Claflin pere and Clafllin wiorc ap
pear to be a sourco of considerable
trouble to their affectionate offspring
Miss Tcnnie Claflin recently appeared
at a police court in New-York city and
complained that her venerable parents
wero thorns in tlio aidos of herself and
sister Victoria. Tlieso poor crcaturos
aro to be pitied, since their virtuous
struggles in the path of propriety are
so rudely disturbed by their pestiferous
parents. But really Mrs. Woodhull
hould have brought the old folks up
better.
The Springfield Regittcr sometime
binco suggested that tho general laws of
the state should bo published in ono
newspaper in each county of the state.
The Chicago Poll endorses tho propo
titiou with great heartinoss. Having
procured tho city printing of Chicago
by buying the aldormon, tho "fire
proof aldermen of that chastened but
not altogether purified city, perhaps
the i'oit indulges a hope that it can
buy tho legislature, too, and got tho
printing of the state laws, if tho plan
suggested by tho Register were adop-
ted.
Since the fall of Tammany, " mu

that city bids fair to become noted for

Tlio Washington correspondent of tho
Now York World has lmd n prolonged In
terview with Col. Lowls D.Cnmplioll, rep
resentative oi tlio third Ohio district, and
tho successor of Gen. Schcnck. Col.
Ciimpboll was in congress continuously
from 1818 to 1858, and n portion of tlio
conversation was dovotcd to recollections
of those years. In regard to tho assault
of li rooks on Sumner, and tho Brooks-
Uurllriijamo duel affair which grow out of
it, tun loiiowing convocation took placo:
Correspondent You know something
about tlio assault of Ilrooks on Sumner?
Campbell A great deal. I got to the
scnato chamber just as thev wero carry
ing Sumner out. I washed tho blood off
his faco and brought him to consciousness.
I was tho first person ho recognized, and
1 held tho scalp to the proper placo whilo
Llin stirrroon (Vr. llovlo) olltcied unit dross-
Oil tho wounds. Tho next day 1 moved
an investigation, for which I wn threat
ened with punishment nnd death by Homo
of tho excited parties, and had to go arm
ed for self-defence. I was chairman of
tho committee that investigated tho mat-
tor and rcnortcd a resolution for tho ox
pulsion of Ilrooks. Somo Interesting fact
connected with this affair within my know
iC(go liavo novcr yet been made public.
Correspondent AVhy not give them
out?
o
Campbell I don't sco what good it
would do. Nobody would bo mado hap
pier wero I to discloso them. Sumner
novcr appreciated my sorviccs as a good
Samaritan, and subsequently, when ho hod
an opportunity of being my friond, ho was
mv bitter enemv.

him.
Camnbull llu seemed to liavo amnio

with lirooKP. u lien no was arrested
horn I bocniiio his bail. 'J'iio peculiar cir

quent conduct modillcd my opinions on
this point very much. It would bo a lon;
story to givo tlio unpublished account of
these matters, ond tho undor-currants that
woro nt work. Besides, it would not bo
propor now to go into thorn. I will sny
this, howovpr, that tho reading community
wero more humbugged by the nowspapcr
sensations ns to tho protracted danger of
Sumner's soro head, and tho extraordi
nary exploits of Mr. Burlingamo in tho
ilrooks ullair, than upon any other two
subjects tlmt havo been written upon.
Correspondent If tho qtiostlou bo not
impertinent, -Mr. Campbell, I should llko
to know how you got along without being
challongod 7
Campbell Well, personally, I think
many of tho southern members rather liked
mo. jjesidos, l was Known uy them to bo
a llrst-rato shot with pistol and rifle, and
perhaps thoy wero foolish enough to bo-
novo mat 1 might light It cornered. These
fuels may huvo operated as a protection to
somo extent. I wus several times threat
oned, but nov received but ono hostilo
document of . o kind.
Correspondent Oh, you woro dial.

Campbell Tho best platform 1 h avn
ovor known was that of tho union or Bell-
hvorett party of 18G0 "Tho union, tho
constitution, and tho enforcement of tho
laws." But generally wordy platforms
aro great humbugs. Tho masses forget
them, and politicians sot them nsido aftor
mo election, a good illustration of this
is presented by tho action of tho repub
lican party. When thoy nominated Grant
In 18C8, at Chicago, about tho first plunk
of their platform declared that tho "ques
