Dear Sir,-I have been waiting with all the impa-
thence Of deferred love, for something decisive in
relation to our election; but all is yet darkness,
doubt and mystery. One day the wings have the
majority, and are paradng, Illuminating, and dis.
playing their appreciation in various ways while
the locos, poor devils, look down in the mouth, and
seem disposed to say little about it as possible
merely remarking that nothing be depended on
yet. The next mail brings additional news, and the
locos in the majority. 1t is now their turn TO
crow while the wings make long faces, and re-
assert "there is nothing yet to be depended upon
On Thursday last cach-had majority Of about 900
on Friday morning, dem scratic majority 23S and
this morning at 10 o'clock, there was wing MAORI.
ty of % votes have not heard the state Of the ba
rometer since dinner but will send you the latest
to the mail hour, properly should have the OFF,
cal returns from Harrisburg this afternoon.
About ii A. NJ this morning disgrac eful scene
took place in the criminal sessions presence Of all
three of the judges, Barton Doron and Conrad " no
were sitting in babco. j. G. Sedgerbeer al Sedgery
said TO be bscondng debtor from your state, had
been committed by Alderman Mitchell for psrloin-
ing seine letters from MIR. A. Lombard. Those let
tiers said to contain ample evidence Of fraudulent
insolvency the part OF Sedgberry, aud con
| sequsntly matter Of importance to him. Mr.. l..
| refused TO give them UP, and u struggle ensued.
Sedsberry drew a formidable weapon, in the shape
Of pistol with barrels, all heavily charged, and
dirk attached beneath. He was finally arrested and

judges, when MIR. Brewster arose and stated, in re
laiion to something Mr.. H. had asserted, :" that nc
such thing bad taken place"

blew followed the word in about half minute after
The Court Immediately ordered Mr., Hubble into
arrest for eontemPN A rude also served upon
him TO show cause WHY he shouId mot be stricEcr
from the roll Of the bar They were both respect
able and able members Of the bar. Hubble is warn
friend, but he IL irritable, and most bitter enemy.
While Brewster, though not so easily irritatsd, Is
stern uufinc hing man, no would not quietly brook
an insult from any hence II Is but too probable
that something more serious may arise from IL. The
Court after they had finished their business, de-
ferred this case until Monday, and finally Mr.. Bah.
BILE was released upon assurance for his appearance
then. The whole proceeding took place in the pre-
scnce OF the Court, and Judge Barton, irrita-
BILE than either Of the bsgerents, was the point
Of doaing the ermine, and inficting summary pun
ishment on the aggressor and had the insult been
offered TO him. IN sure he would have forgotten
his dignity entirely.
The D'Hautvilie case has been deferred until
next Saturday or Monday at farthest, hen the OPT
MON Of the court will be given Eldridse's case
will probably last until thursday next. This ease
does not deserve, nor weuld IL take so much tine,
but the fate ofthe other nineteen bills against him.

mornings, tobacco pipe, which some misehevous
boy had tied there with blue yarn, over night.
There are O number Of murder eases before the
present Court Of Oyer and Temner Some Of them
are Of importance, but most Of them will get clear
M.-Truly the political barometer is vsria-
BILE to-day. At this hour Van Buren, claims 263 ma

exut their gain IN the reduction But the fact
is that there is official returns from Potter, ie-
Kean Clarien Counties yet. Ifthey should arrive
