The Pryor-Potter Dinculty md the Feel
ing in WuBhinEtOn.

The Pryor-Potter Diniculty and the Feel
ing in WuBhington.
The Washington correspondent of the New
York Evening Post writes thus on the 18th
instant:
The excitement in reference to the Pryor
Potter difficulty is dying out, and il is not
unlikely that both parties will be in their
places in the House tomorrow. Potter was
in the House Saturday for an hour or two,
and when'he came in fifty members rushed
to him in the cloak-room, and the general
look of dissatisfaction on the Democratic side
ofthe House, and of good humor on the other,
indicated with certainty which of the two
belligerent parties had the best position in
the quarrel. Soon after Mr.. Potter came in
he rose and reported a resolution from the
Uvmnlttee OF which lie is chairman, provid-
ing for Clerk. The resolution was persist
emily opposed by Barksdale and Bennett, but
they addressed Mr. Potter with much court
esy. When the vote was taken it was found
that the resolution was carried by over forty
majority. ..r.. ..,.aa lr..-.. .I.,.r.4s
On Friday evening the excitement was in
tense all over the city, especially at the
hotels. Nothing was heard but ''the duel"
and ''the code," and the case was discussed
in all its aspects. Some Democrats claim
that Pryor was perfectly right in declining o
brutal set-to with knives, and that it was not
within the scope of his intention when he
gave the chellonge; but there are other DEM
ocrats who declare it their opinion that Mr.
Pryor, after seeking TO shed the blood of Mr..
Potter, should not have objected to tho mode
of warfare, or, having done so, should be
more modest in the House of his reputation
as a duelist. The Republicans pretty gener-
ally consider Potter to have his adversary at
nm advantage, not that they or any one else
suppose that Pryor has not sufficient courage
for any undertaking or rencontre, but inas-
much as Potter has rendered him a conflict,
the barbarity of which shocks the Virginian,
it is a kind of triumph, certainly as great a
one as the duelist incurs who challenges
man who is conscientiously opposed to the
system as sin against God and man. '...!
There are not ten Republicans in the House
who do not regard the code with the same
feeling of adherence that Pryor's seconds
did the settlement with Bowie-knives. Un-
doubtedly the best way would have been for
Potter to have taken no notice of Pryor un-
less he had attacked him in the streets, but
outsiders can scarcely know how hard it is
for u brave man, one cOnsttutionally of a
bold, courageous nature, to sit stilland listen
to the taunts and challenges Of the fire.
