HOUSE.

The opening proceedings Of the Aouse this
morning were not noteworthy. Afew personal
requests were granted, few corrections Of the
record we're made. and the committee on agr.-
culture granted leave to set during the
sessions of the House.
MIR. Watson (Ga.), rising to a question OF
personal privilege, sent to the clerks desk and
had read special dispatch to the Atlanta Con-
stuuttOn from Washington criticising his vote
upon the Craig Stewart contested election case.
intimating that In voting for Stewart he was
playing into the hands of the republicans in
order that he might secure financial aid from
them in his campaign for Congress.
THE SPEAKERS CLERK ATTACKED.
That communication. said Mr.. Watson, was
written by one Of the clerks of this House, and
1t charged him with having voted corruptly in
the election case. 1t was not long since that
his good name was all the property
he had on earth, when it was mis-
house and home, when it was both
his personality and his realty; and the
time had not yet come land never would when
he possessed anything that was dearer to him.
The article which he had read charged him,
In the cowardly language of insinuation,
as having acted corruptly as a sworn
Juror; his answer to this charge
would be made as plainly and
as promptly as honor and courage required
that 1t should be made. If one of the reading
clerks should denouncs corrupt one Of the
members of the House the House would be
startled and reply would be made.
>, But when the clerk to the Speaker of the
House denounced through the public prints a
gentleman whom he knew to be political op-
ponent of the Speaker. the justification tor re-
ply was still more complete.
THE STATEMENT WAS FALSE.
The statement in the newspaper in so far as
1t pretended to state the facts, was false. The
Speaker knew it to be false, the gentleman who
wrote it knew it to be false, and every member
of the House knew it to be false. Many a
woman, fair and beautiful many a
man bright and ambitious, had sold them
selves for honors, place and fame. Only
the vilest OF men and women sold
themselves for money. Since he
had been in the House he had
attempted to establish a character for openness
and manliness and fairness. Ever since he had
been here the clerk to the Speaker had
thought it his duty to disparage him, to
ridicue him and to misrepresent him. The
climax had now been reached and patience was
no longer a virtue. He denounced the insinu-
alton, cowardly as it was, as a base and in
famous falsehood.
DISTRICT APPROPRIATION BILL.
The matter was then dropped end the House
went into committee of the whole (Mr Rich
ardson Of Tennessee in the chair on the Dis
