Mr. BOUTWELL. I did not hear the remarks of the Gentfrom Kentucky [Mr. His E] when he was making his explanation to the House, nor did I know what he had said until the words were reported from the Clerk's desk. Icertainly should not have felt particularly aggrieved by the remarks which the gentleman made. I myself indulge in great frankness of expression about measures, and sometimes about men; and no doubt I am oftentimes under the necessity of soliciting the charity of others to put the most favorable construction upon what I may say; and I am always disposed to put a similar construction upon what is said by others. I trust the Gentfrom Ohio [Mr. SchENck] will not press this matter upon the round of any personal regard which I know E. entertains for myself. If he supposes that the course of remarks of the Gentfrom Kentucky in any way infringes the rights of a majority of the House, that is a question with which ohave no more concern than any other member of this House. The House will win dicate its own rights and privileges of course. Now, I desire to make a remark a little out side of this present matter, which is somewhat personal. The ComJudiciary commenced reporting this morning. It has but 2 hours of the time of the House now, and will probably have no more of the time"of the House during this session. It had several important measures which it desired to report. to have passed, if such should be the judgment of the House. Our friends on the other side of the House I think ought to consider, when they express the idea that we exercise some tyranny in pressing these measures, that we have only 2 hours atour command for the purpose of bringing before this body, and soliciting its favorable action upon them, all the measures which have been submitted to the ComJudiciary. Now, if we allow gentleman to indulge in great latitude of discussion, the business of the House, so far as it is in the hands of the ComJudiciary, would soon be at an end. I think that ought to be a reason why a member of the ComJudiciary reporting a measure should be excused from the charge of exercising any tyrannical force over the minority.
