On Thursday, July 15, Congressmen Cobb, of Indiana, and Laird,of Nebraska, were disputing on the public land question which agitated the house a few weeks since. Laird called Cobb a liar the Housier rephed by challenging the Nebraskan to come down off the legis- lative floor and he would test his ability to mamntain his charge of “liar.”” Both men started for the basement to fight there, Friends interfered and turn the belligerents backward toward the lobby While the men were returning Laird re peated his insulting nd both said you are a_perjur aird instantly struck Cobb. a heavy blow and drew blood from his lips. We lack space to comment at present upon the character of this altercation, but we are compelled to stigmatize the conduct of Mr ird as brutal and un- manly. Brutal because there was no ment in the case that forced a physical ssault, and the motive to action was not born of honorable defense of ch Laird was unmanly because after friends had collared him and were for ing him back from =o childish a busine: Laird struck him at a gres sadvan- tage when he was not in an attitude to defena himself and actually under friendly and peaceable arrest. ‘Common sense pronounces this a cowardly at- tempt to take advantage of his antagonist in a dishonorable way. But much higher considerations those enter the euse, Fir both men brutalized themselves and their high oflice such conduct. The position of some, even o few papers, that a blow of the fist or a show of pistols settles the e and has a peaceable tendency, is wholly false. It settles nothing. But in the oase of Brooks years agowho developed a challenge from Burlingame, 1t always lowers the moral tone of con: gress and increases confusion, Second! Ir. Laird had abundant means of vindication if he be innocent of the Stinking water charges. His attempr in this foolish, cowardly way to defend his character places hin beyond the range of a moral and intelligent constitiency; and the act ought least to forfeit his stand- ing with a Christian people who should henceforth select an honorable man to represent them at Washington. - Sherman Had the Pocketbook, Columbus Dispatch: “Senator,” said astrange gentleman, addressing Hon.

The clouds began to break away at 7 o'clock and the shafts of sunshine that broke through the rifts sending down flashes of heat that made the labor on their way to work long for Sunday and the parks. All the street cars on their downtown trips during the day were packed with sweltering, freiting passen- gers, who poked their elbows in cach other's ribs and faces when wiping the perspiration from their heated, sun- scorched brows., The horses that pulled tie cars along hung their heads as if weary of life, while their sides and flanks grew white with lather.

So far they have been eminently unsuceessful. he first clue they discovered was the pair of shoes which the fellow had lost in trying to make his escape. They were rough cowhide aflaits—something on the plow shoe order. They did not have any marks showing the maker, sell owner. They looked something like the shoes commonly worn by the negroes of the lower class, but the burglar was not an_Ethiopian, as Mr, S i willing to make oath. A fellow with his arm in a sling was seen sneaking about Hellman’s residence t. Mary's avenue this morning. It was thought that he might be the burglar. Ofiic was des- patehed to the scene, but could not find the fellow. It is just possible that the burglar have gono to somo doctor in the city b to have his wound dressed, and from that circumstance, if the phpsician bo communicative enough, a clue may be obtained. So far, however, the “attending physician’’ has not filed his report with Marshal Cam- ming: Mr. Sussenbach is feeling somewhat wenk after his sharp ssle. His hands still show the powder rks. Mr. Sus- senbach says heis unable to furnish an accurate deseription of the follow, exeept that he was 2 young man. He would be utterly unable to identify him. After the Durgiars, Nearly every voliceman on the foree, headed by Marshal Cummings, spent the day yesterday in search of the man who committed the dastardly attempt at bur- glary of Mr, Sussenbach’s rooms on Seventcenth strect early yesterday morn- ing. The parks in the southern part of the city and the timber around the packing houses were thoroughly searched, but no tangible trace of the fellow could ve secured. The only clue that was at all reliable was obtained at the grocery store near McCoy’s saloon where a man entered abont 6 o’clock ye terday morning and asked for some lard with “which to rub his arm, which he said he had burned on a gasoline stove. The boy who filled the fellow’s order noticed that his sleeve was covered with blood. Mr. Sussenbach is feeling somewhat woak after his sharp tussel. His hands still show the powder marks, and he says he is unable to furnish an accurate deseniption of the fellow, except that he was_a young man.

Responsibilitics Resting on Them, and the Care Which They Must Take. Pittsburg Chronicle T'elegraph sidering the responsibility impos train dispateher,” said an official Union station this morning, *1t i surprising how few accidents happen which can be traced to them. Just K at the trains which arrive and de from this stxtion every twenty-tour hours. The number is simply bewildering to the ge patron who passes in and out y day, and we frequently hear ex- pressions of wonder how the trains are handled so as to keep out of each other’s v The train dispatcher must be & man thoroughly acquainted with every foot of the road over which he controls the trains, and he must, maintain a cool head in order to accom- plish the work assigned. Of ecourse the systsm now in use on the Pennsylvan Yailroad reduces the labors of the, dis pateher, as well as the liability of ac dents, but still the work is arduous and the responsibility of the grayest chars ter. On some roads, howeyer, the entire work depends on the carve and aecurney of dispatchers, and when he mnkes o mis- take the results are most serious. Tne greatest number of accidents are the re sult of trainmen out on the line, not un- derstanding their orders, and frequently from watches stopping. — In 1878 the flrst Mingo disaster on the Panhandle, which thirteen pe r was caused by the sccond Mingo i and resulted sh n misunderstanding of orders, There is a singu romeldence connected with those wr Both occurred on the hin 100 yards of each other.
