The Carolina Times contains an account OF tue
meeting of the citizens of Rchland Di'trct-repre-
sented in Congress BY the assassin Brooks-neid IN
the CITY Hall of Columbia, the capital OF South
Carolina The following resolutions, unanimously
odopted serve to show that Brooks played the
cowardly ruffian, not merely az an individual, but
in bis Representative character also:
"Rcsolrcd That we cordially indorse the conduct Of
the Hon. T. s. Brooks Of the House OF Representa-
tves of the United Stat,s in inictiug upon senator
Simmer of Massachusetts, the punishment he SO rciy
g mel ty his libe'ous attack upon the stare oi
South Caro- ina aud our faithful Senator, and upon the
entire South.
Rcsolred, Thstth at ack upon our absent senator
YVES as false as it was cOwardly, aud was gand@!y
met by his kiLsmap, bis counrynan, and his frlend III
tie Senate Chamber which the Abotonist had desc
catod by his foul attack. -.
"Rcs0lred, That in the crisis which Is upon u.s. II s
exreced of every man to do his duty, and especaHy
tb6.e TO whom the public interests are conhded, ana
That orr gallant courtryman has shown noble anu
iust apprecia ion of that solemn duty.
Thee resolutions were offered by w. <. De
saussure. lately, if we mistake nor, himself for
short period a Senator of the United States Ihey
we1e supported by the mover and by Of. John D.
Preston. a State Senator who assured the meeting
that Governor Adams Of South Carolina not only
countt nanced but approved the compliment intend
ed to be paid to the assassin Brooks. Several
other persons also spoke in their favor.
1t may b. recollected by our readers that fe"
weeks since we gave an account o! the trouble INTO
which DR.. IabOrde one of the Professors OF the
South Carolina College at Columbia, had got hiIn'
self, by undertaking to apologize out OF friendship
for DR.. Leber for an article contained IN 1he En-
erclopedia americana, not altogether complimentary
to Slavery This was a fine opportunity for the
Professor to put in q conclusive supplement to the
profuse apologies which be hid already made, 80
ne tock the opportunity while the committee were
ont 10 address the crowd at length, amid cnthu-
siastie cheers, giving an account OF the affair In
4" the most graphic style" The idea OF the club
lately suspended oyer bis own head no doubt added
q certain vivacity to the Professors rhetoric.
1t Will be seen from the resolutions that the peo-
ple Of Richand have rather peculiar ideas OF gall
lsn,ry. The Times, from which we copy the above
account, complained Loudly in recent issue,
that but one other of the South Carolina delegation
WAS present when Brooks attacked Mr.. Sumner.
Two rufIians 10 set by surprise upon an uoarmsd
man, was too great risk. Where, asks The Times
were Col Boyce and Gen. Mcqueen Oh that occa'
sion For f UT generals and colonels armed to ths
teeth t. set by surprise upon an uDarmed man Is
what South CarOlnsns cal gaaDtry. Even The
Times however is astonshed at tie naffabe meau-
ness and malice of The Boston Courier in apoligizDg
for the assault.

1t is high tine that the seat of Government were
removed from Washington. There does not appear
10 be, on the part either OF the cszens or the au
horites of the District, the slightest effort or intsn
tion to enforce the laws as against slaveholdiog
blsckguards Assaults are committed with impu-
nity and even in the case Of an attempt to murder
Senator in his seat the culprit is dis missed on
giving straw bail in the SUN Of five hundred do.
lars. Another blackguard shoots waiter at
breakfast table, and the cbefcriminal Judge OF the
District gives an opinion that it can't be murder
and was probably jqstifabe homicide, and the
prosecuting attorney walks out of the court-house
arm in ann with the murderer. An assassin ofthe
name of Brooks attempts to murder one Of the
Senators of Massachusetts,, and when the other
Senator expresses, in bis place, bis opinion of tho
character of the act, be sends him challenge. To
send challenge ia the District of Columbia is
high crime, and to challenge Senator is breach
of privilege. If there were any law or law officers
in the District, Brooks would be indicted.

