WASHINGTON, TburidRg, Sept 20
Bunoombe has been the order Of the day for
areat part OF to day s session. The question of sho
alleged necessity for Western Armory. 1t stood
shus at djournment-acoording to the following
paragraph of the Army Bill;
aPor purchaang Elite and corsssencing we'll ssid-
Corr the necessary WORKS for National Armory al
sPor, Hasnac' the confluence Of Inc Cumberland,
Repnsssee Ohio and Msipsipp Rvera pursH ant TO the
provision Of September eghteen hundred and
and 10 Tho epcrt Commisaonerp appointed
under sad povsi ID 10 be applied unde The direction OF
the Becrolaly OF War;
Yesterday, Fort Masssc," the quotation marks
around which seemed to have been employed
for the very purpose OF calling attention to it and
suggesting attempts at Buuoombe substitutes OF
other localities, was stricken out. Then there fol-
lowed motion to strike out the whole paragraph
from Mr.. OTIS OF Maine. This was pending this
morning when the House went into Committee,
with an Amendments, by Mr. BoWLIN, OF MISSOURI,
30 insert st. Louis. The Buncombelsing process
waa commenced in earnest. THE members are
generally in earnest when their popularity at home
and Southwest were designated and urged by cor
responding speeches. Finally the whole para
graph was stricken out in Committee; tbs dog in
she.manger oontest about particular places in the
West having admirably served to hill the whole
movement and the finishing stroke having been
given by the following amendment, proposed in
spirit OF wRggishneEs by Alabama CoBB--who
would be pretty good fellow by the way, were
he under better associations, and such as would
not require him 80 serve the propagandists, as he
has dor quite faithfully, during the atrugge jost
passed:
PYocided, fStaey, Having in view the sautEry effects
hat may DO produced by the reace Convention
sion nj Frsniforto Main which may abolish the
Of anna for the purpose OF War hereby provided that
MI hereaf TO be constructed shall be such
plans TO be suitable for he purpose OF hunting game
other anGsements."
What were the other amusements' intended
to be designated, / am at a loss 20 Infer. Perhaps
they are those coffee and pistol "amusements
30 gioried In by the ohivGry, or those "other
anusements" in which the armies OF the glorious
Union have been made to engage, when murder
tug Indians to regain the possession OF their fusi
two ohas.el lands for the devastation OF slavery
But, DO this it may, many an idle jest like shis
has proved an index OF things TO come and 30 the
Peace Congress, thus attempted to be brought into
ridicule may" lead to the abolition of the use
OF arms for she purpose OF war, and thus prove to
have been the precursor OF the reign OF Universal
Peace Go on, then, with your ridicule, Mr.. COBB,
thanks for your decidedly Suggestive proposition.
When the Committee finally rose, las it did
about % oo'ock,) Tiers were much fewer separate
votes called for than l nticipated-only three in
all The first OF these was on the amendment pro-
vidipg for the Cemetery in Mexico, which passed
without even division. The second was on strk-
ing out she aforesaid "Massac" Armory clause
which was put by Yeas and NsyR, aud gave % to
so, Sustaining the action of the Committee. Onthe
third and LAST phe purchase of $4,000 worth OF
Colts Revolvers the motion to strike out was
carried, Yeas lie to Nays &c. The bill was then
passed without division. Mr. FOWLER seeming
y suspecsing sons lurking devil in the still water
81 the unusually nonfepist&nt process1 made the
asua motion TO olinch," which was carried mem,
on Mr.. RICHARDSON demanded the Yeas and |
Nays, and they were ordered amid much merr' |
nent But they were MOI called, tho demand be-
pg merely good joke.
MIR. McLANE, of Md. previous to the rising OF the
Committee, Lad given notice that Immediately
Upon the disposition Of the Army bill, he should
move 80 take up the River and Hsrbor Bill; bus
dr. BAYLY "caaght the Speaker eye, and moved
o so into Committee of the Whole, with the
lvowed purpose of taking up the Senate smsnd"
nenss to the Civil and Diplomatic bill. Once In
Commitseo MIR. McLAEE rose TO redeem his
'edge but he was ruled out OF order by the chair
