We had learned from his war record,
that on the question Of human freedom he
made no backward Increment. He was
elected, and for nearly four years has been
true to tina: most sacred of causes, the liber.
ties of the people, without regard TO race Oh

ScENcIN THE T.. y. CIRCUIrCOURT

The case Of Joseph L. Stewart against the
Kansas Pacific Railway Company, for the
recovery Of certain bonds, amounting in
value to about 500, 0OO.which has been
pending in the United States Circuit Court,
and which has been a leading matter OF in
tcres; this term, and the subject Of several
very able and rather marked discussions be-
tween Mr.. Stewart for himself and the Hon.
John p. Usher and T. A. Green, Esq, OF st.
Joseph, No., for parties opposed to Mr..
Stewart last Wednesday after
noon. His Honor, Judge Dillon, delivered
his opinion Tuesday morning, which over
ruled motion of Judge Usher to obtain
Isave to Gle a series of plea. in abatement.
Then Mr.. Usher asked leave to file cross
bill, which was granted. 1.-TWO O'Clock Judge
Usher read his cross-bill, together with an
affidavit which was offensive to Mr.. Stewart,
who consented that it might be filed, with
leave 10 answer II.
Upon such meeting OF the court, the case
was called, Mr. Stewart announcing himself
ready for trial, he having in the meantime
filed his answer to the cross-bill; when Mr..
.her said he did not desire TO proceed with
tn. trial until he had examined the answer,
and TO which he in,erposed objection, on
account of alleged scandal in its language,
and he thereupon moved the court to strike
OFT certain portions, indicating what they
were: all Of which Mr.. Stewart resisted, say.
iag. in substance, that he admitted the Ian
gusge he had used was wrong, bu: that it was
in reply to very strong allegations in the
cross bill fiIed by Mr.. Usher. which cross
bill Mr.. $. stated was the over-ruled motions
di-hed up in new form, and was now sought
to be perre,rated in their most offensive
shape.
He :ead from the answer, and gave his
reasons in justification to the court, and then
submitted TO the court for such modification,
even il i; extended to his whole answer, as te
the court might seem proper, and again
urged the taking up ofthe case for trial.
Mr.. Usher then stated that he did not de
sire to proceed in the trial until he coult
find a certain missing deposition, naming it
10 which Mr., Stewart replied, pointing 10
basket of papers before him, lyon have
yourself; saw you have it," To this Mr.
Usher instantly answered. "YOuare liar.
At abou, this juncture Mr.. Stewart movet
quickly toward the railing which separated
him from Mr.. Usher, remarking, lo'
are both liar and scoundrel," when Col
Houston, L. S. Marshall, interposed be
tween them, Mr. Stewart continuing by say
inr. "Yon have grossly insulted me, and
will hold you responsible at the propertime,

Mr.. Stewart apologized TO the court, say
