The Grimes and Marcy Hoax.

Some Of our readers may have seen letter
which was written to Governor Grimes
Of Iowa, by some person who signed the
name of Secretary Marcy to the bottom of
it, and so clearly initiated the style of the
mender of breeches-both private and ma
tional-that many papers copied the letter.
and called it " An important State Paper"
But when Mr.. Marcy denied its author
ship, it became laughable "hoax"
1t is generally believed in Iowa that
Henry j. Starr, an eminent lawyer and
amateur wag, Of Burlington, is the author of
the hoax
Mr. Starr is said to be a native Of the
town which produced Hon. S. A. Douglas,
of Illinois. and the Western people have an
anecdote of meeting--not hostile-which
took place between Mr.. Douglas and Mr..
Starr.
The latter had lost sight of I" little Doug"
but little Doug, who seldom looses sight Of
anything, had not forgotten bis townsman !;
SO once when they met and they were talking
of New England, Douglas asked Starr if he
had ever been in -?
"Ohl yes" said Mr. Starr, was raised

Amy boys?'
Yes, there was Stephe. Douglas-we
went to school together-not exactly together,
either-he went to the common school aud
went to the academy or high school,"
Have you ever seen Stephe since ?"
"Well no. Judge, | hav'nt. Why do
you ask ?'
"Oh, | wanted to look after my relations
little, and l have always had an idea that |
ought to do something for Stephe. Was
there anything n him?"
"Yes, | should think there might have
been, if be could have been educated, but
when | saw him last he was re gged sort of
boy, and since | think about it, it appears
10 me that his father was about to put him
to the furniture business-cabinet making"
"Well, Mr. Starr, allow me to say that
nm Stephe. Douglas, the ragged boy, and that
l am happy to meet my old playmate again,
in the person of Iowa's best lawyer. have
never lost sight Of you, sir, nor any of the
boys; but have given up cabinet making as
you see"
They shook hands heartily, Mr.. Starr re-
marking the while
"Yes, sir! yes, sirl you have done some
thing for Stephe., but allow me to say that
there is yet more cabinet for you to do
think you will yet make secretary for
Uncle Sam, or probably cabinet itself

Their purd carnations filing the air and

standing upon threshold, looking forth like
prince in bright armor, upon his kingdom
how much grander than a coronation il
is
The blue walls of heaven, built up in the
heavy masonry of night, part without q
crash nay, even without the soft and silk
en- rustic OF curtain. The lights aloft are
put out, one after another; the gates of red
gold swing back, noiselessly as the parting
of soft lips in dreams, and disclose hall and
threshold inlaid with pearl.
There is a flush, q CLEAN and glow over
prairie and lake, and there, pauses the Sua,
as if enchanted with the scene he smiles on.
A moment, aud he steps forth, bat there is
no Jar; o moment more, and cloud, wood

DISTRICT COURT pRocHEDINGs.
Hon. G. E. WILLIAMS, Presiding.

WEDNESDAY, Nov. 18th.
The case ofthe People vs.. William Wallace,
indicted for the crime of murder, was opened.
The following gentlemen compose the jury:
]. P Morton, John Boucher, e. Strong, N.
S. Garland, Geo. Firth, Lendell Luce, Jas.
Mckee, &. H. Hackett, S. T. Curtis, s P
Mott, Geo. Rowe, and John AIDA.
The drift of the main evidence as given by
Thomas Fox, brother of the deceased, the
wrincipal prosecuting witness. is as follows :
On the day ON which the killing took place,
(the 14fh of June last,) defendant had a
quarrel with man named Mason and the
brothers Fox, in the course of which, the de-
fendant was ordered out of Thomas Fox's
house. Defendant went as he was ordered,
and in few moments after engaged in an
encounter with the deceased. The noise
made by this quarrel attracted the witness
attention, and he Immediately went toward
the parties. lie found his brother and de-
fendant clenched, and upon the ground, the
deceased undermost, and defendants wife try
ing to separate them. Witness took defen
dant off his prostrate brother and separated
them, in few seconds after which separa.
ton, defendant drew out pistol and fred
at deceased killing him instantly, then
turning to the witness, shot him through,the
body.
Other witnesses were introduced to prove
the defendants malignant feelings toward
deceased. This state of things was readily
proven, both parties having been on bad
terms with one another for many months.
F.. Cox, the young man who is indicted for
manslaughter in the killing of one Lanigan,
was sworn as witness on the part Vt de-
fence. during whose examination we left the
Court house. the hour being late in the
evening.
The case will probably 60 to the jury ear

that of Refugio Escarciga, for the murder
of Casey at Spanishtown.

The Hon Wm NJ, Gwinn is now in Wash

Hon. J. W. Denyer, the efficient Commits
sioner OF Indian Affairs. who gives great sat-
isfaction in the discharge of his duties, has
Just returned from a tour in the new Terri
tories for the purpose of protecting the In
dians from the rapacity of SPECTATORS and
their own neglect.
The numerous friends of Senator David
c. Rroderick have been tvery much dis
appointed at his non arrival in the last
steamer.
The statement that Mr.. Rroderick, has tax
en- ground against the Administration has
been fully contradicted. He is democrat
Of too high etanding, and has made too many
sacrifices. for the principles of the party 20
allow his disappointments in reference to ot'
fee to affect his relations to our great or
ganization.
The hard times will prevent the usual lib
