CONGRESS.-On Wednesday in the Senate.
Mr. Mangum of N. Carolina, spoke against the
Tariff, and Mr.. Tyler had the floor for Thursday.
Mr.. Clay's speech seems to have produced the
conviction, that the party would stand defeated in

While the Senate arc debating the Tariff, in the
House, Mr. McDufio has reported bill, ION We'd

Mr.. McDufiic, from the Committee of Ways and
Means, reported the following bill:
a Bill to reduce and cqualizc the duties on i'm.
ports.
BE ii enacted, dc. That from and after the 3Oth

duties shall be lS} per centum nd rdtoreR, and no

Tho above bill (Which was twice road and com

Letter to the Editor of the Globe, dated

PORT loBA Geo, Feb. 9Th, 1882.
D,dr Sir: hasten to inform you of mslancho-
ly occurrence, relative to affair of honor
which took place yesterday morning the banks
of the Potomac river, four miles from this town
between Lieut. II. Matthew'S, of this place, and
Doct. G. Walter Jewson, from Virginia. Where
fore and how tho difference came between thcm
know not; let it suffice to say that they oNuan-
ged shots at the distance Of ten PAGES, and both
balls took effect. Mr. Mathews pierced through
the heart and expired without groln; and the
Doctor was wounded in the lower part of the abdo-
men:-it is thought by the physicians he may
cover. Lieut.. III. Mathews was young gente-
man beloved by all who knew him,-consequent-
ly his loss is much lamented. In short, there is
sympathy for them both, being young and in
the prime of life.

From the National InfeHigenccr Of ycstcrday.
The Apporionmcnt Bill still hangs in the House,
and the ratio is still in suspense, although tho
probability seems to in favor of its settling
down some where between Al and 4J, 600. At the
adjournment of tho House yesterday and after an
arduous sitting, it had got back nearly to tho
point at which it started four weeks ago-that is, a
motion was pending to reconsider tho vote stri-
king out $4,000.
1t is expected that the Committee of Ways and
Means of the House of Representatives will report
