VOLUME XI.-NUMBER 1578. CHARLESTON, THURSDAY MORNING, JANUARY 12, 1871. EIGHT DOLLARS A YEAR. THE CLOSE OE 0?BGHESS. A RED-SOT PERSONAL SQUABBLE IE THE LOWER HUI SE. The Spicy Encounter Between Batter, tike Spoon-Hero, and F?rn?worth Terxlble Excoriation or Butler by Beck, of Ken tucky-Pi stol s for Two. The closing-floors of the session of Congress which etJdt'doa Thursday last were marked byan angry and somewhat remarkable dis? cussion, which wan but briefly alluded to in our telegrams. We now quote from the lull report-of the proceedings: BUTLER'S PERSONAL EXPLANATION. Mr. Butler (Rep., Mass.) Droceeded to ad? dress the Hotise in reference' to the scene which took place in the Senate between him? self and Senator Davis, ot Kentucky. Assum? ing Mr. Davis's own description of the oocilr renee to be true, Mr. Butler submitted to the candid Judgment of the House and of all just men, which ot the two-had in the affair played the ?art of the courteous gentleman, and which the part of the blackguard. Mr. Davis was shielded from responsibility for what he said by his age and by his senatorial toga, and thus shielded and protected, he had ejected the effluvia of his revenge after the most high toned manner of chivalry. * Mr. Beck (Dem., Ky.) submitted whether Mr. Butler had not violated the pledge he bad made to the Democratic side of the House, when he got .its consent to make the explana? tion, that he would say nothing personally offensive to Hr. Davis. Hr. Butler denied having given that pledge. He had merely said that he would make no at? tack upon him. He-had for nearly nine years sneered from assaults, and charges ol having appropriated to bis own use small amounts of money lc Louisiana, and now be would an? swer them, once for all. He bad captured and levied assessments on the rr be. ls of Louisiana to the amount of nearly $3,000,000, and he had charged himself wUh the amount on the books of the department. These books had been ope? for nine years, and even detraction had not said that he had not fully accounted for the amount. Referring to the in vest igat loomat the last session into the management of the national asylums, he accused Mr. Farnsworth ot having published in thc Globe a speech not delivered, and HIGHLY SLANDEROUS to him, Butler. By that act that gentleman had put himself out of the rules of civilized warlnre, and he would never henceforth con? sider that gentleman's tongue ur pen a slander upon anybody, certainly not on hlmsell. Mr. Farnsworth, (Rep., II!.,) asked and ob? tained ^permission to make a personal explana? tion irv reply to Mr. Butler. He said it was too late in the day lor that gentleman to put on airs and profees the rule ot non-inlerconrse. He trusted that his (Mr. Farosworth's) great age had not anything to do with such iran intercourse as was suggested by him in refe? rence to the senator from Kentucky. [Laughter.] In relerenee to the investigation as IQ.the management. Of the National Asylum for disabled soldiers, he complained thai the , committee bad not acted fawly in the matter,' in refdewg, among other things, to require the treasurer of that institution (Mr. Batter) to produce his tank book, which would sttew that he had constantly on hand from $100,100 to $150,000 .pf government money, w hi efl ne , kept in hts own private' bank tn nie own name, and with whleh he speealsjted.- '-' Mr. Butler made the point of order that this was an attack- opon bim Instead of being a personal explanation. 7 .* The Speaker. Will the gentleman from Massachusetts state the words to which he objects ? and the chair will role on the ques? tion, i Mr. Bittier. I shonM flay pretty tandi all of it [laughter,-} when I am lord that I have OORGKJ) MYSELF WITH PUBLIC M*NKT. - I suppose that that does not r-jqulre a point of order lo be made. The speaker ruled that such language Was ont of order. Mr. Farnsworth waa allowed, by a'vote of the House, to proceed in order. He'went eu to speak of the transaction for the sale of a piece ol property at Hampton, Virginia, for? national asyuim. the property having been owned by Mr. Buller, but having been trans? ferred by tim to his brother-in-law,* Mr. Hil dreth, to cover appearances. In eopchision, be said that if that transaction and the testi? mony given by Mr. Buller before the commit? tee on military affairs last session were before any petit jury of lb? United Slates, lt would convict him (Butler) of. embezzlement and perjury. [Laughter and great excitements That was all he had to say. Mr. Buller.. I cahoot nave any controversy with that man, whom I would not believe un? der, oath. [Laughter and hammering from the speaker's gavel, j Referring to the wit? nesses who swore against him in the Investi? gation v he said thai one of them was A RUNAWAY UAKAVS DK8URTER, whom ho