In the House of Represeutatives, yesterday,
Mr. Butler INDUCED in some remarks relative
to Mr. Swami, of Maryland: the latter gentle
man replied, and personal debate Of great
acrimony took place between them. Among
other things, Mr.. Swami gave an account of
how Butler had deported himself in Balti-
more in May, 1861, when he lay for three days
at the house of friend in a state of intoxica
ton. Butler proclivities for approprating to
his own use that which belongs to other people,
and his order in relation to the women of New
Orleans, were all reiterated and commented upon
but in such way as they were never before
presented in the House Of Representatives
Butler denied the allegations Of Mr.. Swami,
and abused that gentleman. He appeared to
be in great rage, and Was quite violent. But
Ter finds that he can no longer hector and
buster in the House, without being met, and

The DARIES CANAL-A letter i'll the New
York Herald asserts that the new route, for
the Darien Canal, Of which such great hopes
are entertained. was in reality discovered By i
Frenchrnan several years ago. This letter says ::
Il. three years ago made the acquaintance OF
VI Louis Lacharme, an accomplished French
engineer, who had been attracted to Colombu
some years before b. the discovery OF gold IN
that country In January and February, 1860:
this gentleman, at the solicitation Of persons
interested in the Darien Canal project, had
made an exploration Of, the isthmus from the
Pacific side, entering the Gulf of San Miguel
ascending the Tuyra and Pava rivers and de-
seending the Caquirri on Cacarca river; the
route being precisely that described in the latest
letters from the present [, : party. Although
the canal project for various reasons was not
carried out at the time, NJ Lachsrme always
expressed the greatest confidence in the practi.
cability of the route he had discovered, and
subsequently prepared Il memorandum Of his
expedition, which was published in Putnam 5
Magazine for March, 1869, with map exhib-
iting clearly the track shown i'll the Herald map
Of the lst instant The discoveries were com.
municated to the authorities at Washington.

Old Dominon at Peari>burg. the amount Of
the aforesaid negotiable notes in Confederate
States treasury notes. under authority OF IN
act Of the General Assembly Of Virginia, p;l>>-

Tho Convention.

The second day Of the Convention de.
veloped, as.,ve Anticipated; the spirit
and purpose Of the body. It has been
seen that various resolutions were pre-
sented looking to the ends sought to be
attained by the members. The firm yet
fair tone that charaoterizes these propo-
aitions are suggestive of the earnest and
impartial way in which the Convention
seeks to alleviate the evils of our situa-
eion.
The evening session was one OF an
interesting character. Additional pro-
positions were submitted. The. commit
tee. in charge of the subject. made re-
port in favor OF proportional representa-
ton. After some discussion, the report
was adopted, with but few dissenting
voices: The Convention has thus de-:
clared in favor Of this great govern
mental principle, and has thus put itself
on high ground and in theline of genu-
inc progress. We ere grati6ed to find
that this question has received such
general and decided support.
Yesterday the third day Of the Con-
vention-was not q busy one. except on
the part of the committees. However,
several important reports were made and
adopted. The Convention meets this
morning, OF 10 O'Clock, when it is ex-
peosed that the committee Of eleven will
be ready to report. On the second day
the Convention was reinforced by the
arrival OF additional able and influential
delegates. '
