A CF1vA1t1C SCGGEsTIoN. The South, the
leading organ of the Virginia fireeaters, makes
most ruefuI mouths in reciting the downfall of
itsprotege, Mr. Keitt Interference, however,
to the statement that the South Carolinian was
eled by the fist of his antagonist, it advances
this conSoatory reflection
This, however is nothing to the purpose
A gentleman NAV be knocked down by huge
Loor like Grow without mourning any dis
grace"
The fact that keitt and Grow are about Of
size, and that the Pennsylvania is slender
and physically feeble, renders the South's
apology more ludicrous than its author intend
ed The hotspurs of chivalry are drawing it
rather mild
On this subject we commend to them the
subOined comments OF the Providence .Jour-
aI:
Mr. Keitt seriously regrets the little af-
fair at the night session. We have no doubt
Of The depth of sincerity Of his great re-
gret are exactly proportionate to the strength
Of Mr. Grows arm and every friend of de
cpncv and order, every foe of insolence and
blackguardiSm, will be sorry that the sturdy
PennSylvanian had not given him much greater
cause for regret and reflection. II any body
struck Mr. keitt he was not aware of it So
he said in his personal explanation yesterday.
1t is rather the opinion Of those who looked
on that somebody did strike him; but if he
has any doubt on the subject, he should grab
Mr. Grow by the throat again and the latter
will remove all possible doubt on the subject"

Hes@ 1t is said that Gov Denver, of Kan
'as has besought the President to recall him,
and to rcinstate him in his former position as
Commissioner of Indian fairs The Lecomp-
ton business is repugnant to his feelings, and,
Ike all all his predecessors, he is anxious to
escape the odious responsibility imposed upon
lin by the administration.