had been trying lo find to put a ball and chain around his leg, and that another was a Baltimore man'who bad once served with him (Butler) lur supposed gallant con? duct, wit had gone down lower, lower, lower, until he had sunk lo the position of being-a witness for the member from Illinois. [Laugh? ter.] . Mr. Farnsworth. And (he other witnesses werrihe member from Massachusetts and his brother-in-law. [Renewed laughter and other maulles talions ol u thorough enjoyment of the scene.] . * . ' Mr. Butler remarked in conclusion that be would not again be driven Into a controversy on the subject. What was the use, he asked, of an investigation and ot areport exonerating a man from all blame', when such esbneruiion was made only the foundation of fresh charges and liesa calumnies direct from hell ? [Laugh? ter.] Mr. Beok (Dem., Ky.,) asked and obtained leave to make a statement on behalf of the senator from Kentucky, who, he said, had been so foully denounced by the member from Massachusetts. That senator and that mem? ber had liad a controversy on the floor of the Senate. Mr. Butler. Oh, no; I had no controversy with him. Mr. Beck. The senator denounced thc member on the floor ot ihe Seuaie as '" AD-D SCOUNDREL, " ) and I would charaelerize mat as a controversy. [Laughter.] They had a quarrel on the floor of the Senacp. It.ougbt to.bave ended there, and would have ended there'but for the lace that the member from Massachusetts saw flt to come on the lloor of the House, and use lanjpiBge grossly offensive to the senator lrom Kentucky, and it was after tbat that the sena? tor had pronounced the speech which."bad been quoted by the member. The member from Massachusetts, If he had a personal ex? planation to make, should bave mode it at once, but he had waited until last 'J uesday, the day that Congress was to adjourn, and then asked leave to make it, haviug sent printed slips o? it in advance to Boston and to New Yuri?, knowing that th? senator would lin ve lett tue city bet?re he cou 1.1 bave seen lt ia print. Thereupon I objected, because it had been held up so long, and not because I did cot waoi to give the gentleman a chance for replication. Mr. Buller (interrupling. ) The reason given by the gentleman was, that he would not let me speak so long as the Indictment against his State was continued. !J - PISTOLS FOR TWO. " Mr.. Beck. IM had bad an opportunity to reply to that Indictment. I would have done it in a way which I hope would have been worthy of the Slate. Wheu the gentleman was trying to get leave to-day, I asked bim whether he would assail the senator from Kentucky, and be replied that he would not, and on that statement members on the Democratic side voted to give him the privilege. I did not be? lieve what he said, aud, therefore, voted against lt. [Laughter.] Wheu the member rises and announces that the senator from Kentucky has been guilty of falsehood, I deny it-I hurl it back-aud I say ibat the char? acter of that senator is as good us that of auy man upon earth. He never did willully tell a lie, and no man ever before accused him of 11 When the member said that the senator was shielded by his age, and lhat Ire did not seek the proper redress, I have ouly to say that, while my senator ls neither a bully nor a blackguard, the member can get any redress from lum that he seeks outside of this hall, or anywhere else. [Laughter.] I do not believe that lt iles In the mouth of the member from Mus.-bcbusetts to talk about my senator being sliie.ueu by his age, or not seeklug proper re? dress. 13 BUTLER .A COWARD ? I bave witnessed scenes with that member which satisfied me that he would not seek the redreeeto which he alludes. [Laughter.] He does not forget thal I- have, in the presence oi fifteen members of the House, seen the mem? ber from Illinois (Farnsworth) pitt his fist in th* face of the member lrora Massachusetts, denounce him in everyway that one man can denounce another,' until I had to ray to other members of the committee standing by, that I did not think one white man- would takelt without a fight, and thaf the decent negroes In New York State would fight over it. t?p I-raarions laughter.] Mr. Farnsworth (derisively.) It was on ac? count of his extreme age perhaps. {Shouts ot'laughter.] Mr. fintler (pointing to Mr. Farnsworth.) He is not a white man. THE CHAPLAIN AND CORONER CALLED FOR. Mr. Eldridge (Dem.. Wis.) Now is the tijae to call in the chaplain, [Continuous laugh TERJ Mr. Cox (Dem., N. Y ) The coroner should be also sent tor. ADJOUI' SMBNT SINE DIE. At this point o' the discussion, and while the House was qi .te amused and excited over lt, the speaker's hammer descended, and he announced that the first session of the House ol Representatives tor the Forty-second Con? gress was adjourned without day.

