A Lively Scene in the New Jersey House
Representatives Indulge in n Free Fight.

TRENTON, April 4.-The remarks made by
Mr.. Carse in the House yesterday, calling Sco-
vii perjured man and scoundrel, eliminated
this morning in fight in the lobby. Cole and
John Hood had some warm words, when Sco-
vii came up and a violent talk took place be-
tween Scovil and Cole. Cole passed the lie,
and Scovil struck him heavy blow and sent
him Keeling to the floor The excitement grew
intense. The Speaker directed the sergeanS-at-
arms to close all the doors. Carse, hearing the
noise outside, rushed from his seat to the lobby
and mixed in the fight. Scovil seized Carse
and punished him severely, knocking him
down, and it Is said he was kicked while down.
Coles eyes were BACKED. The Mayor, whc
happened to be present, induced Scovil to go
out of the State House. The affair grew out
of the opposition of Scovl to a bill in the
House, which it was alleged affected the dspo-
sition of some property in Camden said to be in
the courts
A Sold Senator.
Some excitement was created to-day in con-
sequence of the arrest of one of the Senators.
Immediately after the adjournment sine die, an
officer walked up to G E. Shepard, Senator
from Cumberland, and arrested him on a war
rant issued on complaint of one Jos. Shaffer::
one OF the contractors of the National railway,
charging the Senator with corruptly receiving
$1,000 in consideration or his vote in the inter-
est of said National railway. 1t is stated that
Sheppard received the money, but did not vote
as expected or as he had agreed upon. 1t is
said he intended to return the money. The
affidavits charge him with having taken the
money and keeping it. Sheppard gave bail for
his appearance before the Mercer county Court
of Oyer and Terminer in May next to answer
to the charge.

THE HAYDNs AND ST. PErER.-The Hay
dns are about to undertake a somewhat am
bilious enterprise which they will undoubtedly
carry through in the creditable style customary
to them and in which they should have the
hearty and earnest support of our citizens gen.
orally. They propose to present to the public
Mr. j. x. Paine's oratorio ''St. Peter" This
in the first oratorio composed by an American,
and the Haydns will give its first presenta-
ton. These facts of themselves would attract
attention to the undertaking, but when to these
the fact is added that Mr.. Paine was a Port
land boy and pupil of our own Kotzschmar,
there is abundant cause for lively interest in
this musical event. The Haydns will spare
neither labor nor expense to make the affair
successful and deserve the cordial cooperation
of all who have either love of music or local
pride. We shall next week publish some of
the criticisms of Mr. Paine's work from the
musical journals.

SURVIVORS OFTHE ATLANTIC.

Statements of Officers, Passengers
and Crew.
New Developments.

Expectation was on tiptoe last night, regardin,
the arrival of the Falmouth from Halifax, will

AS early as eleven o'clock small knots of news
paper men were gathered at Railroad Whar
with note books and pencils in hand, eagerl!
awaiting her arrival. There were present re
porters from the New York Herald, World ant
Times, the Boston Advertiser, 1raueller and
Transcript. During the long hours of waiting
they amused themselves by sending imagina'
tive ard conjectural dispatches to their respect
i've papers.
Some ran out to the Maine Central Station
when the Eastern Pullman arrived, IN hopes
that some of the cabin passengers might be on
board. At 13O this morning the whistle OF the
Falmouth sounded, and at 40 she TOUCHED
THE WHARF. There was rush Immediately
to the gang-way but the officers of the boat
warned them back. Very soon the passengers
filed off the boat. 1t was pitiful sight to see
the poor fellows as they stepped shudderingly
upon the plank. their faces wearing look of
horror as they glanced shudding-
ly down into the water, They were dressed
in all sorts of garments, some of which looked
like patchwork combination of all countries
under the sun.
The general appearance of the Storage pas
sengeIs was much above the average, and they
were a clearly, temperate looking set of men.
Indeed many of them are mechanics in the
States, who have been over to Europe after rel
atives and friends. Some started on their re-
turn trip with their families, and lost them on
that fearful night off the rock-bound north
eastern coast. Their joy at touching land was
childish even Some of them fell down and
kissed the ground, while others swung their
hats and hurrahed. The steerage passengers,
each of whom was furnished with loaf of
bread and large piece of meat by the officers
of the Falmouth, were hurried on the special
train of nine cars which was to take them to
Boston. Meantime the reporters jumped on
board the steamer to interview the officers and
cabin passengers. One PREss reporter secured
the following statistics, while others obtained

''Let another man praise thee and not thine
o,cn mouth.-.Solonon.
Very recently, gentleman of our city who
has large insurance on his life, and who pro-
poses to take more, having had the features of
one of the large companies presented to him as
possessing special merits and claims wrote to
the President of the company in which he had
most of his insurance. and which is one of the
Oldest and largest companies in the country,
asking his opinion of that company whose mer
its had been so urgently pressed upon him; to
which he received the following reply:
My Dear Sir:-If you wish for additional in
surance we will add to your $4,000 Policy
$4,000 more. If you do not wish to take it in
our company, would recommend to you the
New England Mutual Life of Boston,"
No reference or allusion was made to the
Company concerning which the inquiry was
made and for which the letter was written.
This simple incident, which came to my
knowledge accidentally, I cite as sufficient
commentator of the merits of the New Eng
land, without any flourish of trumpets or fig

In view Of Judge Scott, of New York
city, having recently discharged several per-
sons who had been arrested for issuing cir
culars for the purpose of inducing the un-
wary to buy counterfeit money, Mayor
Hayemeyer has written tbs following letter
to Justice Scott:
EXECUTIVE DEHARTMENr CITY HALL,
NEW YORK, Jau. q, IS73.-My Dear Sir:
| am in the daily habit of receiving papers,
of which | inciose a sample, and some OF
which / referred TO the police department
for investigation. 1t Itsppears by the public
paters that number Of men were arrest
ed. some in the act Of directing similar cir
culars, all of which, with the otner para
uhernaIia of the business, were seized ard
tbe culprits taken before you for adjudica-
tion. i see by the Herald Of this morning
That they have all been discharged because
Il could not be proved that anybody has
been deceived by the circulars.
Now suppose that this decision is tech
nIcally right, as it is not likely that any
body who could be humbugged by any such
temp, alton would be likely to speak about
it. or 10 make any charge if caught in the
act: but as you seemed TO treat The police
Nnaen who arrested him with an indignity
they did not deserve, beca1se no party who
was swindled was present TO make the
charge, l will hereafter furnish you daily
with the information l receive on this sub
iect, that you may be able in the course Of
lime 10 know what is going on in this COM
munity, by parties who should be in the
State prison, and also under your decision
are free to pursue their vocstion, which |
think must be profitable to some one or it
would not be pursued.
Yours, w. f. HAyEMEYER, Mayor.
To Judge Scott, Essex Market Police Court.
