that penally should be extended to somo
other crimes, now rifo in the land, besides
that of murder.

should bo kept at homo, where such ex

themselves as others see them, they wo'ld

Much work has been nccompl shed this
week in tho House, but the Senate has
been given up t "gun." Judgn M.ilh

Mr. Bin klutid of Sandusky, shocked

ordered tho deserters lo be brought out.
Five soldiers rushed into the bouse, but
the others were prevented from entering
by iho eldest daughter, who dashed the

led upon the ground outside. She then
closed iho door and locked it, and lakin '

charged the llouso willi gross injustice

like to know who upheld such an opinion.
Hence bo wished lo vote on the resoln

had cnnimiled an oll'cnce to the House
as money was not provided to bo used lo

Mr. Matteson had been guilty of an of

Up to the time of his appointment he did
not know of nny of this outside influ

of the actions of the Committee, insisting

condemning tho action o! that Comniitn-e.
On the contrary, it was Ihe action of the
Committee which com 'tidied the present
Administration io change its course. It
was the action of that Committee which
compelled the removal of Gov. Shannon.
Ii was tho action of that Committee
which caused ihe appointment of Gov.

lie.
Mr. Sliormnn did not hoar this, and
con. ludod his speech. On the following
day the subjoined took place.
Mr. SIIKKM AN. Mr. Speaker, I rise
to a question of privilege. I notice in
tho official report of our proceed
ings of yesterday, as published in
the Ulot just laid or. our tables,
that the following language is attributed
to a member from Tennessee, as having
been msiln in tho midst of my remarks
on the Kansas amendment.
The SPliAIC K. Tho Chair does not
understand a report of the proceedings of
the Glolit to involve a muter of privi
lege; but it may involve a matter of per
sons! explanation.
Mr. SHHUMAN. Then I ntk the
unanimous consent of tho Hou-o to mike
a personal explanation.
Mr. UUItNK IT. I will not object, if
tho gentleman from Tennessee is iu bis
Seal.
Several MiEMnKns'. Ho i preront.
Mr. SIIKKM AN. I CnJ in tho Gluhe
the following :
" Mr. t rir'it, of ri-nniMi-i,, (In tin oal, unit U low
tnni itf v ie .) "1 lull'. lie.
1 wish now that tho gentleman from
Tennessee may say whatever he desires
lo that remark whether be is or is not
correctly reported, and who'lier bo did
use the Innginigo attributed to him?
Mr. WRIGHT, of 'lenr.aseo. Mr.
Speaker, in using tho language which I
am reported lo have used on yesterday,
with regard lo the statement mado by ihe
member from Ohio, J meant no disres
pect to this House. I believe at the
limu, and now believe, that the state
ment mado by that gentleman was un
it ue. I have no more to say.
Mr. SHERMAN. I have, under Hie
circumstances, but little to Bay. This
remark was made in so low a lone that i;
was not, nnd could not, bo beard in this
part of the Hull. 1 submit whether
this fact docs not show that this lan
guage was used under cover, bo that I
could not know it. Before I was inform
ed of what was saiu, the member left the
House. Sir.il is tho language of black
guirdism, induced by excitement and
druukencBs, and needs only to bo despis
ol. Tlio remark made to day shows thai
the member, whether drunk or sober, is
not entitled lo the notice of a gentle
man. The SPEAKER. The Chair is of tl
opinion that tho gentleman is not iu or
der. Mr. SHERMAN. I will say ono word
moru. I suppose lh.it it was only neoes
siry to call the attention of thai member
with whom my lolalions heretofore,
though not intimate, had been kindly, to
tlio remark I have read, to call forth from
him a manly rcstraction.
Mr. WRIGHT, of Tennessee, took
tlio floor.
TheSI'EMCE't. Tho gentleman can
only proceed by unanimous consent.
Several Mkuhkus. There is uo objec
tion. Mr. WRIGHT, of Tennessee, i can
not of couso be expected lo bady epith
ets w.th toe L'entleman from Ohio until
bo relieves himself from tlie imputation
which I think has beeti cast upou hiir.
This is all I have to say.
The subsequent reucontro in the House
on lb 2n.li ult., has been reported by
our lelegrapbio correspondence, but not
correctly. Tlio New York pipers of
Friday last contain a different version of
lite iitlair, which makes il clear that Mr.
Wright approached Mr. Sherman wiih
the attention of provoking a quarrel, and
then shooting him down in cold blood.
We quote the account of the I'tibune'i
sjecnil correspondent, undor date of
'I burs lay, Feb, 20th. Ma says:
A gruat. excitom 'til was occasioned in
the House this morning by the following
occurrence; Mr. Wright of Tennessee
came up in front of Mr. Sherman's (of
Ohio) dusk, and folding his arms, con
fronted ilr. Sherman with a scowl and
attitud. of dcliuice and insult Mr.
Sherman, with great quickness, observ
ing that Mr. Wright's puipose was to
provoke an insult, cooly took up some
Wafers from bis desk in liis finger and
cast, them in Wright's face. Thereupon
Wright undertook to draw bis pistol
Sherman at once rose to his- feel, when a
number of members immediately inter
fered and prevented further consequen
ces. One parly of gentlemen escorted
Wright back to his seal, and another re
moved Mr. Sherman without the bar of
the House. Tito latter, however, quick
ly returned and resumed bis seat.
'1 bus was an assasM nation prevented
on the floor of Hie llouso simply by a
hitch in a co-it pocket. Sherman's quick-
nessanu coon;, sj were admirable.
Great is Slavery and its representatives!
Lady Franklin, say the London
News, has addressed and published a
letter to Lord I'almerston, seeking lo en
gage Ihe sympathy of thoso in power in
tlie lespn;cb of an exhibition in search
of the remains of Ihe Frsnklin party.
She endeavors to sbow that the proposed
search may be made with 'slight hazard
of life and very small cost, atid observes:

ing just now.
Yes, said hn, earnestly, capital weath

If things turns out well, 1 shall have a
hundred pounds to carry lo market. rou
wouldn't like a few, would you?
We h istenod to inform him that our
I.irder was fully supplied, and not feeling
particularly interested in tlifi turn be bad
given the subject endeavored to broach
another topic.
The Allies find it difficult matter to
lake Sebastopol, Mr. Jones. 1 suppose
you havo rend tho latest accounts lrom
the seat of war?
No.
Tho Russians have gained a decided
victory. It is thought, however, that
there is a posobility of the supplies be
ing cut oil, so that the garrison will be
compelled, by fenr of sl.rvation, to cn
piuilii'e. You don't say so! returned Mr. Jone.i,
I wonder, be continued, after A dause.bis
eyes lighted up with a new and brilliant
idea, 1 wonder whether il wouldn't bo a
good speculation to send a cargo of sau
sages to Sebastopol? There aint nothing
n.oie wholesome, nnd if they are in dan
ger of being starved out they'd ba like!)
lo pay pretty well
We venluie I to suggest t' nt tho nllied

Tho next tini'. wo met Mr. Jo-ies was
after the dentli of his wife. Tliero was
sorrow in hi., eye, and black crspo on his
hat. Our hympathies were touched.
Mr. Jonos, said we, wo havo beard of
your misfortuno. It is indeed a heavy
cross to bear, but you must summon up
all your fortitude
You don't know, snid be, grasping our
hand, how much. You never can know.
Such a treasure as she was, said be con

Mr. Jones seemed overpowered by bis
grief at.d walked sadly away. Wo felt
that wo could offer no-adenuate ronsnl.
tationto ono whoso sorrow proceeded
from such a cause, and did not at-
tempi it.
