The tate OF the bill in the senate is very
uncertain. It is doubtful whether it will
be taken up by that body during the pres

action in the senate.

SENATE.--Mr. Ingalls, called up his res oll.
ton in the senate calling Messrs. Lamar
and sparks to account, and was proceed
ing in his peculiar and haunting manner to
mold them up to public contumely and
s,orn when Mr. Cockrell came in. The
batter gentleman interrupted to ask what
was going on. MIR. Ingalls, having a razor
edge on at the time, replied rather sharply,
and the Missouri senator said:
1.-THE senator might have answered q po-
lite question:"
The senator from Missouri is incapable
OF asking polite question: retorted In
gals.
And the senat or from Kansas is inca
ra''n vi answering q gentleman, SAID
toCkrell, growing rcd in the lace.
II shall never have the opportunity Of
doing so as long as the senator from Mis-
souri, is asking questions" replied Ingalls,,
the bilious hue OF his countenance growing
yellow.
Then he pursued his argument, detailing
with vividness the suffering OF the settlers OF
the West and Northwe from Sparks ex-
traordnary and erratic conduct. The
resolution was adopted almost unanim ous
ly, and then Ingalls, sauntered over and
laid his hand upon Cockrells shoulder.
The latter looked up find became crimson.
Ingalls, passed some remark, and the SEN
ator from Missouri rose and finally smiled.
Two minutes after they We're sauntering
arm in arm across the floor OF the Sc nate.
HoUsE.-The bill extending the bonded
debt OF the pacific railroads seventy years
was considered through out the day. The de-
MIR. Crisp OF Georgia upon Mr.. Holman.
Every ear was strained to hear the con.
troversy, and Holman, who was nervously
playing with his spectaces, arose and Shrek
ed out question: Crisp $ full face and white
Dald head had been growing redder and red
der, until his countenance reselnbled q
tUrneresque view OF Venice. and his power
iul voice fairly came back in echoes from
the glass ceiling as utterly ignoring the
greet Director he cried:
And these men talk OF attorneys. 1t
either one Of them insinuate, suggest or in
intimate that am an agent or attorney,
or counsel for, or in any way interested in
any railroad, hurl it in his teeth as un-
QualtiedIy false.
AS no performed this dental operation
with thunderous tone, Crisp sto cd and
gared for moment and dropped into his
seat, while Springer leaned over his desk
and shook copy of a report at Crisp, and
in al voice weak with emotion said: "And
hurl it back" Holman sprang to his
feet with Il book in his hand, his gaunt
frame trembling, his necktie Sigh Fly awry,
his voice trembling with anger, aud q big
CHEW OF tobacco Upon which his jaws work
ed nervously. He explained the figures he
had read and defended himself. He called
Crisp to account for unparliame ntary Ian
guage, and as he sat down the word 'at-
torney" again escaped him. Crisp turned
fairly purple. He sprang to his feet, and
raising his arm no halfcleuched his fist.
Then, as If aware of an apparently unpar-
lamentary action, he compromised on two
fingers, which he shook at Holman threat
eningly, and cried: ''Y on may say that
here but no where else. /" The confusion
here became SO great that the speaker was
forced to interrupt all proceedings and send
members Ia their sesfa 0 Ss 4ft Nh ts Ia IS ,t#455
