A Tilt BETWEEN BUTLER AND FARMS
WORTH. In the House of Representatives
Wednesday remarkable scene occurred be-
tween Gems. Butler and Farnsworth. The
Deficiency Appropriation Bill was u..der con-
sheraton, and there had been some so .rring
between the gentlemen named over an amend.
ment relating to the Boston post oaice.
Wren the section was reported making an
appropriation for furniture for the Treasury
Department, Mr.. FarnswoItb opposed it. and
charged openly that Gen. Buffers house here
was partially furnished with furniture belong
ing to the government, taken from the Treasu-
ry Department.
This brought Gen. Butler to his feet. and he
replied with much EN- nhasis that the state.
ment was false, and proceeded to score Gen.
farnsworth pretty severely. As soon as he.
mad finished Gen. Farnsworth arose and said
ing his allegations
He said Gen. Butter had his house furnished
with mirrors taken from the Treasury DEPART
ment, ana IN addition TO that was part proprie-
Tor OF stone quarry in Massachusetts, and
procured government contract for supplying
stone, and further that he was engaged in
many disbonorable transactions, all of which
he could prove. 80 = =. y 80
During the speeches of both gentlemen the
members of the House crowded about their
desks to catch every word. -.
AT the conclusion of General Farnsworth's
speech, further debate was cut off without DIV
ing Gen. Butler a chance to reply. n

PAYMENT in GOLD.

Secretary Boutwell, has given notice
that the Government will be ready to
redeem in gold, one million of the five
twenty bonds, on the first of December
next, the calling in and payment of said
bonds being at the option of the Govern
ment. The Albany Evening journal, in
commenting upon the notice Of Secre-
tary Boutwell, says:
Now after this square, distinct pay
ment in gold, let the followers of Pen
dletOn talk about payment in greenbaeks
if they think best. After n hundred
millions have been honestly paid off in
coin, let Us see whether they Will de-
mand that a different rule shall be
adopted for the rest. We suppose they
will. Nothing short OF a thunderbolt
could stop them. Their devotion TO prac-
teal reputation andits kindred heresies
is organic ndingrained beyondthe reach
of any ordinary process. But however
this action may influence the leaders OF
he Democratic party, it cannot fail to
impress the people. The policy OF pay

A DESPERATE Revolt took place IN
the Nevada State prison, at Carson, on
Sunday 10th. So desperate was the
break, that a short account of it will rot
fail to enlist the interest of the reader.
Nearly every officer. and guard, and
several of the prisoners were wounded
1t. Gov. Denver was shot through the
hip. While the captain of the guard
was locking in the prisoners, he was
felled with a bottle, rendering him in
sensible. He was dragged into the cell
just as the other prisoners rushed on
him to finish him. The band then cut
a hole through into the apartments oe-
-cupied by the wife and daughter of the
ct. Gov, and entered before an alarm
was given. The prisoners were all
armed with slung shots and steel bars.
Denver met them, revolver in hand,
and fredat Frank Clifford, a horse thief,
the leader, hitting and stunning him,
but was soon knocked down, his skull
fractured and shot through the thigh by
the convicts with his own. revolver.

Robert D edman, a convict for life, was
accompanying Denver, and as the latter
fell, he seized chairs and fought like a
tiger, knocking down five prisoners,
one over the ba~llustrading and down
stairs. His heroic conduct saved the
life of the Ii. Gov. Dedman was event
ually knocked senseless and left for
dead, but was only slightly wounded,
as was Clifford, who made his way down
stairs, followed by the crowd, who at
once seized the armory of the prison,
the office, clothing, ammunition, &C
Mat Pixley, 4 of the proprietors Of
the Warm Springs Hotel, hearing the
firing, and imagining the cause, seized
his six-shooter, and in company with
a man named Perasish, rushed into, the
prison yard to assist the officers. The
convicts were still inside the guard
room; Pixley rushed up to. the window
and commenced firing at the prisoners
inside, when Charles Jones, 2 10 years
young man from White Pine, fired at
him through the window. The ball
from a rifle struck Pixley just below
the left eye, passing through his head.
he fell dead. Twenty-Five prisoners
then escaped, carrying OF their wounded,
and are still at large. The guards were
all wounded, several seriously I

The Chicago Post expresses sincere
qualification at General MeClellan's
attempted transfer to the New York
ContrOllership, for the following CO.
gent reasons IaHe never was much
of a controller of the army, but he
may do better in the walks of peace.
We will yogch for bis personal hon
esty; he willneYer take a cent-not if
that cent makes the slightest resist
ance. If there is any money that
needs to be taken, he will appaoach it
carefully with rihe-pits and zig-zags ;
will throw up q redoubt feminist it
will drag in the columbiads-then he
will sit down on one and wait for re-
Inducements. No danger of his ever
takinga cent clandcstinely. He never
takes anything that way. He could
not even take the mumps without
issuing a bulletin
