The Washington Star of Wedne sday says that
these gentlemen were both in the House Hall on
ihat day, and the general understanding among
the members was that no challenge or other cor
rcspondence relative to their late misunderstanding
had passed between them.
The Washington correspondent OF the PhIiadei-
phin Pennsylvania says:
"Burton Craige, Of North Carolina, believe
has no handle TO his name. If he Is Judge,
general, colonel, doctor, or divine. am not aware
o. the fact but know that he is a gentleman ol
decided ability, Of great energy of character OF
unqueslioned personal courage, and soun6iy

ssMr Hunt, of Louisiana is trife below me
medium height, but is firmly put together lie
formerly resided in Charleston, but has made New
Orleans his home since 1884. He is gentleman
of fair abilities, although not an effective public
speaker, and belongs 10 the ultra old line wing
school of politics. He is said 10 possess dsPo-
silion which rather courts than avoids "a gentle
passage of arms" This is both Mr.. Hunts and
Mr.. Craige's first session.

The Oregon Pca-BeWare of EHMn,bsss

Again and again it becomes our duty TO expose
humbugs. We have recently heard of the sale o!
the Oregon Pea at the rate Of Eighty Dollars per
bushe and think it high time to open the eyes OF
our readers at to what it really is. This pea is no
thing in South Carolina--having been cutI-
waited for the last eight ten years by friends,
Coils. R. J. Gage and d. Johnson, Of Union Dis
rict. From these gentlemen we once procured the
seed, and have frequently had g fancy patches ="
Of it, amounting 10 next to nothing, as far utility
is concerned. :" 1t grows best on rich land," but
makes toera6le rank weed on thin land. 1t has
been used by our Union friends TO rephnt cotton
fields, for which, from lis upright growth it is ad-
mrabIy apted. We once fell in upon two agr-
cultural friends, one the Editor Of leading South
ern Agricultural Journal, who were about sending
It out 10 fame, as so mea0 Uetch,' we'll adapted TO
Southern latitudes. he application of little TO-
onical science soon put them right, and the recon-
mandatory article designated 1t properly as the
Oregon Pea.
We fear many agrcul;urists throughout The South
will be immensely gulIed, so long they continue
to buy seeds Of new products from The puffery Of
advertisements alone. We do not object to the
planters OF the South trying the Oregon Pea, but
do object to the high commentators of inter-
ested seed hucksters, who style these things " the
greatest agricultural discovery of this or any 9TH
er age" and assert that it far exces for beauty
and luxuriance, any vegetable production ever
seem" Such terms only used to make the
seed sell, and there is of dishonesty in the
thing which we cannot countenance. In point of
usefulness and value, the Oregon Pea can never
compare with the varieties of field peas commonly
cultivated in the South All plants Of the iegum.
