DARING ArrEMP.-As Mrs. j. r. Doc
little and Miss Doolittlc, of Racine,
Wis, were returning in a carriage
from kenosha, one evening, and were
about two miles north Of the city, in
the woods, they observed a man of
suspicious appearance in advance, and
Fastening the horse, he made spring
at the reins, but missing his grasp,
he endeav"red TO catch hold of the
carriage, but the horse. "A spirited one,
answered to the lash. and left the fel-
low, when all his efforts To catch them
were fruit!ess, although he followed
them at the top of his speed for about
half Il mile, and once came within a
few feet Of graspiDg the carriage
The evening was ST. far advanced AS
to make it impossible to recognize the
features of the man, or describe his
clothing. 1t shows that there are
desperate Williams in the country who
need Kidding with lead, or be made to
test the strength Of good hempcil
cord.

Douglas Discouraged.

A correspondent of the Cincinnati
Gazette says:
The tone of the Southern press and
Southern politicians, of late, has great
ly discouraged Douglas, particularly
AS the elections in the Northern States,
so far, where his friends had the
sway, are not 1attering to his pros
poets. He sees it wou!d he useless to
obtain the nomination ut Charleston
by the votes Of the hopcIessly Rcpub.
Iican States, unless he has some of the
Southern support at the polls. His
case is daily growing more desperate,
as the shallow device Of Sqnatter
Sovereignty gained him no friends
North, aud made him hosts of foes at
the South, where the most prominent
Democrats daily declare their deter
minatlon not to support him, even if
nominated hy the National Convcn-
ton. The Administration see and re-
joice at his embarrassment, and the
complications with which he has sur
rounded himself.

Frederick Duel.

Rev. j. c. Holbrook writes from
San Francisco to the Dubuque Times
as follows:
This sad affair, about which | wrote
You at length, continues to excite at
tcntion, and the papers are filled with
editorials and communications on the
subject. There has been profound
sensation produced by it throughout
the State, and there is hope that it
will result in checking the practice Of
duelling, which is SO fcarfully rife
here. The laws are good, If only en-
forced. Several of the pulpits have
spoken out, and most of the papers,
and the people seem to be waking mp
to the necessity of action.
Judge Terry, who killed Brodcrick,
has been arrested, and it is hoped will
be punished. He put his resignation
of the Office Of Chief Justice into the
Governors hand either just before or
just after the duel, and the latter had
just appointed Mr.. Cope i'll his place,
who was recently elected to the the
Office from and after Jan. LIST The
Court is in session here and Judge
Cope presides.
1t is clear beyond dispute that his
political enemies determined to kill off
Broderick. Gwin, it is said, exclaimed,
when he heard of Broderick's death,
"that was my meat" There is great
Indignation felt against him, and it is
said he slipped away as quietly as
possible on the last steamer and kept
out of sight till the last to avoid
challenge or violence. The San Fran
cisco correspondent of the Sacrament
to Union writes dr. Gwin and &.
l.. Scott were passengers on the john
l.. Stephens. Some trouble was an
ticipated at the steamer in cnnse-
9uence of the intense feeling of the
people against Dr.. Gwin, in councc-
ton with recent events. The Senator
went down to the steamer early and
did not appear from his stateroom
There was large placard near the
head of the wharf, about five by six
feet in size, and in the center was a
of Mr.. Brodcrick, sur
rounded by the following inscription
" VIII of the peopIe--that the muir
derers of Mr.. Broderick never return
to the State of California"

Some half dozen cattle have recent
ly died in this vicinity from poison.
1t was first supposed that the poison
was administered by some vicious
person, but we believe it is thought
now that smutty corn eaten by the
cattle in the fields was the cause of
their dying.

United States District Court.

We have lately returned from an
attendance on this court which has
just closed its session at Dubuauc.
Owing to the fact that the last sitting
OF this court held in January was an
appearance term, there YVES a large
number of cases to dispose of at this
time, but with such Judge as James
NJ. Love, to preside on the bench,
there is no tronble in disposing of a
large number of cases in short time
There were quite number of cases
against Delinquent Postmastcrs for
small amounts of $40 and SIS of old
standing for the years lS55-56. The
fact that the government is lenien
with such cases and does not press
them until reasonable length of tim,
is given for delinqucnts to pay up
tends to make them very slack in at
tending to it in time, but let it pas,
along from year TO year, and the frs
they know they are sued in the L. s
District Court, and small account 0
ten or fifteen dollars amounts, cos
and all, to thriblc that sum. There
was one point decided by his honor
Judge Love, of some Importance {,
Postmasters it was in the case o
John Blunt, Of Floyd county the
government sued him for SIS, 90 wortl
Of Postage Stamps, which he PROVED
lie had never received. The L. s
District Attorney argued that the
United States stood in the same posi-
ton as an individual, and that as
soon as stamps ordered by Post
master were put in the mails he (the
+. NJ became responsible for them,
but the Judge decided that the gov
ernmeut was responsible for them un-
til they arrived safely to the hand OF
the Postmaster ordering them Hest

He carried a culver of arrows, and
