Sensational and otherwise.

We, the city editor, or rather s'ye local.
of the Statesman, have been taken to task
in regard to an article which appeared in
our issue of the 10th inst, headed ''An
Outrage Upon Humanity" andin order
to convince our friends in Woodsfeld,
Monroe County, and all concerned, that
we were not to blame, we propose to give
"a brief statement of facts.
In the search of an .sitcm" we went to
the Office of DR.. Hamilton, of this city,
(not at his solicitation, to inquire In re-
gard to the health and probable recovery
of man who had been severely hurt in
a fight at billiards Station, and whilst
there, happened to observe. a part of a
leg of man in a jar,with the toes Of the
foot slougIsd Of. and inquired about the
subject. DR., Hamilton informed us that it
was the foot of an unfortunate lunatic,
which he had amputated the day before
at the Central Lunatic Asylum, who mad
been brought there with both his feet
frozen. He could not inform us where
the man came from; but being interested
in the case,we travelled on tootin the deep
snow out to the Asylum, and inquired Of
DIR. Peek, the Superintendent, In regard
to the two cases, and having turned to
the books, he gave US the names and re-
cited the circumstances connected there
with in regard to Henry Martin and Hen
ry Kalbfeisch, substantially as we related
in the article, except in one Particular
tits cur impression that DR.. Peek stated
that it was either the jail or in6rmary in
which they had been kept. The above
are the facts as related to us by DR..
Peck, who at all times has treated US in
gentlenianly manner. 49,.

WASHINGTON, Jan. II.


The Senate this afternoon had quite a
scene in the course of the debate on the
bill regulating the tenure of Office. Sum-
ner said that athe teachings Of the past
were of no avail because We never before
had President who was an enemy of his
country" Mr. McDougall called him to
order, whereupon Sumner, in petulant
manner, insisted on the California Sena-
tors reducing the language he had ex-
cepted to writing, which was done in sub
stantially the same words which had been
uttered. Sumner, with great roughness
of manner, refused to, read the sentence
when courteously offered to him, and de.
clared in the face of the Senate, when it
was read at the Secretary's desk, that it
bore no resemblance to the words which
he had uttered. Senator Anthony, who
was in the Chair, declared that such Ian
guage was within the license allowed in
debate. In view of Summers denial,
and the remark being read as report
ed, Mr.. McDougall withdrew his point
'of order Sumner again took the
floor, and impudently said he reiterated
what had just been excepted to. Mr..
Doolittle then made the same point of
order, when the Chair made the same de-
cision From this Mr. Doolittle appeal
ed, and the Radical majority laid the ap-
peal on the table. The Senate then ad-
journed.
The House to-day had up Thad. Ste
vehs bill to destroy the Southern States,
and as yesterday, twas opposed from a
prominent Radical quarter. Mr.. Baker,
a very bitter Radical from Illinois, de-
nouneed the measure, and said he trusted
as much to the State for liberty of the
citizen as he did to the American Con-
gress. He made this remark with evi-
dent reference to Thad Stevens threat to
exact from the Northern States SO. called
