HE FEARED DAVIS.
Verbal Encounter Between Senator
Fessenden and Confederate
President.
An episode in the history of the
American senate that happened two
or three years before the civil war
was a dignified, though not a dis
passionate, word wrangle between two
of the leading statesmen then in the
senate.
These were William Pitt Fessenden
and Jefferson Davis, representing re
spectively, the great states of Maine
and Mississippi. It occurred during
a debate on the Kansas-Nebraska bill,
a measure which was prolific in stirr
ing up sensations in both houses of
congress.
The trouble began when the Missis
sippian, in a speech breathing acqui
escence with the position taken by
President Buchanan on the bill under
consideration, declared that Mr. Buch
anan had spoken out like a patriot
and declared that his principles in
that respect stood out in bold relief
in contrast with the views of the sen
ator from Maine in a speech he had
delivered on the measure, which he
(Davis) considered an attack upon the
judiciary which might have the effect
of overthrowing the constitution. This
brought Fessenden promptly to his
feet, and in that keen, incisive style
of his he denied the authority of the
senator from Mississippi to lecture
him on the sentiments he thought
•proper to announce in the senate.
Every debate in those days found
itself tinged and permeated with men
tions of slavery and disunion, and
many of the leading men in the north,
as well as in the south, charged the
respective sides with advocating dis
union. Mr. Fessenden in this discus
sion conceived the idea that Mr. Da
vis had thought proper to place him
in the attitude of an advocate of
disunion. He disavowed any such sen
timents, and asked if Mr. Davis could
say as much.
That made Mr. Davis somewhat an
gry. He became very much excited
and he replied, “Yes, and I have long
sought a respectable man who could
charge the contrary.” Then the Maine
senator said the newspapers repre
sented Mr. Davis as making a speech
in Mississippi in which he declared
that he went into President Pierce’s
cabinet (in which he was secretary of
war) a disunion man. He didn’t have
the paper, but could produce the pa
per into which the extract was copied.
Mr. Davis’ reply to this was that it
was false, no matter where the state-

ment came from, and Mr. Fessenden
said so far as he was concerned he
made no accusation. Mr. Davis, he
said, had accused him of seeking
to overthrow the constitution. That
is why he felt it justice to himself
to put the question asking if Mr. Da
vis could say that he was not an ad
vocate of a dissolution of the union,
and for a time the debate continued
with rapier-like keenness.
Mr. Davis, in the course of his re
marks, said he did not know whence
sprung the habit of accusing him of
intending to intimidate senators. He
never endeavored to intimidate any
one, and did not believe that anybody
was afraid of him.
“I am,” spoke out Mr. Fessenden,
and there was a roar of laughter. The
cleancut controversy was beginning to
look farcial.
“I am sorry to hear of it. I shall
never again reply in a decided and
firm tone to the senator.” This was
from Mr. Davis, and Mr. Fessenden
explained his fear, “I speak of it on
ly in an intellectual point of view,”
he remarked.
The rather fiery dispute came an
end when Mr. Davis said: “Then,
sir, the senator was in a Pickwickian
sense when he began. There were no
threats and no intimidations, and he
is just where he would have been if
he had said nothing.”—Exchange.

THE CACKLING HEN.
A hen was cackling like all possessed,
Till she worried the others off the nest.
“What’s up?” asked one; “has she
hid an egg?”
“Oh, r ” said the rooster, “go back,
I i.
Just a l ’nstorm.”
And so wit. its and lots of men
Who make a, racket as did the hen;
With never a thing they might brag
about.
They stand around and gabble and
shout
In a brainstorm.
