New HAVEN possessed Two citizens man,
ed James Gallagher and Thomas Brinley, re-
ported to be prominent Democratic politi-
clans; and the larrative which we are print
ing seems TO render the assertion both natur-
al and highly probable. At the late Con-
greesional Convention, it appears some diff
Guilty occurred between these gentlemen !;
growing out OF the subject of registration and
the payment of the men who gathered in the
faithtulto the registering places; somehow,
we say, difficulty arose between these gen.
tlemen, which eliminated one day last week
in physical argument. They met on the
street when Mr.. Brinley accused Gallagher of
selling out to the Kendrck faction. To this
the Hon. Mr.. Gallagher demurred, ard in the
course OF his remarks made use of rather
| strong language. He called the Hon. Mr..
| Briniey" id Internal liar,v "a id
beat" "a ID loafer," /" "a ID cheat" "and
several other endearDg appellqtions The
Hon. Mr.. Brinley, who is gentleman of ex-

Jected to the Hon. Mr.. Gallagher's vocabulary
and threatened to knock him down. He dared
the Hon. Mr.. Gallagher to repeat any of the
choice epithets which he had used, and upon
the Hon. Mr.. Gallagher's repeating one, with
a double barrelled series of adjectives attach
ed to it, the Hon. Brinley was as good as mis-

James Gallagher under one of his ears, and
sending that gentleman fiat OH the floor
and all in heap. The Hon. Mr.. Brinley
then leaped toward the PROSTATE friend
and rained blows on him until he was
pulled away by some of the bystanders.-
The affair was very lively one while it last
ed, and causes much animated conversation

Palladium informs us, does not sympathize
with the conquered, but rather espouses the
cause Of the Hon. Mr.. Brinley, and glories in
| the laurels he has won. The encounter was
| witnessed by several leading democrats, who
| speak highly of the science displayed by both
the distinguished participants. The Hon.
James !. Hayes of Connecticut, whom the
Hon. James Gallagher doored in personal
encounter some time since, considers himself
| avenged, and, it is understood, will present
the Hon. Mr.. Brinley with a champions belt
elegantly wrought with brass. The gentle
men who compose the democratic party have
every reason to be proud of their leaders
The Hon. Messrs. Gallagher and Brinley ara
kind enough to run the party, nominate its
| candidates and look after the workings OF the
| campaign, and their encounter only proves
how thoroughly harmonious the democracy
