Personal Explanations.
The proceedings Of the House to-day opened with
another personal explanation which will, OF course,
call forth still another In due time Garfield. who re-
ceived severe drubbing from Thad Stevens yester-
day for his alleged Misrepresentation Of the old
mans position on the bond question, has been itch
ing ever since to get even. He came into the House
this morning with armful Of Congressional Globes
containing the debates which occurred at the time
the bond legislation was in progress. The House
gave him fifteen minutes, and in q rather mild and
apologize way he proceeded to make good his prevf
statements about Old Thad by reading from TIE
GLOBE the latter's speeches on the FIVE
twenty Bond bill When his time had ey-
pired he had not quite finished and the
bondhoder members wanted to allow him to go on,
but Butler, who heads the believers in the Pendle-
tonian theory about the finances in the House,
iunned IN hs nd milling nm coat ae
If he meant to administer some corporal punish
ment to Garfield shouted, al object" in q very de-
cided tone, at the same time shaking his head In
menacing manner at Garfield. When Garfield had
been eectually choked of by Butler, Old Thad, as
anxious to follow up the movement by giving Gar.
field another drubbing, arose to reply, and was
understood to say that he would answer the gentle
man to his entire satisfaction at the proper time
He was going on to make the present the proper
time whereupOn the bondholders, to be even with
Butler, called for the regular order and the matter
ended for the present.

General Fremont and his Costa Rica Claim.
The announcement that John c. Fremont has ap-
piled for government aid in the matter Of his claim
against Costa RIGA, growing out OF his connection
with the Costa RIGA Railroad Company, has caused
some talk here. Fremont has the matter before the
Foreign Affairs Committee as well the State De
partment, and hopes to induce our government Il
interfere in his behalf. 1t will be remembered that
Costa RIGA annulled the contract OF the company
for alleged non-fulhlment of terms of contract,
and Fremont complains that he has not been
treated fairly In the business. On the other
hand, 1t Is claimed by other parties anxious
to take up the contract that Fremont has
no Just claim, having neglected to carry out the
terms Of his agreement by spending $4,000 within a
specified period; that In fact, Fremont expended
nothing upon the road at ALL all the money spent
having been contributed by other parties. The
contract they say most liberal in its TERMS and
Costa RIGA waited long before she notified him thai
he would be held to the performance Of the contrac
within the time specified, and that time having
elapsed without anything being done on Fremont't
part the contract was declared annulled. The gov
eminent OF Costa RIGA acted toward him with
the greatest fairness and hberality throughout,
and that General Fremont should deem that
he has any claim against that government
on that account Is matter Of amaZemen n,
to those who profess to know the facts. The
truth is there are several parties very anxious to gel
the job, and this the OF the desperate effort
OF Fremont and the bitter opposition OF his oppo
nents II is not likely government will interfere at
all In the matter.