The body, when found, wes jfterced by six bullets, and'the number ol tracks in tne neighborhood indicated that the murdered man was attacked by a considerable party. When our informant left no clue to the murderers had been discov? ered. This is one of the most cowardly mur? ders yet perpetrated by the assassins wno are bringing woo-to our State. Mr. Lemons ls thc same man referred to ]n the Union several weeks since, as baviqg been visited by a body of disguised men, whur it wu reported, ordered mm to leave the State, and probably his refusal to do so bas re? sulted as above narrated.

( P. F.

The torrent has cut its channel through the iront bat?ere and far out into the fields lo the depth ot probably lorty leet, while steadily, foot by foot, the great levee crumbles into Its boiling walers. The closing of this crevasse is beyond the range of possibility, so the-next best thing is to prevent, if possible, the widening of the breach: A continuous sheet of water extends from here to Lake Pontchartrain, and for many miles above and below.

IJROM OPR OWN CORRESPONDENT.] NEW YOBS, ApriH9.; Mr. Orange S. Winans, of Chautarfqna j County, th? Republican, member of the As som - ] bly, wnp bolted the caucus programme and Toted with the Democrats, thus enabling them to pass all their hills, has been the sensation s Loee Saturday, and the recipient ofuumeroas complements Irom the Republican Journals. The latter disagree as to the exact amount Mr. Tweed paid for Mr. Winans's vote. Some fix lt at $100,600, some. at $63.000, and others us, low as $5000, per annum for five years. Senator Fenton, who is a personal friend of j Winnns, has a theory about his defection irom the Republican party which ls likely to be cpr- j recL He says wi nan s was an avowed Inde? pendent Republican at the time of his election; that he opposed the regular candidate for Con gress In his district, and that he was'never ex> Sec ted to work submissively In party traces, et-ides that, he is an employee of the.Erie Railroad Company, and may be expected to be Influenced hy his relations with that road, the* manag?rs of which, as is well known,-toe William M. Tweed. Jay "Gould and Jim Fisk. Whether he was bribed or nut-aud it cannot be proved that he was-the Republicana are baa*red irom complaining. In the case of a similar tte in.the Assembly some years ago, they bought up Mr. J. C. Calllcott, Democrat, and thus secured control ol legislation. A party which seems <o be proud of B. F. Butler and Dan Sickles, and ls led by Whit temores, Bnllocks and Forneys, has small claims tosu perlor morality.. A few general reflections .on the corruption ' of the times will naturally suggest themselves lo readers here. Winans, the great abused, is a t ill, hand? some man, wltn a dark Spanish looking face sad an easy, .affable manner. He ls about forty years of age, has a wife hud several children, aud will probably li" long enough to live down newspaper detrat..on, lor in poli tics here, where boin parties use money, the taking of money is regarded as venal only the fault is in bel?g found out. Calllcott rose to such eminence in Che Republican party af? ter he was purchased that they bestowed upon him the responsible office of collector of In? ternal revenue ia Brooklyn. But for his Blln-' dertng manner of keeping accounts, which got him. into trouble and ?he Stale prison, lie might now be a member of Mr. Gram's Caoi aet. ... ... , There is a growing uneasiness In domestic circles, both herc and in our sister City of j Brooklyn; about the email-pox. which*ohs been raging all winter, and seems te- Increase who warmer weather. It is a fact that there ls always some small-pox In New York-but just now the plague has almost Che featur&of un epidemic. Little ls said in the-newspapers, but when one sees the ominious announce- -j meat beginning IO starb at him from all the apothecary's windows, "Fresh vaccine vitus ' dally," lt looKsas it thc demand for'the pre- i ventatlvu had suddenly become very targe. This euee: ful subject of small-pox, with ?taitiing stories et sick people, dragged fj-Qjtn their homes by the beallh authorities, nn?/n- | 1 carcerated in hospitals, away from thu tender car i of friends, is. I am sorry to say. a favorite topic of conversation around the metropolitan dinner'and lea tables. ? We do sa love t hector ribteihat we cannot iorego the sensatiolsiof blood-curdling and cold shivering even while discussing our meals.

And tn Hie midst ol these ?arrowing speculations comes the controversy oft ne doctors about the wal efficacy of vac-. 1 ?niitlon,-8eme holding thal it attracts rather i than repels the disease, . ., This ie one domestic -sensatiofl; but let not our Southern friends coming North avoid New York on that account, for there has not been tease at the hotels; and of all the people I know of, lhere is not one down yet. Forge ?od live cleanly, keep your menial balance, ind avoid the tap room, are certain defences -(gainst the diseuse.
