DEI
COI:NELL, of Philadelphia, rose
lot privileged question, mod read an ed
itorial in the PITTICHOGII GAZ.L7ITS Of
yesterday,' edited by Mr. E, B. Permit
man, charging him with introducing a
bill for the inspection of oil for the lour
pine.of creating an office for his own
benefit, and that Governor Geary had
promised to appoint him to tke place.
Mr. Connell denounced these charges es
false and entirely without foundation.
He had never thought nr oven dreamed
of applying for the place, and had no in
terest In the bill other thad ouch ae any
representative should feel to protect the
lives of his constituents frees accidents;
arising from the use of adulterated. oils.
He had allowed the Allegheny Senators
ample time is examine the bill, and had
amended it so as to suit • the TIONTO of
their conatitnents. Mr. Penniman was
responsible for this, and he would bold
him responsible. •
Mr. ERRETT, of Allegheny, said that
while the name of Mr. Penniman ap -
peared as the editor of the Gaztrre., he
could not possibly have written an' arti
cle so untrue and so utterly unjuitifia
ble. It was prob a bly the work of some
• subordicats. Mr:Penniman know, as
every intelligent man in the State, that
Mr. Connell was not constitutionally
sdigiblis to any ogles' created daring his
term as Senator.
Mr. ERRETT said he bOre willing and
cheerful testimony to the fact that Mr.
Connell postponed the bill at his re
quest until the oil men of Alleghe.iy
could be heard from, end consented to
put in every amendment they sug,rested
so as to make the bill aeosptible to every
one interested. • •
Mr. LOWRY, of Erie, said that the
Pittsburgh newspapers were known to
be "common scolds." For seven years
he ,had been a Senator, and voted for
the measures Pithiburgh papers wanted
him to vote for, bat he never received
anything in return but the whip across
the fees. They keep at Horriebarg . a set
of vii RS who write 'these articles,
thinkiug they could compel honest men
to take off theirhats to them or pay them.
He charged them with keeping in these
halls a set of blackguards. They ought
to all home their dogs.
Mr. WALLACE, of Clearfleld, also
been abused, and he was glad the Sort',
tors were nailing these falsehoods.
Mr. FISHER, of Lancaster, gave no
tice that he would hold those dabs of
editors, reporters and correspondents
who-dellbarately lied about him to a per
*onal account.
Mr. RIDOERFAZ of T'hlLsdelphia,
did not obJect to them lying, only that
they didn't tell the whole truth.
Mr. SEARIGHT. of Fayette, said edi
tor& ought to be cautious; not publish
semndiens but facts- .
