running that institution, have be

matter of great doubt whether they

was undoubtedly to secure the afore-
said I'D. d." that Stevens, prior to
the stoppage of business, endeavorcd
to let his printer, Forney, into the
contingent fund of Congress to the
amount of several thousand dollars.
The immediate cause of the break
ing up of this radical firm seems to
have been a disagreement between
the principal copartners concerning
the negro. Mr.. Sumner was desir-
GUS of using the capital of the Union
party for the special benefit of our
colored friend; and Mr.. Stevens was
desirous of using the blacks solely
for political purposes. In the divis-
ion of the assets it appears that the
African becomes the special property
of the Senatorial member, while
certain patent articles heretofore
used in political jobbery fell to the
possession of the House associate.
In announcing the Gismemberment
of the concern, Mr.. Stevens in
dulged in some savage and satirical
structures upon his business colleague
which throws all his previous efforts
in rather successful career Of sour
rility in the shade. He charged the
Hon. Mr.. Sumner with being a con-
summate pedant, a vain and weary
philologist; vandal in grammar,
and desecrator of Lindlay Murray;
a pompous and exaggerated egotist;
with diverse other congenial epi-
thets; and wound up the radical
corporation by graphically picturing
the bleeding form of the Goddess Of
Liberty weltering in the Senate
Chamber under the deadly assaults of
"self-righteous Republicans aud un-
righteous Copperhcads." We might
cite the we!l-worn adage, "When
rogues fall out" &c.-but we forbear.
We only congratulate the country
that, while the Radicals are thus en-
gagged in smashing their own heads
and vilifyipg the memory of one an
other, that patriotic men will have
some relief from their unnatural
abuse and whatever disaster hap
pens in the present "scrimmage"
will be for the common behefit of
the nation. Old pictures used to
represent a Lapland mother throw
ing her offspring to the wolves howl
ing upon her truck, to distract her
pursuers aud increase the distance
between them and herself. Mr..
Stevens, with the same dcarth of
affection and equal sagacity, needing
the ominous indications of the con-
servative Nemesis 20 soon to over
take his radical cabal, in the most
cold -blooded manner, filings Mr..
Sumser on the track thinking
thereby TO aelude justice snd escape
Asnrer. We csa remind this vefer-
