A Tilt I'm tho House,

There was passage ut arms on the floor OF
the House the other day between Messrs. War.
ner and Updegratf, of Ohio on the subject Of
pensions and their early aud prompt considera.
'tion, In which tho former, who is for delay,
rather got the worst of the scrimmage. 1t ap.
pears that Warner was good soldier during
the war, and is now enjoying pension, which
he secured early. He urged want of time to
answer the just claims of the soldier, aud Mr..
Updegraf replies that his colleague having
been successful for himself in his own pension
case, either considers these matters are not
worthy attention or else he has got some very
wild fiat initiation arithmetic, what might be
called metaphorical arithmetic, on hand re.
lating to the question. Mr. Warner then made
reference to the matter of rushing pensions
through the House, and denounced it as "mere
demagogism." To this Mr.. Updegraff made
reply that ''lf anybody understands the dema-
gogue business think it is my colleague" i"
There the matter dropped, and Warner sub
mitted TO tho castigation meeky. The Men,
bers Of the House, without distinction of
party, seem TO entertain the opinion that Mr..
Warner is rather strongly charged with "dema-
gogism," and hence Mr. Updegrafrs thrust
on this point called forth much merrimeut

passed the Senate few days since--came up
rs a special order, Mr.. Hamilton offered n sub.
stitutc therefor, providing that the principal
of the debt be recognized at the sum fixed IN
Mr.. McCuloch's bill, about $32OO0,0OO, aud
that upon it three per ceut per unpum
bo paid, aud that the new bouds issued
hereunder he exempt from all taxation
in Virginia, and the coupons be receivable for
all taxes except such taxes as 70 into the
school fund. The substitute further provides
that If on or bsfors the first ot June, 1880 tho
council of foreign bOudhOlders aud funding
association of tho United States of America
shall together or separately accept the terms
of the act they shall bc authorized to do tho
funding; or If they fail to accept, tho Govsrn-
ment may make like contract with other re-
sponsible parties.
The bill aud substitute were passed hy, aud
tho latter was ordered to DO printed, The in
PRODUCTION Of this substitute has produced
quite a sensation II is stated that the terms
of tho bin woro negotiated by prominent Con.
grcssmcn including Congressman Jorgonscn,
General w G. Wckham, vce'prosident of the
Chesapeake & Ohio railroad, and DIR. Il. IL.
Smith, who conferred in friendly spirit with
tue representatives of the boudholders, and
the movement is looked upon ~ detection of

Democratic senatorinl cauous.

The Democratic Senators held n caucus after
the adjournment of the Senate yesterday. 1t
was called with view TO preventing an en-.
barrassment, which the majority have fire..
quently had to encounter this session.
namely, that of finding themselves without II
sufficient number of their own party to make
quorum of the Senate. 1t was by common
conscut agreed that pairs ought not to bc
made without reserving tho right TO vote if
necessary to make n quorum.
The necessity for the existence of joint rules
between the two House was discussed and nd =
mitted, and after several suggestions had been
made, it was decided to refer the subject to the
Democratic members Of tho Committee on
Rules.
