whose immediate presence they are brought by
steam, telegraph, and the press, and who look
with unutterable wonder and disgust at such
scenes as have just been enacted by honorable
representatives with club and brickbat in the
streets of Washington. There is no other coun-
try in the civilized world where public men car
ry to halls of legislation or of council deadly
weapons, or where the attempt to convert ma
tional assembly into prize-fght arena would
not degrade those guilty of it to the level of ac-
knowledged DULLES and rowdies. 1t is in vain
that the American people loathe and abOminate
such brutality. The world looks at Washing
ton, and says Behold the representatives OF
American decency and civilization l-RichmOnd

CONGRESSIONAL PERsONALITIES.-The New
ork Herald has some satirical structures upon
the warllke demonstrations and bellicose cor
respondence with which, every winter, the mem
bers OF Congress enliven the dulness of parlia-
mentary routine, and initiate themselves with
the idea that the world is lost in admiration Of
their chivalry and prowess. 1t is about time
for this sort of thing to begin the present ses-
sion perhaps it may be said to be inaupurated
by the affair Of Messrs. Montgomery and Eng
llsh. Possibly, the public feel more interest in
the hstcuffs and attempts at duels than in the
debates of Congress. They are certainly more
enllvemng and suggestive than the debates.
and more suited than argument and common
sense to the taste and calibre of the combatants.
No one doubts that the public likes PERSONAL
dies, but 1t IS the same kind of like that the
public has for dog fight. Men who are will
ing to obtain notoriety by minstering in a
british way to the public amusement. can gath
er as large crowd as the dogs. At the same
tune, 1t IS questionable whether an appeal to
physical force can settle question of politics
1r OF honor; and it is worth remarking. thai
there are other spectators of the doings of Con.
gress who may not be as lenient to their short
comings as their own constituents. They are

SLAVERY rs. THE FINE ARTs.-The Slavery
proPagandists abhor the Fine Arts, as they have
done the genuine spirit of Christianity. The

lowing:
" Kansas ShWekerS in 4labamd.-Our atten-
ton has been called by citizens of this place 10
a recent article in the Columbus (Ga.) Sun. in
reference to the concerts now being given in the
cities and towns of the South by the Strakasch
Opera Troupe
" 1t Is stated by the Sun, that the leader and
principal dJftste of this company gave, during
the Kansas excitement in the North, one or
more benefits for the aid of the Free .SoiIers
~ hdaSds We are glad to see that our es-
teemed contemporary has been thus vigilant in
exposing the direct Abolition affinities Of men
who thus presume to demand patronage at the
hands OF the Southern people. We do not as
sert that the facts stated by the Sun are true.
bat We see no reason to doubt them; ana the
statements Of so reliable journal must be en-
titled to, and will doubtless receive, due credit.

OF our City Council, to offer reliable proofs OF
the erroneous nature of the article in the SIM
IL 1t DE erroneous which we have no reason TO
believe, the concert troupe has been uniustlv
treated NJ the hands Of our cOtemporarv, who
wall doubtless be eager to make due reparation.
II, however, the statement be true we think that
our esteemed and energetic city Government will
have good reason for refusing the confreres of
Gerrt Smith and Henry Ward Beecher perrais-
sion to give public exhibition in the capital
Of Alabama. And re do not believe that the
citizens OF Montgomery will be willing TO give
material aid and countenance to a man who has
seen hit to offer his purse to purchase means OF
