that any serious difficulty, approaching
war will grow out of the affair. Out

wholly forgotten now. 1t was an able

by 1T physically. Among others who
announced their intention OF answering
tessenden, jeff. Davis jumped up IN a
truly vitriohc mood and made most
vlrulent attack on Eessenden, insinuat-
ing that he was a disunionIst, according
to the tenor of his speech; as he Davis
interpreted it. Jeff's manner Was even
more insulting ia his tone of voice than
in what he said.
When he had finished Fessenden rose
slowly and said he had never uttered q
disunion sentiment in his life. "Can
the senator from Mississippi say as
auch," he asked, turning full upon
Davis.
YES" shouted JEFF springing to his
feet and shaking his fist ut Fessendep,
"and | have long sought for respect

assumed lowering aspect, and in q
voice that had the right ring in it he
called Jefi's attention ito notorious se-
cession speech which he had made at

with threats of secession and dIsunion.

The Vacant Room at the syhite HON .


Baltimore Herald: The Garfield
chamber in the white house still
remains unopened, and has never been
tenanted since it was vacated by the
wounded president in 1881. 1t is said
that President Arthur had horror Of
the place ,and that the present occupant
of the white house is equallyloth to break
the sombre silence of the apartment.
This course is natural, but ii is scarcely
wise. General Garfield did not die in the
room, so there is scarcely even ghostly
presence to forbid the removal Of the
close curtains and the sealing Up of the
apartment as haunted chamber.
There is not too much space in the
white house, and no desecratlon would
be implied in the restoration of the
chamber to condition of occupancy
and usefulness.
