Mr. CONKLlNG. Under the rules the words objected to should have been taken down at the time, and the point of order comes now too late. One who makes such points of order should be more careful how he makes them. It is not my disposition, Mr. Speaker, to engage in personal controversy upon this flog; but when any member forgets himself so tar as to impute unworthy motives and resentments to me, when my motives and resentments are wholly foreign to the matter before the House, he must expect a rebull; and when he asserts offensively that I have had personal uarrals with a person whose administration an public acts are under consideration, and that have been worsted in these quarrels, and that, too, before the SecyWar and by the SecyWar, and when that statement has no foundation in fact, I think the Chair and the House will agree with me that something it to be pardoned to the earnestness of the occason. I said what I felt bound to say, speaking not only for my own constituents, but for dher constituencies in NewYork whose Representatives hear me. I could not remain silentwhen I know that in my own district and elsewhere men who stood up honestly and attemyted to resist “bounty jumpers” and thieve were stricken down and trodden under footly GenlFry. I affirm that the only way O acquit him of venafity is to convict him of lhe most ineredibleincom eteucy. Iain respasxble for that, sir, everyw ere. I have had ntsuchpersonal quarrel with GenlFry, limousines has been asserted. I never chancedtO 598him but once, unless I have forgotten it and when the gentleman rises here and makes a charge of that kind, with the insinuation by Witch he accompanies it, his conduct calls to some plainness of speech and so, usin psrliaments language, I reiterate that t statement which was made is erroneous std destl tute of that which it should osses in order to render it admissible in de ate. believe that is parliamentary, even if the (1191form was not. New, sir, I want to say a words bout this letter.
