On Wednesday hist Senator Voorhees delivered his lecture on “Thomas Jefferson," at Richmond, Vs. It is announced that Senator Joseph E. McDonald is preparing a speech, to be delivered in the Seifhte after the holiday recess, in which he will take advanced ground for the free and unlimited coinage of gold and silver, and for the abolishment of the National Ranking system. Indiana is undoubtedly a corn growing State, as will he seen from the following porticnhirs in regard to the corn growing contest: The officers of the State Board of Agriculture, judges in a corn raising contest, have announced the distribution of prizes. All the contestants were under eighteen years of age, and were limited to one acre of land. In some instances the amount of grain raised is so large that it would he doubted if the returns were not made in such a way they van not he questioned. The following is the standing of the competitors : Arthur Harter, Allen County, Ind., aged seventeen—154 bushels, 0 tbs.—$75. George C.

2.—The Drovers'

In the House of Representatives, on Tuesday, there was an extremely personal debate on the funding bill, terminating in an episode which caused great excitement in the chamber. Fernando Wood, in behalf of the Ways and Means Committee, pressed the bill for passage. He was supported by members both on the Republican and Democratic sides, but strongly antagonized by Weaver in behalf of the Greenbaekers, who denounced the measure as intended to prevent the payment of the public debt, and prepared in the interest of Wall street. Personalities were indulged in freely. The Enquirer's special continues the story as follows “Finally Mr. Weaver and Mr. Bland got into a colloquy of a personal character, into which Mr. Sparks, a gentleman from Illinois, noted for his pomposity of manner and irritability of temper, unnecessarily intruded himself. During the merriment caused by one of Mr. Weaver's stinging replies to Mr. Bland’s questions, Mr. Sparks or Mr. Bland was heard to say, “That's a falrohood.” In th? prevailing confusion Mr. Weaver evidently could not determine which of his interlocutors made the offensive remark, and therefore took

no notice of it.

When Mr. Weaver concluded Mr. Bland obtained the lloor, and made some points against Weaver’s record in and out of the House as a Greenhacker, and repeated the charges against him made in the Presidential campaign of having a secret understanding with the Republicans for the advantage of the Garfield Electoral ticket. Mr. Weaver attempted several times to correct these damaging allegations, but Mr. Bland refused to yield, and thus Weaver was forced to wait until he could obtain the lloor in

his own right.

The debate had thus far wandered entirely from the Refunding Bill, and the halls of the House bore more resemblance to a mass meeting than a delihdrativc Assembly. Members clustered about the disputants and freely applauded the points made against each other, while the Chair|mun, Mr ('overt, of New York, lost

ring to t'.c episode between himself, Bland and Weaver,olreudj described, proceeded to make an explanation. He said the offensive words were the result of a misunderstanding. He did not intend to say that a statement made by Mr. Weaver was false, hut that a certain allegation that had been made by some one else was

false.

Mr. Weaver seemed satisfied with the explanation. Of course it proceeded from a misiimh islanding, hut

dress is Bloomfield, Iowa,” or words to

that effect.

This increased the general merriment and increased Sparks’ anger. Shaking his fist at Weaver,he shouted : ‘T have a contempt for that man's arm. It can not he used to hurt me. The manner in which ho received my explanation shows that he is not a gentleman, a fact of which his conduct in the Presidential campaign has given abundant proof,” At this point, for the first time during the controversy, Mr. Weaver lost his temper, and replied to Sparks by saying : “In the presence of the House of Representatives, I denounce you as

a liar.”

This explosion seartlcd the House, which had been silenced by the bollignant attitude of the two principals, and members rushed down the aisles and crowded about them. "And I denounce you as an unmitigated scoundrel,rejoined the irate Sparks.” The two men during this exchange of compliments were standing within six or eight feet of each otner. Hparks stood at Mr. Ewing's desk, which is on the front row on the Democratic side, and Weaver stood on the same side at the desk of Mr. Carlisle, which is on the third from the front row on the main aisle. For a moment after Sparks' retort Weaver stood motionless, glaring at his burly antagonist as if selecting an advantageous point for attack, and, buttoning his coat, ho moved rapidly toward Sparks, who, in the meantime, hud sat

down.

Weaver arrived almost within arms' length of Sparks before the surrounding members recovered from their aetonishment, and realized that an actual light was imminent. As Weaver drew back bis arm pi pared to strike, bo was siozed by several members at the same time. Mr. Sparks, who bad hurriedly regained his feet, a id pushed bis chair violently into tho aisle, was also siezed and firmly held by friends. Both men were in the area in front of tho Speaker's stand, struggling to free themselves, that they might come together, and while attention was concentrated on the two belligerents a danger was threatening the Illinois member from another direction. Mr. Jones, a Greenbacker, from Texas, who sat next to Mr. Weaver, bounded into the arena ami pushing through the crowd began to pull off' his coat, exclaiming, “If there is to bo a fight over this 1 want to have a hand.” Mr. Jones,
