The Record purports to be an account of the previous day's proceedings, but members frequently withhold their addresses in order to secure a good position for them at a later date and the publication runs for several weeks after the legislature has adjourned. Formerly the literal reporting of speeches in the Congressional Record was considered a matter of much greater importance than it now is and one of the many exciting incidents connected with Con- gress turned upon this point. One day in Ap...ril, 1860, Roger Pryor, of Virginia, taxed a member from Wisconsin, named Potter, with making changes in the record of a speech delivered by the latter on the floor of the House. The accusation led to a spirited dialogue between the two in the House and to a subsequent challenge by Pryor. Potter accepted and named bowie knives as the weapons.

Potter CONGRESS AND THE SUPREME COURT. 3T3 rejoined that in his opinion, the whole system of duelling was barbarous and inhuman but, if he was to be forced into a fight, he proposed to place himself on equal terms with his adversary.
