An Incident Revived.

A cruel threat of the Chicago Jour.
nal, that if Mr.. Congressman Logan
does not behave himself better, Henry
w. Blodgett, Of Waukegan, will be
sent to Washington to regulate the
member from the TX, recalls an'inci-
dent which occurred in our Legislature
some years ago.
A bill to repeal the Black Laws was
pending. Blodgett had made a speech
in favor of the bill, to which Logan
was to reply. Logan was then an un-
married man; and much of a gallant
at the Capitol. He has very dark
skin for white man. The galleries
were crowded with ladies. Logan
rose, advanced from his seat to posi-
ton commanding a view Of the gale
ries, and pompously began his speech
about thus:
"Before proceeding to consider this
bill upon the merits, / wish to ask the
honorable member from Lake few
questions-and in the first place ask
if he is in favor of the mixture of the
two races by marriage"
Blodgctt approaching half asleep.)
" Does the honorable member desire
me to answer ?"
Mr.. Logan, (vociferously)-"I do
not only desire, but l DEMAND an ex.
plicit answer now"
Mr.. Blodgett, awake but quietly.)
=" AS to the matter of intermarriage Of
the two races, am rather in favor of
leaving that pretty much to the par
ties themselves, as it is, in my view
mostly matter of taste. If the hon.
orable member should be able to Sc
cure the. affections of any white girl.
| should be sorry if we had any stat
ute to prevent MIN from marrying her,"
The House, lobbies and galleries
roared and roared again with burst af-
ter burst of laughter. Poor Logan put
no more questions to Blodgett, and his
speech soon ended, miserable failure.

So pray you be sure to be there;
For my bosom is filed with delight, love,
And would you its gladness should share.
I've been thinking we've long enough tarried,
And my father no longer says nay,
So I've made up my mind to be married,
And tonight, love, I'll tell you the day;

How Douglas Digs In

Senator Douglas works for the Presidential
nomination just as Democratic ward pOliti-
clan dOes for eonStablsship. A Washington
letter Of the IOsh says delegates en- route for
Charleston are continually dropping into this
political focus from the Northern and West
em States, and adds:
Douglas has taken the field in person, and
csnvasses with his accustomed assiduity and
energy. BE may be seen in The Senate lsb-
bies, in the hotels, and on the sidewalks. talk
ing earnestly with his friends, and by look,
word, and gesture, stimulating them to action,
Probably no other candidate for Presidential
nomination ever played his hand 90 openly and
and boldly. But ''by this sign he has con
queredp in bis previous struggles, and If he
abandoned the policy now, be would cease to
be Stephen A. Douglas.

O'Clock yesterday afternoon, and the reply
was delivered 10 Ohisman at o'clock last night,
After advising with Senator Hunter and other
friends Of Mr. Pryor the latter having in the
meantime taken post in Alexandra, replied that
the terms proposed were inadmissabe and
unusual, and he ACKNOWLEDGED no such mode
of settling difficulties between gentlemen, as
they were vulgar, baIbarous and inhumaH, and
suggested that Mr.. Lsnder's principal should
offer other terms Mr. Lander reipined that
the instructions from Mr.. Potter had been fol.
lowed, but that Mr.. Ohisman's letter conveyed
reflections upon his principal. who had dis
tinctly announced that he did not recognize the
code, but who had not placed himself behind
the last resort Of the nOn~duest, viz: A sim
pie defence If attacked on the streets, md re IT.
Grated the terms Of the meeting.
Mr. Chisman again replied, that inasmuch az
he had acknowledged that Mr. Potter would
not defend himself upon the street, and theil
terms were such as could not be accepted, they
thanked him and Mr.. Bssle for their courtesy
- the affair, and dropped the correspondence.
M. Lander, however, answered that bic state
ment had been misconstrued, and that Mr.. Pot.
ter would defend himself everywhere and
further, inasmuch as the terms proposed had
been stigmatized as barbarous, vulgar and in
human, thereby rejecting upon himself and
his principals without consulting and with
out the knowledge of Mr.. Potter, he
placed himself in Mr.. Potter's position, and
having no scruples in regard to the code, would
meet them on their own terms. This was about
three O'Clock this morning. At z, reply vas
sent to Col. Lander that Mr. Pryor had no quar-
rel with him, and that they intended no reAec-
ton BY the terms of their note, and therefore
declined the offer Of Mr.. Lander. Il must be
borne in mind that this correspondence was
carried on without any direct knowledge on
the part of the principals Copies of the letters
have since been placed in their hands, and
some apprehensions are still felt as to the
course they may pursue. The whole affair
has thus far been conducted with the greatest
prudence and secrecy, and the above is as reN
liable as any Information can be outside Of a
publication OF the correspondence itself
Mr.. Potter is warmly congratulated by his
friends, while Mr.. Pryor, who has Just returned
to this city, is still in consultation with his.

Of Indiana. Mr.. Potter folded the note, and
after the vote on the question pending, left the

marked that she understood him, and entering

The last Congress appropriated ss5 600 for
the protection and repairs of the lighthouse
and piers at Chicago. Mr.. Cobb, Secretary Of
the Treasury, during The last summer expended
SOS, 600 on the lighthouse. BE then refused
to pay the remainder. and it was then believed
the money had been used for other purposes
Accordingly. a resolution has been pat through
both Houses Of Congress, instructihg Mr.. Cobb
to pay over tho remaining s65,OOO for the pro-
lection of the piers, which are so dscayed as
to require immediate repair to save them from
entire ruin. The Secretary failed to comply
with this instruction, and Mr.. Clay, of Ala
after the interference of the President, moved
a reconsideration of the whole matter in the
Senate. Mr.. FansWOTth, the Chicago Repre-
sentative, says he can prove all these things,
and desires to have an investigation OF the
matter By Committee. Senators Trumbul
andDOugas also favor an investigation it is said.
