A FEW PLAIX PACTS. Connolly anid it was strange that so aimple a right as that of entering their protest should be denied, Objection had boon mado to the language of tho protost, that it was disrespcciful. Yot on tho floor of this Houao, only a fow dayo sinco, the mom- ber from Kauoe had cliaracterizod another 28 un- wortby the respect of any member, asa villigy, and had appliod to him all the opithols ho could think of iu hie heat. Was that lsngnage re- epectful, and the languago of this protest disro- spootful 2 % In concluaion, Connolly admonished mambers that this Iluuee coutd not suppresy thisrocital of the nrongs perpetiated hore, It wouid go forth to tho peop!lo of tha Btato—thoss who made and unmade logislators; it would bo road trom ona cnd of the State to the other.

At the coucluslon of Contolly’s speoch, Lan- drigan, vorv pala and trembling with rago, moved towurd Connolly's derk, and esid that he un- derstood lum (Connolly) to say that the gonfle- man from Kauo, the other dsy, lind app.acd tn hium tho opithot villain, 1l (ledllylln) had nut a0 underscood the gontleman from kane (iler- rington), and wanted now to ask that gontloman if Lo a1l ured such language, Connoily #ald he ind not undertaken to guoto tho langunme of Ierringion; couldn't if ho tried, Iiut that did oot satisfy Landrigan. Ile 1nsistad on an answer from Herrington, Hauines undertook to restore ordor, but Landri- gan gave notico that o was able to defond him- welf, and that he should do g0, and that the Chair oven should not deny him ihat right. ITo wanted this matter disposed of now. Ifatnes—Doos tho gontlemna from Edwards seck a controvorsy with the Chair? Landrigao—No, but I want tbis mattor settled now. Finally Merington coolly advanced to within & fow stors of Landrigan and aaid ?,un you ssy 1a nmot meant to Intimidpte ma ?" Landrigan—No, Herrivgton—** \Well, then, as therois no at- tompt a} intimidation, I will say 1 aid not use that term,” nnd with tuat ended the prospect of & lively scrimmago, and moro discuesion of Cone uolly's motiou for entering tho protest on tho 1ocord was resumed, After furthor dobate, o motion to adjourn to 8 o'clazls was made, whorenpon s majority of the Opposition membors boltod, While the balt was iv vrogross o motion to adjourn was masde and lost.
