 ln the House of Representative to-day the resolu- ton offered yesterday by Mr. Chiion relative to the redacuon of the establishment West Pont came up for discussion matter of course, Mir. Chiffon be- ing arrested in his remarks by the expiration ofthe hour. Mir. Chiffon occupied the floor to-day Ior a. bout twenty minutes the sulec; of his resolution denouneng the system OfappOInng only the cadets of West Point the army, and excluding all those from Capt. Partridge's Academy. He described the West Point Academy, ''an incubus hanging us,suck- ing the Treasury" As soon as ae came to a close, Mr. Stewart of Penn. rose and after stating that there about l82 bills the House be acted upon, and expressing his opinion that the propositions of Mir. C. had already consumed his full share of the public time moved to lay the resolution on the table. The ques- ton was put and carried, and really believe that half dozen voices responded inthe negative.
 Mir. Chiffon is a man of tolerable exterior, and may boast of having of the qualifications of an OruOr the highest perection--and tha s seif-confdence.- Nothing disconcertno hing to interrupt him. He thinks of nothing but his moto, the effect it will have at home and the best meaCs by which u may be obtained. He appears to act uniformly from the aided impulses of his own mind scornng all concert, advice, consultation. Here s that he has Ofend- ed his partizans, who appear much more dispO- sed to denounce than to support hm. believe, how that he Is well meaning nan, and that he acts as correctly as his prejudices wii permit him.
 After the resolutions were disposed of, the House proceeded to the consideration of private bils several of which were passed through tle Committee of the Whole. The bill for the relief of R chard w. Meade, which is well known as having been before Congress for several sessions, and involving very large sum l of money was then takenup. Mir. Everett as Chair man of the Committee onForeign Relations, by whom the Bill reported, explained the character of the claim. Mr. Polk of Tennessee, spoke against it, be- ing of opinion that the Spanish Government ought te pay it, and that the American Government was dis charged from it. He was followed by Mr. P. P. Bar bour, who seemed to be inclined to oppose the bill | but who had not had sufficient time to examine the bill, he wished for the time, and his motion the Committee accordingly rose and reported progress and obtained leave to sit again upon the bill.
