Brooks and Burlingams.
Stripped Of accidents the case between Mr..
Brooks and Mr.. Burlingame is this Mr..
Burlingame, in his pla ce in the House, spoke
of Mr.. Brooks assault on Mr.. Sumner ac-
cording to its true character-as n Cain-like,
unmanly act, and said he believed that e the
member hi mself, if he has left n shark of the
cbiyalry and paIlantry attribpted to Lim-be
himself must loathe and scorn tLe action -
MFR. Brooks took execution. and sought IA
fasten a personaI ouarroI an Mr. BrrIin,ana
for his remarks. In his imnpiont sroorb f.,
the House. after the vote an tba o,,,s,;,n ,f
his expulsion. he referred to Mr.. Burlinrame
in the following insulting h,upua,c.

Mr.. Brooks furthermore stays in the Dis
trict, and is arrested and put under bonds to
keei the peace. Mr.. Burlinglme of course
returns to Washington to attend to his duties,
and is in like manner arrested and bound over
to keep the pcace-and so the matter ends
we suppose.

Judging from the conclusion Of Mr.. Burlin-
games account of the matter, we hardly
think he will be favored in that way.
We were clad that Mr. Bnlin,wc sroL.
of MIR. Brooks conduct in the direct and tor.
chile wav he did but sorry :, ba,o him .a-
nit that Mr. Brooks, or any one else. might
call him to account ior il. To admit that nj
all, was so far giving up the ri,ht of free M.
Bqte-the great ri,ht which Brooks Iim-aI,
had SO grossly outraged. Mr.. Burlinoame
does not seem to have regarded the suhiect il,
that light however. We believe he q,
Southerner by birth. and though. since his
youth, idcntifcd with a Northern commuri-
tv. his earlier associations may have inG,.
enced his Judgment, and heIrcd him Il, thc
conclusion that lie must peril his own life to
save his constituents from rcrroach. So far
