BLAoKaUARDIsM IN Hon LIYr.--On Mon
day evening dlsgraceful sccne occurred at
welcker's restaurant on Fifteenth strost, In
which number OF men participated who arc
recognized In society a. gentlemon, but vhoss
actions on tho occasion now under notice
would indicate that the title ID misapplied.
From what can DO gathered BY our reporter
Il appears that those parties, ono Of them an
officer In tho United States service, two others
sons Of generals, another Q clerk In oas Of
the departments, and others Of lesser note,
were In the restaurant, and became involved
In q quarrel with several members Of foreign
legations who were dining at the time.
Their language savoring more Of Btllings-
gate than Of parlor conversation, tho pro-
prietor Of the saloon was compelled 70 ask
the services Of tho police, and o1cer Boyle
having been called In, quclled tho distur-
bance for time, only to be renewed az soon
the Bolster school finally became 90 violent
that they were elected from the premises.
On the porch, aud In front Of tho house, they
used such profanc and Indecent language,
that 0fiicer Doyle promptly arrested Two Of
them, not without q good deal Of resistance.
They were hustled Into hack, driven 10 the
Central guard-house, aud arraigncd before
Justice Harper. Here they and their friends
acted In very disgusting and disgracoful
manner, and the leniency Of the Justice In 70
framing to send the party TO jail for con-
tempt, Is Justly matter Of wonder and rc-
mark.
Through feeling Of respect for the fami-
lies Of the parties the magistrate did not do
II, but contented himself with fning tho two
persons arrested $40 each for dlsordcrly con-
duct, and they were taken away BY their
friends.
Now these men are old enough to know
better, and departing from the usual custom
Of the REPUBLICAN In not publishing their
names, we do so through respect for their
families and connections, and hope that this
notice may have the effect TO prevent repe-
tition Of the occurrence, assuring them that
In the event Of another such Clark" they
will DO treated rs their conduct merits.
