J' The Hartford tConn) Couram contains
the following conclusive and unanswerable re-
ply to the Times of that city, which had the
foolish tementy to claim praise for Frank Pierce
on account Of his aledged military II il,i's in
Mer,co ! If any further can be said in extin-
punishment OF General Pierce's miingtary "
fame, we find it hard to imagine rohaL The
truth is getting daily more and more apparent
that, while Pierce is doubtless d pleasant,
agreeable, companionabe man, Of moderate
abilities but the most powerful political parti-
san prejudices, the less there is said bout his
connection with the late War in Mexico
which he entered into late and retired from ear-
ly,--the better it will be for the Party that are
SO unfortunate as to have him as their NOM.

We regret to learn that Mr.. Moses Daily, a
citizen Of Washington, aged about sc years, left
the residence of his daughter, Mrs. Dorrell, on

The Presidency.

In contradicting the statement that Mr.. Clay
had expressed his preference for Mr. Cass for. the
Presidency, the New York Express publishes
the following from private letter written BY
Mr.. Clay to friend in New York:
"You rightly understood me in expressing a
preference for Mr.. Fillmore as the Wing candi-
date for the Presidency. This ! did before !

care not how generally the fact may be known,
but should not deem it right to publish any for
NAL avowal of that preference under my own sig
nature in the newspapers. Such course would
subject me to the imputation of supposing that
my opinious possessed more weight with the pub
lie than apprehend they do. The foundation
of my preference is, that Mr.. Fillmore has adj
ministered the executive government with signal
success and ability. He has been tried and found
true, faithful honest, and conscientious. / wish
to say nothing in derogation from his eminent
competitors. They have both rendered great
services to their country-the one in the field, the
other in the cabinet. They might possibly adj
minister the government as well as Mr.. Fillmore
has done. But then neither Of them has been
tried. He has been tried in the elevated position

last evening, and the engines went to extinguish
it. On their return at about 81 o'clock, four
companies, comprising 300 or 400 persons, came
in conjunction between It'll and 9th streets on the
Avenue and entered into fight, which lasted
nearly half an hour. Six persons were arrested
by the Mayor, Captain Goddard, officer Wollard,
and some of the Auxiliary Guard They were
all bound over to appear at the Criminal Court.

On learning the particulars respecting the dis
covery of the body of man in Montgomery
county, as heretofore published, the editor Of
this paper despatched message to certain friends
of Mr. saxton in New York, asking if he was
missing. we to-day learn in reply that he has
been missing for some weeks, that he was for.
merly of the firm of Clark s. Saxton, and sue.
ceeded that firm in business.
We may here remark, that all the facts in the
case lead very clearly to the conclusion that Mr.
Saxton, after using all possible precautions to
destroy every mark that would lead to tho identi-
flying of his person, put end to his life by dis
charging the contents of pistol into the side OF
his head.
Everything that regard for propriety and hui
mainly could suggest was attended to under the
instructions Of J.tH. Bradley, esq, upon whose
lands the remains of MIR. Saxton were found,
and particular statement of facts will be COM
muncated to his friends.

An Exciting Runaway.

The large barouche-oarriage of Elwood Fisher,
esq.,, editor of tho Southern Press, was standing
in front of the National Hotel at IA o'clock this
afternoon, when fre-engine was passing Two
ladies of Mr.. Fishers family had just taken their
seats, or were just about to step out, the door
being open and the driver on the sidewalk with
the rens in bis hands; but the animals took
fright and bounded forward-the driver was
thrown down, and lost his hold; and, in mo-
ment more both ladies had leaped out and were
PROSTATE upon the ground. We rejoice, how
ever, to state that no serious personal injury was
sustained by either of them, or by the driver.
The excited animals dashed on up the Avenue,
at furious speed, circumscribed the Presidents
House and the Departments, and returned down
the Avenue again as far as 7th street, into which
they turned, and where they were arrested
Their race was nearly two miles. One of the
horses was somewhat cut, and the vehicle good
deal worsted.

Law and Order-Againi

We have been surprised and gratifed at the
unanimity with which our fellow-citizens, and
many of the transient residents of Washington,
approve our appeals to the ministers Of the law to
sustain its dignity and integrity in this District
We deem it proper to withhold several communi-
cations on the subject, lest menacing appear
ance might be given to the public demands. Let
us await the action of all parties. If justice
shall not be administered, we may then in stem
| torian tones demand the reason why.
In the mean time it may be well to know what
folks abroad are thinking Of us.
The Pennsylvania of Saturday last says;
1.-THE floor of Congress was yesterday the
scene Of another personal conflict between two
members. When will these humiliating specta-
Giles have an end?"
The New York "Sun" says:
"The country has again been disgraced by the
violence and backguardism of two of its repre-
sentatiyes 1t is high time that an example was
made which would act as check upon the re-
currence of such scene as took place yesterday
in the House of Representatives In Washington.
The House may forgive Messrs. Brown and Will
cox, but the country cannot until the memory of
the shame has died away"
The Philadelphia Bulletin" appearing to
have little confidence in the fidelity Of our judges
and juries, says:
"a despatch from Washington states that the
difficulty between Messrs. Brown and Wilcox,
of Mississippi, has been amicably adjusted. The
House of Representatives, too, which has been
disgraced by this display Of bullyism on its floor,
seems to take it very kindly, and on receiving
the whining apologies of the combatants, is dis
posed to pass it over as a very natural, if not
commendable, display of prowess. There seems TO
be no remedy for these brutal exhibitions in the Ma
tionaI Legislature; but We hope the constituencies
Of the fighting members will keep them at home
hereafter, SO that the national name may not be
disgrdced by further offences of the same kind
from the same parties"
The Alexandria Telegraph" speaks of the
scene of Friday last as Zone of the most dis
graceful outrages that has ever occurred on the
floor of the House."
