The Pistol Scene in Congress.


The Washington correspondent Of the Bull
letin gives the following account of the scene
which occurred in Congress on Jan. 18th:
Horace f. Clarke, of New York, who tho
Democrat, was elected by Republican votes,
is constantly endeavoring to carry water on
both shoulders. Though pledged to Sher-
man, it is well UNDERSTOOD, that he is secretly
pledged to vote for a Democrat foe Speaker
whenever his vote will q Houston, OF
Alabama, very imprudentI e eat out Of
the bag. by saying, 81 KNOW Mr.. Clarke
will vote for Democrat" This alarmed
poor Clarke, who rushed over to Houston,
and appealed to him to withdraw the stat -
ment He replied that he could not say pos
tively, but was 81 tisfied that Mr.. Clarke
would vote for a Democrat. This was yes
terday. To-day, Mr.. Haskin, of New York,
and the bodest, most frank and the tirmest
among the Anti-Lecomptontes, inquired OF
Mr.. Clark, in open House, whether he gave
his consent to a certain programme eoncOcted
for the election of Democrat as Speaker
Clarke. in a moment of irritation, replied that
it was none of MIR. Haskin's business, and
Immediately went over to the latter to apol-
ogise for his rudeness.
But Mr. Haskin did not relish private
apology fo- public insult, and rose to call
his colleague to order for his conduct and
language. A portion of the Democrats in
his neighborhood greeted him which cries OF
"Order. order" and the usual demonstrations
bv which a man is to be "chocked down" in
Congress. Barr, of New York, sort o.
rowdv politician of the Pewter Mug" stamp
took his position at Haskins side, and kept
bowling in his ear "Order, order" "sit down, ;
&c. Haskin kept his feet, however. The
Clerk at his desk hammered "like mad will
the gravel. and the Sergeant-at- Arms seizlne
his mace, Ia pole with a globe on its top OF
which is perched "spread eagle proceeded
to the scene of war. In the meantime Las
! kin unbuttoned his coat, when sudden Jerl
to one side caused revolver to drop iron
his vest pocket to the floor. This was sig
nal Cor general rush towards him from al
sides, which beggars description, in which
as usual Keitt Of South Carolina was con
spicuous.
When at last order was restored, Mr.. Has
kin explained that the pistol fell from hi
pocket accidentally. aud that he had eve
any intention of using it in the House. IL
had put the weapon in his pocket the nigh
before to protect himself when on his wa

: and it was for this reason that a portion

CAMPToNvILLE. Feb. al

OAMPToNVILLE, Feb. Sth.
EDITOR DEMoORAT;-This is Leap Year
and in accordance with old customs, we bash
full swains should enjoy an immunity from
the chase of the little winged god and the
ladies of Camptonyille, God bless 'em,
have determined that they will assert Their
prerogative, and for the remainder of this
year, at least, relieve us from the arduoua
task of beseiging their hearts and soliciting
their hands. by turning the tables upon us,
and by carrying our warm and youthful af-
feetions by storm.
Yes-the ladies Of this place gave party
last night, regular Leap Y ear affair, gotten
up and conducted exclusively under their
own control and management, and never did
witness or attend party which was so
decided and complete a success. 1t was held
at the United States Hotel. The dancing.
which was kept up until the grey dawn of
morning appeared, was in large room ad-
joining, and formerly occupied as a lodge
room. 1t comfortably accommodated as
many as twenty-four couple, and it was filled
to its utmost capacity The gentlemen had
nothing to do but play the agreeable when
invited and it was interesting to see the ia
bles so completely turned upon upon us-the
ladies acting the gallant, and the gents yield
ing their blushing assent to each, in the gid.
dy mazes of the dance.
Where all was so beautiful it appears in.
vinuous to individualize, yet must speak of
the quartette composing the floor manage
agement They were dressed in white,
wearing red scarfs as the distinguishing
badge of their office, and you may search
California in vain for another set of equal
size and magnificent appearance The re.
ception committe were also dressed in white,
and wore blue as their badges, and were neat
and beautiful. The refreshment committee
wore plaid badges, and they attended to the
wants of the inner man in a superior manner.
The tables were most bountilully supplied
with all the delicocies of the season. and the
gents being served aud waited upon by fair
hands, could rot do otherwise than enjoy
themselves and be happy.
l know, Mr.. Editor, that you have no need
to look to Leap Year as a relief from your
tribulations, as you have passed that trying
ordeal of bachelors ife-the proposal
But if, in the circle of your acquantances,
you havea bashful friend, send him up here
the next time the ladies so honor US. l will
post you in time.
Those of your citizens who were honored
with an invitatian, and did not come mp,
have lost a splendid entertainment, can as
sure you, for it was by far the best party
which this place has ever witnessed. E.

Questions for the spiritualists to Answer.
TMBUoToo, Feb. Z, 1860.

TmBUoToo, Feb. T. 1860.
Mr.. EDITOR knowing the proper repug
nance ofeditors to having any set questions
argued in their columns, shall not propose
to argue, but only ask, few questions
L. This belief claiming to be in the right
line of succession from Jesus and his teach
ings and doings on earth, that is to say, the
healing of the sick, the speaking in divers
tongues, g. Why do not they-Spirtualists
also "cast out devils" 4. c. restore those
demented. (by spirtualism, at least,) to a
sound mental condition?
1t is reported that some forty out of eight
hundred, insane, now at Stockton, are labor
ing under mental unsoundness, from that
cause. Now, sis there no balm in Gilead 2
Is there no magnetic, psicologic, or other
means by which the lost equilibrium of ra
tionality can be restored? Is there neglect
of the development of that power in medi-
cines or is there really a break in the success
sions?
Would not people of good, sound, common
everyday sense, be more apt to recognize the
Divine Mission of those reputed Reformers
from another and higher sphere who come
here professedly to straighten out, right up,
and re.balance this crooked, capsized, and
physically half seasover planet, of ours, if
they would first cure their own (made) sick,
and right up their own unhinged work.
This is taking their own hypothesis, that
insanity is cerebral arrangement, or disease );
and not demoniacal, obscession, or possession.
2. Admitting the proposition of mental
and metallurgic correspondence, of true re-
lation between human attributes and metallic
properties. For instance, that which is the
diamond in the mineral world; is intellec-
tuality in the mental-that gold is goodness;
silver. purity iron, tenaeity and strength
DC. And also admitting that these relations
constitute the instinct of animal kingdoms
and conditions.
And Notwithstanding that rabies, or
hydrophobia, is an extreme state of uncon-
trollable hate, fury, anger, madness, being
the converse or opposite Of goodness; would
the administering of gold in solution, cure
that terrible disease? And is there any cor
respondential relation between the two facts
that, California being land of gold
which may be supposed to circulate freely by
invisible avenues known only to the laws OF
progression, has prevented by its abundance
of gold, the appearance of the Rabies in
this State Is the scarcity of gold in many
countries the cause of that hitherto inexplica.
BILE and incurable disease in them.
Come, now, friendly Spirits and Spiritual
lists, while we are willing to admit that you
can rap, tip and talk, and tell us our ages to
day, how many chileren we have, aud VINO
our young men and maidens are going to
marry, yet do please to think of something
more useful Christ " ent about teaching the
great Truths of God, and restoring the insane
Now devise some way TO clear out the Asy-
lum at Stockton, and while you are healing
the sick, teach mankind the laws of Nature
by Observance of which they may keep iron
getting sick, and deranged.
Not Caviler, but most respectfully,
