Heavy Taxation. Who of us, since our earliest recollection, lias not heard and read of the vat national debt of .England, and the grinding taxation to which her people iire subjected ? For the p res out year, her taxes, !1 told, including national, county and city, reach the enormous ag gregate of $.r)S.7,0O0lOi)0! That, is $15 07 per capita, or that sum for every man, woman and child ; including cripples and paupers, n the realm. Let us compare this with our owu burden. Even their figures, frightful as they are, do not equal those which the tax list ofthe United States exhib its. Our taxes, taken all to gcther, how reach the unparal ieled sum of if C 50,000,000, or $10 15 a heaxl for every living lium'ari being in the land, ex cepting "Indians uot taxed." There arc milliatrs of pauper?, antt women aud children who yay no ta.Ves. at all, so that the burden weighs hcaviei on those who do pay. What is the rc suit ?

It had been given out for a few days previous to adjournment that IJuller intended to make u speech ;jt the lant moment, exculpating himself from the various charges made against him, in which ho in tended to nhusb Senator Davis, Mr. lMinifiNVorth and everybody else against whom ho entertained his natural hatred, feeling certain that the Speaker's gavel adjourning tlio House, would cut oft' all reply. IIow well ho fared will ho seen further along Presuming that tlicro would be something racy transpire, your cor respondent repaired to tlio House, and as lUiller appeared in his host lighton this occasion, 1 forward you uVuMiW of lito-likc stanches of the hero of Fort Fisher and Dutch flap, in ho appeared at tho various sta ges of his personal explanation, aN well as a fin; simile, of his "stylo" when tho Speaker's gavel fell. llutler entered the House to-day (Thursday) ia his usual pompous style, Ins eve coi Ued n Utile more critically than usual, as much as to say that soinolwly was going to be demolished. JIo was unusually qui et during tho early part of tho Mis sion, taking but Jittlo part iu the discussion .of tho Ku klux confer ence report. Alter tho formality of sending a committee to tho Pres ident, informing him of tho inten tion of tlio House to adjourn, and about nu hour beforo tlio time fixed tor adjournment, Butler Arose to a Question of Privilege. Asking that tho IIouso allow him filleen minutes to make a personal explaoution. Mr. Arthur I object to granting tho cullenun from Mattsachusutts that privilege. Mr. Uutler I move that tlio rules bo suspended in -order that I Ju.ay mako tho explanation. Tho Hajuho seemed iro-disposod to have a little fun, iwi t1i3 inks were almost unauiuiously suspended. Butler Squared Himself And csviled into Sonntor de nounclug, jiini in tho mostj bitter tonus. , After jjleUiling the scono in tho Sonata inwhic1i hb Hnd .Sonntor Datw figured bo coiifipipnotioly, ho uppcIod to tbo House, to, know which was tho grQnto8t,blii,ckguai;d.

