A BITTE CONTROVERSY GROWING OUT OF A MEFERENCE, Spectat Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune, Wasiixatox, D.C., March 2.—Thero was a contest In tho House to-day which Involved in somo mensure the question of tariff revision. The strugglo Insted from 12 until 6 o'clock, and torminated just whero it began. Tho greator Portion of the day was spont in fillbustering, and ut one tine thore was'a very oxclting scene. ‘The contest uriscs from the fact that the Ways and Means Committee {s generally understood by tho frionds of tho tariff rovision to ba: do- oldedly hostile toany considerable change in ox- isting tariff laws. Tho action of tho Ways and Bicaus Committee, a fow weeks ago, in deciding not to consider any tariff questions, togothor with the kuown views of the mombers of tho Committec, have caused the fricnits of tariff revision to como to the conclusion that tha Committco does uot intend to make any changes except whoro {t shall bo forced to ofther by publio opinion or by tho Houso. . There have been soveral attempts : to rofer revenue bills to other committees, and thoro have beon one ortwo record votes on such referduces. This is truo as ‘Vo bilis necting tho paper tariff, and us to sim: ilar menaures, - In overy gstance tho change of reforonco was defeated, )s. MANY OF THEIPRIBNDS - > - of tho tariff revision boing opposed to inter- fering with the red-tapo chaunels of the legia- lative machinery of the House, Yesterday ‘Townshend, of Miinols, futroduced a bill which Dears a vory slmplo title, and proposed to amend a section of tho Itevised Statutes. When tho title was read no ono suspeeted tho real pur- pose of tho bill, which was to adult free of duty sult, puper, printiug-machinory, and types, and all chemicals centering into tho composition of paper. Tho bill simply proposed to repeal tho section relating to st by umber, ‘Tho Committee on the Rovision of thy Laws undoubtedly {8 carneatly in favor of tho proposition contained in Town- shend’s bill, but, of course, had tho tari! men known that it was tho purpose of tho bill which wus introduced by Townshond to change tho tariff lawe, thore would have boon a bitter con- test, with tho probability that the roferenco wontd havo been mude to the Ways and Means Comunitteo, Accordingly, this morning, whon the journal was read, the opponents ot any chungein the tarlff endeavored to scoure a change of roforonce by correcting the jour- nal, THERE WAS NOTIUNG, howovor, in tho Journal to corrovt, as the Sponk- er very rightly ruled, as itis u fact thnt the bill had been referred to the Comumittco on the Re- viston of tho Laws. Whothor it was rightly so referred was. matter upon which tho Speaker claimed to havo nothing todo, Garfeld then moyed toamond tho journal, tho intont boing to soni tho bil pack to tho Ways and Means Com- mittee. Upon thie motion tho long aud exciting contest of the day begun. si ‘There isu rule that bitls referred on Mondny are not subject to reconsideration. The sup- orters of ‘lownshend insisted that this rule pro- wetod thom in tholr reference, Among those who took thls view were Mluckburn, Curlisto, and Knott, Jownsbend, ut the beginning, care ricd his polnt, ag ho obtained 4 vote of 118 to 117 to table the motion of Guetleld. Had Town- ghond stopped there, tho Larit bill would prob. ably have romuined with the Committee on tho Revision of tha Luws, as OPPONENTS OF THAT REVERENCE would not have been able to have mado tho motion to reconsider, ‘Townshend, howoyer, bot thinking of tho pariluniwntary ofeut of bis motion, and scoking tu fortify, his position, made amiotion to reconsider, Tho tari men took advantage of this, and scoured anotbor rotl-call thut dofeated Townshend by four votes, Ag the tariif mon bad rillied, ‘Townshend thus lust control of tho subject mutter, and from that polut the fight was hotly contested, tho renter portion of the time boing occupied tn libustertug motiona. ‘Thy result was, thut wn udjourntnont. was had ut 6. o'eluck. to- night, feaving the question pending whore it began—nanwly: upouGariicld's motion to amehd tho Journal so a3 ty change the reference and send tho bitlto the Ways aud Means Com- miltice, ‘The contest ia nut exactly an fague bee teen tiritt and antl-tarif, a8 there entered into tho motion a question whether the rules, ag a mutter of course, did not require the rererence of such a bill to the Ways and Beans Commit tee, ‘Phere wus also the further question whether the Houso hud been misled, whether iatention- ally or otherwise, by the futroduction of # bill the titlu of which did not give informution as to its subject matter. TUIS LATTEM SUGGESTION caused tho greatest excitement of tho day, and led to what ut one time in oir parilumentary history could hardly buvo fattud to huve been 4 peravial encounter, between ‘Townshond and on, Gurfeld, Conger, Garticld, and others ine slated that Townshend bud deovived the Housy, and, a4 the contest grew warn, thu charge was inudy that ‘Townshend with intent: dettborately dvcolved the House ia order tu give to the Com= mittco on the Revision of the Liws Surisdiction of usubject over which, under the rules, it had no control. Guriield churacterized 4 curtain mo. onus absurd, and jnthinated that the louse bad nm grossly ducelved by Yownshend, At this ‘Townshend, who f6 a tan of hot blood, ina tows ering rage, Inquired whethor Gariluld’ intended to churge blm with deeeption. any, words,” suld Garheld, detluntly, were clearly dulivered, Tbaves good, strony vole. The‘ genutiomun inuet have heard whut [ auid.” Tho volcane of passion which ‘Townshend had with afiticulty reatrufned throughout tho diay | hore broke forth, and ina voice quivoring with oxcitefunt, and Ju the midst of derisive laughter on the ltepub- Jican side, ‘TOWNSHEND SAID “Then the gentloman intended to aay that I attempted to deociye tho House,” jarttolt, with aaneor, roplicd: “J sald that the House had been deceived by the geutieman with 4 bil} upon which nothing was written to give any nolice of its contents, Tho title tight bave been exp! us wellin Arabic Ngures."’ Tho confusion ty the House increased to a tumult; Townshend becatne, livid with passion, ang bo bissod between bis teeth: “If the gentleman {nsinuates here that 1 intonded—," but the rest of the doflant duclaratton was lost tu loud Ysughter on the Republican side. Gar field, with detiauco, added to the excito- ment, by asking, with & supercilous saver; “Tins the gentleman any weapons about him?" The merrim ‘on tho Republican side incrensed, and tho Democrats peeame exoited. Above the din thorearuse to tho galteries, hot and bisaing from Townshend's tnouth, the words: [want the gentleman to understand that Iam his peer, Af he inainuntes that T have deceived the Howse for a dishonest purpose, | say to him that he haa beon guilty of willtul und deliberate falsehood,” The exact Inngitige could hurdly be heard, 80 great waa tho uproar in the House, and GANFIELD EXDRY THY INCIDENT for tho present by saying, with grent dignity and greater lung power: “After that indecent ox. fone of the gentioman’s person and toind, T ave no more to aay.” If the first vote on the motion to table the Garfield motion to amend the Journal ag na to. tuke the Townshend bill from tho Committee on the Revision of the Laws and to refer it to the Ways and Means Committees (which fs a nurse that ‘cares not for ib 1s to be taken (18 some any that It should bo taken) us something of nn Indication of the temper of tho Houre on the guastion of tariff revision, it can stated that there wero few Kepresentutives who favor any changes In tha tri. OF the 18 who pructicully voted to Jeaye the bill with the Committeeon the Revision of the Luwa thore were but two Republicans Field, and Robinson. of Massachusetts,—wille two members of the Ways and Means Committeo itself—Morriston, of Ulinolg. and Mills. of Texas, both of whomn are earnestly in favor of tarif re= vision and of the repent of the tax on paper— yoted to table Garfield's motion. The fact that the Ways and Menna Committee now seemed. diay to report a GIL at Jenst which shall put wood pulp on tha free list, where Congresa orl. inally intended that it should fe and where It woul! have been but for an adverse ruling of tho Tressury Department, undoubtedly Intlu- enced many friends of the paper-tax repeal not to help keep the bil with the Commlttes.on Revision of the Laws, | THE FIGHT, ‘To the Western Associated Press, Wasntxatos, D, C., Murch 2—In the House this tnorning Mr. Conger suid that, In examining tho record thia morning, he found that a bill re= jatlng to the whole qttestion of the tarlif, amend- dug tl hit sections of y Ituvieed Statutes, hnd been retereed, in violation of the rule, to tha Committee on the Kevision of the Laws, Instead of to the Commnittes on Ways and Means. He alluded to the dunger which arose from the bill not clearly stating in tts title its aubject mutter, Mr, Townshend, of Illinois, said he Introduced the bill, whose title clenrly showed to what it referred, when ft stuted it was to revise and amend Title & of the Revised Statutes, and the Committee on the Hevision of the Luws was tho proper Committee to which It should go. Mr. Reed would not suy the bill bad been smuggled into the House, because that would bo Unpurliumentary; but it had been practically brought in WITHOUT THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE Hose. Mr, Lownshend—If the gentleman had used such a term, pariininentary: or unparliamentury, L should bave denounced ft.as a falsehood. [De- risive laughter on the Repubiican side.) Mr, Heed—And I should bavo replied that it would not make the stightest difference to moor tony other member of the House, Mr. Townshend—[t might not maken difference to tho gentleman to be told it wus false, but men of honor would know the meaning of that word, and It would make a difference tothom, [Ap* pluuse on the Demveratio Blue.

Mr. Phister moved to retor tho motion to tho Judlelury Comnittes, There was no question but that the Journal was correct, and It was A SUITAULE QUESTION for that Committee to decide how far tho reo- urds of the House could be amended, Br.

No ters than ten times ave gentlemen tried fo get the tariff queation sent to some other Com- mittee than the Ways and Menns Committee. The Houso-has . ALWAYS REFOBED TO DO THAT, and tho House has recently adopted a ruta that provides that all bills relating to the revenue shall be referred: to the Committee on Ways and Means. Knowing this cule, aud knowing tho re ponte pencting of the Hguse, tho gentleman irings forward this with @title that explained nothing, that did not allow the Speaker to know whut was In it,—for hat ho known ft he would havo been compelied to send it to the Commit- tee on Ways and Menns; or bad any ono of the 340 gentletnen known it, be would havo objected. The gentleman, well knowing that atate of fuind and that state of ruling by the Speaker, got ina bill of which nobexdy Roe the contents, Mr. Townshend—I desire to say in reply, that the bill introduced by n ould have been easily unilerstoud from its title by any. Intelligent mau on this foor who fs famillar with tho statutes, especlilly by those witehful gentlemen, those vigilant agents of tho Protectioniste of this country, why occupy seats on the other aide, The title was that See. 4,503, 2.50, 2405 of Titled of Revised Statutes should be revised and amont- ed. That wns the Ute.
