Radical .Amenities.
It was funny—the holy horror with
which tho Radical House of Represen
tatives lifted up their pious hands and
cast their devout eyes at John Young
Brown for pulling the hide off of that
precious old scamp, Butler. But it is
funnier still the way they laugh at
Judgo Poland, tho straight-heed old
gentleman from Vermont, who wears
a blue swallow-tailed coat, with brass
buttons down before, for telling this
same precious scoundrel that he lied.
Here is the way it happened, as we find
it in the New York Times:
During tho night session, Messrs. Po
land and Butler were discussing pri
vately upon the lloor which measure,
the Arkansas report or tho force bill,
ought to take precedence, when General
Butler said:
“ I do n’t believe you have any desire
or intention te get your resolution upon
Arkansas before the House.”
To that Judge Poland replied. “ You
have no right to say that. What evi

General Butler—None, perhaps, but
I believe it.
Judge Poland—I don’t bolievo that
you believe what you say you believe.
General Butler—I do believe it.
Judge Poland—I believe that you
are a d d liar.
General Butler—My courage, sir, has
never been impeached. I am quite
able to resent an accusation like that.
You had better he careful.
Judge Poland—I don’t think I have

under the influence of their resolvents.
