The New Congressional Candidate. "Who is Charles H.

"He is a good man," was the reply; "one of the best colored meh we have in the State. He is in the race to stay. He is not of the kind who can be bought to run by one side or bought off by the other.

The following is from the telegraph ic report of the. proceedings of the lower House of Congress yesterday the debate was on the Compound Ird bill: ' I y Mr. McAdoo, bf New Jersey, heap ed denunciation! and ridicule upon Mr. Cannon's statesmanship and his torical knowledge and his love for the farmer. Then ensued the stormiest scene of the session. Mr."(?annon rose to reply. He admitted that he was not a great statesman, and also admitted the superiority of the gentle man from New Jersey in that respect. He concluded Svith a coarse, remark. There was instantly great confusion and disorder in jthe hall. Mr. Mc Adoo shouted out that he wanted the words to go upon the record as a spec imen of Mr. Cannon's vulgarity. Mr. Caruth, of; Kentucky, suggest ed the propriety of clearing the gal eries of ladies. While Mr. Enloe was clamoring for recognition on the question of order, again Mr.McAdco shouted out to Mr. Cannon ; "If you can afford o let that go on the record as a specimen of your stable jockey wit, -I cannot afford to have it there, j I cannot indulge in blackguardism with you. You ought to argue with a stable jockey. That is your size." i Finally Mr. Enloe was recognized on his point of order and demanded that the words be taken down. Mr. Cannon Oh, if it annoys you I will withdraw it. After a brief discussion the Speaker overruled the point of order on the ground that Mr. Enloe rs proper course would have been to call the gentleman to order and not to raise a point of or der, . ' Mr. Enloe appealed from the decis ion and the clerk proceeded ! to call the roll on sustaining the decision of the Speaker. But a storm was brew ing. Its mutterihgs were heard when Mr. Mason (Republican from Illinois) coming down the isle near which Mr. Cannon (Republican from Ulinois)was sitting, in a tone audible only to those who were in the immediate vicinity, begati to denounce that gentleman in no measured words. He declared that if Mr. Cannon's family were in the gal-, lery he would not have uttered the words he had. His (Mason's) family was in the gallery and he would not sit tamely by and hear them insulted. Some of the gentlemen in the vicinity say the lie was passed, but before any thing more serious occurred the stoim broke out in another quarter. Mr. Wilson, (Rep.), ,of Washing ton, taking occasion to defend Mr. Cannon aroused .the ire of Mr. Beck with, (Rep. from !; New Jersey). Hot words were exchanged, the -lie, was passed and a blow; was given. Friends seized both men, sand finally quieted them, while every Democrat was on his feet thoroughly enjoying the spectacle of the family quarrel. Mr. Enloe, (I)em. from Tennessee) suggested that the. House should adopt the London prize 'ring rules. . It was many njinutes before order was restored,' and, it required a vigor ous wielding of the Speaker's gavel, be fore the clerk could proceed with the roll call. The decision of the chair was sus tained yeas 10,! nays 78.; 1 Mr. Cannon then rose land briefly apologized for the remark which he had made. Dining Room Suit. Antique Oak.
