was agreed to, directing the Secretary OF the
Interior to report any information In the pos

Senator Hoar called up the resolution re-
ported by him yesterday, for the exclusion from
he Record of the sentences interpolated by
Senator Call in the report of his remarks in the
discussion with Senator Chandler some weeks
ago.
After some further debate, Eustis said there is
not any exsggeration Of what is inserted in the
Record ompared with what was publicly uttered
on the floor. The language is not the same, but
the accusation IS. The idea is the same, the
ARRANGEMENT is the same although he confessed
the language issued in the Record was probably
a little more howery than that uttered.
Edmunds illustrated the question by allusion
to the election in Louisiana OF the Legisl atHre,
ito which the Senste was indebted for the pleas
ure of Mr.. Eustis presence. might say on the
floor OF the Senate he added, THAT believe
the Senator misrepresents the State OF L2uisl-
ana, and that if there had been an honest count
in that Slate, the Senate would not nave
that pleasure now. If tomorrow there appears
in the Record that this was accomplished III the
same way as the action by the Senator himself,
that with bloody hands and wicked intentions
he had managed by fraud and violence to con-
struct Leg Stature of that character. / sup

all that had not been said yesterday and that 1t
was very improper for me, behind his back, TO
have 1t inserted in the Record"

the official reporter might know exactly the
sentence to be written down.

Vermont to impute distinctly TO the Senator
from Louisiana the defense of murder, and il
was to that language he excepted to. The SEN
tence was written out by the official repor er,
| and having been read by the Clerk, Daniels said
those were not the words he excepted to.
At the suggestion of Hoar, Daniels and the re
porter retired to find the Objectionable sentenace

as it was difficult TO find the sentence he would
not press the matter.
Edmunds said the Record purported to be
