Observation-Disclosures PRIVATE OPINION
wAsHsuaHE PUBLICLY IMPRESSED.
The telegraph has already given us some
specimens Of the "Hon." Donnely' personal ex-
PLANTATION in the House Of Representatives on
Saturday last. His grievance was that Wash
brrne, Of Illinois, had brother who wanted
his tDonnely's) seat, and that to aid his
brothers. efforts, Washburne had written q
shocking and offensive letter. We make some
extracts Eom the full report Of his remarks,
published IN the Washington papers:
referring to the charge made against him in
Mr.. Washburpe's letter Of his being an ''oficial
beggar," Mr.. Donnely said "an official beg
gall" and thst fsom q gentleman bearing the the
clal beggarl" Why, Mr.. Speaker, this gen.
tleman's family are chronic Office beggars.
They are nothing il they are not ID office. Out
Of Office they are miserable, wretched, God
forsaken-as uncomfortable as that famous
stump-tailed bull in fly time. Iaughter.)
This whole trouble arises from the persistent
determination Of one OF the gentleman's fami.

that God, in His infinite wisdom, did not make
any Of them broad enough to make room for

The speaker interrupted Mr. Donnely and
reminded him that his language was beyond
the usual limit Of parliamentary propriety.
Mr.. Washburne expressed his desire that
the ssparty" should be permitted to 80 on.

The Speaker again interrupted MIR. Donnely
and reminded hum that his language was out
Of order.
MIR. Washburne again repeated the hope that
the 'party" might be permitted to so on oy
unanimous consent
There being no objection, Mr.. Donnely said:
thank the House and ''that other party for
The courtesy. General laughter.) Twill not
notice all the charges which crawl over al the
surface OF the letter as vermin crawl over the
body Of some beggar, but there is one other
personal charge-thar have changed my
name. The intention Of the gentleman is to
give out not only that was q fugitive from
justice, but that was travelling under an alias.
Mr. Speaker, was within few hours after my
birth baptized 1gnatius Donnely; am Ignatius

Mr.. Washburne was understood to say that
then he would change his name.
Mr. Donnely retorted-fI thought the gen.
