An ARRAY occurred in Tecumseh, Jan. 81, be-
| tween Judge Elnore, and j. II. kagi, a repor.
ter of the Topeka Tribune, in which, both were
seriously wounded Itappears that Kagi had
written something ut which the Judge took UNI
bragg. He went up to Tecumseh TO report the
| doings of the Border Ruiiian Convention. The
following is the account of the occurrence: Pre-
vious to the hour set for the convention to as
semble, the Jrdge had taken his position on the
Cour. House steps, to watch for the entrance OF
Kagi, who soon m de his appearance, and in at
tempting to step up on to the portico, Elmore
raised huge club which he had used as walk
! ing stick, and at the same time accosting him
with Your name is Kagi; are you y correspon-
dent of the Kansas Tribune ?" To which Kagi
replied in the affirmative. He then asked IT he
wrote the signature OF X. and before he had
time to reply Emore dealt him heavy blow on
| the side of the head with his club, which sent
| him Keeling for several rods. Gilmore then flred
and sought safety behind a pillar OF the Court
House. As soon as Kasi could bring himself to
an upright position, he drew small four inch
revolver which he happened to have with him
and fred, the ball passing through the lower
| part of the body and lodged in tue thigh. From
this time to the end of The ARRAY kagi stagger-
ed hither and thither, attempting, several tunes
to bring his revolver to bear upon the JudSe
again. but the blow lie had received caused ut
ter blindness, SO much so that. he was unable 10
ascertain the exact Whereabouts of the Judge,
who continued to fire until he had spent four
shots, when one OF his friends fired one from
window above making five in all-.the tirst one
of which took effect in kagi's right side, and
must nave proved fatal had not the BAH passed
through a large blank book which he had with
him Tor the purpose of taking notes, and large
number of letters, all OF which were in the breast
pocket of a coat asg Z.
Judge E. was in critical condition at the
date OF last accounts. e.sasa 1

ington correspondent of the Boston Post, re.
lates the following characteristic anecdote of
Mr.. Marcy:
81 do not think shall violate any confidence
in giving an anecdote of NJ. Marcy, current in
society, though believe 1t has never been in |
print. IL is known that during the enlistment
controversy, and consequent difficulty with the
English Minister, Mr, Champion, the French
Minister, VI. de Sartiges, exerted all his influence
with Mr. Marcy for the retention of Champion.
On one occasion N. de Sartises was arguing be-
fore the Secretary against the dismissal of
Champion, presenting the disadvantages of such
an act in the strongest colors, representing the
desire of his government to prevent rupture
&C., &C., in quite lengthy Grafton, during the
delivery Of which Mr.. Marcy sat perfectly si-
lent, dangling his watch seals, as if in profound |
reflection upon the French Minister'S eloquenee.
AT length, when Sartiges had quite exhausted
his discourse and paused for reply, the Secre-
tary merely raised his shaggy eyebrows little
and quietly inquired, IN. Sartiges, how is Ma
dame this morning. The story goes no fur
ther in that direction, except, as deponent be-
leves, that NJ Sartiges took his hat and never
approached the subject again, while, as the
world knows, Mr. Champion was dismissed,
Lord Palmerston fumed and fretted, and finally
has appointed Lord Napier to come over here in
Champions place
