SUPERIOR CoURr; June 23.-Before Judge Jones'
Leach and Johnson persuS jeremiah J. Hamilton.
This was an action to recover of the defendant the
sum of S6235, alleged to be due to the plaintiffs. The
cause of the suit follows:
The efendant, J. J. Hamilton, has been CLOSELY
connected with the plaintiffs in various mercantile
Transactions in the course of which the plaintiffs had
become indebted 10 him in the sum of Sl4 265 o.
AS security for this debt, the plaintiffs made over
The steamboat Sandusky, note for $780, two paint
ngs and other articles. Somewhere about the 23d of
Marcn. 1886, the defendant wished to come to a set
tement and tcllered his account, giving notice that
unless his demand was lquidaed that he would sell
the steamboat, the agreement given MN by the
plaintiffs authorizing him TO do So Accordingly the
steamboat PCT ZIP at auction by Messrs Holman,
the aaconeers but no bid could be obtained for her.
Hamilton then sold her TO Capt. De Groot for the
sum of $500, and furnished the plaintiffs with an
account, wherein this sale was set forth, and il was
contended that 1t was conceded in by the plaintiffs
The note had been collected, for which credit was
Company, the sum really received being $500, bat
the overplus the defendant claimed as his allotted
share of this transaction.
At this period the defendant, Hamilton, offered to
receive notes for tn amount he claimed to be due
him, $4,000, if accepted or endorsed by Dawes d.
gotiation subsequently fell through. 1t was on the
failure of this negotion that the Sandusky was sold to
Captain De Greot. Subsequently, the boat was sold
TO Mr. Dea6eld for $40 60e or rather bartered for
that sum- Mr.. Delafield making over a farm and ap-
purenances, valued at $4,000, in Poughkeepsle to
Mr.. Hamilton, and Mr. Hamilton making over three
lots, valued at $4,000 each, to Mr. Delafeld, being
$2400O
This transaction then stood thus

Postscript.
THURSDAY, Dec

THURSDAY, Dec. 81.
When | closed my letter last night,
the meeting Of the members OF Con-
gress from the Slayeholding States,
was still in session at the Capitol.
After the House broke up in great
excitement and confusion, about hall
past two P. Nj, this Southern Conven-
ton. as it may be called, assembled IN
the District Committee Room. There
was a speech from Mr.. CALHOUN
another from Governor PoPE-and
some remarks were made by Mr..
CUrHBERr, Mr.. REvcHER, and other
gentlemen; and then they adjourned till
seven o'clock.
The meeting at the hour was very
full. Most of the representatives, from
the Slaveholding States were present,
and all the Senators from those States
except HENRY CLAY and Mr.. BENTON.
Several propositions were offered and
discussed with calmness ard modera-
ton. A number of able and animated
speeches were made. Messrs. PRES
TON, CALHOUN, CRITTENDEN & RIvEs
from the Senate, and Messrs. WISE,
M1NIFEE, md CALHOUN Of Kentucky,
from the House, were among those
who participated in the debates.
Mr.. PATTON, of Virginia, presided
as Chairman.
The result Of their deliberations was
to appoint Mr.. PATTON to offer, this
morning, after the journal is read, reso-
l|utions- similar to those of Mr.. PINcK-
NEy's at the session before last-that
all petitions, memorials, &c. &c. refer
ring to the abolition of slavery or the
slave trade, be laid on the table with
cut reading and without debate. lfthe
House does not agree to this disposition
of the subject, the Southern members
will, at another meeting, determine up
their course.
