A FRAcAs IN CoNGREss.-Some ffy years
ago.-The Buffalo Express relates the following
Renaissance of the Congr( SIS of 1897. Ii is
drawn ont by tie late scene between Foote and
Benton, in the Senate. But this was in the
House of Representatives, and therefore, not 20
strange:
Roger Griswold was one of the very first men
OF his day-so understood and appreciatedthrough-
out the country. He was the acknowledged
leader of the House of Representatives, and no
one of his contemporaries was held in higher es-
timation in all the relations of life.
The difficulty arose between him and Mathew
Lyon, Il member from Vermont, arose in this
wise Lyon was bantering Griswod about the
continued predominance of the federal party in
Connecticut, and finally boosted that he could
revolutonize the State in three months. Girls
void replied in the same tone--he did not doubt
Lyons power to achieve the feat and after sug-
gesting the mlduS OperGHdi, told pertinent sto-
ry of Lyon, in which the lattey appeared in a
very ludicrous light. There was hearty laugh
among the half dozen members who were
grouped together on the floor of the house.
Lyon was eXasperated, and being a hot temper
ed man, was guilty of the gross vulgarity of
splitting in his face Mr.. Griswod was a man
of uncommon physical power, full of spirit and
| resoution but he had great command of him
self, and restraining his first impulse to strike his
assalant down, he determined to await the ac-
ton of the House. There was an invesga-
ton, and an attempt to eXpel Lyon but he was
under the protection of the majority, and them as
now every thing was controlled by party con.
siderations, and the matter was CLOSED over
Mr.. Griswold awaited patiently the result of
the investigation, and on finding the House de-
termined TO do nothing, Immediately took the
business into his own hands, and finishing it
coolly and summarily, but thoroughly He en-
tered the House prepared with serviceable cud-
gel, and after the Speaker had called to order,
arose in his place and addressed the Chair
81 have remained quiescent, sir, expecting to
see this House vindcate its own honor, outraged
by the ndignty offered to one of its members
The House refuses to do so and it now be-
comes my duty to redress the insult to the State
of Connecticut in my person. So far as am
concerned, sir, should not select this Hall to
chastise the vulgar insolcnce of the member
from Vermont. But an aflront offered 10 a
sovereign must be avenged as publicly as it was
given"
ons twice-not with his whole strength, for he
could have Drained him with single blow
Lyon seized the tongs Immediately, and as no
was supported by a considerable number of his
friends, there was for a moment some aprehen-
sions of general fight But the famous Dan
iel Morgan sprang to the side of Mr.. Griswod
and the great size and strength of the two men,
evidently equal to a contest with dozen ordina-
ry assailants, overawed their antagonists and
the affray terminated

TRUE SUBLMITY.-The eloquent and thrill
ling response eff kossuth to the Sultan's demand,
that he should renounce his religious and en-
brace Mahommedanism, is worthy of Luther,
and of being regarded among those memorable
sayings that in times of trial have been uttered
bv those who have been encouraged and sus-
tanned by the uufaltering trust inspired by the
Christian faith. my ans,oer does not admit Of
hesitation. Bettceen death and shame The choice
can neither be dubious nor difficult. Governor
of Hungry, and elected to that high place by the
confidence of fifteen millions of my countrymen,

exile. Even as private individual have an
honorable path to pursue. Once governor OF

Mr.. Elihu Burritt says, in the Christian Citi-

physical revolution supervenes to check its pro-

Uses OF CHAECoAL.-The Horticulturist for
April publishes the following report of an exper
iment made by c. Robinson, of New Haven:
'My cistern, holding some fifteen hogsheads,
is filed from the roof of my house, standing near
a street much frequented, although regularly We
tered during the summer season. Whether the
difficulty has arisen from the dust from the street.
or from the fact that grapevine ove.hangs a
part of the roof or because the cistern is closely
covered the water has nearly all the time had
slight unpleasant smell. Last summer the diff
Guilty became so great that ! was compelled to
have the cistern empued and thoroughly secured.
This winter the trouble has been greater than
usual; so great as to drive me to the unweicome
conclusion, that my cistern must be again bro
ken up, empted and cleansed.
"Such was the condition of things when |
made the experiment above described; and very
naturally went step farther Taking about six
quarts of clean charcoal, finely powdered, wet
il thoroughly in pail, and then poured it through
the water pipe into my cistern.
ain ten days the whole difficulty was removed.
Indeed. the water became clear, pure, sweet
and soft as the pursst which falls from the sky.

