EEMem John Sherman Lost kFts
Teknpera

Early in John Shernan's Congressional
career he lost his temper for the first and
last time, so far as any OF his Legislative
associates know. 1t Was while he was 3
rrember Of the lower House and during
one OF his speeches against slavery. He
said something that was objectionable to-
the Southern members, and z man named
Wright, from Tennessee. who was under
the Influence Of liquor at the time, called
Sherman liar Sherman did not hear
The remark, but the official reporter did
and incorporated it into the Globe. Sher-
man saw it nexu day and arose to q qaes.
ton of privilege. He stated that he did
not hear Wright use tbs language, but il
such s. remark had been made Wright was
evidently drunk when he uttered it.
Wright attempted to reply, but his friends
compelled him to sit down. Later i'll tbs
day he walked past Sher1nar's desk and
gave vent to sneer as ne did So Sher"
man, approaching the insult, picked up Il
box OF waters ald dashed it INTO Wright s
face. The Southerner attempted to draw
- pistol but was oyerpcwered. The ex-
citement was so great that an adjourn
ment of the House followed. Everyone
sxpected that duel would be the climax
Of the trouble, but happily nothing Of the
kind followed. Wright declared he would
shoot Sherman On sight, and both men
went armed for some time. On one occa~
sion Sherman met Wright near the Capt.
tol, and people who saw the men approach
one anosher thought an encounter WAS
inevitable. Sherman placed his hand on
his pistol, and like the hunter in the jun"
gle looked. tie beast in the eye. Wright's
mood had changed, and he passed on
without 3, word
