personal explanation made by Mr. PEARcE referr-
ing to the difficulty which occurred yesterday between
Messrs DAVIS and BENJAMIN. He explained that mis-
understanding from his respecting the
ter of Major Bell and other documents
1t manifest that the Senators were speaknr of
different papers causing different view facts and is
equally obvious that neither would have taken different
view had they been in possession of the data He
would however, add that in the Senator's Mssssipp
second remark was apery of tone which would not
have used had the facts been presented to him.
Mr.. DAVIS replied, saying that the misunderstanding
had arisen from the stated There was however
some justification in the delicate position he placed to-
wards the Secretary of War and his mind it appeared
as if an mpuation implied that he wished to under
mine recommendation of the Secretary of War by di-
yerting the appropriation he asked to other objects
His manner not offensive on intention and it was
due to himself to say that he incapable of inurng
the feelings of Anger is contagious and he had
ings in his remarks.
If his manner unfortunate and his friends tell him
it is occasionally dogmatc dctatoa he attributed
partly to his military training and he looked no other
wise than kindly on the Senator from Louisiana.
Mr. BENJAMIN replied He said he felt the embarrass
ment OF an explanation But he would appeal confident
V to his brother Senators that had he
hibted any but courteous bearing towards them Pa
ent himself of difference Of opinion he for the
courtesy msplf he
words uttered in debate might leave no sting
He was utterly asonished yesterday when the Senator
from Mississippi exhibited what at the time did fee,
was aspery towards him, although the explanation now
made 1T less astounding, and it natural he (Mr Ben
Jamlnl should exhibit some feeling, although, he hoped
tempered with that dignity due to the Senate
He had respect indeed without attery admiration of
the Senator and he would be happy forget all between
them except the pleasant passage of this morning
