BNCKLEY ON HIS MUSCLE. .st
This morning about eight o'clock John M.
Binckley, ex-Solicitor, and Mr.. Rollins, ex-
Commissioner of Internal Revenue, met at the
corner of and 18th streets, opposite Wizards
Hotel. Buckley threw away his coat and
cane and attempted to strike Rollins with his
list. Rollins not caring to engage in collis-
ion. ran along f. street and up 10Th street to-
wards the revenue Office. Binckley pursued
him until Rollins had nearly reached the reve-
nue. office. Buckley on his way home, after
this occurred, met Deputy Commissioned Har-
Ill
with the enquiry whether he would fight He
responded afirmatively, whereupon Binckley
knocked Harland down. Harland was being
severely beaten when the crowd interposed
and separated them. These meetings were
casual This version comes from the friends
of Buckley.
Later.-The difficulty which occurred this
morning between j. M. Buckley and Mr.. Har-
land, was caused it is said, by the former max
ing an attack on the latter, as he was passing
along the street on his way to his office Sew.
eral blows were struck by both parties. Har.
land was knocked down and received several
Commissions about the head. Binckley's cloth.
ing was torn pretty badly in the scuf1e.
THE HERALD's nseIvNGs.
NEW YORK, March 1.-The Herald's Wash
ington dispatch says there are signs of an ap
preaching unpleasantness between President
Grant and the radical branch of Congress. Ii
the first place the Senators are in a sour condi
ton because Grant has failed to consult then
about his Cabinet or anything else In th,
second place they don't relish the men he la.
called abont him as constitutional advisers
and in the third place they are disposed t,
kick against repeating the civil tenure BILL
The substantial dificulty.will doubtless grow
| out of the last mentioned cause.

IMPORTANT MESSAGE BY GOV.

IMPORTANT MESSAGE BY GOV. BULLOCK.
ATLANTA, Ga, March 10.-The Governors
message transmitting the fifteenth amendment
was taken up and read by both Houses to-day
The Governor says it is source of great graf
ifcation to lovers of liberty and republican
principles throughout, the country, that Con.
gress has given this further pledge that the
declaration of our fathers shall be recognized
as a reality, and no longer be considered as a
mere empty sound. The equal right of every
man, whether by himself or as an elected rep
resentative to participate in framing laws by
which he is to be governed and to select persons
to execute them, is the very foundation of Re-
publican government; and that one race or
color shall undertake to exclude from political
privilege any other race or color is not only a
practical denial of the principles on which our
independence was originally declared and the
government subsequently founded, but dis
plays thirst for power natural it is true to hu-
man nature, but by no means creditable to its
sense of justice. The colored race is almost
free all over this broad land. This amendment
if adopted by three-fourths of the States repre-
scented in the Union, completes their freedom.
1t will then be written in the fundamental law
above strife of faction and reach of passion,
that all men without distinction of race or
color shall have equal political privileges.

NO ADDITIONAL DUTIES ASKED ON SUGAR.
The committee of the Chamber of Commerce
to which was submitted a memorial and petit
ton to Congress from the Philadelphia sugar
re6ners, asking an increase OF duties on sugar,
reported that the present condition of the SUI
gar refining interest don't seem to require Con-
gressionall aid; that the sugar planting inter-
est of the South appears prosperous enough
under the present tariff to render additional
duties unnecessary; that the general senti-
ment of the people is. unfavorable to higher
duties, therefore they cannot petition Congress
for higher duties on any grade of sugar

THE ROGERS MURDER .


New YORK, March 11.-Another strange de-
vel0pment is now made in reference to the
Rogers murder. A man under the assumed
name of Cunningham, WHO'S confined in the
White Plains prison on charge of bigamy,
having married two young ladies within thir-
ty-six hours, has made marvellous statement
duplicating Logan No. 2, which he expresses
himself willing TO swear TO and prove, provid-
ed he is guaranteed from prosecution on the
charge of bigamy. His second wife, he states,
was discarded mistress of Logan, who had in
her possession letters and documents showing
thai Logan was. Watching his opportunity to
murder Rogers in revenge for evidence he had
given against him some time BEFORE and he
married her to obtain these documents, Logan
being close friend of his and having offered
him pecuniary inducements for them. Logan
afterwards, however, went back on him, and
he now makes the statements in retaliation.

HAVANA, March lit appears that an ex-
petition from the United States, Nassau or
Inagua has landed on the Cuban coast The
captain of a Spanish vessel, which arrived
here to-day, reports that ON Sunday last, while
east of Tuntamula, he saw fleet, consisting
of one side wheel steamer, barque rugged,
and three other steamers, schooner rugged,
steering N. E.; shortly afterwards he passed a
side wheel steamer, barque rugged. which was
anchored two miles from Guincho Keysss A
report has been in circulation for some time
past in Cuban circles that an expedition was
under way to these shores, bringing cannon,
arms, ammunition and recruits to the insur-
gents. A committee of conservative citizens
have been organizing bands of volunteers, who
are sent out daily in all directions to seour the
country Other towns seem disposed to follow
the example of Matanzas.
The news from the jurisdiction of Cienfue-
COS is favorable to the Government. The Gov
crnor OF Sagua la Grande having received re-
Inducements from Villa Clara, has marched
with all his available forces against the insur-
gems, VINO nave tor some time past made their
headquarters on the San Jose plantation.
In the eastern department the Government
troops are very active. Columns have left
Santiago Bayamo to attack the main fores OF
the insurgents at Magari.

200 strong has arrived at Colonia de st. Do
