The Washington correspondent Of the Ohio

In this outrageous fight
Were 50 far from right,
On the floor Of the house in broad day light,
"that they were guilty Of violation of the rules OF
the house, deserving OF its censure, and are here
hy censurcd accordingly" After some remarks
from Mr.. Elmer,
Up rose Mr.. White,

And after very rapid and reiterated defence OF
himself in view of the general impression created
against him, he Withdrew his motion to recommli
