q Man Attempts to 0oWhide an
Editor and Gets Whipped.

Robert f. Stockton, son OF United States
Senator Stockton, attempted to cowhlde
Col. j. Freese, proprietor of the Daily
Sentinel in Trenton, n. j., and received
instead, severe whipping at his hands.
Stockton walked into Col. Freese's banking
house in State street, soon after its opening
for the days business, and called loudly for
the proprietor. Col. Freese politely answer
ed him, when Stockton exhibited copy Of
the Daily Sentinel containing an account OF
brutal assault by Stockton upon a young
shopkeeper, in which Stockton was called q
dangerous young ruffian, who ought to be
indicted -
It was not written by Col. Freese, but by
one of the subordinates of the Sentinel, and
the Colonel refusing to make the apology
demanded, Stockton thereupon drew q stiff
cowhide from under his coat and energetic
ally attacked Col. Freese, who caught him
by the collar and dealt him several blows
with his heavy cane, breaking it over his
~sssilant's head. he then took the cowhide
from Stockton and belabored him until he
broke away and escaped from the office
He ran bareheaded down the street to the
Worthwhile Station, pawned his watch for
SO, and took the through train for Wash
ington.
Col. Freese WAS years ago the editor of
the State GGzette in Trenton, and only
recently resumed his connection with the
press BY purchasing an interest in the Daily
SeHtine{-NeU York Tribune.

THE following frcm the Chicago Repubh
ca,a, gives an adequate notion of the chsrac
ter of the soldier president. In the language
of the general press. it explains itself:
1t has been no uncommon thing for party
organs in the United States TO accuse the
presidents of their own party of party
otfenses. untruth to party principles, or
unfsithfulness to actual or implied party
pledges In respect to individuals or
policy. 1t is the common fate of acceding
vice presidents to suffer under the accuse
tions of party perfdy in general, Accompan
led, for the sake of emphssis, with suggestions
of official malfeasance. But the official
career of Gen. Grant presents case that is
peculiar. He stands charged not so much
with unfaithfulness to his party as official
misconduct and personal meanness and
these are SO well established, so universally
believed, and 40 freely enlarged upon, tina,
the organs of his own party, which speak in
his favor or attempt his vindication, are the
exception, No American president, taking
for it the testimony of the republican press,
was ever more thoroughly despsed or de.
served it better than the one who now dis
honors the highest place in the gift of the
people by his tenancy.

Friday Evening, November IS 1870.

The New York Journal Of Commerce, Of
q late date, contains the following remarks
about the common use of the printed
memorandum of the words "no protest
usually printed to bills forwarded for col
lection:
"There is q very loose way OF forwarding
bills for collection, especially from the IN
terror, with instructions concerning them 10
q pencilled or printed memorandum pinned
to the document, but not repeated IN any
positive form in the letter of Enclosure. A
very common form of this bad habit is the
use OF mere printed memorandum con
tanning the two words mo protest." which
is simply pinned to the bill. The bank or
agent, receiving it, usually adds the direc-
ton opposite the description of the bill in
the letter of advice received with it, but
this would be rather lame evidence of .
positive order, if the printed slip were de-
tached or lost, and with it, is not the most
reliable authority We suggest thorough
reform in this practice. Whenever the
order is to be given not to protest, let
memorandum be made 10 writing IS positive
instructions in the letter of advice. We have
already heard of sltercstions growing out OF
the careless method noted, and some day
those concerned will find the dispute .

loss account"
