/CE.XIXTII CONSIRESS-IMMT SESSION. [ALOBE OF YESTERDAY'S PROCPrT)MOS.] SENATE.-Mr. Anthony offered a resolu tion instructing the Military Committee to inauire whether the full Army Register has been compiled, in accordance with a reso lution of March 7th, 1865, what rite cost would be, &c. Adopted. - Mr. Williams presented the petition of the Oregon City Manufacturing Company, set ting forth that they are engaged in the manufacture of woolen cloths, and they are compelled to pay a tax first on the raw ma terial and then on the manufactured article. They ask a modification of the Internal Re -venue law that shall require them to pay but one tax. Referred to the Finance Com mittee. Mr. Howard called up the Senate bill to reconsider the order of the President desig nating the Sioux City and Pacific a branch of the Pacific Railroad. Mr. Howard said the order referred to was issued by Presi dent Lincoln Dec. 25, 1864. • _Mr. Grimes offered a substitute for Mr. Howard's bill requiring the Sioux City and Pacific Railroad to construct their Pacific branch upon the best and most direct route subject to the future approval of the Presi dent of the United States. In the course of thedebate Mr. McDougall charged Mr. Conness with having a personal interest inthe matter, and that he was dis cussing the bill with a view to his own inte rests, and not with a regard for the public good. Mr. Conness responded in an excited man ner, that Mr. McDougall was not in a con dition to know what he was saying. He was constantly in' such a state that he was a disgrace to this body. Mr. McDougall—l rise, Mr. President, for the purpose of prouotmoing the assertion of the Senator a falsehood. I call him to order. Mr. Conness—Mr. President, I ask to be protected in debate. The President pro tem.--The Chair will Ondavor, at all times, to proteot Senators in debate. Mr. McDougall—Mr. President, I desire to state a point of order. My colleague has made a statement personal to myself, which is false in point of fact. I submit that having made an assertion which is untrue, it is strictly parliamentary for me to pronounce that assertion a falsehood, and to call the Senator to order. Mr. Sumner—Mr. President, I respectful ly submit that the Senator cannot be al lowed to proceed. He is entering into ar gument. Mr. McDougall—l am stating my point of order. The Chair was unable to perceive that the Senator had made any point of order. Mr. McDougall—l repeat that my col league has uttered falsehood; that the terms which I apply to his remarks is strictly parliamentary, both according to the practice and precedent of the British Parliament and of this Senate for fifty years and that I have a right to use it. Mr. Conness—The Senator (Mr. McDou gall) does not represent California either politically or morally. He was en franchised by the State five years ago, since which time he has not returned to see his constituents. I have been compelled to sit here and submit to the assumptions and representations made by that Senator, and have borne it. I nave sat in my place when that Senator, so far from representing that high toned moral and courageous constitu ency of that great sovereignty:, sat in his chair, or rather lay in his chair, the object of pity before an audience assembled here trom nearly every State in the Union. I have covered my eyes more than once with shame before these exhibits. -My associates now must not understand that I am dead to considerations of this character, but sit Silently and quietly, and in pity even for him, was biding my time when the Senator (Mr.McDougall), by the termination of his official career, should cease thus to misrep resent, thus to humiliate, thus to shock and thus to disgrace not only the State that honored him, and enfranchised him, but the American character and the American Senate; But sir, I could not hear it this morning, in view of the wanton k unprovoked and disorderly assault mad upon myself. The Senator rises here and bandies the word falsehood, Mr. President, against me. The Senator dare riot do that, sir, out of this body. Mr. - McDougall rose and rapped his desk excitedly, and said I will do it. • Mr. Connesti—Mr. President, I dare not reply, for my Senatorial character is in issue here.. I dare not reply here to con duct so despicable as that is. ' I dare not respond .to it, sir, in my character for truth and veracity, and for honor in my repre sentative character. I have no comparison to make, sir, with him; I shrink, air, from the contrast as from all the pollution that hell could vomit forth in its most disgust ing form. I have no contrast to make, Mr, President. With charity, with kindness, with what was due to