S trong word TO use, in relation to the double
duty that is so often performed by Mr.. r. In
| / be haste necessary for condemnation of the
| p roceedings OF both houses, in time to go to
4 ress the same afternoon, ii is difficult always
! 10 weigh ones words, while, at the same time,
! II lie reporter admits that he had in his minds
e We, the remembrances Of other times and other
congresses; when such extra and double duty
" as performed cheeriully and ably, and with
o ut ostentaton, for many weeks by Mr.. H.,
d uring the prolonged absence of the Rev. Mr.
N Iaffit. He means the 9th Congress. No
Il ing was further from the thoughts of the
re porter, than to cast censure on any one for
d. .rilection Of duty, and he had no idea, that
al lything, other than strong necessity, prevent
LED both chaplains from officiating as contem-
pl ated

pc by correspondent who lbelled the per
SO nal habits Of Mr.. S.


Mr.. Brinkerhof moved to expel the report
er Of the Tribune from the Hall.

Tor veracity, without censure even.

! urther discussion, was taken, and adopted, by
