CoHUeN, -IfN., ANON' ICtu ICOC. MR. EDITOR: Some time ago you pub lished communication from this place, which contained a statement to the effect, that 1 had made an attack with riding whip upon the Judge of this judicial district, because of an official order; and that at the request of a meeting of the bar" of Qua chita county my name had been stricken from the roll of attorneys.
 The meeting of the bar, to which your correspondent referred, was held without my knowledge. in the midst, as 1 am in- formed of high and general excitement against me, and when l was necessarily confined to bed by the injuries received from the third parties in the "melee." The bar acted without any defence or explanation being made in my behalf-and l think, upon incorrect information and misappre hension of the facts. They assumed that the assault was committed on the e honora- ble judge of the court on account of his ac- tion as such judge" and that it was '' un- warrantablc, unprovoked and infamous"
 The conversation in the street upon which the difficulty ensued, was, 1t is true, relative to an order given from the bench But if l know the motive which influenced me in making the attack, 1 was actuated, not so much by the official act as by the personal department of the Judge, which 1 thought keenl y insulting. In fact, in my opinion, l struck the citizen and not Me officer, on ac- count of his conduct ds C citizen and not on accoant of his conduct as dn officer. It was not my intention to commit contempt of the court" If any was committed, it was because there axisted such an inSepara- ble connexion between the private depon- neem of the Judge in private conversation in the street, about an order from the beach, and the order itself, as rendered resent ment of the department necessarily a resent ment of the order also. l am and have been, at all times, ready and willing to purge myself of any imaginable ' contempt of the court.''
 It is perhaps due to myself to add, that at proper time, l expect to seek relief by whathever may appearto be the most effec- tual modes, from what I deem a most ille- gal, unjust and iniquitous judgment. No chance for defence was allowed me. had neither notice or knowledge of the bar meet ing, or of the proceedings of the court. was a stranger to the community, and tc every member of the bar save in the casual acquaintance of month. The judge has long been a resident of this city.

Is ToDAcco PoIsoNoUs?- Some five years since a gentleman in Philadelphia, at the head of one of the most extensive and wealthy banking houses in the country literally died of starvation He was an inveterate smoker, and seldom was without cigar in his mouth, even during business hours. The habit contracted in early life, lel to the use of a cigar, whether lighted or not, permitting its moistened and chewel surface to remain under his tongue. This was pursued for years, and it resulted in impregnating the glands beneath the tongue, which terminated in cancerous alterations. At first 1t was not regarded with any anxiety, but infamma tlon was an attendant evil and the immediate cause of death. The roots of the tongue Liberated; and the throat sympathized with them, until it was almost impossible to swallow or breathe. The only nourishment taken for some months previous to his death was of liquid character; even that at last could not be received, so swollen and inAamed was the seat of the disorder. Death from starvation and suffocation finally closed the scene, the victim being otherwise in perfect health, except greatly emaci- ated .-New York O5seruer.

The decree must be further re- formed so as to make partition of the whole of the land between the other appel lees and the appellants, giving to the latter one sixth part, that being the interest of Mrs. Ferguson So much of the decree as directs the master to take an account of rents and profits, and appoints commission CTS to make prrtition of the land. will re- main unchanged The proper decree must be entered here and certified to the court below to be exe- cuted.
 The costs of this court must be equally divided between the appellants and the ap- pellees.
 vs Appeal from Pulaski C.. Philip Crise o0"r.
 This was an action for damages for To- eating swamp land levee through land of Crise on Rec river. The case had been twice before this court. After the remand Ing of the cause, upon reversal, when 1t was last before the supreme court, the auditor filed an amended response, the court sus- tained the demurrer, and awarded peremp- tory mandamus against the auditor; and he appealed.
 IAe Court Held: lst. Where the fact is sufficiently ascer- tained by the inquest of damages, as to the ownership of the land upon which the levee was located, 1t is not the province of the auditor to go back of that. End If X ic mot bo o,,,o, o ., of the land-if the inquest was mere fraud gotten up by him to speculate upon the public treasury, the remedy of the State to set aside the inquest for such fraud, and prevent the payment of the damages as sessed to him is plain and ample.
 The judgment of the court below is re- versed, and the cause romance for further proceedings.
 James $. o0ier' Agped from Philips Southy Brooks, 0''c"" O0@7.
 This was an action of ejectment brought by Cofer against Brooks. The plaintiff was defeated in the action, and appealed to thls court on exceptions taken at the trial. IAe Court Aeld:
 lst. Under our statutes, tax deeds, even Ii irregular and worthless, are admissible in evidence, in connection with proof of pos- session, in order to establish defence
 End. A person having good and valid tax title, needs not the protection of the statute of limitations: the object of the statute was to protect purchasers at tax sales against errors and mistakes of off cers, etc.

EF-T Two Scotch gentlemen went to Ireland to make tour and to see the natives One of them, one drizzly day. bet the other the price of their dinner and bottle of wine that the first Pat they found would be too much for them. A diminutive fellow, with an old frieze coat, and piece of hat, was trying to blow with pony under the shelter of a row of trees.
 Pat, said our friend.
 " Yes, your honor," he replied.
 :" If the devil was to come just now. which one of us would he take?
 " Surely he'd take me, yer honor.'
 " But why, Pat?"
 "Cause he'd be sure ofyer honor at any time.''
