A Legislative Fight.

A correspondent of one of the Baltimore
evening papers gives us the following &C.
count of scene that occurred in the Mary
land House Of Delegates on Friday evening
Gath ultimo:
1t is our painful duty to relate the circum-
stances Of personal recontre between two
| members of the House of Delegates The al
fair occurred Just Immediately after the ad-
journment Of the House from its second SEES
sion. It was about o'clock, and the mem
bers were standing about the hall in groupes
The lobby members being admissible, were
explaining the merits of the different bills to
| which they were attached, and loud talking
aud boisterous laughing was being INDUCED
in, when cry arose that some one had faint
ed, then that there was fight, and we are
sorry to say the last rumor was too true
The facts of the case may be summed up in
few words, as follows: During the session
Mr.. Freaner, of Washington county, offered
an order calling on the Judge Stump COM
mittee to report upon his case On Monday
next The order was adopted by the House.
Several gentlemen had conversation with Mr.
Gordon of Allegany, about the matter, and
was led to believe himself aggrievod by tEe
Offering of the order. He, in consequence.
walked around to the desk occupied by Mr
Fresner, and approaching that gentleman re-
marked, "Sir, your action in offering that Or
der was very discourteous," &C., &.
Mr.. Freaner replied. "Sir your language is
very unsenteel."
Mr. Gordon replied, "Sir. you are black,
guard"
Mr.. Freaner answered, you are & liar
Mr.. Gordon raised his hands and struck at
Mr.. Freaner, the blow just grazing his face
Mr. Freaner jumped a pace back, and adj
vancing again struck Mr.. Gordon in the face
and following up with another blow, which,
however, did not take affect, as Mr.. Gordon,
after receiving the first blow in the excitement
fell over one Of the large chairs, aud in the
fall, struck the left side OF his face against the
edge OF the corner desk, cutting very severe
cash in his face and chin.
Mr.. Maxwell, Of Cecil who was near at
hand; ran towards Mr.. Freaner, and Selling
him by both arms, succeeded in getting him
of into another portion Of the room.
The excitement at this time
was intense, and various individuals
Cooked very tightly" DR.. J. J. Graves. Of
your city, assisted Mr.. Gordon to rise, and
when he did So the appearance OF Mr.. Cor
don led those around to believe that he WAS
severely injured; the tlooi was flowing from
tho cut in the cheek ct the time, aid, as 4
matter of course, gave rise - y thousand and
one runners.
Mr. Freaner e't the Hall with some friends
and in short time Mr. Gordon retired to his
room with some friends.
At the time we write no adjustmen. Of the
difficulty had been arrived at.
Neither Of the gentleman appeared in their
seats in the session tonight.
1t is presumed that the affair viii bs ami
cably settled, and it is to be hoped that such |
will be the fact.
Mr.. Gordon is chairman Of the Comm. ttee
on Judiciary, and Mr.. Freaner il second on
the list.

A Democratic EPul.

Ever since the fall election, bitter feud has
existed in the ranks Of the sham democracy oil
this city growing out i; is said, of uusairness al
the election held at the time above specified.
The first indication we had Of this runpuss
in the happy family. was pamphlet from
Mr.. NJ. Treiber one Of the defeated democrat
ic candidates for the Legislature. lie charged
in that pamphlet that his na;ne had been
scratched from the regular ticket, and the
name Of one Of the Opposition placed in
stead. because he was opposed to the nomi-
nation of Mr.. Walsh, as Commonwealth At
torney. and in iavor OF C. B. Thruston, Esq.
He also endeavored to make it appear, that
Dr.. Fitzpatrick. u leading democrat, was the
moving spirit in the scheme TO defeat him.
This was followed up by another pamphlet,
in German. said to be by DR.. Rhinehart,
which takes the same position and handles
the said DR.. without gloves. OF course, as
the winds Of strife were blowing, the fires had
to burn, and out comes the DR.. with severe
philippe against our friend Treiber and all Of
that ilk, to which Mr.. Treiber replies in a
mammoth address Of 20 pages, duo decimo,
and subscribed "to the Democracy Of Ale
gsny county" 10 which are some very bitter
things, and stumbling stones in the way Of
the Drs. fair democratic record. In this last
production of Mr.. Treiber. there are some very
queer things which the honest members Of
both parties should be looking after. There
is one thing, and only one at present, las We
do not design review OF the pamphlet, but
merely running account of the feud) to
which We would call attention. On page IS
it is said there was combination between the
WALSH clique, anG the Know Nothing par
~, to defeat Mr.. Keller, who was one of the
democratic nominees for the Shcritalty.-
This is something we presume we should new
er have heard but for this pamphlet, But it
is not true. We don't suppose Mr.. Treiber
meant TO say what he does. The opposition
party as such had nothing to do with 1t. We
admit that it is possible some of the members
Of the party might have been engaged in such
dirty work, but the party never eountenanced

yourself, and be sure to have the documents.
The committee Having returned, by their
chairman Mr. Schlsy, they presented pre-
amble and set of resolutions, such as we ex-
pected to hear, but for which we cannot
spare the room in our columns, else we would
gladly publish them. The report OF the
committee was unanimously adopted; those
who were present and opposed to them, act
ing with that propriety that should always
characterize gentlemen, remained silent. Mr..
Schley was then loudly called for and re-
sponded in speech, justifying the course OF
the meeting and denuncistory Of the vote Of
Mr.. Davis for the Hon. VIM. Pennington, as
Speaker of the House of Representatives,
The only thing to which we feel disposed to
take exception, was his reading Of the call
fer the Davis meeting. 1t would have been
more honorable, If the gentleman had read
the entire call, instead of garbled extract
which would have showed that that meeting
was only for such as approved the course Of
Mr.. Davis. After Mr.. Schlsy had concluded,
Mr.. Chas. 3. Thruston was called upon, and
made an excuse for not being prepared, but
went on very smoothly for while, in stile
that indicated the interest he felt in the sub
ject, and yet respectful to those who differed
from him. One remark we wish TO record,
as it may be of service hereafter. He said he
did not call all Black Republicans who diff
fered from him, but he did say, that so far
in his opinion, as they approved the vote of
Il. W. Davis, they gave aid and comfort to
the Black Republicans At 1.-THE conclusion Of
Mr. Thrus.on's remarks. motion was made
to adjourn, before putting the resolution,

the motion was adopted and the meeting dis

The overland mail from San Francisco, jim. ID,
with telegraphic advices of the l4th, arrived
this evening.
Milton S. Latham, on the 10th, the night af
ter his Inauguration as Governor, was nominal
ted in caucus for United States Senator, and
the day following was elected to that Office by
the Legislature.
The use of Latham's name took Weller's ad-
herents by surprise, and was quite unexpected
to the public at large.
His success is attributed to the determination
on the part of the Democracy to rid itself of the
dynasties which have hitherto governed the
politics of the State
There is a suspicion that before the winter
passes the election of Senator to succeed Mr..
Gwin will be brought on.
There are indications that Judge Baldwin
will be the Senator, and that Eugene Casserly
will be appointed Judge, in place of Baldwin,
, on the Supreme Bench, by Gov, Downey.
