Sharp Tin In the House Betwcen Butler,
schenck and Holnsnp.
TIE greater portion Of the session or the House to-
day was taken up with q debate somewhat acrL
monlous ia character, upon Joint resolution re-
ported from the Committee ON Appropriations cor
recting what h. supposed 70 lie q clerical error In
one OF the appropriation bills passed at the last
session. The tllt was principally between schenck
and Butter uitn . slight interruption by Holman,
OF Indiana. The phrases afaIse statement y
..false,s aud swhas Il not truc,r were banded

a,nuse ana interest the House. Batter iuti-
mated rather broadly that the error In en-
crossing the bi was committed Intentionally, and
he distributed the blame between the enrolling
clerks OF the House and the Committee ON Enrolled
Bills. The first part OF this charge brought out
schenck. who Ia warm personal friend of the chief
enrolling clerk, and the second started M Holman
70 his feet he having been member " the commit
tee In question during the last session. This com
mttee is responsible for the correct enrolment Of
bills, and. whether the blunder was Intentional or
not the blame ultimately rests with the committee,
and not with uthe enrolling clerks, whose work they
supervise. ON this account Mr.. BoIman's reply 10
Butler was not only sharp. but his manner WA
earnest and even bitter. When he spoke OF throw
ing back the charge IN Buffers teeth, and almost IN
terms accused him Of faisehood, there was slight
sensation: but neither Butler nor any Of his friends
called Holman TO order for unparliamcntary Ian.
Gusge. The light between schcnck and Butler was
more protracted, and developed . considerable
degree OF personal III feeling and rivalry. IL well
known that neither OF these gentlemen n parucu-
larry fond Of the other. when Schenck discovered
that BaiDe's original cast Of the committees had
Butler second on the list Of the ways
aud means he insisted that no should not only not be
put there but that Butler shouid 70 on the commit
tee entirely, which he did. The debate to-day shows
that, whether Butler Ii on the Committee OF Ways
and Means or nor he proposes TO watch its chair
