CERTIFICATE.

Several of the undersg gned have known Mir. Buchanan ever since he first came to Lancas ter to study law with the late James Hopkins, and the others for many years past We are all convinced that if, at a public meeting at the court house, or any where else in this city, he had ever used such an expresson or any thing like it, as that which has been attributed to him by MT. Cox, in the convention, to- wit: "that he had thanked his God he had not a drop of democratic blood in his veins, and if he had he would let it out" some of us would have heard 1t, and it must have become sub ject of general conversation throughout Lau- caster. To the best of our knowledge 1t never was mentioned by any person until the year 1928, immediately before Mr. Buchanan's last election to Congress on the democratic Jackson ticket. As this election immediately preceded General Jacksons first election to the Presi- dency, in November, 1928, and as Mr. Buch- anan had been for several years previously his ardent and active supporter, he was then oppos- ed with much zeal and bitterness
 Ever since we first heard this story, referring back as it did to 1915, we have always believ. ed, and still believe, that it was got up without foundation in fact, for the purpose of operating against MT. Buchanau's election to Congress in 1928. Indeed, we had never supposed that any person acquainted with his character could be- leve, that at any leriod of life, he would have made such declaration as now seems to be

. Outrage, onEa Judge IN New orleap,.

| During the examination Of case con.
nected with the late contested election for
Sheriff IN New. Orleans, on Wednesday
week, before Judge Robertson, of the Dis
trict Court, a man named Daunoy intruded
himself between the Judges scat and the
Clerks desk and upon being ordered to
stand out OF the way by the Judge, refused
to obey. He was accordingly forcibly ex-
PEELED from the Court by one Of the deputy
Sheritts. There was some difficulty in accom-
pllshing this measure, rs Daunoy forcibiy
resisted, but Judge Robertson cried out are-
move him, and if there is any resistance
made. kill him." The Judge then wrote
out his commitment for ten days for con
tempt OF Court, and ordered tho deputy TO
execute it. In the meantime, tile friends of
Daunoy had assembled outside the Court,
and had determined to prevent the arrest.
MIR: kandeil Hunt, the eminent counsel,
seeing the threatening state Of affairs, ad-
yIsed Judge Robertson to accept tile ap6l.
ogy Of naunoy. Accordingly Daunoy was
called into Court and on disclain,ing all
contempt was discharged.
The, next morning as Judge Robertson
was going to Court, he was met By Daunoy
on Toulouse street. At first the converse
ton assumed m amicable tone, but Daunoy
suddenly changed his manner, and said,
II want you to apologise for your conduct
to ME yesterday" "Apologize o. replied
tho Judge, Zsyou have mistaken your man
II you suppose :, can apologize for perform.
ing my duty"
Daunoy Immediately pushed him off to
have him within reach Of very heavy loaded
cane, with which he struck him a tremcu.
dous blow on the head, which was followed
by Others in quick succession. The Judge
tried 70 draw his pistol, but one hand was
occupied in parrying the blows and he could
not succeed.
Two or three friends of Daunoy then
jumped upon.the Judge, catching his arms
and choking him, willie tho clief assailant
continued his assault. The Judge at last
succeeded in drawing his pistol, bu. it was
wrestcd from his hands at once. The beat
ing lasted for some time. One of the Sher.
ifs deputies, who was fortunately passing
by, came up and rescued the Judge from
the grip'of his foes. The wounds inflicted
are said to be very severe. & -.

steamer arrived at Louisville from Henderson
Inst week with one thousand sacks of corn
for distillers at: Carrollton. It is the first
receipt Of purchase by them Of about
$4,000 bushels Of corn. It was bought in
Indiana early in the season, and the price
paid varied from forty TO forty-two cents
per busliel. Subsequently, they proffered
the farmers ten cents per bushel to take the
corn back and rescind their contracts, which
they Of course refused. Other buyers en-.
tered more largely into the trade, and very
many Of them bought corn Ly the hundred

,.-...- Bill.
Some discussion having taken place up-
on the position Of Mr.. Buchanan on the
Kansas Nebraska Bill, we are permitted to

ence as to Mr.. BIS thorough identity will,

of the Kansas Nebraska bill with his usual
trankness aud decision. We arc confirmed
in our impression, by this letter, that no
man, no set Of men, and no newspaper, arc
Mt all warranted to speak authorita,ively for
MIR. Buchanan upon this or upon any other
question. His own words speak for thom-
selves. ~ =
The letter of Mr.. Buchanan was not, it
will be seen, intended for publication: but

lay it before the country I: ,-
