THE FRACAS lit WASHINGTON.
Keitt Suffering from "Growing Pains."
WASHINGTON, Feb. G. —The City i 3 all ex
citement to-day in regard to the affray iu the
House of Representatives this morning. The
accounts of the scene differ only slightly, and
the true stale of the case scents to he as fol
lows:
About a quarter before two o'clock, while
various motions to kill lime and prevent dtanite
action were put,and while many members, know
ing that there was no special business on hand
and no likelihood of a vote, were lounging arid
dosing in tiicir seats or mcv.ng prom B uously
about the flail, Mr. Grow, of-Pennsylvamu,whose
seat is about tiio centre of the western side of
the House, where the Republican members near
ly all sit found himself on the opposite side,whose
inhabitants are chiefly Democrats.
There is a passage or aisle between the seats,
leading from the North-east corner of the Hall
to the speaker's chair, making a radius of the
circle of member's desks. Mr. Grow was qui
etly walking down this aisle, when Mr. Keitt,
of South Carolina, and Mr. Reuben Davis, of
Mississippi, approached him. Mr. Quitman had
riscu, and Mr. Grow had objected to his speak
ing.
Said Mr. Keitt "if you want to object you
■bad better go to your own side of the House."
•"This is a free land," said Mr. Grow, "and
every man has a right to go where he pleases."
"What do you mean by such art answer as
that!" said Mr. Keitt.
"I mean just what Lsaid," replied Mr. Grow,
and repeated the remark.
Mr. Iveitt then seized iiirn by the collar, es
-"I wtil let you kuow that you are a
d—d Black Republican puppy."
Mr. Grow thrust his.hattd aside with violence
saying; "I shall occupy such a place as 1 plea>e, !
and no nigger driver shall crack his whip over
rne."
Again Mr. Keitt seized him by the throat, i
aDd was again driven off by Mr. Grow, and on
the attempt being repeated, Mr. Grow deliver- {
ed a well-aimed blow aud knocked Mr. Keitt j
down.
There was a rush of members from the oppo- ;
site side of the Hall, and froui ail quai ters.— ■
Mr. Barksdale, of Mississippi, rushed in to sep
arate the combatant". Mr. Washburne, of II- !
■liuois, who has a front seat on the Republican :
side, thinking that he was going to help Keitt,
buried into the melee aud knocked Mr. Barks- ,
dale's wig off.
Reinforcements arrived from all quarters,and
for a couple of minutes there was a furious con
test, but fortunately no one was hurt, and by
the aid of t'ue Sergeant at Arms, the priucipal j
combatants were parted and order was restor- j
ed.
Speaker Orr, who is a colleague and friend
of Keitt was pale as sheet, but composed and j
collected iu manner. The moment the com- i
Latants were separated, there was a quiet that
was startling in its effect. The Speaker direct
ed the roll to be called ou a motion to excuse j
a member from voting, aud the business of the '
session went on.
At a little before seven this morning, the
House adjourned, on a motion of Mr. Quitman, :
to adjourn tiii Monday, when a vote is to be
taken on a rt-ference-of the President's Kaunas ;
Message, without any fuitbcr delay.
The anti-Lecomptouites are iu good spirits.
{From Correspondent Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON, Feb. ■6.—The contest in the
House was maintained the whole night, by cal- j
line for the yeas mid gays on the most trivial
motions.
At half-past 6 o'clock, Mr. Quitman (Mis.*.) !
•submitted a resolution that the House adjourn j
till Monday next, when the subject under con
sideration—the President's Kansas Message—
\>e resumed and the vote on the pending propo- j
sition.s sbaii be taken without further delay, de- ;
bate or dilatory motions.
By unanimous consent this resolution was
introduced and agreed to, when the Speaker
nunounced that the House was adjourned till
Monday, when the subject would come up as the
special order.

The Kansas Struggle in the House.
A TEST VOTE TAKE*.
Defeat of the Administration by
Three Votes-
WASHINGTON, Feb. B.— The galleries of the
House of Representatives were moio crowded
this morning than they have ever been, and the
interest manifested by tbe multitude was in - ■
tense.
The first question up was on a motion second- 1
ing the previous question ou the moticD of Mr. I
Harris (Democrat, of Illinois,) to refer tbo
President's Kansas Message to a seleet com
mittee of fifteen.
This was caused by a vote of ODO hundred
and ten to one huudred and five.
The next vote was on ordering the main ques- j
tion. It resulted, yeas one hundred and sev- |
entec-n, nays one hundrod and seven.
The next vote was on the motion of Mr. ]
{Stephens, (Democrat, of Georgia) to refer the
message to the Committee on Territories.
This' Committee consists of the following
gentlemen :
Messrs. Stephen?, Democrat of Georgia, Win. j
Smith, Democrat, of Virgiuia, Galusha A.
