Trouble Over the BiIl of Bennett o New York, Providing for the Admission of Fannie Driner,
 an Idiot Alien.

Washington, April 13.-Speaker Can non was distinctly in his element to- day when every indication pointed to a clash between MT. Dalzel1 (Pa ), and MT. Williams (Miss.) over the use Of certain sentences in a speech made by Mir. Hopkins (Ky.)
 Immediately after the journal had been read the House plunged into the consideration of a resolution offered by Mir. Gardner (Mass.) to have ex- punged from the records certain re- marks ref1eeting upon the integrity of MT. Bennett (N. Y.)
 Acrimonious words were general The debate grew in intensity of expression and the minority leader MT. Williams. had severely impugned the motives of MT. Bennett who had secured the pass age of joint resolution some days ago waiving the immigration laws in the case of an idiot.
 Finally Mir. Dalzell was drawn into the discassicn and clash seemed im- minent between the Pennsylvanian and the Mississippian, when Speaker Cam non ordered both gentlemen to their seats and directed that the unparlia mentary language used by MT. Dalzell and Mir. Williams be stricken from the record as both men were speaking out of order. The resolution was finally passed.
 The postoffce appropriation bill was completed during the days aftoe roll call on the Southern fast mail subsidy pro- vision which was retained in the bill
 When the House convened at noon today, Chaplain Couden called the at- tention of the members to the sacred ness of the day, and incorporated m his prayer a hymn on the subject of the present season.
 I> zf the journal trouble broke out in the House over certain paragraphs which appear in the speech of MT. Hopkins (Ky.), printed in this mornings re- cord, and to which MT Gardner, (Mass.) objected.
 Gardner starts Trouble.
 Mir. Gardner, under question of the first personal privilege, presented a resolution striking from the record cer- tain reflections on the motives prompt ing the passage 1of a bill through the House by MT. Bennett (N. Y) author izing the admission of Fannie Diner a pronounced idiot, which Mir Hopkins said in the speech was prompted by the steamship companies"
 MT Hopkins further animadverted on the part played by Goldfogie, New York, in also supporting the bill.
 MT Goldfogie objected to the follow ing remarks of MT. Hopkins. So com pleteIy was this house deceived that my friend, MT. Goldfogie, wanted to ex- tend the resolution to cover all such cases and let in all idiots"
 Mir. Goldfogie, immediately after the reading, in a speech bristling with ang- CT said the gentleman from Kentucky (Mr. Hopkins) had 'meanly misrepre- sented him." that he had taken advan- tage of the right given by the House to "extend his remarks in the record" and had inserted in the record insinua- tions that were "unqualifiedly false"
 The. house was in confusion over this statement. The speaker rapped loudly for order. but MT. Goldfogie insensible to the pounding of the gavel insisted as he took his seat that 1t was the meanest speech he had ever heard"
 MT. Gardner, (Mass.) spoke earnestly in behalf of MT. Bennett, saying that he was not only a splendid legislator but one of the best lawyers in the House and the imputation of dishonest motives ought not to go unchallenged.
 Mir. Hopkins, (Ky.) entered the House during the progress of the debate. He waited until MT. Gardner had conclud- ed, and then rose to reply He said that on several occasions. both Mir Bennett and Mir. Goldfogie had injected remarks into his speeches on immigra- tion and had taken occasion to put him wrong DeIOTe tHe peOple OI ms OlSJr1Ct and he would not stand for 1t. He said. turning to Mir. Goldfogie, that he had no idea he was so tough about as his personal appearance" and as far as he was concerned he would be glad to withdraw that feature of his remarks from the record if the gentleman insis- ted, but as to the other features of the speeches complained of he saw no i'm propriety In their use.
 no1a Ian a defense of his colleague, MT. Ben nett, and himself on the immigrat tion bill He said he was in favor of the admission of deserving aliens. but he was opposed to the pauper labor of Flu rope being admitted to our shores.
 He said that while the gentleman from Kentucky. (Mr Hopkins),' en- deavored to so frame his remarks to show that he was opposed only to the admission of undesirable aliens, yet any one reading the speech of the gentle man from Kentucky might readily ob- serve that there ran through 1t the spirit of a whig and know nothing"
 Mir. James of Kentucky. was instant ly on his feet calling MT. Goldfo- gle to order. He demanded that the words be taken down. The Speaker warning him that he must keep within the rules of the House.
 Mir. GOIdfOEIe Apologies.
 MT. Goldfogle apologized for the words and then proceeded, q have looked up the statistics they show that the illiteracy in the gentleman's dis trict (Mr. Hopkins). was over seven teen per cent He stated to me, how ever. that the percentage was not now SO great. In other words the percent age was seventeen per cent when the gentleman was school commissioner in Kentucky, but since he came to Con- gress the percentage of illiteracy in his district has decreased"
 This last brought forth of roar of laughter and somewhat restored the House to better feeling.
 MT Smith, (Ky.) defended the re- marks of his colleague. insisting that in the light of what had been recently learned in the Fannie Diner case. that he was justified in the use of the words
 MT. Parsons (N. Y) explained at some length the Fannie Diner case during which he admitted that Fannie Diner had been refused admittance by the immigration authorities but that the family of Fannie Diner were suffi- ciently able to see that she should
