SfitroS AND GAninEo. o.--some papers have
recently been laid before the French Institute
containing newly discovered letters written by
Milton to Louis XIV, Moliere and others.
The principal topic Of these letters is Calico,
the astronomer, whom Milton had visited at
Florence and for whom he conceived the great
est admiration. Great doubt is felt as to the
authenticity of these letters, since they are
produced by the same man who not long since
laid before the public the forged letters pur-
porting to have passed between Newton and
Pascal, aud which were intended to prove that
the discoveries claimed by Newton were really
made by Pascal.

the establishment to Messrs. Marcus and Oscar

for disposing Of the establishment that his

firm our opinion that the Colonel is to be the
Democratic candidate for Governor and is to
take the stump.

GEORGE T. CREEcH of Freeport sold alcohol
twice to Dr. Hyde of that village and once to
a shoemaker-the spirit being used in all the
eases for medicinal or mechanical purposes.
Mr.. Creech was thereupon indicted in the Su-
perior Court of this county as a common seller
and was found guilty by the jury. His coun-
sci moved for new trial and in granting the
motion Judge Goddard delivered an opinion
in which he lays down two propositions; First,
the alcohol of commerce is clearly within the
scope of the provisions of the prohibitory law
OF this State, and persons selling it even for
mechanical or medicinal purposes is liable to
prosecution. Second, the facts disclosed in
this case are not such as to make the defend
ant liable as a common seller, though he is lias
BILE to prosecution and punishment for each of
the three unlawful sales. A common seller is
one who sells frequently, usually, CUSTOMARY
ly, habitually." The number of single sales
that would bring person within the rule can
not be specifically stated, but Judge Goddard
is of the opinion that Mr.. Creech's three sales,
under the circumstances do not constitute him
common seller

The Springfield Republican tells two new
stories about Gen. Butler. That irrepressible
gentleman means to succeed Wilson in the
Senate, and the tug of war will come at the
election for members of the Legislature Of
1871. The other story is that Gen. Butler,
who is counsel for John Russell Young in his
libel suit against the Sun, was saved from the
hostility Of the Tribune in last falls campaign
by the friendship of his present client, who had
influence enough over Mr.. Greeley to keep him
quiet, though he thoroughly detested the Gen

the decrepitude that might have heen expect

sensibility to the wishes of Copperheads on
the battlefield that he does in the performance
of his civil functions:

THE AFFRAy ON DANFoRTH STREET.-The
affray on Danforth street Thursday night
turned out less serious in it's effects than was
anticipated at the time, although the account
in the Press was good as far as it went. The
man Gillian, or Gallon as he spells his name,
was able to appear in the Municipal Court yesl
terday morning and give his testimony, al
though he stated that he felt pretty badly and
looked seedy. He had large plaster on the
side of his head. He stated that be was sit
ting, on Thursday afternoon, ON the steps of
Mister Quin-who lives near Margaret Garlic
ton-and that Margaret enticed him to go into
her shop and treat. Her shop and kitchen are
on the same floor of her house. He went in
and treated Margaret and young girl who
was there to about sixty cents worth of beer.
Then he went off to his supper. Came back
in the evening and inquired for the girl and
was talking with Margaret, who dunned him
for the plice of the beer, when he saw Thomas
Welsh 1.-THE only other person present besides
Margaret and HIMSELF throw stone pop-beer
bottle which hit him in the back and knocked
him down, and that then Margaret struck him
with something Che wouldn't swear it was the
axe) and threw him out the door, when the
neighbor's carried him off to his boarding
house. Margaret Carleton's and Mrs Gillian
testimony was substantially the same as that
given in yesterdays paper, except that Marga-
ret declared in Court that she nevsr hit Gallon
at all, but that he struck her.; that she threw
him out of the house and probably that was
how his head got cut. Testimony was intro
duced to show the house was disorderly, that
the axe had blood stains and hair on the pole
and that Margaret had been before the Court
at aformer time. The Judge said that owing
to the evidence, and his knowledge of the wo-
man from facts such as are known in a police
office about certain persons, he should hold her
for trial at the criminal term of the Superior
Court in September. As there was no evil
dence-further than that of the complainant,
which seemed to be rather shaky as to the
blow with the bottle-against Thomas Welch
