A Fight Neutrality-suspicious. Porter aud
DeieeilNe MoOda Have a Llilla .tMIlI.r


Hon. Charles II. Porter, who represents this
district In Congress, had little difficulty on
Broad street yesterday with Pat. Woods, the
well-known detective officer Of this city. Mr..
Woods says that Porter was too familiar with
him, even going so far as to call him pat"
The result was q fight In which Mr.. Porter
came OF second best The parties were sepa-
rated by Chief Of Police Poe, who opportunity
came upon the scene; but In the meantime a
| crowd had collected, and the negroes seemed
disposed TO take the part Of their representa-
tive, and were with difficulty induced to dis
perse. Mr.. Woods was suspended and placed
under arrest by order Of Mayor Ellyson. Mr.
Porter's injuries, though dis6guring, are not
serious. Mr.. J. NJ. Humphreys, who was with
Mr.. Porter, came in for share Of the blows
inflicted by Woods fist, but succeeded In
making good his retreat.
Since the above was written, we have heard
Mr.. POrters account Of the affair. He says
that, walking down Broad street with Mr.
Humphreys, they were met by Woods, who
asked them to take drink. They declined
whereupOn Woods became belllgercnt and
pitched Into Porter without due notice Of his
Intention. At any rate, II seems to DO con-
coded that Pat was too many" for his OppO-
nents, and was declared victor on the second
round. FFu.
The parties will be before the Mayor this
morning. We should state that the Mr.
Woods spoken Of above Is not the one who
was an officer In Mayor ChahoOn's police

bit sleepy to have no frc-crackers on the
Fourth Of July, no skates on Christmas; to
want piece Of bread-and- butter with ho-
noy and get your ears pulled; to be kept
from the circus when it comes to town, and
when all the other boys go; to get pound
ed for stealing roasting cars to get run 10y
bull dogs for trying to nip water melons !;
TO have the caukcr rash, catochism, and
stonebruises; to be called up to kiss all the
old women that visit your mother; to be
scolled because you like Maggie Love bet
ter than your own dear sister; to be told
of what scorching times little boys will
have who tell lies and are not like George
Washington; and-why, who'd be boy
again
