have been acquired by many years hard labor in the
public service-risng at rise-keeping the public
peacs-putng down riots, and preserving the city from
the manifold attempts of burglars, house breakers

be agreed upon TO any of the present efficient
Police Department, who ought to succeed them? Who

sheet of clustering mpudence takes occasion to set forth
the wses dlscretest best-as the very cream that

SCENES IN THE HOUSE OF REPREsExrArIvEs-We
do not know any news interesting at this moment
than the various and opposite descriptions of the recent
scenes in the House of Representatives, in which John
q. Adams and others figured so largely. We annex
the following extracts from several letter writers
Mr.. Adams now resumed the floor, and commenced
speech which for eoquence and bitter sarcasm and
bitterer reproach and indignant reputation Of" charges
preferred by the Senate" as he called them
be excelled.
His speech was reply to that of Mr.. Webster, deli

the Halls of the American Congress. Order at last
being restored Mr.. Adams proceeded, and denounced
all who concerned in the defeat of the Ferti6ca-
ton bill of 1884, whilst he auded and eogised General
Jackson!
After he had finished, the floor was taken by Mr..