Grow, Republican, of Pennsylvania, Lawrence
O. B. Branch, Democrat, of N-. Carolina, A.
P. Granger, Republican, of New York, James
Hughes, Democrat, of Indiana, F. K. Zollt
eoffer, American, of Tennessee, Chauncy L.
Koapp, Republican, of Mass., John B. Clark,
Democrat, Missouri.
Of course tbe Democrats in thiy Committee
would have had everything their own way.—
Tbe vote on Mr. Stephen's motion to refer it to
them was yeas one hundred and thirteen, nays,
one hundred tod fourteen. So it was lost by a
majority of one vote.
The contest, it will be seen, is very close,
and it is wwtched with breathless attention/
SECOND DESPATCH.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 82i P. M.— The yeas
and nays on tbe amendment of Mr. Harris, to
refer the message to a special committee of
fifteen, were taken, and reunited as follows:
yeas 114, nays 111.
Majority for the reference, and against the
•dainistratioo, three.
This is considered a great triumph for tbe
Mti-Lweoinptonites.

EVIDENCE OF INSANITY.—A slightly
droit incident occurred on Thursday the 14th.,
in the progress of the Smith trial at Philadel
phia. One of the witnesses was tipcits the stand,
undergoing a series of questions relative to the
prisoner's insanity. lie stated that, at his
last interview with Stuitb, which was just be
fore the tingedv, Smith entered his place of
business in a "state of great excitement, talk
ing incoherently , sr. 1 changing his subject with
bewildering frequency. He talked in one
breath about Virginia, cabinet ware aud mar
riage, and wound up by soliloquising about
Kansas, and damning the Administration. —
Mr. David Paul En wo,the c Basel for the pi is
oner, then asked the witness ";f he didn't ttiiuk
from all this that the prisoner was insane
The reply was—"Yes certainly: I could arrive
at no other conclusion." Mr. Browtn—"Bat
didn't you consider him insane because lie
damned the present Administration V "Oh !
no; he was quite rational there. All sensible
people, I believe, do that." Had the occasion
heeu one of less solemnity than the trial of a
murder case, the question and reply would have
''brought down the house." As it was, a num
ber of office seekers whe wee leaning against
the walls, looked very much disconcerted at the
fact that the only lucid demonstrations made
by a madman should take the shape of invec
ttve against the powers at "Washington.
Another witness offered the following "ele
ment" of the hifh minded aud houorable char
acter of the prisoner.
"Idont recollect anything lie said that a high
minded, honorable Mian would not have said he
been so deceived in a wife: the only expression
he used was, "cowe and taken drink."
Tnx LECOMPTON MESSAGE. —The Lecomp
ton Constitution, accompanied by a message
from Mr. Buchanan was communicated to Con
giess, on Tuesday last. The President says
that a great delusion eeeins to pervade the
public mind in regard to the state of parties in
Kansas that the dividing line there is not be
tween two political parties, both acknowledg
ing the lawful existence of the government, but
between those who aie loyal to this govern
ment and those who are attempting to destroy
it by force and usurpation, aud that their ef
forts would have been accomplished hud it not
been for the troops uf the United States—that
a large portion of the people of Kansas have
been in a state of aotual rebellion ever since
his inauguration, and that the Topeka gov
ernment is in direct opposition to the ono pre
sented and recognized by Congress. So far as
regards slavery in Kansas, the President as
serts that it exists in that Territory by virtue
of the constitution of the United States, and
that Kansas is as much a slave State as Geor
gia or South Carolina, lie advocates the spee
dy admission of Kansas as a State, as the only
means of res tot ing tranquility to the Territo
ry. We have no more space for an extended
synopsis of this remarkable message. It is a
mass of special pleadiug, unworthy the great
ruler of a free people, and mast bring upon
Mr. Buchanan the condemnation of all think
ing men. Its reception in both branches of
Congress was marked by an unusual degree of
confusion and excitement.
STATE LEGISLATURE. —Within the past
week, resolutions have been introduced into
the State Legislature condemning the Lecouip
ton swindle, aud instructing our Senators and
Representaiives in Congress to vote against it.
These resolutions were referred to a select
Committee of seven. Mr. Foster also offered
the following joint resolution on the subject:
"Resolved by the Senate and House, &0.,
That in the words of the Governor of the Com
monwealth, 'all the qualified electors of a
Territory should have a full, fair opportunity
to participate in selecting delegates to form a'
constitution, preparatory to admission as a
State; and, if desired by tbem, tbey should al
so be allowed aD unqualified light to vote upon
such constitution after it is framed ''
A motion was made to suspend the rules to
consider this resolution,' Which was lost—yeas
46, nays 45—the Representative in the House
from Delawute county, Thomas P. Powell, vo
tiog in the ncgatire. The rules of the Ilonse
require a two third vote to~carry the resolution,
and it was therefore lost, although it had a ma
jority of one. In the 46 ayes there are 27
Republicans and Americans and 19 Democrats.
The negative vote was entirely of Democrats,
