WASHINGTON, Feb %.
Afray betoaen Postmaster Hubbard and Hon.
G. Braggs.-A recent difficulty had taken place
between Gen. Hubbard, the postmaster, and Hon.
G. Briggs. The parties met to-day in a dark
passage in the library; when Hubbard grasped
Briggs hand and said, GLOW are you Briggs:''-
Briggs shook hands but in. moment discovered
his mistake, and following Hubbard met him in
the ante-room leading from the House to the ro-
tunda, and then said to him, Il have just shaken
hands with you, and i wish to retract that act OF
politeness; you have insulted me, and have pub
licly called you no gentleman
Hubbard answered, "just as you please; you are
b. meath my notice. Briggs then slapped him in
the face, at the same time saying, "wll you make
no resistance!' Hubbard offered none, and Briggs
continued, II have said you are not an honorable
man in public, Ihave now slapped your face, don't
you resent it!'' Hubbard answered, strike away,
Briggs, shall not strike back for you are beneath
my contempt" Then Briggs laid on, on both
sides of the face, when the bystanders interfered
and parted the honorable gentlemen before any
serious injury was effected
Mr.. Hubbard intends to have recourse to the
strong arm of the law to redress his grievance

More Galpi,inisn,.

The Washington Union of the 18th ult., ha.
the following article which will not surprise the
country the least, as it has been the settled poll
cy of the expiring administration to fleece the
S. Treasury much as possble:s zezg
, The Developments recently made of the frauds
connected with the Capitolextension have created
much sensation. The witnesses make no secret
of the purpor of the evidence they have given
before the committee of investigation. We are
therefore informed of the manner in which the
embezzelment has been carried on; but the re-
port of the committee, and the evidence itsef,wll
be necessary to enable us to estimate the extent
to which the public has been plundered From
the information which has reached us, one half
of the appropriation has been sto1en and the work
executed for the other half is in many respects de-
fcent in the manner of construction and the quail
I ity of the materials used. ~
/ The recklessness with which these frauds have
been committed is matter of astonishment; and
those engaged in them must have felt assured
that the administration was utterly imbecile, per-
fectiy Indifferent, or thoroughly corrupt. The
witnesses testify to various forms of embezzel-
ment--forms as various as the operations to be
performed in constructing such an immense edi-
fee as the Capitol enlargement, The grossest
improperly in giving out contracts, and wrong
measurement in paying for work have been testi
fed to. The use of inferior materials, conceal
ment of deGects in the work; the employment of
labor paid for by the government in aid of con
tractors, and of mechanics and materials for pri-
vate purposes, making considerable aggregate
of plunder are brought to light. The testimony
states that laborers were employed at high wages,
with the understanding that they should pay over
large portion--in some instances seventy-fve
cents, and in others one dollar a day-from wa
ges Of two dollars and quarter; and, in addition,
that certificates given for longer periods than
the laborers had been in employment on which
pay was drawn. .-s.-.ezgs .s-
This system of frauds, carried on in the face of
the government, was accompanied by efforts to
raise mobs to insult senators and members of
Congress who opposed the five millions appropria-
ton of last session. Attempts were made to in
duce the laborers to burn in efigy Senators Bor
land and Walker, and Mr. McNair of the House
of Representatives, because of their opposition
that appropriation. Taking all the features of
this system of frauds into constellation, it is un-
paralleled in our history. But better days are at
hand. -Four years of experiment have fully salts
fed the people of the value of whig protestatons
of purity, virtue, and patriotism; and in few
days an administration will be installed which
will expose the corrupt practices of that plumber
ing crew which whig dynasty has quartered on
he public treasury. exs--. --ss-
