The AMENITIES OF DEBATE. The Wash
ington correspondent Of the New ork Tribune
gives the following account ola passage at arms
between Benjamin L. Butler anil Michael
&. Kerr during the debate on the bill for the
distribution OF The Geneva Award
Mr.. Butler, in his closing speech, made a
serious charge against VIM. NJ Evarts. He
said that Mr.. Evarts while the agent Of the
United States at the Geneva Conference, was
the paid attorney of the insurance companies,
and that he had since admitted it. Mr.. Butler
further accused him of being on the floor OF
the House advocating the claims Of the inSur-
ance companies to members. and said that he
had not changed the opinion of any honest
man who had heard both sides of the question.
The companies made over S2.OOO,OUO out OF
the war, and now they wanted to come 10 and
take - 0O0,00 Of the award that belonged to
claimants who had suffered actual loss.
In the course Of his speech, MIR. Butler got
up Il quarrel with Mr.. Kerr, during which each
accused the other Of talsehood two or three
tunes Mr.. Kerr had made vigorous speech
short time before III support of the Insurance
claims. MIR. Butler intimated that the altor-
ncy Of the companies had convinced MIR. Kerr,
AMI said that Mr.. Kerr had accompanied the
attorney to committee room, and had there
held a consultation with HIM. MI herr SAID
this was false. Mr.. Butler asked if he had not
talked with the attorney in the committee
room? Mr. Kerr acknowledged that he had
but denied that he accompanied him there.
Mr.. Butler said that this reply was an evasion
which admitted the truth Of his statement =
His purpose in referring to Mr.. kerr's consul
taion was apparently to change the opposition
to the bill To the Influence of the one-sided ar
gnmcnts and sophistries of Alr. Evarts. who was
the attorney meant When Mr. Butler made
his attack on Mr.. Evarts, Mr.. Kerr made .
thrust at him by asking him if he was not the
attorney 0! tic other claimants, and opposing
the insurance claims in their interest?
"No SIR bawled Mr. Butler at the top OF
his voice.
"We have heard it so stated, said Mr.
Kerr
II is false - replied Mr.. Butler. "There
are some men who have so little acquaintance
with an honest transaction that they don
know it when they see it.
''You are one Of that kind" rctortcd Mr..
Kerr
Mr.. Banks h re intcrpoScd with a point OF
order aud prevented the alteration from going
any further.

of the Board of Commissioners, to
whom was referred the proposition OF
Ed. Booking, Esq, to erect a building
on the Monroe street corner OF the Court
House lot, with power to act, met on
Saturday and declined to accept Mr.
Bookings proposition. The Committee
held that at the present levy, ninety
cents, the county can build new Court
House, worth s25O,OOO, in five years; ;
that, in conjunction with the city, a
building can be erected that will accom-
odate both city and county, in less than
that time, and that the erection OF q
building on the present Court House
grounds would lessen their value if the
county wishes to sell, or be in the way
if it should be deemed best to build q
new Court House on the site of the old
one.
