Mr. Beck, of Kentucky, betng entitled to the floor taok occasion to make one of tho strongest speoches that have beon made in tho Houso thisscssion. Groat attoution was paid to all ho had to eny. Dawes wont over to tho Democratic sido of tho Houso, whore ho sat actually at Beck's feot—learning wisdom, doubt- less ; whilo Garflold shifted from one desk to another in senrch of s good placo to hear, tak- ing voluminous notes, on which we may expoct to have an early reply to Beck’s charges. Benjamin Butler then followed, outensibly to roply to Beck, but really to deliver a long and ingeniously worded DEFENSE OF SBANDOIN and the Sanborn contracts. Ho denied that he lind anything to do with tho passago of the law authorizing tho contracts; cud was at gront paius to defend his favorite. In the courso of his praise of Sanborn, Butler stated that, nmong other cages of dolinquent taxes, which ho said would novor bave been discovered and collected but for Sanboin, was that of the Erio Ruilroad in the amount of §500,000. Mr. Foster, of Ohio, seked him how much had been collocted of this delinquent tax from the Erio Road. Butler quickly roplied that nothing hnd been collected, and that the reason of tho delay was simply that that corporation had set the nows- pap ers an the track of tho contracts, to creale tho improssion that thero was somothing fraudu- lent and wicked in them, ko that tho Jows au- thorizing them might bo topealod. Tho fact is, that the nowspapers Leard notlnng of tho mutter till & Sub-Committeo of tho Ways and douns,— Mosers, Foster, of Obio, nnd Lecis, of Ken- tucky,—who wero investigating in tho intorcsts of retrenchment in tho Bureaus of Customs nud Intornal Roveuno, nnecarihed them. . Mr. Foster followed in o fivo minutes' spooch in answer to Butlor's dofenso of Sunborn and the contrnets, in the course of which he snid ho felt justified in aesorting thut threc-fourths of thoe collcetions wpon which Sanborn hud ro- ceived bis 50 por cont woro made, s sot forth in your dispatehos some timo sinco, by the Ine tornal Rovenuo ofticers, and that many of the cayes were in procoss of collection by the Intor- ual Rovenuo Burcau af the time that tho Secrotary of tho Treasury mado a contract with Sauborn” outhorizing him to take G0 per cont of tho collection when mindo, Instances in proof were cited by Foster, and undor his dolib- erate, seathing statements, made with unruflled composure, Butler grow pale, and fuirly wiithed 1 Ly geat, Joo Hawley then got the floor to tell of the mauper in which Sauborn collected money from o firm in Hartford, Conn,, which he denounced a8 blackmailing, Horo Mr, Butler nttompted to bo satirieal, snd avowed that he did not uuderstand how ' this could be infamons, As Gen, Howloy folt unegual to tho task of making Butler’s™ nature fino emough to enablo him to diecorn infamy in auy of its forms, ho did not undortake the task, ‘The de- bato grow mpirited, and was carried on prineipnl- 1y by Butlor and Foster, to tho intenso aston- ishmiout and delight of hearly all who heard it,— end tho House and _gatleriod wero quito full,— whilo overybody elgo shiunk back from the Massachuotts bully, Mr. Toster boldly came to tho front, and, elthidugh ho nover spoke moro than five minntos at n time beforo to-day, with perfect composure and_ undisturbed nerve, aud withont dosconding to slwng, or forgetting that bo was a gentloman, lashed the braggart till tho sufforing dopicted on his faco becnmo really pitinble.” As Fostor proccadod, excluun- tions of npproval aud delight wera lieard all ovor tho hll, on tho floor, and'in tho galleries. In conclusion, Mr, Foster roso, nnd beggod to apologize for having montioned the bumos of persons in their nbsence, reforring to Sanborn and his tool Lucion Hawloy, of Now York, and stnted that bio did not know, however, but' that ho was justified in montioniug thom, us thoy ap- peured Ly attorney, At this Butler chinnged from palo to o chality Dlue color; and, rising, could searcely comumud breath to dony that e wan thoir utlumufv; but ho gathored strongth enough ta do it flnally, If he could not lie prolnl])uy and fluontly, he would not be Benjamin Butlor, y Tostor's unexpeoted burst of courage and dis- lay of nerva apparently, surprised nonrly every- body. It cortainly could not have surprised Butler himself moro if he had beon chnrged with boing o gontleman and incontestable proofs to sustain the chargo bad beon advauced. Ho puffod and biowed, and rolled Ius head * abonut on hig shouldors as though ~he could mot control himaelr.

Thobulk of our Liv- erpool and Continental orders wore filled with Novembor packed meats, of which wo havo had no complaint. Bhoulders, after being in- spected fn Chiengo and sent hero during Docom- bor and Jaumary, have beon runuing 20 To 25 PER CENT nap, which wo attributo mainly to the fact that in meny instauces they were not as okt as ropye~ sentod, and could not bo inspacted proporly. The fact of o generally successful curo a% country points onjoying tho same tomperaturo would indicato that some packers hnve boon cateless in their work, and have not taken timo to give the meats proper attention ; and tho unsatisfastory curo, in many inatances, mny bo attributod to overcrowding og well as bad weathor. Wo haye been v DOING LESS IN CIICAGO THAN USUAL, owing to this fact, My remarks apply particu- Iarly toshoulders and hamg, Last year we had upwards of 8,000,000 pounds of pork from Chi- cago.

Willinm If, Burrows—*1It is very simplo Clicago merchants UNDERTAKE TO DO TOO MUCH DUBINESS.

Another thing thoy leck—tho moral courago to faco a Jous at oneo, but try to put it ou othors. Wo do not now do the onc-tenth business with Ohicago that we ueed to. Roporter—How is that ? Buwrrows—Wo curtailed our business through WANT OF CONFIDENCE in tho merchauts, dealers, and inepectors. Tho vast majority of tho latter are frauds of tho worst deseription. Wa connot depond on thom, An aa an instanco wo give the followsng: Out of GUO tiorcos of hama lntely recoived, 800 wore pioked ehort weight, and tho most of thom were tpintod.
