LIVELY DISCUSSION IN THE HOUSE, THE HEWITT-CALKINS CONTROVERSY, ETC, WATER SUPPLY BILL IN THE SENATE. Semate To-day. PENSION DEFICIENCY BILL PASSED. Mr. Logan reported favorably in the Senate to- day from the military committee, and asked tm- mediate consideration of the House joint resolu- ‘tion appropriating $16,000,000 to supply a defictency inthe appropriations for army pensions for the current fiscal year. He explained that the deficit had arisen in consequence of the increased clerical force having facilitated the work of the depart- ment beyond the amount estimatéd for in the orig- inal $50,000,000 estimate for the year. The joint Tesolntion passed. Mr. Miller Ty le adversely from the naval committee the Senate bill to regulate prize money and pensions in the navy. “Indefinitely post- por Mr, Sewell reported from the military committee a substitute for the bill to grant to the Mississippl, Albuquerque and Inter-Ocean Railway Company the right of way through the Indian Territory. Calendar, Mr. Slater reported from the committee on In- dian affairs an original bil appropriating $5,400 for the reliet of Mrs. Loulsa Boddy, of Lake county, Oregon, widow of a victim of the Modoc Indlan Massacre, ‘The bill went to the calendar. Under the order for the calendar, the Senate took up the Senate bill for the relief of the officers and crew of the United States steamer Monitor who participated in the action with the rebel iron clad Merrimac in March, 1862. The amount ap- Propriation 1s stated at the actual value of the Merrimac at the date of the action, not exceeding Mr. McPherson, in advocacy of the Dill, gave a thrilling description of the historic struggle in Hampton Roads, and the heroic bravery of Ad- miral Worden, of the Monitor, and his associates. r. Davis (West Va.) regarded the case as no more meritorious thin many similar cases, and objected to it, as establishing a vicious precedent. Mr. Cameron (Pa.) called attention to the excep- ce aonne value of service rendered by the Mon- r. Mr. Logan argued that as the Merrimac was not destroyed, the results of the fight were not such a: to entitle the victors to the benefits of prize money. The bill passed—yeas 24, nays 23. House of Representatives. The request of the Senate for the return of the 5 per cent land bill was acceded to. : MR. CALI iS’ QUESTION OF PERSONAL PRIVILEGE. Mr. Calkins, of Indiana, rising to a question of Personal privilege, sent to the clerk's desk and had read that portion of the letter written by Mr. Hewitt, of New York, to Mr. Manning, of Missis- sipp!, Which charges that the committee on elec- Uons refused to investigate the charges of forgery Prepared before that committee. Mr. Randall contended that the Ictter fatled to show that the gentleman from Indiana (Calkins) had been alinded to in any relation. The Speaker ruled that the matter did present a question of privilege. Mr. Calkins then stated that as long as the charges against the committee were confined to the newspapers he had not noticed them. But when they were made by a member of Congress it Was a reflection on every member of the commit and extend it across Conn’s Isiand to the Vir- shore. The Dill a] 28 $51,370 to JOHN W.

Probably it was not. so intended by the gen- tleman (Hewitt), but nevertheless it was a refl tion which ought to be refuted at once. The con mittee on elections had never fafled to inquire into the truth of any charze,made before it. A LONG AND NOISY DISCUSSION then arose as to the action of the committee, Mr. Atherton, of Ohio, claiming that it had refused to Investigate the charges of forgery, and Mr. Cal- kins denying that statement. Both these gentle- men were frank in their statements, and pro- ceededin perfect calmness and good temper; but agreat number of members on both sides were excited, and their interpolations into the debate caused ’such great contusion that it was next to impossible to understand the points made by the prine!pal debaters, The House was unusually full, and nearly all the members were on their fect, many of them speaking at once. The confusion increased as tlme passed, and at 12 o'clock the House wasin an uproar, which only abated when Mr. Calkins demanded’ of his friends that in a spirit of fairness Mr. Atherton should be allowed to take the floor. Mr. Regan, of Texas, however, objected. MR. DIBBLE AND MR. HEWITT. Then Mr. Dibble arose to a question of privilege, but, his opening remarks failing to present such a question, objection was made to his proceeding. Mr. Hewitt (N.¥.) then took the floor with another question of raf He disclaimed any intention of making an un{ust charge against any member of the cominitted@n elections, and stated that Jn writing the letter which had given rise to the debate he had based its declarations on the minority report, the petition of Mr. Dibble, and the assertions of the democratic members of the committee. As one of the foundations for his letter, Mr. Hewitt desired to have read the affidavit of C. Smith, U. 8, supervisor of elections. Mr. Reed obtected to this on the ground that tt was hot fair for the democrats to discnss in an in- direct way what they did not dare to discuss In a direct way. That was the trouble in this matter. Mr. Hewitt.—Whatever the trouble is, I have some rights on this floor, and { will assert my priv- Hleges tn my own way.” ir. Reed.—Other peopie have rights as well as you. Mr. Hewitt.—And you know how to maintain them. Mr. Calkins then reviewed briefly the evidence in the case and read aMidavitsin explanation and denial of that fied by C. Smith, and his presenta- tion of the facts on which the majority of the com- mittee relied, elicited several rounds of applause trom his party friends. In conclusion, he sald: 4s suid that the democratic party 1s justified in libustering, because some testimony is ques- If the democratic party can stand on such a footing, we can afford to stand on the grext con- stitutional right (which for ninety-three years has never before been questioned) of determl ining by a majority vote of this House who Is entitled to a seat In this chamber. ‘The matter was dropped, and Mr. Calkins called up the contested election case. Mr. Randall raised the question of constdera- tion, and, pending that, moved that when the noo adjourn to-day it be to meet on Friday S ‘The vote resulted yeas 1, (Phelps.) nays 143-8 Jess than a quorum. “The republicans absent on this vote were Messrs.

Mr. Hewitt continuing, sub:nttted ‘that that ‘Was a sufficient basis for the very moderate state- ments which he had made in his letter.

If that were done he would be no party to any filibuster- ing operations to keep any min from a seat though he thought that he was not entitled to it But so long as the truth was not admitted in evi- dence, he was sure that the people would sustain the democratic party 1n resisting to the last ex- tremity any effort to strike down the right to tree Tepresentation. {Applause on democra' side.) ir.
