i Our village fisherman, old Isaac Russell
contri,ed to get drunk on Sunday last, and
being drunk, he became mad crazy. and
though quite q small man, concluded that
the house was too small for himself ana
family, and that hs would snare the shan,y y
with no one. He invited his wife TO vacste
the premises. She not feeling disposed to
comply at once with this very unbosba nd.
like request, he proceeded to eject her by
force. Chairs, stools, butchers knife, etc.,
were made to fly around the room at a fear
fol rate. His wife and several of the chill.
dren sought and found refuge in the house
of her brother-in.iaw, M. Church. When
Isaac is sober, we believe he is not at all
harsh to bis family, but whisky makes a
devil Of him; and we are only sorry that his
satanic majesty has too many sgents here,

CONGRESS- YESTERDAY.

The quarrel of the harmonious Democracy over
the Slavery question went on in the Senate yester-
day as usual Mr. Green of Missouri managed to
conclude his speech in time to have Mr.. Pugh cone
down with o reioinder. Mr.. Green professed to be
very amiable and goOd-natured, and said all he
wanted was to have Congress- protect Slavery IN
the Territories and forbid any unfriendy Legislation
therein against the institution. In word, he
asked nothing more than to have Slavery allowed
to 20 everywhere, and be protected everywhere,
aud this little trfe once granted, he could see no
reason why the Democracy should not all become
entirely harmonious again, and those who have
been lured from its ranks, by tie agitatons of
the past, quietly return TO its bosom. Mi. Pugh
replied with some very feeling observations, stimu-
lated doubtless by the recollection of the result of
the late election in Ohio, wherein both his own
sentiments and these of Mr.. Green received
practical commentary not at all fiatterng to the
hcpes of those who anticipate the restoration of
the broken fortunes Of the demorallzed Democracy
Of the North.
Tn the House, Mr.. Pugh of Alabama made furious
disunion speech, taking the most radical ground
upon the subject. He is, or processes 10 be- IN
hurry to leave without any conditions whatever
He declared the Republican party to be nothing
less than furnishing Boa Constructor, and that the
South if it remained in its company, would IN
evitsbly be ifs prey. We feel sorry for the sppre'
tensions of Mr.. Pugh, and trust his colleagues OF
the Free States may reassure him. lest he should ID
continenty take to his heels and fly from before the
face of the terrible serpent hs fancy has cOljured
NJ, without even waiting for the company Of his
brother members from his own State.
After Mr. Pugh, comes a ballot in which Mr..
Sherman came within three votes OF an election.
Then followed sort Of Delphic cooquy in which
Mr.. Horace +. Clark and Mr. Adrain bore con-
suicuous part. Both of these gentlemen spoke OF

unspotted political career. There are thousands oil
those who rank nominally among his political OPP
ponen!s, who would gladly see the affairs OF State
committed to his prudent and judicous guidance.
He has been the guidiog star of all that is noble
and manly and spacious in Tennessee politics for
q quarter of O century, and that he should now be
put forward by the Opposition of that State as their
choice for the Presidency, is but just and well'de'

Mr.. Waterbury, who was the candidate of the Dem

twenty two Democrats in the Board. Mr.. Boese was

nominated Mr.. Eugene Shine to the Finance Com

reputation which he earned in the famous Fourth
Ward Swndle, by which the city became the pur-
chaser of three lots in Oliver street at an expense
of fully double the value of full lots in that neigh
