ceedlngs in the triGl of DR. Webster, for the
murder Of DIR. Pafkman, at the Medical College 10

terday, The seventh day. Thus far, sixty wit
nesses have been examined on the part of the
prosecution. but great many more are yet ia re-

eighty-six to be examined. This extraordinary

OUR SPECIAL TEfE0RAPHlC CORRESPONDENCE.
WAsHIsersS, March 20, 1850.
This has been exciting day in Washington, rs
you will perceive by the proceedings Of the two
report Of which You will receive BY telegraph
In regard to what transpired IN the House, the
general impression H. that II Mr.. King do not make
full apology, be viii be expelled from that body
There sstsrrble confusion the Senate caused BY
personal alteration between Senators Benton and Foote
MIR Foote, too Is condemned for the which he
pursued and Mr. Fillmore is blamed considerably for
allowing such scene to proceed, bat he Is partly
eused his hearing h rather defective and he may not
have heard sll that trapspired IL is thought that
this unfortunate buriness will not end very Or
very pescsaby In fact boodshed is expected before
Is finally disposed Of II il feared that this slterca-
ticn will have serio1s effect the settlement OF the
slavery question. In this connection, may mention
that 10 expected large party will rally around Mr.
Benton In opposition to Mr.. Foote'S committee Of
thirteen. There can be question that the
Of TO- day widen considerably the breach be-
tween the North and South, and Of course render q
settlement Of the great question more dnhsult and
more distant than ever
The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1850-03-27


II is with great .earet that we hear Of such pro-
ceedings in C.asrcs., as took place in both houses
yesterday. AT this distance from the scene, we can
hardy form Just opinion Of who is right, or who
Is wrong, as regards the alteration between Sena
tors Benton and Foote, in the venerable body to
which they belong. Both, however, are, in our
opinion, to blame; Mr.. Foote, for commencing
personal attack on Mr.. Benton, and the latter gen.
tleman, for continuing It. In fact, there Is not
great deal to choose between them. The course
of each was unworthy of the position and charac.
ter of the Senate. While it is to be admitted that
both Of the gentlemen were rather hasty, the Ian
guage used by them, and their conduct on the
occasion, show the deep feeling which exists on
the slavery question IN Congress We would
not be at all surprised to hear of hostile
meeting taking place between the two Sena
tors, although we trust that nothing of the
kind will occur. If there be bloodshed, in
consequence OF anything growing out of this
unfortunate slavery question, its settlement will be
delayed for an indefinite time if not for ever. We
had hoped that the worst Of the excitement was
over, but we now entertain most serious fears for
the future.
In.the House, the proceedings were of an equally
exciting character We are of opinion that Mr..
King ls in error. We think the Speakers expla-
nation of the alterations in the journal, ought to
have satisfied Mr.. King that no wrong was To-
tended. Such, we think, will be the tenor of the
report of the committee of investigation who have
been appointed to look into the charge.
The application of Mr.. Forrest for a divorce
from his wife has been virtually denied by the
Legislature of Penney lvana-or. rather has been
referred to the in Philadelphia, to be tried,
we suppose, before jury, on fe,gned issue, ac-
cording to the usual of such proceedings.
This will be more satisfactory to Mrs Forrest, as
she will have an opportunity of submitting TO the
jury evidence to disprove the charges which have
been made against her, and rebut the evidence
which Mr.. Forrest brought before the Legislature,
and explain away the impressions which he formed
from the information that reached him.

RAILROAD DEPARTMENT.

Our neighbors of Minnesota have almost ira
ced the line Of Rail Road from St. Pauls to
Lake Superior, making distance of some two
hundred miles. The suggestion is made by the
Chronicle and Register, accompanied by some
we'll digested remarks.
A glance at the map of Minnesota and the
northern region contiguous thereto, will be suf-
cient to satisfy the most skeptical observer that
Lake Superior must be made tributary to the
wants of our northern neighbors, if not to our
own; and that this tribute can be best exacted
by means of Locomotive transit, no one will
doubt.
Whether not ST. Paul should be made one
ofthe points oftermini is quite another question,
and does not necessarily connect itself with the
mere general question of connecting the great
Lake to great River. That question we leave
our northern neighbors to discuss, but on the
main question, we shall vote for the suggestion
of the Chronicle and Register.
