WAsHINGToN, Jan. 22.-There was u
lively wrangle in the House of Representa-
tives this afternoon. on resolution to in
vestgate the report that certain tablets
concentrating the Union victories had
been removed from cannon at the Norfolk
navy yard. The Democrats opposed it by
trying to atiix obnoxious amendments.
The Republicans refused to vote on them,
and the House was left without a quorum.
The Democrats tried to get the resolution
out of the way by moving to withdraw the
report and send it back to a committee
ThelRepublicans objected.to the act as un-
parliamentary. Then was crowded into
one half hour the most exciting political
debate that has been presented to the
House during the present session. 1t was
opened by Boutelle who promised his di-
rect speech upon the resolution
with remark calling attention to
the fact that the first legislation
of the House had been the passage by
luminous consent of the bill removing the
political disabilities of the eX-Contederates,
who had waited more than 20 years before
discovering Il desire to be placed in the line
of eligibility to appointment under the eN-
eCutive department of the United States.
In contrast with this, he (Boutelle) had
been tauntingly informed that 10 minutes
