WASHINGTON. July II, 1872.
A Scene In the House of Representatives.
To TIE EDITOR OF THE n. Y HERALD.
DEAR SRI
About o'clock last night, (rather this morn
lng) as was returning from the theatre, after hav-
ing heard Booth in his favorlte character of chard
the Third, my attention was attracted bv lights in
the capitol, and Immediately determined TO find
out what 1t meant. Upon entering the hall of the
House OF Representatives | found about dozen
gentlemen socially collected together close around
the Speakers chair, listening in perfect silence to
speech from Mr. Edwards, OF Mo-, upon the tariff
Upon looking around, found Mr. Wise among the
number, with his head like chickens, apparently
under his arm, and in profound sleep. Dixon
Lewis was also there, IN glorious state of ndliier-
ence To what was gong on around. j. Thompson
Mason, OF Md, sat with his back toward the Speak
ers CHAIR with ms hat over ms eyes,and entirely
UNCONSCIOUS OF existence, IN other words last asleep.
There was Mr.. Tillnghast Mr.. Campbell of Tenn.
Mr.. Gwln OF Miss, Mr.. RIdseway ,andtwo or three
others, in the same unconscious, happy condition
Mr.. Thompson OF Miss, the only gentleman
with his eyes open, and he was watching with all
anxiety for the floor. Matthew Clark was sound at
ms post. There was no disorder--no noise-except
what the speaker WHO had the floor made. Mr.
Hopkins of Va, was in the chair. His face was
turned IN different direction from the gentleman
who was occupying the floor, and ! afterwards
learned that the last gentleman who had spoken, Mr.
Caldwell, of ) c., stood upon the opposite side of
the Hail. and that Mr.. Edwards, who followed him,
upon the other side OF the ROOM found the Chairman
IN profound and fixed sleep, with his back turned
toward him, and from which position Mr.. Hopkins
never moved during the speech. After Mr.. Edwards
had concluded, some gentleman rose and moved
the Committee rise. Not word of reply was
made--a death-like silence prevailed-the Chair
man, clerk, and members were all asleep. Says
to myself this House can never adjourn till the day
OF judgment, and, without any formal adjournment
other, and myself among them, leaving the balance
to their sweat repose and have doubt that there
they remained till Mr.. Mat opened the House next
morning with prayer. Each one of these gentle
men well earned indeed their eight dollars for hav-
ing slept so well and soundly. ]. l..
p. S.-Next morning. understand that at eight
o'clock this morning, the last account we have,
that Mr. Hopkins the clerk, Mr. Lewis, Mr., Mason
and Mr.. Ridgeway were still asleep in their places

There little in the Senate further than the ten
thousand dollar appropriation for printing new ste
reotypc compilation OF the Laws OF the United
States; and three thousand dollars in addition tor
editing 1t; which | learnwas passed.
An Executive session began about two.
in the House, Mr.. Moore of Louisiana asked leave
TO offer an amendment TO the Tariff Bill relating 10
an imposition OF duties on articles imported via Tex
as, with view In the event OF Its being entertained,
to make an explanation on the subject and showing
that the government would be liable to fraud; which
being objected to from various quarters, Mr. Moore
moved suspension of the rules, but to no purpose;
the House, on motion of Mr.. Fillmore, went into
Committee of the Whole, and resumed the consi-
deration of the Tariff Bill
Several amendments proposed by Mr.. Fernance
were rejected. Mr.. Fillmore then moved to strike
out the clause relative to duty on coal and TO in
sert specific duty of $sl.75 per ton
This was opposed and strongly, by Mr. Roosevelt,
who considered the high duty on coal as oppressive
to the New York poor and tending not the benefit
of the Treasury but only that of the proprietors
of Pennsylvania coal beds. Mr. Roosevelt resisted
this taxation of New York for the advantage of
Pennsylvania In northern climate coal was es-

