I'IIESE1N11TORI1L CONTEST,

1t will DO remembered that on
Thursday, Nov. 22d, severe contest
was waged between tho Democrats
and Republicans on Senator Thur
mans motion to discharge the COM
mlttee on privileges and elections
IRON further consideration Of Gen.
nj. G. Buffers case. This motion
was hotly fought by the Republicans,
as it's effect would be to bring Gen,
cral Buffers case fairly before the
Senate. Edmunds and Conkling
led the Republicans. Senators Davis,
Patterson and Conover voted
with the Democrats, and Sharon, Of
Nevada, was absent. Consequently
the Democrats had a majority for
the first time since the beginning of
the war. Edmunds was compelled
to resort to tilibustcring. Finally
Conover voted with the Republicans
for adjournment, thus making tic,
and tho Vice-Presidcnt cast his voto
for adjournment till Monday.
On Monday the contest was
renewed. The.privileges and elections
committee presented q report in
lavor Of Kellogg, minority report
being also presented for Spofford.
An effort was was made to substitute
this case for Butler's, as Patterson
and Conover favored Kellogg. But
objection was made and it had to lie
over a day. Then the resolution
discharging the committee on priyi-
legcs and elections from further
consideration Of the Butler case
was resumed. Etlmunds read an
article from the New York 1ribu,.e,
alleging that Butler had used cor
rupt influences in the lobby and in
the Senate itself, and Edmunds pro-
posed as substitute that this ques-
ton be referred to the committee
Att er sharp debate, the substitute
was defeated by n to 30-AIatthews
and Davis, of Illinois, voting with
the Democrats, and Patterson,
against whom the resolution was
mainly aimed, not voting. The
question REQUIRED on the main reso-
luton, and an all night session was
probable at last adviccs.

NOR II school in district in tho
town of Ira, Cayuga county, was
attended by the teacher without

teacher, a young lady who lives near

they refused to send their children.
The father of the teacher compelled
his daughter to go the school-house
five days in week, and stay thcro

with her fathers demand, and
during tho entire thirteen weeks was

Gront damage is reported from
tho recent floods. The Potomac

feet foot above low-watcr mark. At
Washington the river was fillol with
dedrjs. Vessels broke thoir cables

was submerged. Communication
was stopped across tho river.
The James River, at Richmond,
was higher than at the food Of 1870.
The James River and Kanawha
Canal, between Lynchburg and
Richmond, will probably sustain
most serious damage by the overflow
OF tho river and consequent breaking
OF its banks. The flood of 1870
caused loss to tho canal company
OF several thousand dollars and u
suspension OF traffic formonths, md
the disaster is likely to bo repeated.
Bridges all through Pennsylvania,

lives were lost, but thirty survivors

FoRREsT AND K1LrATR1cK.-Thc
recent death Of Gen. N. B. Forrest
has revived discussion Of the diff
Guilty between him and Gen. Judson
Fitzpatrick, and in this connection
the Louisville Couricr. Jou,2taE
prints q letter written by General
Forrest to Fl. X. Shackclford, of
Connecticut, in October, 1868. In
a speech at New Haven, on the Goth
of October that year, Fitzpatrick had
said that Forrest had nailed
negroes to fences, set fire to the
fences and burned the negroes to
death" and this charge, Forrest
wrote, was but "thc natural off
spring of kilpatrick's common and
mcrited famo as an unprincipled
and easy liar" And then Forrest
emphatically denies tho statement
and says that every chivalric soldier
in the Federal army will refuse to
believe it. Forrest closes his letter
with a paragraph MS follows: II
think the public will justify mo in
denomcing, rs I now do, General
Judson Fitzpatrick his n blackguard,
liar, q scoundrel and poltroon.
If he is the heroic figure he would
have the Northern people believe
him, my friend, General Basil W.
Duke, at Louisville, Kentucky, is
. authorized to receive on my behalf
any communication he may choose
to make" General Duke, who was
interviewed the other day by
| Courier-JoWnal reporter, stated
that Fitzpatrick remained silent for
fully a month before paying any
attention to this letter Finally he
wrote a letter to the Northern
press explaining that he could not
accept II challenge from Forrest
because q Congressional committee
had declared him guilty of the
"Fort Pillow Massacre" General
Shackelford then addressed q letter
to Kilpatrick urging him to accept
the challenge, for, rs brave
soldier, he could not refuse it, and
that mans status as q gentleman
could not be settled by any Con-
gressional committee. But Xii,
patrick said nothing more about it,
A discussion Of this matter may
have temporary interest to news

would be the next President the
temptation could not be resisted and
R~0thschilds aud two Of his friends
