High Words Between Fitch and Douglas

WASHINGTON. January 2l.-In Executive session
Of the Senate to-day an angry and exciting discus
sion arose between Judge Douglas and Senator
Fitch when words were used which it Is thought
must lead to duel The debate occurred on the
question Of confirming Potter, Of Ohio, rs Colec-
tor of Toledo Mr.. puSh opposed Poter's nomi-
nation. rs the man displaced was his friend. He
said il tho President desired an issue with
him (pugh) he was ready for It, lie denounced
the appointment, aud called on every senator who
was his (Pugh's) friend to vote ngainstit. Doug
las responded, saying he would vote with the SEN
ator from Ohio. He then branched off on the H.
linois appointments. and said they were dishonest
corrul1 and incompetent. Senator Fitch, interro-
gated D,uglus and said it was untrue Douglas
again reiterated what he had said. Fitch again
said it was untrue Cries Of order were then made
Douglas continued his debate. Fitch replied to
Douglas with great bitterness, and said that sena-
tors knew how to prize anything coming from that
quarter. Cries Of order were again made Douglas
then replied, and was called to order. Motions
were thrn made that Douglas be allowed to 20 on
in order. jeff. Davis opposed it, and said, turn
ing I, Douglas he had listened with Indignation
To the language used, and 1t WAS that Of a high
wayman am, bravo. The debate continued for
some line, when motion was made and the
Senate sadiourned 1t is said the lie was given
and the most severe personal remarks made.

own exehequer being dilapidated. With her he
visited America, where the climate proved unia-
vorable to a constitution weakened by every kind
OF excess. His health grew rapidly desperate,
and, lingering in Illness he existed only long
enough To SEQ his cher Paris once more, his
death taking place almost Immediately upon his

TALL WALKlNa.--We have in our mind one of
most wonderful feats of pedestrnnism which, if it
were not well substantnted, would he difficult of
belief 1t took place number of years ago. Mr..
Schoolcraft, residing Mt Sault st. Marie wished to
send an express to Mackinac, distant by the trail
about seventy-hve miles. lie sent for half breed
called la Brach. and told him that he must 60 e.
Mackinac, and that he must start at l2
o'clock, NJ. that day. La Branch objected,
as there was to DO ball in the evening
Of the next day. Schoolcrntt told him that
he must 60. and that he wanted to attend
the ball. it he was back from Mackinac by 10 o.
clock the next evening. he would give him tweaty
dollars extra pay. AT 10 o'clock ho started, and
the next day at 10 p. ", appeared again having
gone the whole disancc-l50 mies-in "a hours
Alter receiving the promised twenty dollars. he
said che could have been in by 8 o'clock. but he
waited two hours ON the hill back oftown, for fear
that he might get in ahead Of time. and lose his
money" After leaving Mr. Schoolcraft's store,
La Branch went to the hall. and tripped the moe
! cosined toe until daylight.
