MR, GIDDIEGS AT HOME.
! Mr.. Giddingsis now at home. We have con-
! versed with him, and obtained knowledge of the
circumstances attending his late indisposition.
On Saturday, 18th Of January. an interesting
discussion was going in the House of Repre-
sentatives, upon private bill. Important prin.
cip.es were involved, and much interest was
awakened in regard to it. Mr.. Gddings was do.
ivering his views on the subject, and had spoken
some twenty minutes when his sight suddenly
failed. INSTANTLY feeling that lie was seized in the
manner in which he attacked last year, he on.
deavored to sit down before falling.-He states
that he recollects feeling the arms of his chair
with his hands, but his recollection failed at that
point. Those present informed him that he
dropped into the chair. Ills head dropped back
and the whole system appeared lifeless. lie was
carried from the Hall amid great confusion, to tho
lobby behind the Speakers chair. was placed q
sofa and the usual resturatives for faintny were
resorted to; but the physicians declared that they
could discover neither breath nor pulse. The door
keeper marked the time, and states that eight
minutes elapsed before there were any apparent
signs of life
At this time his body presented the appearance
ot death Ills face was pale and corpse-like, which
was conclusive evidence that it was not apoplexy.
There were subsequently heavngs of the chest.
and apparently some suffering, Of which he was

so closely. that the Speaker directed him to be re-
moved to the room appropriated to that officer;
and some OF the Ohio delegation held short con-
sultation and sent for the principal physicians of
the city. lie was lying on the sofa and it was
thought best to remove him in that situation but
while on the way to the Speakers room, be ap-
peared to suffer intensely, aud after he was set
down there he suffered less, and there was less ap-
pearance of lie,and many supposed the last strug-
gle to be past
The physicians, however, commenced systematic
efforts to restore life. The feet and hands were
placed in warm water, mustard poultces wero
placed on each limb. large poultice Of mustard
was placed on the breast, and another upon the
back OF the neck, and flesh brushes were used to
restore circulation.

and gave evidence of recovering. AT 5 O'Clock be
was carried to his lodgings, while sitting up in
! large chair.
lie states that when he first recovered ecu.
sciousness, the past was perfect blank but his
memory improved with every hour of sound sleep,
until it is now nearly restored. His nervous sys.
TEN was OF course greatly affected, and has not
yet recovered. His first and principal means of
restoration were to turn his mind from business
particularly from subjects on which he had been
accustomed to reflect with unusual intensity. By
the advice of physicians and friends he left Wash
ngton as coon as he was able to travel and by easy
stages, reached home.
His physical health he regards as rapidly i'm
provingan his memory appears to have approved
IN II manner nearly corresponding with his physi-
cal system, He seeks exercise in the open air,
reads but little, sees company, and cultivates n
cheerlulness and ease Of mind. His physicians
encourage the hope that he may have years before
him, II he abstains from excitement and severe
mental labor; while he himself appears conscious
that Il recurrence of the attack must prove fatal
and that the time OF such recurrence is entirely
uncertain.
1t is his purpose soon able, TO arrange his
papers, and revise what he has written, and, if
able to place record some matters with which
circumstances have made him familiar, but with
which the public are not thoroughly acquainted.
Ills complaint is tyled "Atrophy Of the Heart"
Fugitive negro slaves have been known in Eng

CARS AND CoLoRED PEOPLE.-A few weeks ago
we took occasion to express decided dioappro-
.haton of the practice Of excluding decent colored
people from the city ears, while indecent white
are admitted to the disgust and annoyance of OWL
well dressed passengers. A SOatkera gentleman
writes to us his of our opinions, and elm
ches his remOnstrance by ordering his paper stop
ped.
The Richmond (Va.) Enquirer, as ultra South
timony as to the state of feeling in the South; and
it accords with own observation. The Enquirer
says:
"Our weathiest and most refined gentlemen
ride in the same with negroes without any
such display of uneasy apprehension. or vulgar
contempt. as was exhibited in the indignity upon
the Rev. DR.. Pennington"
We leave our southern CORRESPONDENT TO the en-
joyment Of his taste, which has neither religion
nor good sense to commend it; taste which is not
recognised as genteel in bis own part of the coun-
try, and which we would resist and despise il all
the rest of mankind thought as hs does. Tho
Richmond Enquirer speaks of the ''ndgnty" put
upon the Rev. DIR. Pennington, and condemns the
feeling that led to it as vulgar" We are happy
10 agree with the Eaqntrr.-N. Y. Obseru.
