UESRICo COUNTY CoURT.-The monthly
court met yesterday at the usual hour
with the following full bench of magis-
trates present: George D. Pleasants (pre-
siding iustice), William E. Wade, William
II. Tyler, William Il. Yeatman, A. 5.
Storrs, Thomas L. Pleasants, p. G. Larus,
C. W. Petherbridge, William +. Farrar,
William Hendrck, h. II. Henley, John W.

BY special arrangement, the somewhat
celebrated claim Of John n. Clarkson
against the county for salt furnished du-
ring the late war was considered. The
claim was for S64O in greenbacks, this
scale being accepted instead of gold.
General Henry A. Wise appeared as
counsel for the claimant, and Colonel j.
3. Young represented the county. Both
counsel argued the question at great
length, viewing it in all its phases and
sitting it most thoroughly. Colonel Young
contended that the county should receive
the benefit Of some credits for bags fur
nished, ETC., which General Wise, on the
other hand, strenuously opposed.
At half-past t, when General Wise rose
to make the closing speech, one OF lne
magistrates announced that he would be
allowed only five minutes to reply. .!
will not accept it," retorted the General
with considerable warmth. 81 will not
submit to any such tyrannical, arbitrary
rule. I have sworn to discharge my whole
duty towards my client, and | will not
plead before any tribunal which restricts
me as to time" Here he was interrupted
by the presiding justice, who stated that
the remark which had been made by one
of the justices was not the opinion OF the
Court. The Court would hear him as long
as it had listened to Mr.. Young in his tina
speech, which was about forty-fve mi;
nutes. The General then resumed, and
in thirty minutes closed most able and
eloquent argument in behalf OF the claim
of his client.
The court, after due deliberation, an
nounced its decision to be that they
would allow Mr.. Clarkson S463.so, just
Sl76.l5 less than he claimed.
General Wise declined to accept the de'
cision without consulting bis client, Whief

less receive considerable impetus during

SUGGESTIONS FOR THE CITY COUNCIL
AND PASSENGER RAILwAN COMPANY
We have been requested by large and
influential portion Of the citizens Of
Church and Union Hills to suggest to the
City Council that they cause steps to be
placed on Twenty-cighth street between
Main and Franklin. This point is in the
immediate vicinity Of the eastern terminus
Of the street railway, and many persons
residing in portions of the city above
named would find flight Of steps here Of
incalculable advantage. The hill is so
very precipitous that none but the young
and agile can ascend and descend except
at very great inconvenience.
We would in this connection throw out
another suggestion. A shed or shelter Of
some kind at this point to protect persons
awaiting the departure of the cars would
be appreciated by all who patronize the
railway. Passengers are alike exposed to
the heat of summer, the cold of winter,
and the rain of inclement seasons. The
City Passenger Railway Company should
Immediately construct something of the
kind. The outlay required would be in
significant compared with the comfort and
convenience of the people, without whose
support the railway company would be able
to make but little progress.

A BOLD FELLOW BECOMES VERY PENI-
TENT.-On Wednesday last, Mr.. Millward, +,
proprietor Of the Spotswood Hotel, caught
one of his servants, Albert Graves, dis
obeying an order and also appropriating
some Of his property and thercupon
whipped him. The fellow went with a
friend Of his, JoscphuS Christian, to Re-
corder Rcgnault to obtain warrant for
the arrest of Mr.. Millward. By the time
they reached the Recorders, number Of
colored men had gathered around and
when the Recorder told the fellow that he
had better not get out warrant, but to go
to work again, Josephus demanded the
warrant, and appealed to the crowd to
support him in protecting the rights of the
colored men. The Recorder told him to
cease at once, or he would have him
arrested whereupon he stopped, and the
Recorder granted the warrant.
Yesterday morning Captain Millward
appeared before the Recorder to answer
the warrant charging him with assaulting
and beating the said Graves. Alter an
examination the case was dismissed, and
Albert brought up on a cross warrant,
charging him with stealing from Captain
Millward. Albert appeared to be sorry
for what he had done, and begged the Cap
tain's pardon; whereupon the charge was
withdrawn. During the examination the
Recorder said that he had learned that the
affair had been communicated to the
Freedmen's Bureau, and had no doubt but
that all the points in the case would be
duly exaggerated and also communicated
to the Bureau; but that he did not care,
as he intended to do what he believed to
be his duty, without fear, favor, or atiec-
tion.n

BOGUS INsPECToRs-LooK Our FOR THEM
We learn from II. S. Merrill, ESQ.,, the
United States Revenue Inspector for the
detection of frauds at this point, that there
are several unpriucipled individuals dodg-
ing about the city at present, and repre-
senting themselves as deputy inspectors.
Tobacco manufacturers and others have
been seriously annoyed by intimations of
certain revelations" These intimations
are invariably accompanied, however, by
a hint that, as it is probably the first Of
fence, they dislike to give the offenders
any serious annoyance, and upon the pay
ment of ten, twenty, or fiji dollar green
back nothing more will be said. We are
surprised to learn that in some instances
a few of the timid, rather than have their
establishments under the espionage Of such
creatures, or talked about by any one,
have forked over the amount named.
We have had full description of one of
these "bogus" inspectors. He is we'll
known about the city, and it is not the
first time that his dishonesty has been
made manifest. He carries "badge" !"
concealed under the breast of his coat, and
if any one doubts his "authority," he dis
plays this counterfeit badge, and mcnaces
the alleged offender with the severest
rigor of the law. We withhold for the
present our "pen portrait" of this oily
tongued, plausible impostor. He has rela-
tivcs in our midst, whose name he is un-
worthy to bear, but should he persist in
his disreputable course, his picture will be
given, and with such accuracy that we
think it will he unnecessary to write be-
meath: "ThiS is horse"
An cstimable lady, who keeps house
of private entertainment, called upon
Inspector Merrill yesterday to inquire
about one of these bogus individuals, who
has been boarding with her for some time
past. lie was not very prompt in his set
Elements, and upon being asked for tho
amount due, said he had not been paid off.
Her inquiries at headquarters satisfied her
that she was feeding scamp who intended
to detraud her, and we presume the
impostor was sent off last night without
his tea.
We are requested by Inspector Merrill
to say that all legally authorized deputies
are provided with documents to that effect,
and he hopes that no one will be imposed
upon in future. In all cases demand the
authority, and see to it that it is genuine.
