General 10. Lane, the delegate from Oregon,
acted a manly part the close Of the session
Of the late Congress. "The better day the better
deed in this case. On Sunday morning, rising 10
a personal explanation, he apologizcd both TO the
House, (the decorum of which he had violated,
on former occssion,) and to Mr. Farley, toward
whom, in the heat OF debate he had hastily ap-
piled language Of character naturally calculated
to arouse resentment. Had il not been for the
interference oil friends, there would have been
something more than earnest and violent gesticu.
laiions. But General Lane wished TO part with
that gentleman and everybody on terms Of friend
ship; and Mr.. Farley reciprocated the feelings
expressed by the gallant soldier declaring that he
was perfectly satisfied with the explanation.
As the offence was committed before the
House, il was there, very properly, repaired. We
doubt not that every one present, while regretting
that any occurrence had interrupted for brief
season, the friendship which had existed between
those two generally esteemed gentlemen, was
grstifed with the reconciliation. How much
better than resort 10 the duello!

The Speakership


The periinaeity with which the admin straiion
democrats adhere TO their caucus nominee, in
the House of Representatives. in spite of the OBJ
vious mpossibility of electing him, creates II
suspicion that they have some disguised object to
be accomplished by thier course. The danger of
having an abolition Speaker chosen. imminent
as it is does not seem to have awakened their
alarm. or disturbed their original scheme. The
impression is now general, and seems well found
ed that they are trying to compel combination
between the Americans and fusionsts-aud the
election of an abolition Speaker--in order to
make capital ont of il for the Presidential cleo
ton. The neglect of the public business re-
sulting from the delay in the organization. the
waste Of the peoples money at the rate of three
thousand dollars day.the unseemly spectacle of
wrangling and discordant House Of Representa-
tives. and, last and worst. the danger and dis
grace Of permitting abolitionism te triumph. and
take possession of pest the second in influence
and power in the goyernment-all these things
pass for nothing with these political jugglers, If