the Senatorial rela tion, notwithstanding the provocations in every point of view, I would at any time, since I have sat here, have --- saerificed them all before the high and imperious dnty of vindicating this great American forum, and would have cast a vote upon any day for the expulsion of the Senator, (McDougall,) because of his offences committed here again and again against the dignity of -this body. But, sir, I could not lead in such a work. Forgetful of this consideration in his behalf, he has repeated, again and again, these outrages and violations of order and decorum and dignity until forbearanee has ceased to be a virtue. The Senate have constantly done themselves and the coun try a wrong. It was not enough, Mr. Pre sident, for that Senator that this great body had" concluded that he was not fit to be any longer a member of any of its committees to sit upon legislative 9nestian-s.- That silent but most positive condemnation only sci far from bringing reformation or change, has degraded the object still more, sir until having no character to lose and nothing in controversy, he rises here and commits the last offence this morning. Mr. Johnson (Md.) rose and suggested that it would be better to discontinue a dis cussion of this character. - Mr. McDougall rose to interrupt Mr. Johnson, to say a few words. Mr. Johnson declined to-yield. - Mr. Conness said he had closed his 're marks in relation to•his colleague. He felt as deeply as, any man could feel the pain of this whole proceeding. He regretted it, but be could say no'less than he had said under the'provocation be had received. • Mr. MaDougall rose and saidhe would be More respectful in his language than his colleague, whom he would not speak of as the sober but as the "superb" Senator, (Mr. Conness). There was a little "story that, would snit the case. It was that of a man by the name of Pettigrew, of South Carolina, who had won a case at law against a family, the fighting member of-which,Tet him one day, and, walking up to him, said: "Petigrew, you are a d -d liar !" Petti grew took no notice. "Then," said he, "Pettigrew; you are a G-d d=--d scoun drel !" Pettigrew took no notice. "Then," said he, "Pettigrew, you are a G-d d---d son of a l" The Chair (ffr..Foster) interrupted Mr. NeDougall,saying that-such stories contain ing such language ought not to be repeated in the Senate. Mr. McDougall then said be would. Make a few remarks due 'to hinaself. He. pro- ; seededto relate what occurred duritig,thS contest in the f2alifornia Legislature, when. m e was elected Senator. ,-A geatlean, then a'Slate Senator" of Cali forrila,,called oa him end urged to be a catididaea, , flo de clined. Afterwards he agreed to, ran, and t bis,same person became his violent enewv and the advocate of a man who was in ftvor of establishing slavery In California. When the election was over and he (Nb3Dougall) was successful, this State Senator called en him to congratulate him. He declined his congratulations, knowing him to have been his enemy. There were men who never . could cease to slander those whom they had once injured. He would leave the Senate to make the application. On, motion of Mr. Doolittle, the further consideration of the pending bill was post poned until to-morrow. The Senate agreed to the appointment of. a Committee of Conference on the resolution to prohibit the sale of liquor in the Capitol. Mr. Johnson introduced a bill authorizing the establishment of a navy yard and coal and naval depot at the harbor of Annapolis, Maryland. Referred to the Committee on Naval Affairs. _ Mr. Hendricks (Ind.) called up the bill from the Naval Committee for the relief of certain naval contractors, directing the pay ment to certain parties of the sums named in the bill, to make good losses sustained by the building of iron-clads. After some remarks from Mr. Hendricks in favor of the bill, Mr. Grimes (Iowa) offered a substitute for it, directing the Secretary of the Treasury to pay to the parties named in the bills the sums acrcedited to them by a naval board appointed by a resolution of March 'last; provided; that, except in the case of the Co manche, the amount shall not exceed twelve per cent. of the original contract price. Mr. Sumner (Mass.) offered and amend ment-declaring Donald McKay, of Boston, and Miles Greenwood, of Cincinnati, to be lintitled to the same rate of compensation as is provided for the parties building the same kind of vessels builtby them. Mr..N•ye (Nevada) moved to strike out twelve per cent. and insert fifteen per cent. in Mr. Grimes's amendment. On motion of Mr. Wade, the further con sideration of the above was postponed until • to-morrow. The bill in relation to the habeas corpus was taken up, but without taking action, the Senate, at half-past four went into Exe cutive session, and soon after adjourned. HOUSE.