PERSONAL ENCOUNTER - A CowuIpISa
AFFAR.-Qulte commotion was occasioned
among the clerks OF the Patent Office yester-
day afternoon by q personal encounter be-
tween Mr.. Samuel A. Duncan, secretary to
the Commissioner OF Patents, and Mr.. W.
II. Dempsey, Of the firm Of Dempsey &
O'Toolc, stationers, OF this city. The facts
of the affair are about as follows: II is well
known to our readers that the firm Of Demp-
sey & O'Toole have recently been brought
prominently before the public by reason Of
certain Investigations which have been made
by a Congressional committee.
Some time ago Secretary Browning ordered
an investigation Of the contracts with the
Patent Office for stationery, and Mr.. Demp-
sey was examined by this committee, and a
copy Of his testimony was given the Com
missioner OF Patents. By the published re-
port, just issued from the Government print
ing office, IL appears that Mr.. Duncan re-
viewed the testimony Of Mr.. Dempsey and
characterized II as not entitled to credence,
and In fact attempted to show that the evi-
dence given was that Of perjured witness.
This published report met the eye Of Mr..
Dempsey yesterday, and he called upon Mr..
Duncan, submitted copy Of the offensive
publication TO him and demanded to know II
he was Its author. Upon receiving an affirm
ative reply, Mr.. Dempsey took Mr.. Duncan
by the collar and proceeded to deal vigorous
blows upon the body with a cowhide with
which he was armed. Before very serious
injury could be done the clerks and commits
sioner, who had been drawn to the "scene Of
conflict" by the hubbub, interfered and the
parties were separated.
The affair, occurring as 1t did about $50
o'clock in the spacious corridor OF the Patent
Office, naturally created great excitement,
and in few moments quite crowd col
lected to inquire about the affair. Order
was soon restored, however, and Mr.. Demp.
sey proceeded to his store, while the clerk.
| resumed their duties.

DISTRICT sUrRkxE CouRT-Gsnsrai Term.
Chief Justice Cartier and Justices wylie
and 0lin sat IN bane yesterday, and were oc-
cupied with the following business:
James Corbitt vs.. The Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad Company. This Is an action
twice tried below-to recover s20, 200 dam.
ages alleged to have been sustained by him
In consequence Of O collision between the
wagon on which the plaintiff was riding and
a railroad train on the Washington branch,
at the II street crossing, on the Path Of July,
1854. On the FIRST trial a verdict for $4,000
was given, but q new trial was obtained; but
at the new trial damages to the amount Of
$1,000 was given.
Messrs. Cox and Buchanan, for the appel.
liant, contended that the court below made
an error In allowing evidence to show that
no signalman was kept at the II street cross,
Ing, as there was no law requiring this idcn.
tical precaution, and such evidence, doubt.
less, inhaled the Jury. Second, because the
court erred In granting the prayers Of both,
as they are counter propositions and cannot
both be correct. Third, because one OF the
prayers Is so vague as TO mislcad the Jury.
Messrs. Dayidgc and Coz sustained the
opinion OF the court below.
At the close Of the argument the court
took the papers and held the case under ad'
vlsement.
Jonas Carruth Is appointed a county con.
