FIGHTING ABOUT A CALF.-This morning,
officer Greer, of the Third Ward, saw two men
fighting in Centre Market, and arrested them,
and took them before Justice Thompson, when
they gave their names as Marcus Kremer aud
:. Oppenheimer. They were both nxious TO
purchase q calf that man had for sale. One
proposed to buy the calf by weight. and the
other offered to take the animal IS IL laid. They
got into a dispute, and the fight ensued. The
Justice would not decide which was right in
quarrel, but fined each IS for the fight which
enSued.

FIRE.-Last night, at about eight o'clock, the
alarm of FIRE was given from the box at the
corner of 7th and i streets, caused by the
burning of a small brick stable in the alley
between Sth and 9th and X and l. streets north,
belonging TO Admiral Smith, but occupied by
Henry hinsloe, a hackman. This is the fourth
time this stable has been fired within a year,
or two years; and IL is evident that some
ineendiary has particular view to the de-
struction of il. The roof was burnt off aud the
contents OF the stable destroyed; but the fire.
men were promptly on the spot and extin-
guished the flames without damage to the
adjoining property. The damage can be re-
paired for two or three hundred dollars.

FIRE IN CAMBRIDGE, N. "a des.
tructive fire occurred in the village OF
Cambridge, N. Y, on Wednesday morn
last. 1t broke out about S O'Clock, in a
wooden building occupied as a store by
w. E. Hitchcock. This building was
entirely destroyed, with nearly all of Mr.
HIS stock of goods. From this the fire
extended to building adjoining on the
east, the first story of which was occu-
pied by j. N. Hodges as clothing store,
and by L, G. Gum, Justice of the Peace,
as an Office. The second story was used
as Masonic hall. This building was
also destroyed, the Masonic lodge losing
large portion of their furniture and
fixtures. Mr.. Hodges and Justice Gum
save most Of their effects. A brick
building on the west of Hancock's store
occupied as meat market was badly
damaged. The total loss by the fire will
not be far from SIS 900, most of which is
covered ny insurance.

Mr.. JoHssoN's VIEws RESPECTING
SUFrRAeE.-The Washington Republic
an, of Nov. l9,-Mr. Johnson's recog.
nized organ-makes the following au-
thorized statement of his views upon the
suffrage QUESTION:
Suffrage should be conferred by the
States, that right being guaranteed to
each State by the Constitution. Andrew
johnson Is in favor of qualified suffrage
in Tennessee as a citizen of that State.
He authorized us, in behalf of the Chief
Executive of the nation, to urge quail
fed suffrage for three classes of colored
men of this District, in April last, and
at his suggestion we renewed the propo-
sition again in July, only about one
week before Congress adjourned We
took special pains to notify several
Radical Senators and Representatives
who were anxious inquirers on the sub.
ject that the President was in favor of
the plan proposed in the Republican.
The Radicals were afraid to touch the
question, and went home to their sew
eral States and backguarded the Presi-
dent, and declared he was opposed to ex-
tending the right of suffrage to black
men. Andrew johnson is in favor of
more for the black man in Tennessee, as a
citizen of the State; he suggested to Gov.
Sharkey of Mississippi, more for the col
ored men of that State, and requested
and authorized us to urge upon Congress,
at the last session, more for the colored
men of this District than Charles Sum-
ner, or Henry Wilson, or any other Con-
gresham of Massachusetts, ever urged
for the colored men of their State. No
Colored man who ever fought in the
Union army, or who owns property, no
matter how much, can vote in Massa-
Chusetts unless he can read and write.
President Johnson goes beyond that. He
is in favor of granting suffrage to all
COlored men, wherever the Constitution
gives him power to do it, who can read
and write, or who served honorably in
the Union army, or who owns property
to the extent OF two hundred and fifty
dollars and upward. The only differ
enCe between the President and Congress
is, that the former believes that, under
the Constitution, each States has the
right to settle the question of suffrage
for itself. Congress assumes the right
to impose it upon the States, Constitu-
ton or no Constitution.

SuPRRMs CoURT-GENERAL TERM.-The
Supreme Court, at its recent General
Term at Montpelier which closed on the
10th inst, decided in the case Of Henry
Hitchcock v. Grin s. Sawyer, appellant,
argued in Windsor county at its Febru.
airy Term, 1866, that the omission to
afiix proper internal revenue stamp to
writ or other instrument does not rem.
der it invalid under the provisions of
the internal revenue laws, unless the
omission is shown to be with the in.
tent to evade the provisions of these
laws, and under such circumstances as
would make the party whose duty it was
to afflx the stamp liable to the penalty
or forfeiture imposed for the omission
or neglect to atilx the stamp.
In the case of Executive of Stukely
Thornton of Castleton, deceased, v. Jere-
miah Thornton, and others, the trial of
which in the County Court in Rutland
county at the March Term, 1865, occu-
pied fifteen days, and which was argued
in the Supreme Court at it's term held in
this county last winter, and re-argued
at the recent General Term, the judg-
ment of the County Court in favor of
the validity and due execution of the
instrument offered for probate as the
last will of the deceased was affirmed.
One other Rutland county case John H.
Bowman V. Ferrand Parker was also re-
argued at the recent General Term, but
is not yet decided.

THE FREEDMEN IN GEoRGlA.-There
are now in Georgia AZ schools for freed
men, with 50 teachers and 1855 pupils.
Of these teachers % are colored and 40
are white, and of the scholars 1909 are
males and 1916 females. The freedmen
themselves are sustaining "a of these
schools, with an equal number of teach
ers and 1880 scholars, and they partly
sustain IA other schools. During the
month Of Octoqer they paid about $1,000
for the purpose of education, which
shows that they are willing to pay for
their education when they have the
ability. The number of schools and of
scholars is rapidly increasing in Georgia,
and will continue TO increase as the
freedmen realize more fully the benefits
to be conferred upon them by the schools.
There is still considerable antagonism
between the whites and blacks in
Georgia, and murders of the freedmen
are of frequent occurrence in many of
the counties.

WONDERS OF THE CABLE.-Our two
cables do their part well. There are no
way stations between Ireland and New
fosndland, where messages have to be
repeated, and the lightning never fingers
more than second in the bottom of the
sea. To those who feared that they
might be used up or wear out I would
say, for their relief, that the old cable
works little better than the new one,
but that is because it has been down
longer, as time improves the quality of
gutta percha. Bot the new one is con-
stantly growing better. To show how
delicate are these cords, it is enough to
state that they can be worked with the
smallest battery power. When the first
cable was laid ia 1858, electricians
thought that to send current 1000
miles, it must be almost like stroke of
lightning. But God was not in the
earthquake, but in the still, small voice.
The other day Mr.. Latimer Clark tel
egraphed from Ireland across the ocean
aud back again, with battery formed
in lady's Chimble And now Mr.. Col
lett writes me from Hearts Content: Il
have just sent my compliments to DR..
Gould Of Cambridge, who Is at Valentls,
with battery composed of q gun cap,
with strip OF zinc, excited by drop
of water, the simple bulk of tear g. A
