■MEMORABLE SCENES Which Blaine Bore a Conspicuous in ’ Part in Congress. remington Letter to the Cincinnati Enquirer: In the days when sectional feeling was ’raught. and the oligarchy of the slave L er commanding, the heated debates in he Congressional halls have led to duels 1 and tragedies. The gradual growth of power *** .sed hi the States of the North while it T 1 * mollified the climax of such con * versies did not for years abate the acri nnv ami bitterness which such contests v raked In these piping times of peace Editions have much changed. The in feeling engendered by the war has ihsided rartv lines are not welded by ?L„se feeling, and a scene in either branch of Congress is now the exoep tioU' BLAINE'S DAYS IN CONGRESS. Contemporaneous with his servieo as a Representative and Senator no one charac ter has passed through such momentous and Mi lting periods as James G. Blaine. While in the Speaker's chair Blaine kept aloof from personal controversies. He may have {L n behind some of the quarrels, but he never led them. As Speaker he was an autocrat in that he shaped the legislation of the lower branch. Unlike all the presiding officers who have succeeded him, Blaine never allowed a point of order to be debated. He gave to paliamentary law instantaneous effect through prompt rul ing The only recourse from his decision was through appeal, and he was never over ruled. THE CRISIS OF BLAINE’S HISTORY was in 1876. Tho Democrats had secured joutrol of the lower house, and Michael C Kerr, a pronounced invalid, succeeded to the chair. Blaine was then an open candi date for the Presidential nomination. On the floor he was recognized as the leader of his wing. He was alert, aggressive, de fiant, hut never obtrusive. Had it not been tortile investigation of the Fort Smith and Kittle Rock railroad ho might have remained passive. This inquiry, however, led to scenes in the legislative hall the like of which had not been seen before or since. It was in 1576 that ono Harrison, of In diana, who was a government director of the Union Pacific railroad, reported the loss or, misuse, or misdirection of certain bonds of the Fort Smith and Little Rock railroad. Two of the newspapers of tho West who then supported Bristow for tho Presidential nomination, and which now support Blaine, were used as the instru mentality to work up public opinion against Blaine, and the result was a Congressional investigation. The loading spirit of the Fort Smith and Little Rock railroad was Josiah Caldwell, who at the time the in vestigation was ordered was in Europe. The Judiciary Committee, of which J. Proctor Knott, of Kentucky, was Chairman, had charge of the inquiry, but the responsibility was turned over to a sub-committee, of which Eppa Hunton, of Virginia, who subsequently was a member of the cele brated electoral commission, was Chair man. As the investigation proceeded there was the desire on the part of Blaine's maligners to show that Col. Tom Scott, of the Penn sylvania system, had bought from Caldwell certain bonds, aggregating in the value of SIOO,OOO, which were given to Blaine. Scott had been on the witness stand two days and made forcible denial of the allegation. Still the inquiry seemed to bo directed to the one point, Caldwell, the principal witness, was abroad and beyond the reach of the Speak er's subprena. He alone could fully exoner ate Blaine. A FIELD-DAY IN ,THB HOUSE. I review this for the antecedent history,so that the climax may be better appreciated. It was one of the warm, lazy days of June, when the House of Representatives was in prosaic session. Blaine interrupted the sleepy proceedings and arose to a personal privilege. His usual pallid face was flushed. It was plain that he was laboring under great mental excitement and strain. Proc tor Knott sat in his seat, one in the front row, near the Speaker, unconcerned. From hm seat, well in the rear, Blaine, addressing him said: "1 want to ask the gentleman from Ken tucky a question. Has he heard from Josiah Caldwell?” To this Knott made somewhat an evasive answer, when Blaine advancing quickly to where Knott sat, repeated the question. R ith great excitement, he added, “I want a categorical reply.” Mr. Knott said he would answer in his own time and way, whereupon the ex bjpeaker, livid with rage, charged that on the previous night Knott, as Chairman of Investigating Committee, had received a cablegram from Caldwell, duted at Lon don, wholly exonerating him from the im putations cast upon him, and that he sought to suppress it. This declaration, thus made publicly, pro voked the spirit of fair play, and for ten minutes there never was such a scene in any legislative hall. On the floor there was bed lam. Every one in the crowded galleries were on their feet cheering and yelling like mad. Blaine, himself, was the central figure 01 ms admiring friends, pale and haggard, while Knott's usual blooa-red face was al most vermilion. It was that scene which inspired the sug gestion of “The Plumed Knight” to Bob mgersoll, who nominated Blaine for the rresMency in the Cincinnati Convention in iOiO. IN THE COMMITTEE-ROOM. Th, very next day there was a sequel, j,. committee of Investigation was pur *ts work w ith Eppa Hunt-on as its Sub coairnian, when Knott came into the room. ™ carried in his hand a blackthorn cane, no, however, he usually carried. It was ‘‘(try and gnarled. Blaine sat at the centre 1 quite a long table. Knott came to where ? ■ aH ‘l asked him if he did him the in of the belief that he would be a party oppression of a dispatch which might tae judgment of tho investigators.

