WASHINGTON, April 5.-Quite a sharp
personal debate took place in the House to-
day, just before the close of the session, be-
tween Messrs. Swami, of Maryland, and
Butler of Massachusetts. MIR. Swami, on u
previous occasion, had spoken in decided
terms OF Buffers revolutionary course, and
had said that his cheeks ought to Jingle
with shame while calling the Democrats
his friends. Mr.. Butler to-day replied, &C.
cusing him of having become Mayor of the
city of Baltimore as a KNOWN othlng
Mr.. Swami admitted that he had been
KNOWN othing, and as one, had followed
the leader of the Republican party in Mary
land-Henry Winter Davis. In his (Swann's)
public life of twenty-five years he had dis
bursed SIT 100000, and not one dollar had
stuck to bis hands, nor had he abstracted q
single spoon, and he would like 70 know If
the member from Massachusetts could say
as much. Mr.. Swami said that when
General" Butler went to Baltimore at
the commencement of the war he hoisted
his flag on Federal Hill and then luxuriated
at hotel for three days. Altogether the
debate was the most personal and acrimonl-
Gus of the session.