—Mr. Plants (Ohio) presented the joint resolutions of the Ohio Legislature in favor of subjecting to State taxation national currency and other obligations. Referred to the Committee of Ways and Means. Mr. Schenck (Ohio) offered a resolution, which was adopted, directing the Secretary of War to communicate to the House the report of the Judge Advocate General, and such other information as may be of record or on file in his department, showing what are the facts in the case, and what steps have been taken to bring to justice and punishment the murderers of eighteen sol diers of the Ist and 2d regiments of North Carolina loyal infantry, alleged to have been tried and executed by order of the rebel Generals Pickett and Hoke, under pretext of their being deserters from the Confederate service. Mr. McKee (Ky.) offered a resolution, which was adopted, requesting the Presi dent to communicate to the House any cor respondence with the French Government in regard to the withdrawal of its forces from Mexico, which may have been ex changed since the correspondence commu nicated to the House with the President's message of January 5, 1856; whether that correspondence has been published by the French Government among the official do cuments communicated to the French Chambers or not, and especially any cor respondence in regard to any specific pro mise from the French Emperor to put a stop to his proceedings in the sister republic of Mexico and discontinuing imperialism there. Mr. Paine (Wis.) offered a resolution in structing the Committee on Rules to inquire into and report on the expediency of pro viding, by amendment of the rules, that when the House shall have under conside ration a bill or - resolution - returned by the President, with his objections, neither a ma tion to lay on the table nor a motion to post done indefinitely shall be in order. Mr. Eldridge (Wis ) moved to lay the re solution on the table. Lost, yeas 45, nays,s7. The resolution was then adopted Mr. Ingersoll (11L) offered a resolution in structing the Committee for the District of Columbia to inquire into the expediency of establishing by law sthe eight hour system, as it is called, as constituting a day's work in the District of Columbia. Mr. Farnsworth (Ill.) inquired whether the resolution should not be amended by re dunbag the time to six hours and a half. Other members suggested six hours and a quarter, and other limits of time. Mr, Wilson (Iowa) suggested that a pro position on the subject of government em ployes in the District was before the Com mittee on the Judiciary, and that that com mittee had taken action on it. Mr. Ingersoll said hewas aware of that, but this resolution went further, and pro posed to establish'by law a regulation of the hours of labor in this District for all labor ing classes. Mr. Farnsworth moved to lay the resolu tion on the table Lost—yeas, 16; nays, 91. The morning hour having expired, the re solution went over till next Monday. • On motion of Mr. Wentworth (Ill.) the House proceeded to business on the Speak er's table, when the concurrent resolution prohibiting the sale of spirituous and other liquors in the Capitol building and grounds was taken up, the Senate having disagreed to the amendment of the House extending the resolntiqn to the other public buildings and grohnds in the District. On motion of Mr. Wentworth, the House insisted on its amendment and asked for a Committee of Conference. Mr. Stevens (Pa.) asked leave to offer the following resolution: Whereas., It is important that our lega tions abroad shall be kepkruly advised of the state of the country; therefore, be it Resolved by the House, the Senate con curring, That the Clerk of the House be di rected to furnish three copiesof the Morning Chronicle to each of our foreign legations, consular agents and commercial agents, for the use of said legations and attaches, and that he pay for the same out of the contin gent fund of the House. Mr. Rodgers (N. J.) objected. • Mr. Hall made the question of order that this was a proposition to devote part of the contingent fund of the House to a purpose entirely outside of the organization and duties of the House. The Speaker Overruled the point of order. n an appropriation bill a sum was set apart for the contingent expenses of the Souse, and it was for the House itself to determine how that sum should be disbursed. Mr. Stevens (Pa.) moved to suspend - the rules, in order to enable him to - offer the re solution; The House refused to suspend the rules— yeas 60, nays 44. Not two-thirds. Mr. Rogers (N. J.) presented the joint re solution of . the New Jersey Legislature in favor of increasing the salary of naval officers. Referred to the Committee on Naval Affairs. Mr. Eldridge and Mr. Cobb presented the joint 'resolutions' of the Wisconsin Legisla ture in favor of changing the route of the larid grant - roadfrom - Portage to Superior. Referred to the Committee on Public Lands.

