HIGH TONED Row.-There was lively and
very exciting scrimmage about eleven o'clock
last evening, in front of the United States Ho-
tel, participated in by a number of young
"bloods" about town. Tall hats were smashed,
broadcloth coats torn, and Grecian-cut faces
considerably disfigured, to the accompaniment
of the music of crashing glass. There were
some fine architects in the crowd, and the man
sards erected over eyes would put to shame the
proudest edifices in our largest cities. They
were put up in a style worthy of Gorham's
Corner. One man. impelled by rash ambition,
or by the contact of hard fist with his era
mum, attempted demi-voh through the large
windows of the vacant store next to the main
entrance to the States. At this point of the
proceedings officers Merrill, Slower and Libby
stepped in, and took the two principal com
batants to the station, while :" the rest they ran
away" The amount of blood split was by no
means inconsderable, the hands of the officers
being stained with it, Deputy Sterling very
properly refused to let the high toned cusses de-
mart in peace

LETTER FROM Mr.. BRooKs-Congressman
Brooks writes letter to President Clark, re-
signing his position as director of the Union
Pacific Railroad. He evidently does not APP
preciate the Forty-Second Congress:
WASHINGTON, D. c., March 8, 1873.
To Hon. Horace r. Clark:
Dear Sir-In view of the recent action of the
House of Representatives. which would seem to
declare that member of Congress, because of
self-interest, could not vote with even a tariff
coat on his back, CT. in other words, that the
House must be recruited hereafter from the
aims houses of the country, 1 have ordered to
be sold the small number of shares have held
in the Union Pacific Railway, purposely to
render myself ineligible to your Board of Direc-
tors. Please also say to the assembled stock
holders that fhave thus disqualified myself for
reelection, because l am member of the next
Congress, and because, hereafter, / intend to
be free to open my mouth without any suspic-
ion Of self interest, and to act and to vote as
my Judgment dictates; whereas, for some years
past, have often withheld my vote, when the
common interests of the government and of the
road de handed an affirmative vote and ener-
getic speech. Indeed, the interests of this
great government and of this great road-the
greatest enterprise of the world for ten centur-
ies-are so identical that am quite sure shall
never find one in conflict with the other, and
can therefore justly defend both from assault.
Yours, respectfully,
JAMES BROOKS.
