A DUEr.-There is said to he "pis-
tolls and coffee for two," on the tapis
at Washington. 1t is reported that
young Bennett, son of the editor of
the New York Herald, has challenged
Roger A. Pryor, NJ. G. from Virginia,
who in his place in the House of Rep
rescntatives, made slanderous rehec-
tions upon the chastity Of the young
mans mother. Pryor virtually called
John Hickman a liar, and was several
times called to order by his own col
leagues. The Herald commented on
this procedure rather severely, when
Pryor denounced Bennett with all the
venomous bitterness he could CON-
mand, and went so far as to assail
the chastity of Mrs. Bennett. 1t is
now reported that the son of the ira
duced lady has resolved to remove the
stigma with blood. He is said to be
full Of pluck and capital shot.

its provisions. He moved that the
bill lie on the table and be printed.
Mr. Witter said the majority were
opposed to the principle of allowing
the traffic in liquors by law,-opposed
to allowing drunkards to be made by
law. No law preventing drunkenness
could be enforced without the moral
sentiment of the community sustained
it. No man could have a moral char
acter and desire to sell Intoxicating
liquors. He regarded its sale as a
crime.
Mr.. Bennett spoke against the pres
ent law.
Mr.. Poet was in favor of license
law.
Mr.. Bracewcll was satisfied the pres
ent law did not accomplish the object
desired. ..
Mr.. Bowdoin said he wished the law
printed. The Democrats had made a
plank in their last platform for the re-
peal of the present law, but he did not
make it an issue. We needed some
change in the present law,-somc-
thing the better to promote temper
ance,-to prevent the traffic in alco-
holic liquors.
Mr.. Ellis was in favor of a change
of the law
Mr.. Moser was in favor of some
stringent law to prevent drunkenness.
The motion to print 500 was carried.
An interesting railroad meeting was
held in the Representative Hall on
the evening of the 30th ult, and the
merits and dcmerits of different rail-
road interests were discussed at
length. Among those who took part
in the discussion were Mr.. Gelpcke OF
New York, who is interested in the
company which lately received the
transfer of the Air Line road, called
the Dubuque, Marion and Western
Company Hon. D. S. Wilson, DR.. Ed.
Stimson and Platt Smith, of Dubuque :;
Mr.. Croker, President of the Chicago,
Iowa & Nebraska road Mr.. Hender-
son of Marshall, and others. The dis.
cussion was to be res umed at future
meeting.
The House, on the 3lst ult. passed
a bill, A to SO, providing that the rate
of interest on delinquent taxes shall
be 10 per cent. from the date of delin-
qncncy. A bill, substantially the
same, has also passed the Senate.

February 8, 1860.

The vote cast by Henry Winter Da'
Wis of Baltimore for Gov. Pennington
as Speaker of the U. S. House of Rep
resentatives, is one of great signifi
canoe. 1t is certain that Mr.. Davis's
action is Indicative of a powerful and
rapidly increasing hostility among his
constituents to the domination of the
slavery propagandists by whom they
have been ruled. Without the GER
tainty of backing at home that vote
never would have been cast. The
vote itself and the assurances which
must have preceded it, are proof that
in 1860 the Opposition party in Mary
land will be an element in the election
which cannot be overlooked His ele-
walton above mere partisan considera-
tons, and his boldness, arc worthy of
all praise.

kANsAs.-A number Of leading dem
ocratic politicians are now at Wash.
ington looking after the question Of
the admission of Kansas as a State
into the Union. 1t is proposed to alter
the Western boundary, which is on
the 25th meridian, longitude west from
Washington, under the Wyandottc
constitution-extcnding it to the sum.
nit of the Rocky mountains, and the
northern line of the Platte river. This
alteration is designed to make the
State democratic, by including 5000
settlers at Pixies Peak. Ifpassed it
would require new elections for Con-
gress, Legislature and the like. The
programme is for the Senate to amend
the House bill as stated, and in the
event Of its refusal to accept the al.
iteration, to exclude Kansas the pres
ent session.
