- The late fight in the House OF
Representatives between Mr.. kcit OF
South Carolina and Mr.. Grow of Penn
sylyania, must have been worth seeing,
disgracelul as it was. Here's deScrip-
ton we take from an exchange
"'There is passage or aisle between
the seats, leading from the Northeast
corner Of the Hall to the speakers chair,
making a radius of the circle of mem
bcrs' desks. Mr.. Grow was quietly walk
ing down this aisle, when Mr.. keitt, of
South Carolina, and Mr. Reuben Davis,
Of Mississippi, approached him. Mr..
Quilman had risen, and Mr.. Grow had
objected to his speaking.
Said Mr.. keitt, "if You want to OBJ
ject, You had better go to your own side
If the House,
"lhis is free land" said Mr.. Grow,
and every man has right to go where
he pleases.'
What do you mean by such an an
svcr as that r. said Mr. Kcitt
" | mean just what | said,' replied
Mr.. Grow and repeated the remark.
Mr.. kcitt then seized him by the col
lar, eXclaiming, o" will let you know
that you are a ID Black Republican
puppy
Mr. Grow thrust his hand aside with
violence, saying: " shall occupy such
a place as | please, and no niger driver
shall crack his whip over me-"
Again Mr.. keitt seized him by The
throat, and was again driven Off by Mr..
Grow, and on the attempt being repeated,
Mr. Grow delivered Il weIl-aimed blow
and Knocked Mr. Keiit down.
There was a rush of members for the
opposite side Of the Hall, and from all
Mr.. BarkSdale, Of Mississippi,
rushed in to separate the combatants.-
Mr.. WaShbume, OF Illinois, who has a
front seat on the Republican side, think
ny that he was going to help keiit, hur-
led into the melee and knocked Mr..
wiz off.
ReinforcementS arrived from all quar-
eFs, and for couple Of minutes there WAS
/ furious contest, but fortunately no one
vas hurt and by the aid Of the Sergeant
farms, the principal combatants We're
parted and order was restored.
Speaker Orr, who is a colleague and
i.iend Of keiit, was pale as a sheet, but
and collected in manner. The
moment the combatants were separated
here was q quiet that was startling in its
fleet. The Speaker directed the roll to

of our countrywomen. Thus any meth
