rIrn.IAsANn ARNELI..

The Washington correspondent Of the
Cincinnati Gazette makes the following
statement in his dispatch Of the Dist
instant
" The House Committee on Elections
have been unable to make anything out Of
the papers and arguments heretofore sub
mitted in the Tennessee contested seat case
of Thomas against Arnell, and to-day they
reported a resolution calculated 70 bring
matters to an issue. Thomas is required
within eight DAYS 10 serve upon Arnell 4
specific and detailed claim for the seat
Arnell must answer in eight days more,
and then eighteen days viii be given TO an
examination. The case would have been
decided before this, had Mr.. Thomas pa
pers been specific instead Of general.
This is putting of the decision for
thirty-four days, which, excluding Sun
days, is two days more than the length Of
the present Congress from the date Of
the action noted This indicates that the
Radical majority desire to shirk the
responsibility of actingupon Mr. Thomas
claim

HIsTORY REPEATING ITSELF.

The Washington correspondent Of the
Baltimore Gazette thus photographs Ste
vens:
"Steyens is certainly the evil genius of
Congress. Matters appeared to be quieting
down until his TRADE upon the Supreme
Court, followed by his abominable bill re-
specting the South, and finally his attempt
to impeach the President through the eau
Gus of last evening. How graphically he
is described, as it were, by anticipation as
we'll as inspiration, three thousand years
ago As much as I detest rhymes, especi..
ally when inserted in a commercial news
paper, cannot refrain from quoting these,
80 pat to the purpose:
AT length the tumult sinks, the noises cease,
And a still silence lulls the Halls TO peace,
Thersites only clamored in the throng,
Loquacious, loud and turbulent Of tongue;
AVID by no shame, by no respect contropd
In scandal busy, in reproaches bold;
With witty malice studious to detame,
Scorn all his JOY, and laughter all his aim.
But chief he glOried with hcentious style
70 lash the great-the virtuous to revile.
His figure such as might his soul proclaim
One eye tDas btinkIng-Gad one leg lSds lame.
