Mother was Mr.. Conkling's swift,
impressive and innocuous readiness
to Hoenanize the Senate Chamber,
by wiping the floor with the littlo
man from Georgia, characteristic of
anybody or anything, except that
his bicops ran his brain for Just
onco. Probably both belligorcnts
will bo ashamed Of themselves, and,
in tho storeotypod way, thoy will
regret tho occurrence, and feel suro
that if SO and so was SO and 80 thcn
so and SO should bo considered so
and so. Aftor which thoy would
both do woll to tako q drink and
remember so thoroughly that thoy
are mon as not hereafter to forget
that they are Senators. Tho Sena-
tor from Now York has boen "run-
ming" cowcd or corrupt colleagues
SO long that ho apparently forgots
no is barely in majority, and is
now confronted by mon who ask
and foar nothing of him. If Mr..
Gordon brings him back to his
manners he will have done q diff
cult and good thing. But it is
quito plain that his bullying will
oithor be laid aside or that ho will
be forced into tho ridiculous role
of wanting to settle his rows in tho
Senate "horo and now of q
prudent idea of not settling thom
on equal torms ''clsewhere." "
DoNN PIATT s OPINION OF THE UNpLEAs-
ANTNEss.
Washington Capital
Alively passago-at-arm between
Senator Conkling and Gordon dis
turbed the serenity and stupidity of
that august body last Friday in the
executive session. Tho Senator
from New York said that if tho
Georgia Senator stated that no was
'giving orders to tho Vice-Prosi-
dent" he told "what was not truo."
Indirectly ho gave Senator Gordon
the lilo. The Senator from Georgia
Immediately put on his war paint,
dropped his RS, and commenced to
quote from tho codo. He intimated
that while he would cheerfully draw
O four-buttonod glove across Mr..
Conkling's face, that was not the
place, and tho matter could be set
tlod elsewhere. Mr.. Conkling as
oager and willing as q bridegroom,
rotortcd in his finest voin that ho
was ready for the answer there or
anywhere olse. There is a fno
flavor Of medieval chivalry about
episode which intimatos that our
race of heroes has not yet died out.
Their wontcd fires glow in tho
breasts of their sons, and all Canada
is by this waiting to welcome the
Senatorial knights with itching
palms to hospitablo hotels and
starved surgeons, Gonoral Gordon
having won the highest honors his
State can confer upon it's most
honored citizen, and bearing on his
face tho scars of as gallant a
campaign as tho best Scottish blood
fought for the Stuart, would fifty
crown the apex of an honorable
career by meeting in a duel and
shooting, or boing shot, by New
York lawyer. Senator Conkling, q
born leader among mon, as King
Agamemnon was among tho Greeks,
and one of tho three or four great
characters to whom the nation looks
for counsel in trouble and perploxi-
ty,.would round off tho full and per-
feet measure of his life by swing
ing" or being winged by an ex-Con-
federate General. Since u Su-
promo Judge killed Senator Brodor-
ick in duel, and Burlingamo
pleaded for an opportunity to shoot
Preston Brooks, there has been no
exhibition of Senators going down
among tho gladiators to amuse the
populuco. If it is ncedful for tho
Republic that two Senators should
fight, lot NJ. G. Butler go out with
Edmunds, and lot Butler kill him.
Or lot Othello Davis meet Iago Kol-
logg. Whether he kill Kellogg or
Kellogg kill him, either makes our
