    Fighting Candidates for Congress. – At a political meeting recently held in Plymouth, Illinois, some words passed between Isaac N. Morris, the Democratic candidate for Congress in the Fifth district, and Jackson Grimshaw, the Republican candidate, when the latter invited Mr. Morris out to fight. He declined, and applied some opprobrious remark to his antagonist, when Mr. Grimshaw rushed towards him, but was seized by some friends, and a large bowie knife taken from his possession.