The correspondent de scribed the incident, audit was to his 'de scription of it dist Mr. Whaley objected as unkind and ungenerous. It was too' com mon a thing, he thought, for reporters to slander members. Mr. Rogers rose to make a personal ex planation in reference to a paragraph which appeared in the New York Times, of Tues day last, reflecting on Mr. Conkling, in COLD action with. the , reintroduction _of the Bankrupt he had - been-instru mental in defeating. He, himself had thought of introducing it again, in order , to revive the committee, but he had judged it better to let it come from one of the mem bers on the majority side of the House, and the Speaker, whom he had consulted, had agreed with him on the propriety of having Mr. Conkling offer the bill. [Laughter.] He was convinced that the country should have some kind of a bankrupt bill, and so was Mr. Conkling. It waa a mere matter of courtesy to Mr. .Tenckes that the bill was reintroduced, not to take away -any of the prestige of the gentleman from Rhode Island. The Speaker explained that on the'rejec tion of the Bankrupt bill hahad informed the gentleman from New York (Mr. Conk ling) and some other gentlemen, as it was his duty to do,in reference to parliamentary questions, that the Special Committee on the Bankrupt law could be revived by the introduction of a new bill and its reference to tkat 'Committee. Mr. Conkling (N. Y.) expressed his ob ligations to the gentleman from New Jer sey for making the explanation he had done. An act of personal courtesy and jus tice from - a political opponent was always a refreshing relief from the , monotony of party spirit. Mr. Ross (DI.) suggested that he would like to see some of that refreshing matter come from the Republican side of the House. Mr.• Conkling proceeded to say that this was not the less so when it was called out by the malice of those who did not happen to be admired by political opponents. He had satisfied himself that the somewhat malicious and venomous paragraphs which bad been read were not telegraphed to the New York Times by either of the avowed and responsible Washington correspond ents of that paper. From a long acquain tance with one of these gentlemen, he should have been very much surprised if be had made use of a mere act of personal courtesy to defame any member of the House. Mr. Jenckes (R. I.) stated his belief that the fact was as had been stated by both the gentlemen from New Jersey and New York. The bill had been introduced while he was absent from his seat, but immediately on his return the gentleman (Mr. Conkling) explained the reason for his action, and re ceived his (Mr. Jenckes') thanks therefor. Be Zhad no connection whatever with the origination or publication of the paragraph. Mr. Raymond (N. Y.) said he rose neither to make disclaimers nor admissions. He simply rose inconsequence of the somewhat peculiar language which-Lis colleague (Mr. Conk ling) had seen fit to apply to the para graph in question. This was the first time that the New York Times had been drawn into this controversy. He had understood that paragraph to have appeargd in another paper. His colleague had acquitted two gentlemen of responsibility for that para graph, but whether they would be obliged to him for his voluntary acquittal was their concern. He did not know but that his col league might have intended, from some pe= culiarity in his manner and emphasis, to throw the responsibility on him (Mr. Ray mond) as the known editor of that paper. When his colleague would be more plain and explicit on the point, he (Mr. Ray mond) should be prepared to give him such an answer as the case would require. • Mr. Conkling said that if his colleague thought there was anything in the evidence, circumstantial or otherwise, before the House, calling on him to admit or disclaim having telegraphed or inspired a libel on . one of his colleagues, that was a question for him. He repeated, that he had reason to believe that neither of the ordinary cor respondents of the Tinws sent that para graph. Mr. Raymond said he did not feel dis posed to disclaini or admit anything on the strength of such an appeal as his colleague had seen fit to make. He bad not seen the paragraph, and had supposed when it was read at the desk