Thursday, the morning hour was consumed in de-

Friday was regular gala day, the yeas and nays
being taken no less than eight times. This com
menced on motion for o call of the House, there
evidently being no quorum present, at the hour of
assembling; the effect, however was the same, as
it enabled members to arrive. A point of order
by Mr.. Doty, to reconsider the vote against laying
the Wisconsin bill on the table; it being contended
that the motion had never been formally put by the
Speaker, but was handed in subsequent to motion
being made to adjourn. The Speaker decided in ac-
cordance with the practice of the House, that the
motion was in order This decision was appealed
from, the appeal was laid on the table, and motion
made by Mr.. Dean, of New York, to lay the motion
10 reconsider on the table, sent to keep company
with the appeal.
The motion to reconsider then came up, and was
carried by small majority; and then the great OBJ
lect was to prevent the reconsideration which had
Just been voted Motions were alternately repeated
to 60 into committee on private claims, although
the hour for adourning had nearly arrived and the

Three O'clock when the House adjourned. During the
edueSie Mr. Houston endeavored TO get the House
in committee on the Army Appropriation bill, stat
ing that unless it was passed at that time it would
not come up again for upwards of week; but meet
ing with little countenance, he withdrew the mo-
tion.
The result is, that only the second committee has
been called upon for reports-that of Ways and
Means-within the last month of the session, and
that the Committee Claims will have to be called
on before the Committee on Commerce can be
reached, leaving thirty other standing commit

THE AFFRAY IN UTICA.--The Utica Herald
has the following account of the late airay in that
city wherein one man was killed and two Others Sc.
riously wounded The most heart-rendng catas-
trophe ever witnessed in Utica occurred in the upper
part of the city about half past ten on Monday eve
ming, between party of watchmen and people re-
siding in Eaton, Madison county Bernard McMan-
nus young man about II years OF age, residing ut
Log City, Madison county, and an lrislman by
birth, was shot through the heart, and died almost
instantly. James Rooney, OF Eaton, was also shot
in the thigh, and * considered in perous con-
dition. Mr.. Arthur Plant, watchman, was also
dreadfuy beaten, and his recovery is considered
doubtful 1t appears that party consisting OF the
brothers Rooney their sister, another woman, and
the brothers McMannus, all of Madison county, had
come TO the city TO attend the wedding Of Bernard
McMannus, the deceased, and were having jolli-
Rcation at the house Of a Mr. John Dolan, on Elm
street. Late in the evening, watchmen Simmons and
Plant, having an appointment in the vicinity, care
up to the house and watched the proceedings within
Some Of those within cSming ont, an ARRAY com
menced. which resulted as we have seen Altogether
it is distressing affair. The watchmen probably did
what they deemed to be their daty. As 10 what this
duty should have been there will be different opin
ions. II the shooting, rs the testimony of Mr.. Pol
lard indicates, the last act of scfdefence IL was
unquestonaby iustifable A private citizen much
police o&cer, has the right of taking life to
save his own, On the other hand the deceased was
q young man little addicted to dissipation. He had
come into the city to be married, and getting into

TIE CHERoKEEs.- Judge Hicks and two other

The CHERoKEEs-Judge Hicks and two other
distinguished Cherokees arrived here yesterday, on
their way to Washington City. They go as delegates
from their nation, their object being to propose the
retrocession to the United States for proper pccu
mary consideration, OF about eight hundred thousand
acres of the land granted to their people by the go
vernment. The Cherokees think that they can do
without the tract in question, whilst they sorey need
the money. Judge Hicks states that although there
is fair share of industry among the Cherokees and
although the more intelligent classes have almost
everything they need the number OF the common In
dams is rapidly decreasing the deaths among them
being far more numerous than the births. He
ascibes this to the fact that there is great deal
of sickness among them, and that they have not pro-
per medical treatment. Probably they have not
means to pay for the medical services that money
might command. The Cherokee delegation is accom-
panied by General Smthson of Arkansas, who was
one of the two democratic candidates for Governor
at the last election in that State He s highly in
tellgent gentleman, and, although he has no official
connection with the delegates, we presume he will
do all in his power to promote the object which they
go to accomplish. Journal, Feb. 2.
