THE JERSEY NUISANCE WAR.

The Raiders mt Rcst-Explanation from
tho Blood Fcrtilizcrs-What Mcssrs.
Kcency and Culver Say.
The prompt interference OF the Chancellor frus-
trated the designs of those who intended
to renew the attack on tho fertilizing
establishment at Communipaw, and the
guards were accordingly dismissed. Mr..
Hand, secretary Of the company, offers the
explanation In regard to his statement, published
in the HERALD, that Mr.. Payson is entirely blame
less in the conspiracy to defraud the company. He
adds, In reply to Street Commissioner Van Keuren's
statement, setting forth that the fertiizing pro-
cess is carried on under cover OF darkness, that
this very fact proves the anxiety OF the COM
pany to avoid anything like q nuisance.
The company might with great convenience
to themselves leave the blood Of the animals killed
during the day in the casks till the following morn
ing. But in order that no foul smell shall be created
while it is yet fresh No bones have ever been
conveyed into the premises, as was asserted
by those who melted the trouble against the
company. To show the animuS or the attack on
the contract admits that he signed It under are reser.
reservation no stated that II the company should
employ him ut 5000 year he would fulfil his part,
otherwise he would make trouble.
Messrs. Keeney l. Culver deny that they were ar

their case In the following terms:-

Guiding those of Mr. keeney have been directed against

The statement regarding the arrest was given
on Wednesday by Mr.. Hand to the HERALD re.
porter who made further inquiries in relation the
matter yesterday. Mr.. Hand was informed in
positive terms by one OF his counsel, Mr.. ]. b.
vredenburg, that the latter had caused the arrest
OF Messrs Keeney and Culver, and the counsel
was coming out Of the office of Mr..
porter failed to find Mr.. vredenburg,
and thus the matter stands at present. Tho two
affidavts on which the arrests were to be applied
for were made in Mr.. vredenburg's office on Tues
day night. On the following morning his associate
counsel, Mr.. McCarter, argued the application for
an injunction before the Chancellor and the injunc
ton was granted.

He accordingly arranged plan whereby to disturb
the consummatlon OF this project, and marched at
the head OF few selected men to the appointed
scene Of the rencontre. Arriving there he found

THE CAPTURED PUGILTST.
The one who was captured Is Matthew Crawford,
and is twenty-onc years OF age. His antagonist
was young man, named Finn, OF about the same
age. Both men are strong and muscular, but
neither has ever had much professional experience

A letter from David Livingstone the African ex.
plorer, written to the Editor OF the NEW YORK
HERALD, and printed In our columns to-day,
definitely settles all questions as TO the where
abouts OF the noted wanderer. The letter is dated
ut Ujij East Africa, November, 1871, and modestly
and succnctly gives Livngstone's schedule OF
travel and exploration, past and future. This In
teresting communication will convince the few
doubters that the expedition Of the HERALD did &C.
tually discover and communicate with Livingstone

the friends OF Livingstone and OF science.

presses the great explorers gratitude for the send

REFQRMER BLACKMAN.

As Democratic thunderbolt and gilt
edged Customhouse coalition reformer, the
talented and eloquent Senator from Clai-
borne has been a success. We do not
wish to put even a fy-speck upon his
brilliancv, and have heretofore explained
our anxiety to accord him a full need of
praise for all commendable performances,
but he must explain away the charges
General Hunsaker made in open Senate or
forever henceforward dry up
Before we give him further credit for
sincerity in his reform protestations, we
should like to see certificate of the State
Treasurer that he had given up some $1,000
as conscience money" Senator Hun
saAer has presented voucher, drawn in
Biackman favor, for about this amount t;
proves pretty clearly that it was fraudu-
lently issued, and fully that it was paid
and that Blackman receipted for the
money. Until this is made clear. and the
young Democratic statesman exhibits
clean hands, we must withhold our praise
of his reform efforts. And, in the Ian
guage of the neryously anxious Times and
Citizens Guard, will tho congressional
committee please take notice. There is
nothing like knowing the character of Your
witness, YOU know.

AMEND THE LAW.

The regulations defining the duties of Il
United States marshal have not sufficient
scope and range, and bind up our MIR.
Packard in way that chafes his ambi-
tiols soul. He is no common clod, con-
tent to be mere writ server and guardian
of litigated property, but makes puppets
of Senators and lays the nation under
tribute to carry out his plans, as proven
by his own testimony.
We hope the congressional committee
will at once frame bill preventing any
future marshals from being called to ac-
count for hiring tugboats for runaway
Senator's. and detailing his deputies to
command them; appropriating blankets
and mattresses from steamboats, under
seizure and in his official custody, and
failing to return them; or taking any
other advantage of his official position as
will enable him to crush simple State
officer who opposes his peculiar "re-
forms" Such relief may be essential to
avert so great a calamity as The resigna-
ton of Marshal Packard.
