Mr. WENTWORTH. Now, Mr. Speaker, we are passing by this subject, we are passing by the gentleman who introduced this letter to censure him. Does anyone suppose that the Gentfrom Maine when he introduced it did not know for what purpose it was written? What testimony is before the committee that GenlFry himself knew it was to come here? But so far as he is concerned that does not affect the odium attached to him for sending it here, or to others who gave it to the Gentfrom Maine. But the oint I object to is, that the Gentfrom raw York should bring down upon the head of this officer whose character has stood up to this time without reproach, one of the most gallant men we ever had in the Army, whose integrity and honor have always been sustained until this committee made this report; and now the whole of the odium of sendin a letter here is to be attributed to him, when I think it belongs somewhere else. I have several times during this session felt it to be y duty to call gentlemen to order for impugning the motives of other members. I always differed in this respect with the Chair. It would make an easy berth for The SPEAKER, according to his decision, that a member who had consent to make a personal exlanation could go on and say what he please, and we would have to sit here and watch him. I am satisfied, since The SPEAKER delivered his recentopinion, that he is right in aparliamentary point of view. Hereafter, if anybody on this floor undertakes to make a personal attack on another, I shall feel bound to call him to order at once. Had we done this when the Gentfrom Maine imputed bad motives to the Gentfrom NewYork, we would have saved ourselves in the House all this trouble and mortification. When such a contest has once begun, it is the bounden duty of some one member to rise upon the floor and demand that it shall be stopped. I hepe, Mr. Spea or that some one will feel it to be his duty, ifhc knows anythin against GenlFry, to prefer the charges an let him be tried by the proper tribunal. If he sent that letter here, if he designed it to be sent here against a member of this House, I am willing to go as far as any other member of the House to fix the proper censure upon him. Should it appear, however, that he did not intend to have that letter presented to the House, then, so far as the rerogatives of the House are concerned, it a ters the case very materially. I agree with the Gentfrom Pennsylvania, [Ma STEvEss] if there be anything against GenlFry, let charges be filed a inst him and let him be tried by a military tribunal. He is out of the House; there is no one here to advocate his cause. No one knows what he has to say. We have no explanation why he sent that letter here. As he did send the letter here, I am willing, to that extent, to agree to the report of the committee. But then there is the member who had the letter read from the Clerk’s desk. When he sent it up to be read he virtually indorsed it. What are we to do with him?
