Yesterday was what IS termed a
field day in congress. MessFs. Robe
son, Of New Jersey, and Whitthorne,
of Tennessee, gave expression Of long
pent feeling on the naval question and
personalities were hurled with a yio-
hence that reminded one of the days
before the war.
On the question of reconstrueting
the navy. Mr.. Robson held that it
was far more necessary to maintain a
complete navy, than to contribute so
literally to an extraordinary growth of
the army. The appropriations that
were now being made for the support
Of the navy, be claimed, were simply
for the comfort and convenience of
the officers and others who composed
the personnel OF that branch of the
service. He then proceeded to reply
to the newspaper attacks made upon
him while he was secretary of the navy.
He said that such attacks were mali
cious ard Iibelous. He had been
charged with an extraYagant expendi-
ture of the appropriations, This he
denied most emphatioally. Mr.. Robe
son WIS very earnest in his delivery,
and was listened to with close atten-
ton, and more than once expressions
were heard on various sides to the
effect: 'TThank Heaven, the old man
has chance at last.
While Mr. Robson was closing the
debate on the bill, at 1880 o'clock, he
took occasion to make some scathing
remarks in referring to his administra-
ton Of the navy department, and the
reflections which have been cast upon
ii. He referred, in the most seorehing
language to the action of the Forty
fourth congress, which, under the Sage
of Gramercy Park, came into power
with the cry of reform, which sounded
much like the rebel yell !! and, without
mentioning any name, referred to Mr.
WhiItborne, of Tennessee, in the bit
terest terms, Referring to the inVes-
LEGATIONS undertaken by that congress,
and the men qualified to carry them on
IN the manner they were, he SAID II
there was a man VINO was cnargeC,
whether true or false win Purlo'hlhg

At this juncture Mr.. Whitthornc
stepped directly in front of Mr.. Robe
son and excitediy exclaimed: " That

This created a roaring sensation, and
every member sprang to his feet and
'ushed forward anticipating personal
set to. Mr.. Peelle, of Indiana, asked
hat the language be taken down. Mr..
Robson, waving dissent with both
lands, protested by saying: d" Oh,