The Democratic National Convention was pre-
liminariIy organized at Cincinnati yesterday, and
viii be permanently organized to-day by the choice
Of John L. Ward of Georgia as President An
extreme Pro. Slavery platform will beproPosed and
adopted with great unanimity. The Benton dele
CATION from Missouri was shut out OF the COnven-
ton by the Committee of Arrangements, bu5 went
in on their muscle, knocking down the dOorkeeper
at the entrance. They had their choice between
staying out and going in to be kicked out and chose
the latter. Tie Hard and Soft difficulty from this
State had not been adjusted last night, but will
somehow be disposed of to-day. 1t will probably
be compromised
Our special correspondent teegraphs that Bu-
chanan is not so strong in the Convention as among
the outsiders, and that the Dougasites think they
have one hundred and y-four delegates pledged
against him. The probability, we think, tavors
long and bitter contest ending in the selection OF
a new candidate.

circumstances Of the case prove on the part of the

attempt to cover up this intention by alleging that
he did not intend to "kul, 4" but to "puuish" that
is shift quite on par with the cowardice OF the
whole transaction. Instead, therefore, of leaving
the murderous intention in doubt, the Committee
might well have stated it as highly probable. if not
indeed, as judicially certain
With respect to Edmurdson and Kett. the con-
idants if not the accOmplces of Brooks, especially
the latter, the report is think, altogether too
lenent Keitt himself it will be observed afraid
that cross-examinaton would expose the false
hood of the prevaricatiDg statement which he made
in the House, did not present himself for cxamina-
tioD, but it was abundanty proved by several wit
nesses that be stepped forward hOurishiug ha stick
to prevent any interference with Brooks, thereby
making himfelfa party to the assault. Disapproba-
ton is pretty tame word to apply to conduct ke
this.
The most important witness with respect to
Keittwas not examnedby the Committee. We refer
to DR.. Bunting of Montreal, whose account of the
occurrence, which he witnessed from the gallery
Immediately over the heads of the parties, as given
in the Boston newspapers, fully duplicates Kett as
present, aiding and abettng. But even the evi.
dence given before the Committee proves that he
certainly, if Lot Edmundson also, ought to be ex-
PEELED as aiding and abetting.
With respect to the testimony of Toombs he
labOrs hard to make out that Nr. Sumner, during
all the time that the blows continued was in pos
ture Of resistance, and that when he fell Brooks
voluntarily ceased from striking. But if Mr. Fos-
ter, Mr.. Murray Mr.. Morgan and other witnesses
are to be believed, this is all pure invention on
the part of Toombp, got up to lessen in some slight
degree the cOwardly enOrmity of that conduct OF
which, as be confessed on the floor Of the Senate
he at the moment, with the bleeding Senator before
him, pronounced his approvsl-or that Toomb' has
double temptation to venture upon llt'le
pcIury-he himself being interested in getting up
some palliation Of BroOkss brutal cOwardce
hardly less than Brooks himself. Indeed, it is not
only Brooks ard TOombs who have an interest in
getting up story of this sors. That interest is
shared, ALSO by half dozen Senator's, more or le's,
who were present at the outrage, and who, by neg
ectiDg to interfere, showed by their acts if not oy
their words, that Brooks acted with their approval
and consent.
Apart from this effort of To,mbs's, the testimony
which accompanies The report, while it does not
furnish one single circumstance Of paaton, pre-
sents the act as it has already fully impressed itself
On the public mind of the North, as being at once
TIE most brutal, barbarOus and shocking exhibition
of the spirit of slayeholdng, as cowardly as it is
regardless of all laws human and divine, which the
country has ever witnessed.

SNAKE CoMBAT.-Combats between the
rattle and black snake are certain IL they
meet, and the black snake is, with rare ex-
ceptions, the cOnqueror Upon seeing each
other, these animals instantly assume their
respective attitudes Of defiance, and display
the great difference in their organization.
The rattlesnake coils itself up, ready for at
tack or defence the black snake being a con-
strictOr, moves about from side TO side, and is
in constant activity-naturally exciting each
others passions. The rattesnake finally set
ties down into glowing exhibition of ami
mostly, it's fangs exposed, its rattles in constant
agitation The black snake seemingly con-
sciOus that the moment of strife has come
now commences eircling round its enemy, alb
sOlutely moving so swiftly that it seems but a
gleam of dull light; the rsttlesnake attempts
to follow the movement, but soon becomes
confused, and drops its head in despair, then
il is that the black snake darts upon the back
OF its deadly foe, seizes il betYeen its teeth,
and springing upwards envelopes the rattle
snake in its folds. The struggle, though not
long, is painful; the cOmbatants roll over in
the dust, and get entangled in the bushes
but every moment the black snake is tighten
ing its hold, until the rattle snake gssps for
breath, becomes helpless and dies. For awhile
the black snake still retains its grasp; you
can perceive its muscles working with energy;
but finally il cautiously uncoils ITSELF and
quietly betakes TO the water, where recover
ing its energy, it dashes about a moment, as
if in exultatiOn, and disappears from the
scene
