CLAY'S VULGARITY AND BLASPHEMY A
GAIN-PHE PROOF FURN IBHEB TO THE
JOURNAL:
The Jougaa Of Tuesday asserted that the democrats
had no authority for asserting that Henry Clay used the
vulgar and blasphemous expression to Mr. Polk, which
he is charged with using The following certificate from
Mr. Ghhlson, who at the time was member Of Con-
gress from Mississippi must convince the Journal that
its editor reckoned without his host Clay did use the
language, and here is the proof it,
A "REMINISCENCES.
"Being called ou, deem it my duty to state thatyes
terday in the Hdse Of Representatives, Immediately
after the Speaker Games X. Polk gave the casting vote
on the Mississippi election question, the Hon. Henry
Clay looking in the direction Of the Speaker exclaimed
"GO HOME, GOD DAMN YOU WHERE YOU
BELONG!" These epithes were uttered Just as the
Speaker gave his vote. Mr.. Clay standing within
the Western entrance to the Hail. and close to the bar
of the House. was standing within five feet of Mr.
Clay. Mr. CLANCY, of Ohio, sitting in his seat was
so near Mr. Clay that he heard his remark and imme-
diately committed il TO writing. Mr.. Gallup, of New
York. was standing near, and heard the same remark
very distinctly
"S. J. GHOLSON.
"WAsHINGToN Feb. G, 1888"
Iflhe Journal after reading the above, is still OF the
opinion that we have no authority for making the
charge, We will procure the certificate OF the Hon. Jchr
CLANCY, of Fairfield county, who committed the words
to writing Immediately after they fell from the lips
Clay, provided the journal will publish the certificate
alter we procure it. The character OF Judge CLANCY il
too we'll known to our citizens an honest and honor
able man, to need an endorsement from us; and we
gain repeat that we will procure his certificate OF tn
facts, provided the Journal will publish it.
Whilethe editor of the Journal is denying the fact o
Clays vulgarity and blasphemy, would it not be vel
for him also to deny that Henry Clay is now unde
bond TO keep the peace, and to prevent him from fighting
duel with Senator for words spoken in debate. w
are anxious again to publish copy OF the bond, ant
wish the Journalto draw it out by denial. Can VI

WASHINGTON, Wednesday Nlght-Feb. 10.
The question on the election OF the General
Ticket Members was almost disposed Of to-day
but not quite.
As soon as the Journal was read,
Mr.. DOUGLASS, the author Of the Majority Re-
port on this subject, rose and spoke his hour In
favor of the report.
Mr.. WELLER then moved the previous question.
This was seconded.
The question was put on the main question, and
carried, 1913 to 81.
The question then came mp on the amendment
OF Mr.. Dromgoole which declares all the General
Ticket members to be elected, but enumerates
the members Individually.
Mr. VANCE demanded division of the question,
as to take the question IN this way first, are
the members from New Hampshire duly elected"
and 40 on to Georgia, Missouri and Mississippi, by
States.
Mr.. DnoNGoor.E moved to amend this by calling
for division of the question again, go as to call
each general ticket member, and take the vote on
his individual election This was carried, and the
ayes and noes ordered thereon.
So the question was put, :" Is Edmund Burke,
Of New Hampshire, duly elected - The House
decided that he was ayes, l2S noes, 6S.
Then, els John r. Reding duly elected - Yes !;
ayes, III noes, g.
And so the vote proceeded for each individual
from the States of New Hampshire and Georgia,
twelve members IN all and the ayes and noes
were called on each, and all were declared duly
elected ; by a vote varying from 129 to SO in the
ayes, and from s. to q in the nays.
Several attempts were made to adjourn during
these twelve calls for the ayes and noes which &C.

IMPORTANT FROM HAYTr..-We have received by
the General Marion, Capt. Shepherd, advices from
Port au Prince, or Port Republican, as 1t is now
called, to the 22d ult. We have LIE D7anifcae

Affairs have settled down into quietncss in every
part of the Island. American produce was low and
not in much demand.
lcan on the 10th, without having effected any ar
rangement with the Haytien government. In the
first place, he proposed to let twelve years pass be-
fore any claim Tor debt should be presented TO
them, provided they would give to French vessels
an exclusive privilege of trading to the Island. This
was Indignantly refused in true negro style
"Worrah, sar! we not going to do dat"
Then he proposed to give them five years without
interest on the debt, provided French vessels were
admitted on payment Of half tonnage duties. The
black philosophers in power, rolled up the white Of
eyes at this looked at each other and replied as the
Haytian officer recently did to an American Mid
s.iipman who had landed HIM on pier at Port au
Prince from the sloop Of war cambridge "Here,
sar, take dis;'' throwing the MILDLY a quarter
of dollar with an extravagant toss of the head,
ego board your ship and transact your duties ~
The Midshipman pocketed the quarter and went
so did NJ. Barrot with part of the French debt.
Ii thus appears that M. Barrot has returned home
and the Haytiens abide by the treaty Of 1880. They
have paid g350,0O0 on the debt, S20O,000 OF which
is already in Paris The next instalment Of $780,
900 is due in July next.

We make this correction with great pleasure.
The person whose name was in the list OF assets
was named "Meiggs." Mr.. ii. Meigs, ex-alder-
man, and formerly Member of Congress, has, we
believe, been uniformly opposed to all these bub'
bles; and has passed through long life of honor
and responsibility without ever furnishing his name
by any connection with such bubbles.

But about 8 o'clock, there being only 80 members

Mr.. WELLER moved an adjournment, which was

DECLINE OF THE MERCANTILE LIBRARY Assoch-
T1oN.-We perceive with regret that this asso-
citation, which commenced with such cheering
prospects of long continued prosperity, and which
under wise and judicious management was SO ad-
mraby calculated to promote the best interests Of
large class in this community, has recently been
experiencing the effects of very rapid decline. In
one year the subscriptions have fallen off to the ex
tent of one thousand. 1t could hardly be other
wise. The narrow and exclusive system of ma
nagement adopted-the want of liberal and en-
lightened spirit, and the impotency of the general
movement of those into whose hands its destinies
have been committed, could lead to nothing else.
Now the cause of this decline may consist in the
extensive republication, in cheap form, of the
tarent literature of the day, and the writings of the
most distinguished authors in all departments o.
literature. Those who really appreciate and enjoy
reading can now purchase and possess themselve!
of all the best books in our language, at less ex
pense than in connection with any institution. Blu
the decline of the Mercantile Library Association
we believe, is mainly to be attributed to gross err
rors in its management. We hope it is not toe
late to rectify them.
