reason for having it posted on Monday night.
Mr.. KEY then read the following placard--be
ing copy of the one posted up and distributed or
Monday night by Mr.. Fuller:
"NorIcE.-James W. Schaun,berg, a Co,oard
Liar, and Ssoindlsr.-m my efforts to collect q
berg, have fully realized the fact that have
had to deal with mean and unprincipled man
q liar, s,cindIer, cosoard, and poltroon! To handy
epithets with this man is not to my taste. j in
ficted personal chastisement upon him, under
which he crouched like serve cur, only to re-en-
act the braggart when he escaped from my blows
| would speak of him in terms that ,self-respect
suggests, could such language describe him, but
it will not. He is, though strutting in places
frequented by gentlemen, too contemplate to ad-
init Of the application to him of the language
would, were it possible, with pleasure address,
use in relation to him. He is now in this city for
the purpose of prosecuting what he terms "a
claim for reinstatement in the dragon corps of
the army;' but it cannot be that that honorable
corps will ever again be disgraced by the associa
ton of such despicable and dastardly creature.
To make manifest the Justice of these remarks,
submit to the public the following allegations,
which shall, in short time, sustain by album
cant proof, in a small pamphlet, viz:
q s'lst He is coward, because he dared not re-
sent a fogging given him by Lieut. NJ, Of the
navy, at the National Hotel.
sgd. He is a liar, because he stated in a note to
the edtoroft the Philadelphia Ledger that he had had
sno difficulty with Mr.. Fuller at the National Ho-
tel, and which was duly published in that paper.
And further, during the time he was suffering UNI
der my castigation, he promised to pay me bill
for board, and afterwards denied it.
"3d He is swindler, because upon false re-
presentations he succeeded in obtaining bed and
board, wines, liquors, and cigars, from my father
and myself, CA Fuller s. Co.. at the City Hotel
and Irving Hotel, to very large amount, know
ing that he never meant to pay for the same.
7'And, finally, James w. Schaumberg is ly-
ing braggart, backbiting knave, who, after
sweating under my castigation for twelve long
months, endeavored to disparage me by vile,
odious, cowardly publication.
81 take occasion to make this publication in adj
vance of the pamphlet, because | desire to put
hote-keepers, boarding house keepers, and trades
men on their guard against this Jeremy Diddler.
Whether he is accustomed to an alias or not / am
unable to say, but think it proper to give brief
description of him. He is about six feet high-a
form well made up by the tailors, and always
very fancfully dressed, in style between the Beau
Brumme and the b hoy; large savage gray whis-
kers; large burn on his face, caused by falling
into pot of boiling taffy when child; small
gray eyes deeply set in his head-so small and
insignificant, indeed, that they are hardly to be
seen; hat set on his head "a la Moses; small cane
in his hand--the scare-crow of all the little boys
he happens to meet; and so he swaggers up and
down the avenue, the ridicule of men and the dis
gust of women.

Mr. KEY also read the following letter, which
accompanied the proof-sheet of the placard sent
to Schaumberg:
you will find placard, but before issuing it am
disposed to give you an opportunity to pay your
bill. will delay the publication until tomorrow
morning. In the meantime, can be found be-
tween nine and three o'clock at the Census Office,
on 9Th street, and from four to six O clock at my
house, near the Observatory.
ssYou may be sure that this matter cannot rest
as at present. / am determined upon your entire
disgrace, and your discontinue in the Senate UNI
less YOU do pay me. This is but proofsheet
and, after few corrections, will be placarded
throughout the city, posted at every corner, and
every hotel, boarding-h house, store, and every
hackman will be well supplied with them Mem
on their tables Besides, this is a mere prelimi-
nary to what intend to do during. the next two
weeks, unless you pay my just and equitable de-
mand; if you do, the matter will drop.

Chiffon, Gardiner, and Love, who requested me
to give them n statement, saying it would be of
great service to them. had been treated so by
Schaumberg that 1 felt no hesitation in giving it
to them. This is an incorrect copy OF that state
ment.
Mr.. KEY proposed to read it to the jury.
Mr.. Chiffon said that it formed part of mo
mortal to Congress by other parties, and, if any
were read, the whole paper should be read.
Messrs. KEY and BAXTER replied.
The CouRr said the letter might be read with
out the other papers.
Mr.. KEY then read the following:
WASHINGTON, D. c., February 20, 1852
GENTLEMEN: By your request, send you the
following facts in reference to the conduct of Mr..
James w. Schaumberg, viz: Mr.. S. boarded some
time at my house, for which he was largely in
debted to me- Iwrote several times to Mr.. S. while
he was in Philadelphia, in the year l849, asking
settlement, but could get no answer to my let
tiers, except on one occasion, when was answer
ed very insultingly. Mr.. s. came to this city last
summer, when again wrote him polite note
asking settlement. His answer to this was so
insulting that determined to have personal in
toruio,r / aornhf and met him in the hall of the
