II is said the matter will then be taken up and tho
roughly ventilated. Judge Black leaves this evening
for Texas to act as counsel in q railroad case.
The House OF Representatives seems to be getting
up pretty high pressure, and for several days past
instances OF explosions have taken place. Having
been unable by the Interpolation OF the impeachment
trial, to give vent to their surplus steam
in the ordinary channels OF legislating,
relief is found In little personal rencounters
Of verbal nature. To-day, when the House
had returned to Its hall, washbume Of Illinois
and Ignatius Donnelly Of Minnesota, INDUCED in a
rumpus IN the way Of personal explanation. 1t
seems Washburne wrote q letter, which was pub
lished in Western paper and which apparently de-
mOlshed Donnely. The latter in turn got
letter OF recommendation from a friend
which took the wind out Of Washburne. BY
way OF settling their little trouble the House
was entertained with dialogue OF a decidedly spicy
and personal Character. These little episodes are
becoming quite attractive and from the prosy pro-
ceedings OF the High Court, the crowd repairs In
large numbers to witness 'high old timer In the
other wing Of the Capitol and all without the bother
Of boring members for tickets
