A Legitimate Result.

The course of bruserism to which the
American people is being treated in connec-
tion with the presence here of Mace and
Slade was accented yesterday at Chicago by
about as cold and deliberate murder
as the record Of "sports" so.called, can
boast The quarrel that resulted in the
shooting of Elliott by Dunn arose out of diff
fercnces in the affairs of these professional
thumpers. Their course through the country
has been anything but creditable to the pub
lie that has patronized or winked at it.
1t might have been expected to lead to
some such mess; and now that it has

probably little to choose between them and

have been irreparable If their shooting

WHEN Senator Voorhees, said in debate on
Wednesday that New England had opposed
tho Mexican war and had little or no share
in 1t, he forgot that the democracy went to
New Hampshire for military hero in that
war-Gen. Franklin Pieroe-and made him
their candidate for the presidency at the cleo
tion in 1852. He overlooked, also, the military
career Of Gen. Caleb Cushing, of Massachusetts,
who fits into" the Mexican war, and who
was furnished to the southrons to preside
over their secession fragment of tho national
democratic convention at Baltimore, 1850.
The voice Of New England was little
uncertain during tho war, for its cause was
not deemed worthy one but Mr. Voorhees,

Beneath linden tree;
And Love came slyly spying

And bound her silken hair.
A lethargy came DER her

Love lightly wove lily chain,
And wound II round her feet.
She softly rang her thoughts, erewhile

rates could not be so disastrous as o
postponement Of the day Of reckoning
for another year. If congress adjourns with

knowledge that the agitation will be renewed
next winter, and suspense is the very worst
contingency business men have to fear.
