ITS CENSURE NAo PRAISE
Bynum's Singing Reply to the
Despotic Majority in the
House.
It Thought to Humiliate Him, But
Failed Inglor-
iously.
One Of the Most Tumultuous Days in the
History of tho Body-Other
Capital News.

terly Impossible to consider and debate the
bill carefully in the few days allowed by
the rigorous rule reported by the committee
on rules.
Breckenridge, of Kentucky, opposed the
pending amendment, which fixed duty of
60 cents per square yard and forty per cent
ad valorem on oriental, Berlin and similar
rugs, but it was agreed to. A number of
adopted. Outhwaite, of Ohio. attacked the
drawback feature of the bill. declaring it
would be for the interest of the Standard
Oil company. Bayne, of Pennsylvania,
speaking to verbal amendment, sent to the
clerks desk and had read a letter from
James Campbell, of Pittsburg, Pa, denying
statements rejecting upon his character
ana, and Wilson, of West Virginia. In the
letter he strongly attacked those gentlemen.
Springer said the letter was unworthy of
being put on the record of the house and
unworthy of the gentleman who presented
it.
Wheeler, of Alabama. made point of or
der that the letter should be stricken from
the record.
The chair ruled that the gentleman who
presented the letter was responsible for it.
Funston. of Kansas, offered an amend

silver ores and all ores containing lead shall
lead contained therein. according to sample
and assay at the port of entry.
Bynum claimed recognition on q question
of personal privilege relating to the Camp

Bynum endeavored to proceed but was
shouted down by the republican side.
ing at the top of his voice that gentleman
for whom he had the highest respect had
been charged with forgery and he wanted
to present the letter in his defense. Brock
enridge. of Kentucky, shouted out to the
chairman that it WAS not fair to silence 4
man who had been publicly attacked and
let the man speak who made himself the
sponsor of the slanderer.
Amid intense excitement, Bayne was
heard to declare that Campbell was equal
in everybody's respect to the member from
Kentucky, and Breckenridge to assert that
he had no doubt the member from Pennsyl-
vania took the man as his standard of man
hood.
After half an hour of uproar, Bynum Sc
cured the floor amid comparative quiet.
and said Campbells affidavit was to the
effect that Wilson and he had said that $15
In his district, where he was known, the
affidavit had not been circulated, but it
had been circulated in Wilson'S district.
He had telegraphed to Virginia papers de-
nouncing Campbell as a liar and perjurer.
Since then the gentleman from Pennsyl-
vania had constituted himself the sewer
through which this attack of Campbell had
made its wav into record.
Cheadle,:o Indiana, madea point of order
that the language was out of order.
The chair thought the word "Sewer"
in this connection hardly parliamentary.
