Down straight into the ground"

End OF the Dodge Divorce Suit.

St. Paul Dispatch to Louisville Ledger
The divorce suit of Dodge VS.. Dodge has
ended in most singular manner. One Of
the most astonishing affidavits ever made in
court was read by the counsel for the defend
ant from the plaintiff, Mrs Dodge, on Sat-
urday The affidavit sets forth that the pro-
ceedings against Dodge were conspiracy,
undertaken at the instance of her attorney,
Finley; that this Finley, having got her un-
der his power, arranged the plans to enable
her to secure a divorce, the chief of which
was the pretended assignation scheme of the
1st of January, in which Dodge and Julia
Pierce figured; that the affidavit making such
charges was false; that under the threats of
said Finley she had entered into this conspir-
acy: and that she had signed paper agree
ing to pay Julia Pierce 81 900 for entrapping
Dodge. The document also sets forth that
her previous affidavits, charging bad treat
ment, and in fact all the principal points en-
braced in the original affidavits under which
the suit was commenced were false, and only
made under the threats of Finley. Finley told
Mrs. Dodge that unless she made such affida-
Wits she would certainly go to the States
Prison. Finley, furthermore, when he found
that Dodge had found out the conspiracy,
urged her to poison him, as the only way of
clearing themselves, The Judge has adj
journed a final settlement of the case until
to-day. Mrs. Dodge will probably be taken
back by her husband.

An incident in the House.

AS soon as the vote on the question of CEN
suring Mr.. Brooks was announced from the
chair, Mr.. Brooks arose from his seat and
approached Mr.. Rainey's and Mr.. Elliotts
seats.
Mr.. Elliott was standing a little in rear of
his seat, and was surrounded by dozen or
more persons, when Mr. Brooks approached
and extended his hand, and grasping the
hand of Mr.. Elliott in q cordial manner, said
substantially.
''Mr. Elliott, from the bottom of my heart,
thank you for the vote you have just now
recorded. For years past l have been the
opponent of your race. l appreciate highly
the fact that in this, the hour of my adversely,
when am deserted by men of my own race
whom have stood by in the past, you and
Mr.. Rainey have ignored all prejudices and
have acted justly. desire to assure you that
in the future shall, by my humble voice and
influence, be as ready to protect and vindi-
cate the rights and aid the advancement of
your race as / shall my own"
Mr.. Elliott replied: 81 thank you heartily
for this assurance of your good will toward
me and mine. Mine was no easy task, but /
thank God that He gave me the fortitude
necessary to overcome those feelings of pre-
judice to which you have alluded. did for
you. sir, what I would under like circum-
stances have done for any one else. Under
the solemn obligations of my oath as a Rep
resentative looked not upon you as polit-
cal opponent, but as an American Represen-
tative, who had right to demand judgment
founded upon the law and evidence. voted
against the resolution because, in my humble
judgment, you were clearly entitled to such a
vote at my hands. l again thank you for
your expressions of good will Washington
