SOMETHING OF MUss.-Considerable ex-
cltement was created yesterday, about the
corner of Fourteenth street and Pennsylvania
avenue, in consequence Of a muss between the
colored hackmen there and several white men,
A big crowd speedily collected, and five psr-
ties Were arrested, viz: Henry Mack, (white,)
and Jas. H, William H., William and Lemuel
Beckett, (colored,) and they were all taken be-
fore Justice Clayton for q hearing. A number
OF witnesses were summoned, but the testimony
was so conflicting that it was almost impossible
10 get head or tail out of the affair.
From all that could be ga thered, it seems
that Henry Mack (white) is engaged in labo-
rers work about Fourteenth street. While
wheeling barrow in which was a pick, past
William Beckett's hack, the noise frightened
the horses. and caused hem to make n back
ward move. Beckett t, ID Mack not to frighten
his horses, and the la er retorted, applying
some epithets to Beck i, and threatening 10
knock him off his hack-box. Sharp words en-
sued, and the result was fight.
Beckett's brothers coming to his assistance
Mack got blow with brick on the back OF
the head, and VIM. Beckett had his head so
badly cut that the blood ran down his face
nothing very serious, however. Other parties
Joined in, and pickaxe handles, stones, bricks,
whips, fist, &c, were used freely. and blows
were given and taken, but who did the striking
dId not fully appear; and the justice therefore
concluded to consider the case simply one of
disorderly conduct. and fined James H. and
VIM. Beckett and Henry Mack each IS. and
dismissed w. H. and Lemuel Beckett, there
being 10 evidence to prove their completely.
MI. Wharton appeared for the colored d men.
