CEfnpbells Bamboo VI. Rrools' Gutts Percha

The Hon. L d. Campbell, the great brag-
gadocio WHO wished he had been principal"
instead Of "secondv in the Burliogsme Sffair,
has oil length iurned up principal in second
and unabridged, though moi expurgated edi-
lion OF Brooks on SumneL. That he, the hon.
orsble Aforesaid, Should have felt chsgrined
at the manly stand taken by The Irish agnind
him. in quietly but in body, voting foI Val
laniiiRlam, was perfectly natural; Lut we
could not believe that he would strike an in.
offe naive lrlshman, a1man ofyears who stool
with his hsnls in his pockets all the while,
blow after blow with bamboo stick ("club,"
"bludgeon" or gutla percha cord wood) and
especially under The following circumstances:
Mr.. Campbell came out from the penl up and
anxious solitude Of his house on Tuesday last,
al ha Il. past Eve O'Clock, P. NJ, and saunteIed
UP 10 The polls in The 2nd ward. Old Jimmy
Steward was standing by, undergoing close
examination from brother Hibefnian, the
object of which was TO discover how immy
voted for Congressman. Jimmy had been u
supporter Of Campbell up 10 this election, bu.
how be exercised the privilege OF o citizen he
seemed determined 10 lock up within his own
memory; wheTeupon the honorable Il. d.
Campbell aforesaid, fancyiDg, We suppose,
that in himself is embodied the tao; OF the
world, remarked al believe Jimmy is perfect
gentleman" eyeing him the while steadfastly
and expectantly Jimmy replied, "Well, Mr.
Campbell, didTl vote for you t.iis time."
CAMPBELL-"Yuu don't know Jimm7, who
are your friends" Jimmy-"Well, Mr.
Campbell, am no, ,bekolden 10 yiz a Bit
never got FIVE cent piece from yiz, but
worked for IL" CampbeIl-"Jimmy, did you
vote for Eollandigham 2" Jiamy-"Yes,
did that" CampOell-"Then you are div
ty dog" Jimmy stood with his hands sth
pocketei, and made no sure joigder. Blu
the pleading was not at an end. Mr.. Camp
bell repeated "dirly deg" twice or thrice
The ;hird time curl was added, and a stfes
imposed, 10 vii: "Jimmy, you are dir-r TT
10 6, SIR" well, Mr.. Campbell, thinl
you the same, sir" said Jimmy, and the chiv
alric, the high minded, the honorable Congress
, man made at Jimmy Stewart with bambo'
! stick. Five or six blows were couned-th,
, stick tore 10 splinters, when Mr.. Campbell re
tired from the field OF carnage, leaving Jimm
where he found him, as gentle as q lamb, an
' looking for oil he world, more astonished tha
hurt. Mr.. Campbell immedia;et put for home
j hearing along the line Kisses and boots, an
no voice exclaiming, "well Gone thou goo
and faithful tpublic) servant" Once hom
n he GU: up the handsome antic OF shutting al
the Vi.dow shutters OF his domicil, and 500
emerged with big Goa! and rs arms pier in
The cavernous fecesses IN their sides, as muc
. as TO say, "Ive cot pistol" Major Milliki
coaxed him back home.
;. We take it that it must have been Oversight
;. TO act The part "rlghi in front Of his house.
+. How lucky for ! reckinridge that Campbe
IS was not at home, when he came all The wa
}. from Kentucky 10 speak in his absence, an
"rlght in front Of his house," Blood au
IL thunder, how lucky.
