in Trouble.
The Boston Erening Gazette says: Mr.. Bret
Harte narrowly escaped introduction to the
city officials, who havo in charge the Bafo-keep-
ing Of tho City Prison, on his arriving i'll Boston
on Friday afternoon. AS the story goes, lIr.
Harte took occasion to re?lenish his wardrobe
during previous Tiei' hithorwarda, but neglect
cd the somewhat indispensable requisite Of sat
iEfying the pecuniery demands Of tho tailor who
supplied his wants. Briefly, therefore, he de-
parted from the city, taking with him an entire
ly new suit of clothes, and leaving iIate
clothier behind. His suit suited him, but its
procurement neccssi:ated the beginning Of
another suit CT different ma
ture. Hearing that Mr.. Harto WAS
soon to return to this city. Mr.. Hull obtained
q warrant for his arrest, and it wGs served by
Daputy Sheriff on Friday, just as the distin-
guished lecturer left the cars at the Boston 4
albany Railroad depot. Here was 3 scene, az
might naturally be expected under the circun1-
stances; but, finally, Alr. Harto consented to
the occupancy Of seat beside the Sheriff with
in n carriage, his creditor mounted to tho box,
and the ontlre party were driven to tho resi-
dcnco Of AIr. H. S. Clark, OF the iirm OF James
Il. Osgood d Co., where Mr. Harte had &C
cepted m invitation to dine. Mr.. Clark at first
appeared somewhat surprised at the advent Of
so large number of yisitora but when tho
matter was explained to him. he enjoyed q
hearty laugh, aud gave his individual note on
demand to Gquidate the bill and release the
prisoner. Tho matter has been arranged to the
satisfaction Of all.

COLUMBUS.

COLUMBUS, O., March 29.-ln the
House to-day, Hon. Mr.. Haldeman rose
to a question Of privilege and denounced
Mr.. Corcoran's charges made yesterday
against NJ. Halstead, Of the Cincinnati
Commercial. In conclusion he said /;
Mr.. Speaker, ] am not here particularly
to defend Mr.. Halstead, but | cannot
but admire the bold and fearless
manner in which he has denounced
corruption in both political parties.
Permit me to say that do not believe
that any article ever written by Halstead
and published in the Commercial was 80
low, dirty, degrading and disgracefui as
that uttered by my colleague Yesterday
against the character of Mr.. Halstead
and his family. Now this affair has
gone so far that the House owes it to
itself and to all the parties to appoint
committee to inquire into the truth or
falsity of the charge made. as to the
improper use of money to suppress
Corcoran's lottery bill. A motion TO
appoint such committee will be made
to-day or tomorrow.

bill was framed and urhered into the
Senate to-day and passed two readings,
but on the final reading it was killed

shape. Three Republican Senators
dodged the question by vacating their
seats and leaving the negro members
to battle with the Democrats. The
negro members denounced the action
of their white brethren as Infamous
Mr.. Caldwell, negro member, during
a speech in favor OF the bill. said that
if any railroad official interfered with
him while he was on the cars he would
spill the blood of such an official. Mr..
Morgan, a white member, wanted the
bill to pass in order to elevate colored
ladies above the degrading influence of
white men. tits said that he is married
to a negro woman and recognizes the
degrading influence which may be
brought to bear on colored women by
white associations. as.E
