York. . ! :. '
Mr. Kelly, of Pennsylvania, called
up as a privileged question a motion
submitted by him yesterday to expunge
from the tteoord the speech of Mr. Wheel
er, of Alabama, upon E. M. Stanton
He based his question of privilege on
the oonsoious, ; deliberate, persistent
abuse of the order of the House by the
Representative from the eighth district
of Alabama, in lieu Of the motion made
yesterday, he submitted a resolution re
citing that Mr. Wheeler i had been
guilty of abuse of the order of the
House, inasmuch as his speech had not
been made upon any pension bill and
aecianng mat as me ueuvery oi tne
speeoh was without the sanction of the
House and in contravention of the spe
cial order, the said speech be expunged
from the Record and prohibiting the
puDiio printer rrom puDiisnine it in
pamphlet or other form.
Mr. Reagan, of Texas, raised a point
of order against the resolution. The
a a T
speech had been made by unanimous
onsent of the House and therefore
could not be an offense against .the
House. The speaker replied that it
was not in the province of the ohaif to
decide whether it was an abuse or hot.
It was alleged to be an abuse by; the
gentleman from Pejnnsylvania, ahd the
question was to be decided by 'the
House. Jut. rielly then proceeded to
speak at length and his remarks were
listened to with great attention by: the
House. He was unwilling, he1 said,
that the future readers of the record of
the proceedings of this Congress should
by any possibility be able to suspect
him of having sat by through what
must have involved three hours' listen
ing to slanders which had been
retuted for twenty-five years and many
of which were now absolutely nutres-
cent,on one of the most unselfish patriots
the country ever produced and one: of
the most beloved friends bo had; ever
known in his long life. He was un
willing that he should be suspected of
listening to a paper whioh feebly re
gretted that in a moment of heat its au
thor had denouoed Abraham 1 liinooln
and Edwin M. Stanton as conspirators
and Stanton as an arch-oonspirator
aeainst the character of particular Amer
ican citizens and as computing to thwart
the success of the Union army. He was
unwilling that posterity should be told
through .the Congressional Record that
the Republican party had sat quietly in
the hours of midnight to hear these
slanders on ; Lincoln and 1 Stanton
poured out hour by hour '. and
either ; . Aepublioan
that no man,
or Democrat,
who had : perilled
that must bring pain to his family and
his friends. Mr. Kelly then read slow
ly, and with emphasis, a long letter
dated May 18, 1862, from Stanton to
Rev. Hammond Dyer, a personal friend
of long standing. In opening, Stanton
says: "I have been very well aware of
the calumnies circulated against me in
New York and elsewhere respecting
my relations to General McClellan,
but am compelled, from public
considerations, to; withhold the
proofs that would stamp the falsehood
with the accusations and base motives of
the accusers, who belong to two clasaeb;
1st, Vie plunderers who have been
driven from the department where -they
were gorging millions: 2d, scheming
politicians, whose designs are" endan
gered by an earnest, resolute and Un
compromising prosecution of this war
as ajwsr against rebels and traitors. " He
then makes a statement of the facts; on
he offioial record concerning McClellan's
campaigns, in the course of which he
says McCJlellan never made a request
or expressed a wish that was not
promptly compiled with if in the power
of the government. He concludes his
letter with the following summarv:
"Official records will, at the proper
tune, fully prove: 1st, that I have
employed the whole power of
the government I unsparingly ; to
support McClellan ' operations. 2d,
That I have not interfered with, or
thwarted him in any particular. Sd,
That the force retained from his expCdi-
uon was not neeaea ana could not have
been employed by him; that it was re
tained by the express orders of the
President upon a military investiga
tion and upon the best military advice
in the country: that its retention was
required to save the capital front I the
danger to which H - was exposed by the
disregard of the President's positive
orders of the sixth of March. 5th,
between the President and myself there
never has been the lightest shadow of
jur . .
