Ruling of the Speaker.
The speaker, in rendering his decision,
said that there could be no doubt that
the legislative proceedings Of the two
coordinate branches of the legislature
would be very much impeded II inn
proper reflections were allowed by the
members Of the one body upon mem.
bers Of the other. This was 80 plain, 80
well established that IL seemed unneces.
sary 10 say word in regard TO IL. II
was founded on that principle which
caused members Of the house TO speak
OF each other by phrase rather than
by name, II was intended, NJ far as
possible, TO keep personal feeling out Of
legislation and the chair was very glad,
not only for the advantage Of the rela-
tions between the house and the senate,

n manner rs would make an impression
upon all. The chair, therefore, over
ruled the point Of order raised by Mr..
Grosvenor.

that the house should act and act now.
Mr.. Dalzell, Of Pennsylvania, said that
the speech Of the gentleman from Ohio
had been delivered while an election
case had been under consideration. The
floor had been accorded him on con-
sideration that he speak after the usual
time for adjournment. This accounted
for the fact that there were no Pennsyl-
vania members present Mr.. Cannon,
of Illinois, favored the reference Of the
resolution to committee in order that
Tho House Might Act IntcilIscntly.
In the present form Of the resolution
the whole speech dncluding the obiec-
tionable portion) would be expunged
from The Record. II It were adopted

the most Objectionable part Of IL, cited
by the gentleman from Tennessee, Mr..

marks. After further debate by Messrs.
