statement which appears in yonr
issue of October %, over the signature
of Iowa" In the first place am not
dead; l never forged any license; never
had any thought of marrying Majo
Dayton,s sister, and no mock marriage
ever took place between us. [ never
carried Miss Dayton away from home,
and never deceived her as to the fact 0.
my being IA married man.
The history Of my acquaintance with
Miss Dayton is not public property. and
will decline to publish it. If NJ jnr
Dayton thinks he did right in shooting
me in the back, without giving me any
warming, | do not envy him his Goa
science. d.. y. PHI ELPS,

The Court of Common Pleas,

Which commenced on Thursday Of
last week, closed Wednesday, Ito
day). Quite large amount OF husi-
ness has been transacted. There
were no capital or penitentiary cases
tried. A larger number than usual of
,ssaults and batteries were charged and
disposed of. One individual who was
charged with assault and battery in three
indictments, was fined three hundred
dollars, and the costs of three prosecu
tions, and sentenced to thirty days in
the dungeon of the Jail, on bread and
water only. Two individuals were con-
victed of petit larceny, and disposed of
by the proper fines and Imprisonment.
A number Of persons we're convicted of
illegal liquor selling, and very respect
fully fined. .. Fl
Divorce cases made very prominent
feature of the docket and the term
Some got the binding knots united, and
some will have to chafe through the
long vacation in unwilling thrall-
dom. t......
More civil cases were tried and other
wise disposed of, than at any term for a
long time Judge Welsh presided with
increasing satisfaction, and the unani-
nous vote of the bar and suitors, would
pronounce him model Judge. - ~
A question of some interest was
raised and elaborately argued, inyoly-
ing the rights of colored persons to sue
in our courts in special cases. The
point raised was that colored woman
could not make complaint against even
colored man, for bastardy. The
court, however, to the disgust, and per-
haps, to the danger of future opera
tors decided that the father of even
negro baby ought to be compelled to
support it, 1t was claimed in argume mt
that the policy of our State was to place
the negro OuLSlue oi the Id" do III W IL 40
animals, and that this policy had ri
pened into law, and should not be dis
turbed. The court, however, did not
'see it in that light, and decided that,
at least, a colored woman had the legal
right to complain of the father of her
illegitimate te child, if that father was
also negro, as was the case in this in =
stance. The decision, if it stands, will,
we admit, operate hardly upon those
who have relied upon the inability of
negro girls to invoke the aid of the law
to compel the support OF their illegiti-
mate children. And it is for the spe-
cial benefit of this class that we refer to
the case here.

f1- There is partial failure of the
muatto crop in all the Southern States
this year, caused, it is supposed, by the
absence Of the 'patriarchs' in the rebel
armies 1t is feared that the revenues
of the First Fa .lilies, in consequence
of this failure, will be greatly reduced.
Indeed, it is feared that, in many instan-
ces, there will be intense suffering, as
many of the chivalry will hardly have a
single taby for sale.

Naxigation Resumed.

On Saturday last the river began ris-

until Monday morning, atwhieh time it
had risen about four feet. Since then il
has been gradually receding, but there is
yet sufficient water for boats of the
smaller class to run. 4

ea~ Last week we venture on a lit
tie exultation over the thea announced
removal of Gen Buell. from the com :
mand of the army ia KY. A day o..
two after, the country was astoun led
with the announcement that he had not
been removed, but was still in cem nj | 4!
The hopes raised by the report &c the
removal, were thus dashed, and the
gloom Of despair seemed settling down
upon the country. Another CLEAN of
sunshine, however, is again dissipating
the gloom, as the announcement is re-
peated that Buell. is transferred to An
apulis, and Rpsecrans is, in fact, his
successor. We shall hope this is true,
but will not go into ecstacies until the
fact is confirmed.

with interest by all our readers. We
expect a regular correspondence from

is due to the writer to say that, in con

MY DEAR sir. i much surprised

bpy zone Nap:e esg g: howg that the
Governme ftsins ended TO refuse payment
of the per cent and A percent: tempo
rary deposits, in anything but 5 2Os.-
I certainly have never entertained a
thought of paying them in anything ex
eept the currency in which they we're
received. that is to say, United States
notes; unless, indeed, they are paid in
gold.
The idea that they are to be paid in
anything hut money. however, is only
about as absurd and groundless as the
statement hat the National debt amounts
to two thousand millions of dollars; and
yet this statement was gravely put forth
in the leading resolution of the Conserv-
ative Convention. which met the othe-
day in Faneuil Hall. On the day that
resolution was adopted, the National
debt amounted TO less than S640 .000,-
600. | wish | had thought of it and
I would have ohtained the precise 6g

hundred and forty millions compared
with what we have to show for the ex-
penditure Of our part of it-seventy cd |
millions, you know, was the legacy OF

it with complacency. With still less:
