THE ROW BETWEEN CAPTAIN NEW
BERRY AND MR.. BROWNING.
He denounced the alleged grounds
for the removal of Massey as a "shal-
low pretence," because his successor
had, with two or three exceptions, APP
pointed his own clerks. But Captain
Newberry directly charged upan Cap
tain Wise bargain "wlth the Boss"
for The nomination Tor Governor; that
Wise had told him he expected TO run;
that he is TO be the BOss's candidate,
and as part of the bargain is TO do his
dirty work about over the State. aud
among the rest TO hunt and hound
Newberry down here in his own coun-
ty and district, and that the other gen.
tlemen accompanying him here from
Richmond (Ballard and Bro Hning) are
also here in the interest OF the Boss,
and are now round taking notes for
him. At this point Mr.. S. S. Brown
ing, private secretary ito Governor
Cameron, exclaimed, YOU'RE liar,
sir Quick as thought Newbcrry
hurled cane at his head, and advanc
ing leaped upon him, and as Browning
went under NewberIy's fist was seen
dealing rapid blows at his face until
they were separated, friends on both
sides (of which a large majority we're
New berry's) rushing in. Fists and
knives were drawn, and Tor a lew
moments the greatest excitement pre-
vailed. Newberry, as soon rs taken
from Browning, resumed his speech,
but Captain Wise,
Browning, now abruptly and in bully
manner interrupted Captain Newberry,
claiming as much right as he TO Bland
or any part of Virginia. Stormy words
ensued, Newberry claiming the floor,
till a bystander tapped Wise on the
shoulder, saying, johnny, l don't
want to hurt you, but SIT doen, or III
knock you down." At which Captain
Wise sat down, aud did not again, nor
did any one else afterwards, interrupt
Captain Newberry, who continued III
The same strain Of vehement inyective
and scathing denunciation to the close
of his speech, over aud oyer again
branding Captain Wise with corrupt
bargain for oflice-wilh having
SOLD HIS BIRTHRIGHr
for mess of pottage; his manhood
and independence for the Boso'a collar.
HE should be ashamed OF himself; be
had disgraced al illusirious ancestry.
HIS brother, o. Jennings VIE, had
died gloriously battling with the foes Of
his country; his chivalroas spirit went
out baptized in blood, but Il that spirit
could speak to him nov he would de-
nouuce and scorn him for lis infamous
bargain with tue Boz. If Henry A.
Wise could rise from his grave he
Ould point his boDy finger at lin and
denounco him as the degenerate and
unworthy son fan illustrious SIRE
These are but samples of the CALLING
epitheis and stern rebukes with which
Captain NewbeTy continued for near
two hours TO lash and easliGale his di;-
tinguished assailant. After 4 brief
rejoinder by each the discussion closed.
The writer is Readjuster, IN iull
SYMPATHY with most (aot alD of the
Reatjuster measures; bat be assured
that Newberry was not squelched, but
Of he two rather tn c ylctor u The oc-
casb n and the hero Of the day.
