Extract of Il letter from gentleman in Wash.
ington to his correspondent in this city, dated May
49, 1892
"Potical"-Placards were stuck upon the
lamp posts, at the corners, and the gates of the
Executive Mansion, Friday night, proclaming
the verifcation of Bentons prophecy. L observe
that the lamp posts in front of the Department of
State this day being witewashed The fact is,
that the placards were well pasted, that it was
found impossible to remove them, and therefore the
order from the Secretary to whitewash them. 1t is
not, you know, the first time that the truth has
been hid from view by the present administration.
MIR. Plummer of Mississippi, met MIR. Slade OF
Vermont, on Friday, at the Capitol, made use OF
some vulgar language towards him, and then spit
in his face, stepping aside he did So and throw
ing open the breast of his coat, displayed to Mr.
Shades view a dagger-the latter being unarmed
did not attack him.
A horseshoe, wrapped in paper, thrown
from the gallery of the Senate chamber on Satur-
day, but missed the Senator at whose head it was

ately acted the lunatic, and consequently re.
leased.-In conducting him from the Capitol, how
ever he drew Spanish knife upon the officer, who
was compelled, in consequence to knock him down,
and have him conveyed away in hack.
There is doubt that his attack, upon the Sena-
tor premeditated; and there was no evidence
of insanity in the manner of conducting his at
tack. Bait, Chron.
