question.
MIR. WISE asked the gentleman from New York.
(Mr. FIllmore,) TO accept, modification of his mo-
ton, certain instructions TO the Committee of Ways
and Means which he read from his place. They were,
in substance, nstructing the Committee Of Ways and
Means to examine into the state Of the finances and TO
report to the House whether, in their opinion, the
Of the Government will be sufficient TO
tain it's operations through the coming year-and, if
not what measures ought TO be adopted to provide the
necessary ways and means Tor carrying The Govern
ment.
Mr. FILLMORE refused 10 accept the modification.
Under the operation Of the previous question, the
reference was made, and the printing ordered moved
By Mr.. Fillmore.
Mr.. WISE then moved reconsideration Of the vote
just taken upon The question of printing the message
and report-and, upon that, he had word to say.
He felt, at the moment, some little excitement from

with the very able and interesting speech Of my friend

has not, on the Court green, proclaimed from end
of this Commonwealth TO the other that The banks ana
the spectators have been the principal cause Of pro-

QUESTION OF PRIVILEGE.
Mr.. GlDDlNGS rose To question OF privilege. lie
said that while he standing in the AISLE the gentle
man from Louisiana, (hlr. DawsonD in passing HIM,
laid his hand on him. and showed him aside. He (Mr
Glddngs) Immediately turned around and asked him
if he meant it unkindy. The gentleman said, he did
He then asked him if he meant il insult; and re-
ceived a similar reply. He felt personal anxiety
about it; he only wished TO know whether members
to be intim dated from expressing their honest sent
mens He had no fears for his personal safety but he
merely asked the House TO protect lis own dignity ;
and for this purpose he laid these facts before ,and the
country.
The SPEAKER was understood 10 say that he did
lot see the occurrence to which the gentleman had
alluded If he had it, he should certainly have
interposed.
Mr. CALHOUN desired that so much Of the Manual
as supplies 10 similar proceedings should be read was
due TO the representatives If free people TO know hat
were their rights upon this floor.
Mr.. WISE wou remark, in good temper that the
gentleman from Louisiana had gone of the Honse
1t appeared that he going the AISLE the gen
tlcman from Ohio happened to be in the way, and The
gentleman from Louisiana gently pushed him aside Chat
he might pass by him. lie (Mr Wise) himself pushed
hour, so narrow the passage But for the fact Of
the gentleman from Ohio asking the gentleman from
Louisiana whether he meant any thing wrong or not,
without meaning any personal offence the gentleman
not care. No man was courteous in his intercourse
with members Of This House than tina, gentleman. The
occurrence referred to silently done, so per-
fectly still, that neither his (r Wise s. friend from
Tennessee, himself, had witnessed it, although
they were but an arms length off, and did not hear
word about the matter until it was mentioned
by the gentleman from Ohio He would suggcs, TO
his friend from Massachusetts (Nlr. Calhoun) that it
was too late 10 investigate this matter by The House,
there but very few days remaining of the
session, at the conclusion of which many of the men,
bers would part perhaps forever Besides they could
not take notice of this without reference
to an exciting subject (Abolton) Let it go-let the
matter rest where it is; he had no doubt that the
gentleman from Ohio himself would consent 10 the
suggestion.
Mr.. GlDDINGS said that he had no desire to occu.
py one moment of the time CT the House. He had
personal fears anxiety, but left the question 10
be decided by the House. [Cries of "Let drop" 40
yes etc
Mr.. MALLORY made few remarks, TO the effect
that the gentleman from Louisiana laid his hand The
gentleman from Ohio in the gentest possible.
ir. WISE said that the gentleman from Ohio he pre-
sumsd would not say that he had received the slightest
hurt whatever. daughter

NAVIGATION OF THE OHIo.-The Pittsburgh
ChrenIcle attempts, with zeal worthy OF better
cause 10 convince the world that the Ohio river is
the biggest at the little end and that the navigation
is better between Wheeling and Pittsburgh
than between Wheeling and Cincinnati. The
assertion absurd and shows falseheod its face.
There five shoals, laid down in the chart above
Wheeling, 10 one below, and the points are equally
shallow. The difficulty of navigation above
Wheeling may be proved concluslvely, by the fol-
lowing facts. In 1888, ~ boats arrived at this
place from below, and were compelled to return
down because OF the low stage of water, although

Encyclopedia, work certainly not written IN pre-
