General Oates of Alsbams-"Mr.

dlers, living and dead, 1 call for the pss-
sage Of the BILL"
Every one thought this appeal from the
chief would fetch the Colonel, but the

THE FIGHT IN THE HOUSE,.
special 10 the Gazette.
WASHINGTON, June The Hon
William 81. Kilgore has distinguished
himself for independence Of action and
thought in reference to his individual
views of what is right and proper. With
Mr.. Oates OF Alabama he persisted I'D OBJ
iec,ipg to the consideration of the bill
resting the rank of General for the pro-
motion of General Sheridan. Els opp
sition was based purely on principle.
Colonel Kilg0re maintained there was
not only no necessity for creating
the position, but that it proceeded from
! sickly ssntimentality that needed
putting down. II was but the beginning,
be ssid, Of move to give Mrs. Sheridan
$4,000 per year in the event OF the Gan

besieged Mr.. Kilgore to withdraw his ob-
lections, among them the Republican
leader, Tom Red Of Maine, out the
doughty Texan WAS obdurate as flint.
Finally Mr.. Mills OF Texas, holding the
bill in his hand and walking down the
aisle with somewhat Of dramatic
air, said, "Mr. Speaker, in the
name Of the Confedera e soldier
living and dead call ior the passage OF
this bill"
Mr.. Kilgore renewed his objection and

of the Sheridan bill would not slow any
thing else to be done. At last Mr.. Oates
left the floor and the House succeeded in
getting the bill up for consideration.
Nearly every member on the Democratic
side took q turn in arguing
with Mr.. Kiigore. A dispatM
was read saying that Sheridan hsd ~
quired il tho bill had passed. Finally.
Mr.. KiIgore said he was opposed to this
class Of legislation on principle, and
would withdraw his objaNion if the vote
