Extract to the Editor OF the Baltimore Patrot-dstcd
WAsHINoroy, TUESDAY, FEB sTH, 1928.
A circumstance occurred in the House this
morning which deserves notice An editorial
article appeared in Duff Green's Telegraph on
Friday ming last, headed "Bargain," in
which a coloring and msrepre sensation was
given to some of Mr.. Randol ph's remarks which
reused his ire to the utmost. The article you
have probably seen. Upon the paper being
shown 10 Mr.. r. he stated that he addressed
noe 10 he editors, correcting he error, but two
DAYS having elapsed, and the mote 10; being
ublishrd, old Roanoke could not be = II any
longer. He a accordingly rose this morning and
anded Diff Green without CEREMONY or mer-
", for such an unwarraDtabe use OF his ubser-
valions which had appeared in that paper,
nd he had no idea Of allowing the editor 10
make him say what lac had not said, with
view to produce an impression abroad, al The
expense Of his ,erscity. He had revers spoken
but TO one Of the editors, and that was when he
overlook him one morning on the steps Of
the Capitol, and there unce'rmoniousiy accos-
ed him. Aftcr addressing the House for about
ten minutes, he concluded by saying that he
never would be assaited VITA impunity, and
whenever abused in the newspapers. he never
should enquire to which side they belonged
DIFF got sound drubbing, which made him
gin and cringe at every lash.
Mr.. Buchanan spoke yesterday without
mu h effect. He evidently enier:ains high
opinion Of himself, aud is without doubt pos
sessed of talents above mediocrily. His voice
is far from agreeable, ard his manner is not
graceful, and in point Of political influence is
no bette: than the notable George Kremer
Rumor says that hesis not admitted into the
full communion Of the party since his famous
non, onfrmation Of Gen. Jackson's charge "a
gains, Mr. Clay, because he WAS not willing 10
affirm to b. d fact what he did not know 10 be
rrue, that therefore he is saluied with sulen
looks and cold mods In the course OF his re-
marks yesterday, he expressly dlsclaimed
charging The Administration with any corrup- !
ton since their election, or at The time .
of their election. IF any corruption ex-
.ted in either case, he declared he knew il not,
but that he was opposed 10 The Administration
bee use he believed. or; poor soul, affected TO
believe, the precedent established by the elrc-
ton was a dangerous one. Mr.. Rives, OF Vir-
GINA, has been speaking this morning. He has
line talents and is lucid speaker, and "goes
The whole hog" in support Of Virginia doc I
rines respecting the powers Of the Federal
When Mr. Rives had finished.
Mr. Bartlett, oil New Hampshire rose, but it
being about O'Clock motion was made to
adjourn, on which motion tie ayes and noes
were demanded, from Psire 10 pun an end %
the discussion on the resolution. The motion
was lost by large vote, upon which MIR. Bart.
ett, understanding from the vote that ii was

taken, resigned his claim to the floor. The
House finally, however, adjourned without
We observe by the Washington Telegraph
IF yesterday, that Duff Green, in his turn, is
Mr.. Randolph TO a round rate, and
very plainly gives him the lie, and says he can
oe borne OUT in it by members Of Congress
He denounces Randolph as a prevaricaling, /
'xci'abe character, and says he is an injury TO
anv party. The coordination" at Washing.
lon is evidently tunbling to pieces very fast,
and the catamoup,s Of the party are tearing the
Aesh from The bones Of each other. We have
letter before us which says-"RandolDh is in
wre,chrd Observation-Disclosures and Duff Green
ook cadaverous and wild, and seem 10 antici-
Pave hal political death which is so fast ap.
preaching. The Administration party are
ralm, firm and united, and in excellent spirits"

readers will remember We have again aud a.