Before I reached the front view of the bar he had retraced his steps ana by the same route he entered the hotel he passed out of it. He was then evidently cogitating whether or not, the letters l>ing his own, he should keep them. What might have_ been his conclusion then, the fact is that he did keep them, and subsequently under pressure read them himself from his * 10 House of Representatives. n hen Mulligan found that Mr. Blaine intended to retain the letters he was , rage. The next afternoon lie I-’ Gibson i who was then the tv astungton correspondent of the New York Sun. After reciting the fact that Blaine re fused to give them up, Mulligan intimated that after all their contents in substance would be known, as he had made a nio moramdum of each, “let me see it,” said Gibson. Then he fumbled through each pocket thrice repeated, and as the search proved futile he shouted with disappoint ment: “Ky , he's got the mimirandi.” SCORING MASSACHUSETTS. Blaine while being a good friend is also a wary enemy. He loves well and hates well. In his early ambition for the Presidency he found antagonism in Massachusetts among a class who imagined they could find the perfect man for the office. In the conven tions of 1876 and 1880, the dudish element in politics represented Massachusetts as dele gates. Quite a coterie opposed Blaine, among them Senator Hoar and his brother, Ebenezer Rock wood, who was Grant’s At torney-General atone period, and whom the United States Senate did not find good enough to confirm as an appointee on the bench of the United States Supreme Court. Blaine made no open manifestation of his disappointment, but bided his time. It came when he was a member of the United States Senate. The State of Maine had presented as its contribution to Statuary Hall a statue in marble of Governor William King. The exercises incident to its acceptance took place in the Senate Chamber. It gave Blaine the chance to review the history of Massachusetts, and in such a way that he exposed the utter ignorance of the Bav State Senators of the history of their own commonwealth. It was a terrific assault on the patriotism of the early history of the State, and to this day it is grudgingly laid up against him. TIIE ELOQUENT JOHN YOUNG BROWN. Away back in the days when there were frequent tilts in Congress, John Young Brown represented, I think, the Mountain District of Kentucky. Ho was the most brilliant orator in the body. A young man of signal gifts, he had been elected to Con gress before he had acquired the required constitutional age. He seldom spoke, but his rising to address the body was notice of itself that something more than common place might lie expected. There had been a debate on some measure of reconstruction in which Ben Butler had figured prominently. Brown was a man of strong sympathy with his Southern people, and somewhat impul sive under excitement. He took the floor to reply to Butler. I quote from memory in recalling the scene: “Ms. Speaker,” he said, “once there lived a man whose trade was murder, and who made a living by selling the dead bodies of his victims. His name became so as sociated with his crime that throughout the civilized world to-day it is known as Burking. Were I to describe all that is pusillanimous in war, forbidden in peace—” At this point Speaker Blaine’s gavel fell with a sharp rap. “Does the gentleman from Kentucky contemplate a personal allusion?” “I am putting a hypothetical case,” was the answer. Then continuing, Brown said: “Were Ito describe ail that is pusillani mous in war ;forbidden in peace,inhuman in thought, indecent in morals, I should call it Butlcrism.” This parallel of Ben Butler to Burke the murderer naturally created an explosion, Butler sat in his seat,his imperturbable face and strabismic eye a study. For the nonce the members were dazed. Then Hale, a burly member from interior New York, demanded that the words be taken down. While they were being tran scribed efforts were made to induce Brown to recall or modify them. This he refused. When the objectionable words were read him his answer was: “I stand by the record.” At first flash it was thought he would be expelled. The end was that he was ar raigned at the bar of the House for the Speaker’s censure. On passing this judg ment upon him Blaine, who liked him, let him <>lr easy with tho declaration that the proceedings of the House were of themselves sufficient censure. A SCENE WHICH DID NOT EVENTUATE. When Robeson was Secretary of the Navy under (Jon. Grant, W. C. Whitthonie. of Tennessee, was Chairman of the Naval Com mittee. After the Belknap exposure the Naval Committee, under Whitthome’s lead, made a hot pursuit of Robeson’s administra tion of his office. Indeed, the inquiry led to the feelings of bitter hatred between the Cabinet officer and the Tennessee member. Subsequently Robeson was elected to Con gress, Deing in the body to which Whit thome had also been elected. Robeson was then in a position to strike back. He took tho floor one day and charged that Whitthonie, when pursuing him, had begged