WASHINGTON, April I3.-In the u. S. Cir
cult Court to-day, an interesting libel suit COM
menced. The parties were Gen. Weightman,
now Chief Clerk of the Patent Office, and
Lieut.. Barney, of the Navy. Barney's wife
was formerly Miss De Kraft, of whom Weight
man was guardian. On the eve of the Mayor s
election, two years since, when Weightman
was candidate against Lennox, publca-
ton was issued by Barney, charging Weight
man with gross mismanagement of his wife's
estate. Hence the suit. Messrs. Bradley and
hey are counsel for the prosecution, Chiffon
and Linton for defendant.
