In the debate on the Southern Relief Bill
n the Lower House of Congress, Messrs.
Bingham, of Ohio and Butler Of Massachu-
setts were drawn into spicy contest Of words.
in which Mr.. Bingham got the decided adj
vantage Of "Brick" Pomeroy's especial
friend. Butler in defending his voting 81
consecutive times, singly and alone, in the
Charleston Convention, for Jefferson Davis,
said that he supported Mr.. Davis then as a
Union man, while Mr.. Bingham supports
him as traitor, and that his support tier
was based on the fact that he desired thereby
to prevent the threatened disunion which
lcomed up in the distance, aud retorted upon
nir. Bingham that the only victim of his
prowess during the war was an innocent wo-
man, (DIrs Surratt) whom he believed to
hare been tried and convicted by military
commission without sufficient evidence. The
'do", N-,.l lIo,Zl thinks &c it required a good
Mumford in New Orleans, without Judge q
jury TO censure the prosecuting attorney in
the case of Mrs. Surratt." We think # re-
quired equally as murn lmpuueuvo " ASST :
that he voted for Jefferson Davis, in the
Charleston Convention, to prevent i" threat
ened disunion" when in the same Convention
he counseled secession as the only remedy for
for the South, and delared that, in that event,
he intended to sell out in Massachusetts, and
locate in the South "Those who live in
glass houses should not throw stones and on
this principle we advise Gen. Butler to say
as little as possible about disunion, secession,
treason, murder and confscation.

The contest between Bingham and Butler,
referred to elsewhere, was resumed on the
26th inst, when Bingham spoke of Butler
as the sman in. bottle and fed with a
SPOON" which was received with applause
from all portions of the Hall and Galleries.

Gen. Sickles, Commandant of District No.
2, North and South Carolina, has issued
an order similar to that of Gen. Schofeld, in
which he asks the cooperation of the people,
* to the end that occasions may seldom arise
for the exercise Of military authority in mat
tiers Of ordinary civil administration.
