WAsaISGToS, January 3l.-During the Pre-.
cc.dines yesterday in the House Speaker
Blaine and General Butler had private con.
lrsvcrsr which excited universal talk among
members. General Butler went up 10 the
desk and urged the Speaker TO makea ruling
which would give the Republicans an i'm.
mediate advantage over the Democrats.
The Speaker explained that by 20 doing he
would violate the rules himself. General
Butler became excited. and expressed very
profsne contempt for the rules, aud again
urged the Speaker TO do as be desired. The
speaker replied that the course General But
lcr suggested was revolutionary. General
Butler replied by expressing his utter indif-
ference even if it Was revolutionary. He
then tried to have the Speaker agree TO en-.
terrain An appeal If lie (Butler) made his
point, and let the House decide without any
explanation or protest from the Speaker.
This the latter refused, claiming that he
must rule iDpariially aud fairly to both sides,
without regard to his own feelings. Soon
afterward the Speaker left the CHAR aud took
Il sea. on the floor. General Butler there
ed bis attack, but the Speaker was un-
moved.
General Butler next wanted the Speaker
TO entertain motion TO adjourn till Sunday,
thus giving days session before Monday.
This The Speaker refused with warmth. He
held that the House could proloug Satur-
days session through Sunday, but formally
10 adjourn to meet on Sunday was very
different matter, and he would not entertain
such q motion. General Rutlcr protested
that police court could adjourn TO meet on
Sunday, aud he thought it strange If the
highest court in the land could not do what
police court could. Finally General But
her became greatly enraged at being so ef-
fectuaiy battied By the Speaker, and turning
on him charged him with leaving him but.
ler) off the Reconstruction Committee. To
this the Speaker replied with great warmth
that General Butler knew bis statement wa,
erroneous, and knew that he had declined a
position on the Reconstruction Committee
when it was offered him. At this point fur
ther controversy was broken OF.

DARING ROBBERY OF AN EXPRESS MESsEN-
GER.-Men,ph,s, February l.-Sa.urday eve
ming last ii man giving the name OF W. r.
Parker rented the basement OF the knicker-
booker building, at Is Madison street, for
the purpose. as he stated, of opening a stock
insurance office, and put up q sign with the
name Of W. r. Parker & Co., and placed an
old dcsk and q few chairs in the back part OF
the office, which has rear entrance through
an alley. This morning John Brady, a mes
senger of the Southern. Express Company,
who delivers all valuable packages, entered
Parkel'S office TO deliver package said TO
contain $40 addressed w. r. Parker & Co. J,
and expressed from ColliDsvilie, Tenn. Brady
asked to see member Of the firm, and made
known his business. There were two white
men and three negroes standing behind the
counter. Brady presented his rcceipt-boos,
and at the same time threw parcel contain
ing large number of money-packages on
the counter. At this moment rope was
thrown around bis neck and bag drawn
over his head, and he was beaten to a state
of almost insenSibility. His cries had at
tracted attention, aud as the street was full
Of people a crowd soon gathered, but the
robbers had secured the pouch and escaped
by the rear passage. At present there is no
clue to their whereabouts. Brady is dan-
gerously if not fatally injured. Persons at
the express office have no present means of
knowing or estimating the amount of the
loss.
L1ter.-It is now believed that the men
who robbed the express messenger this
morning crossed the river 10 skif within
half an hour after the robbery was commit