sioual district Of Massachusetts have unanimous

sRappings' I'm Cortland Co.--Fate of Sir
John franklin.
Correspondence of the n. Y. Tribune.
l.

ScoTT, Cortland Co, Wednesday, May L.
Last evening number of young people were
assembled at the house of Mr.. Cottrell, in this
town. for the purpose of conversing with the spirit
rappings; and as MIR. Cottrell and myself had held
communications with the spirit in regard to tho
origin of the Aborignes of this country, we pro
ceeded to ask few questions at this tme--to
all of which we received Satisfactory answers;
and, after conversing upon various interesting
subjects, the conversation turned upon the fate
and whereabouts of Sir John Franklin, about
whom so much interest has been manifested by
all civilized nation; but whose fate has up to this
time beeu shroudsd in nystery. The first ques-
ton asked was, sis he Yet lving" to which we
received an affirmative tnswer. us he where
the Esquimaux reported faat they saw him? -
No. "Did he find Northwest Passage and
sail through Behring's Straits?"--"Yes.' The
question was then asked if the spirit would spell
out the name of the place where he is at pres
ent; and it spelled out YOngtong, which we found
ut by further inquiries was cily situated 100
miles from Jeddo, on the southwestern coast of
the island of Niphon, the largest of the Japanese
group. The spirit revealed that, after experience
ing almost unparalleled hardships in finding
passage, he had gone TO the island for the pur-
pose OF trading with the natives that he was at
tackled by them, and after obstinate resistance,
in which part of his men were killed, himself
and the remainder were taken prisoners. They
were placed in close confinement, where they
have been l. months, and are treated with the
greatest cruelty and insult
To all who are acquainted with the character
of the Japanese, the treatment of Sir John and
his crew is not matter of wonder, as it is well
known that they will neither trade I.or hold COM
muuication with any Christian nation except the
Dutch, while to the English they appear to owe
a particular hatred. AS regards the city of Yont-
long, its distance from Jeddo, or whether it in re-
atty exists, we have no means al present of as
certaining, but presume those bettar acquainted
with the geography of those islands will be able
to tell.
The spirit with whom we held these commu-
nications purported to be that of Daniel Cotrell,
a sea-captau, and brother of Peleg Cotrell, at
whose house the rappings are heard. He had
visited almost every quarter of the earth, and be-
ing studous observer OF men and things, was
consequently man of extensive international
man acknowledged by those who knew him to
be of kind, benevolent disposition, ever ready
to do what he could for the cause of Humanity,
being the same disposition which he manfests
now, as he has in several cases prescribed RENE
dies for the sick, and appears ever ready and
willing to advise those who ask it in sincerity
of heart.
Placing implicit confidence as we do in the
truth of these revelations we deemed it to be our
Duty and due to the cause of Humanity, to make
them known to the public.

NARROW ESCAPE ON LAKE WINNEBAGo.-
Some ten days since four men, while engaged in
rafting timber on Lake Winnebago, near Long
Point, were overtaken by a storm at night
The raft was soon torn TO pieces. Three OF the
men got into the boat, and were, by constant
bailing, enabled to reach the eastern shore in
safety. The other could not be induced to get
into the boat, but hung to the floating timbers,
and was drifted across the lake to Calumet
His legs and arms were badly bruised by the
conclusion of the timbers Under the circum-
stances, his escape seems miraculous. Their
names we have not learned.
