FIoHr BETWEEN A DISTRICT JUDoB AND
AN ArroRSBY.-A r~enconter took place,
says the Sacramento Union, at the Court
House, Sixth and X streets, Saturday
morning, between Judge McKune of the
District Court and George Cadwalader,
attorney-at-law. McKune was engaged
at the time in his Office, when Cadwalader
called with reference to business connected
with the case entitled "The Providence
TOOL Company VS.. Prader." In this case
Judgment by default had been ente-ed for
plaintiff several weeks ago. On Friday
last Judge McKune made an order IN
chambers setting aside the iudoment
Cadwalader said McKune had nrey;onsiv
told him he could not make in cbamhe,.
an order setting aside the judgment, Nc.
Kune pronounced the statement false
The alteration waxed warm. McKune
gave Cadwalader the 'lie," and Cadwala-
der in return called the Judge 'a puppy"
McKune opened the door and ordered
Cadwalader out, who in return said he
would not go out until he got ready. The
fight then commenced, and the belligerents
worked gradually out Of the room and
along the hall until they approached the
head Of the stairs. Cadwalader's coat was
badly torn, but neither party was injured
to any extent. Cadwalader seems to have
had the advantage as to length Of arm and
strength Of muscle, and McKune as to
agility and accuracy Of aim.

THE NEWS.

It seems that the te~legraphers at heart
Content had given up hope of recovering
the los, cable, when they were notified by
dispatches direct from the Great Eastern
(via Queenstown that the wire mad oeen
picked up, spliced, and a new eastern end
was being paid out. They are now in
communication with the "big ship" every
moment, and the second cable will be
landed this side the Atlantic on Friday OF
Saturday nex The President is not
greeted very enthusiastically as he cometh
West but Grant and Farragut are loudly
cheered. Members Of the Philadelphia
Southern Union Convention held a prayer
meeting on Saturday night. Raymond
has $50, 900 of the election money be-
longing to the Republican party.

The MISSISSIPPI LEvsss.-Genera'
Banks Is credited with defeating in the
House the million and a half a~ppropria.
ton by the Senate for the Mississippi
river ~levees, by stating that, "when in
Louisiana, he at one time sent men to re-
pair these very levees, but the rebel own
ers Of the land submerged shot them
down. It is these land owners who now
asked their levees repaired" There is
neither craftsmanship, good sense, mol
justice in such a view as this. 1t would,
il carried out, forbid all favorable legisla-
ton by Congress for the development and
protection of the Southern States. Be-
cause a few land owners shot Federal SOL
diers sent oat on a mission Of mercy and
benefit, all the rich and exposed cotton
lands of the great valley shall be allowed
to 20 to waste; and neither rebels nor
loyal men, neither Southerners nor North
erners, shall have any aid from Govern
ment to redeem and develop these great
sources of local and national wealth.

Ths Trichina Panic.

The New York Times Says the
excitement about the trichina dis
ease has had, and is still having,
a very great effect in diminishing
the consumption of hog flesh.
The wholesale and other dealers
in the article feel it greatly; but
the wide extent TO which the pub
lie mind has been affected by it is
best learned from the great popu-
lar eating houses Of the city. We
know of one of these in which
hundreds Of "plates" of the flesh
Of swine, in the various ways in
which it il prepared and served
up, were called for daily, but where
now the calls are limited to one or
two per diem. The late rumor
that the disease had actually made
its appearance in this country will
not tend to allay the public fear
in the matter. 1t looks at present
as if the hog trade of Cincinnati,
Chicago, St. Louis and other .wes-
tern cities, would be quite serious
ly affected for some months at
least.

Interesting to Farmers.


The Enquirer of yesterday pub
fishes the following letter, address
ed to Ex-Gov. Shorter of Alabama
now in Washington. 1t settles
many doubtful questions:
TREASURY DEPARTMENT. \.
OFFICE OF INTERNAL REVENUE, :
/ WASHINGTON, Feb. "a, 1866.
SIR: Your letter of Feb. %, con
tanning several inquiries relative
to the income returns of planters
is received.
I reply that the planter, in ma
king return of income for 1864
should include all produce of his
estate sold in that year, whethei
raised in that or a previous year;
also, the amount received for live
stock sold, less the purchase money
paid for the same, if such stock
was purchased; also all profits de.
rived from all other sources during
that year, as required by law
He may then deduct the amount
actually paid as wages to the over
seer OF the plantation. And un.
der the regulations of this office,
farmers and planters were not re:
quired to return as income for
1864 the produce consumed by live
stock and by laborers employed by
carrying on the farm or planta-
ton.
The whole amount of cotton
sold by the planter in 1854 should
be returned asincomeof that year;
and if any cotton was raised in that
year, and not sold, the same need
not to be returned as income until
sold. The expenses of rope, bag
ging, and other charges incurred
in the sending of cotton to market,
may be deducted from the plan
ter's gross income; also the tax of
two cents per pound if paid by him,
may be deducted! If the value
of the corn, bacon, ETC., consumed
during the year as laborers, has
once been returned as income, or if
such corn, ETC., was purchased, the
value of the same, or the amount
paid out therefor, may be deducted,
but not otherwise.

fOn the 9Th Of February last
Michael King, about seventeen
years of age, was killed at Oak.
land, KY, by being struck on the
head with a stake which was
drawn from the ground by an un-
ruly horse. Two days after the
fatal accident, and when the body
was about to be buried, the rel
atives of King thought that they
noticed evident signs of life, and
the body was removed to the house,
where it was kept for several days.
A report got into circulation at the
time that the boy had come to life.
After keeping the body several
days it was removed to the lower
graveyard and placed in a vault,
where it now is, and It has been
visited by hundreds Of our citizens.
The body retains its natural ap-
pearance, is Timber and warm, at.
ter being dead and in the grave
yard one month. We have heard
no reason assigned for this strange

A Washington letter says
Fred. Douglass, in conversation in
this city, just after his interview

have remarked: "The President
charges us with hostility to the

1t is very natural he should take
sides with them against us, for he
belongs to their ranks. l grew
cpa slave among the aristocracy
of Maryland, while he is only a
low-bred tailor; and it is not sur,
prising, therefore, that l contemn
such poor white trash" Such is
the height of insolence to which the

has been educated.

FALSE IMPRESSION CORRECTED
In order to correct an erroneous
impression prevailing in the public
mind, in regard to the redemption
of mutilated Treasury and Nation.
al Bank notes, Comptroller Clark
has issued a circular, in which he
says: "a bank is bound to re.
deem its notes on demand. The
fact that a portion of one of its pro-
missary notes is torn off or missing
does not cancel this obligation, SO
long as there is no reason to be-
lieve the missing parts of the notes
can or will be used to defraud. If
the explanation is satisfactory, the
note should be redeemed in full,
but if the inquiry should lead to
the belief that fraud was intend
ed, the bank would be justified in
refusing to redeem it. Nothing
will justify deduction from the
face value of the note, except a
fraudulent intent; and evidence of
such would justify q bank in refu-
sing to redeem the note. There
fore the note should be redeemed
in full, or not at all. The full
face value will be allowed for all
notes returned to the
Comptroller's office, when such
value was allowed by the bank
which redeemed them. The Off
GERS of the banks are the only
competent judges as to the pro-
prieties or necessities of the case,
and all questions arising upon mu-
tilated notes presented for redemp-
lion, are left to their judgment" |
