war WkoSp IN Cbmxress.

The ". Y. Union is publishing some Rem
iniscences Of The American Parliament, from
which we extract the following scene between
Mr.. Griunell, Of Mass. and Col. Afford, Of
Georgia. The Colonel took his seat in the
House in 1886; and soon after he appeared.
Mr.. Grinnell made a humane speech on the
subject of the Seminole war, and poor Indians
in general. Colonel Afford was at that mo-
ment fresh from the Greek and Seminolean
wars, his wounds unhealed and gaping for re-
venge. The Union says
TO hear the Hon. Mr.. Grinnell enlogize the
Indian character, and sympatliise with the Hed
Man, and recount the story of their alleged
wrongs, was what he could not exactly endure.
Leaping to the floor, unprepared by single
moments preparation or meditation, he poun-
ced upon Mr.. Grinnel; with the fury Of IL
ger ard gave utterance TO voliey OF elo.
ouent invective, that never was, and never will
be surpassed.
"And does the gentleman undertake to talk
to me, Mr.. Speaker, about Indian magnanlm-
itv and Indian heroism! Does ne expect me
to unite with him in shedding tears Of sympa
lhy over the pretended wrongs Of the Creek
and Seminole? Does he wish a practical IL
lustration Of Indian justice and humanity! II
he does, sir, / will take him 10 the morasses
and everglades of Florida, and the black girt
plains of Georgia. and there. sir. he may Crap
pie in deadly strife with those prosecuted In
dian tribes, that elicit his pity and his commis-
seration. Sir, bat few weeks have elapsed
since was grappled, arm to arm, and throat

of the race. This arm, sir, and this hand,
which now move, and iu the presence Of the
eternal swear, shall be welded whilst life is
left, in destroying the last vestige of the race,
was palsied by the tomahawk and the scaIping
knife. l was at the mercy of the savage con-
onerer, and BY the eternal, I'll be revenged.
Sir, the war cry was loud and long-is was
the war whoop Of death and if the gentleman
has any favor for that kind Of music, I'll give
him specimen Of it"
Then the gallant and deeply excited Colonel
attempted an Indian war whoop, to the utter
amazement of the whole House, and was on.
" induced to withhold the effect, by the loud
cries of order that proceeded from all sides, and
by the announcement Of Mr.. Grinnell. that he
had not the least disposition to be entertained
by the war Whoop illustrated.
Never was there more emphatic display Of
eloquence divine made in the American House
of Representatives, than that which distin-
guishsd the occasion in question. twas thrill
ling beyond all precedent and example, and
will long be remembered. When Col. Afford
sat down, such was the effect that Mr.. Grin
nell complimented him on his success, and the
whole Huse united in awarding him an uni
versal burst Of applause.

The odious 2lst Rule of the House OF Representa-
,ves of Congress, which forbds the reception OF any
petition tho subject of the Abolition of Slavery-a
rule which in manifest violation of the constitutional
and legal rights of the People rule which involves
violation Of popular liberty, which would hardly be
submitted to for an instant, by the people of the
South f it had been adopted against them-this rule,
be it known, is at this moment in force, Ay the di-
rect and i'm mediate action Of the political Abolition
Party.
AT the organization Of the House Of Representa-
tives, for the present sessions motion was made that
the Rules and Orders of the last House should be
adopted, to govern the proceedings of this House.
The Hon. JOHN Quincy ADAMS Immediately n
rose, and moved to except the Twenty First Rule.
This motion gave rise to debate--upon the conc u
sion of which the question put to the House and
Mr. Adams motion was lost-91 members voting to
reject the rule, and 95 to sustain it.
We have carefully Analysed the names of the mem
bers, as they recorded upon this vote NOT A

last No. of the Western Journal of Medicine and Sur
gerry contains full account Of the fever (typhoid) by
DR. Thomas Carroll, of that city. We have only room
this week to quote DR. C's statement respecting the
effect of spare diet in producing this disease.
It has been the habit he suys 'sof the students
to take of their rooms, which Of course has
not always been done in way that a lady would
have dictated Most Of them have lived at a common
table, which has been furnished in plain but sub
stan,ia manner Six or seven, however, boarded
themselves during iS42, ana most oil these were
Grahamites; indeed, all lived in abstemous way
All, with single exceptions had the fever-he,I be-
lieve, ate animal food occasionally, and he was also
too far advanced in life to be in much danger from
the disease. Among these students the worst
forms of tho fever. But one student who had the
disease boarded in private family, and the form in
which he had it was not severe.
Agar, he says-"The mode Of living has no doubt
much to do with the origin oftyphoid fever: yet
have known it to originate in very clearly families,
hut seldom among those who lived wei, as to diet,
and who were in the habit of eating animal food This
may, however, more frequently than am a.
ware Of The only fatal cases among students, at
the Lane Seminary, took place among those who had
for n considerable time ubstained from nnnal food
