A Scared SouaI,ers,er.

WASHINGTON, Thursday, March Sth, 1860.
The House was in an excited state to-day
over vio,eat language used yesterday by
Reuben Davis ofMissi-sippi toward Mr.. Van
Wycl< of NewYork. Comparatively few
members were aware of the character Of the
hasuage till the debate was published to-day.
Mr.. Davis uneasily marched about the Hall
ali the time the House was in session to-day,
carrying IL cane.
THE PASSAGE BETWEEN MEssRs. DAVIS AND
VAN wYcK.
Mr.. VAN WyCK-Sir, will indulge in no
tnnliind remark to woandthe feelings Of any
man, Int the charge must he met. and histo-
ry viniicatcd, let the consequences Gall where
and as they may. One other gentleman
spoke Of Massachusetts, burning witches in
the ancient times. Does ne not know that
his own people burn slaves at the stake, and
Mr.. DAVIS Of Miss. (iaterrupting)-I pro-
nounce the gentleman anarand scoundrel.
pronounce the gentleinan's assertion false,
utterly false.
Mr.. WY time is short, and Ihope not
to be interrupted
Mr.. D.-You have no right to utter such
foul and false slan'lers.
Mr.. GARraELL---I rise to point of order.
1t is that no member on the floor has right
to libel the people ofany secaep of this coun-
try, and then deny to the representatives of
that people the right to reply. | pronounce
the assertion made by the gentleman false
and unfounded.
(Cries ST Order on the Republican
side.)
Mr.. WI have heard such words before,
and | am not to be disturbed nor interferred
with by any clustering OF that sort. am
not here to libel any part Of the Union.
Mr.. p.-Will you go outside the District
Of Columbia and test the question ofperson-
al courage with any Southern men !?
Mr. WI travel anywhere, and without
fear Of any one. For the first eight weeks
of this session you. stood upon tbs floor
continually libelling the North and the peo-
pie Of the Free State, charging them with
treason and Ill manner of crimes and now
you are thrown into great rage when |, tell
you IA few facts ...
Mr.. D.-A4t Chairman--,
THE CnAIR.-The gentleman of New FORK
cannot be interrupted except by a point of
ORDER and the Chair appeals to the gentle
men of the Committee not to violate the
rules of the House. The Chair trusts they
will not do so.
Mr. D.-i shall observe them, SIR, if others
do not; but certainly will not premit South
ern people to be slandered.
Mr. VT gentlemen are so sensitive in
regard 60 their own feelings ask them TO
be as sensitive as to the feelings Of Others
if they We're, we would not have suxh whole
sale dananciation the people of the North
as we had luring the fist eight mee!.s. Of
this session.

Progress IL, the Eesialatsare.

Tie Legislature seem to be getting tow rl<
in earnest, promising to turn off good deal
of business the balance of the session.
l.. ID. Ingersoll Esq, (Linkensale, the cor
respondent of'the Hark- Egs,) was expelled
from the Senate, for discourtcous reflections
upon Sen. Johnson of this County, which
treatment the said Linkens,e may have de-
served, the attack being grossly personal and
inexcuSahlv impairment, hut we think an
apology to the Senate, and~a vote of censure,
would have been sufficient, and we think
also, the agrievatl Senator would have done
better had he given the matter less promi-
nence.
a hin authoriSing County JUDGES to sub
scribe stock in Agricultural Societies when
sustained by "A vote ofthe people, passed the
Senate on the stlf, 80 to 9.
Gov. Krkwood responded to request for
information touching his refusrl to deliver
Copric on reqniSition of the Gov. of Virginia,
in Message which triumphantly viniica.es
his action in that matter, which we shall pub
fish shortly.
The House on the sth, passed a bill pro
vidng for Commissioner on Immigration
for Iowa, to reside in New York City, by 81
to "A. ",
Also an act for the relief of tax payers in
certain cases, by 63 to 8, (not the Act re-
ducing interest, we take it,
Also Act to amend the law in relation to
the sale of Intoxicating Liquor; by Al to s..
The description we have of this act is, that
it strengthens the prohihitory law and repeas
the law allowing the manufacture of Native
wine and beer. Most ofthc Democrats testi-
fed their opposition to prohibition by voting
for it, while a good many, Republicans voted
against it ON the ground that its stringency
would tend to make the Prohibtory law
more imperative than it now is.
The Governor has vetoed the bill rostpon-
ing the Board of Education to 1865 on Con
stitutional grounds. 1t failed to get two
thirds vote and was defeated, so, that this
pet provision of j. c. Hall, viii have to, die
a natural death.
T. is decided by thc!Senatc that 50, pounds
Of oats shall be a blaesiiel.
The bill repeating the AGRICULTURAL College
bin we are sorry to say, has been Indefinitely
postponed. This College might be good
thing enough, ah%tgactly considered but at
present the benelits won't pay expenses.
The Act creating q Board of county Super.
yisors, (Giiict's Bill we understand passed
the House, II to, 81. We don't like this
measure. IT WILDE too cumbersome, incni-
Client, and expensive for a new country, we
fear

We have news from the Legislature Of Mis-
souri,, extra session, to the 9th, at which tiIn1
the friends of the Aid Bill, (the bill providing
fof extending fartl.es aid to complete the
trunk lines of road to their tcrmini,) were
very confident of srccess. The opposition
are putting forth every excrtion to defeat it,
bat it is said that there is strength enough,
to carry it, ii can reach a vote. The oppo.
siton, it was thought, would wear itself out
in dillatory movements, and finally permit
the previous Gnestion 10 be put. BY this
bill, if it bee omes law, the North Missouri
in which we have q deep interest, will receive
nearly a million dollars, sufficient to complete
it to the State line, 81 miles due south o!

No apology is necessary for the space &C.
cupiel by the speech of Senator Seward
which we present entire to orr readers in
this issue. 1t will be read by all with that
interest which the ahlest and truest exposi-
ton of Republican principles that has yet
been included into one effort, is calculated
to inspire. In matter most able and con-
vincing, in tone and spirit eminently nation
at and conservative, this effort must confirm
and strengthen the position which Mr.. Sew
ard holds, as the greatest of living American
statesmen, and silence to a great extent the
SANDERS and calumnies which have been so
recklessly and profusely heaped upon him by
those who are as far inferior to him in ability
as they are in patriotism and fidelity to the
Constitution. s5a ..
