WASHINGTON, July l5.-The House
was thrown into . ANAL uprosr to-day
and lost three quarters of an hour in o
nersonal wranglc between Messrs.
iowery, of Indiana, and Glover, Of
Missouri, growing out OF the publica-
ton in the Record Of resolution which
was no part Of the proceedings. The
subject matter was something local to
Missouri, and hardly worth the space
for statement. Clover is the smallest
member, physically, in the House, but
is as pugnacious as n bee-martin.
lie professed to accept some dis
Chalmers Of Lowery, but contin-
ued to say that any member who said
or insinuated that he would perpetrate
fraud upon the Record was = black
guard and liar. This stirred the bile
in the Indiapian, and he responded,
after some circumlocuIion, that when
he wanted to engage in a controversy
with anybody he would select game
worth the candle. Mr. Daniel rose and
inquired Of tho Speaker if this language
was parliamentary. The Chair decided
it was not, bat was not able
to restrain the combatsnts. After
the House had adopted the resolution
providing for an inquiry into the man
ner in which the surreptitious matter
got into the Record, and had entered
upon District business, Mr.. Daniel
stated that if he had known Of the per-
sonal relations between the gentleman
from Indiana and the gentleman from
Missouri he would not have made the
inteIrogstory which he did few mo-
ments before. To outsiders 1t seemed
that il he end Mr.. Hemphill, in charge
Of District business, had not interfered
several hours would have been con-
sumed in a ridiculous quarrel of no in
terest to the country.
There is now no probability OF ad-
journment before August LIST, although
an experienced official said this MORN
ipg be thought Congress would adjourn
on the Goth instant. The Senate has
used up great deal Of time on the
Iiyer-and. hsrbor bill, and apparentlyto
little purpose, for the chances are that
unless the measure in its final shape is
not greatly changed from what it is at
present it will be vetoed by the Presi-
dent. This fear has suggested the va
rious propositions for horizontal cut.
The sundry civil bill will take st least
four days and may take five. Some
thing has been said to-day OF the
Senate's getting through with the APP
preparation bills snd leaving the Oleo-
margarine and other measures on the
calendar to 60 over until the next ses-
sion. But close watch on the course
Of business does not reveal any inten-
ton to hurry up things.
Senator Vance offered an amendment
to the general deficiency bill to-day APP
propriating 1850, 2O9.4 for the unpaid
salaries of postmasters.
Mr.. Barbour's declination has had
the effect Of drawing out number of
candidates, some of whom, at least,
are only so in the event the people do
not force Mr. Barbour to accept re-
nomination. There are indications that
q pressure will be brought by the peo-
pie on this gentleman, although his
position in the matter is regarded as
entirely sincere. Advices received here
are TO this effect. General W. Ii. F.
Lee, of Fairfax, and Mr.. Meredith, Of
Prince William, have strong support.
Some gentlemen here regard these two
gentlemen as having the greatest pro-
minence. sir. j. ". Foster is another
name mentioned in this connection.
MIR. W. W. Scott, OF Orange, is con-
sidered dark horse.
The situation in the Wilmington
Charlotte Sixth district of North Caro-
lima is something like that in Mr.. Bar.
bour's. The sitting member, Judge
Bennett, has powerful popular sup
port, but he has several times stated his
determination not to be q candidate.
Among the large number of those who
are in the field TO secure the nomination
is Lieutenant-Governor Stedman, OF
Wilmington.
In North Carolina the districts most
holly contested besides the Fourth
General Cox's) are those Of Messrs.
Skinner First, Green (Third), and Ben
nett Sixth.
The friends Of Mr.. Libbey in Nor
folk have written TO him that there is
strong probability Mr.. Goode will run
for Congress, in the event he is not
confirmed for the Office OF Solicitor
General. This news has moved Mr..
Libbey to 60 out and look after his
fences. | understand he will leave the
city tonight for Norfolk.
Mr.. Wise presented the petitions Of
sixty.two persons praying for the
passage Of eight bills-to wit : Those
repeating the timber-culture and desert
land acts providing for forfeiture of
railroad land grants; organizing Okla
homa Territory; opening the Sioux
reservation; prohibiting aliens from
holding land in the United States;
making presidential and congressional
election-days holidays and Furnishing
bribery directing disbursements OF at
least 100000 Treasury surplus, and
substituting treasury notes for bank
notes retired.

of Annie NJ. Smith, Of Accomack, re-
questing reference Of her war claim TO
the Court Of Claims.
