The opinion of large majority
of people here relative to the Ben

was most ridiculous burlesque, de-
void of every feature Of true man.

received concerning it bring that
verdict nearer unanimity. The
whole affair has been purposely in

purposes and sanguinary results by
its participants, to conceal it's las is
beieved) farcical realities, that were
the two principals to suddenly lose
the Importance they have and which
is inseparable from the possession of
wealth, they would only. be spoken
of in terms Of ridicule and deision.
This sentiment is heightened by the
impression fast obtaining that the
fighting was all done with blank car
tridges, notwithstanding the dismal
dispatches of last evening intimating
that MI. Mays wound is likely to
prove fatal, it is not generally be-
lieved that there was scratch receiv-
ed by either of the combatants.
Everything connected with the
deliberations of the House and SEN
ate committees, appointed for the
purpose of devising a satisfactory
plan for counting and declaring the
electoral votes has been jealousy
guarded from public sight and hear
ing; and newspaper men have found
it exceedingly difficult to obtain any
information that would serve to in
dictate the progress made or the
character of method that would be
finally adopted; but there is reason
to believe that the majority Of the
Senate committee have agreed as to
the proper line of procedure to be
observed on the 14th of February,
and have SO far matured the plan as
to send it to the House committee
for its concurrence and to request a
conference. There is also rumor
current that one of the democrats of
the House committee has shown
such marked unwillingness to as
sent to the plan proposed by the
balance Of his political associates on
