from that society of the political party
TO which you belong, which bears the
nonored name Of the greatest Repub-
lican, Lincoln
It. would have been entirely pleasing
10 myself and the minority had this
presentation been accompanied with
nothing inappropriate, SO that our as
sent and cordial congrat ulations could
nave, been without reserve and with
complete approval of everything that
was said; but the questionable taste
exhibited by the gentleman who pre-
sehteG this offering III his allusion to
me one occasion upon which you, Mr.
PRESIDENT, and the minority alone re-
NAMED in the discharge of their du-
tles-and implying that the insubor-
ulnauon and lack of consideration for
Your position and authority hy the
majority made it necessary that YOU
should be provided with this emblem
OF official authority to better enable
you TO maintain that order and de-
corum which is due to your station
not only Justifies, but would seem to
make lneXcusable an emission on the
part OF the minority to repaI the in
situation. -
For the minority I can truthfully say
tpa1 we recognize in your treatment.
MT President, perfect courtesy and
lconslqerat ton and in return you enjoy
aS presiding officer as well as per-
sonally our cordial respect and con-
sideration and readiness at all times
70 submit respectfully to your rulings
and authority.
In the past we have remained at
the posts assigned us by our con-
lstituents, jealous to maintain their and
our own rights. contending for our
convictions, submitting cheerfully
when defeated, and / can promise YOU
tllat 70 the end of this session with
like cordiality and respect we shall be
found pursuing the same course And,
Mr.. President. we take an especial
pleasure in extending our congratula-
ions to you, and approval of your
conduct on the occasion alluded to,
That OF your party you remained faith
FULLY at your post whence all but
you had fled"
The reference to the patient. courage
Gus and persistent effort of that low
land people alluded TO by Mr.. Brown,
in building that wall that reclaimed
from the sea the historic land which
thence became the habitation of a
and giving to the world models of
laws and institutions, was in itself
most beautiful. The characteristics of
such people make it natural that
from some of them should have sprung
that noble Holland lad who at night
fall discovering the crevice in the dixie,
unmindful of moaning winds and rush
ling waves should have remained
through the dark hours alone to stay
the entertainments of the food that
else would have devastated and de-
populated that commonwealth But
how unfortunate the comparison in
allusion to the attitude of the majority
in this chamber upon the occasion re-
ferred to. Had the heroism of that
boy been exacted Of one Of the ma
ljority here, old ocean would have been
signing the requiem of an extinct peo-
pie.
In conclusion, Mr.. President, l think
lit will not be amiss to suggest to the
representative of the Lincoln club that
there would be great propriety in tax
ing its resources once more in the
interest Of its appreciation OF your
services and in rendering effectual
your authority, and to that end 1 will
be permitted to suggest that in addi-
ton to this beautiful gavel you be
furnished a sufficient number of lassoes
to prevent any repetition of the ten
dency of the majority to escape from
this chamber
SEAMAN TAKES A HAND.
Seaman said that a word fifty spoken
is like apples of gold in pictures of
unfitly spoken creates i'll feeling and
anger. He was sorry that words had
been uttered in that presentation
speech that had reused partisan feel
ing 1t was in poor taste to revive
Irecollections of acts that are to be
deplered IF the Lincoln club came to
understand the motives that actuated
the minority in the course taken it
would greatly regret the language used
in the presentation speech.

A JOINT COMMITTEE.

on memorials from both houses be made
a Joint committee on memorials. to
layoid a conflicting of the duties of the
committees from both houses, and to
avoid misunderstanding Taylor said
that no resolution of the kind should

current resolution in regard to the
