The motion 1 not vvplr failed a.wyAx;D, lacked "l9"of the nece.-sary fwo thirds required to be conelitn tional. ' The da 'a proceedings added another number of exciting dis cussions of the session. Bitter seeches, denunciatory of the ac tion of .Metcalle in soliciting a bribe from Clarke, were made, particularly by Tyler and (iarret son, of l'ierce, ai.d he was defend ed strong y by Meany and I!eH teiguer, of King, who ackuowl edod that Metcalle had made a iiiislakejxit Ids intent was honest, and the motive is what must be regarded. 'J he di.-ciiKsion was made nota ble by a remarkable ppeech by Metcalle himself, when all U,e dI hers had concluded, lie defend ed himselt i-o vigorous-ly and elo (juenily that he was several tiine interrupted by apnlausc, and at the termination a round of chesrs burst forth from the members snd tin; hjbby. M.etcalfe reviewed the entire history of the case and i , know ledged that he had soliched the bribe for the purpose of ex IK)Hin the briber, lie acknowl edged bis mistake, but insisted that his purpose was not discredit able, because Ids sole de:-iie was to expose corruption. He denounced Judge Calkins in the most vehe ment language, mid railed him "a liar and a peijurer." Kespoidiig to the charge of Garretson, o: fierce, that he, was a criminal. Metcalle said: "I regret that cannot meet that charge on the llo.irof this house, but if it conies to a question of science, 1 ' will meet him wherever he chooses." The house to-day considered at length WusKom'd railroad bill, and passed it. It provides that there shall be a reduction of twenty-live per cent 011 all . wheat, barler, melons, Hour and other mill stud s charges, and leaves the other rates as they are. The bill will probably paf-s the senate. THE HAY IN t'OX(il:KSS. A I.o"!T I.lxt of AinMHlments to the Siinilry Civil Kill. Washington. Feb. 20.

Slav'in and Charles Mitchell forms a curious pugilistic episode of the Arcadia Club. The two pugilists have for some time past been very great friends, in spite of the fact that Mitchell Jias been very free in de claring that he could easily best Slavin. Mitchell repeated his boast at the club-bouse, and in time Slavin joined in the discus sion, which became very heated. Slavin at first treated the matter in a jocular spirit, but in the end he lost his temper and pushed Mitchel away with some degree of force. This seemed to rouse the blood of Mitchell, who made a rush at Slavin, hut failed to hit him. Slavin replied witl a hard one on his assailant's neck, which floored the Englishman. Mitchell rose and reached for a bottle to strike Slavin, but again the latter was too quick, and a second tune Sulli van's former opponent was floored. A general melee then ensued, Mitchell usini; chairs and smash ing tables in his efforts to do up Slavin, who practically mopped the iloor with him, and finclly threw him out of the front door, here be was hue tied into a cab by bis friends and driven home, lie is row confined to his bed on account of his injuries.

United States Treasurer Houston has ig:dn tendered his resignation, and this time it lroks very much a if all miht be ever le:wcei him and the president. Theresa nation was handed in yesterday by Houston in person, who culled at the White llotf-e for that purjiose. The ttoiy got out that r.eilhoi Houston nor the presitlent was in an amiable mood, and the meet ing betttocn tli'i w, lr;.cf rin-1 cold to the point of freezing. Tht story goes that the president w a1 disposed to accept the resignation immediately, and send ;n the name of Mr. Houston's hucccss"r in time for confirmation by the senate at this session, but that subsequently he took a different view ol the ifiatter, and vesterdav efforts w ere made to induce Hous ton to reconsider his action, and remain w here he is. A newspa per representative called on Mr. Houston at his hotel and asked him if it was true that he hat banded his resignation in. lie declined to sav w hether he had ot not, but said that he has for a long time desired to return to his hunie and private affairs. The princ'pal cause of Mr. Hons ton's resignation is believed to be the appointment of Foster to the secre'aryship of the treasury. Houston aspired to tiiatottioe, ami believed he was entitled to that lecognition at the president's hands. In the event of a change in the otlice of treasurer, ex-State Treasurer Lencke, of Indiana, will be likely to succeed Mr. Hous ton. Neither th" president nor United States Treasurer Huston will con firm or deny the report that the latter has tendered bis resignation. In iii i.N.M-oi.is, Feb. 20. A Sen tinel special from Evansxide says: "A priva'e dispatch from Wash ington announces that J. A. Lencke, ex-state treasuier of In diana, has been appointed treas urer of the United States, vice Huston, resigned. ... . - , - A While Cap Outrage. Lorisvii.i.G, I'eb. 20.