uiuerence upon any point save me ae
tarhment of Franklin's force, and that
was a point of no significance, but
in which 1 I - was sustained by gen
erals Hitchcock. Thomas and RiDiev.
while the President yielded only
to an anxious desire to avoid complaint,
declaring at the same time his belief
that force was not needed by Gen. Mc
Clellan. You will ef course regard this
explanation as being in the strictest con
fidence, designed only for your infor
mation upon matters where you have
expressed ooncern for me. The confi
dence of yourself and men like you is a
full equivalent for all the railing that has
been or can be expended against toe;
and in the magnitude of the oause : all
merely individual questions are swal
lowed up." The conclusion of the letter
was received with loud applause on the
Republican aide Mr. Kefley then read
a short extract from a letter of Gen.
Grant to show the high opinion which
he (Grant) held of Stanton's character,
and he expressed his surprise that 'the
rattling of the bones of Grant had not
disturbed the conspirators who : had
claimed to have the pjer to rive
unanimous consent to the setting aside
of the special order last imday night
Immediately Mr, Wheeler took the floor
on a privileged question and said that
he wished to correct some statements
which had been made regarding him
hioh were not true. The speaker said
that a mere disagreement between
members as to "the correctness or incor
rectness of what was said did not pre
sent a question of privilege. If the eon
tleman was charged with having corrupt
ly or knowingly made false statements,
or with having made a statement with
the purpose of misleading the Hous. it
did present a Question of privilege. 1 he
course of the remarks made by the gen
tleman from Pennsylvania bad been to
show that the statements made by the
gentleman from Alabama were not cor
rect, but the chair did not remember that
the gentleman from Pennsylvania had
said thai the gentleman from Alabama
had knowingly made a false statement:
Mr. Hepburn, of Iowa, speaking to a
question of privilege, said while he did
y 1 1 1
not oonour in any one particular wun
Mr. Wheeler s remarks, and should at a
proper time reply to them, he objected
to Mr. Kelley's use of the word con
spirator" as applied to those who had
listened to Mr. Wheeler's speech and
maintained that it was perfectly compe
tent for Mr. Wheeler to make it.. He
was not willing to put an indignity on
the gentleman from Alabama, when at
most he had only violated the; good
faith of history and possibly of truth,
but none of the rules or me House
(Laughter.)
Mr. McMillan, of Tennessee, and Mr
Anderson, of Kansas, also denied 'con
spiracy" and maintained Mr. Wheeler's
right to speak ss he did. Mr, Morrison
cut short further discussion by moving
to refer Mr. Kelly's resolution to the
committee on rules. Agreed to; 72
to 52. :
The House then- went into committee
of the whole on the legislative, execu
tive and judicial appropriation bill. The
bill appropriates $20,556,119, against
$21,406,685 appropriation for the cur
rent year. Mr. Holman analyzed the
bill. Reaching the clause making the
appropriation for the civil service com
mis ion, he stated that the amount ap
propriated was the same a that given
for the present fiscal year, $21,400, but
there wis a proviso added requiring
the certification of the entire
list of applications from each State
who hid passed examination. This
requirement, he argued, was not
a change in the existing law, but was
simply a limitation on expenditures of
money. If Mr. Butterworth inquired
whether mis provision did not nullify
the most important provision of the civil
service law, and whether its. object was
not to enable ' the appointing power to
select his partisan friends. Mr. Hoi-
man's answer wafl most emphatically in
the negative. It was, he contended, a
matter of justice to the applicant who
was successful in passing an examina
tion. Mr, E. B. Taylor, of Ohio, in
quired whether the main object of the
provision was not to secure the
ppointment of J more Democrats.
Mr. Holman replied that so far as
motive was concerned he must answer
no. He would say, however, if the
rovision had the incidental result of
increasing the number of Lemocrauo
employers he did not think the gen
tleman ought to complain. He was con
vinced that that ; would be the result.
but his motive was justice to the ap
plicant and justice to the government.
