Agreed to—yeas 118, nays 23, Mr. BUTLER proceeded as follow: For the second tme, I believe, during a Congressional attendance of four years, I find myselt called to trespass upon the iauulgence of the House for a tew words of personal ex- anation. PiSome days ago Thad occasion to consult Senator Sawyer, ina place where he waa to be found, upoa a matter of public business, Finding @ chair vacant 'near bim I sat down and began conversation, Soon after Mr. G is, of Ken- tucky, arose and began remarks, in form of @ speech, Oon- cerning the outrages and murders In Kentucky. Not deem- ing 1t courteous to converse in his immediate vicinity, to th interruption of « gentieman speaking, I broke off my conver sation turned around, and, having nothing better to do, tis- tened patiently for the river to run by. Lhad no tutention or thought of disturbing the placid flow of the mudsty stream, and waited almost listlessly until it came to an end, Mr. surprised at the unusual courtesy of having one attentive listener, seemed to suppose so extraordinary a fact must have tn it something sinister aud of evil design. Whereupon he suddenly turned toward me and made, ins passionate manner, some very uupariiamentary and’ olfensive utter ances. Unwilling by sign or movement to appear to su Nords personally ‘applicable, Isat pertectiy au my countenance as immovable as if 1 were sitting tograph. Nothing ppeared proper to be done in where I could neither reply to what was said nor leave my sition witnout misconstruction of the motive. What then ok place is better told in Mr. Davis’ own words, in his ne- count of the matter in the same place, whitch L quote:— “I then took my seat, He (Butler) continued an eamest and excited look at me, whereupon I turned my seat to face him, and when we bad ‘looked euch other in the eye for an instant I said to bim, ‘You damned old scoundrel, are you here to scow! at.and browbeat me?” He made no reply, and Trepeated that language. He then responded, ‘I have not addressed you, sir, or sald a word to you.’ I then said, ‘What are you here for—why did you scowl at me?” He answered, ‘I did not scowl at you; you are an old man,’ I rose to my feet and advanced one step toward him and said,‘I am Hurls & young enough to go with you from the Senate Camber wherever it is your pleasure, ‘tthe point of time ator Massachusetts urls Spoons at | wi tepped between tb inid his hand on Butler's shoul, Old Kentuck.” der, said a few words to him, and they walked off together. WHERE THE BUOE PINOHES. Had Mr. Davis contented himeelf with this statement, without worda of personal epithet and characterization, ft should not have felt called upon to notice further im or it. But he added the following words:— “i have given, the language, the words, between General Butler and inyself and all of them. Tt waa not my intention to bring before the Senate any controversy with the univer- sally recognizea blackguard, coward and scoundrel of the Untied States, who, himself, does not dissent from the gen eral judgment agaist hls." Being in a place where, by courtesy, I had a right to be, but where I could not reply 0 an indecent personal assault upon me, male as if in debate and to which I could make nelther ‘answer nor defence, and assuming Mr. Davis' own description of the occurrences to be true, 1 submit to the candid judgment of the House aud of all just men the ques- tion who {0 this affair, upon the Senator's own showing, played the part of the courteous gentleman and who the roe Bierce Denunciation of the Test Oath Section.

