From Washington.


WASHINGTON, d. c., March 16.
EXCITEMENT.
This has been the most exciting day the house
of representatives has seen in many years Gen.
Buffers letter, reviewing the action of the house
yesterday, and which was telegraphed over the
country last night, was laid on all the tables of
members this morning.
As it charged ffty-cight republicans with be-
ing engaged in a Legislative trick and con-
tanned some sharp insinuations against the
speaker, it called forth large amount of person.
al explanation in the house.
The worst msstatement in the letter was in
regard to the number of republicans who voted
for the investigation. Buffers letter says but
twenty or thirty voted for it, or less than one
third of the republicans present. The fact is,
fftyeight republicans voted for it, or eight more
than majority of those present.
The moment the speaker left the chair and
took the floor there was intense excitement, and
it was kept until a short time before the house
adjourned.
Everybody comedies that the debate was dis
graceful to the republican party, but the speak
er's friends assert that the Butler letter COM
PEELED him to take notice of it in this public
manner. The debate between the speaker and
Gen. Butler was as bitter as anything uttered in
the house for dozen years.
After it was over, Messrs. Dawes, Shellabar-
gel and Blair, of Michigan, followed, and their
remarks bore with more or less severity upon
Gen. Butler. One thing was demonstrated by
Al i,
desire to pass any bill now, but prefers to in
vcstigatc further first.
THE FIRST THING
In order in the house was the calling of states
for bills, and Mr.. Butler was waiting to bring in
the ;caucus kuklux bill, but, though the house
knew this fact, it adjourned without allowing
the states to be called.
THE SENATE REPUBLICAN CAUCUS
Unexpectedly, to almost everybody, decided
to-day not to permit an adjournment, but to in
sist that the session shall continue until some
measure can be got through.
Tomorrow the house resolution of adjourn
ment will be tabled and the caucus bill referred
to the judiciary committee.
By Monday it is probable that modified bill
will be reported to the senate. 1t may pass that
body in wcek-or month. Nobody can tell
how long.
If the bill passed in the senate is moderate
one, it may probably get through the house,
but if it is the caucus BILL it will be in danger
of being laid on the table at once.
THE DEMOCRATS
Threaten to filibuster from the start; but, if
they take this course, it will eventually CONSOLE
date the republicans, and some measure will
pass.
THE PRESIDENT
Asserted positively to-day that he does not ex-
pect or desire congress to act upon Santo Domin-
go annexation till next winter.

The DEDICATION EXERCISES AT EAST
TEMPLEToN The exercises in dedication of
the Soldiers Memorial hall in East Templeton
on Wednesday evening, called together an as
semblage of some five hundred from that and
the neighboring towns. Capt. Parkhurst, as
master of ceremonies, in introducing the speak
ing exercises, which began at halfpast seven
o'clock, referred to the great need which had ex-
listed there for a hall for public gatherings, and
the efforts which had been made from time to
time for the erection of some memorial to the
departed brave who had fallen in defense of their
country in the recent war, and congratulated
the citizens upon the completion of the present
undertaking. He closed by introducing Mr..
Frederick Parker of Templeton, who spoke in
commendation of the good taste and style of
the building, and complimentcd Capt. Park
hurst for his success in the enterprise. Mr.
Parker spoke of the promise often made during
the progress of the enlistments, to remember
the soldiers, and alluded to this as a most APP
propriate method of carrying out that promise.
In response to the demand for an expression of
opinion on the acceptance of the hall, unan-
nous and hearty "amen" was rendered by those
present.
After prayer by Rev. D. X. Banister of the
Methodist church, Rev. Horace James was in
trOduced and made one of his characteristic
interesting and spirited addresses, full of remi-
niscences and happy illusions, which are always
listened to with so much pleasure and satisfac-
ton, on topics connected with the heroic deeds
of our brave soldiers. He referred to the OPEN
ing scenes of the rebellion, the sudden uprising
of the north, and especially of the patriotic
ardOr and noble achievements of the sons of old
Worcester county in the various regiments from
her midst, and closed by encouraging highly
every means of keeping in fresh remembrance
the memory of the fallen, the keeping up of old
associations with the living, the erection of
monuments, and other memorials of the de-
ceased, &c.
A poem, by Mrs James Sawyer of East Tenn
pleton, was then read by Mr.. ]. L. Phelps, max
ing appropriate references to the hall, the names
upon the tablets, &c.
The company then retired to the rooms below,
where tables were set for supper, and all were
filled. The remainder of the evening was spent
in social way generally till late hour. The
receipts of the evenings entertainment netted
the sum of $500, to go towards furnishing the

"ST. PATRICKs DAY IN THE MORNING"
is a tune to which things always move lively,
fair weather or foul; and if a good day smiles
on the followers of the worthy saint on the oc-
cason of this celebration, an extraordinary
demonstration will be made. The societies are
to have good supply of good music, as will be
seen by their order of exercises, printed in the
advertisement; so we may expect to hear the
pleasant melodies of Erin filling the city as the
enthusiastic marchers, mindless Of mud and
distance, pass over the long route laid
out for them. The exercises OF the
day include mass at st. PauPs church,
and those of the evening a lecture by Hon. W.
i. Robinson, of Brooklyn, N Y, on "Ireland
her interest and her destiny" A grand supper
at the Bay State house will conclude the festvi-
tics, at which toasts, responses and songs will
probably engage the company until the last mo-
ment of st. Patrick day is used up, the harp is
silenced, and the shamrock is thought of only in
dreams.
