Mr. S'altonstall hadthe floor, isi Comn

headed "federal tricks, people ci Virginin
be on your guard," states that a. handbill
signed by seven or eight members of the
House. contining a statement of public
expenses." thouit it was circulated .s an
otilicial docnment. Atnotig the sig:ersof

rose to make some Itr;her explanntion onl

Gross vulgarity. and permal violence
were a a common here, every day, as fin

Mr. Wise expressed the hope that the

did not report. ltoagh they' went onar at

It appears that wite rr-p.---wre -wa,

in at excited manner. Mr. Bytin, who,
