MI EHfNFfEN (lNOklu4 dClv@n hitl llt.l
around hjm) "Ah! said no geaEeman
would OBJECT" Mr.. Schenck had nGs
heard the objection by Mr.. Sidc!I. nop bad
Sfdell heard the Iatterremark. hy Schenck.
When some "gC0d naturad friend retail
ed it 10 him, he was Of course thrown IN
TO great excitement by it, and the matter
was made the subject Of verlal cores
pondence, between mutual friends. The
true un1nfs'a ardj1g Of the circumstances,
as known 10 each party separately, Of course
removed any misunderstanding which
might havc followed.
Mcconnell, it is said, shook hiz fist IN the
direction Of either Mr.. Cidd,ngs or MI.
Schnnck. and sau fed himself herewith.
Mr. G'i3iugs made shor. work with
Black charges, By prono9Dcng them all
al ke false, mean. and malignant. lie went
on tn express IN very sig ifcant language
the contempt which be- entertained for
Black. and which every wit~ess Of the
scene shared with him. In the course Of
his remarks, a man by the name Of D'w-
son, from Louisiana, who in the 27tb Com
gre=s threatened to cut the throat Of Mr..
Arnold GpoH the floor Of the House, was
noticed to pave hs seat, and walk in the
direction Of that Of Mr. Giddings. with the
exclamation, Damn him III shoot him.
lie did not carry ont the threat, however,
because perhaps he was arrested by hrs
friends
Aboqt the e7me time. Plrck left his seat,
which is on the oonos'tp side Of the House
to Gliding ,akiog with him hi7 sword
cane. and going around under the gallery
behind the Speakers chair, re-entered up
on the foor at the seat next to hat from
which Gil ings was sgeakiNg. lie bad
been there Iu, q little while before he
threatened to knock down Giddings if h.
dared to repeat some remark be had made.
! | presume it was repeated, for directly az
t=r, Black was seen hou-ishing his cane
over his head AZ if about to make erular
descent upon Giddings, and appeared to
{ be struggling in the arms OF his friends and
. admirers. MANY friends also gathered ~
j, round Nr. GjdIlngs, who was evidently
Iquitn unds,urhed by the blus.erings Of the
"h0norabla" bully before him.
! And this is the dignity Of the House oF
n Representatives. It is certainly a grea.
pity that any body irtarferod, and thas
t Black bad not been allowed TO pitch into
/ GMdtncs, for had he done 50. in three Sec
r. oDds time j. is quite probable there would
f. have been not three sound bones in h.5
t carcass. The dignity of The House would
e not have loen in the least abatad hy tn
= proceeding, as It could not have aggravated

" the scene.

But the general impression seems to be that

House in haIfan hour. It is said by some.
however, that the whole thing is merely =
movement on the part of the Old Colo1el
to obey instructions and defeat annexation
p; the same time. by dividing its friends.
The iont resolutions passed, is on tha
whole the worst form in which annexation
has been presented. except Tv'er's treaty.
: This proposition of Mr.. Renton's is worse
than that in that it does not inclu 3p anv
provision against the assumption of the
debts of Texas, which the other does. Mr..
Polk will. Of course. appoint commissions
ers, who will make such treaty as will
please the South and the Texan script Job
hers, and The LoCofoco Congress will con-
firm their doings.
Bat enough of Texas for the present.
The kitchen cabinet have got no farther
than the nomination Of Mr.. Buchanan, for
+ Secretary of State. This. however. DASH
es to the ground the bright hopes Of Mr..
Walker. That aspiring gentleman will
now be slowed away in some comparative
" obscure corner But he will work out.

To-Day the President has sent in the nomi-

to oust him. Our "friend and pitcher" Mr..
Graham, don't 90 down as Consul to Bue-

and really ought to be confirmed, butI fear
he wont be.
Great efforts are making to have tho
widow of Senator Linn made postmaster
