WAsHINeroN, Feb. 6.-HousE. - The

Athalf past 6 this morning, Mr.. pullman
submitted resolution that the House ad journ
till Monday next, when the subject under
consideration--theK asas rnessage--shal be
resumed and the vote taken without further
delay, debate, or dilatory motions. Unani-
nous consent was given for the introduction
of the resolution, which was agreed to, and
the Speaker announced the House adjourn
ed till Monday, when the subject will Come
up as Special Order,
Just before two o'clock, the House was
thrown into violent excitement and fear
ful scene Of confusion ensued.
1t appears that while Mr.. Grow, Of Penn
sylvana, was walking down the aisle OF the
Democratic side of lie Hal, Mr., Keitt, of
South Carolina, land friend approached him,
and a slight squabble ensued, and Mr.. Keitt
struck, Mr.. Grow. The parties were sepa-
rated by their friends, but they continued to
exchange words in an evidently excited
manner, and Keitt again dealt blow at
Grow, and the latter knocked Keltt down.
Crowds Of their respective friends then rush
ed to the rescue, and various members on
each side engaged in fight in the area
fronting tie Clerks desk. MIR. Washburne,
Of Illinois, was conspicuous among the Re-
publicans, dealing heavy blows.
The Speaker loudly called for order, and
called Oh The Sergeant. at Arms 10 interfere,
and that functionary, carrying his m ace Of
office, together with his assistants, hurried
to the scene, and crowded into the thickest
OF the fight, in which at least dozen mem
bers were engaged, but it was some minutes
before the contest was queted, the members
very reluctantly returned to their seats
here was now dead calm in comparison
with the scenes first enacted.
Mr.. Quitman moved that they now ad-
journ, and take the question on the refer
ence of tbs Message of the President on
Kansas affairs on Monday at one o'clock.
Emphatic aud general responses from the
Republicans side of No, No, and confusion
began to break out airesh, when the Speak
er said that he would direct the Sergeant at
Arms to put under arrest those who disre-
garded the rules Of the House.
Mr.. Campbell, of Ohio, said that he fore.
saw disagreeable feelings would result here
from the exciting questions connected with
Kansas, and was called to order by Mr..
Barksdale.

He has, has he? Well, just load
my, rifle; my son, and we will see if
an ounce of lead will not lead Mr..
Smiths colt to reform his habits,
This colloquy passed between
Mr.. and Master Stubs just after tea.
As soon as dark comes MIR. Stubs,
takes his rifle marches over towards
old Smiths farm, and when within
about thirty rods of old Smiths barn
he raj ed the deadly tube, took aim
pulled the trigger, and dropped one
of the finest looking grey colts in the
country.
Mr.. Stubs having fulfilled his
mission returned home, went to bed
and slept with lighter conscience
than he had enjoyed for the last eight
months. The next morning while
seated at his breakfast, who should be
seen striding towards the domicil of
Stubs; but old Mr.. Smith. Smith
entered the house--Smith was ex-
cited, and for moment lacked words
to express HIMSELF TSsvr
Mr.. Stubs, I've come to tell you
that a horse was shot near my barn

which horse was it?
The colt you purchased last week

my pasture last evening; intended to
send him home, this morning. but
it's no use now-his brains lay scat
tered over the barn yard
Mr.. Stubs was thunderstruck.

horse drove him to desperation, and
caused him to seek relief in direc-

was chasing his son Jim down the
turnpike with an eight foot sappling.
