Mr.. COMINS Mass said that the House had been
engaged ali the session in endeavoring to release the
of from the tyrannca grasp of the Admin
istratop and he was not willing place the residents
of the District of Columbia in its power. The bill

eighty.
Mr.. CLEMENS Val asked whether Mr.. Comns
had forgott. that the Republican party had deprived
the city of New-York OF its Municipal power, ami
vested 1t in the Executive of the State.
Mr.. COMlNS doubted originally and was not yet
convinced Of, the expediency of that measure.
During spirited colOquy between Messrs.
CLEMENS ard CAMPBELL tOhio), the latter said
that if Mr. Clemens could not trust his own Executive
ard party on the Deficiency bill, which proposed to
sustain the Army on the frontier, he Campbeln could
not trust the Executive to regulate the Police of
Nashir gtcn. He would rather sec his constituents
con here Ia protect themselves.
Mr. CLEMENS replied-And yet the gentleman
from Ohio voted fer the Deficiency BILL which gave
the Executive Department absolute control ever eight
or nine millions Of dollars, taking peculiar merit tc
himself for voting Tor It.
Mr.. CAMPBELL explained that the estimates were
subm,tt d. and il declared by the Executive I'd
the House that Utah was in state of rebellion. He
separated from his party ana his friends in voting )l
Mr. CLEMENS-I thought you said you no
prM, M. CAMpBELi~You have abandoned your party
by voting against the Deficiency bill, and II !, for you
to settle your accounts with the Administration.

rather delicate subject on this side. Suppose you
copfine yourself to the bill now pending. Laughter.
Mr.. CLEMENS said that Mr.. Campbell sailed in
tie eye Of the wind politically, and ne did not know
where to find him.
MIR. CAMPBELL despised and condemned the
slavery Of mind than any other kind of slavery
and would rather be slave of Mr.. Clemens's and
under his lash than the slave OF any party or power

rLe tcrchliy uagnanlneus, and reminded him of the
coUp.t

Ohio had was derived from bis allegiance TO party.