that it was from the N. Y. Herald. All that be knew about the matter was that he was informed immediately after his colleague had introduced the bill that after killing the bill he bad introduced it in precisely the same terms. He presumed be had repeated that fact to several people. He did not recollect whether he had re peated it to any newspaper correspondents. He had never had any feeling against his colleague in this or another matter, and bad never expressed any by correspondence or in conversation. Mr. Conkling desire to make one very emphatic disclaimer; that was, that he had not made any appeal whatever to his col league. If his colleague felt called upon to say anything on the subject, it was in con sequence of a prompting other than any suggestion of his. The bill which he had introduced was one sent to him by the gen t:eman froth New Jersey; and he had, even without looking at it, sent it to the Clerk's desk with the simple motive of having it referred to the Select Committee on the Bankrupt Law, and thus reviving that Committee. Every gentleman knew the animus of the paragraph. It was an accu sation that the person referred to had been acting here in a double sense; that he had been d.efeating a bill, so far as it was in his power to do so, and then re-introducing it and clairnhig it aabis own. Be, therefore repeated that it was an extraordinary state! ment, and a venomous one; and he would stand by what he said. If others were con tent to leave it there, he was quite content. Mr. Raymond said he was not quite con tent to leave it just there. He begged now to say, as he had said before, that he was in no sense responsible for that paragraph, eXept., 'possibly, by conversation with others. He might have made himself re sponsible for the fact stated in it, namely, the fact that his colleague, having opposed the bill; nd contributed to its defeat, imme diately re-introduced the, mune hilt. =That was ft fact, and, in the absence of any ex planation,' he'would take leave to saythat the circumstance gave rise to a construction which might or might not be venemous, but was certainly not complimentary. He (Mr. Raymond) put no such construction upon it, but he would take the liberty to say:that others did. The explanation given war satisfactory, he supposed, to all, as it was to the gentleman who was the ac knowledged author of the bill. With that explanation the matter was clear enough. Without it, he submitted that it was not clear enough. After some skirmishing, harmless la its effects. the-matter-was-allowed to drop. Mr. - Van Horrr (N. - Y.) presented petitions from Niagara .and Genesee counties, New York, signed by. 215 citizens, asking, an in crease rit dntY4rn wool. Mr. ,Ketchtun , (N. Y.) presented, c mour reht refit-0 hitions - of the ' Legislature of the Spiv o f New York in regard to the adjudi cated' elainih - of the Militia of that State who served in the warof , lBl2.. :ix el I -Conkling ( - N. - .X„ - )preeented -Abe peti tion aa . , the -pwneKs of several flax mills, praying that- a duty of ittleaSt 50 pencent. ad-- valorem may; be laid on coarse 'flax yarns. coarse litiens; heiatli and jute goods, and no duty upon foreign flax for fine fabrics; and a yetition of the citizens of L - ' • SDAY, APRIL-17;1866. Utica Pra.9blgthe passage of laws regulating,' inter-State insurances. Referred to- the 'Committee on .Ways and Means. • The. Rouse proceeded, as the regular order of business, to .the consideration of the bill rcported from the Committee on Military A ffai re , to reorganize and establish the army of •the United States, the pending question being on amendments to the third section. . Mr. Stevens (Pa.) moved to amend the section by providing that two of the new cavalry regiments shall be composed of 901- ored men. Mr. Chanler (N. Y.) opposed the amend ment, and demanded the yeas and nays. The amendment was agreed to by a vote of yeas 69, nays 28. Several other amendments were proposed and discussed and some agreed to. Mr. Ross moved to recommit the bill to the Committee on Military Affairs, with instructions to modify and remodel it on the plan of reducing the army to forty thousand men. Mr. Rogers made a speech in favor of the proposed reduction, which Mr. Blaine (Me.) characterized as a wishy washy style of debate. The motion was lost. Mr. Rogers moved to amend the third section by adding to it a proviso that the army should not exceed thirty thousand uteri. Mr. Schenck (Ohio) submitted that the amendment was not in order. Mr. Rogers appealed to Mr. Schenck to wait until he found out his object. Mr. Schenck—Oh! I know your object. It is to make that same old speech that we have on every