On motion of Mr. Aldrich, Papin was ar rested by the Sergeant-at-Arms and bogtbefore the Th.r of the House. Speaker Wallace said: "Mr. Papin, you have been brought before the Bar of the House to receive such punish ment as the House may adjudge for contempt of the House in att.oipting Ito corrupt certain of its memben." Papin replied: "Mr. Speaker and gentlemen of the House, I swear upon the Bible and everything that is sa cred that the alleghticai made is a slander and a lie."

Section 3 repeals all inconsistent acts and resoiutiQns. Resolution authorizing the clerk to issue pay certificates to the witnesses summoned in the investigation of Judge Wright's conduct taken up. Mr. Miller said that he had heard on the street that a member of the in vestigating committee had asked per sons to test.ify against Judge Wright, even if it was false, and had told them _they would be paid for their services; and he asked that the matter be post poned till to-morrow, so that he might bring affidavits to that effect. He said if he did not bring those affidavits the House might expel him. If they would give him half an hour, he would produce them at once. Mr. Hamilton said he did not see any necessity for bribing witnesses when at least a thousand persons saw Judge Wright drunk a: the theatre in Washington. Mr. Gantt made a point of order that Judge Wright's conduct was not the subject before the House, which was sustained by the Chair. Mr. Gantt then objected to Hamil ton's proceeding without leave of the House. The question was taken as to wheth er Hamilton should be allowed to pro ceed, and decided in the affirmative. Mr. Hamilton-Every member who says that Judge Wright is not guilty knows that he is guilty. Mr. Gantt rose to a question of privilege, and said :If the gentleman will take advantage of the permission granted by the House to intruda upon us, we can settle the matter outside. Mr. Hamilton-What is the use in this gentleman talking that way ? He knows there is not a man on that side of the House that will go outside with mec. :Meesrs. P. F. Bradley and Blue, members of the committee, dema~nded that Mr. Miller should name the mem ber of the committee who had at tempted to suborn witnesses. Mr. ZMhjer said that he wyould do so if the House ordered it. The Chair suggested the appoint ment of a committee to investigate the matter, and on motion of Mr.D1. F.

