THE QUESTION OF PRIVILEGE AGAIN—PHYBICAL FORC E— THE RIGHTS OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA. Mr. Toomes, of G-orgia, was more than usually, olo- quent. He spoke of privilege. He stood on the floor as adofender of the rights of “a mob”—“e mob” who vindicate their rights against the fell spirit of fanati- clsm. “Privilege” had been advocated This question of privilege is tae blackest poge of British history. The question presented is, shell we protest members who nave no rights at Under the Speaker’s decision, every editor may be brought here under assumed privi loges; and Mr. Toombs called upoa every gentleman to stand by, and sustain him in the position he oocupied. The ohair stated the facta. ‘The Spoaker claimed the benefits of the pene of the British Parliament, which do not apply if this is the law of the Houss of Representatives, who made it so? 1 am prepared to staud by the rights ofthe District of Columbia, oven with physical force, when toeir rights are invaded.

THE QUESTION OF PRIVILEGE—THE MENACE OF MEMBERS— THE DEBATE RESUMED —THE NxGRO QUESTION. Messrs Ince and Tosmus made corrections of the re- vorta of thetr remarks in the morning papers. Mr. Stanton, of Tennessee, wes entitled to the floor on the preamble and resolutions of Mr. Palfrey, stating that individuals of the House hed boen menacd by 2 mob. and asking fore select committee to inquire into the facts, etc. He objected to the proposition because it de- signed to do that over whioh the House hed no power The courte are open to any one aggrieved.

He did not understand thet any suggestion as to this fact has been wade, except in the presentation of the amendment it- wlf. ‘The inquiry should not be prei there is no thing to be gained by it, Even if any member should be found guilty, and expelled, the South thereby be weakened, and the other party strengthened.
