utmost confusion pre at times at 10 p m whyte said cockrell being ih tho chair As chere seems no end to this filibustering bu I move to a lost at aill said lie had taken no part in the proceedings tonight to night lie the misunderstanding and thought the gentleman entitled to the floor mr conkling should be allowed to go on in the morning with out limitation with the kindest feelings for both aide he moved to adjourn lost at 1130 pm tha situation was uh changed and no intention to compromise was shown on either side an occasional motion to direct the sergeant at arms to summon absentees led to running discussions of tbt rules hereford said that under the rulings of the chair the thing would continue to go round and round all night conkling it i a revolution laughter hereford yes you are engaged in a and we are trying to get out of it burnside if it is in order I will ask why we stay berei the presiding officer the chair is unable tb answer that question laughter conkling having charged the other side with bad faith in not allowing the time taken by the mississippi river commission bill this morning to be allowed in the debate on the army bill lamar said that as far as any intimation of bad faith to him was concerned he had lived in vain if he was not superior to such a charge from such a source it is not my habit to indulge in personalities but I desire to say to the senator that in intimating anything inconsistent or untrue as he has has done with perfect good faith I pronounce hia statement a falsehood which I repel with nn unmitigated contempt which I feel for the author of it president I was diverted during the commencement of the remarks tha culmination of which I heard from the member from mississippi if I understood the member right he intended did in plain and language imputed to me an intentional misstatement pausing the senator does not disclaim that lamar I will state what I intended sir so there can be mistake the presiding officer cockrell called lamar to order and conkling proceeded whether I am willing to respond to the member irsai mississippi depends entirely upon what that intends to say and what he did say and for the time being I do not choose to hold any communication muni cation with him I understood the senator to state in plain lia language that a statement of mine to which he refers was a if I caught his words aright I have only to say this not being the place to measure with any man ane capacity to violate to violate the rules of the senate or to commit any of the improprieties of life I have only to say that if the senator the member from mississippi did impute or intended to impute i to me ft nothing the fact that this is the senate would prevent my pronouncing him a lilack guard and a coward applause and hisses let me be more precise mr president should the memoir from mississippi except in the of the senate charge me by intimation or otherwise with falsehood I should denounce him as a blackguard and as a coward and a liar the rules and the proprieties of the senate are the only restraint upon me I do not think I need say anything else mr president applause and hisses the chair demanded quiet in the galleries lamart lamar t hav othil to say senator from new york understood roe correctly I did intend so to say just precisely the words and all that they imported I beg the pardon of the senate
