WASHINGTON, March 16.-An alterca-
ton occurred yesterday evening at the Ma
tional Hotel, in this city, between Senator
ingalls, and Hon. Robert McBratney, both
of Kansas, which came near being serious.
The trouble between these gentlemen orig
mated from the fact that McBratney recent
ly sent communication to the Vice Pres
ident, asking that memorial sent to the
Senate by certain citizens arkansas during
the closing hours of the last session, be re-
ferred to the Committee on PRIVILEGES and
Elections. This memorial, it will be re-
membered, related to The validity of Ingalls,
election, and requested the Senate to in
Quire into the effect which the York trans.
action had on the election of the present in
cumbent. McBratney claims to represent
the mem 1rialists, and he individually
asserts that abundant proof can be forth
coming to sbGW that ingalls, was simply 8
confederate in the conspiracy which ended
IN che downfall of "Subsidy Pomeroy.n
Making this assertion In the presence of
ingalls,, last evening, the Senator became
belligerent, and threatened the attorney
with personal violence unless he retracted,
in the presence of witnesses, the assertion
of his collision with the eonspirators
against Pomeroy. High words passed on
both sides, when the parties were finally
separated by mutual friends.
The feeling among Kansas politicians
hor - - Aha
effort win be made to get up case against
ingalls,, not only on the conspiracy count,
but also because of his connection with the
bribing Of Judge Delehay, which latter is
matter of record.
Ecclesiastical Bad Blood over the
ChapIaincy of the Senate.
About a week ago, after the Rev. j. P.
Newman had been elected Chaplain of the
Senate, Senator Cameron, of Pennsylvania,
entered motion to reconsider the election.
There was good deal of curiosity as to
Cameron's object. 1t now appears that the
movement was the result Of little dis
agreement among some of the lights of the
Methodist Church, DR.. Tiffany, who sue
ceeds DR.. Newman as pastor of the Metro
politan Church, which the President at
tends, was a candidate for the position Of
Chaplain Of the Senate, and was backed
by Bishop Simpson, who, it is stated, has
grown jealous of Newmsn's influence at
the White House. Simpson, so the story
goes, was anxious to defeat Newman, and
get him out of Washington. Newman,
however, was backed by Grant, who, it
is stated, has taken a dislike to
Bishop Simpson, because the latter is
for offices for bis friends. Morton, acting
as the Presidents friend, nominated New
man, and had him elected one day when
the friends of DR.. Tiffany were not on
guard. After Cameron made his motion,
some person friendly to Newman went to
the Pennsylvania Senator and told him of
the fight in progress among the lights of the
church. This person also informed Cam
eron that he was being made the cats paw
of the Simpson tiffany party, whereupon
the veteran wire-puller withdrew his mo-
ton to reconsider.
To show his confidence in Newman, the
President not only backed up his claims for
the position of Chaplain, but appointed him
TO the position of Inspector of Consulates,
with a rowing commission to go around the
world at a salary Of six thousand dollars
year in gold and expenses paid.

WASHINGTON, March 16.-The Demo-
Gratis in the Senate are changing the first
views expressed by many of them regard
ing the Morton resolution in the Caldwell
case. Stevenson, Merrimau, McCreary,
and probably Thurman, will support Nor
ton, and possibly Davis and Cooper will
also do so. With two exceptions, one of
them Bogy, all the Democrats have ex-
pressed themselves in conversation as in
favor of expulsion.
