Mr.. Vance Introduced bill to repeal eli
cots discriminating 10 taxation againtt the
circulating notes OF State banks.
Mr.. Voorhees,, rising to personal gaes-
ton, sent to the clerks deck and had read
Washington dispatch to the Philadelphia
Press.
Mr. Voorhees, SAID the Senatorial courte-
sy" sresred at by oackguards aud Ec3un
d1slly people outside was simply the observ.
ance OF the dscencies Of life which obtained
among gentlemen. Some OF it had been e1
tended to him By the judiciary committee,
for which he made his profound scknoWl.
edsmente. Il passed his understanding how
this man (the corresi 1dent) knew what
the decision OF the committee would be. His
principal objsos. hoHever, in having the or
tiole read related TO the last paragraph,
where the state aent vas made, explicitly
and unqualifedly, that be had made prop
osition to certain Senstcrs thai, for their
assistance 10 the defeat OF Judge
Woods confirmation, he would favor
o movement on tie democratic side
of TIA chamber to deies Judge Dallas,
of Philadelphia. a grosser lie than thst 1t
would be hardly possible for his satanIc
majesty to conceive. Such a Wish, or
thought, or sagge on, had ueve. entered
his mind OF emanaied from his lips. On
the contrary, bad as he thought the appoint.
men, of Jadge Woods was, improper and
unfit az be conceived and knew tbtt judge
to be for q judicial position, he would fse
himself dishonored snd disgracod teycn6
Redemption II be received. let alone made,
q suggestion to dsiess an honest and COM
petent man like Judge Dallas for the sake OF
getting clear OF t1s appointment CT man
Ike Woods. If any Soua.cr could say that
single suggestion, or thought OF such g
corrupt combination had come from him,
he wanted him to say 30. II he NJ. Voor-
hees) were capable Of making such suz.
ge, on, he would be proper subject for ex-
pulsiou. And the ri cradle falefer cal.
umnistor and slanderer, whoma1e thst t ,te-
ment from the reporters gallery ought to
be exposed to the reproof OF thu Senate.
He called the eft snton CT The committee
on rules to il ga one of t1s most
outrageous acts. He would ofsr no
resolution on the suti,os. because 1t
was personal to himself; but it cre-
ated question In every mind how long
and how far the Ssnste would tolerate such
business. They had seen men put Ia prison
yesterday for libolling d member Of
the Senate, and II the came rules
were pus in opersti ton against a man
who could psn thing OF that kind and
publish 1t 10 such a widely circulated paper
as the Philadelphia Press 1t would be better
for public morally and bst,er for the de.
| cenoy and honor OF tie country. He simply
wanted 10 brand that miserable concoction
OF dishonest heart and brain, as be had
dom.
Messrs. Cameron, Q1ay aud Wllson cor
roborated what Mr. Voorhees said.
Nothing more being eaid or done on the
subject. the Senate passed t, tha consid sra.
ton of the calendar.
HOUSE.
Mr.. Morse, OF Massachusetts, opened the
proceedings 10 the House ,.day by rising to
personal explanation. a most extraordi.
nary proceeding, he said, had been enacted
yesterday by bis colleague, Mr. Hoar, which
he deemed it his duty to take further notice
Of. he claimed that this young gentleman
had violated the proprl,t es which should
obtain among gentlemen. Who had given
that GENTLEMAN his (Mr. Morse's) manu-
script aud by what authority did hs carry
Ii from the public printing ofioa? Some OF
the old members Of the HOUSE had told him
that this action was entirely without preca.
dent. he denied tae right OF the gentleman
to cary his (Mr. Moras's) manuscript In hia
pocket. Hs did not deny availIng himself
of The privilege OF revising his speech ln lon.
material points. That was al the basis for
the psrsonal and abusive .ck the gentle
msu saw q. to m,ke:upon him. L. t not the
House be decs!ved. The gsntlsmau's &C.
ton was not intended for the House. but for
home consumption.
Mr.. Eaar merely replied that be thought
the gentleman from Massachusetts had been
advertised enough.
The consideration OF the rules was then
resumed.
