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 the discussion More than two days could not be given at this time in jus- tice to quite as important matters which we re demaading to be heard. The proceedings leading to the modifi¬ cation of the rule as above indicated fol- Idwid with less excitement and the House resolved itself into committee of the whole to eoursider the Reify bill The bill was read in fu'.l to empty benches, The debate was Ibegun by Mr. Reilly in f.^-or of the bill and Air. Harris, (Dem.) f Kailsag> in oppo8W on and their , M h»rsi«l t,ln> ,lav's A House tot I .,7 11 passed * ' authorizing Yvas the chief ofacaal of any Mate peiriten- tiary or jail to open the mail of a priso- ner which he has reason to believe its intended to be derogatory to the discip- j ine 0 * t jj e institution.
