The Person OF LADY VIOLATED
The work Of crushing out the people Of
Arkansas still goes on. Each day we
are required to chronicle some new out
rage that makes the hair stand on end like
the quills''of a fretful porcupine. Yester-
day the black fends Of Clayton's power
went to the house of Mr.. JEFF. Reeves,
living near Marion, and in most diabol-
ioal and shameful manner violated the
person of his wife. The lady is we'll
known by good mady persons in this
city, and is highly respectable. After
the party Of robbers had left Mr..
Reeves house, they went over to
where the clerk of the county,
Mr. swepstop, lived, and performed
he valorous deed Of kicking Mrs.
Watson out of the house, a lady living
with and keeping house for the Radical.
These are'only some Of the occurrences
the most outrageous that the people Of
Arkansas are subject to daily. Clayton
and his militia are having their day, as
every dog has. The people will be
righted some other day.

AFFRAx IN THE CHAscERY CoURT
RooN-THHEE MEN WoUSDED.-We take
the following statement Of an ARRAY yes.
terday from this mornings Aralanche
A shooting ARRAY occurred yesterday
at the door of the Chancery Court room,
corner of Union and Second streets,
which caused intense excitement, and
was the subject Of general conversation
all afternoon. After sitting the different
accounts-and no two were alike-we
have arrived at the following particulars,
going back little into the history of an
old family quarrel:
DR.. Samuel Dickens and VIM. Dickens
were the sons of Thomas Dickens. They
married two daughters of the late Isaac
l.. Bolton, wealthy citizen of this
county. William Dickens died during
the war. E c. Psttison married his
widow. Thomas Dickens administered
on the estate of his deceased son and
filed bill in chsnrery against Patti
son and wife for settlement of their &C.
counts with the estate. Pattison and
wife then filed bill against Thos. Dick
ems, alleging that be was a resident OF
the State of Missouri, and getting an in.
junction to prevent the removal of the
assets out of the State. Dickens denied
this allegation in plea in abatement
This raised an issue, which has been con-
tested with great personal bitterness. In
July last John NJ. Carmack, one of Pat.
tison's attorneys, was taking the deposi.
ton of Mr.. Hill in Big Creek neighbor-
hood, when DR.. Sam Dickens, who was
present, disputed the statements of the
witness and created disturbance.
The deposition was taken, and while
Mr.. Carmach was reading it in the Chan
Gerry Court yesterday, DR.. Dickens be-
came enraged again, and commenced
an angry conversation with Pattison in
the courtroom, and went to the door.
bsntering Pattison, who followed. Dick.
ems was outside, and as Pattisop
reached the door pistols were fred.
There are various opinions among
those who were present as to who
shot first, and as to how many
shots were fired. Pattison was slightly
wounded in the left arm, and a ball
struck Robert Fl. Thompson, who was
inside the courtroom, near the groir.
The ball struck his pocket knife, and was
thus prevented from iuhicting vital
wound. The ball was cut out of the back
part Of his thigh by DIR. Taylor, and he is
thought to be doing well. There was great
confusion in the court room. Chancellor
Smith fined DR.. Dickens and Pattison
fifty dollars each, and ordered them both
to Jail for ten days. The case went on,
and will be further heard to-day. The
counsel engaged in the case are Car
mach, and Stephens Il Smith for Patti
son, and Col. Finley for Dickens,
Public ledger. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1865-1893, 1869-01-16

A PIoKPocKET. John Morton was
yesterday trying his hand at the business
of picking pockets. An old gentleman
from the country was down on the land
ing trying to hire hands, when his
pockets were picked by some one: and
this negro, Morton, confesses to have
seen the thing done, and afterward
picked the pocket of the thief. For his
expertness he was fined fifteen dollars.
