ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATCH.l
WASHINGTON, Jan. AIN anticipation of
lively scenes over the San Domingo i'm.

In the House, it had been agreed by the
more earnest supporters Of the scheme to
demand immediate action on the Senate
resolution for the appointment of a COM
mission Of investigation, and MIR. Orth, of
Indiana, had been selected to make the ne
cessary motion. A count of the members
present, however, developed the fact that
the requisite two-thirds majority to lay
aside preceding business on the Speakers
table was not present, and, in fact, that
there WASH quorum. The agreement was
then abandoned; and finally, Gen. Banks
was instructed to give notice, which he did,
that the Foreign Relations Committee
would call it up next Monday.

Sirs,-I was much surprised by your cdi-

the Esd inst, Of the action taken by the
stockholders of the r. 6 ID. r. r. Company
in reference to the construction of the
western portion Of the N. & G. W. r: Il;
The action referred to was sought by
myself. not in abandonment, but in aid Of
the great enterprise for which | have been
labnriug necessarily for the last two years
What has enabled or induced you to tor
ture it into Senatorial intrigue am Who'll
" ut a loss to understand. However inn
,,ortant the election Of Judge Johnston or
Major Suthcrin to the Senate Of the United
states may be regarded by their friends,
regard the election of either rs absolutely
insignificant compared with the construc-
ton Of the proposed line Of railway from
Norfolk to Bristol. The proposed aid from
the Richmond and Danville Railroad Com
pany to the western portion Of the Norfolk
and Great Western railroad has no po-
iitical significance. nor the slightest re-
ference to the election of either Of the
gentlemen named, or any other citi-
zen OF the Commonwealth. l am
seeking aid from every quarter, with
the single view to the success Of this great
work. Aid from the Richmond and Dan.
Vile Railroad Company and from the city Of
Richmond TO the western portion OF the
line is desirable ard reasonable, as both
will be greatly benefited by its construc-
ton. I have not, and do not intend to,
abandon the earnest prosecution Of the
work from Norfolk to Bristol so long as
there is any reasonable hope of its success,
and hope that you will, in justice to me,
Give this note as prominent mn insertion In
the next issue of your paper as your ed
itorial occupied, that the utterly erroneous
impression calculated to be produced by
your editorial may be at once removed.
Very respectfully,

SWALLOWED A MOUTH ORGAN.-A little
son of J. c. Kondrup, the Danish Consul,
residing with his father on Capitol Hill, in
Washington, has met with III unfortunate
accident which will prove 4 field of study
for the medical world. 1t appears that on
Friday last an elderly brother, who had
been playing with common mouth organ,
about two inches in lensth, threw it upon ION
child, he picked it up, and by some means
it became lodged in his throat. Attempts
were made to cxtricate it, but had the eff
feet of forcing it down his throat and caus-
ing him to swallow the instrument. The
health of the child seems unimpaired, and,
aside from the anxiety Of the parents, the
huge pill does not seem to incommode him
