rage on q young lady named Farman,
was put under examination last week.
A boy of fifteen, brother of the injured
lady, attended court during the examin-

fired revolver at him. Ward was but
a few feet in advance at the time. and
the ball took effect, entering sbouS the

below the lower rib. He Immediately
staggered and fell, when FarIian fred
two more shots, which took eject, one

PRESIDENT JoHEsoNs VIEWS. - Mr..
George l.. Stearns of Boston, recently
had an interview with the President and
has published an authorized statement
Of his views with regard to reconstruc-
ton and negro suffrage, This does not
differ nom what has been understood by
Union men TO be the Presidents policy,
but 1t contains some new points of in
tereSt, He says that as citizen of
Tennessee he should try to introduce
negro suffrage gradually. He would
first give it 10 those who had served in
the army, and next to those who could
read and write. lie would also give it
to all il we rightly understand him,
who owned a certain amount OF proper
~, say 5000 or $3.50. He thinks that to
permit all the negroes to vote at once
would bring on war between the races,
and that this war would be between the
non-Slaveholding whites and negroes,
between whom there is much greater
hatred than between Shareholders and
negroes. He pleasantly remarked to Mr..
Stearns that the Democrats, having at
late day caught up with his advanced
notionsof human rights, now claim that
they have always been Of his opinion.

A BURGLAR,-A terrible and bloody
conflict took place at Scranton, Pa, d
few nights ago. A merchant named
Wait awoke in the night and saw a bur
glar at his bureau drawer. He Jumped
out of bed and seized him by the throat,
The burglar caught Mr.. Waits thumb in
his mouth, and struggling together they
both went tumbling down stairs. Mrs.
Wait came to her husbands rescue, and
grasped the burglar by the leg. Soon
one Of Mr.. Waits sons appeared, and
then another. The burglar still strug-
Cling with Mr.. and Mrs. Wait fired at
both the sons and wounded each. A
third son at last belabored the burglar
with stick Of wood and brought him
down. After short time the neighbors
were aroused, and such a house is sell
dom met blood marked the skirmish
from the first, and the hall and porch
were covered with blood and torn gar
ments. A search made while the rob.
Der lay senseless on the ground, resulted
in the discovery Of dark lantern, skeI-
eton keys, a revolver, false whiskers,
moHstaches, matchbox, and every other
article necessary for carrying on his ne
farious business. Mr.. Wait was struck
several times on the head and face with
the pistol, and bruised severely all over
his person, yet held fast until the scoun-
drel was finished beyond all danger by
the son. The robber was identified as a
person who had been about the neigh
borhood pedding linen table-cloths.

REPORTS AND THE RRPoRTER.--WC
clip the following from the correspond,
ence of the Burlington Times
"The election of Reporter of Decis-
ions of the Supreme Court was not al
lowed TO go by without spicy and in,
teresting discussion. Senator Reed
opened the ball by stating that he wish
ed to see the reports OF the reporter, Col
Veasey, so as to judge of his qualifca-
tions for the Office. Mr.. Hebard follow
ed in the same strain as Senator Reed,
and endeavored to have the election
postponed one week. This brought out
Messrs. Nicholson and Prout who
warmly defended Col, Veasey from the
charge Of delay in his reports. They
were published as early as heretofore,
and were unusually well prepared. Maj.
Rounds also spiritedly defended his old
commander and protested against such
criticisms of him. After season Sena-
tor Reed withdrew his objections to Col.
Veasey, and he was unanimously reel
ected. We think the discussion entirely
uncalled for; but do not believe it will
in the least detract from the public and
private reputation of Col. Veasey, as q
man OF honesty, energy and capacity
