WASHINGTON, Jan. ~, lo4O
A most disgraceiul exhibition took place this
morning in the House OF Representatives. Mr. Hud.
son, of Massachusetts, rose to complain OF an arti-
Gle in the Union Of yesterday, msrepresenting his
remarks upon the conduct Of the public printers, in
not furnishing the documents at as early period as
was customary with the public printers. He said
day or two ago. that il was usual for them to furnish
those documents to the members within week
after their election but thatn more than month
had elapsed, and these valuable papers not yet
forthcoming
The Union, in its comments upon this passage OF
his speech, varied it, and attributed the charge
political hostility, thereby charging the member from
Massachusetts with falsehood. He was about pro-
ceeding further in his remarks, when Mr.. McCon-
nell repeatedly called him to order. Mr. McCsnRrll,
in conclusion, told Mr. Hudson that i was vain tor
him to play upon the administration organize
laugh y because it would not tune 10 his notes-(a
augh.J Mr.. Richie was one who would not touch
him with forty foot magnetic POLE
Mr. Davis. OF Ky, offered JOINT resolution for
the dismissal Of Mr. Heiss, and was then about
making some observations upon the subject when
Mr.. Mcconnell called him 10 order, and said that
he did not consider the gentleman from Kentucky
had any right to stand up there the advocate OF
the gentleman from Massachusetts, and read the
House homily upon what they ought to do in the
case before them. He further said that 1t was dirty
business all through, ana IN oiIy hanoe'
Mr.. Davis replied by saying that ne had no answer
to make to a dirty blackguard.
Considerable discussion then took place between
Messrs Bagby, Dromgoole, Joseph lngersoil, Davis
and Cunningham, upon the question as to Its being
a privileged one. The Chair decided it was, and
that 1t overruled all others. Mr. Cunningham ap-
pealed from the decision of the Chair, and the ayes
and nays being called for, the Speaker was sustain
ed by ayes ll6, nays 81.
Mr., Bayy then arose, and after speaking upon
the right OF the reporters and printers to cricise
the conduct of members, he said that the letter
writers who had seats on the floor were also allow.
ed to do this, and although they frequently INDUCED
in mlsreprese and calumny, he never thought
il worth his while to notlc. such conduct He then
moved that the resolution lie upon the table, until
called up at another time
Mr.. Davis said, that the gentleman from Virginia,
after he had made his remarks, ought not to make
motion of that Sort until others had done the same,
and hoped that he would withdraw II, for the pur-
pose OF allowing him TO reply
Mr.. Bayly said, that if he had made any remark
that required response, he would have no Objec-
ton but as he had not, he would persist IN his mo-
ton, and would leave Virginians to Judge OF the
question for themselves.
The ayes and nays upon laying the resolution up
the table being called, It stood ayes l9l, nays 3D.
Comment is unnecessary
The House then resolved itself into committee
Of the whole, when MIR. Hunter being entitled to
the floor, proceeded TO give his views upon tbs
Oregon question He was in favor Of Mr. Calhouns
view oil postponing the subject, and leaving II to
time and emigration.

Mexico, with view to the prosecution OF q war
with the United States. General Paroles, it ID
presumed, is at the head Of IL. The particulars may
