More Congressional Quarreling-The Van
Wyck and Hindman Difficulty.

Wyck ana Hindman Dtfhcuity.
The New York HeraIds Washington cor
respondent gives the following account of
the difficulty which occurred ON Saturday
between Messrs Van Wyck, of New York,
and Hindman, of Arkansas: ..
"There was almost street collision this
forenoon about ten o'clock, between two
Congressman, Mr.. Van Wyck, of New York,
and Mr.. Hindman, Of Arkansas, in front of
the National Hotel. There are various in
terpretations of the affair afioat, but the fol-
lowing | obtained from an eye witness: Mr..
Van Wyck was standing upon the front steps
of the hotel, with Mr. Stuart, of New York,
and Mr.. Lovejoy, of Illinois. Mr.. Hindman
alighted from a carriage, and was passing
near the three gentlemen named above to
enter the hotel, when Mr.. Van Wick saluted
him with bow, and the words How are you,
Mr.. Hindman.'
"The latter resented the salutation with n
movement of the hand toward Mr.. Van
Wyck, which Mr.. Stuart interpreted as an
intended blow, but Mr.. Hindman did not
reach Mr.. Van Wyck. Mr.. Stuart stepped
between and mildly demonstrated with Mr..
Hindman, and he desisted-remarking to
Mr.. Stuart that Mr.. Van Wyck had made a
speech in the House of Representatives in
sulting to every Southern gentleman, and he
(Mr Hindman) could not permit Mr.. Van
Wyck to speak to him. Mr.. Van Wyck, not
having been struck, made no resistance to
Mr.. Hindman. After some little converse
tion among the friends Of the parties, grow
ing out of the affair, they separated. Out of
these facts have grown all sorts of rumors of
desperate collision, the exchange of blows
and exhibition of deadly weapons, nothing Of
which happened

The result of the election in Connecticut
pretty well illustrates the value Of special
party efforts. For month or two now, the
State has been the scene of one of those
artificial excitennents which politicians are SO
. desrous to raise, and TO whose efficacy they
attach so exaggerated an estimate. The
leaders Of the Democratic party had, for
some reason or other, made up their minds
that il was of exceeding Importance to
"carry" Connecticut, at the spring election;
and so to carry itthey resolntely sat them
" selves az work. Huge sums Of nioney-the
first thing a party machinist thinks Of
were drawn from the pockets of officers
present and prospective, to be expended in
subsidizing troops and providing munitions
The fash orators of The party were brought
from all parts of the Union to the scene of
operations, and set to haranguing, with a
disregard of sense and probability truly
heroic. The newspapers were fred up with
a double portion of venom and mendacity.
Bands Of music, and barrels Of, whisky, con-
gregated from all quarters to cnliven the
proceedings, and spirited meetings, grand
rallys, stunning professions, and stupendous
demonstrations, strobe into everyday life,
and usurped the place of common transac-
tons. ...rI.gr .rr .r.
ID What one party did the other initiated.
Issue was Joined upon every device and pro-
ceeding. Orator answered to orator, plot to
plot, countermne to ocountermine, falsehoodto
fAsehood, and demonstration to dcmonstra-
ton. The State was on FIRE with illuminations
and excitement. The people were almost con-
vinced that the politicians were in earnest.
1t was thought by some that great princi-
Piles were at stake, and few were convinced
that 'the welfare, il not the existence of our
common country" depended upon the result
of the election in Connecticut.
The election is over, and the result is what
in ell probability it would have been, had
things been permitted to go on in the old
way. If either party has lost ground by the
excitement, it is the Democratic; as when
things are quiet, that party usually gains
something through the supineness of the
other. According to the last accounts the
Democrats are beaten. Their journals will
of course, and according to immemorial Gus
tom, try to get some sorry consolation out Of
the fact that they have not been flogged quite
as badly as they were the last time, and so
forth and so forth, with calculations of cor
responding increases in the future; but this
amounts to nothing. The fact is that in the
light of the efforts made, the beat is as bad as
it was deserved.

Tho Annexation of savoy to France


Shall Savoy be annexed to France? Ought
Savoy to be annexed to France? Will Savoy
be annexed to France? Suppose that Savoy
is annexed to France-what then? Upon
these points, our Americo-European politi-
clans are in difficulty; and many and funny
are the conjectures in which they indulge
Will it usher in great events upon Europes
historic battle-felds2 Will it be signal for
Heaven knows what2 Will it initiate rev.
olutions or rhetoric-cannon or common
peace = battalions or balderdashf Who
knows2 Louis Napoleon, of course; for when
o man has once got a reputation for smart
ness, he is supposed to know every thing.
But then-the sly rogue-how close-mouthed
he is!
In this country, suppose such a question of
annexation were to arise, the party thought
to be the most interested would be the peo-
pie. But in this connection, among the jour-
nalists of the United States who thinks of
Savoyards? Nobody. OF what weight are
their opinions, the interests, their prefer
ences2 None whatever. Mons. le SAvoYARD
is to be transferred or not with as little re-
gard to his feelings as to those of the monkey
or the hurdy-gurdy, which constitute the in
gradients of his beatifed condition. Our
journalistic politicians forget all about the
sublime doctrine of the rights of the people,
when they begin to chatter in Italian. They
are all about settling the balance of power in
Europe-weighing and determining the des-
tiny Of nations. What less than complca-
tions unimagined and generations unborn
are worthy of their attention? .|
There is one consolation. Probably the
Sayoyards are quite as Indifferent upon the
subject as our continent-settling cotempora-
ries 1t is doubtful whether, if Savoy were
annexed to France, three-fourths of them
would find it out, or if they did, would care a
farthing upon the subject. They have prob
ably less feeling about it than the old lady in
Southern Michigan, who was opposed to
being sent off to Ohio on account of the fever
and ague, which she had heard prevailed in
the latter State. In truth the masses OF
Savoy are not political. They know govern
ment only through the rapacity of the tax
gatherer, the tyranny of the petty official and
the devastations of an army. Who, in par
ticular, robs them, maltreats them, or mur-
ders them, are matters in which-not being
politiciAns-they feel little concern
Between potentates the question is, Which
among several who have no title shall possess
this element Of weakness? And if it were
20 fixed that
They who pick the Quarrels
Were the only ones 10 hght,"
it would be Of little consequence how COM
Pletsly they used up themselves and each
other in the dispute. But the honor of war
is in its cruelties to third parties. The peas
ant is man. As much as prince he bears
Gods image. He has no native fondness for
being stripped, robbed or murdered. The
soldier who fights by contract has no right to
complain if he succumbS under one Of the
necessary casualties of his condition; but the
man ofpeace who falls is a spectacle for gods

PROBABLE ASSASSINATION IN KENTUCKY
The other night while James L. Stitt, deputy
postmaster, in Carlisle, was sweeping out his
office, he was called to the door by young
man named Ricketts,, a medical student who
drew from his pocket pistol which he fired
at Mr.. Stitt, the ball entering just beneath his
nose, and dangerously, if not fatally iniuring
him. The cause of this rash attempt on Mr..
Stitts life was some fancied insult, which
did not warrant any such procedure. The

There Is no royal road to learning; bot

greatly facilitate his progress. Study this
book carefully, and yon can acquire near half

upon the imperfect acquisition of one. Sadly,
as well as wisely, did Milton write, We do
amiss 10 spend seven or eight years in merely
scraping together as much Latin and Greek
as might be learned easily and delightfully."-
in one year. John Locke. Sydney Smith,
and other great scholars, bear like testimony.
'Monteith's book, here before us, processes
to make any one Of reasonable capacity and
suitable industry, read, write, and speak five
