THE HoN. T. F. MARsHALL-CoNTEMpT OF CoURr--The Cinnati Enquirer is responsible for the following:
 "Hon. Thos. F. Marshall Qate member of Congress from Kentucky was defending man charged with murder, in Jessamine county. Judge Lusk presiding
 The testimony against the prisoner was stong, and Tom struggled hard on the cross examination, but to little purpose, for the old Judge was inf1exible in his determination to rule out all the improper testimony offered on the part of the defense.
 At last Tom, working himself into high state of excitement, and remarked, that "J e. sus Christ was convicted upon just such rulings of the court that tried hm.'
 "Clerk," said the Judge, "enter a fine of $lO against MT. Marshall"
 "Well, that is the first time ever heard of any body being fined for abusing Pontius Pi- late," was the quick response of Tom
 Here the court became very indignant and or dered the clerk to enter another fine.
 Tom arose with that peculiar mirth provo king expression of countenance that no one can initiate, and addressed the court with as much gravity as circumstances would permit, as fol- | lows:
 elf your honor please, as good citizen, feel bound to obey the order of this court, and intend to do so ill this instance; but as don't happen to have $50 about me, shall be com pelled to borrow it of some friend; and as see no one present whose confidence and friendship I have so long enjoyed as your honor's, make no hesitation ih asking the small favor of loan for few days, to square up the amount of the fines you have caused the clerk to enter against me-"
 This was stumpel The Judge looked at Tom, and then at the clerk and finally said:
 "Clerk, remit Mir. Marshall's fines; the State Is better able to lose $50 than 1 am"
