Broolyn EDk, 1em.
John 13. Gordon, of Georgia, is a
little larger than S. B. Crittondon.
Roscoo Conkling, of New York, is a
little smaller than Cloopatra's needle.
Generid Goirdon is an export shot,
and can make a gold ring out of a
gold dollar with a riflo aIl, in nine
timcs out of ten. Hre is al.wo an ac
comlplislied rid'or and swordsman,
and can lift his steed over a stone
wall and cut off a clover top with his
sabro )ef,)re tho horse reaches the
ground on tho other side. Roscoa
Conling is an excellent gynaIst
and boxer. He can put a two hun
dred pound dub-bell, is unsur- I
passed on the flying trapeze, and
with or without the gloves can
tonch any man vio stands bOfore
him, at any point from the front of
the diaphai'm to the iotlier side of
the lft car. Mr. Gordon's best
yoars hoe been spen,lt in "coiquer
ing a peaco in the field," and there
Ftro seven w1oulinds in his b0dy-hu
being apparently one of those per
sons to whom fato gives as many
hints not to go to war as fato knows
how. Mr. Conkling has also had a
brilliant military experienco in ad
drcssing returned volunteers, and in
invading General IWoodford's pecu
liar province of rallying the poaceful
pnblic on behalf of "The Soldiers'
Homo." His "torso" has led in the
torllnamlelt of jaw like the claymore
.f Gordon or tho white pluimo of
Henry of Navarre, in the ensan~
,uined plain and up the hostile hill.
With such a background of belligor-,
micy, these two porSons, made into
iclators on account of the foats of
valor they have performed, came
into livo lingual collison yesterday.
It was in that seanco of billings .
gntc and oflico-grabbing which is
called an executive sossion. Thoro
was pending what is called a calon
clar--boing the nominations report
ed from committees in the order of
their report. . The Senato Comniit.
tee on Commerco, soic days ago,
had favorably reported on one Smith
to be collector of Mobile. The
pAIsant Spencer, whIo represents
Adabama in about as real a son.o as
Reddy the Blacksmith conld ever
have represented the E piscopal
bench of Bishops, had obtained this
report on Smith, and yielding to the
carpot-bamggcr's~ characteristic when
encountering the prloper'ty of othiers,
had put it in his pocket. Of right
it ought to have been at the head of
the calendar. In fact, it was not there
at aill, and unless it was got there
out of Spencer's poecket, it would
Lose its p)lace and "go over" till after
January 15, to which time the
Sonato was about to adjourn.
Gordon, therofore, drew atten
tion to the fact that among the
portable property of ot- ,r people
which Spencer had abont himl was
that commit tee's favorall r'epor t
an Smith. Several Senators had
their personal nominees p)ending,
too, but they were all duily "calen
:lared." So some of them with one
iccord said ; "Go on with the cal
rjndar," the same ais less puIblic and
inore gentlemanly peop)le, in more
oshpectable meetings, say: "Ques
tion, question," etc Among those
who spoke the loudest, and of
sourse, the most imperiously, for
the Tr~ibune is a recent authority to
the effect that he does everything in
i royal, masterful, Rutledge--like I
nanner, was Mr. Conkling, the cof
ree mill qualities of whose voice had
i very grating effect upon the seven
wvounds and the one Smith of Gor-.
Ion, of Georgia. Seeing that Wil..
iam Anxiety Wheeler was huaston
ng to do just what Mr. Conkling's
bones directed be done--that is is
mning an order to proceed wvith the
3alenda r-Gordon reomarked, it is saidl,
that ho hoped the Sonate could do
ts own.. business without heeding
the orders of the Senator from
NTow York to the Ohaire. William
A.nxiety Wheeler said nothing.
Sinco he unexpectedly found hirm
so.f in Thomnas A. Hendrix's proper ty
bie has got used to little refleotions
of that kind. Ent Conkling satd
that if tho Senator from Goorgia
said that the Senator from New
York was giving order to tho Chair,
then the Senator from Goorgia said
what was untrue.
