Representativa Manly has been an enthusiastic advocate of the University bill ever since he bas been in the legislature. Everybody has conceded this but none thought that he would resort to a pugilistic argument to get the appropriation passed. Bat it seems that he has by the following trom the Detroit Tribune, of Wednesday morning : "This evening as Representatives Manly, Harringtou, Lincoln and Crocker and some outsiders were looking over the bill in the house Private Secretary Campbell came near, when he was twitted in a joking way with beinc; the author of the veto message and with being hostile to the University. Some discussion followed when Capt. Manly turned to Campbell, and shaking a paper very near his person, charged him with being on the floor of the house every day of the session lobbying against the bill. Campbell denied it, and Manly repeated the aceusation. Campbell then said : " You are a liar," and Manly struck him in the face. Manly, then made a motion as if to repeat the blow, when Campbell grabbed him and bystanders separated them. Campbell denies that he has been active in opposition to the bill and 8ays he has even refused to give nis opiniĆ³n when asked."
