 Recess till o'clock. ! PRESCOTT, March S.-The matter complaint of the Yuma prison invssti- gation committee against Wardvell came up in committee of the whole last night and Duncan exposed the military record Of Wardwell, and proved beyond doubt that Wardwell has been travelling upcn record that he never earned. His big biography which has been frequent ! ly published, is only condensation of lies, as his name IS not mentioned in the army register or in any of the standard histories of the late war. Duncan handled the ass of the Huaehucas with out gloyea
 Wsriwell replied, but Duncsa's eI- pose vas so complete that his answer was oily drvel.
 Graves then bounced on him and com pletely demolished him, calling him a military fraud and an imposter and branded him as q knave.
 However much everybody regrets the event that gave rise to the occasion, still al believe Wsrdwell merited tho foggirg he got.

 PRESCOTT, March 9.-The session did not adjourn until si1 o'clock this mOrn- ing.
 The appropriation bill passed the House with but few amendments. The Council got the bill at four clock in the afternoon and discussed the bill for five hours, making changes in few particulars and not concurring in those of tho House. It wus returned to the House at eleven o'clock last night and the House refused to concur in the amendments by the Council.
 4 joint resolution passed both Houses to adjourn at F o'clock. midnight, and fear was apparent that no sppropri- ation bill would pass this sessIon. Within tAree minutes of twelve o'clock the vote was reconsidered by which said resolution was passed.
 A conference committee was then sp- pointed aud resulted Tn t ,e Council re- ceding from all its amendments with the exception of one. After several rounds of excitement the Council gave way to rhe House in all matters. When the ac- ion of the Council was announced, loud applause resulted for several minutes. The Democrats said 1t was their one victory during the session; that they were now even for killing many of ther bills. An extra clause WAS inserted in the Appropriation bill allowing members their extra pay. The House was at first unanimous, while the Council fought it bitterly and the Re- publicans. The opinion of the Attorney General was called for, and he construed the section as worded 10 favor and this resulted in the Democrats gaining strength enough to carry that section. After the course of the Democrats in the Appropriation bill. the less they say of the Republicans in regard to their course on the freiKhts l and fares, the better Some of their do- Ings in the return of the bill to the | House changed their votes aud they | voted against extra pay. After hearing the remarks of the Republicans in the CouGcIl they will have to donate it to the school funds, or call i. political cun- combe.
 Will leave for home tomorrow via PheniI. Snyder and Fawcett leIs this morning.
