ANTHONY TURNER, PpC
The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1875-02-05

There was lively scene in the House
yesterday, growing out of some incorporate
words spoken in debate by Mr.. Brown, q
democratic member from Kentucky. Mr..
Browns language was not moro sdiscourteous
or more indecorous than has often been
heard in that body before in the recent
great degeneracy of parliamentary manners,
and the incentive to the unwonted excite
ment it occasioned was disrespect to the
Speaker. Mr.. Brown was proceeding in the
abusive strain which has of late years become
too common in the House, when Speaker
Blaine interrupted him with the inquiry
whether he intended his remarks to have
q personal application to any member of
the House. Mr.. Brown replied that he had
no such intention, and was permitted to con-
tinue his speech. But after few sentences
he proved that he had not been candid with
the Speaker by bringing his TRADE to
point against General Butler. 1t was
his treatment of the Speaker, and not
his offensive language about General
Butler, that kindled the House into o flame of
excitement Mr.. Brown was arraigned at
once, Mr.. Hale moving q resolution that he
be formally censured by the Speaker at the
bar OF the House and Mr.. Dawes Offering
resolution for expelling him. This led
to heated debate, which ended in
the adoption of Mr.. Hales resolution,
when Mr.. Brown went forward and received
the censure of the Speaker. We trust that this
econdalous and rooretta h1a ;rc;jant MAJ h-:,z
all the members to due sense of the propri-
cites of debate and contribute to the suppress
sion of offensive personalities.

The war In spain-ro 3. Continued.

The War In Spain-To BE Continued.
From the tenor of our special despatch from
villada there is scarcely . doubt that the
troops of the Spanish government entered
Pampeluna yesterday, and that the positions
OF the Carlists in advance of Estella have been
either captured or abandoned as untenable
because turned This was necessary conse-
quence almost of the mere presence on the
theatre OF operations Of a relieving army of
the numbers given; but this success is not
one over which the soldiers of Alfonso can
plume themselves extravagantly. It merely
restores the war to the well nigh hopeless DO
sition in which it stood Immediately before
Concha fought the battle OF Aarzuza. That
battle, it may be remembered, was practi-
cally for the possession Of Estella, an impor-
tant Carist depot, but of the greatest impor-
lance as necessary step to operations against
the mountain fortress of Guipuzcoa. Upon
the failure of the government troops in that
effort Carlos not only held his own but spread
himself out in the country from which his de-
feated enemy withdrew. made himself at
home among the supplies OF that country,
picked out a stronghold here and there at
which to fight an advancing army at the safest
distance from Estella, and, left too long to
himself, even set on foot the far from hope
