WASHINGTON, Sept. IL, 1887, 2. P. n.
The first gun has been fired in the Senate The
great American financier Wright, from the packed
committee on money affairs, has reported bill 10
postpone the transfer Of the fourth insfaiment OF me
u the act Of June, 1886, until further provision Tor
the payment of the same shall be made by Congress
The bill passed TO a second reading. Mr. wright
promised that this bill only in part report from
the finance committee the recommendations OF the
President.
Mr. Calhoun hoped that this bill would be laid over
till the committee had reported in full. However
widely different the difficulties under which the
country was laboring is well known that they all
sprang from one common source. he would know
then the full extent to which the committee proposed
= Co in their measures for the relief of the nation
Justice required that should exercise great care in
eur legislation on the all important subject now aga-
ing the public mind.
Mr.. Webster agreed with the gentleman from S.
Carolina. As one Of the finance committee, he re-
GREETED he could not agree with the majority of the
proposed measures of relief. As resident in a COM
aercia and manufacturing region Of the country, he
prepared say that the dstresses of the great
interests be represented, wereunparaleled. He could
say the of the other great interests of the coun
other gentlemen. He rose merely to urge that time
be given 10 the committee to report their measures
;n toto. He should not throw any obstacles in their
way. He would content himself merely by stating,
IN his place. briefly his dissent to their propositions for
the relief of the public distress, and give his
therefor. The cure was in the hands of gentlemen
favorable to the administration. They had the ma
Ionty and he anxious to see an early decision by
the majorites in both bodies upon the schemes Of re-
lief they might propose Herepeated, he would form
no bar to their action upon the questions they might
submit The responsibility was with them, and he
williAg they should use it.
There-what think you OF that! Here is total
disclaimer on the part of Mr. Webster ofinterference
in the movements of the party. II the opposition
will only give them rope enough they hang them
selves.

friends of Mr. Calhoun speak Of the message IN terms
of more approbaon and to day, it is currently re-

The rumoT that Mr.. Calhoun has expressed him.

great sensation in this city and already given rise to
variety of speculation. We have no session to-day,

letter 10 a close with the mention Of another rumored

says Metropolitan political gossip; say nothing.
SEpr. l0.-Wiihin the last few days, we have come
well nigh having duel the parties TO which, had they
met, would have been the Honorable y. II. Ghoson OF
Mississippi, and Col. James Watson Webb, OF the
New York Courier and Enquirer.
The whole history of the affair, IS comprised IN
few words. On Tuesday last whilst the election OF
public printer was before the House, Mr.. Wise OF
Virginia made an assault on the administration MEM
bers, and charged them with being collared; with
having been marked and numbered; = and in the
same breath asserted that the Press OF the country
not independent but had been brlbed and bought
UP by the administration. Whilst throwing OH this
ebullition of invectve he certainly displayed much
virulencc
When he had taken his seat, Mr.. Gholson of Mis-
sssipp, rose to reply. He defended the adminisra-
ton and in doing so, replied TO the remarks of Mr.
Wise by referring to the celebrated loan made by
the Bank of the United States TO Messrs Noah and
Webb which he urged was an evidence OF the cor
rsption of the opposition.
IL 30 happened however that Mr.. Webb, who was
in Washington was not then in the House, but when
he was informed that Mr.. Gbolson had referred to
him. he addressed note to that gentleman couched
IN very irritable terms To this Mr.. Gholson replied
IN note which was not couched in the most pacific
language the substance OF which was, that he con-
sidered the note of Mr.. Webb, a species of black
guardsm unworthy of his notice; still if any excep-
tons were taken at what he had said in debate, by
any cEsTLEMAS, he Mr.. Gholson, would waive any
and all privileges he might possess as member OF
Congress- and would afford the most prompt and
udc0u1fe satisfaction To this response, Gel Webb,