At this point thoro was what was
called "a scono." Blaino happen
ing to havo one more Mulligan lot
ter in his coat--tail pockot, looked
round for a soft spot on the carpot,
whero ho could fall, if he thought
prudent to havo sunstroke. Pat
terson bothought himsolf of run
nmg over tho Long Bridgo, but ro
flectod that ho might enconntor a
South Carlina requisition the mo
mont his Pennsylvania person and
his Natick boots carried his Wash
ington storo clothes and his Now
York nook tio to Virginia soil,
Other Sonators wero ponotrated by
quito as livoly omotions. Gordon
added in a bapso pr'tufdo : "We
ean sottle this elsowhero." Conk
!hig rejoined in a tenoge robusto :
"Wo can settlo the matter horo and
now." "Hore and now" are always
impressivo. From Conkling they
iii.e blood.-urdling. There was
evidently a vital differonco of opin
ionl betweel the Sonators on an
adverb of timlo and placo, and such
grammiatical issues will always sx
cito the honorable body. But the
two bolligoronts said no more.
Gordon knew that his ri(lo was in
the cloak room, his bowioknifo had
been sent out to be ground, his
revolvers woro in his other panta
loons' pockets, lie had loaned his
sword to the proprietor of Willard's
Hotel to slico boiled hain with, and
his mountain howitzer, which he
ordinarily carrios on his hip, was in.
uso as a cuspador at Wallace's dosk.
HLe was, thereforo, unarmed, and his
Iivo feet four and his one hundred
anC twenty,six pounds wore in favor
of some other timo and "elsewhere."
Conkling realizod that Gordon's
extronoty was his opportunity. Ho
nicely calculated the distance from
tho floor to the coiling, and he
estimatod that lie could sling
ILhe Georgian through the roof in
a scoond, at tho rate which would
land tho remaindor of him that did
not. adhero to the painted glass, at
the Relay House, in about a minute
%nd a half. Feeling therefore all
his Oneida potency and all his
Biowery Boy activity stirring in him,
lus six foot two and his two hundred
ind twenty pounds wore in favor of
'horo and now."
Mr. Thurman, however, poured
i1 on the troubled waters, and Mr.
[-amlin poured waters on the
Iroubled oil. It was very much
ocgrotted that any such scone had
)ccurred, and overy Senator solemn
ly engaged to say nothing about it.
>utside, on account of which pledge
the whole country is enabled to
.now all about it to-day. It will be
)bservcd that Mr. Gordon's desire.
to settlo something with a big man
Alsowhore was not reciprocated by
N[r. Conkling. It will be observed
that;Mr. Conkling's desira to turn
tme Chamber into a ring, to settle
iomnething here and now, with a
little man, was not reciprocated
y M~r. Gordon. lint the best part
>f' the whole business is the oppor
tunity tIhe incid3nt gives to news
Piapors without any manners of
thcir own, to talk about the "plan
Lation" hind, and that is not unlike..
y to he followed by other journals,
n the other side of a hypothetical
ine, rating the careful timed and
~onditional defiance of Mr. Conk
ing, as charaeteristic of a class who
re always willing to light when and
vhore they can't, and never when
mud where they can. There is no
Ioubt that Gordon's swift insinua
ion that William Anxiety Wheeler
vas receiving orders from Conkling
~vas an unparliamentary-and unjus
ifiablo as it was not improbably
rue. There is no dou bt that.
Jonkling's heroic and hypothetical..
mr'ling of the hatchet of defiance at
ior'don was in the finest and
safost style of the Sonator. The
'elsewhere" and the "here and now"
vhich were the afterthoughts of the
it the bantam and the al titud inous.
hanghai, we have already shown
~he reasons for.
It is pretty certain, however, that.
heo imp)rovemnent- ofnocoasion fel~
ows can fine little to improve in this
iffair. Gordon's injudicious arrow,
>f which the point was felt by
Wheeler and the whizz heard by
Jonkling, was not even charao
eoristic of himself, let alone of his
section and colleagues. Ho and
boey have endured actual carpet
baggery so long that mere. words.
