BAD MASSERs.--Tho conduct Of Senator
Garrett Davis in Juggling politics into his ne
marks concerning the late Senator fessenden is
more severely denounced by Democrats than
Republicans. They were disguised with the
Kentucky Senator. The correspondent Of the
n. Y. World says;
Though II is not pleasant to record the bad
manners ola Democratic member Of the Senate
on sich an occasion, still il must and ought to
be said that Mr.. Garrett Davis, Of Kentucky,
laid himself liable TO be written down an ass by
his injection Of q political TRADE against the
party which Mr.. Fessendcn bcuorcd by bis life,
into these otherwise honorable proceedings In
vindicaticns Of the dead. Mr.. Dayis's folly In
this respect was in the wrong contrast with the
singularly tasteful and touching tribute paid
10 the memory Of Mr., fcssendcn, by the Demo-
cratic senator from Maryland, Mr.. Vickers, in
whom the amnesty Of partisan never rises
higher than the level Of his instincts rs gentle
