Fisher,



dence, threatening, aud challengingtho Judge,
took coWardly occasion to ASSAULT the same
Judge, Fisher, upon the street with cane. Both
tumb1ed into the gutter, and had hair pull
ing, and then were dragged apart and locked
up separately. This Bradley, who is the pet
Of the pro-alavery seed hare, WAS born in Mas
sachuaetts, whi1a Fisher Is from Delaware, and
vet is accredited as tho Northerner. Bradley
ia said to have lost about $4,000 a yesr by his
expulsion from the bar, and this and rage
have set him nearly crazy. Fisher behaved
with magnanimity, and walked away from the
infurintcd man. p,

The second quarrel was between Schencl
and Dawes. Schenck is man Of scrupulouf
honor in lis personal word and dealings Will

Trustworthy. He has no conception of mar

and the smaller the deception the more i
seems criminal to Schenck. Sincerity in wort
and spirit is tho devica Of this old bull mhstin
and, while generally courteous, he hiss th'
bravery Of Tom SayetB and the Eage OF a King

| Dawes advantaged himself Of the timo to NOV,

l the old tariff to stand, deserted 6cheuck, whit

MOTION AND FEanr.
The third quarrel was between a pair oi
! pa1a1ytics, Morton and Ferry. both lame, limp
ing men in bodily faculties, and OF nearly the
same age, both having been born in tho month
Of August, 1928. Morton has established the
! character here Of hrst-class denaagogue,
without fixed principles upon any pnrtcpla1
! subject, but with d certain brute power ol
driving little folks ahead OF him. Ferry is q
quiet, attentive, stealfnst man, who is not
over anxious to keep tho consciences Of othar
men, guarding chiefly the honor and patriotism
| OF bi@yclf. Morton has made every effort
to wish TO be considered the representative OF
the Executive in the Senate, and he has the
fashion Of treating Ills colleagues Ike set OF

By reviewing the constitutions o. every recon-

status OF their delegations in the Senate. Dy
