Encounter Of Prominent Democratic
Politicians Our morning cotemporaries, with
more or less inaccuracies of detail, give an
amusing account of a recent fist fight. We
understand, however, that the following is a
tolerably accurate account of what occurred :
skirmish really did take place near the
custom house, in the second story of Schafer's
building. The heroes of the engagement were
two prominent young lawyers, both descended
from irst.class fighting stock They are
cousins in fact. The only difference we could
observe between them likely to decide the
fight, was that the elder was the taller man
with longer reach of arm than his younger and
lighter complexioned adversary. Both dealt
their blows with such science and vigor that
for a time the conflict hung trembling in the
scale of doubt.
But victory perched on the brow of youth,
passing scornfully by the lofter combatant.
The stocky champion stood spendidly on his
pins, and in precisely one minute and thirty
seconds had placed his adversary in chancery
we'll known barrister, who occupies the same
building, at this juncture rendered his profes.
sional services successfully, and gave it as his
opinion that the case having got into chancery
ought to end there. We are glad to learn that
all parties accepted this decision, and that an
amiable understanding now exists between the
highly respected and excellent gentlemen in
volved in this affair.
