DrsGRACEFUL-The House of Representatives
of the present Congress, has been the scene of
more disgraceful brawls, than have occurred in
that body since the organization of our Govern
ment. On Friday last, in the course of debate
upon a question relating to the Covode Com
mittee, Mr.. Tappan, who, having obtained the
floor, yielded it, as he had right TO do, to Mr..
Train of Massachusetts,. Mr.. Houston of Ala
bama, in most unjustiiable way objected to
this arrangement, and continued talking in spite
of many calls to order. When Mr.. Train was
able to make himself heard, he remarked that
he should consider himself guilty of gross i'm
propriety as a member and a gentleman, if he
insisted on speaking when he had no right to
the floor. To this perfectly justifable remark
Mr.. Houston, in that bullying spirit so common
with Southern members, chose to take excep-
ton, and asked if it was meant to apply to him?
Mr.. Train replied that what he said he meant,
and should stand by it. Whereupon the other
called him disgraceful liar and scoundrel. A
scene ensued which, except that blows were
wanting, would be considered anywhere else a
row, and one that ought to be suppressed by a
squad of policeman. Mr.. Houston, at length,
asked pardon of the House, for violation Of
of the rules, but offered 40 apology to the gem
tleman whom he had so grossly insulted. The
only acknowledgement he will make TO him,
probably, will be TO express through friend a
wish, which he knows will not be gratifed. that
they should fire pistols at at each other at dis
tance of twelve PAGES. -

The NY. Times for Lincoln.

The New York Times, formerly pow
erful Douglas organ, has declared in favor
Lincoln for the Presidency. The Times
talks thus:
According to present appearances, we
have no hesitation in saying, that the sue
cess of the Republican ticket promises to
be the only practical mode of escaping
the dangers which menace the peace and
prosperity of the country Itseems prob
able that the only choice which rejecting
men will be allowed to make in the com
ing canvass, will be between electing Mr..
Lincoln, and thus committing the Federal
Government 10 the hands of an able, hon
est and upright citizen, or seeing the Pres
idency scrambled for on the floor of Con-
gress, and made tie prize of venality, or
the sport of men who speculate profession
ally in the misery ard- distress of their
country.

We have heretofore published full par
ticulars of the prevalence of the plague
among the cattle in New England, Gov.
Banks, at the request of the State Board
of Agriculture of Massachusetts, to consid-
er the matter, which met yesterday. In
view of the large and important cattle in-
terest of Ohio and the west, and upon
consultation with leading agriculturalists
of Ohio, Gov. Dennison has appointed
Messrs. John H. Klippart, Sullivan d. Har-
ris, and DR.. Robert Tompson, to proceed
to the districts in New England infected
by the disease, and report on the follow
ing points, viz:
First-Ascertain the history of the in
PRODUCTION of the pleuro-puenmonia, or
"caitle-plague," into New England. As
certain fully the diagnosis of the disease,
by personal inspection of diseased cattle.
.Second-Ascertain fully, by personal in
spection, the morbid anatomy of the affec-
ted parts; and attend as many postmor-
tenn examinations as may be either neces-
SdI VI COufSultut.
Ihird-Ascertain what effect, if any,
and what kind of medical treatment has
been administered. Ascertain also what
sanitary measures have been adopted, and
with what success; also what measures
have been determined upon to arrest the
progress of the disease. Determine as ac-
curately as may be the manner of infection
or communication Of this disease from one
animal or herd to another.
FourM-Collect statements of the pro-
gress of the disease, and tie action and
results of the disease, and the action and
results of the committees appointed by
the recent Legislatures of Massachusetts,
and Connecticut.
The gentlemen appointed on this COM
mission are well known in this community
as scientific and practical men, who take a
deep interest in whatever copcerns our ag-
ricultural affairs, and we doubt not their re-
port will be thorough and satisfactory
The farmers of the State, and especially
all who are connected with the cattle trade,

Cattle Disease-GOv. Ranks,
Message. 4

The cattle disease has appeared in the
neighborhood of Newark, New Jersey, and
out of seven cattle attacked, fourhad died
up to the 31st Nult. Examinations show
the disease to be the same as that in Mass
achusetts, and the disease is supposed to
have been introduced by an animal from
that State.
Great anxiety on the subject of the cat
tie disease is felt in Maine, and the Cover
nor has appointed commission of three
to visit Massachusetts, for the purpose of
investigating and reporting upon the sub
ject, with view to the dissemination of
the informatiotion acquired among the
people of Maine.
The message of Gov. Banks to the special
session of the Legislature of Massachusetts,
on the subject of the alarming Pleuro-
Pneumonia, states that the Commissioners
appointed under the statue have examined
all suspected herds, and many cattle have
been isolated by their order. Eight hun
dred and forty-two have been slaughtered,
for which compensation has been allowed
by the Commissioners to the amount of
S2O,432. Tue Governor urges the Legis-
lature to regulate or prohibit, so far as it
can be wisely and properly done, the expor-
tation of cattle, in which the seeds of dis
ease may possibly exist, from Massachusetts,
into other States, and to enlarge the pow
ers of towns, so that they may protect
themselves from invasion by infected cattle,
and controle the course of the disease
when it is discovered within their limits.
Also, to make the sale of sick or diseased
animal criminal offence by statue law
Gov. Banks also suggests a thorough scien-
tiic investigation of the character of the
disease.
According to the message the disease
was introduced into Massachusetts the 23d
May, 1859, with an importation of Dutch
cattle from Holland, and the distemper at
present existing can be traced to no other
cause than this importation. The symp-
toms of the disease do not essentially diff
fer from the description given by English
medical authors, of the disease called
pleuro pneumonia, as it exists in England.

SENATE.-Mr. Slidell, from the Commit
tee to investigate corruptions in public
printing, made majority report to the ef-
feet that any moneys paid by Wendall
were in accordance with bargain, and if
he paid for any political purposes, it was
entirely voluntary,aud without the knowl-
edge of any officers of the Government
The report condemns the present system
of printing as the worst that could have
been adopted; exonerates the Presisent
from any knowledge of the matter, reflects
severely on the testimony of Wendall, and
concludes with resolution that the Com
mittee be instructed to inquire into the ex-
pediency of providing for the printing be-
ing done by contract, or otherwise.
Mr.. King made minority report to the
effect that the testimony shows clearly that
large sums have been paid to the printer
for the support of party papers and to in
fluence elections, and that the payments so
made were known and assented to by the
President. The majority agree to the res
olution appended to the majority report
Mr.. Anthony urged complete reform
in the public printing. He thought that
the newspapers that could not support
themselves were ofn use to any party,
and that the printer 10 the Senate having
violated the law by transferring the print
ing, the office should be declared vacant.
The subject was postponed till to-mor-
