A FIGHTING SENATOR.


An extraordinary rencontre took place Thurs
day afternoon at the capitol between Senator
Lewis of Virginia aud Mr. Seilhamer, chief
correspondent of the New York Herald, grow.
ing out of an article published in the Herald
wherein Lewis was charged with favoring the
Cincinnati nominations. 1t would have been
well enough for Lewis to make denial, but
presuming on his position as Senator, and the
imp?ssibility of correspondent resisting him
IN the Capitol building, he made savage and
cowardly assault on Seilhamer with a heavy
cudgel, borrowed for the purpose. His action
is generally condemned, and his attempt to
bully a correspondent is deprecated even bv
Senators with whom politically he acts in
concert. He is the same fighting Senator who
short time ago slapped Supervisor of Internal
Revenue Presbury, in the face, because Pres
bury refused to make appointment at his solicit
tation
