Another Democrat outraged

When will Abolitionists learn to respect
the rights of Democrats, and cease violating
their Christian virtues? Is there to be no
end to outrages upon the pure in heart Of the
Democratic faith? The circumstances which
have given rise to these interrogatories are
as follows, to-wit: One Gideon J. Tucker,
who is not unknown to political fame in the
Democratic party of New York, and who is
at present filing the Office of Surrogate for.
the county of New York, has been subjected
to most degrading outrage inflicted by one
Fullerton, a lawyer Of some reputation in
Gotham. From the report before US, it would
seem that Mr. Fullerton appeared before the
Surrogate, upon motion to appoint the ex-
ecutor named in certain will, special admin
irtrator OR collector, under the statutes Of
of that tate.
The following colloquy ensued:
Mr.. Fuerton-"We desire now to state to
your honor the perilous condition that this
estate is in, and we think your Honor will
make the appointment without delay"-the
cause went over until tie first day the Sur
rogate should attend.
The Surrogate" directed my clerk to
adjourn everything last Friday for one
week."
Mr. Fullerton-"I was stating. Sir ! when
your Honor interrupted me, the reasons why
an appointment should be made Immediately.
desire to state the condition of this estate.
Will your Honor not listen to the brief state
ment that have to make ?"
The Surrogate called another cause, say
ing: "The case is decided"
Mr.. Fullerton-"But our Honor decided it
while was upon the floor speaking, and
before determining matter of SO great i'm
PORTAGE"
The Surrogate-The Court will not be in
suited. Sir -
Mr.. Observation-Disclosures will the Counsel "
Thereupon the Court took recess for ten
minutes, and issued an attachment for Fuller
ton, who was therein charged with " having
committed contempt of Court, by being
guilty Of disorderly and contemptuous be-
haviour, directly tending to impair the re-
spcct due to its authority" ordering him
to- Jail, there to remain in close custody for
two days, and until he shall pay the sum Of
$50 fine, and ANY fees the jaiIor might
charge"
There, now, who says Democrats are not
possessed Of tender feelings? Who says
they can't be insulted? Gideon j. Tucker,
Elk Secretary of State, and present Surrogate,
insulted in open Court !! VIVA. an outarge
But then the fne-why Tucker has small
notions of the value of an insult Those fel
lows ought to import Clagett if they want to
be instructed in the law applicable to con.
tempts, and the money value thereof. Clag
EFT can beat Gid Tucker on contempts-n
mistake about that.

GRATIFYING INTELLlGENck.-We are pleased
to be able to state that there is one man in
the city who has the nerve to resist the al
most universal disposition to take advantage
of the public condition of affairs to extort
high prices, and that is NJ. N. Paullin, the
cheapest grocery dealer in Muscatine. He
continues to undersell all his rivals in trade,
and his stock isas usual choice and attractive.
De keeps the best assortment of washing
soap in the city, from Ct cents per pound up
to IS cents. Persons who once use Bab6itfs
Soap s0iH not use any other. Families, by
dealing with him. will find their expenses
greatly reduced. For instance, he is selling
hams at 1911 cents per pound. Tea 81. 60 per
pound sugar-cur'd dried beef 12l cts per
pound; lemons, 40 cts. per dozen; mackerel,
g per kit; molasses at so cents, and every
thing else in proportion. He delivers goods
free of charge in any part of the city. Paul