favors, and went on to particularize them. During fcbeir recital Whitthorno be trayed undue excitement, and attempted re peated interruptions. A threatened scene, however, was intercepted by a wise restraint of temper. The next day Robeson was asked what he would have done had Whittbome made an assault upon him in the House, as some thought he might. “I would have shot him dead," was tho answer, “and I was prepared to do it.” OTHER “ECCENTRICITIES" OF GENIUS. A quite ludicrous scene was Drought about by a question of veracity between Gen. W. A. J. Sparks, once Commissioner of the General Land Office, and Heister Clymer, who represented a Pennsylvania constit uency. The weather was quite warm and both waxed wroth. Clymer had a good deal of the Quaker in him, though his con stituents were Germans. It was a war of words and it so ended, but both at one time had their coats off for a rough-and tumble. Conkling in the Senate was quite exasper nting. To Butler, of South Carolina, who once interrupted him in a speech, lie said; “I have no time to make answer to the member’s vaporing*.” Even Mr. Bayard an swering a charge of a colleague, said: “HeTies in ins throat.” Quite a character in his day was Beverly Dougluss, of Virginia, This man failed to kupa proper equilibrium because of Ins want of capacity in a stimulating sense. His prey seemed to be newspaper men. He f-amo into tho reporters’ gallery one day and threatened to eat any one of tho number who dwelt upon his infirmity. Then lie went to t lie flair and tried to make a siieech, despite tiio Speaker's admonition that lie was out of order. “1 don’t care for the gavel,” was his remark us friends led him tp n loss exiiosed place. Thus is it soon that as we grow older as a nation wo grow wiser as a people. To wit ness even now an exciting scene in Congress is a rarity. The era of good-will shows let ter in this respect than the attempt to hand over a lot of captured tattle flags. True reconciliation has come between tho sections, to the disgust and discomfort of the politician. A Family Blessing. Simmon’s Liver Regulator—the favorite home remedy—is entirely vegetable, and is the purest and best family medicine that is compounded. No error to be feared in ad ministering, no injury from exposure after taking, no loss of time. It is the best pre ventive medicine, and safe to take, no matter what the sickness may prove to lie, aiul in any ordinary disease will effect a speedy cure. THE MORNTNG NEWS: THURSDAY, JULY 14, 1887. THE BRIDE WILL HAVE $1,000,000. A New Orleans Belle Who is to Marry Thurlow Weed’s Grandson. Nelo York Letter to Indianapolis .Veins. One of the sweilest weddings of next fall will take place in October. It will lie the culminator of a most romantic story. The parties to the contract are Thurlow Weed Barnes, grandson of the late Thurlow Weed, and Miss Frances Isabelle Morris, daughter of John A Morris, the Louisiana lottery king, whose fortune is estimated at from $10,000,000 to $15,000,000. Miss Morris is his only child. She is worth $500,000 in her own right, and bn her wedding day she wiU receive $1,000,000 more from her in dulgent father. The ceremony will take place at the family mansion, at Throgg’s Neck, Westchester County. Thousands of invitations will be sent out to all sections of the United States—to New Orleans, where Mr. Morris married; to Chicago and San Francisco and to Europe, where the bride elect went to school. The Morrises, it is said, intend to make the wedding an epilhalmiuin in every sense of the word—a general rejoicing over the recovery of their daughter, who had been quite ill for several years. The magnificent residence will bo literally filled with the choicest flowers the world can produce, and the days following the wedding will be a series of fetes. The homestead is surrounded by seventy acres of land, beautifully laid out and dotted here and there with artificial bowers and parterres of rich green. Here the beautiful daughter will be married, surrounded by her friends and kindred. It is her wish that every one she ever knew should receive an invitation. Her life for the past few years has boon one of pain, and all that money could do was done to restore her to health again. Miss Morris was born twenty-four rears ago in New Orleans. She has black hair ami eyes, regular features and fair com plexion. Her lire began among the pictur esque scenes of Louisiana, among the orange groves, druidical oaks festooned with gray moss, the fragrant magnolia trees and the shrinking mimosa. Her beauty was more radiant and sparkling than that of the languid, dreamy daughters of the French. Her father went to New Orleans over a generation ago and engaged in business. Ho married Miss Cora Henneu, of that city, and prospered He became interested in the Lousiaria State lottery, and his wealth accumlated rapidly. What he is really worth now is variously estimated at from $10,000,000 to $15,000,000. He spent his winters in New York and traveled with his family in Europe until he purchased his home in Westchester County. Miss Morris grew up healthy and appar ently strong. When she was 17 years of age she was sent to Europe to school, where she remained four years. She sjjeaks French and German fluently, and before lier illness was accounted a great pianist. She studied a while under Liszt. The