From the New York Clipper ]
Heensn and Morrisssy.

We dropped In at one Of our Broadway Con-
cert Saloons, on Thursda y evening, the 3lst ult,
and among the throng there present, noticed two
men who had been the subject OF much conver-
satlon and discussion during the past yearor two.
One of these was John G. Heenan, the other,
John Morrissey. They were seated at some
little distance from each other, and when their
eyes met for the first time, It was easily to be
seen that bitter and mutual dislike existed he.
tween them. The glance that passed was bat
mLmentary, yet there was no mistaking It's i'm
port; q sort OF "tread on my coat taiI,'' or
"knock chip Of my hat, If you wish q fght.
In the presence Of each other, both men seemed 10
be somewhat uneasy. Soon, Heenan, with afew
friends, left his place, and proceeded to the bar.
room, where, with number of others he met
there, he called for drinks, He had not been
there long, when Morrissey also entered. and
approaching the bar, called TO the bar.keeper TO
give him drink. A couple of friends, whom
be mel there, were invited to imbibe with him,
which they did. ~ .sfaHoo 90 pa
Thus they s.ood--the champion and the ex
champion, the victor at Marlborough and the
victor at Long Point--within few feet of each
other, and 1t only needed word on either side

the friends Of the two champions maintained q
respectful bearing toward each other. One 1t.
tie word on either side, one angle word of no

precipitated into deadly struggle. Neither
showed the least sign Of feari on the contrary

sparring Of Ohio Members.

We publish from the ConqYessional Olobs
yery pretty little niece of spaTring In Congress
among our Ohio members. We publish is, NOT
only that our readers may have the benefit of
il. but to call attention TO the fact drawn out or
which is really the substance OF the whole, viz
They charge on Mr.. Cox that he was exposing,
for the use of the South, certain acts of the
Republicans of Ohio,
We had seen similar charges In the Republic
can newspapers Of the State aeainst the Demo
Gratis, but we could not understand the moral
bearing Of such charges. What have the Re.
publicans done that the Democrats should hello
them keen 1t hidden from the South. If they
have done wrong thew should be exposed for the
benefit, not Of the South, bat of the people
everywhere. Recollect this is q Govern ment
of the people and truth should not be kept under
cover. The truth Is what we want, North,
South, East and West,
Itis also asking too much of the Democrats
of Ohio, thai they should be called To the Wit
ness stand to testify TO what IL not true. or re-
fuse to testify at all, because t would inn plicate
the Republican party. Silence in sucb a case
would be a crime, and In ali courts Ia punish-
able for CONTEMPT. ~ 80.

that the chairmen of the two committees had
agreed upon report, and sent It to the papers
to be published, he felt that he had been de-
prived of his rights, and felt that he could not
obtain his rights in any other way than by ap-
pealing to the House. He would reply to the
charges made by the gentleman from Rens-
selear In the same language that he has used
himself-that they were simply false. Mr..
Prendergast, one Of the members Of the Com.
mittee from the Republican side, had informed
him this morning that he was not consulted in
regard to the published programme.
Mr.. Ball said that he had only one reply to
make, and that was In regard to the place of
meeting of the Committee. He was not the
chairman of the Joint Committee, and could not
control that matter. They did meet In the Ex-
ecutive Chamber first, but afterwards In an
other room. ,e,
