The Senate MuddIo Over the vir9inia BILL
The Senate 10 evidently getting muddled on the
virginia question. After an exceedingly drowsy
deoate towards the hour OF adjournment the friends
and opponents OF the bill were evidently equally
anxious to come to some determination. The de-.
bate, however, was reopened by an unexpected tilt

bills. great deal Of quibbing followed when q
proposition was made to fix four O'Clock tomorrow
afternoon for vote. BY this time 1t was quite late
ana several unsuccessful attempts had been made to
adjourn. 1t was finally agreed that the vote should
Oe taken on the pending bill, with amendments or
both bills with amendments, as the Senate might

Hcaied Discussion In the House-IittIe con.
pIeasantness'' Among Members.
The discussion IN the House to-day which orig-

report OF the special commissioner Of the revenue
Wells was bitter, and to extent personal In Its
character 1t developed the fact that there is great
deal OF feeling between the protectionists and the
free traders and that the latter are decidedly in the
ascendant. Kelley and Logan came near having
personal diriculty during the debate, and as ir
was, they contradicted each other so iatly that
1t amounted TO the lie direct. There were
loud words, but fortunately no blows, Logan finally
telling Kelley that he didn't want to have anything

mo; nor don't want to have anything to DO with
you; but what you have said amt true that's al.n
When Logan had finished he went back to where
Kelley sits and soms Violent gesticulations took
place. but there was blood letting Lanin, In his
speech on the subject, told the simple truth about
the whole matter.
When the League Island bin was up there was q
.'litte enpleasantness" between Messrs. sconeld,
Dawes and GARFIELD, which created some excitement
and was quite spicy while It continued. Scofield,
who 10 at once cool ana sarcastic, started out with
accusing Dawes OF opposing the League Island bill
because the Pennsylvania delegation refused to vote
Tor him for Speaker. He also limited that Garfield,
from whose seat Dawes made his speech the other
day, was In c0llusion with Dawes, and that as
consideration for this aid Dawes had introduced
bill appropratnR $4,000 to enable Garfield to inter-
view certain New York brokers' This brought both
Dawes and Garfield to their feet They repelled Sco-
ned's charge az unworthy Of him, and an insult to
the Speaker and the House. Scofeld, however,
kept on reteratng the charge that Garfield had the
81, 600 appropriated to give him chance to inter-
view the gold brokers, Garfield repeating from his
seat, "For my benefit do you meanf" The affair
ended, however, without bloodshed.

It seems Che T9th about the Lopez-Garcia sensa-

Madame said Mrs. Fish with stately manner,
"Mr. Lopez is guest here"
Madame Garcia. on receiving this polite rebuff,
observed that If Lopez was to he there she Madame
Garcia felt obliged to retire. Mrs. Fish, in reply to
tns, simply bowed stlflly, and Madame Garcia with
ner attendants Immediately left the house.
The above is the version Of the difficulty given by
the friends OF young Lopez. Madame Garcia's
friends give another turn to the story. They say
that the difrlculty began in dispute between
Madame Garcia and Mrs. King, of this city, about
