UNITED STATES HoUss OF RsPRssBNTArIyss,{
WASHINGTON, D. O., May 9. 1888:
my DEAR o s ssS oeen wssh
burne and myself In your paper beg leave to
thank you and to enclose you pamphlet COPY Of my
remarks With great respect very rqTy HoEME,v ySgFs
JAS. GORDON BENNETT, ESQ.
We should be glad to reciprocate the COM
plimentary subscription of Mr.. Donnelly, but
we regret that his share in the recent Wash
burne- Donnelly ''affair," the digrace of which,
as he intimates, we have fairly" divided
between him and the other party involved in
il, precludes US at present from addressing him
s'with great respect" However, without
attempting to excuse Mr.. Donnelly for the
atrocious vulgarity Of his attack upon Mr.
washburne, we must acknowledge that be-
meath It all we discovered vein Of genius
There were thunderbolts Of powerful invective
and flashes Of genuine wit amidst bis storm
and dirty food of Billingsgate.
We have felt in duty bound to censure
severely both Donnelly and Washburne for the
indecent exposures of which they were guilty
before Congress, the country and the world.
On this, as on several previous similarly
deplorable occasions, we have also severely
censured Mr.. Speaker Colfax for failing to
prevent 80 shameful scene. The proper
time, however, for Mr.. Colfax to have checked
the evil Of which we complain was when Old
Thad Stevens first set the example Of violating
all rules Of parliamentary propriety by the
insulting epithets which he flung at ''the
man at the other end Of the avenue" aud at
every other opponent Of his own radical schemes.
Until Mr.. Colfax began to wink at, If not en-
courage, such outrageous violations of parlia
mentary rules we used to think quite well OF
him. And perhaps, for this once, in the
especial case Of Mr.. Donnelly, we ought to be
more lenient than usual with Mr.. Colfax for
had he exercised his rightful authority in the
premises we might never have known how
much reserved force aud hidden fire Mr.. Don
nelly possessed.
Now that Mr.. Donnelly has revealed his supe-
rior oratoricsl powers, let Us hope that he will
never again abuse them, that he will hence
forth devote them only to noble ends and that
he will reform his manners. The United States
Congress, indeed, Is BY no means school Of
good manners. II may be urged as an extenu-
ating circumstance In favor Of Mr.. Donnelly
that he has found there no model for study and
imitation. Nor can he 6nd any better model
among the editors Of the leading newspaper
organs Of the party to which he has the mis-
fortune to belong One Of these editors. who

Whatever may be the issue of the impeach-

or :" not guilty" the removal or acquittal of
Andrew Johnson, one inevitable result will be
great commotion among the politicians. The
Presidential succession, one way or the other,
viii be shaped TO great extent by the issue
Of this impeachment. General Grant, as the
republican candidate, is generally considered
. foregone conclusion, sure thing, q fixed
fact, in any event; but there may be devel-
oped such party and personal complications at
Chicago, resulting from the impeachment, %
win cause even General Grant to be. set aside
and some new man to be taken up. Among
the democracy, from present appearances, the
chances Of the Presidential nomination lie be-
tween Pendleton, Seymour and Hancock; but,
as in 1914 and 1852, the whole string Of out
standing democratic candidates, by the pres
sure Of combination Of cliques and circum-
stances, may be ruled out, and some new man
may be brought into the foreground and carry
of the prize, ss in the cases Of Polk and Pierce.
On both sides the ticket for the Presidential
succession IL in doubt, and the result Of the
election itself may, after all. be a. astounding

Triumph Of Americas Journaiism-The
Heraid's Kilograms from Abyssinia.
By special correspondence and mail report
dated in London on the Goth of April-one day
later-we have reflex Of the first effects pro-
duced in England by the American journalistic
triumph obtained through the enterprise and
liberality of the HERALD in furnishing to the
British press and people, by special kilograms,
dated on the Bashelo river and at Magdala,
Abyssinia, the Hrst intelligence Of the
capture Of Theodorus' stronghold, of the
death of the King and the termination Of the
war. This important news was received by
our agent In London on Sunday, the 26th Of
April, in advance Of the War Ofice and India
House dispatches. It was supplied by
him grstuit0usly to the London Times,
and promptly used by the managers Of
that newspaper and its contemporaries,
our courtesy being duly acknowledged. But
this is not all. Copies Of the HEBALD's tele-
graph war letters were circulated ''sll over the
country" and when the City Of Antwerp left
Cork, on the 30th ultimo, they still contained
the "earliest and fullest accounts" and the
''only details" Of the victory had in the pro-
vinces and rural districts of Great Britain. 11,
We regard this most complete success of our
foresight, spirit and outlay in reporting Ma
piers campaign in Africa with very great plea
sure-not pleasure conducting in any way to
professional exaltation, but feeling induced
by the knowledge Of the attainment of great
American victory in the work Of international
enlightenment The batch of acknowledge
ments made to US by the English press on the
9th Of April, which we print to-day, is repro
duced to the American public for the purpose
of ah'ording qualification to our own contem-
poraries here In New York. They will be
gladdened by reading some Of the first proofs
Of the latest American victory obtained by
the HERALD over the English press on its
''own ground" They are all interested in the
''opening up" Of Abyssinia to Christian influ-
ences and commerce, and will consequently
rejoice at our full report Of the progress of the
grand movement just made by the British in
that direction. The other New York journals
are also on the path Of the progress-although
il Is only on It's tail end-and have ideas of
civilization; even although they convey their
views at present with such extraordinary exple-
tives as '9iar," ''vagabond," ''drunkard,r
