arv claim in behalf Of the heirs OF Silas Deane.
and allowed the amount reported by the Commit
tee qualified by All uniinPortant amendment,
In the course Of the debate on the subject a rare
scene was witnessed between Mr.. McRobcrts Of
H. an8 Nc. Perry Smith Of Conn. The Senator
from ILL.,. in the fervor Of his opposition to the
bill, took occasion To indulge in some unbccoming
and harsh reflections upon the memory OF Mr..
Deane and seemed to challenge reply from the ad-
yoca'e. Of the claim. The Senator from Conncc-
,icu,, being thus called upon, promptly sprung to
hi. feet, and hurled back the imputaiicns with
mast laudablc emphasis. and in the rery 6eH
SosOn English. He said he deemed it hi- duty
to inform the Senator ,ha, hs allegations (rePea'
ing thcm) were altogether gratuitous, and unwof
thy the character ard dignity Of the body In the
midst Of this indignant haraugue, The Senator from
III. rudcly interrupted the speaker by eHcia'ming'
III is fnl.e.-it is false" The redoubtablc SEN
a,or from the las, cooy rcjoined, tia not false
have barely repeated your expressions; and If
Won were not a sck man, would soon make you
Dersonally sensible of the truth Of what have
said" Mr. McRobcrts, boiling with wrath AZ
.ured the gentleman from the Gland Of steady
habits" that whenever he should think proper to
make the occasion, he would find him well enough
10 meet the Senator, in any manner and IN any
place The issue Of this unfortunate dispute was
manfes,ly becoming dangerou' and the mutual
friends of the parties felt ttheir duty to inerpo-e
Mr. King and Mr. Benton, by the indulgence OF
the Senate, cxpo,rula,ed with Mr.. Smith, and de-
ploled hi, violation of the proPre,y OF debate ard
attcrnpte !, in the most pofroni.ing manner, to
instruct him az the parliamentary rule on such
occasions. Moreover, they advised him to make
a personal acknowledgement to the Senator from
Illinois, as they feared things might proceed to
fearful crtrem,i s. This dignihed and comrla-
cent admoniou was lost upon the bellicose Sena-
tor from Connecticut, who very calmly observed
that he could perceive the necessity of aPoosnine
10 a gentleman for being abused by him; nor was
Inc very clear the proPrety of the interference
of third party, however accomplished in the rules
Of chiury or Of legislation. And here the matter
stir among the civil authortic. Tomorrow or not,
remains to be seen. He OF Connecticut cortainly
had blood in his eye, aud assure you the Senate
will be most ogreeably DISAPPOINTED if the affair
shall be amcatly al u,ted.
The Senate then proceeded to the consideration
Of Executive business, which, after session of al
hour and half rc'ulted III the rejection o' james
