The correspondent Of The Baltimore
American gives the following brief report OF
the scene which cnsued:


Both Mr.. Allen and Mr.. ITannegan &c.
manded, and in a manner as excited as il
was perenpiory, to know if the Senator
from North Carolina spoke for the Execu.
tive when he decared that the President
would compromise the question upoa the
line Of 40.


Mr.. Haywood, in reply to Mr. Allen,
said that what he had said he would abide
by. But no Senator with an air ofperson-
al authority should demand of him what he
had said. and whether Or not he spoke for
the Executive. He had written what he
had spoken before he uttered il, and now
that his speech was delivered, he should
print it.


Mr. Allen, in great perturbation, went on
to demand--l could not hear what--but he
was immediately called TO order by Mr..
Westcott, Of Florida.


Mr.. Haywood said he would save TIE
Senator from Ohio great deal of trouble by
telling him at once that he should not an.
swer his questions.


Mr.. Allen--"l am glad, then, that the
Senator takes back what he has said.n


Mr.. Haywood--"I am glad TO see that
my speech lakes" Great laughter

He woodland here quote his own
words--'be beyond resurrection, and reach
a fall so profound--a damnalion so deep
that the hand of resurrection could MOI,
reach him. His falsehood would be
greater than that of the serpent him
self"


Mr.. II. was also particularly disturbed
by remark of Mr.. Haywood that all the
excitement which had arisen upon this
question was in consequence of desire
of certain small men to fill large places

lower down the back stairs of the Executive
And let the Senator from North Carolina
remember, TOO, the maxim, which says, those
who live in glass houses should mol throw
stones"


In conclusion, he again denounced the
Executive as having lied beyond the father
OF lies himself, if he should ever be willing
TO take less than 54 40. The debate
was infinitely amusing TO those who
heard it.


The Senate, at half past o'clock, ad
journed till Monday


In the House, the same day as well as on
Friday, the business was totally devoid of
general interest. The Harbor bill was
The principal subject of debate. The
House voted to pay Mr.. Farlee, ofN. j.

cessfully--his mileage and three months
pay; and refused TO pay Mr.. ]. M. Bolts

Jones.
