The absentees on both sides have all been telegrapbed for, and the House will be very full to-morrow. - The eat - lenses of the Democratic Senators having resulted in. nothing, because of the emba'frassing prelence of Messrs. Douglas, Stuart and Broderick.:the .Lecompton Sena tors held a very private caucus or. Saturday in the room of the Finance Committee. The result oft heir deliberations is kept very close. The Star and Stales give grossly unfair accounts of the personal conflict in the House. They endeavor to cast the blame on Mr. Grow by entirely omitting Mr. Keitt's insult . ing language, and laying stress oh-Mr Grov7s reply, as if it were unprovoked. The state ment in the Tribune was literally correct, except in a single particular. Mr. Davis of, Mississippi interposed to preserve the peace, and not to attack Mr:Grow.. Everybody is praising the promptness and vigor with which Messrs. Potter and Wash burn of Wisconsin,lnd Washburn of Illinois, dashed into the excited crowd of Southerners and rushed to Grow's aid. The Southern men who were in the fight declare 'that they. - found`them very ugly customers.. They are all natives of Maine. Messrs. Tappan of N. H.,.and Kilgore of Ind., were equally prompt,. .and were it Grow's-side in an instant. • Mr. Grow's rooms were thronged with visitors all day tg-day and yesterday. The Southern men take the matter very good humoredly. It is understood' that Mr. Keitt will make-a personal explanation in the Rouse' teariorrow. Its purport has not transpired. No apprehension is entertained tif a renew al of theyersonal collision of Friday night. After the spirit shown agd execution done by Messrs. Grow, Potter, the two Washburns and others,the South feels unwilling to repeat the experiment, knowing its l har.ards, since the firm purpose of the Republicans, not to endure these outrages, but to return hilowfor blow. A Southern Senat O r remarked yesterday that the Republicans had gained the first bat; tie, since they drew the first blood (Keitt's) and got the first.scalp (Barksilikle's wig.) The Washington correspondent. of the Philadelphia Daily News furnishes that pa- per with the following version of the affair : It appears that about a quarter before two o'clock,.while many Members knowing that there eras no special business on hand and no likelihood of a vide, were lounging and dos: lug in their seats or moat*. promiscuously about . the Hall, Mr.. Grow, whose , seat is about the centre of the western side of - the House, where the Republican member* sit, found himself on the opposite . side, whose in. . habitants are chiefly Democrats: Mr. Grow thrust his hand lent*, -paying, " I shall occup; I plesie, and no nigger drivel whip over Again Mr.; ; Keitt seized "i and wait agaiif'driied ,y on the attempt bei repeat delivered a wpl aimed.
