A SCENE IN THE SENATE, Plumb and Call Exchange Bitter Personal Flinga, A QUARREL OVER SWAMP LANDS, The Kansas Man Accuses the Florida Senator of Lying—A Severe 1tetort the Consequence— Windom's Call Due. Senate, Wastiseroy, Jan. 14.—Among the bills reported from the committees and placed on the calendar of the senate were the follow- ing To declare unlawful trusts and combinas tions in restraint of trade and produc- tion (Sherman’s bill) ; authorizing the pur- chase of asite for a building for the supreme court. Mr. George offered a resolution instructs ing the committee on finavce to inquire into the propriety of reduciug the penal bonds required of manufacturers of cigars in all cases, or at least where the manufacture is carried on by the manual labor of the manu- facturer, Carried. Resolutions heretofore offered by Mr. Call in relation to the claims of Florida under the swamp lund grant and in relation to the alleged unlawful selections of iand in Flor- ida were taken up, and Mr. Call addressod the senate. The burden of his remarks was that lands which were not swamps, but which were fit for cultivation, had been se- lected under the swamp act, to the injury of tho people’s rights. He asserted that 200, 000,000 acres had been selected and approved in il the states as swamp and overflowed land, while everybody knew there was no such extent of territory (as large as Europe) consisting of swamp and overflowed lands. Out of over 16,900,000 acres which had passed in Florida under the swamp and overflowed land aot he asserted that 11,000,000 acres was high and dry. Mr. Plumb said Florida contained about forty million acres and more than half of this had been given by the United States to the state for various purposes. Every acro of lund so granted had been placed under the control ot the Florida lewislature, Some sixteen or eighteen million acres had been granted as swamp and overflowed lands. Senator Call bad just told the senate that,) most of it was Lot swamp but arable land. So much the greater was the dereliction of the senator’s state if it had betrayed 1ts trust. For himself he would resign his seat if ho were to bring forward such a4 complaint against his own state after being too cowardly to proclaim it on the stump within its borders. Mr, Plumb went on to say that Senator Call had, some sessions ago, appealed to him a8 chair- man of the committes on public lands, to re- porta bill to ratify and confirm title to cer- tamn railroad lands in Florida, so that the alleged frauds, said Plumb, were to be con- doned in speech. The senator, he said, had been always in the habit of impuguing scnators, covertly or openly, and he, Plumb, had sometimes been inclined to reply to him to conviet him of falsehoods. Mr. Call replied to Mr. Plumb, He said: “I will not be moved, Mr. President, by this extraordinary example of the senator from Kansas to follow his bad manners, nor his contemptible methods. He cannot have a poorer opinion of me than I have of the sen- ator from Kansas. I have not beer: in the habit of violating decorum in debate and discussion, buv if the senator thinks by his idle bravado, by his defense of this vast spoliation of the public domain in the inter- est of those who have profited by it, thut he can intimidate me from defending the rights of tho people of my state, I treat him with the corn and contempt that he deserve My position is well known in relation to this questionin Florida. The ofticials of that state are as honorable and nble as the senator from Kan- sas. By their side he would sink into insig- niticance. The statements of the senator in relation to their violation of their trust are entirely untrue, and as chairman of the com- mivtee on public lands, which has jurisdic- tion over the matter, he should be ashamed not to be better informed in regard to the special circumstances. .It is disreputable to the senate that it should have as chairman of such & committes a senator who not only defends the interests of boodlers but shows his ignorance of the subject specially committed to him, All the senator has said about the legislature of Florida is vtterly false and untrue and has been said for the purpose of making an attack againsy me.” Having made a statement as to the grants to Florida for railroad purposes and under the swamp land law, Mr. Call Proceeded: “If the things he says were true and if I were as bad a man as he is, as weak a man as ho is, as vain 8 man as he is, even if I were all he is himself and all he says I am, still it would remain true that a large number of people have been deprived of their rights on these lands.” Mr, Dolph, as a member of the committee on public lands, made an explanation ana justification of the action of that committee in the last congress in respect to a resolution of Mr. Call's on the same subject, and Mr. Call disolaimed having mado or having at- tempted to make the slightest imputation on that committec, Without action on the resoiution, the sen- ate, arter an executive session, adjourned. . House. . 'WASHINGTON, Jan, 14.—In the house today Mr. McKinley, from the committee on ways and means, reported back the bill to simplify the laws in relation to the collection of rev- enue, It was ordered printed and recom- mitted.

Mr. Adams argued in favor of the bill, holding tne sergeant-at-arms to be a public officer, ~ My, Hemphill of South Carolina advocated the adoption of his bill permitting members to bring suit in the court of claims for the recovery of theiwr salaries, and opposed the bill of the majority because he conld find no statute declaring the sergeant-at-arms to be a disbursing officer. He thought the housa should not appropriate public money w pay debts.
