IA disgraceful scene occurred in tho
Ohio House of Representatives Satur-
day. A resolution was offered by Mr..
Crlst recommending that Messrs. Ball
OF Muskingum, Hughes, of Highland,
and Hughes, of Butler, be appointed II
special committee to investigate into
the propriety of building a ApenitentIary
for the special benefit of white men.
The resolution was simply intended as
burlesque upon the "visIble admix-
ture" bills which have been under dis
cussion during the week. Immediately
after the resolution was read Ball went
to Crist in a terribly excited manner,
used language too filthy for publica-
tion, and threatened him with personal
violence as soon as the House adjourn
ed. Crist then arose aud demanded
that Ball be put under arrest, and
brought before the House for trial.
After much ,speech-maling the whole
matter was dropped by the House.
Something may yet come of 1t.

dispatches from the English Ministry,
there does not appear to be the slightest
doubt that the Administration will
succeed in bringing this vexatious, and
sometimes threatening, controversy to

weeks. The treaty, as it now seems to
be shaping, will partake of the charac-
ter and features of the treaty Just con-

Saturday. General Grant, after re-
ceiving 1t, addressed letter to the
President, calling his attention to the
fact that under the reconstruction law,
1t would be necessary to send an officer
not below the rank of Brigadier GEN
eral in the regular army to take General
aancock's place as commander OF the
Fifth District. and inqnirlng whether
the President had considered the diff
Guilty he might have in making a selec-
ton satisfactory TO himself from the
small list OF available men. It is un-
derstood that the difficulty thus hinted
at in Grants letter consists in the fact
that the few officers of the required
grade, whose political views are sup.
posed to be acceptable to the President,
