(From Our Regular Correspondent) W T- m The extraordinary period of goodwill which began with this session of con great and lasted until the holiday recess has gone glimmering into the limbo of the past. Representative Littlefleld, of Maine, who lias a knack of creating furore every time be speaks, got into a personal altercation with Representative Hopkins, of Illinois, author of the com mittee reapportionment bill, whicb will reduce Maine's representatives by one, no. wiey twappeu sucii epillicta as "pettifogger'' and "criminal", while acting Speaker Ital.ell, rapped for order and the house uproariously applauded or jeered. Mr. Littlefleld favors the P.ur leigh bill, which is giving the committee bill a hard fight. As no party question is invofitd, the debate will continue in the home until a majority orders the previous question. The supporters of both bills are clnimlng a majority, but it is not clear at this time which really has it. The old, old question of the respective power of the executive and Icgialiitive branches of tiio government has caused strained relations between the ailiniiii Irallnn and a number of senators owing to the refusal of the secretary of war to finish the senate a copy o! a report nude on Cuban finances by an expert ac countant. A resolution practically cen suring the administration for the refusal has been offered, but it will hardly be adopted tit the majority la in accord ilb the administration in other matters. The debate In the senate on the army reorganization lull, which will pn bably be passed this week, has brought out one Representative a. W. Colvlg spent several days in Portland prior to the opening of the legislative session, lie has named Binger Hermann at hit choice for senator and announced hie letention ol voting for him at long as hit name ta More the legislature as a candidate. He did not believe that either Corbett or Mcllrlde would be elected and thought Mitchell might possibly win In the end. He has a number of billt ready to introduce, em bracing the following measures ; to in crease the assessors term to four years ; to amend the fish law in re gard to Rogue river j to give four terms of circuit court to Josephine county and give 12 terrat of probate court la the year, lie has also prepared a bill treating on the election ol United States senators. His Dill gives the people the privilege oi expressing their choice for senator, the result to be tabulated by the clerk ami transmuted to tho secretary ol state. At the next meeting ol the city coun cil, the matter of designating the names ol (lis streets will be brought to their notice. The expense of inch action would be very inconsiderable and the convenience would be jieat, especially in view of the directory which is now uuder process of compilation. It Is thought that It will not even be necea tary to set posts tor the purpose, but the cards or tags can be fattened to buildings, fences or trees at convenient points.
