SENATE.-Mr. Ingalls, called up his resolu-

and Sparks to account, and was proceed

hold them up to public contumely and
scorn, when Mr.. Cockrell came in. The
latter gentleman interrupted to ask what

edge on at the time, replied rather sharply,
and the Missouri senator said:
"The senator might have answered po-
lite question"
1.-THE senator from Missouri is incapable
OF asking apolite question, retorted In
gals.
"And the senator from Kansas is inca
pable OF answering gentleman, said
Cockrell growing red in the face.
II shall never have the opportunity OF
doing 80 as long as the senator from Mis-

yellow.
Then he pursued his argument detailing
with vividness the suffering OF the settlers OF

HoUsE.-The bill extending the bonded
debt of the pacific railroads seventy years
was considered through out the day. The de-

Mr. Crisp of Georgia upon Mr.. Holman.

playing with his spectaces, arose and shrek

bald head had been growing redder and red

the glass ceiling, as utterly ignoring the

AS he performed this dental operation
with a thunderous tone, Crisp stood and
glared for moment and dropped into his
seat, while Springer leaned over his desk
and shook copy OF report at Crisp, and
in a voice weak with emotion said: And

Then as il aware OF en- apparently unpar-
liamentary action, he compromised on two
fingers, which he shook at Holman threat

here became SO great that the speaker was
forced to interrupt all proceedings and send
members to their seats.