occasion. [Laughter.] Mr. Rogers protested that it was not. The point of order was overruled by the Speaker pro tem., Mr. Washbarne (Ill.). Mr. Rogers said he wished to vindicate himself from the malicious assaults which the gentleman from Maine (Mr. Blaine) was in the habit of making upon him. When ever he (Mr. Rogers) addressed the House he always confined- himself strictly to the question before the House, and never di gressed from the subject. [Laughter.] He made no general speeches and no Saturday speeches, and he should be treated at least with common respect by the gentleman from Maine. The House would recollect how that gentleman had abused him, and treated him in a moat shameful and indeco rous manner, on the occasion, some weeks since, of his speaking to a series of resolu tions which he had offered. It was most contemptible and indiscreet on the part of that gentleman to undertake to browbeat and malign him whenever he addressed the House. Mr. Blaine pleaded that the gentleman from New Jersey could only point to two occasions when he had given hini cause to complain out of the multitude of times when he (Mr. Rogers) had addressed the House during the three sessions they had been here together. He confessed that he had spoken roughly, and on the gentleman's appeal to him he was willing to apologize. Mr. Rogers accepted the apology, and withdrew his amendment. After further amendments to the third sec tion, the house proceeded to the considera tion of the fourth section. The bill as so far considered and amended, the first section however being passed over informally, provides as follows: Be It enacted, by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That the military peace establishment of the United States shall hereafter consist of five regi ments of artillery, twelve regiments of cav alry, fifty-five regiments of infantry, the professors and corps of cadets of the United States Military Academy, and such other forces as shall be provided for by this act, to be known as the army of the United States. Sc.E 2. And be it further enacted, That the five regiments of artillery provided for by this act shall consist of the five regiments, now organized, and the first, second, third, and fourth regiments of artillery shall have the same organization as is now prescribed by law for the fifth regiment of artillery, pro vided, that the regimental adjutants and masters and commissaries shall hereafter be extra first. lieutenants. SEC. 3. And be it further enacted, That to the six regiments of cavalry now in service there shall be added six regiments, two of which shall be composed of colored men, having the same organization as is now pro vided by law for cavalry regiments. And in making . appointments to till the original vacancies in the regiments thus provided for, and for a period of three years after the passage of this act, and all the first and sec ond lieutenan ts and two-thirds of the officers in each of the grades above that of first lieu tenant shall be selected from among the officers and soldiers of volunteers who have served in the army of the United States in the late war for the suppression of the rebel lion, and have been distinguished for capac ity, good conduct, and efficient service. Provided, however, That graduates of the United States Military Academy shall im mediately upon such graduation, be eligible to appointment tie second lieutenants; and that, after the original vacancies are filled, enlisted men of the regular army who shall have served at least one year shall, in like manner, be eligible to appointment as sec ond lieutenants. Any portion of the cavalry three herein authorized may be dismounted and armed and drilled as infantry, at the discretion of the President. But the num ber so dismounted shall be taken, so faros the interests of the service will permit, pro portionately and impartially from the seve ral cavalry regiments. Each cavalry regi ment shall hereafter have but one hospital steward,;and the regimental adjutants, quar termasters, and comnaissariesshall hereafter be extra first lieutenants, and such regiment shall have one veterinary surgeon,- whose compensation shall be one hundred dollars per month. The fourth section, which now came before the House for amendment, reads as follows: And be it further enacted, That the in fantry regiments herein provided for shall consist of the first ten regiments Of ten com panies : each, now in service; of twenty seven regiments, to be formed by adding two companieS to each of the twenty-seven battalions constituting the remaining regi mes:its; of ten regiffients, to be raised and officered as hereinafter provided for, to be called the Veteran