BIS CHECKERED CAREER—DYING IN rove AFTER MANY YEAKS OF PROSPERITY. James Madison Tarleton, of whom mention was made tn yesterday's Srar as having been taken to the Central Police Station in a dying conaition, and subsequently removed by dirve lion of Mrs. Shepherd her residence, No. + street. for proper care, died there about 0 o'clock last eveuing. He was born in New Hampshire and educated at Concord, receiving 4 liberal education. and afterwards entered the coiton trade at Mobile, Alabama, where he uc- cumuiated a large fortune, but was usfortunate, and failed tn is42, leaving him without a dollar. In 1850 he was appotated assistant postmaster at Concord, New Hampshire, by Gen. Lowe, postmaster. where he renewed his acqtaintance with the leading, politicians of that state, among them. Geueral Frank Pierce, who, atter nis election as President of the United < States, appointed Mr. Tarleton as consujtv Melbourne, which position he retained untilnear the close of President Buchanan's administration, On his return to this country he made his home in the south, and at the breaking out of the war he removed north, be- ins a strong union man though a democrat, and thenceforth became a devided republican. Under President Johnson he was appointed to the collectorship of Mobile, but was removed by Gen. Grant. Since that time he has been reduced to poverty, depending to a great extent on charity for bis support. Mr. ©. B. Burke, keeper of a restaurant corner 13% and D streets, gave him the use of a room, where he bas been lodging for three or four years, taking his meals at Mr. Burke's most of the ume. Among his private papers were found many of interest, some from his Wife, and two friendly and confidential letters from President Pierce. one bearing date at B03- ton, July 15, is46, and the second one from Concord, February i, Is47. Papers showing his good standing in society at Melbourne were also found, among them cards of invitations to many fashionable gatherings.

THE NATION L ARENA, PISTOLS, KNIVES, STICKS, FISTS AND EPITTOONS IN CONGRESS. The Sparks-Weaver scrimmage in the House the other day was not a very creditabie a‘fair, but does not by any means come up to the belligerent mark of preceding seenes of tne kind at the National Capital. Some of these exciting affairs may be briefly recapitulated. Mr. Reuben M, Whitney came to Washington at the lnvitation of President, Jackson, to assist as @ contributor in the @’ome in the work of destroying the Bank of the United States. He Was summoned as a witness before a committee appointed to investigate the administration of the executive office. He refused to attend, and was arraigned before the House for ths con- tempt. Whitney’s excuse was that he coud hot attend the committee for fear of danger to his "life from the violence of the members. Mr. Peyton, of Tennessee, a member of the committee, as it appeared from tne evidence, had taken offence at an answer of Mr. Whitn and broke out In tue committee in these words: “Mr. Chairman, [wish you would inform this Witness that he 13 not to insult me in his aa- swers; If he does, £ will take his life on the spor.” ‘The witness clalmed the protection of u mittee, on Which Mr. Peyton exclaim: You shan’t speak; you shan’t say one word’ wutle you are Ip this room; if you do I will put you to death” Henry A.

On the 29th of January, 1835, an attempt was Made to assassinate General Jackson on the Portico of the Capitol, at a funeral ceremsny, by Richard Lawrence, a painter by trade, and resident of Washington. He exploded two caps on the pistols in the attempt. The pistols were afterwards found to be well-loaded, and Sackson’s escape was constdered miraculous, ‘The wonid-be-assassin was Knocked dowo und laken into custody. General Jackson aiways belleved that this act_was perpetrated at the lnstigation of some of the friends of the Bank. Prior to this, tn i833, General Jacksoa was assaulted while sitting down. reading a news- paper, on the boat at Alexandria, but th inends of the assafiant succeeded in getting him out of the way in good time. It was tn these days that Henry A. Wise made an ugly face at Speaker Polk on the street and Spat at him. THE CILLEY-GRAVES DUBL. In February, 153s, Mr. Cilley, of Maine, charged in his speech in the House that James Watson Webb, editor of the New York Courier and Enquirer, had recetved a bribe of fitty-two thousand dollars trom the Bank of the Unt States.

S IN THIS crty. Several days since Mr. L. M. Cole, general Ucket agent for the Baltimore and Ohio Rall- road Company, missed a package of through Uckets to Nevraska, trom his office In Baitimore, and every effort was made to account, for ineir joss, without afall. Subsequently one of the Uckets, which had been used and canceled, was returned to his office in settlement, and it was found that it bore upon its face the impression of a forged stamp, bearing the date on which it purported to have been sold. The services of detectives were called into the case, which has led to the fact that the stamp was made in this city, where several of the stolen and forged tickets were sold to sealpers, and by them sold, in good falth, to customers at reduced rates. Some of the victims to the fraud are known, but none of the guilty ones have been ‘found out. Mr. Cole, with some sharp detectives, was in lhe City yesterday, endeavoring to get the right parties, and have been assisted by officers here, without success however. The scalpers here, it 1s believed, were entirely innocent of the fraud in which they ignorantiy participated.

