LOCAL MATTERS.

A Lively DAY FOR REPoRTERs.-Early
on Saturday morning the police discovered
upon certain walls and fences in the bust
ness part of the city a printed card, signed
by E. Cuthbert, Of the New York Herald,
assailing in the most scurrilous man
ncr the character Of DR.. j. B. Brock, of
the Enquirer and Examiner newspaper.
The Objectionable cards were discovered,
and the Chief of Police, knowing that the
charges which it contained were Of a char
acter likely to provoke hostile meeting
between the gentlemen whose names have
been mentioned above, caused DR.. Brock
to be bound over to keep the peace.
Later in the day Mr.. Ernest Wilt, an
other reporter of the Examiner, and a
friend of DR.. Brock, met Mr.. Cuthbert on
the corner Of Eleventh and Bank streets,
when there was an immediate resort to
blows. The parties were soon separated,
and shortly afterwards Mr.. Wilt was ar
rested on warrant obtained by Cuthbert,
and recognized for his appearance before
the Mayor this morning.
This affair created quite an excitement
around the locality in which it occurred,
but it was soon cclipsed by another enseute,
in which nearly the whole reportorial corps
Of Richmond were more or less involved.
A statement in the editorial column of
the Dispatch of yesterday mentioned incl
dentally that our reporter had obtained
his information concerning the reputation
of Hunnicutt by Porter from W. Il.
Samuel, who does the stcnographic re-
porting for the Convention. Feeling IN
some manner aggrieved by this, immedl-
ately after the adjournment of the Con-
vention Mr.. Samuel approached MIR. Jas.
P. Cowardin, of this paper, with the
words: "Mr. Cowardin, you have not the
first principles Of gentleman"
Mr.. Cowardin attempted to resent the
insult by blow, but his arms were seized
and firmly held, and Samuel remark ed
that the difficulty could be settled else
where than on the floor Of the Convention.
An hour or two afterward Mr.. Samuel
walked up Twelfth street near the En-
Quirer and Examiner Office, in company
with several Radical members Of the Con-
vention. Mr.. Cowardin met him, and
demanded rctraction of the remark
uttered at the capitol. The retractlon
being refused, Mr.. Cowardin raised his
cane and struck Samuel several heavy
blows on the head. The latter drew pis-
tolls, and the parties closed, when Leahy,
of Brunswick, and other members OF the
Convention, rushed to the aid Of Samuel,
and Joined in the attack upon Cowardin.
Several bystandcrs belonging to the
Richmond press and to the Convention
then rushed in, and the affair began to
look very much like a free fight.
The police soon arrived, however, and
the following parties were arrested as
implicated in the disturbance: Cowardin
and Handy, of the Dispatch; James, Of
the Enquirer; Leahy, of the Convention; ;
and Samuel, of Baltimore, stenographic
reporter. They were all recognized to APP
pear before the Mayor this morning.
Mr.. Cowardin was arrested shortly after
this affair for completely in the attack
upon Cuthbert, and gave bail for his APP
pearance upon this charge also.

property for its safckeeping, and also of
a recent letter from the comptroller of
the currency upon the improperly of as
Stunning such responsibility in justice to
their stockholders, an overhauling of
property so placed has recently been had
in State street, and number of the banks
have required that their depositors should
sign paper relieving said institution
from all responsibility. The above. men
toned trunk then came to light. On
the requirement of the octogenarian direc-
tor to sign the agreement for this trunk, he
then for the first time discovered that this
valuable article had never been taken
away by his old friend, Mr.. N; that he,
with a number of his family, had passed
away, the widow of the owner being still
in the land of the living. She was called
upon, and much to her establishment, sur
prise and qualification, the long missing
and highly valuable treasure had come to
light. In the trunk was found number
of miniatures of the family and friends of
Mrs. N, painted upon ivory, quite num-
Der of gold coins of fifty years ago, hume
rous gold necklaces Of the olden time,
and, in short, it was nearly filled with
valuable gold ornaments-heirlooms of the
Notwithstanding also very valuable
and curious time piece or clock set in a
beautiful ivory case-all in the most per-
feet order; for on winding up this precious
timc-keeper, and the proper time arriving
for announcing the hour, an apartment IN
the same opened, the hour was struck, and
a curious and interesting little man and
woman appeared and either sang or Whls-
tied popular air of fifty years ago. They
then disappeared, the apartment closed,
and the clock licked on until the proper
time for the same performance to be re-
peated again.
In the examination, one other trunk ex-
cited the curiosity Of the bank officers.
A veteran book-keeper, who has been in
the bank nearly forty years, had faint
recollection of its being deposited when he
was young man, and as the depositor's
name never had been put on, or perhaps
had been torn off, it was thought proper to
have it opened with some considerable
ceremony, in presence of the cashier, tel
lers, book-keepers, messenger, discount
clerk, and "the President, Directors, &
Co." The time having been appointed
for the ceremony, curiosity was on tiptoe,
the trunk cautiously opened, when, 10 and
behold the only treasure found was one
old decayed tooth. Tho book-keeper sup
poses the trunk contained the remains of
some one when deposited, and the old
tooth was all that was left of the subject.