would fall upon the Aims House and the pauper Gel
lar. After some further observations, Mr.. Roose-
welt moved to strike cut $l.75 per ton and TO insert
Is cents per ton. This being rejected, as well as
other proposed amendments, Mr.. McKeon, of New
York. movedfor the insertion of l2a cents per ton
enforcing his motion by appropriate remarks. Mr..
Brown of Pennsylvania, asked why the New York
Legislature did not remit their duty of 10 cents
bushe on SALT which pressed heavily on the poor
not only of Pennsylvania but New York. Mr.
McKeon's amendment being rejected, that of Mr.
Fillmore prevailed
Mr.. FILLMORE next moved to strike out that pro-
vso which allows drawback on exported coal con-
sumed on board atlantic steamers which, though
vigorously opposed by Mr.. Roosevelt, was adopted.
The debate stopped by resolution at twelve o'clock
and as our letter closed the House was at work upon
coffee and tea.

was one mile and five cights, which she accom-

gig also came out ahead OF all others, performing
the distance IN fourteen minutes. The barge OF the
o. ;. ship Ohio. came in second best. The scene
was one OF much excitement, every spectator was on
tiptoe and when the result was known the welnin
rang with the shouts of the multitude Captain
Brown presented TIC pitcher, valued at $50, to the
coxswain and crew OF the gig OF the Independence,
accompanying the presentation with few remarks,
winch were replied to by the coxswain, who assured
lhe worthy Captain that when he had any more
spare pitchers, himself and crew would be on hand.
ne coxswain of the Ohios barge receiving the
suver goblet, valued at SIS, also remarked to the
worthy Captain that they should call for pitcher

country we are delighted TO find that the Fourth of

principally owing to temperance: and instead of

would send Father Matthew. To be sure we have

Murders at ~ Discount.

We give to-day the details of the execution of
liardenburg for the murder of IIasbrouck This
execution Is Just one. Tappan will shortly be
hung IN this city for most brutal murder Colt
has been denied new trial by the Supreme Court
and must soon suffer the penalty of the law. Low
is now on trial for the murder of Winans at Rah
way, and we expect that he will be found guilty
tomorrow. Verify murders will soon be at dis
count and the world may become honest.
DR.. Morn AND DR. HoUsroN.-We observe that a
controversy has arisen between DIR. Mott and his
brother of the Stuyvesant Institute and the Editor
OF the Lancet" DR.. Houston has been strenuous
ly contending for an extension fhe period of col
legiate medical education in this country; and we
think with him that eight months instruction is ra-
thor limited and confident that all enlightened
and disinterested men must believe that by render
ing the course of college education here, equal to
thatpursued in the Universities of Europe, an i'm
mense deal would be done TO improve and elevate
the character of the medical profession this coun-
try Dr. Mott and his colleagues, however, think
otherwise; and certainly, as they have heretofore
gwen the public so many proofs Of their singular sa-
sacty, we must conclude that they have not unad-
vsedy assumed the attitude OF virulent opponents of
any reform of medical education. These gentlemen
dIS very WISE III llclr generation, ana doubtless
argue that II they manufacture NJ. DIS for less ex-
pendlure of time and money than any other nstl-
tuition, that they will reap if not a harvest of honor
able reputation, at least substantial proofs of the
wisdom other policy. The Stuyvesant Faculty,
we may add, in conformation of this view of
their conduct, generously take Southern and Tex
ian money al par from the students, thus reducing
Their tees far below those exacted at the humblest
village school of medicine, and exhibiting at the
same time remarkably accurate idea of the worth
OF their own projections.
After all. however, wiss as this Faculty are, they
may be mistaken in their shrewd calculations
Somehow the public is not so easily cheated now-a-
days Brass ispretty generally estimated at its pro-
per value.
With all due respect for the sapence of the Fa-
Guilty OF the Stuyvesant, would conclude this
paragraph by reminding them that they cannot gain
personal abuse of DR. Houston in the columns of
scsrrllous and obscene prints. If they regard Dr.
H.'sadvocacy of an improved system of medical
education reprehensibe, let them show it in a de.
cent manner, and through decent channel-Vrb.
