Chase soon after the cabinet was appointed These
gentlemen repaired 20 the White House. and were
cordially received by the president. Hardly had
the conversation been commenced, however, when
an usher bolted into the apartment, and rudely
said to the president, You are wantedv 'Yes,'
curily responded Lincoln impatient at the intru-
sion. The usher left, and the consultation was re.
s1med. Ii had gone forward only few minutes
when the usher. again entered. and, with marked
emphasis said to the president, she wants you y
snd nodded 10 the company with an air that more
tnsn minated, "You are not wanted" Lincoln
hastily retired throwing some apology behind him,
when Wadsworth proposed that the COMMITTEES
themselves should pay their respects to the lady
Of the mansion. Cards were sent in and the gem
tlemen soon followed. The manner in which the
lady received her distinguished visitors plainly
showed that she wss ready for an encounter with
the heads Of the anti.seward faction Bridlnr up,
she1Dformed them that ahe learned II had been re-
ported that she interfered with her husbands af-
fairs, but she wanted them to distinctly understand
that this was not true. The icy interview soon
terminated, when the LADY sailed out OF the apart
ment. Waosworth, as the bsflediRa retreated
down the steps OF the White House, sarcastically
that before he took part In electing
another president, he would inquire into the nature
OF his coDjugal relations"

adjourned the court. IL was expected that Judge
Campbell would have replied yesterday, but the
case was then merely called and fixed for Friday
and Saturday next.
FOURTH DISTRICT CouRT.-Judge Theard,. Of
the Fourth District Conrt rendered nine judg-
ments yesterday. Though important to the par
ties. these Judgments are of no particular interest
10 the public. The dockets OF the Fourth Court,
through the industry and dispatch OF Judge
Theard, are now entirely clear. The sppealable
docket, the unsppealable, the summary and the
promissory note dockets. are all ditto. When
case is brought before Judge Theard the parties
have not long to wait for decision.
SEVENTH DISTRICT CoURr.-Dr. Armand Mer-
cier, an able and well known physician Of this
city, sues the Csrrollton Railroad Company In the
sum of $4,000 damages. viz:
He alleges that in Sept, 1867, whilst driving
across the corner of Erato and st. Charles
streets, car of the railroad was violently driven
against his buggy; and that, from the effect Of
the collision, bis buggy was knocked clean across
the street, and he and his driver thrown down
upon the public road. That not only the buggy
was injured and badly damaged, the harness
broken, and bis horse bruised msterially-but his,
petitioners, personal injuries were painful and
arm having been lacerated and con.
fused, occasioning an annoying wound which
required to be dressed and cared for
during upwards or q month and which has left be-
bind stiffness and adebility which still exist, and
probably will not disappear. Two nails on the
doctors fingers Of the right hand were partially
torn away, the articuations OF the medium fingers
of the same hand were violently distended. occa-
sioning in that portion q rheumatismal affection
which has proved very painful, and still swells
the finger and renders it powerless. That this in
jury is smost irreparsbe considering that for The
successful practice OF bis profession steady, dex
ferrous and accurate hand is requisite and hence he
estimates the occasional disability to have proved
an injury to him of at least SIC, 900 in damages.
Petitioner also alleges that the collision and the
consequent suferings and injuries to him, were the
result Of the improper conduct and want of skill
and attention the part of the driver of the Car
rollton car who is an employ of the company,
and, yet more So the result of the multifarious
duties and charges improperly imposed upon and
required of said driver by the company, which
constantly call his attention away fiom the front
Of the car.
Doctor Mercier therefore calls for Judgment
against the Carrollton railroad for $4,000 dam.

The jury before whom the case is now being
tried is composed OF four white men and eight
niggers. The case will probably be left to the
jury for q verdict sometime during this day.

nSApA couple of - mhrella menders,"
a class OF persons who are getting TO be
curse to every community, yesterday
entered the boarding house, corner OF
Broad and Grand streets. and begged
something to eat. The walters, full OF
sympathy for the distressed of all ia
tions, kindly listened to their appeals,
aud went in search of the desired food.
During the abst nee of the walters, the
umbrella men busted themselves in Sc
creting about their persons sundry arti-
cles Of clothing, together with the jack
cts of the two walters, who We're up
stairs catering for the wants of the
thieves. The hasty exit of the rascalS
from the house attracted the suspicious
of gentleman at work on the opposite
side of the street, who at once rang the
bell of the clearinghouse, and in
quired if anything had been stolen-as
he had the moment before observed two
suspicious looking leaving the house. -
The walters, who by this time had sup
piled themselves with eatubles, were
mortified, and no amount OF coincidence
could assuage their hearty outbursts of
anger, at the course which the thieves
had taken, in having stolen their jack
cts. Starting in pursuit, the walters
! found Constable CLASSIFY, who also join-
ed in the race. Overtuking one of the
rascais, who was making Dexter time
up the railroad, tine officer OF the law
seized him by the nape OF the neck,
and brought him mp . all standing,
greatly to the surprise of the thief, and
the infinite amusement of the philan-
thropic put unfortunate walters. The
rascal was bewildered at the state of
affairs, but the ironlike grip of the
Constable compelled him to acknowl-
edge the corn, and caused him to dis
gorge the stolen property, alter which
he begged his release, stating that he
didn't wish to g go up for SIX months,
as this would necessarily prevent his
visiting Long Branch and other water
ing places during the coming summer.
Constable CLASSIFY couldn't see it, and
took him before Justice Noe, who com
mitted him to the County Jail.
