A serious row occurred between our
lively and eloquent friend, Senator Foote
of Miss, and Senator Fremont, Of Califor-
MIA, in the Rotunda of the Capitol, at Wash
ington, on Saturday. The following is the
telegraphic despatch in the Boston papers
Of yesterday -
t. A serious alteration occurred yesterday between
Senators Foote and Fremont at the Rotunda, in
which Fremont told Fooe that he was no gentle
blow. Mr.. Foote had, in the Senate directly ac-
cused Mr.. Fremont OF seeking aud urging legislation
over the gold lands of California for his private
interest and benefit, which Mr.. Fremont warmly, re-
PEELED. Mr. Foote'S blow brought blood. The com
batnnts were separated by Senator Clarke 1t was
said that Fremont had challenged Foote."
A subsequent despatch, says the Boston
Journal, announces that d" the difficulty has
been amicably settled. Mr.. Fremont adj
dressed note to Mr.. Foote, demanding q
retracton of the language used by him in
debate, to be signed in the presence ofwit
nesses, and challenge note was left if he
refused. Foote declined to sign the paper,
but sent note in reply TO Fremont, dis
claiming any intention of giving personal
offence, in the language used by him in
debate"
Now we call this in the highest degree
Pickwickian Mr.. Foote smashes Mr..
Fremont's nose SO as to produce highly
picturesque appearance Of blood" after
having very emphatically impeached the
motives of the said Mr.. Fremont. Where
upon, Mr. Fremont, his nose remaining
smashed, demands retraction, (not Of the
blood, but the language) and writes sup.
Elementary challenge to mortal combat, as
a sort of codicl, in case Foote should de-
cline the retlac,on, Foote did decline the
retraction, but wrote very friendly Pick
wickan note to Fremont himself, "dis.
claiming any intention of giving personal
offence in the language used" but saying
nothing about Mr.. Fremon,'s damaged
nose ! The account goes on 10 say -