FOR THE HERALD. Our Washington Letter. WASHINGTON, D. C., May 23, 1877. All signs fail if the President is riot at tempting to remove some of the ill feeling occasioned among members of his party by his course since he became President. Only two or three days ago lbe said to a Louis iana Conservative Delegation visiting him in the interest of a New Orleans Democrat, that he had done all he could for that class in that sectio:. He had an interview with Senator Blaine yesterday, one result of which will be the re-establishment of a Pension Agency at Portland oq elsewhere in Maine. Those who are pinning their faith on that Senator's active opposition to the Administration, by the way, may safely wait. I said last week that a few here be lieved he was seeking a way back to cordial relations with Hayes. More believe it now. In other ways than those mentioned above, the 'resident has signified his wish to re main on speaking terms with all the ele ments-good and bad-of the Republican party. The letter of Postmaster-General Key, to a Southern friend, afterwards pub lished, promises office to Conrervative Southerners only on condition that they should efficiently support the Administra tion, which meant first that they should help to organize the House in the interest of Hayes. As it becomes certain they will not do this, the indications are th it the offices will go where the Postmastei-Gene ral threatens in such event-to members of the Republican party. And, as the Presi dent has found, he aould be virtually with out a party if he dealt only with "reform" Republicans. What success he will have, if he attempts to buy back those whom he has offended, is, as the boys say, "further on." The Murphys are descending upon us. Our own temperance organizations, includ ing the Janadals, and the Mrs. R. B. Hayes temperance society, both native here and to the manor born, will heartily unite with the M.rrphvs, and the Methodist and Bap tist ministers, most of whom are already active in the work, wilt not be behind any other class. Though the Janadals have of late extended their operations into the States, they are peculiarly a Washington institution. Membership here is limited to those who can prove a very bad character on the ,ubject of temperance-who have joined every other society and broken all their pledges, for instance. The other the Mrs. R. 13. H ayes Temperance Society is a new venture, and is founded on a popu lar delusion as to the use of wine at the White House during this Administration. yesterday (Monday) and for some days last week, the crowd of office seekers at the White House was unprecedented. The "dark days" of March, when the city seem ed full of that class, and the President in trying to say a word to -each of themi, had no) time for anything else, were not to be compared-to these swelbering days of May, when men ought to be too much exhausted to "seek" anything. Getting wisdom through experience the President now sees butfew of the callers. His private secre tary receives them, and is a very proper 1n for the duty, being always on hand and always good natured. A delegation of Methodists called yester day, and had a protracted interview. The President does not excel as ai off-hand speaker. In fact, he is a failure in that line, but lie did well in talking to the Methodists and made a goon impression. Secretary Evarts has decided not to ap pear before the Courts hereafter, while hold ing a place in the Cabinet. This is eminent ly wise and proper, for the reason, if for no other, that the examole of so lygli an offcer wouidl ave weight with tihousands hold ing smaller places, and would cause Govern mettt office to be looked upon as a conve nience and as not requiring the strict atten tion it should have. Having a cheap set of Cabinet officers, as Grant usually had, is not much worse for the officials to cheapen their office by attending to outside buei ness. . -RFEi0. A Card From Felix Torrence. To the Editor of The News and CQurier; The publication of the proceedings of tho United States Court in your paper of the 18th leads inc to ask for space inm your journal to correct any imputation which the testimony of T. H. Hayne may have east upon my phargeter. . I again distinctly state that I never made use of the language relative to the Ellenton prisoners attr-ibuted to me. I biayo fo interest in having them convicted, and never dlesired to sit upon their trial. I appea1l to Capt. G. W. Croft and family, who, with his colored nurse, sat immuediately in front of me, to corroborate my state: ment that no pers'a sat ailonzgside of me fr-om the tim.e~ I left Branchville ntil my arrival at Charleston. I appeal to WV. T. Tarrant, Intendant of the Town of Newberry, and Y. J. Pope and Maj. C. H. Suber, lawyers of that place, who have known me for the past five years, to testify whether I could be guilty of uttering a deliberate falsehood. Messrs 0-. W. Williams and Frank Taylor, for whom I have worked in your city for three or four years, know that my character 1 hs never heretofore been questioned. The foreman and other members of the jury upon which I have served at I the April term of the United States 1 Court believe that my course has been hoest and straightforward in all my dealings since we have been associ-' ated together, and I desire still to preserve the unblemnished character 1 which it has been my aim to secure, gd whiph .now for the first time has ben assailed.

Earth I iir and sky were redolent, resonant and radiant of beauty, music and love. O And why not ? Were not the blue birds mating ? Was not the earth a carpet of green and gold and crimson ?

His quick'ning t and ripening rays seem somewhat u suppressed, as though some dark doubt 9 doth keep back his mighty work. a the cyclone of the East cometh into o the West upon wings laden with the b locust, with fierce floods and with the hurtling hail. Where is the dis- b ordant note in the harmonies ? Gentle reader, I have been on the a wingfrom the seaboard to the moun tains for several weeks, and have not a spoken of the heart of our "Mid- t lothian." Propriety forbade. When b [ shall have waited upon friends afar, o thn wvill I return to the "garden of n the State," to cull a choice boquet- b R~emember. if you please, that the it ~arden of the continent fringes our a State, and the blue waves kiss the o feet of our own queen of.the South, a and that we, who hold the middle way, b do not "love the one less because we ( love the other mnora." i Permit mie. however, before it be a too late, to walk once more out to e College Hill and view the beautiful a ruin so dear to us all, for ere ano*.her i moon shall wane, it may have disap- a peared forever ! Less than twenty il years ago this building was in embryo, and to-day it is a thing of the past- t a wreck-but still beautiful in its a ruins. The chapel, which was in the b form of a Maltese cross, has long sincee disappeared. The wings have fallen, b the centre has crumbled, and nought a but the front stands proudly erect-a h remnant of former beauty and grand- f ur. The site is the second most p oftv eminence between Columbia and s Greeville, an appropriate place for a seat of learning. The ground slopes ~ently and evenly on all sides, and ei he front of the building, wth its al Gothic doors, Norman windows and i Elizabethan peaks, looks like some de-o serted castle of the olden time. And is we look upon the grand old door o way, a long line of pleasant faces pass o efore i.s. Some still smile "across Gf he desert years," while others have e' ~allen upon that serene sleep, all un ~onscious of the vesper hymnals and n he sweet symphony of the watching oa stars. But Newberry, turning ten- h erly from the dust of the past, re- e ~laims her absent children, and for- E4 ~etting self and sect will give them ~ helter and share with them her crust, :hat they may receive the transcend ng and immortal glories of education! And while I silently linger amid ime' s receding shadows, the sweet M ~hiing of the evening bells float out B pon the glowing air, and your corres- 0C odent is sadly reminded that for the o last four or five years, either with the alling of the leaf, as Bryant has so if >eautifully expressed it, or with the )irth of the buds at spring-time, some A mc of the fair flowers that have grown ip in our social garden is cut down >y the ruthless reaper.

