the undersigned having this day witnessed
an examination Of the school, feel it due 10
the pubiic, and to- Mrs. Nichols, to state that
the performances Of the classes in general, fur
nishea evidence that they had been carefully
and judlciously instructed during the pas, ses-

THE JARVIS AFFAIR.

We most cordially hope that this second insult to
the dignity Of our national councls-thls second
outbreaklng Of indomitabe rage and venomous hate,
beneath walls that should at any rate afford protec-
tion if the laws are to be reverenced no where else
may meet with severe and melited and general
castigation. Persons of all parties should unite in
reprehensons, loud and deep, against such rancor-
Gus conduct which no provocaton can justify, and
no concession mitigate. He who shall have the
temerity to step forward the apologist for an as
sault at which every reasonable man, to whatever
political sect he may belong, must blush, will ex-
|hibit al instance Of analogous audacity, without
being able plead the palliative of sudden impulse
We trust that no one will be fool-hardy enough te
do ss but that the press, from Maine TO Florida
from the Atlantic to the Rocky mountains, viii
join in one general cry Of shame.

From the Pinsburg Gazette.

In the spring and summer of 1874 this alarming
occurrence took place, and involved several of the
most populous counties Of West Pennsylvania in the
horrors of civil war. The dissatisfaction showed
itself in several other counties in Pennsylvania and
even in Maryland. Much private property was de,
stroyed; the mail was stopped by armed men. and
cut open the Marshall of the District seized,
his life was threatened, and only saved by the in
terposition of some person more humane than the
rest.
Troops from New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Mary
land and Virginia were marched out to the neigh
borhood Of Pittsburg, at an immense expense to the
General Government, and the ''greatness OF the
force prevented the further eHusion of bloud.''-

ELoy1 The Baltimore Patriot.

We publish to day Iessage of the President of
the United States to both Houses OF Congress, on
subject that demands the attention, not only Of Con-
gress, but of the American people. The person as.
sautng the Presidents private Secretary while bear
ing message from the Executive to Congress, and
within the Capitol, was Russell Jarvis, one Of the
Editors Of the notorious Washington Telegraph.
A letter published in the Philadelphia papers says,
that Jarvis met the Secretary within few steps Of
the House Of Representatives, sand kicked, struck,
and otherwise abused him." 1t but few weeks
since duff Green, the other Editor of the Telegraph,
assaulted one of the Reporters of the Senate in a
Committee Room. And has it come to this, that the
officers of Government are no longer safe from per.
sonal violence in the performance of their duties
Will the people tolerate such ruflian conduct We
think not. We are much mistaken in the mora
sense of the people of this country if they do no
frown down the bullying system that has been adopt
ed and practiced upon BY certain desperadoes 0

THE SECOND ASSAULT.

Had Duff Green been punished for his outrage,
lately. in one of the chambers Of the Senate, there
is little probability that JARVIS, his partner, would
have assaulted the private Secretary of the Presi-

as we have jackson majority in Congress, this IS
only foretaste of what would ensue' should the
military fever predominant over the sober sense OF

THOMAS HART BENTON,

Senator in Congress gives the following account
of the conduct of General Jackson in one of his
ARRAYS few years ago.
Franklin, (Ten.) Sept. 10, 1918.
"a difference which had been for some months
brewing between Gen. jackson and myself, produc-
ed on Saturday the 4th inst in the town OF Nashvl-
lie, the most outrageous at1ray every witnessed IN a
civilized country In communicating this affair to
my friends and fellow citizens, limit myself to the
statement Of few leading facts, the truth of which
am ready to establish by judicial proofs.
81. That myself and my brother Jesse Benton
arrived in Nashville on the morning OF the ARRAY
and knowing of eneral Jackson's threats, went and
took our lodgings in a different house from the one
! in which he stayed, on purpose to avoid him.
I "o That the General and some of his friends
came to the house where we had put up, commen-
ced the attack By LEvELLING A PISTOL AT ME, when
| had no weapon drawn and advancing upon me at
quick pace, without giving me time to draw one
l "3 That seeing this, my brother fired upon
Gen. Jackson, when he had got within OF ~ feet
of me.
!, "a. That four other pistols were fired in quick
> succession one by Gen. jackson at me, two by me
at the General, and one by Colonel Coffee at me
In the course ofthis firing, Gen. Jackson was brough
y 10 the ground, but received no hurt.
: "5. That daggers were then drawn. Col. Cot
fee and Mr.. Alexander Donaldson made at me ant
rive me five slight wounds. Captain Hammond ane
Mr.. Stuhely Hays engaged my brother, who being
81 still weak from the effect Of a severe wound ne hat
lately received in duel, was not able to resist tw
men. They got him down, and while Capt Ham
e. mond beat him on the head to make him lay still
g Mr.. HAYS attempted to stab him, and wounded hin
n in both arms as he lay his back, parrying hi
& thurst with his naked hands. From this situation
4 generous hearted citizen of Nashville, Mr. Sum
a|mer, relieved him. Before he came to the groun
y my brother clappcd loaded pistol to the breas
of Mr. Hays, to blow him through, but 1t MISE
fire.
Sc. Ny own and my brothers pistols carried
st balls each for it was our intention, if driven
y, arms, to have no clild's play. The pistols fired
me were so near that the blaze of the puzze of on
~ Of them burnt the sleeve of my coat, and the othe
On aimed at my head al little more than an arm
length from it..
ne ar. Captain Carroll was to have taken part
ne the ARRAY but absent by the permission OF Ger
by Jackson, as he has since proved by the General
nd certificate certificate which reflects less honou
| know not whether upon the General, or upon tn
Captain.
lie "8. That this attack was made upon me
by the house where the Judge of the District, M
mt Scarcy, had his lodgings So little are the laws ar
n its ministers respected! Nor has the civil author
he y vet taken cognzance of this horrible outrage
