He had no apology 10 make. Hunter said this speech was an insult lO the House. Atkins said, |" be speaks of t0Vls; whom does he cali fools ?' ChiueQden withdrew all improper words. Hunter lnsistep upon words being taken down, anu then Carlisle offered a resolution cen suring ChiJtenden for language dlsre- specitul tO the House.
 Chitienden said the thought Of offending any member never entered his head, and without hesitation with drew every offensive word. He was thereupOn excused.

 The House went into committee on the sunOry civil bill, and Atkins moved Co strike out the appropriation ot $40. OO0 for printing 10000 copies of the official record of the Rebellion. He said he had always favored such printing, but the refusal to purchase the Polk and Bragg papers impaired the history; IL would not detIact from the glory of the Federal soldiers L. cumU mUllmvnI the CUufedrTates, but lhe contrary. However, he withdrew his mUUou, being assured by the Repub- licans that u Was OCsired to print eve yILiug that would throw light on the late War.
 Secretary Sherman received advices from New York previous to lhe issue If his order authorizing Assistant Treasurer HillhOuse 10 buy bonds, that the financial situation Was very threatening and unless large pur- chase of bonds be made the result would probably be disastrous.

 The death of Senator Carpenter will l make it impossible for the Republi- l cans tO control the organization Of the | next Senate immediately upon it's as- sembliug, even if Mahon or David l Davis voJe with them, for the Wiscon- ! sin Legislature cannot cOnstitutiOnally 1 hll the vacancy prior to the second | Tuesday after receiving notice from 1 the Governor of it's existence; hence 1 no election can take place before ! March s, end it will probably be de- layed beyond that time. There are a number of competitors for the sue cessIon already m the field. Decision in the Cannon Campbell Case.
