.o,s.,;on Of the fees Of the Clerk Of the Dis

yesterday ordered to a third reading, by the
Bouse of Representatives, and will De passed
,o.dav In the first section of the first named
hill. as originally reported by the District
Committee, were the following words-"for

Mr.. Randolphs threat has actually given the
Bankrup, Bill its quietus, for the present ses-
sion. Alarmed a, the awful consequence oil
offending so valuable an instrument OF their
reckless ambition, the patizans OF Mr. Cal
houp have Welded TO necessity and, moved to
Law their own bill on the table. The man.
uer in which Mr. Hayne surrendered was in
genious and specious, but the motive was SO
con,emptibly degrading that even Mr. Ran
dolph himself seemed to pity him. VIII such
men ever again have the effrontery to pirate a
bout corruption? We heard Of the arrange
ment at eleven in the morning, and witnessed
its consummation at five in The evening.
1t is asserted in Philadelphia paper, upon
the authority of "Washpgton letter." that
Holmes had undertaken 10 cane Randolph for
some of his abusive language, but was prevent
ed by the interference Of others. All fudge
We should as soon expect 10 hear that lOuse
had undertaken TO cane flea.
Who can read the following paragraph from
the Boston Statesman, without plying the blind
zeal Of its author?
"Mr. Dickerson. Senator from New Jersey,
has published in the National lDtelligeDcer, I'M
der his own hand, refut0tiOn Of the statement,
which has gone the rounds of the newspapers,
that he was twice prevented from speaking BY
the Vice President, while Mr. Randolph was
permitted to speak half an hour in favor Of the
same motion >"
The following is from the Trenton American,
an influential journal published in Mr. Dicker-
sons own State. The contrast between the two
articles is not less striking than instructive
The people will learn from the first how to APP
preciate in future the declarations oil the STATES
MAN, and its Magnus Apollo, the TELEGRAPH;
and they gather from. the second, that Mr.
Dickerson's labored vindication, has failed OF
success where success was most TO be desired:
"Mr. Dickerson Of the Senate, has given an
explanation in the Intelligencer Of the affair in
that body in which Mr.. Randolph was permit
ted to speak, while the privilege was denied to
him, and processes himself satisfied with the
course pursued by the Vice President. In the
mean time, the principal facts pertaining 10 the
case, are not denied by Mr.. Dickerson, and if
he is satisfied, many Of his friends, and the public
are not. They still consider the conduct OF the
Vice President as exceptionable, and as SAVIOR
ing ofpartiaIity, Mr.. Dickerson's deiicacy to
the contrary notwithstanding"
