WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.-The scene i'm
the House when Hewitt spoke to. day
was exciting In the extreme. Hewitt
occupied G. desk in the second row, i'm
medlately In front OF the Speaker desk.
AS he spoke The semi circular space In
front Of the Speaker filled up
who had difficulty In restraining
themselves. Indeed, when Hewitt de-
clared that he shrank from filibustering
because he knew it would lead to anar-
chy, the pent-up feelings OF few broke
over the bounds, and they muttered
soto UOce, shaking their heads and ges-
ticulating angrily, while Cate, Of Wis
consin, was utterly unable to control
and cried out, "Cowardice ~
at the top OF his voice. The Speaker
was unable to restore order for some
time, but finally succeeded by a vigor
GUS use Of his gavel.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.-George A.
Sheridan, who went to Louisiana with !,
Warmoth in the Greeley Democratic
utilization in 1872, and who while de-
claring for Nichols last fall stumped
Ohio for Governor for Hayes, is en-
route to Columbus to solicit the ap-
pointment Of collector Of the port OF
ated with Warmoth, who appointed him
tax collector, which office he held till
Kellogg's accession, when he returned
TO New Jersey where he has resided
ever since. He Is said to be one OF the
most Objectionable Of small Southern
politicians, and enjoys the faith and
esteem of neither party in Louisiana.
His present ambition makes him q rival
of Kinney, Of Louisiana, levee con-
tractor, who is now at Columbus on the
same quest. It Is not probable that the
hopes OF either will be crowned with
success.
