R& Beast Butler has been
accused, in Congress, of accepting
two thousand dollars, and chan
ging his opinion in consequence,
upon the subject of the reissue of
a patent. In reply to this serious
accusation, the bottled up" hero
of Dutch Gap merely insisted that
his accuser, Farnsworth, had
"more beard than brains" There
seems to be no doubt that Butler
accepted the money and did SER
vice accordingly in the House
but the House, pre- contra, ap-
pears to think that only "small
potatoes" Whittemore & Coz should
be expelled for corruption, while
large ones, like Butler, have mere
ly to ridicule their accusers and
thereby secure absolution.--
Spoons are potential.

BE- A duel was fought oppo-

was wounded. As soon as blood

The Happy Family.

On Wednesday, 18th uIt, the
Radicalsof Philadelphia held their
nominating conventions amid dis
graceful scenes in every one. Pts
tolls and blackjacks were brought
into use. From the following ex
tract of lengthy report OF one of
these conventions, one can form
an idea of the character of the
proceedings:
"Here was a conflict Of juris-
diction, which resolved itself speed
lily into a pugilistic struggle be-
tween Stephen Elliott and Samuel
Lane, for possession of the gavel.
they punched each other, and
wrestled about the stage, which
was filled with at least a hundred
delegates. Elliott stepped upon
the desk and was knocked down {;
again he mounted it, and essayed
10 speak, when the undismayod
Lane rushed upon him, and made
a grab for the mallet. Another
fight followed, during which the
struggling chairmen and a dozen
delegates were hurled from the
stage to the floor, a distance of
six feet. With wondrous alacrity,
Elliott was upon the stage, dis
playing not only the mallet with
victorious whirl, tut a coat ripped
up the back to the collar. Again
he mounted the desk, which had
been replaced, and was greeted
with a yell of delight, mingled
with curses. He hadn't gone fur.
sher in his address than Il am
your temporary chairman" when
Lane, with "Pm damned if you
are" struck at him. The uplifted
mallet, in the hands of Elliott,
came down with a swish upon the
head of Lane, and a scene of wild
est confusion and boisterOus eX
element was opened. The dele
gates fought each other Black
jacks were drawn, and one man
who exposed a revolver, was
knocked off the stage. The strug
Cling mass swayed to and fro
breaking the stage chandeliers
sending the speakers desk on the
floor for a second time, overturn
ing the reporters desk, and com
polling the innocent Knights Of
the Quill to seek refuge in the
stage boxes for safety. Lane was
dragged off the stage and punched
but with "Devil-in-th the andboX'
spirit, soon regained his position
and defied the pugilistic Elliott.
