might lead to trouble outside of the House

the Democratic side
Springer made the point of order that
before resolution of censure could be
adopted, the speaker must decide that the
language was supplementary.

from the last resolution of the kind ever
presented in the House. That resolution
was offered by Herbert, and directed
against John Van worms, of New York.

Springer protested, saying the speaker
heard the motion and need not pretend that
he had not.
McMillin called attention to the fact that
the yeas and nays on the previous question
were not ordered. The speaker thereupon |
recognized Springer, who moved to refer |

language used by Bynum was was out of |

justification for it's USE

Bland moved to reconsider. The speaker
declined to recognize the motion, declaring
1t dilatory. There was another scene Of

gentleman from Indiana had violated all |
parliamentary usage. The time had come,
IN view OF the language heretofore used by
him, that the line should be drawn where
parliamentary proceedings cease and viola

Herbert, of Alabama, pretended that
Bayne had been the aggressor by having
read letter grossly attacking the gentle
man from Indiana.

language OF the gentleman from Indiana

Miles spoke sharply, asserting that
Bayne had given the first offense and Sc
