comparison OF ms statements 81 alleged
fact a to what the Globe contains.
with the ..Globc itself.
/ After the bill failed to pass oh April
9th, 1872, Mr. Hooper endcavored to
get it again before the House. but did
not succeed, other business having
precedence kept IL back. At least the
index to the .Globe'' does not disclose
that it was again before the House UNI
til May 24th. 1872, and after pretty
careful search through the pages 81
the '.Globe'' I cannot find that il was.
i On May 24th. 1872, Mr. Starkweath-
er. the chairman IL the Committee for
the District of Columbia. who was
then entitled to the floor To make re-
ports from his committee Welded the
floor to Mr.. Hooper to enable him to
report from his committee a substitute
for the coinage bill. and ask for its
passage under suspension Of the
rules. But upon being informed by
Mr.. Potter of y. y that the consider
alton Of the bin would take considera-
bic time Mr.. Starkweather declined
to yield and Mr.. Hooper could not on
that day. report the substitute On
May 27th. 1872, Mr. Hooper GOT on
the floor and called up the coinage
bin, for the purpose as he said, Of
Offering an amendment to ii in the
nature of a substitute. which had
been very carefully prepared. and
Which he had Submitted to the diff
ferent gentlemen IN this House who
have taken a special interest in the
bill. find that it meets with uniyer-
sal appreciation in the form in which
offer it. and he moved that the
rules be suspended and the bill put
/ upon its passage Mr. Brooks of H.
+ T.. asked Mr.. Hooper to wait until
Mr. otter Of \. y was i'm his seat,
which Mr. Hooper declined to do for
the reason that il was SO late III the
session Mr.. Holman said he supposed
it was intended to haze the bill read
The speaker directed that the sub
stitute be read. Mr. Hooper said he
hoped not Il was long bill. and
those who We're interested in il were
| perfectly familiar with its provisions.
After some further discussion a. TO
whether the bill should he read or not
Mr. Hooper moved that the rules be
suspended ard that the bin pass. the
reading thereof being dispensed with.
This Mr. Randall Of Pa, opposed,
saying that be wanted the bill read,
and the question being taken. the
House refused 60 suspend the rules
and allow the bill to pass without
being read. Mr. Mills forgot to state
that sligAr ~ ar perhaps he did not
know it, or he or tho person from
whom he copied. did not find ii in his
search Of the ..Globe." although.
singular to say, it occurs in the same
column and just "a lines lower down
than the first quotation which he
makes from Mr. Hooper
One reading Mr.. Mills letter would
naturally suppose that the second
quotation which he makes from NJ
Holman, and the reply of Mr. Hooper
thereto. as quoted BY him. lmmedi-
ately follows. in the "Globe. the
first quotation from Mr. Hooper. and
/ that those questions and answers
comprised the entire discussion which
took place at the passage of that bill.
But the fact Is that they constitute
/ but a small part Of il. and the episode
Of the refusal Of the House to consent
to the passage of the bill without be-
/ ing read occurs between the first
quotation from Hooper and the second
from Holman. And what is more
singular still. il clearly appears from
/ the Globe THAT the bill was aclu-
ally read At length IN the House, there
ON MAY 10Th. 1872 before its passage.
