Mr. Black roso and commenced a pcrsonal
and abusivc attack upon Giddings.
Slr. Giddincs renlied to 5Ir. Black in a
manner about as personal as ftlr. Black had
made the attack. He called the attack oftbo
member a low and dirty lirade.
Mr. Black rejoined after the Committen
had been confused for a long time upon
points oforder, and pronounced Mr. Gid
ding'ssatemcnts"marvellou9stories," "slan
ous falsifier," &c. Besides this, Ianguageof
the most indcccnt kind was uscd. thc excuse
being that tliere were no ladies in the gal
