SIR: Your note of last evening was hand
ed to me at IL NJ, to day. Your explana-
tiou in regard to my son being now explicit,
have no hesitation in saying that if you had
excepted him from your charge or not made
it general, | would not have deemed myself
warranted in repelling it in the aords of
which you complain as offensive, and which,
in consequence Of yOur explanation, now
withdraw.
am also informed by your note that, if
you had not been mistaken in relation to my
remarks on the subject of your misrcpresenta-
tion Of my sentiments, you would at the in
slant have made proper response This
likewise enables me to say that, in my closing
remarks explanatory to the Senate of my
share in an exciting debate upon subject
not relevant to anything before that body,
and the responsibility for the introduction of
which rested solely with you, | should have
withdrawn, as | now do, the second offensive
remarks if you had made the same sdtastac-
tory explanation then you have now made.

the same power is about to deprive us Of the
Overland Mails. The st. Louis correspond

lation to this matter.
"The House Post Office Committee, it has
been intimated. will cndeavor to bring for
ward proposition at their next meeting,
which comes off in a few days hence, to abol

view, in which any of the opposition agree.
the House has voted down the ocean mail
service and the consular bills, and show dis
position to slaughter as many appropriations
as possible. 1t is not idle, therefore. to fear
that the Overland Mail service will be suffice

The present National Administration may
yet force the people west of the Rocky

the favors are all against them, and erect a

had a rich feast over the Washington cores

was good authority for the unprincipled Le
compton villifers of Broderck and it was
made the authority and text for many til

that Broderiek has stood up in his place in
the Senate, and told the country that, the
statement contained in that correspondence
was untrue. How many of the Lecompton
papers who have published and commented
upon the statement of the Tribune. will have
the manliness to publish Senator Broderick's
denial, and own that their remarks were made
under misapprehension of factsP We shall

SIR; Your note of yesterday was handed
me this morning In reply, have to say
that you yesterday made charge that the
lately appointed federal officers in Illinois
were corrupt, dishonest men-or words to
that effect You knew my sJn to be of those
officers, and you could not expect me to hear
such a charge without prompt denial of its
truth. pronounced it to be, to your knowl.
edge, untrue. You subsequently SO modified
it as to satisfy me that you excepted my son
from the general charge, although you did
not name him. and made TO other issue with
you on that subject, When, at a subsequent
period of your remarks you attributed to me
statements which had not made, requested
that in quoting me you would do SO truth
fully. These remarks were certainly not "de-
liberately premeditated," but they cannot be
qualified correctly as the "impulse of momen-
tary passion" The first was prompted by
determination to defend the honor and
character Of my son, as dear to me as my own,
against an attack SO general in its terms as
necessarily to include him; and the second
was the exercise of my right to rectify mis-
representation of my own remarks

WASHINGTON, Jan. 22-94 p. N.
SIR: Your note of this date has Just been
placed in my hands | admit without hest
tation, your right and duty to do justice to
the reputation of your son. At the same time
| maintain my right, in the discharge of my
duty as Senator to comment freely and fully
on the character of Executive appointments
especially in my own State. deny, how
ever, that my general remarks in relation to
the list of Illinois appointees, confirmed by
the Senate during my absence, could be fair
ly interpreted to embrace your son. When
you seemed so to construe them, | promptly
replied that what | had said of the Illinois
appointments was true as a general rule, but
that there were exceptions, among whom
recognized some of my own friends. Allud-
ing particularly to your son, | added that
had nothing to say in regard to the merits of
his appointment, choosing to leave that ques
tion where | placed it 10y my remarks to the
Senate during the last session, in your pres
ence, at the time of his confirmation. You
now admit that you understood this expana.
tion to exempt your son from the application
of my general remarks; and yet, you have
failed to withdraw the offensive language
but, on the contrary, at a subsequent stage of
the debate, when apologizing for breach of
Senatorial decorum. you expressly declared
that you had nothing to retract-thus ap-
pearing, in my apprehension, to reaffirm the
Objectionable words.
As to the other ground of offence admitted
in your reply to my note, have to say that
did not understand you to assume to correct
mein a quotation of your language as l was
unconscious of making any such citation, but
to repeat the original offence in another form;
otherwise, would have made proper re-
sponse on the instant.
This explanation, which is due to us both,
on the points presented your reply, affords
you another opportunity of Withdrawing the
offensive words which you admit you applied
to me in yesterdays debate.

SYMPATHY OF THE NERVES. - When the
nerves from long habit have been accustom
ed to transmit their messages from distinct
parts, and are suddenly cut off from them,
they still retain along their trunks the sym
patn,tt::e or sensational actions. Thus, q man
who has had a leg amputate1 will feel dis
tinctly along the course of the trunk of the
nerve sensation from toes which no longer
exist The mind also is influenced by this; ;
and frequently this peculiar direct nervous
action can only be allayed by that which is
negative and reflex. A curious incident oc-
Cured within my own experience. An old
sailor suffered much from this, he retained
his diseased foot too long, but at last con-
sented to amputation. l knew him only with
q wooden leg When he had his nervous
pains. he always called for hot water, into
whirh he put his wooden stump. If told of
his folly in supposing that such proceeding
could do any good, he would become enrag-
ed, and his paroxysm of pain would increase;
but if gratifed, he took things easy, and the
process actually appeared to do him good,
though all must know there could be no real
benefit. Still, here is the effect of mind over
matter.-Ridge on Health and Disease.
