Senator DbtIs, of Kentucky, irhila making
a PjMteli ia iploey f the Knklnx Klan,
is disturbed aut terribly enraged at tbe
preneiee of General Butler. '
A, correspondent 'of tbe Philadelphia
In(juirer writes of thV eene as follows,
under date of MarchOtrrt. '
A very extraordinary sVene took place
ia the Senate to day between Mr. Gar
rett Davis aud Gencal Butler, which,
whiles it lasted, created profound sensa
tion, especially iu the' galleries. Mr.
Davis had been speaking- for some time
upon Mr. Sherman's resolutions instruct
inj the 'Judiciary. Committee to report a
Kuklux bill, and bad worked himself in
to considerable passion ut what be con
sidered the unjust' charges of disorder
made upon tbe South, when General
Butler came into the-Senate. At this
point Mr. Davis waa. facing bis Demo
cratic colleagues, and was apparently e
horting them.
General Butler, observing whowasspeak
ing, marched over in that direction and
took a seat directly next to the Kentucky
Senator. Then, ti etching his legsout.be
wbet-L'd his chair , around, threw himself
back and loc ked at Mr. Davis with an
expression on his face of mingled insolence
and contempt. The galleries, thinking
it a mere piece of biav.ido, enjoyed the
thing .hugely.-: Mr.' ifavis, whose back
was still turned, had reached that point
iu his speechVliere be was claimiug that
the stories of Southern outrages were
grossly exaggerated.
'They are more," said he, "they are
vile inventions of unprincipled adven
turers and hearllers scoundrels, made to
cont'nne their ill-gotten hold on political
powei ; they are ' and here, turning
around in the warmth of his feeling, he
beheld Geneal Butler almost at, his very
elbow, looking straight at him with a face
immovable as a stone. Mr. Davis immedi
ately paused in his half-nuished sen
tence, placed both hands on his desk, aud
glared at Butler almost with the ferocity
of a tiger. Butler returned the Ken
tuckiau's look unflinchingly, only grow
ing a trifle paler, f
The tabltau continued for several mo
ments without either changing bis atti
tude a particle, while the galleries looked
on in painful suspence, and the surround
ing Senators held their breaths and af
fected au uuconcern which no one fell, ri
ually Mr. Davis drew himself up, thrust
his clenched fist almost in Mr. Butler's
face, and said "Here, is the man 1 'Ibis
is this class of men who concoct stories
of diabolical Southern outrages, and then
ask for unlimited power to suppress
them. Look at the scoundrel 1 Iiero he
if," aud. his excitement becoming too
great for him, he sank back into his seat,
while the Chair promptly suppressed
some threatening demonstrations which
were attempted iu the galleries.
It being one of those things where in
terference was a very delicate matter, no I
one had tempted anything ot the kind ! memorable occasion., wheu the Mtni

"Oh you scoundrel!. You rascal!" with
a few Btrong adjetives prefacing each epi
thet. "Did you come here to insult met"
Mr. Butler replied, "Go away from me
What do you suppose 1 care about . you 7
Go away." Mr. Davis was just about to
raise his arm to strike Mr. Butler when
Senator Wilson left his own side, hurried
over to the scene of the threatened con;
flict, and, placing himself between the
two men. stopped the disgraceful proceed-
I g at once. Mr. Davis, upon being ap-
pealed to in a calm, considerate way,
cooled down at once and retired iuto ooe
of the Senate ante-rooms. Mr. Butler
however, stalked around ' the Senate
chamber for several minutes' laughing
and talking to this one and that as if
nothing whatever had happened.
When Mr. Davis was asked, later in
the evening, why he gave way "to his
prejudices in snch a conspicuous manner,
he replied that it was very evident to
him that Mr. Butler took his eat there
for no other purpose than to insult him,
and he would allow no man to do that.:
Mr. Butler, ' however. Bays that he no
more thought of Mr Davis wh"n he sat
down thau he did of the man iu the moon,
and never had the least idea of insulting
him . ' ,. ..
An Assault on a Temperance Man.
While Colonel W. F. Canter, of Mo-
quokct. Iowa, was standing in the post
office of that town opening and reading
letters, six men entered, locked the door
inside, and commenced an assault on the
Colonel with clubs. He was knocked
down and beaten so badly that his life is
despaired of- ,
The postmaster, who saw the attack
from inside his office, cried murder. Citi
zens rushed in, and the whole crowd of
ruffians were arrested. CoL Carner has
been outspoken against liquor-selling, and
nearly all his assailants were ' saloon
keepers.

Cur Behind.
Human nature, the same in aboy as in
a man. All running to gain the vehicle of
success. Some are spry, and gain that
for which they strive. ' Others are slow;
and tumble down ; they who fall crying
out agaiust those who mount ''Gut be
hind !"
A political office rolls past. . A multi
tude spring to their feet, and the race is
in. Only one of all tbe numlier reaches
that for which he runs. No t ooner does
he gaiu tbe prize, and begin to wipe the
sweat from hie brow, aud think bow
grand a thing it is" to ride in popular pre
ferment, than tbe disappointed candidates
cry out : "Incompetency ! Stupidity !
Fraud ! Now let the newspapers and
platforms of the country 'Ont behind !' "
There 7s a golden chario: of wealth
rolling down the street. A thousand
people are trying to catch it. They Tun.
They jostle. They tread on ea;h other.
Posh, 'and pull, and tug ! Those talk
most against riches who cannot g'et them.
Clear the track for the racers ! One of
the thousand reaches the gulden priz.
and mounts. Forthwith the air is fu'l
of cries : "Got it by fraud ! Shoddy !
Petroleum aristocracy ! His fatl er was a
rag-picker I nis mother was a washer
woman ! I knew him when be blacken
ed Lis owu shoes ! Pitch him of the
back of tbe golden chsriot ! . C'U-.leh-md .'
