WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP,
The PIsIoL DROPPING ANYTHING could
bring the House Of Representatives to its senses
surely such occurrence as that of last evening"
which has already been proclaimed in every
quarter OF the land on the wings of the ligi,t
ming, would accomplish that so desirable result
Yet no one here anticipates that it will vary their
programme OF strange performances to any con-
siderable extent for more than perhaps forty-eght
hours For that time its influence will possibly he
seen IN increased protesaons there oflove of order
and peace, and Of desire to consummate an ele,
uon Yet disorder and squabbling will increase
there, and the desired election will continue to be
among things hoped fo.-not realized.
The dropping of the pistol by Mr.. Haskin was
nao enough, but not so bad as the utterly ridicu-
ious and disngenuous excuse he gave for coming
armed thus into the hall, and there foo,ing with
his weapon, when there was no more reason for
him to fear personal assault than in the BODY of
church on Sunday. The manner in which Mr.
Davidsons qUizzcal decla alton that hereafter lie
should bring his double-barreled gun into the
nali, was received by the House, proves that the
members. one and all, were well aware that the
En3lish-hill-midnight history was a subterfuge Ut
seriy unworthy Of any man holding the position
have increased the public disgust at the disgrace
nj scene. IT wa, the subsequent unblushing ar
peal OF Mr.. Haskin himself, against the practice
ef carrying arms in the House hall
The kESTUcKY REFUGERs.-The Republican
party newspapers are bowling at a great rate over
the recent expulsion of some ninetcen abolition
missionaries from Kentucky. They were Garrison
aeolitiohists who undertook TO settle in Kentucky
MT lon al,
views Of the fitness Of things The doctrines they
preached and taught were those of naked incen-
diary abolitiOnism; and they were therefore no
more 1T to be at large in Kentucky, than so many
mad dogs They may be thankful that they got
back into the non-slaveholdiny States witbout
losing their ears Nevertheless their case is being
represented in all quarters Of the North as one Of
unJusnnable persecution aud outrage The truth
Is IL YVES as Proper to drive them from Kentucky
as IL would De to drive from Cincinnati a gang of
50 many known burglars and incendiaries We
fancy that the people of Cincinnati would not
content with simply exPelling persons Of so preat
danger to their peace and property, il the exist.