Reserve Corps; and of eight regiments - of colored men, to be raised:and-officered as hereinafter prwided, to be known as U. S. Colored Troops. Mr. Boyer (Pa.) moved to-amend the sec tion by striking out all in reference to the Veteran Reserve Corps and Colored Troops. The amendment was lost by a vote of— yeas 16, nays 79. Mr. Davis moved to amend by striking out the words "of ten regiment to -be officered as hereinafted provided for, to be be called the Veteran Reserve Corps." He addressed the House in support -of his amendment. hfr..lngeraoll (ILL) opposed the amend ment, speaking in highly complimentary terms of the Veteran Reserve Corps, which obght - to beretained; hesaid, as "The Old :Guard," of the Republic._ Idr. Eldridge'( Wis.) inquired why, if it was such a glorious thing to belong to the army; the g,entleman from Illinois had. not EOUght that privilege tor himself. = - Ingersoll,--I, was ,requtred at home, sir, during the war, to take care of just such contempt rble copperheads as the gentleman from "Wi-consin. [Laughter.] If all honest and-patrio tie—gentlest' e =my s elf-had gone to the front, such copperheads as-..the ge.ntleman would ,have taken the Govern ment of the country; and it would' LIAVO gone to eternal -rum.. [Laughter and Hp . - plauseon the floor anrlin the galleries.] The Speaker prO tern,: Mr. Washburn.) (1114 : declared that applause in the galleries and,in the hall was out of order. Mr. Rogers asked the Chair whether it was in order in public debate to abuse a fel low member of the House by calling him "a contemptible copperhead?" The' Speaker pro tem. thought that that was not in order. • Mr. Eldridge—l wish the decision was the other way,for the gentleman (Mr.lngersoll) certainly has no more contempt for me than I have for him; [Encouragement from the Democratic side.] Mr. Ingersoll—l do not care any thing about what the gentleman says. I have had to bear the slang and slanders of such as he for severalyears. I did•not personally cali him "contemptible." I applied the term to a political party that has embarrassed the Union, encouraged the rebellion s and done all it could to defeat the North in the late war. Ido call such people "contempti ble." Mr. Rogers (N. J.) protested that it was out of order for -Et member to abuse the members of another party, unless they had an opportunity to reply. If that opportu nity was giv i en he was willing to let the day be devoted to that. If there were traitors and disunionists anywhere, they were in the ranks of the opposite party. [Calla to order.] Mr...inge.rsoll (Ill.) wished to say a word. Mr. - Eldridge (Wis.) insisted that as the Chair had decided the gentleman from Illi nois to be out of order, he, mutt be com pelled, Under the rules, to, take his seat. The Speaker pro tern directed Mr. Inger soll to take his seat, which he did amid much laughter. • Mr. .Rice (Me.) moved that the gentleman from Illinois be allowed to proceed in order. The motion was agreed to. Mr. Ingersoll (Ill.) resuming—Mr.Speak er, suppose Jeff. Davis should call me a traitor, should I pay any attention to it? Mr. Rogers (N; - .T.) raised the point of or der that jeff. 'Davis had nothing to do with the question before the House. Mr. Ingersoll—He may have. If that party ever gets into power Jeff. Davis will be one of its leaders. . The Speaker pro tem. sustained the point of order. Dir.laidridge made another point of order. that the gentleman from Illinois had no right to charge members on .his side of the House that they were the followers of Jeff. Davis, or that he was their leader, That was an abuse'of the privileges of the House. The Speaker, pro tern., decided that Mr. Ingersoll, was not in order in his remarks, as not beine pertinent to the subject under discussion. Mr. Eldridge submitted that the gentle man was out of order in charging members on his side of the House with being follow ers of Jeff. Davis. That, he said, was his question of order. The Speaker, pro tem. (with much serious ness of manner)—The Chair cannot decide whether that is in order or not. [Outbursts of laughter.] Mr. Rogers offered to withdraw all ob jection and let Mr. Ingersoll proceed, if members on his side were allowed to answer him. The Speaker, pro tem.—The gentleman from In 'Yuba is entitled to the floor, and will proceed in order. Mr. Ingersoll, resuming—l was showing the necessity of preserving the Veteran Re serve Corps, and in order to show that ne cessity I was shoiving that from present in dications the rebel power is to be restored in this country, with Jeff. Davis at its head. Mr. Ross (Ill.) inquired whether his col league bad beard of the late municipal elec tion in Peoria, Illinois?
