WASHINGTON. Sent. d. 1875.

| WASHINGTON, Sept. 81, 1875.
The House yesterday morning was tho
scene of disgracoful proceedings. | told
You in my last that Mr. Gholson had at
tackled Mr. Wise in the most VIOLENT manner.
Every body regarded the move as personal
one with avowed object of inducing w. to
challenge him. Mr. w. answered the gen.
tleman yesterday; after vinIicating his
course and that OF Mr.. Pcyton, he said-"If
| the gentleman means - say that the CON
duct Of Mr. Peyton or myself was Disgrace
tul in the Investigating Committee | give
him the lie,-aye the lie from the very
lotion of my lungs" "Mr .Gholson said
thai Mr. Wise might take his remarks either
reasonably or publicly, that he could suit
hi n'elE" And then he commenced
speech Of the lowest abuse against the Viz
ginian. In the course Of that speech, Mr.
Gholson said that the majority Of the Banks
in Mississippi was managed by Wings and
that if any body was bought up in that State
it was by the Banks and not by the admin
stration. The general tenor of Mr. G's. re-
marks was opposed to the Banks. After some
remarks from Mr. LOOMS, of New York, the
House passed to the orders of the day

Murder and Robbery On Monday night
last between the hours of | | and 3 o'clock, n
most inhuman murder was committed in the
county of Simpson, attended with the rob-
berry of a large amount of money.
Mr. Samuel BrOirn, aged 96 years, and
his partner aged 81, had retired that night,
us usual, to repose, shielded by the respect
due to age and the law of the land. During
the night some unknown Williams entered the
house, took them from their bed into the
piazza, and most inhumanly tOmahawked
and murdered them. They next proceed
ed to murder all the negroes they could
find, but succeeded in DESTROYING only three,
whom they afterwards burnt; Two negro
women and eight or ten children escaped
to spread the intelligence of the sad catas-
trophe.
Mr.. Brown had from seven to ten thou.
sand dollars in specie in the house, which
he had lately procured some younger per-
sons to count over for him; also consider
able amount in Bank Notes. The former
was all stolen and the latter left. The
sconndrels were anxious to leave no clue
by which they may be traced. Bat an in
censci community is awake and on the
alcrt-SuSplcon, We are told, is fixed
varlousIy. Some think the occurrence
is due to the famous Murel clan, others
attribute it to others. We know nothing;
but trust that deeds which scarcely have
a parallel in the black catalogue of crime
may be traced to the real actors, and con
dgn Vengeance overtake them.

Florida Wharf.-The debate which We
give to-day on the resolution offered hv Mr..
Wise, for the appointment Of a Select Com
mittoc to inquire into the causes of the fail
ure the Florida War, will be read with
interest. From the gIimpses therein afford
ed, OF the abuses connected with that war,
and the character of its causes, the reader
may form some idea of the features which
will strike his vision, when the whole dark
canvass shall be uncovered to view, in all
It's revolving proportions. From the few
facts casually turned up in this debate, it
would seem that, if there be one subject, or
branch Of our public concerns, which, more
than all others, requires Investigation, it is
that OF the Florida war. "Sevcn thousand
dollars tor forty cords of wood" Here is
a noble sample of management, indeed.
An admirable illustration of the general
conduct of this Florida war.
Bat the worst feature yet disclosed, of the
mode anI manner of conducting this war, is
that which procIaims that an agreement
made between one Of our commanding zen
erals, and chief of the red men. with n
view to securing the services of the latter.
was, after those services were thus secured,
deliberately violated on our part. What a
lesson of civilized faith and honesty to teach
