A THING.

We have heard of . great many COO
things, but the coolest thing We ever saw
Wa In an eating saloon Down East.
A lsthy fellow. We don't know bis Other
name, entered the room and ordered q
double stew Of oysters. The man who
kept the establishment was q small. red
hesdsd individual, evidently very highly
tempered. He prepared the stew in
quick dine, and the latby fellow sat down
70 bic rvpast, and ate with 10 envisb'e
relish ; after which be selected q first
class cigar and RECALLED himself with a
mug of foamipg ale, sitting with bis feet
tilted on top Of the stove.
He was very deliberate and perfectly
self possessed. 49, .5s,r .
After the cigar had mostly disappeared
in smoke, be called for bis bill.
"Sixty five cents" said the proprietor.
"How is that :" asked the customer.
Fifty cents for the double stew, and
fifteen cents for the cigar"
"You forget the ale," remarked the
lathy fellow, looking quite serious.
"Ah, yes, that is ten cents more ; sew
enty.dve cents"
"Well, l an ready to pay for it."
The red headed man made no reply,
add the lathy fellow kept bis seat.
After a few minutes, during which time
the cigar was finished, be again spoke.
II tell you l Am ready to pay my bill"
~Wel, pay it. theu." said the proprie
tor.
"Ihsia't got no money @t
"Haint got no money 7" repeated the
man OF. refreshments. RE-
"Not . burned cent"
The red headed man cboked q little.
- Then how do you expect to pay your
bill p
"Well, I'll tell yca-Il stand seventy.
five cents worth Of your jaw-so 60
ahead !"
The red beaded man was the maddest
individual We ever saw. He seized the
nut-crscker, and let it fly at the head of
the offender, With q will but it only bit
the cbair-back, and broke it's own handle.
The latby fellow bad gone He vscat-
ed bis seat at the nick Of time ; aud the
last we ever saw Of him be was walking
very leisurely down the street.

REOHmOND.

RICHMOND, May lO.-Chief Justice
Chase this morning delivered an opinion
on an appeal from Judge Underwood s
decision in the District Court, declaring
null the sentence of Judge Shelley, OF the
State Court, on the ground OF Shehey s
iueligibility under the Fourteenth
Amendment. The case was that OF
Cesar Griffin, negro who was sentenced
to the penitentiary for shooting a man.
The Chief Justice read the opinion that
as State government in Virginia had
been recognized all during the war by
Congress IS, first at Wheeling, and then at
Alexandria, and the action OF the Govern
mentIn dividing the State had been recog--
nized by the Federal Government, and
the Senators and representatives elected
by that Government had been allowed
seats in Congress, and it was under this
Government that Judge Shelley had been
appointed, and be was therefore a legal
Judge az far as the State Government
was concerned, and the question now
comes I'D whether, being ineligible, he
was absolutely removed by the opera
tons of the Fourteenth amendment. The
Court said the Supreme Court unsni-
mously concurred in the opinion that
prisoner sentenced by Judge de tdcto,
though not a Judge de iure, could not
be reached by a writ of habeas corpus.
The decision of the District Court was
reversed, and Ce ,ar Griffin was remanded
to the State authorities.
In tie United States Circuit Court this
morning, Peter Phillips, who is sentenced
to be hung on next Friday morning, was
brought before the Court on writ OF
habeas corpus, and remanded to the State |
authorities on the ground that he was
sentenced before the Fourteenth amend |
ment was promul gated.
