ply to some misinterpretations of Mr.
Barker's, and would take but little of the time which they so much
needed for business. After commencing, however, with Bible in hand, he
launched out into an irrelevant eulogium upon "his Christ," etc.; from
that to personalities against Mr. Barker and his associates upon the
platform, calling him a "renegade priest," "an infidel from foreign
shores, who had come to teach Americans Christianity!"

Mr. GARRISON rose to a point of order, with regard to the
speaker's personalities as to the nativity of anybody.

Dr. NEVIN retorted: The gentleman has been making personalities
against the whole priesthood.

Mr. BARKER: I expressly and explicitly made exceptions. I only
wish that Mr. Nevin may not base his remarks upon a phantom.

Dr. NEVIN continued wandering on for some time, when Stephen S.

question before us, is whether woman is entitled to all the
rights to which the other sex is entitled. I want to say, that
the friend is neither speaking to the general question, nor
replying to Mr. Barker." Mr. Foster continued his remarks

Mr. FOSTER said he would not appeal to the house from the
decision of the Chair, because he wished to save time. He
continued a moment longer, and sat down.

Dr. NEVIN proceeded, and in the course of his remarks drew
various unauthorized inferences, as the belief of Mr. Barker, in
the doctrines of Christ. Mr. Barker repeatedly corrected him, but
Dr. Kevin very ingeniously continued to reaffirm them in another
shape. Finally, Mr. Garrison, in his seat, addressing the
President, said: "It is utterly useless to attempt to correct the
individual. He is manifestly here in the spirit of a blackguard
and rowdy." (A storm of hisses and cries of "down!" "down!")

Dr. NEVIN: I am sorry friend Garrison has thought fit to use
those words. He has been in scenes and situations like these, and
has himself stood up and spoken in opposition to the opinions of
audiences, too often not to have by this time been taught
patience.

Mrs. CLARK: Mr. Garrison is accustom