He tad for nearly nine years suffered from assaults and charges of having appropriated to his own use small amounts of money in Louisiana, and now he would them once for all. He had capt and levied assessments on the rebels of Louisiana to the amount ariy three miliions of dollars, and he charged himself with the amount on the books of the depart- ment. Those books had been open for nine years, and even detraction had not said that be had not fully accounted for the amount. Referring to the investigation at the last seasion into the management of the national asylumns, he accused Mr. Farnsworth of having published in the Giobe a speech not delivered and highly slanderous to him (Mr. Butler). By that act that gentleman had put himself out of the pale of civilized warfare, and he would never henceforth consider that gentleman's tongue or pen @ slander upon anybody— nl certainly not on himself. Mr. FARNSWORTH, (rep.) of Til, asked and obtained per- mission to make a personal explanation in reply to Mr. But- Jer. He said {t was too late in the day for that gentleman to puion, aire and profess the rula of non-intercourse, “lis trusted that his (Mr. Farnsworth's) great age had not any- thing to. do witb such non-intercourse as was su x hita tn reference to the Senator from Kentucky. (Laughter. ) Inreference to the investigation as to the management of the National Asyium for Disabled Soldiers, he complained that the committee had not acted fairly in the matter’ in re- fusing. among other things, to require the Treasurer of that Institution (Mr. Butler) t9’ produce his bank book, which would show that he had had constantly on hand from $100,000 to 150,000 of government money which he kept in own private bank, in his own name, and with whicl speculated, Mr. BUTLER made the point of order that this was an at- tack upon him instead of being a personal explanation. ‘The SeRAKER—Will the gentleman from Massachusetts state the words to which he objects and the Chair will rule on the question ? Mr, BUTLER—T should say pretty much all of it (laugh- ter), when Iam told that I have gorged myself with public motey._ 1 suppose that that does not require a poiat of order made. The SPRAKEE roled that such language was out of order. Mr. FARNSWoRTH—The member from Massachusetts tomy speech as published in the Globe and I was unting the pointe of it to show that it was not un- n arliaflentary. Pithe SrRaxtn sald he had no doubt that the language of the gentleman from Illinois was unpuriamemary,end #0 ruled wi ut hesitation. Mr. sworth was allowed by @ vote of the House to proceed in order. Mr. BANxs, (rep.) of Mass., remarked that it was pot proper fora member to ask unanimous consent to make a personal explanation and then make criminal charges against a member. ‘The SPEAKER said he entirely agreed with the gentleman from Massachusetts, Mr. FARNSWORTH remarked that he also agreed with the gentleman from Massachusetts. (Laughter.) He went on to speak of the transaction for the sale of 4 piece of property at mpion, Va., fora national asylum, the proper:y baving been owned by MrButler, but having been transferred by him to bis brother-in-law, Mr. Hildreth, to cover appear- ‘ances. In conclusion he sxid that, if that transaction and the testimony given by Mr. Butier before the Committee on Mill- tary Affairs lnat session were, before any petty jury of the United States, It would convict him (Butler) of embezale- ment and perjury, (Laughter and great excitement.) That was all he had to say. Mr, BUTLEE remarked that he held in his hand a report of the Miutary Committee made last session on that subject, and he would read the closing paragraph of it as an answer to all that advertised calumny which might be put out against him anywhere. STue paracraph, which he read states that the committee was convinced that the funds of the National Asylum for Disabled Soldiers had been faithfully applied by the Board of Managers, and that the general management of the sev- eral branches of the asylum has been efiicient; also that the committee had gome to the conclusion that the treasurer, having accounted for all the funds of the asylum that ever came into his hands, was to be entirely exonerated from any gharge or suspicion of imlsappropriation, neglect oF miscon- duct in the discharge of his dut in conclusion, that under that report he raise and caiumnious everything that could be ving clty, In dis. “Ready only for war, we had not prepared ourselves to feed the bungry aiid relieve the distressed with provisions, Butto the extent possibie within the power of the Commanding ‘General it shall be done. “ile bas captured a quantity of beef and, sugar intended for the rebels in the field.

These men shipped at Havana for this port with fair promises of pay on arrival, good treatment and good provisions. They were, how- ever, treated in the most cruel manner and WHIPPED WITH A ROPE’S END. ‘The vessel, they said, had very little provisions on board; and if 1% did they did not get an opportunity to feast even their eyes on them. The imate, Ru- dolpn, was in the habit of whipping them on the slightest provocation, and thelr vere Je was one of great hardsidp, They were compel to EAT SPERM OIL ON THEIR CRACKERS or go without, and this sort of food was anything but pleasant.
