Washington Nothing done in the Ar
kansas case.

We copy from the St Louis Washing
ton correspondent of the 24th 1t will
be seen that Judge Poland was no, able
to get up the Arkansas report--and it is
not unlikely it may be STAYED of to the
close of the session and not reached be
fore adjournment
Things were lively in the house all day
to day. There was jolly scramble in
the b ginning among the chairnen of
half dozen committees privileged to re-
port at any time. Mr. H. Boardman
Smith Of the committee on elections
modestly asked an hours consideration
of the Joint resolution proposing amend
ments to the constitution in the matter Of
elec,ing president and vice-presidcnt, but
Gen Coburn of the Alabama committee
popped up Immediately and demanded
that his caucus force bill should have at
tention first This aroused Grandpa Po
land and he insisted that nothing should
be done until the Arkansas report had
been considered, Mr.. Hoar of the Lou
isiana committee piped in forthwith with
aplea for hearing, and then .Conger add
ed word or two to show that the Vicks
burg outrage committee had more rights
than any Of them. The nuddle was in.
creased by Garfield moving to go into
committee of the whole on the sundry
civil appropriation bill. This last mo.
ton was higher than any of them. how
ever, and the house concluded it would
rather go to business than open the
sluicc gates Of fpolitical debate by taking
up the reports of any of the special com
mittees. The sundry civil appropriation
bill was therefore taken up but failed to
cut off the political discussion as the bill
was full of opportunities for that sort Of
thing, aud in consequence there was q
rulAling cross-irc be ween both sides all
day long, the discussion growing 50 hot
at times that there was perfect pandc-
monium Of confusion. IL was generally
received as mere foretaste Of what is to
come, as soon as any of the political re-
ports which were ignored this morning
are taken up. Everybody sees that there
will be hot time, and though the Demo
Gratis would gain most by letting the
other side fight the thing out among
themselves, it is evident that they wont
be content without getting their own say
