From The Louisville Journal,

A fearful rencontre occurred at the Cali House
in this city on Saturday night. Vnrious conflicting
tumors in regard to il are afloa aud, to avoid err
rurs. we shall only make general statement ofthe
occurrence.
On Saturday evening a difficulty took place be
tween Judge Wkerson, DIR. Wilkerson. and Mr..
MurIaugh all Of Mississippi. and Mr.. Redding, mer-
chant tailor Of tins city, IN regard to some coats
which had been made by the later Tor some Of the
fret named individuals. Redd,ng appears To have
been roughly used, and he went To the Cali House
after night to get redress, accompanied by three or
four of his friends. In the bdr-room he met judge
Wikerson, and some words passed between them.
The Judge retired. aud in a short time returned with
Dr. Wilkerson and Mr.. MuIdaugh, all armed with
Bowie knives. general h-hi almost immediate
~ ensued Mr.. Meek, bar-keeper in the Wall
street House, was struck dead by Bowie knile-
\ similar knife was passed through The lungs of
Mr.. John Rothweil, halter ia this city, who died
last evening. Mr.. Holmes. n Steam boat pilot or
engineer. was also badly cut. In sho,t time a
crowd had collected around the combaianis. and the
Missssppisns retired up the steps OF the Hotel and
one oil them received wound IN his shoulder from
pistol that had been dropped in tile contest. He
returned the fire without effect. We learn that Mr.
kedding aud his friends were unarmed-at least,
they display ell no arms during the conflict. Judge
aud DIR. Wilkerson aud Mr.. Murdoch, were arrested
and placed in confinement.

assumption is so supremacy ridiculous, that we mar.
vel at its adoption by MIR. Calhoun, and indeed by any
man Of common sense. 1t is self-evdcnt, that the
precaution Of requiring Collectors to deposit the

led II to their own uses before it reached the Bank
at all Fo,, il the moneys had been deposited in
the Bank. as fast as it received subject only to
the reasurers draft, not one cent could ever have
been distracted by them-whereas. holding it in
their own hands, they were tempted, by opponunl'
y as well as DESIRE 10 appropriate it to their own
uses; perhaps, with the honest intention OF restoring
II. but certainly with the design Of running away
should the danger OF detect on become imminent
And whal Price and Swartwout have done. Sub
frrasurers will be apt to do hereafter. Nothing
can prevent the repetition Of these defacatons OUT
the Withdrawal OF the public money far as posi-
BILE from individual agency. Let the law be en'of-
ced. by vgant oversight over the coleetors-'et
the Secretary Of the Treasury see that the money
deposited in Banks fast as it is collected TO inc
