4 Senatorial Tilt.

New York, March 4.
A special to the Post from Wash
ington says: During q passage-at
arms between Blaine and Thur
man Blaine attempted to interrupt
the Ohio senator in some remarks.
Thurman said, " Sit down sir" in
q Acry overbearing manner. When
Blaine had, soon after, secured the
Goor. he said he wished to make a
personal explanation He had
been in the senate three years.
During that time Thurman lad in-
suited him on more than one occa-
sion, and he had twice infroncd
him in private. that such conduct
was distasteful. Now he wished
to say that II Thurman was Of his
own age, lie (Thurman) would
hear from him In different way,
but under tho circumstances he
wonla only say that such conduct
had become insuffcrablc.

He left Marietta at 5 O'Clock yes

place till he reached here. He took |
his meals which were very light |
ones, in the water, the steamer
Chesapeake supplying him with
one. lie left Marietta in a heavy
fog, which lasted until ten, bv
which time he had reached Blen-
nerhasset Island, thus losing all

at Rayenswood at half past six in

Carrie ut Goose Island at half past
nine; Syracuse at halt past four
in the morning.
A little below Pomcroy the
steamer Telegraph nearly ran over
him, so near that he was under the

but for some reason his call was
not needed.
About a mile anda half above
l.cre his whole journey was about
TO come to an end, from the fact
that an old man had covered him
with his rifc, supposius him to be
some ilnc game. The captain says
in this way he runs his greatest
risk. People imagine some wild
animal in the water, he often has
TO yell out or blow his horn.
At this part of his narrative his
supper was brought in, consisting
ofa glass Of beer, eggs and toast
He eats 10 meat, takes only two
meals day.
Continuing his narrative while
ealing he went on to say that he
finds the people on the way are
still greatly mistaken as to his
method of travelling, believing he
iloast without any excrtion on his
part, and that a boat accompanies
him. He says that the genera

source whence they received their
bad money. From that time for.
ward there was 4 large amount of
those fac similes used. They were
advertised in the Northern papers
to be sold at three cents on the

been in the city some three weeks
Acton met him aud compelled him
to settle a balance on an unpaid