Mr. Findlay, of j Maryland, inquired
whether the object of tne provision was
not to enlarge the scope of choice, for
political purposes. Mr. Holman: "To
enlarge the scope of choice, 1 admit,
but for good purposes and for purposes
of even-handed justice." Mr. Findlay:
"I am opposed to certifying all eligibles
up to an appointing officer. I am in favor
of the administration being carried on
without regard to J honors and without
regard to party. 1
Mr. springer, of Illinois, thought
that before the Republicans accused the
aemocrars oi ; unane partisanship tney
should be willing to divide the classified
service with the Democrats until the
classified pervice was half composed of
Democrats. He thought the gentlemen
on the other side should be silent on the
subject of civil service reform until this
time. The Democratic party would
continue to press this point.
The civil service provision was fur
ther criticised by Messrs. Cannon, of
Illinois, and McComas, of Maryland.
In the course of Mr. MoComas? speeoh a
colloquy occurred: between himself and
Mr. Randall, in. which Mr. Randall
admitted that his admiration for the
oivil service j law had been some
what tempered on account of the regu
lations under which it was executed.
He did not believe that the civil service
law had ever been honestly adminis
tered by the Republican party. The
rule of the commission whioh it was
proposed to change was a rotten branch
on a healthy tree and he wanted to
take an ate and chop it off. The com
mittee rose.
Mr. Oates, of Alabama, from the
committee on judioiary, asked leave to
report back Mr. Edmunds' anti-polyga
my bill, put Mr.r Caine, of Utah, ob
jected. A point was made that a dele
gate had no right to object and the
speaker took the point under advisement.-

Waks Forht, June 8, 1886.
Yesterday and today -the skies have
been overcast with threatening clouds
and the weather exceedingly sultry.
which after much thunder and lightning
culminated in rain last night. How
ever, the weather will not prevent the
proceedings from proceeding, and the
commencement still goes on.
rax collsgx
was instituted January 1st, 1834, and
the manual labor plan adopted, but
after a few years' trial this feature was
abandoned. There was an endowment
on the college of $100,000 before the
war, but during that time all college
exercises were suspended, and the "'old
building, "the only one then in existence,
was used as a hospital. The close of hos
tilities between the States found the
college in dilapidation and financially
bankrupt. But the Baptists of North
Carolina, with a determination char
acteristic of that great denomination,
resolved to ; onoe again make Wake
Forest the peer of any college in the
South. Exercises were resumed in
1866, agents put in the field and another
endowment begun, which up to this
time amounts to $113,000." This money
is invested in 8 per cent mortgage bonds.
Raleigh city bonds, and "Standard oil
company" trusts. The interest from
these invested funds for last year was
U18; from tuition $6,036. . Not a
dollar of the invested fund has ever
been lost since the war, which : proves
the management of this department to
be' in the hands of a master of finanoe.
The attendance of students during the
session just closing was one hundred
and eighty, which equals that r of any
previous session in the history of the
college. Wake Forest has a just right
to expect rrom s me missionary (r .Baptists
of : the State a far larger share of pat
ronage than that which it receives, as
the following i ij
statistics 1
show : White communicants (in State)
112,476, number of churches 1,217,
number of associations 50. There are
in Wake county alone over 5,500 Mis
sionary Baptists. With such a show
ing as the above there is no reason why
this college should not have an attend
ance greater than that of all ; others in
the State combined. Commencement
exercises were opened ;'

Pittsburgh Pa., June 8. The second
day's session of the International Typo
graphical Union was opened at 9 o'clock
this morning by, president Witter.
Among those present was Congressman
John B. Farquhar, of Buffalo, an ex
president, who was invited to a seat on
the platform. He made a short ad
dress, in which he took strong grounds
against uniting with the Knights of
Labor, although he said he was not hos
tile to that organization. Mr. Witter
in reply said mere was only a small
fraction of the printers who were in
favor of such a move. The election of
