LEGISLATIVE RowDYIsM.-The New York
assembly bears the uncontested palm of legis-
lative rowdyism, beside which the wordy en-
counter and browbeatinss of Congress became
tame aud iusipid. In the former body last
Friday, while the vote was being taken on
bill touching the interests of a canal company,
Messrs. Irving and Weed, who were on oppo-
site sides, approached the clerks desk to OBJ
serve the progress OF tue vote. No amiable
feelings existed between the gentlemen, and
Irving hauliIy asked .'if the clerk could not
take his vote without Weeds interference
Weed muttered reply, wnen Irving called
him tibet in loud tone of voice, and acted
in very threatening manner. The two men
approached each other in begelent atti-
tude. Irving raised his hand as ii to strike
Weed, but they were prevented from coming
to actual blows by gentlemen who were pres
ent. This created excitement, and members
rushed forward to the desk, and great confu-
sion followed in spite of the sharp and ener
ketic rapping Of the speakers gavel, and the
call upon the members to resume their seats
Mr. Weed stepped into the clerks room in
rear OF his desk, closely allowed by Mr.. Irving
amp several members, and before the Sergeant
alarms could reach the spot there was con-
fused noise of scuffling and conflict. When
Mr.. Weed returned to his seat he had a bad
cut over the left eye and his head in band
age, and it is said that he was saved from fur
ther violence from Mr.. Irving by the gentle
men present in the room. OF course there is
to he an investigating committee, with length
ened sessions, and power to send for persons
and papers, and refreshments and large ex-
pensee, and the stereotyful uerdict that mot
blame can be attached to either party. ..

cost much more to do that, and there is Dos

,,.upblicau Triumphs i'm the West.
TUESDAY, APRIL II, 1871.

The Connecticut election itself is not so
cheering and inspiring as the series of re-
markable Republican triumphs in late munic-
ipal elections in the West In a mere local
contest the minority party always has great
advantage, and by availing itself OF whatever
trifing disafecton there may be it often
gains temporary victory. The municipal
election in many of the large cities of the
West, following Immediately after the untor-
tunate San Domingo controversy in Congress
might we'll be expected to reflect the feeling
of uncertainty, and TO indicate the looseniDg
of party ties naturally resulting from the pas
sions and prejudices excited thereby. But
the reaction favorable to the President was as
sudden as the little furry Of irrational excite
ment against him. Even in St. Louis, where
the Schurz' Brown conspiracy of last year car
ried the election against the Republicans by
about twelve thousand majority, the Demsc-
racy only had the lead by about twelve hum
dred. In the other large cities and towns in
Ohio, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, and other
Western States the Republicans not only sue
ceeded where they commonly have the lead,
but they made some entirely new conquests
like Milwaukee and Dubuque.
These elections have to our mind great sig
nidcance. A great many unfavorable circum-
stances may intervene between now and No
vember, 1872, but if nothing of an extraordi-
nary character is to happen the Presidential
election may be regarded as already settled
Our Washington correspondent in his re-
markable letter published Friday gave an ac-
count of an interview with prominent
Southern Unionist whom we presume 10 be
Gov. Holden of North Carolina, who has just
been driven from his State by Rebel violence,
in which that gentleman expressed the opin-
ion that the Ku Klux organization has for its
purpose the fomenting of another war. The
method they will adopt, as he says, is to carry
as many as possible of the Southern States
by force and fraud for the Democratic candi-
date for President. The result of the cleo
ton is very likely to depend on the electoral
votes secured by fraud and intimidation. OF
course there will be opposition to counting
such votes, and in this way the Ku Klux ex-
pect to involve the whole country once more
in the horrors of civil war, expecting in this
way that the "lost cause" will finally tri.
umps. The late speech of JEFF Davis at Sci
ma and Of George Saunders and other ex-
Rebels give some color to these startling as.
sertions. If they are found to have any foun.
dation in fact, the unanimity Of the North
will be such as to placeit beyond the power
ofany combination in the Southern States to
effect the result of the election.
