HERBERr THE IRISH KILLER.-A special
correspondent Of the New York Times.
writing from San Francisco under date Nov.
5, says that Herbert left home for Washing
ton on that day, and that on Monday he
challenged Thomas S. King, editor of the
Evening Bulletin, for articles commenting
upon the atrocious murder of Keating-
which challenge Mr.. X. Of course returned
with contemptuous message. On Tuesday
Herbert stood upon Montgomery street all
day, with bludgeon, awaiting avowedly, as
| am told, to attack King The latter, how
ever, brushed past Herbert at 5 o'clock, on
his way to dinner, in comp ny with two
friends, without any hostile demonstration
on the part of our worthy Congressman
Had Herbert assaulted King he would have
adorneda lamp pest in ten minutes thereafter.

Fremont AND TooMBs-RUMoRED DUEL.
New York correspondent of the Albany
Argus says that Col. Fremont has challenged
Toombs of Georgia, to a duel. Mr. Toombs
had made reflections on his berth and ques-
toned his legitimacy. Now, though the adj
dition of the anti-polygamy plank in the plat
form of black republicanism, was calculted to
provoke reflections, an was prehaps intended
to, yet the draggn ne in of tie name of Col.
Fremont's mother for the purpos of question
ing his birth, is an act for which there is no
apology. That duel should grow out of it.
is prchabs not unexpected, though of course
to Re regretted.
The above scrap of falsEood is travelling
the rounds of the scandal-monger news
papers. 1t is enough to say that its untruth
is so transparent that none but knavish fools
will believe it, and none but FOOLISH knaves
will circulate it as true.-Gicago Tribune.

second edition Of the London Times, Sun

1t is understood that [ tab will press
her claims this session for admission into tie
Union as state. Slavery already exists in
the Territory, and the constitution adopted

says nothing against the institution. Neither
does it alude to that other " peculiar insti-
tuition" of polygamy.
IT is stated that there are now twenty In

Road BLOCKED UP.-Ne learn that the
railroad between Freeport and Dunleith is
50 blocked up with snow that the cars have
not been through in six days. Passengers
going between those two points are compell-
ed to go in sleighs. The fall of snow in that
locality is represented to have been three
times as great as here, and the deep cuts
along the road have been completely filed
by it, the wind having been so great. 1t
is thought that several days would yet
elapse before the road would be clear.

instruction, have been fined and whipped on
the bare back fifteen lashes each, for assem-

no real cause to fear instruction.
