States has directed me to say that he has
signed"-[a at this word there was
hard breathing among the Audiencel the
bill making appropriation for the placing
Of The statue oiWash;ngton in the Roiun-
da. The veto people here began 10 feel
easy again. Tie veto itself then came
in all It's glOries or 'errOrs, just as il was
seen by the different parties. 1t was
read by the Clerk, and the greatest
decorum was observed by the spectators.
A motion was then agreed to, ordering
the printing Of the usual number Of CO.
pies, and that the "vetO" be considered |
at twelve tomorrow.
The BATTLE.-The House then resol-
we'd itself into committee of the whole,
aud took up the bill providing for the sal
aries Ofonr ForeignMinsters. But scarce
| ly had the House got into committee than
it got out again by something like gen
eral battle Of fislicuffs among the honora-
BILE representatives Of the people. Hear
how it was.
The question pending was on the am
endment of the Senate, cutting off the ap-
preparation for Charge d'Afaires to
Naples.
After some debate, Mr.. Stanly took the
floor and made some obiectional remarks
relating to the course Of Mr. Wise on
proposition at the last session for minis
ter to Mexico.
Mr.. Wise didn't exactly relish it; so he
went round TO the quarters of Mr. Stanly,
as he says, TO remonstrate. Ii appears
that Mr.. S. misloOk the spirit Of the re-
monstrance, for he called Mr.. Wise a"li-
ar" ...... .....
MI. Wise, as most people are apt to do
under such circumstances, raised his fist
} and struck Mr.. Stanly blow. The par
J lies then closed upon each other. Here
the whole House, as it were, made for
the spot, andso far as the belligerents con-
cerned, all further operations were sus-
pended, for they we're prevented from ap-
PrOachng each other. But The battle
| went on among the mediators. Some
r wanted the two gentlemen to fight il out,
+ and others wanted to preserve the dlgni-
o ~ of the House. 1t was one universal
J. uproar. The Chairman of the commit.
8 lee left the chair, and Mr.. Speaker White
!, took il. He Numbered with his mace in
% the most energetic manner, and shouted
y at the top of his voice, "Order, order"-
But il was like calling a tempest TO order
for The fight and struggle continued. :
Some members had others by the throalt
aud Gains were raised in the fray. II is
we'll that the pistols we're not used. The
, EIon. Dixon H. Lewis was among them
doing all he could to restore peace. He
y looked like a good-natured elephant en-
= deavoring to part enraged tigers.
The Sergeant at arms took the mace
= and in the name ofthe U. s., forced and
6 ordered the still refractory members into
s obedience. So after while The storm
was hUShed and the elemsniS of dlscord
at something like tranquility. The fght
lasted about four minutes.
= Mr.. Wise made an apology TO the
House for what he had done in the heat
of The moment, in having struck Mr.SIan

y never submit to that word any where
Q lie had struck the member for that word
in moment Of excitement, so he mos
: smcsrely begged pardon Of the House
