CITY INTELLIGENCE

ALrERCATIoN AND ARREsTS.-Y esterday morning
about half-past o'clock, quite an excitement was
produced in front of the office of Messrs Whitney
and Thomas, on Lexington street, opposite the
Courthouse, by an alteration between Madi-
son Jetleri and Col George p. Kane, Marshal
of Police. 1t appears that Jeffers was standing at
the entrance to the office, when the Marshal crossed
the street for the purpose of visiting Mr.. Whitney
on official business. As he passed or was about
passing Jehers, they eyed each other, it is said,
not very complacently: Some words then passed
between them, and Marshal Kane laid hold of
Jetters by the collar and pressed him to the iron
banisers Of the front stoop, saving he would arrest
him; LETTERS also took hold of the Marshal in the
same way, and they stood in that position for some
moments; Jeffers, in the meantime, saving he would
go to the station with the Marshal who replied he
had sent for officers. An officer soon appeared and
.etiers was taken to the statiOnhouse and put back
the charge being made of disorderly conduct and
resisting George p. .Kane in the discharge of
ms duty. Jeiiers was kept in the lookup
for some time, owing to the fact that no
magistrate appeared to hear the case He had
hearing afterwards before Justic Hiss who re-
leased him on bail to appear at Court in the SUM
OF Sl,OOO; William Alexander, Esq, becoming
bondSman. Jelers afterwards went to the office of
Justice Charles Alexander, and procured States
warrant for the arrest of Marshal Kane which was
placed in the hands of Deputy Sheriff Pointer,
who took him to the office Of the Justice when he
was held in the sum of $500, on the charge of as
saulting Madison Jetfers, Geo. W. Dobbin, Esq.,
being his bondsman The exact words used by
and will only appear when the case is examined be-
fore Court. Our reporter learned from Mr. Jetfers
that Justice Hiss charged him ten dollars to come
to the station-house to hear his case After the
hearing, Jeifers went before the Grand jury which
body, as is mentioned in another place, presented
the magistrate for malfeasance in office.
DIFFICULTY.-lt will be seen by referring to
the reports of the proceedings of the Convention
published in another column, that difficulty oc-
CURED. during the afternoon session, between the
Hon. Josiah Randall and VIM. Montgomery and
John l.. Dawson, ESqs. Just after the adjourn
ment OF the Convention, Mr. RObt. Randall (son of
Mr. Josiah Randall, y thinking that Mr.. Montgomery
intended some offensive language which he had
used to apply to his Mr.. Randas) father, sent
friend to Mr. Montgomery to make the inquiry as
10 oIda whetneE m the language was used towards the
preached Mr.. Montgomery and made the inquiry,
when the latter gentleman, in reply, remarked that
'Mr Randall can go to hell" Mr. RandalIs
friend replied to Mr.. Montgomery that in visiting
him, he thought he would meet gentleman, and
had he known that he (Mr. Montgomery was such
a hlackguard, he would have held no communica-
tion with him. MIR. Montgomery made no response
to this, and Mr.. Randalls friend left him and RI
ported to Mr.. Randall thepurport of the interview,
and the two together passed out of the theatre and
proceeded down Cav street. When near the inter
section OF Gay and Fayette streets Mr.. Randall left
his friend, remarking that he would look about
for his father. Mr.. Montgomery was coming down
the street, and Mr.. Randall observing him, (and
being still exasperated at the offensive remark of
Mr.. Montgomery walked up to him and struck
him several blows in the face, which caused the
blood to flow profusely. Mr.. Montgomery struck
Mr.. Randall blow on the shoulder which knocked
him back, and tripping on the curb-stone, he fell.
Friends OF both parties here interered and the fight
was stopped gentleman from Texas drew
volver and rendered it to Mr.. Randall, which that
! gentleman promptly refused, remarking that he
needed no pistol to defend himself. Mr.. Montgom-
cry Is a large man, about twice the weight of HI
opponent IL Is supposed the matter will end here.
