Spectat Dispateh to The Chicago Tribune Wasutnerox, 2, C., April 7.—The House was the theatre of another of those extraordinary “scenes” to-day which hnve made tho name of “Heer-Garden” a fit designation of tho dis- orderly assembly which dully protends to legis- Into for the needs of the country, The Army Appropriation bill was under discussion, and the amendment proposed yesterday by Mr. Sparks, which provided that gontract surgeons shall not bo employed tn the army until all com- nilssioned surgeons shati have becn assigned to duty with troops, and then only upon the requi- sition of a commanding olficer, had been de- feated, Mr. Sparks, who ts Chnirinan of the Military. Committee, askod permission to move 4 scparute vote on this proposition when it came before the House, Mr. Clymer, who had charye of tho bill, replicd that he would not determine that question until the time came, andadded tint tho Military Committee had not given notice of any intention to call for asepa- rute vote, and expressed » doubt whether such was the qusg. Mr. Sparks became much excited ut this, and oxclaimed that, as Chalrman of that Committee, ho wanted to say thut tho Commit- tev bad unanimously agreed to ask o separate vote, und had nuthorlzed him to speak for them. Mr. Sparks was disposed to bo quarruisome, and continued tht, . IF MI. CLYMER INSINUATED that he did not represent bis Committeo, or that he bad intonded to decetye tho House, thon Mr, Clymer lied. Tho seene here became very ani- mated, Mr. Spurka had gone to whero Mr. Clymer stood, and, leaning over the man next to him, shook his tinger in Mr. Clymer’s faco as be uttered the offensive words. Up to this time nobody considered the matter serious, as Mr. Sparks is fond of boing thontrical. Mr, Clymer was siniling at Mr. Sparks’ absurd anger, but at the word “lic” he tlushed with pussion, and sald something in a detinnt tone, and shook bia fist in return, Mr. Springer, who was In tho chair, rapped Incessantly for order, and a hundred members pushed tothe front to seo futr play. Mr. Hunton, of Virginia, ran to Mr, Sparks, and, catching him on the arms, attempted to lend him away. Mr. Conger ingisted that tho Committea shuntd rise, and that Mr. Spurks’ words, bolng grossly unparliamentary, should be taken down. and read fram the Clerk's desk. A long wrangle ensued, in which Mr. McLane took tho posl- tion that the phrase * words spoken !n debite," ne contemplated by the rule, dacs not apply to dotite in Committee of the Whole, Although this was shown to be absurd, Mr. Springer was diaposed to accept it, but Maly ylelded to the Inevitable meaning of the rulv, and THY COMMITTEE NOSE, Tho words uscd by Mr, Sparks wero then read, as follows: “ Mr, Sparks—Doos the gentioman from Penn- sylyanis inslimte that this doos not como frum the Committey on Military Atfuirs? If bo does, he Hos, This Is nll there ia about tt. © Mr, Clymer—You cannot insult me.” Mr. Spurks then wanted to wike an bean ton, and, after much sparring, thls was allowed. He begun by asking that Mr. Clymer’s language: immediately preceding bls words reud from the desk be also read, in order to show what his Provocation wis. ‘This was agrocd to, and the Clark read us follows; “Mr, Clyincr—1 desire to say that I havo recetved no request front that Committee PSttll- tary}. Whon it is submitted tomo 1 will dutor- aufie upon it. ’ Mr. Spirks—I dectaro to the gontlemnan that this comes fromthe Committoo and E was author. fzed to demand this thing, and the gentleman knows tt, und be cannot deny it, “Sr, Glymer—-Ldo not propose that the gen- tleman shill como hore and assert whut docs not exist. ‘There hus been no request tome for tho yeus and nuys in tho House.” Mit. SPANKS, IN A MOST PATHETIO, tragic tone, sald that ho nevor inant to be dis- courteous, but that an “impulsive” nature sometimes impelled him ta say that which he afterwards regretted, But a brave mun would always acknowledge bis fault, and ho wanted ta say that, if he had heen In error,~-if he had dono ‘his friand an injustice,—ho would withdraw tho offensive words, His head might: be wrong, but ttonebing his breast tragically) bis hourt was right. ‘This was received dorislvely by tho Ro- publican sido of the House, and then Sr. Clymor inado Uke solemn disivowalof ty iutontion to oxaspernte bis friend, whom ho know to be brave tox fault, courivous to the Inst degrogand a mun for whom he bad alwuys tho highest regurd, Mr, Conger, who Yas not sentimental, remarked that, as Sty, Sparks had wmude no retrnetion, ho would Hike the Speaker to ruto on tho lungunge. Tho Speaker tried to ayold the direct point, when Sir. ussell, of North Curolina, whoa your ugo had # tlt with bis colleague (Kilebon), movod wresolution of cousure on Dr. Bpurke. Several dilatory motions wore made on the Democratic side, In the meantime there was in earnest consultation at Sparks’ scat, after which ho rose agnin, and this time unconditionally WITHDREW 1118 LANGUAGE, Mr. Rugsell withdrow bis reaolution, and tho Tiousa at once went into Comnilttce of tho ‘Whole, and the considorutign of tho bill was re- sumed.
