me; and IL the members Of tha House had not
interiered, would have given him the severe
punishment which he deserves for his insolence.
MIR. lngersoll rose and offered the following
resolution:
Resolved, That special committee be appoin-
ted to inquire into the circumstances Of the rem
contre on the floor Of this House between Mr..
Wise and Mr.. Stanly, members OF this House,
and to report thereon to the House.
Mr.. Andrews Of Ky. opposed tho motion. as
not likely to lead to the vndicaton of the digni,
ty of the House, but that it would be Il mere
whito-washing aflair-a mere humbug, such as
we had had heretofore. He moved the en-
pulsion of Henry A. Wise. But his proposition
was voted down, and that Of MIR. Ingersoll adop-
ted.
The amendment Of the Senate in relation to the
Neapolitan mission was then disagreed to.
In SENATE, SEPT. lO.-The bill making appro-
priations for diplomatic agents being under con-
sideration the Senate receded from its amendment
striking out the Neapolitan mission. A joint re-
solution was sent from the House proposing Mon
day at III o'clock for an adjournment of the two
Houses. Mr.. Preston proposed to amend the re-
solution Of the House by adopting resolution
that Congress ought not to adjourn without pro-
viding for the safekeeping of the public revenue.
He said it was clear that no National Bank could
he had while Mr.. Tyler was President. Two
bills had been passed, both of which he had We
toed. He had commended always against giving
the President the control of tho public purse, as
he now had the control Of it, and he was not for
adjourning without the adoption Of some system
for its safe-keeping. Mr.. Buchanan rejoiced to
hoar ~ all Of nopt /, onb d,f
ter some remarks by MIR Walker on the rottenness
of the State bank system, the subject was laid on
the table.
In the House, the select committee on the al
fair between Mcssrs. Wise aud Stanly, was an
nounced, consisting of Messrs lngersol, Ferris,
Satonstall, Everett, Caruthers, Morrow, and
Holmes.
The order Of the day, being the Veto Message,
coming up, Mr.. Bolts delivered his views at large
upon it, in keen and dissecting speech, which
will be given hereafter. He was replied to by
Mr.. Gilmer, who, in the course of his remarks,
alluded to the terms of a certain bet made by Mr..
Bolts. This called forth some personal remarks,
which Mr.. Gilmer said he would not hear, but
which Mr.. Bolts told him he must. The difficulty.
however, was soon happily settled by the inter-
ventlon of the representative of this district, MIR.
Stuart, and the fact reported to the House. Sc
veral other members also delivered their views on
the Veto Message-whcn the vote was taken on
the passage of the bill, the Presidents objections
notwithstanding, ayes 1903, noes $3.50 it was
lost, two-thirds not voting for it.
The difficulty between Mr.. Wise and Mr..
Stan!y was reported to the House settled.
Congress adjourned on Saturday, having pass
ed the Revenue and all other bills before it.