In 2 Hutler the palm for blackguard ism over all coaiers, including car- peivbaggerf,.. scalawags . und .what uot. ' - Having disposed of Mr. Davis to his own satisfaction, "he soared into the etherial on the question of silver waro and bank robberies in New Orleans, ... - U)S ... -r Protesting to High Heaven That ho had fairly accounted for all the money and spoons and things that came into bis hands. Growing florid in face and speech, ns he touched this part of his explana tion, he exclaimed : "ut why should I, living, hope to escape tho viperous defamation of a communis ricatrix, who, claiming to bo a Christian, in defiance even oftbo maxim of heathen koine "that nothing bo said of tho dead savo good" ghoul-like, pounces upon the ncw-inado grave, and with unclean talons tears and feasts upon the corpse of tho lamented patriot Stanton, declaring . "Jf justice had been dealt out to him in his fifo timo for his crimes, ho would hauo been hung a hundred limes for murder, and put in tho penitentiary ten thousand times for his crimes- . I might, perhaps I ought, to con tent myself hero ; but for nearly nine years, 1 have silently Mifl'ercil similar assaults. It may bo the hour has now como to say a word, not in explanation for that which neels none, but of robuko." For a considerable tiuio he went on at this rate, trying as well, to exculpate himself from the charges of embezzling tho Soldiers' Asj lum fund. Jlr. Farnsworth said that ho had a word of explanation to make, and n hoped that his great age would nn prevent llutler from resenting then and there any unjust accusa tions. Tho House roared with laugh ter, at this koon keen thrust at llut ler, who though continually boast ing of his courage, Js known to be a most arrant coward. As soon as Farnsworth arose, Sutler's cheek paled and ho hastily retired to tho cloak room, and Revived His "Animal" Spirits. Mr. Farnsworth then charg ed home upon Uutler the most grossly fraudulent practices in the management of the Nation al Asylum, as well as pretty plainly intimating that Butler would not try to bully a man who was able to defend him self. Mr. Beck defended Senator Davis against Butler's asper sions. Mr. 13 u tier The gentleman will not give me leave to speak as long as his State is under indictment. Mr. Beck V"heu the gen tleman was asking leave to-day to mako his explanation, I ask ed hiW if ho would assault the Senator from' Kentucky lie said lie woufd not; and on that statement the Democratic side of the House voted to grant him leave.' I did not believe him," aiVci therefore I voted against it.' The Senatonroui' "my f$tatc is not a blackguard' nor a cow arcb,' and the geiitronian can get any satisfaction he wants in this liall' oi1 o'u'E of it. Laugh ter and bta'mpin'g. I do hot believe thai it- lies in the mouth of the merober from Massachusetts to talk about any Senator being shield ed by his age or not seeking proper redress. I have wit nessed scenes with that mem ber which' satisfied me that he would not seek the redress" to which he alludes. Laughter. lie docs not forget that I have, iu the presence of fifteen mem bers' of the II6uhp, -seen- the member from - (Illinois Mr. lams worth ' Shake His Fist Under the Nose of the Gentleman from Massachusetts And denounce lwm in every way one man can denounce an other. Mr. Butler "Well, sir 1 Mr. Beck (continuing his re marks') until I bad to say lo the members of (tie Committee standing by, that I did mot think ft white man would take it without a fight, and that a dt ceitt wiro in J7ew York State would fwht over it. (1'oars of laughter in all parts of tho House. Mr. larnswortli It was on accrtuit of the gentleman's ex trenie age. Renewed merri ment aud shouts on the llooi and in the galleries, Mr. Butler Towering with rage and looking over his shoulder at Mr. Farnsworth. L k ?.--r n,r- .-; ;, a. sift M&P1 "He is Not a White Man." The scene at this point was perlocuy indescribable, and Butler bewail to tell about how he had been abused, and Burst Into Tears As he told about the Asylum business, and said that one of the witnesses was a run away marine, a deserter, whom ho had been trying to find to put a ball and chain around his leg, and that another was a Baltimore man . who had once served with him fButler) for supposed' gallant conduct, but had since gone down lower, lower,' lower, until he had sunk to tho position cf being i wit ness for. the member lVoiu Illi nois.' Laughter. Mr. Funisworth reminded him thati one 6f tfre witnesses was his (Butler's)' brother-in-law.' Contiuuoct laughter. Mr. Farnsworth spoke of the transaction for , the sale of a piece of property in Hampton, Virginia, for the National Asy? luni, the property having been owM'-u uv JMr. liuuer, nut Hav ing been transferred to him by his brother-in-law, llildreth, to cover nppcarancef. In conclu sion, he said that if that trans action and the testimony given by Mr. Uutler before the Com mittee- on Military Affairs of last- session were before any petit jury ofthe United States, it would convict him (Mr. But ler) of embezzlement and per jury. Laugh tor and general excitement. X hat, said Mr. Farnsworth, is all I have to say. Mr., Butler Oh, lMiaw ! IVhaw ! Laughter. That was one ot the cheats of the statement. It was put into the hands of mv brojier-in-law as seen l ily for the money which ho lent mo. Mr. Farnsworth Your brother-in-law swore that he did not lend you any money. (Laughter.) The other witnes ses were members from Massa chusetts and the gentleman's brother-in-law. (Laughter on floor and chouts iu the gallery while the Speaker used the gavel with good natured des peration. Butler rallied a moment from his tears and glared savagely around, and theu sank down In a Dead Faint. Silence being in a measure restored, Mr. EM ridge arose.' Mr. Eld ridge Mr. Speaker, I feel, sir, that t lie time has now arrived, when it is necessary to call m the Chaplain. (Most uproarious lauirhter on all shies.) Mr. Cox I move that the Coroner also be sent for, as the occasion is a good one for hold ing an inquest. (Laughter and general hilarity.) Mr. Farnsworth I would say i Here the Speaker's gavel fell and the House was declar ed adjourned "sine die." The last seen of the ferocious "Beast" was after he had re tired to his boarding house, unable to pack his carpet bag preparatory to going to Massa chusetts, plaintively sighing to the colored porter, In a Dead Faint. "Put me in my Little Bed." s discomfiture was most complete and his personal explanation, : which he had printed o:i dips, aud furnished to the press for publication, instead of making him political capital for the next campaign was turned into ridicule by his own party friends, and he. -was actually laughed' out of Con gress. The scene i$ on,c to be remembered by all who wit nessed it, and Butler will re member it . only to curse his evil star to the last day of his IXION.

The engineer of the train saw him iu lime to stop the ears, lie was taken to Madison where he died soon after. -.route All classes have their aris tocracies, loads wear jewels in their heads.
