of the reports of tdr; hogs that whave

the hogs, ami grown at so little expense.
It has been demonstrated that bacon can

The jury was secured without much
difficulty and th District-Attorney i
plained the natur of the specific charge
on w lil’ l. Captain Howgate had been ln-
dieted; how he had secured Government
money through a false but, from the
Western Union Telegraph Comtiany, and

1IK.I. THE CAUSE
COMMITTEE OX HULKS REPORT A
HKSOUTIO.V
Tlic IlcHolutiou and the Committee
Arc* Violently Attucheti
Washington, IT C., Jan. SO.—At the
m0 meut after the opening of the
session of the House, Mr. Gatchings re-
ported front the Committee on liuies a
resolution for tho consideration of the
Kelly Pacific Kailroad funding Will. It
provided for general debate from the
adoption of the resolution until 11 o'clock
tomorrow, Thursday’s session to begin at
11 o'clock, debate under the live minute
rule to continue until 4:3d o’clock when
the vote shall he taken on the Will ^nd
pending amendments. The order git tig
Thursday to the Committee on the L-,s-
trict of Columbia was abrogated and
Friday set apart fur business from that
committee.
A remarkably acrimonious debate fol¬
lowed the resolution and the Committee
on Rules were violently attacked for un¬
duly restricting debate by Boatner.
(Dera.) of Louisiana, Maguire, (Dem.) of
California, Bryan, (Dem.) of Nebraska,
and Cooper, (Uop.) of Wisconsin, and
defended by Catching*, (Dem.) of Miss¬
issippi, Wyie, (Dem.) of Mississippi, and
Reilly, (Dem.) of Pennsylvania. The at¬
titude of the Democratic party toward
the question involved in the hill was in¬
terjected by Mr. Holman, who asserted
that the party had always frowned upon
every attempt to settle the matter. This
was vigorously denied by Mr. Gatchings,
who criticized Mr. Holman's “previous-
ness” and asserted that the statement
was untrue.
Mr. McMillin, (Dem.) of Tennessee,
joined in the colloquy, which was con¬
ducted with much gesticulation and do¬
nuneiation , and pounding of the
Speaker's gavel, and was finally ended by
the sergeant-at-arms.
The demand of the previous question
on the passage of the resolution was
seconded by a vote of 433 yeas to i'-ii
nays,.and then, before the desired vote
was taken upon the passage of the rcso-
lution a modification was accepted toy
Mr. Catcliings and it was agreed to by
unanimous consent.
As adopted the resolution provides for
general debate up to adjournment of the
tomorrow'* session, which shale begin at
11 o’clock, and in what ever time the
Committee on the District of Columbia
shall not occupy of Friday’s session:
Saturday’s session also beginning at 11
o’clock shall be devoted to the consid¬
eration of the bill under the o minute
rule until 4:30 o'clock, when the vote
shall lie taken on Us passage.
The debate from the beginning had
proceeded amidst confusion, tile mem¬
bers crowding about the Speaker’s desk
and thronging the area in front of the
desk, but all that was nothing to the hub¬
bub that accompanied .Mr. Catabings’s
efforts lo close. He said the rule did r.ot
commit the House to any settlement of
the question; the only question involved
was as to whether or not the House
would proceed to consider the bill and he
could not understand Why so much ex¬
citement should be occasioned over a
simple order of business Diverting to
the merits o! tile case Mr. Gatchings s.iiii
he understood there were members on the
Boor who would not l-e sorry if thi gov¬
ernment's interest were sacrificed, «nd
the practical question confronting die
House was should an effort lie made to
get the money due the govemmeut? He
believed that the House would be re¬
creant to every trust if it failed to make
effort iu that direction.
Tiie gentleman from Indiana, (Mr. Hol¬
man) said Mr. Catcliings had asserted
what was not true, that the Democratic
party had frowned upon every attempt
to settle or compromise the debt.
At this Mr. Holman was on his feet
shouting and gesticulating violently, and
half a hundred momlbers crowded about
the Speaker's desk, whose voice was
drowned in the tumult, to which the
Speaker, pro tem., Air. Richardson, of
Tennessee, added to toy a vigoousr rap
plus of the gavel.
Mr. Catcliings asserted that the jour¬
nals of the 48th and 4i)tto Congress would
show that two committees—one of them
presided over by his colleague, Air. Outk-
waliite—toad reported bills for the setLe-
ment of the question.
Mr. Holman—They wont show any¬
thing of the kind.
Mr. Catcliings-They will show it and I
know what 1 am talking about. If we
had had rules to force consideration the
bills would have been passed, but they
could not be reached.
Mr. McMillin and Air. Outhwaite were
now on their feet and shouting their
views. Mr. Mt'Millhi said (lie "nuse had
refused to pass the bilk
Mr. Catcliings The House did net re-
fiuse to pass the bills; they were not
considered.
Filially, by appealing to members to
restore order and directing the sergeant-
at-anms to request them to take their
seats, the Speaker pro tem., succeeded in
restoring something like order and Mr.
Oat chi nets concluded, with an expression
of opinion that two days were amply
sufficient for an elucidation of every
proposition that could properly arise from