EDITORS:-On Thursday ist as the mellow shades of evening ,ere gathering about our bacheloric bode, we were aroused from a reverie y the arrival of the Excursion train -om Newberry on its way to Ninety ix. And glad of an opportunity to reak the dull monotony of a country fe we decided to become one of the I xcursionists, and so boarded the rain, where we recognized the faces E f Miss Motte, Misses Foot, Misses Eiugsimore and others. Scarcely had re been seated and begun to fea3t ur vision on a quota of the boast dnd S eauty of Newberry when the enchant. ieut was augmented by strains of elightful music from the Silver Cor et Band, which Came o'er our ear like the sweet South That breathes upon a bank of violets, Stealing and giving odor." n anazewe,t we looked upon the :ene and gradually lost sight of every ning elsc, when a little beauty came p smiling where we sat, and with the rost bewitching .glancc took a favor -ou her hair and pinned it upon our I at, and that's all we remember till j o'clock, when we arrived at our estination, where we were met with warm welcome by the good people I f Ninety-Six, who conducted us to 3e town hail. - This building, which eretofore has proven to be of suffi ient capacity for any emergency, was n u this occasion found wanting and a ras full to overflowing, in which state- t )ent I'm sure you will concur when I G ,ll you that the Kinety-Six ladies, dded to those of 'Newberry, disclosed e he marvelous fact that over 100 males were within its walls. After being highly entertained with a ramatic performances by members of 4 be Silver Cornet Band, the hall was p eared of stage, tables and chairs so s to allow the whole space to the ie aneers and promenaders. We, in he meantime, having taken a moon ght stroll with . On our return ti he vanguard of fair women appeared " pon the floor, and the word being e iven the ranks melted away in the isty mazes of the dance, and. till 2 'clock in the morning might have een seen the execution of the most per lexing figures and intricate evolutions s y long lines of fair women and hand >we men, all in perfect timetoe uisite music. toex S The shrill whistle, of the engine ow reminded us of our reluctant re- c arn to "Home, Sweet Home." So si idding our many new friends good ' ight, and enviously witnessing the iathematical contact of cherry lips rought about by and between the al tdics, we returned to Silver Street, C othing worthy of mention having w ceurred to war the pleasure of the' loonlight and balmy air, except the itter remonstrance of a young man from New York) against the use of ghts on board, saying it affected his ~ iseased eyesight. Scepticism, how-~ ver, is not yet extinct. The Hook nd Ladder picnic, followed by the hll, was delightful, but the Excur- h ion, taken all in all, we~ shall not see 0 ;s like agrain. BACHELOR. ~ P. 5 -Please inform your readers hat we have a note in our possession al 'ich was found on the floor of the o all-room, and which in its defaced ondition reads as follows : "I've been a rooding all night over your unfeeling p peech * * cannot dance for * * fl eartless * * shall go frantic * * t ilse, deluding ** please *' * g rivilege"- Here the strain was cut ort by the rest being torn off. B. MAInA DE MEDIoC.-In a narrow, wretch I little street in the famous city of Cologne. id within a stone's throw of its magnificent ithedral, stands a mean, low, weather saten house, which is one of the land- marks b; history, for here died in squalid misery C ie of the most famous women of which story contains any record. She was driven it of France by her son and became a wan ring fugitive. In succession England, ermany and Switzerland drove her away [ omi their confines, till at last, deserted by reryone, sick and dying, she found her way >Cologne, and there, in a wretched tene ent, perished, almost of starvation and glect, the wife, the mother, the daughterT a king; what would she have given in at er dire extremity for a paper of Duryeas' Sl proved Corn Starch-but thiongh she ra muid not procure it you can get it and Dur- mr ias' Satin Gloss Starch by inquiring of any spectable grocer.
