Court of Memphis, on a charge Of contempt,
his wife assumes, in the following card, the

The REPORTED BRIBERY CAsE.-Thc fol-
lowing card" appears in Hunnicutt's paper,
and is dated Richmond, Virginia, March 20,
1865:
Some time in April last, Mr.. John Hawx-
hurst came into the office OF the u. $. District
Court in Alexandria, and stated that he was in
want of funds to complete the organization OF
the Republican party in Virginia, and asked
Judge Underwood if he did not think that be
(HaWxhurst) could collect money for that pur-
pose by going North and soliciting contrlbu-
lions from influential Republicans, and cspeci-
ally mentioned Chief Justice Chase and his
friends.
This course the Judge discouraged, and ad-
vised him that the funds should be raised at
home, and that he thought it would be very
difficult matter to raise money abroad; that
were it during the excitement of a Presidential
campaign, he could easier raise one hundred
thousand dollars, than to raise one thousand
now. He also told Mr.. H., that he had no
idea Judge Chase would contribute dollar,
and doubted his conserving to be candida tie
for Office, as he had heard him say he thought
his present position the most dlgnltied and
desirable in the Government.
Hawxhurst then stated the amount ncces-
sary for the purpose Of organization to be two
thousand dollars, and the Judge drew up q
subscription list pledging the signers to con-
tribute the sums opposite their respective
names to the amount of two thousand dollars,
and subscribed one-tcnth of that sum, or two
hundred dollars, on condition that the two
thousand dollars should be raised at home and,
at the same time, | subscribed like amount.
This list Hawxhurst took away for the pur-
pose of getting subscribers, but was unsuccess-
full, and finally went to New York to solicit
contributions with like success.
This is 4 simple statement OF the conversa-
ton occurring in my presence, and which has
thus been tortured into the lie recently started
and circulated in this city.

The McARDLE CAsE.-The Washington

correspondent of the Baltimore Sun says
SAT consultation of the Judges Of the Su-
preme Court on Friday. the McArdle case came
up in regular order for determination: A prop
osition was made to postpose further action
upon the case, until after the legislation now
pending before Congress to regulate appeals in
such cases shall have been concluded. This
was objected to by two Of the judges, on the
ground that the court is not charged with off
cial knowledge of the mere tendency Of such
legislation, and that the court could take no
judicial notice of legislative action until Con,
gress has finally passed bill, and the same has
become law in due form. A vote was taken
upon the proposition to postpone, and six
judges voted for postponement and two against
it. So the case goes over until after the Presi-
dent S prospective veto shall have been acted
upon in Congress. It appears the court is d.
vided upon the question whether or not it is in
the power of the legislative branch to wrest a
cause from the court after jurisdiction has been
ACQUIRED. y 90 q

A correspondent of the Rochester

in greenbacks. At that time gold was

the equivalent of hut $4,000 in
gold. Upon this he has received
in gold $4,000 interest, or fifteen
per cent. upon his gold investment.
His exemption from taxation amounts
to two or three per cent. more. In four
years upon loan of SAC, 200 gold, he has
received S24 900 gold interest which ad-
ded to his tax exemption foots up about
$50, 900. The principal Of his debt was
payable, under the law, in legal-tender
currency. To so pay it now in green.
