WASHINGTON, May D.
SENATE.-Thc Senate were in ses-
sion Until six o'clock, and passed Tie
Civil and Diplomatic Bill before the
adjournment.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,.
The House met at eleven o'clock.
Mr.. Giddings Of Ohio appeared at
the bar of the House, was qualified
and took his seat.
The Secretary of the Senate then
appeared at the bar OF the House,
and reported the Civil and Diplomat
ic Bill which had passed the Senate
last night. The amendments to the
Bill were first read.
Mr.. Fillmore, Chairman Of the
Committee Of Ways and Means, said
that it must be obvious to the House
that the amendments adopted in the
Senate, were SO many and so impor-
tant that the Bill would nave to be re-
committed to the Committee Of the
Whole, and to the Committee o!
Ways and Means.
The Bill was then referred to the
Committee Of Ways and Means.
Mr.. Habersham OF Georgia, from
the minority Of the Committee on
Manufactures, presented u report
from the minority members, and NOV
ed the printing Of five thousand ex-
ira copies of the Report and Bill
The order TO print has been carried
in advance.
Mr.. Saltons:all said it was unusu-
al for a minority to report so many
weeks after q minority had presented
their Report. lie had no objections
to the printing Of the extra Capies,
but should not consent that the Tariff
Bill should be delayed. He should
call upon the House to act upon this
subject early noXt week. The act
of 1888, would be in force on the
3Oth Of June, and there would be no
time to set on this subject unless it
was speedily brought up. The de-
lay OF the minority TO make their Re-
port for five weeks ought not to de-
lay the action Of the House.
The subject then passed from the
House.
Mr.. Kennedy of Nd. asked the
House TO allow him to present a reso-
luton in relation 10 the Tariff.
Refused.

Louis Philippe has been unwell:
but had resumed his usual habits.
IRELANp.-The troubles in Ireland,
arising principally from the scarcity
Of provisions, the want of employ
ment. and the disatlection with the
government, were every day as>um-
inc a more alarming aspect. Muir,
dcIs, robberics, and other outrages
upon the laws, were of frequent &C.
currence-all showing a IaXiiy of
mora! restraint. and Il desperate de
termination not to obey the beh, SIS
of tory rule. The complaint was,
that the government did not contem-
plate doing any thing for Ireland.

MIR. Underwood, OF Kentucky,
was entitled to the floor upon this
subject, and opposed the motion to
print the documents upon the ground
of the great expense which would
be incurred. and for other reasons.-
Mr.. Underwoods spoke at grcatlength,
denying the power Of the President
to institute the commission, contend
ing that it was irregular, and that
the reports should not be received,
sanctioned. or touched in any manner
whatever.
The most exciting scene OF the
session followed, being some hard
words between MeSsrS. Stanly and
Wise.
Mr.. Stanly addressed the commit
Tee in vindicalion of the u Of the
Committee on Public Expenditures in
procuring the publication of the docu-
mcn;s which embodied the report of
Mr.. Poindexter.
Mr.. Wise had spoke Of the COM
mittee as DIGGING the Secretary OF
the Treasury 10 get tine report iron
him.
Mr.. Stahly, in reply, referred to
the memorable investigating Commit.
tee in the cas- of Reuben NJ. Whit
new. The scene which took place in
the committee room was called up,
where Mr. Whitney sihreatcned as
well as dogged by one Of the COM
mit.ee.
Mr.. Wise rose and asked if the re-
marks of the gentleman were intend
ed to apply TO him.
Mr.. Stanly said, my remark is in
reply to that Of the gentleman from
Virginia, that the Committee on
Public Expenditures were DIGGING
the Secretary of the Treasury.
Mr.. Wise wished to know. after 4
word or two Of explanation, if the re-
marks of the gentleman from North
Carolina were meant for him or some
other one of the committee.
Mr.. Stanly--I mean the gentle
man from Virginia personally.
Mr.. WiSe-Ihis was just such 4
remark as | expected from Il coward.
Mr.. Stanly--The gentleman shall
not escape SO easily. meant him.
and knew nv man. | referred to
the scene which took place in the
committee room, when the gentle
man from Virginia threatened Reu-
ben NJ. Whitney with the loss of his
life if he had moved. Whether | am
4 coward or not my seat here will
show-(rcferring to the rcncountre
between Mr.. Wise and Mr.. Stanly
in the extra session, when Mr.. Wise
came to the seat Of Mr.. s.
Mr.. Stanley repeated that he knew
his man-that he had long known
him. The gentleman from Virginia
could find ont whether he was a cow
ard or not. He had but TO try and
see.
Mr.. Gushing continued the debate,
and is speaking as | close.

not been SO great for several years past,

Interesting from FiOridd-Proba-
bic termination Of the Wharf.-The
Baltimore American, contains the
following extracts from the Savannah
Republican, of May, 5:
BY the steamer Newborn, from
Pilatka, we have the important in,el-
lIgence that Halteck, Tustenuggee
has come in once more TO have an
interview with Col. Worth. Only a
lew hours elapsed after the late battle
III the nelghborhood of the Ock-
lawaha. His warriors suffered severe
ly in that engagement, and he now
proposes TO surrender. He has again
gone out 10 bring his people in, some
sixty or seventy, including at least
twenty warriors. Col. Worth has
given him the assurance that he shall
oe made chief, which. together with
some other inducement held out to
him, leave no room 10 doubt that he
IS sincere.
The surrender of Halleck virtual
~ finishes the war. Sam Jones and
the prophet are still at the South, but
they have not been near the settle
ments nor committed murders for q
long time. They pretend 10 observe
Gen. Macomb's treaty. Halleck has
sent Il meSSeger 10 them, and there is
every reason 10 believe that the war
is at an end.
IAN extract of a letter dated Warm
Springs, April 90 says: AN official re-
port has just been received, tina, a
detachment under Capt. Fanhorn
near Oscilla, has surprised the camp
