Mr. Cox, of New York, in the discussion IN
the House of Representatives yesterday, alu-
ded to Mr. Dawes of Mass, as 1.-THE honorable
member from Massachusetts,. MIR. Butler,
who was not paying much attention at the
time, caught the last remark. and inquired,
what gentleman from Massachusetts Mr..
Cox meant Here was Cox's chance, and he
paid back the "Shoo, fly" business with inter
est, by replying 81 meant the honorable gen
teman from Massachusetts,, MIR. Dawes. "
The retort, says the Washington PARROT, was 50
prompt and quick that Butler was utterly dis
comfted, and could not reply. The galleries
and the floor caught the point at once, and the
derisivc laughter that followed added greatly
to the embarrassment and annoyance Of Mr..
Butler.