It was In April, 1850, when the compromise measures were under discussion that the scene between Foote and Benton took place in the Senate. Feote was making a specch and mak- ing allusion to Benton Benton rose hasttly from his seat, pushing his chair violently from h'm, and witnout remark or gesture moved up the aisle toward Foote, who Was about twenty feet distant. Benton had no weapon tn his hand or upon his person. Foote perceiving Benton's movement, advanced to meet him, drawing and cocking a five-chambered revoi- ver. Members intervened and order was re- stored. Benton said a pistol had been brougat to assassinate him. Foote replied he had only brought it for self-defense. Benton replied that was always the pretext of an assassin. TBE SET-TO BETWEEN CHURCHWELL AND CULLUM. In i854, Churchwell and Cullum had their “set-to” in the House. Churchwell pronounced language used by Cullum to be infamously false. Cullum, who sat about fifteen feet from Churchwell, sprang from his seat with both fists upraised, and exclaiming, “G—d d—n you, you d—n rascal,” tried to “get at” him. Cullum said Churchwell drew a pistol on him. The Speaker pounded; the Sergeant-at-Arms fumed and—/eld up his mace! But calm succeeded, as it always does—atfter a time. THE ASSAULT OF PRESTON 8. BROOKS UPON CHARLES SUMNER. It was on the 22d of May, 1856, that Preston S. Brooks, a member of the House from South Carolina, came into the Senate chamber and knocked down and beat Senator Sumner, from Massachusetts, before he could rise from his chair, The anticipated attack was knowa to Edmundson, of Virginia, and Keltt, of Souch Carolina, who were both present when it took place. The country has not yet forgotten it, uor have its influences yet died away. Brooks afterwards challenged Senator Henry Wilson, who was opposed to the code. He also chal- lJenged Burlingame, who accepted and named the Canada side at N! ‘@ Fall there. Brooks declined to meet Burlingame at that point, alleging that the place of meeting had been expressly named because it would be imposelble for him to be present. A WAR OF WAFERS. In the same year a scene occurred in the House between Mr. Sherman, of Ohio, (now Secretary Sherman) and Mr, Wright, of Ten- Ressee. Sherman tried to throw a handful of wafers in Wright’s face, whea Wright made an attempt to strike him. Confusion and excite- ment prevailed for @ moment but was soon allayed. A REGULAR ROUGH AND TUMBLE ROW took place in the House on the 5th of February during the discussion of the Lecompttn consti- tution. During a wild, excited and incoherent debate. Keitt, of south Carolina, struck Grow, of Pennsylvania, and a scuffle ensued. They were separated and again met. Keltt 8gain struck Grow, and Grow knocked him down. The combat deepens! The respect've Iriends of the parties rush to the fray! Blows fall thick and fast. Washburne, of IL, and Potter, of Wis., tower among the combatants. At this cr tical juncture Covode, of Pa., selzes a Spittoon. He balances it for a moment in the alr. The objective potnt is the head of Barks- dale, of Miss., who is approaching him of the Spittoon in a menacing attitude. Bur Barks- #iaie’s wig falls off, and Covode lowers his sus- bended missile. Meanwhile the sergeant-at- arms 1s running here and there, “like the Wit,” exhibiting his mace—without effect. The conversation which led'to this melee and awak- ened the sleeping members was in this wise: Grow was on the side of the House occupied by the southern members, and objected man’s uakiby any. ated eis ees are tool Teturn to your own side the House es responded: “This is a free hall; every man has a right to be where he Pleases.”" Keitt then came nearer to Grow and said; 1 want to know what you mean by such #n answer as that?” Grow replied, repeating What he had said before. Keltt Grow by ‘he throat, saying: ‘I will let you know that you are a damned black republican puppy.” Grow knocked up his hand, exclaiming: “1 shell occupy suck Place in this hall as I please, and ng ee pe driver ce elas his es over me.” again and again his asa, was Knocked en? Keitt came at him, Grow squarely him down. It was near two o'clock 10 themorning when these “proceedings” took place, PRYOR AND POTTER. It was in 1869 that Pryor declined to ight Potter with bowie knives.
