The Congress of the United States sometimes varies the monotony ; of regular proceedings by a linguistic rougband"tumblo, exciting for the time being if not very, edifying. There was a double installment of this sort Qf performanca furnished Friday when Mr. King, of Louisiana, tackled Mr. Hincock, of New York, and flung some uncomplimentary re marks at him,' which were recipro cated in kind. Then Messrs. Willis, of Kentucky, and Young, of Tennes see, paid their respects to each other - . 11 and occupied a large poruoo ol tuw time of the House in calling each other liars in such phraseology as the rule3 of the House would permit. To do this it was necessary to indulge in a good deal of circumlocution as they could not call each other liars in brief, bluff Saxon which would be regarded as. a breach ot congressional decorum hence they had to put the case on a hypothetical footing and they hypo thetically went for each other. . It was interesting to note how the gen tlemen wanted to say something and didn't, and didn't want to say somes thing and did ; how hen they did say something they didn't want to crawfish, so to speak, and so they sparred and sparred, and quit short off, leaving the chips cri the shoulders just where they were on the begin ning of the verbal melee. This was the first act. The second act took place yesterday when Mr... Young rose to a question of privilege, to say that on looking ver the proceedings in the Congressional Record,1 and seeing what he said in print it oc curred to him that he had said some thing which he did not intend to say, and that this impression was intensify ed when other gentlemen had told him that what he said might be construed into a reflection on. the veracity and personal honor of Mr. Willis, and he therefore desired to say, not hypo thetically by the way, that he didn't intend any reflection of this kind, Thereupon .Mr. Willis arose, also on privilege question," to state that he too had used language which might pos' sibly be misunderstood, and that he was perfectly satisefid that in all the hypothetical talk of the gentleman from Tennessee, that lie, the gentle man from Tennessee, did not mean - to be personally offensive, and thu3 the performance ended and all was serene and lovely. We are really glad of this happy termination of a scene which outside of Congress might have resulted in a declaration of hostilities ; but really, is it not ab surd these frequent wordy - bat ties, between men who ought : to have better sense, who for the time being make themselves ridiculous. and who after they cool down have r to go through the humiliating ordeal I of publicly acknowledging that they made asses out of themselves, and used language that they did not know the full import of at the time. Per haps as a remedy, in addition to a Speaker, it would be a good idea for Congress to have a moderator, or a guardian : for these quickblooded gentlemen, to pull their coat tails when they rise filled with ire (per haps whiskey) and present them at the same, time with a lexicon una bridged for reference so that they may select just such language as they desire to use and know the full Im port it. i KEEPING HIS COUNSEL. During his stay in New York President-elect Cleveland had a small army of callers, ranging from men high up in the councils of the party, down to men conspicuous only in local politics. They doubtles? talked about many things, suggested many names for this office andrthat, from the cabinet down, but whatever the impressions made upon Mr. Cleve land, he has managed to keep his own counsel and the country knows no more about the result of these confer ences than it did s before they took place, and so far as to who are the men whoire going to fill his cabinet, while there are certain gentlemen who e tand prominently before the eye of the country as likely to be called upon, .it is all a matter of speculation. It is gratify ing, however, to know, in view of the number of names that have been mentioned, that the, Democratic par ty has 6uch an abundance of material to draw fromT From our - Washing ton letter it would seem that Mr, Cleveland appeared to be impressed with the presentation made of the name of ex-Governor - Jarvis, the . unanimity of whose support in the State seemed to strike him as a favor able indication. If .Gov. Jarvis should be summoned into Mr Cleveland's council, Mr. Cleveland will find him a clear headed adviser, a deep think, er, a hard worker, and one in thor ough accord with the aims and pur poses of the incoming administration. The Dews from Kome that Italy is prepared to send troops into the Sous dan to co operate with England is ini teresting, for it may be a move in which' other European nations may take a hand. Some of those nations are not altogether Ratified with the course that England has pursued in the Egyptian question, and it is more . than likely that some of them are not very sorry for the turn things have taken at Khartoum. .

House Reagan, of Texas, asked unanimous consent to take from the Speaker s table the inter-state corns merce bill with the Senate amend ments thereto, for the purpose of non concurring m tnose amend ments; butO'Neil, of Pennsylvania, objected. The House then proceeded to con sideration of business ' under the special rule. Gibson, of West Virginia, rose to a question of privilege and endeavor ed to be heard in regard to yester- aays dispute between Young and Willis, but as he had not been imme diately concerned in the matter he was not allowed to proceed. Young, of Tennessee, then rose to a question of personal privilege and explained that he discovered by to day's Record, and had also been assured by friends who heard him, that he had yesterday made some statements in . regard to members of the river and harbor committee, which were too sweeping, and he explained what he had intended to say.,- lie thus modified his remarks as to remove any imputation offen give to chairman Willis. Willis said that a number of gen tlemen bad called his attention to the fact that the language he ems ployed yesterday might be suscepti ble of harsher construction than he intended. He wished to disclaim now any intention of imputing per sonal dishonor to the gentleman from Tennessee. Young said that he had expected such a statement from the gentleman. He had not believed that the gentle man intended to reflect upon him. On motion of Mr. Willis, a recess was ordered from six ' o'clock to-day until ten o'clock Monday, and the House then, at 2 o'clock, went into committee of the whole, Hammond, of Georgia, in the chair, on the river and harbor bill. .
