Explained.

Explained.
Soon after Senator Sumner made his
great speech on the "barbarism of Sla
very" week or two ago, certain persons
found access to his room on false pre-
lenses, with the evidently apparent de-
sign of assassinating him. The matter
created very intense feeling, not only
in Washington, but throughout the
country. The vigilant watchfulness of
his friends rendering an assault upon
him unsafe, and the popular Indignation
becoming unmistakable, an explanation
of the affair is at length given. A
Southern gentleman named Henry, an
officer in the United States Army, takes
upon himself the whole responsibility
He gives, in extenuation, that he was
very much intoxicated, and under the
influence Of liquor, fancied himself the
representative Of the South, and that he
was in honor bound to punish the Sena-
tor Tor delivering MS speech. lie apolO-
gizes for the act and declares that in his
sober hours he would be incapable of
such conduct. This explanation, if true,
relieves the transaction Of the appear
ance of a conspiracy to murder the Sen
ator, as Brooks and his fellow -ruhians,
attempted to do four years ago. But it
is not a very pleasant reflection that
there is such state of sentiment exist
ing in the circle of the ADMINISTRATION,
that will allow men in high position to
attempt the murder of Senators for re-
marks in debate, and falling in their
purposes, retain their offices and stand

conversation with the writer he discov-
cred that he had been somewhat deceived
and informed the Committee that he
wished to prosecute the matter no far
ther, and now took pleasure in saying
that nothing whatever had been brought
to light rejecting in any manner on that
gentleman s character.
Mr.. Campbell said this explanation
was creditable to Mr.. Winslow's head
and heart, who could have been actuated
by no other desire than to discharge his
duty in the premises. The friends of
Mr.. Scranton anticipated such a result
as they knew no stain could rest on his
public or private character.

MIR. Florence, by unanimous consent,
read proposition for information, set
ting forth that the resolutions of censure
passed on the President, on the Sth inst,
were unconstitutional, and authorizing
the Speaker to write over them 'Ex-
plunged by order Of the House" The
proposition was withdrawn, after a hu-
morous debate upon it.
