the second, composed of all the prin

from our Hoard being too unwiehlv. it
is not as large ns the average Hoards
of the more flourishing and influential
universities of this country, France
and England.
The present Hoard of Trustees is
composed of citizens who are the peers
of any others in Georgia. They have
governed the college well for many
years. And probably no discussion
would have arisen in certain quarters
about church influence if we had. at
the last meeting, eleeted an Episcopa
lian president and one or two more
Episcopal professors; and we would
not, to-day, have heard a word against
their government. Hut the simple
fact that the Hoard concluded to check
the predominance of church influence

Mr. McLean's offensive remarks
were also read as follows: “You are the
only murderer on this floor. You
killed a man in New Orleans.”
Mr. Butler said that as the matter had
now gone into record he desired to say
that if he was a murderer because he
hanged a man in New Orleans, he glo

The Speaker asked him if he was
speaking of any member of the
House.
Mr. Brown—No ; I have called no
names. This man's name was linked
to his crime, and throughout the
world it was known as “ Burking.” If
he was to describe everything ptisil-
lanin.mous in war, inhuman in peace,
forbidden in morals and infamous in
polities he would call it “ Butlerism.”
(•Sensation.)
The Speaker said he did not think
the gentleman had answered in good
faith.
Mr. Ilaie, of New York, then of
fered a resolution that the member
from Kentucky, Mr. John Youn-
Hrown, in thc language Used by him
on thc floor and taken down at tho
desk, in answer to a question of thc
•Sjieakcr, has been guilty of a violat ion
of the privileges of the House, atul
merits the censure of the House, for
violation of the same; and further,
that he be brought to the bar of thc
House by the sergeant at-arms and
publicly censured by the Speaker.
Mr. Dawes, of Massachusetts,
moved to adopt a resolution that Jno.
Young Brown be expelled from the
House for gross violation of its rules,
and for the use on thc floor of the
language just read.
Mr. Hale declined to accept the reso
lotion, and demanded the previous ques
tion.
Mr. Cox to Mr. Hale—There was no
censure and n<> such haste last night
wlu-n yon called a gentleman on this
floor "a dirty dog."
Air. Hale said, “ that's not true."
Mr. Cox -Then I will lie more ilcco-

j remark.

churches present candidates for the

and the -round was also ns distinctly
taken, that, if a man of superior merit

connected with no church whatever,
that lie should lie elected, - as the large
class or’ tax-payers who are not nicm-

gued that the logical sequence of the
jiresent action of Congress was the
withdrawal of all cases from the State
to Federal courts, and the practical
nullification of the State government.
Mr. Brown, of Kentucky, said he
did not proj>o*e to now disciL«s the le
gal aspect of the bill. He hod done
that at the last session. He had
hoped the hill would fail, but it was
manifestly a foregone conclusion, and
that to day’s sun would set upon it as
a law of the land. The history of the
world showed no instance where peace,
harmony, or prosperity followed a
forced equality of races, and especially
the subjection of the intellectual class.

nmnitii-s of American citizens. Hu re-
jieilcd the idea that there was any inten
tion t- make any. Social equality could
never be affected by law. It could only
conic voluntarily, at the will of each
person. It was said this would put m*-
-ioes in the curs. Men were jiut in the
cars w ho were not his associates. There
were many men and women who rode in
ears whom he did not desire for asso
ciates. That was not tlie question at nil.
It was the question as to the common
right <d all to jniblic conveyance. The
provisions of this hill were those of com
mon law. It was made necessary by an
illo-ienl. f-olisli and unjust prejudice on
tlie subject. If the colored man was a
slave this prejudice would not exist.
Mr. Nibiack. of Indiana, interrupting,
called attention to what lie termed the
extraordinary jienalties contained in the
bill, and asked why the damages to be
collected were not made equivalent to
those sustained, a* in other cases?
Mr. Butler asked if lie made that a
leatuie of the hill, would the gentleman
vote for it.
Mr. Nihluek said there would lie no
necessity for the bill, for it wa>. already
the common law.
Mr. Butler said the law now recog
nized their right to go into public inns
or in cars, but amongst colored people.
There was a class of persons who had
taken their wages for n century, and
they did not have much money to
carry on a suit.
Mr. Nibiack said 1 lie expenses of suits
in the United States courts were much
greater than in State courts, and a jmor
man could not afford to appeal to
them.
Mr. Butler continued, defending the
reference of eases under the bill to the
United States rather than the State
courts, on the ground that the State
courts would not accord the colored men
their rights. He said that if banditti,
horse thieves and murderers, who went
itliont at night committing murders,
were in the majority, the government
was wrong.
Mr. McLean, of Texas, asked if he
asserted that a majority of the .South
ern people were horse thieves and
murderers.
Mr Butler—By no means. I said
the minority; that there were certain
men who go about in the night com
mitting murders. Mr. Butler then
yielded the floor to Mr. Lyneh of Miss.,
and the latter was about to commence,
when Mr. Butler said he had not heard
the muttered exclamations of the gen
tlemen from Texas. He was informed
by gentlemen around him that the gen
tleman had said he (Butler), was the
only murderer on this floor. Mr. Bnt-
ler said he desired to remark that if he
uttered that sort of insulting, ungen-
tlemanly and rufHauly lauguage, he
