| Committee of the Whole. this afternoon,
| had under consideration the Million Bill for
the relief of the destitute people Of the
South, and debate sprang up when Il scene
ensued remarkable for its personalities.
Mr. Butler first took the floor on the bill,
and charged Mr.. Woodbridge, of Vermont
with saying that he was not statesman.
Mr.. Woodbridge sprang out of his seat
and said the declaration was false, and
! known by Mr.. Butler to De so when he made
! t.
Mi. Butler then said he took it back, and
assumed the reverse; that Mr. Woodbridge
meant that he was statesman.
BUTLER AND BIKGHAM.
This paved the way for tilt between
Messrs, Butler and Bingham. The debate
ran along until the former charged tht
latter with being In spirit as well AS In
body on the Democratic side.
Mr., Binghnm and other Republicans, II
will be remembered have seats on the
Democratic side.
In the course of his reply, Mr.. Bingham
charged Butler with voting for jeff Davi,
fifty-seven times in the Charle>tOu Con
vention, and sneeringly alluded to him al
the hero of Fort Fisher. This brought
down round ofapplause.
Mr.. Butler Immediately retorted by say
Ing that he did the best he could at Fort
Fisher, and wound up by declaring that
whatever he might have done In the field
he had not the blood of an innocent wo-
man upon his hands, which was not the
case with the member from Ohio. He re-
ferred he said, to Mrs. Surratt, whom Mr.
Bingham prosecuted on the conspiracy tri-
al, and who he tButlerl believed to be inno-
cent.
This declaration caused an intense sensa-
ton throughout the crowded galleries and
on the floor,
The House voted Mr., Bingham an oppor-
tunity to reply, and he defended himself
from the charge. The measure was
then considered, without final vote.
