RIDDLEBERGER OBJECTS.
Strange TO say, ex-senator Riddleberger
does not desire the report of the episode in
the senate the other night to be strken out
of the record. This was done upon the mo-
tion of Senator Daniels, his colleague, who
begged that he CRiddlebergerl might be
spared the disgrace of having the incidents
in the public records, and by "a unanimous
vote of the senate every thing referring to
him was stricken out. But he writes from
his home in Virginia objectng, and says he
wants the record left as it was, but he will
not be gratified. The senate has already
voted to have it stricken out, and as that
congress has adjourned sine die, its proceed
lngs can not be reversed.
