tAwAR \ OF WORDS.

change Angry W0rds--After theI Adjournment of the Senate-Lator the War Horses Shake Hands at the Earnest Solicitation of the other Democratic Senators - A Useless Discussion over the Word Late in the Resolution-Dog Laws in the House.
 HARTFORD, Feb. 5.-[Special. ]-The lemocratic members of the senate suc- ,eeded to-day in once more mixing up sffairs at the capitol and increasing the chances of a deadlock by useless discus ,ion over the word stlate" in the resolu- tion passed by the house this morning, and by their final action in the matter that of voting not to strike out the said | word .slate"-which sends the resolution | back to the house, and postpones action until Tuesday next.
 The House. The house came to order at Il 8. m., and after prayer by the chaplain several bills were put in and referred to their proper committees after which MT. Greene of Norwich moved that the senate resolu- tion, as regards a conference committee, be amended by having the word Hate" stricken out. The resolution, reads as follows: That a committee of conference, consisting of five senators and five representatives be ap- pointed to take into consideration the separate action of the senate and house of representa- tives the esubject of the late election of state officers and report thereon to their respective houses.
 MT. Greene said, in support of his motion, that he did not think the election was complete, and that it was not tech necally right to have the word in question in the resolution. He was also informed by certain democratic senators that the omission of the word would not influence the passage of the resolution when it again came before the senate. On this supposi- ton the house voted to omit the word and then adjourned until Tuesday next at o'clock p. m.
 The Senate.
 When the senate came to order the reso- lution as amended was immediately taken up and discussed for nearly two hours. Senators Fox, Cleveland and Holden thought that the house had some scheme back of their endeavors to have the word stricken out and there fore as general principles opposed it and wanted the word left in. Senators Pierce and Seymour, however, asserted that the word meant nothing whatever, as regards any scheme of the house to get the best of the senate, and as they had agreed to ac- cept the resolution as amended in the house they should stick by their word and do so. To Senator Pierce's idea, however, Senator Cleveland took violent aversion and in rather vigorous language accused Cono{0r piaroa of hoirrv inf hxy ho republicans in the matter, to which lan- guage the senator from the Fourth object ed and Senator Cleveland apologized.
 Following the discussion vote was taken on the motion to leave out the word, eight voting to leave it out and nine voting to have it remain. Those voting to have it remain in the resolution were Senators Cleveland, Holden, Fox, Robertson, Holli- han, Thayer, Lyman, Butler and Foster. Those voting to strike it out were Senators German, Pierce, Seymour, Shumway, Da- wis, Bridge, Palmer and Pinney. The house then adjourned until next Tuesday at 12 noon.
 AFTER ADJOURNMENT. Just after adjournment, as Senator Cleveland passed Senator Pierce on his l way to the cloak room, he made some re- marks as to the way the latter senator was pledging the others to do things which that he was going back on his party. To this Senator Pierce replied that until the senator from the First apologized for his | insulting language he need never speak tc him again. By this time the other sena tors present had induced Senator Cleve l land to retire to the ante-room where later MT. Cleveland and MT. Pierce shook hands and fixed up the breach.
