I QUESTION: or HIGH PERSONAL PKINI-
LEGE.
Mr.. PEBBLES said: arise 10 a QueS-
ton OF the highest personal priv
lege. During last nights session OF
this House, attempted TO leave the
hall Of the House Of Representatives.
when / was confronted at the Iool
by negro (whose name | under
stand is Eli Stanfor1) and told by
said negro that | could not leave tn.
hall. | asked him by what authority
he dared 70 imprlson me in the hal
of the House Of Representatives. h.
replied, "by orders OF the door
keeper.h ! stated to him that Their
had been Nc call OF the House an,
that the door keeper had no right t.
, prevent my leaving the hall
lie had hold of the doc
knob and said | could no
20 out Of the door, | took hold of hi
hand to release the door knob so a
to open the door and go out, when h
resisted my efforts to leave the hal

Of my person, and for "a moment re
+ strained me of my right OF ire
egress from said hall. At this junct
ure another negro, to me unknown
, Joined said Eli in his assault on N
oerson. This uncalled for and III
j lstifable assault would in all prot
ability have ended in serious result
, bat for the timely assistance OF Nh
Lee, of Haywood county. This con
duet seems to me to be direct IL
suit to the House of Representative
and to each member thereof. | hav
l deemed it my duty to lay the fact
] before this body in order that -
0 House may have an opportunity
! take such steps as it may think nee

nifty.