daughter, after enjoying the best advantages of France and Germany in the educational line, returned home and entered society, where she became the In die and a great favorite. Several years ago the greatest honor that the Cres cent City can bestow upon a fair daughter was conferred upon Mias Morris,that of being queen of the carnival. Three years ago she was taken ill. It was not thought seriously of at that time, as the illness was not so violent and dangerous. Doctors were sent for, and no relief was afforded the young patient. It was evident that she suffered from nervous prostration and irritation of the spine. Everything that science anti money could do was done, but tho patient got no better. Finally she was placed under the treatment of I)r. William Todd Helmuth, of this city. He was attending at that time the late Catherine L. Wolfe. When Miss Wolfe went to a watering-place, Miss Morris, accompanied bv her parents, took a cottage there too, anti Dr Helmuth gave up his summer practice to attend them. Mr. Morris bought a large house, corner of Thirtieth street and Madison avenue, and furnished it elegantly. The streets adjacent were covered with tanbark to prevent the noise of vehicles disturbing the patient. For months, though; she could not move at all, and had to be wheeled around the room in an invalid chair. Her cheeks, once so rosy, were pale and sunken, and tho bright eyes had almost lost their lustre. The gradual but sure improvement Dr. Helmuth brought about caused great joy in the Morris household. To be able to walk on crutches was a beginning. Dr. Helmuth last October called in the noted electrician, Dr. W. H. King, and Miss Morris underwent his treat ment. A powerful electric battery was rented and placed in the patient’s room. Every day Dr. King called and gave her the benefit of his skill. The combined treat ment of both the doctors had the desired effect and the patient grew better. Last March she went to Lakewood, N. J., to breathe the fresh air from the resinous pines and enjoy the quietude of that well-known retreat. Curing the latter part of the month Mr. Barnes appeared and began at once to pay devoted attention to Miss Morris. It was the first time he had met her since she was a little girl, .She was not romping around then as in her girlhood days, but getting about slowly by the aid of a stick. She had discarded the crutches some weeks previous. Mr. Barnes was a chivalrie lover and loved at first sight, and the wedding day was set. Mr. Barnes resides in Albany. He edited the memories of his grandfather. He is a widower, aliout thirty-four years old, is li feet 4 inches high, rather heavy set and has a clean-shaven, solemn-looking face. It is said that he is now n member of the firm of Messrs. Houghton, Mifflin & Cos., publishers, Boston. Miss Morris is now thoroughly recovered, and is at Bar Harbor with her parents and Mr. llamos. Mr. Morris is going to have a fine summer resi dence erected there to present t<. his daughter as a wedding gift in addition to the $1,000,000 above mentioned. CAPTURE OF A SILVER FISH. A Boy Lands a Monster With an Ordi nary Hook and sc. Line. A dispatch from Mississippi City to the New Orleans Times-Democrat, says: The exploit of tho Florida (fisherman, who lauded a tarpon, more familiarly known as the silver fish, with rod and reel, has been excelled by a young lad of Handslsiro named Germain, who, with a common fell ing |Hile, a 5 cent line and an ordinary trout hook, landed a 300 pound tarpon at this place on the 4th. Germain was fishing for mackerel on the canning factory wharf, when his Lait went under with a jerk. It seemed so like a mackerel bite ho essayed to land his game in mackerel style. The resistance offered und the immediate appearance of the silver-coated monster, who broke the water and threw himself into the air, only to dive liack to the deep, showed that a tarpon was hooked. The lad held on to the pole like grim death and yelled. Messrs. Willie Hayward, a keen sportsman, Thai! Lyons, an expert fisher man, and Jack Craig, another expert, being on hand, relieved the lad at intervals and the fish was skillfully played, until exhausted it laid panting on its side by the pier posts. Three thursts of the harpoon glanced off. The fourth transfixed him. Its junqis meantime had been immense. It threw itself from the water and turned with that peculiar wriggle which, it is said, throws the hook from the jaws, but every effort it rnudt) to get a straight tension on the line was met by tho man at tho end of tho ixilc, and, almost lifeless, tho grand game laid by the |iosts of the pier. To get tho monster on tho pier was the next ques tion. As ho laid supinely on his side Juek Craig skinned down one of the posts and inserted a big hook in his Kills. This move ment of Craig’s resulted in a retaliatory movement On the part of the fish, which gave what old whalers have described as tho death flurry, and Craig was struck on tho head by the end of the fish’s tail, which for amomont stunned him. Upon hisrecovcry the parties immediately pulled the grand catch up on the pier. Its weight was in the neighborhood of 300 poumls. It, is regretted that the fish was sculwl and its scales distributed among its captors and their friends, as if well mounted it would have been a beautiful specimen for display.
