charge,

At 2:l5 p. N. yesterday the General As
sembly adjourned sine die after a session Of
ninety-three daye.
A committee from both houses waited
on the Governor and he informed them that
he had no further communication to make.
The Governor compiimented the msmbersfol
their arduous abors, which he hoped would
prove of benefit to the entire State.
He, however, informed the committee that
he had withheld hia approval to two bills,
one to lease out the oyster beds of the State
for period of fifteen years at an annual
rental OF 20 per cent. for the hr5t and so
per cent. for each succeeding year; the 9th.
or the one abolishiDg the system which per-
mitted the admittanOe of any patients in the
various State lunatic aSylum5. The Gov
ernor's reason for not approving this bill, it
Ia said was because he feared that to enact
such law would occasion a deficit in the
allowances OF the asylum5. This system OF
pey patients has existed almost ever since
the first asylum was opened in the State.
In the Senate Mr. Lovenstein presented
report from the committee on public insti-
tutions. which WINS laid Oh the table.
A resolution regretting Senator Heaton's
absence was adopted.
The oint committee appointed to exam

Spst in the House.

Proceedings 10 the United States House
of Representatives. yesterday were enlivened
by personal alteration between Mr.. Can"
non, OF Illinois, aud Mr.. Miiken, OF Maine
in which personalities ware INDUCED in bur
before the session ended their differences
were adjusted.
A bill called up appropriating S20G 900 for
public building at San Jose, Cal, was the
object Of vigorous attack from Mr.. Cannon,
of Illinois. he criticised the action OF the
Committee on Public Buildings and Grounds,
and alluded to the pork in the pot" In
his own town of Danvila, he said, the post
Office site was leased for 500 year.
Mr.. Miliken retorted that nobody doubt
cd that the gentlemau's town was cheap
town. He said he would endeavor TO get
along with his constituents without the lee
ture of the gentleman from Illinois. 1t 1t
were not for his friendly feelings towards
the gentleman from Illinois be would sug.
gest, further, that be had never seen man
attempt to impute TO another man that be
had pork ia the pot" that he was not the
first fellow to get his hand into the pot.
Mr.. Cannon, approaching Mr.. Millikeu,
asked the gentleman to be kind enough to
explain his last remark. He understood
the gentleman to say that he never know a
man to cry stop thief" that he was not try
ing to steal something
Mr. Mliken said that the gentleman had
severely ref 1cted upon the committee, and
had talked about people having pork in
the pot" He Mr.. Mlllker did not cav
that the gentleman had pork In the pot, y
but he did Say that were it not for his friend
IL relations with the gentleman he would
make the general remark that the man who
cried out "stop thief" was the frat to steal.
He did not desire a personal controversy
with his friend, but when the gentleman al
tackled the committee the way he did he
was justified in his reply. he did not seek
quarrel with his friend but he would not
run away from it.
Mr.. Cannon said that he had criticised the
committee, as he had right to do. Hs
had not criticised the gentleman person
ally nor had be imputed aught against
the personal integrity of the gentleman.
And If the gentleman" he continued, lin his
zeal sought by innuendo, or by intimstion, to al
lege that if it had not been for his friendly rea.
tions with me he could urge aught against my
character, or otherwise, here and now let us have
it"
As he was uttering these words he was slowly
approaching Mr. Milliken, and as he finished his
sentence he tapped that gentleman on the sboul-
der, amid the laughter of the House. Throughout
the coloquy both gentomon manifested good
deal of excitement but the House was very good
humored and thoroughly enjoyed the controversy,
which was ended by Mr.. Milliken disclaiming any
intention to insnuate anything against the gem
tlemsn, who was as nearly perfect as any man In
the world

MR. SHERMAN rose in his place in the

OF that body would be lowered If Senator
Cal's true assertion that Senator Chambers
action Was oowardly, were not censured.
Does Senator Sherman think the dignity OF
the Senate has been raised by stopping up
the keyhol.s and purifying up the cracks in
the hinges Of the doors of the Senate, by
removing the telegraph operators and the
correspondents from the corridor in rear Of
the reporters gallery, and in making the
door keepers sit ten fset away from the
doors, all for the ridiculous purpose OF keep
ing secret what the members Of the Senate
themselves tell Or does he think it com
