The Daily Dispatch: January 16, 1861., [Electronic resource], Contradicted. (search)
Contradicted. --The reported altercation between General Scott and Mr. Toombs is authoritatively contradicted. There were but eight persons at the table on the occasion, one of whom, a well known gentleman of this city, says there was not the least foundation for the report. The facts are as follows: General Scott, Senators Toombs and Benjamin, and others, dined at the house of Mr. Corcoran on Wednesday, and the Southern Senators denounced the Union with insane passion. Mr. Toombs wished that the Star of the West could be sunk, but no discourtesy was offered to Gen. Scott, and no difficulty ensued. Gen. Scott has authorized a denial of the report which has been circulated.--N. Y. Express.
