CONFLICT BETWEEN STATE AND FEDERAL
COURTS. Two cases pending in Fanqucr Cir.
cult Court under the style OF Owens vs.. J"hn
S. Owens, and Foley VS.. Owens, were up be.
fore Judge Keith, on Thursday last upon very
interesting point oilaw. Three or four years
ago John Caldwell became tho purchaser OF
certain real estate known as the dover land OF
Elizabeth Owens from Commissioners appoint
ed to make sale thereof The sale to hun was
confirmed, and he partially complied with the
terms. Failing to comply fully with his pur-
chase rule was issued aud duly executed upon
him rcturnablc to September term II to show
cause against a resale of the property. No
pronounced. A Receiver was also appointed
effected, CALDWELL upon his own motion was
John S. Fowler became his assignee The
Circuit Court Receiver, Jos. II. Nelson, appli-
ed to Caldwell for possession. He declined to
give it, and in October last said Receiver was
enjoined by Judge Underood of the U. S. Dis
trict Court from executing Judge kcith's de-
cree. The dover land was however advertised for
for resale at the late March Term of the County
Court, and the Commissioners of the Circuit
Court, Messrs.J NJ. Forbes. Eppa Hunton and 4.
Taylor Scott, were enjoined by Judge Under
wood On the first day of the Circuit Court
Commissioners Forbes and Scott reported the
fasts above recited, and that they were inform
ed said Caldwell was committing waste by de-.
structon of timber and unhusband-like cultiva
ton. Thereupon an attachment was issued
against Caldwell. He appeared in response to
this writ and being served with rule to show
cause why he should not be fned for con.
tempt in this, that he had failed to obey
and had obstructcd the execution of the Cir
cult Courts DEGREES. To this rule Caldwell,
through Capt Garden his counsel, made answer
diSclaiming intent to treat the Circuit Court
with contempt, and averred that in all he had
done he had acted under the advice of c. Whit
tlesey, counsel in bankruptcy, or by direction
of Fowler, his assignee. After argument by
r. Taylor Scott, Jno. NJ Forbes and H. r.
Garden, the Court being of opinion that by his
answer Caldwell had not purged himself of the
contempt With which he stood charged, ordered
that he be fued $50, and that he be imprisoned
in the County Jail fora period of ten days, or
until he should pay said fine or purge himself
of contempt of Court by having the restraining
order obtained by bis assignee vacated and an
Duled. Caldwell was committed to jail.
Whether Judge Underwood, who evidently
issued the injunction 10 ignorance Of the pro,
ceedings had in the State Court, will rescined
his order and thus put an end to the conflict
between the Courts, remains to be seem Var
renton Mder.

MURDER OR SUICIDE Charles Scheld, for
ty-6ve years of age, went into the grocery store
of Charles Abrams on the corner of Sixty-se
ond street and Tenth avenue, last night, and
fell dead upon the floor few minutes after.
Upon entering the place he stated to the broth

ed by three men on the Tenth avenue, one of
whom had suddenly pulled out razer and cut
his throat He had barely time to say these
words when he expired Upon examination
it was discovered that the head was almost
severed from the trunk, ADD the wrist of the
left hand was also badly cut, evidently by the
same instrument that had caused the cash no.
der the chin The police are inclined to think
the man committed suicide, as it would almost
seem impossible for any one to wound him in a

TIE BANKRUPT Acr.-A very interesting
and important case involving the construction
Of the recent amendatory bankrupt act of Con-
gress was argued before Judge Underwood, Of
the United States District Court, in Richmond,
on Friday. Ia behalf of Francis Martin, bank
rupt, a petition was filed claiming for him the
exemption as against jud gmcnts allowed by the
recent amendment of the bankrupt act, passed
March 3, 1878 Martin was adiudicated a
bankrupt on the 29th of May, 1868, and OBJ
taued his discharge in November, 1869. The
exemption was claimed out of a fund of s., O32
in the hands of the assignee, being the net
proceeds Of the bankrupt's real estate. Con-
hicting claims to this fund were asserted by
Judgment and deed of trust creditors, there be-
ing question as to which had priority of lien.
The questions that were discussed by counsel
we're:
lst. Is the bankrupt, by reason of his having
been adjudicated bankrupt and obtained his
discharge before the present constitution of
Virginia and homestead law passed, 10 pursu-
auce Of that instrument, took effect, precluded
from asserting his claim for exemption? d.
If not precluded, is he now entitled to ezemp-
ton, as against the judgment liens, assuming
that the judgments have priority to the deed
of trust? These questions we're argued, and
Judge Underwood now has the matter under
consideration, and will announce his judgment
during the term.

\ TOUCHING STORY. Many years ago--ong
anterior to the war-llon AL xander H.
Stephens then leading member Of Congress-
was invited TO address a meeting at Alexandria,
called for the benefit Of an orphan asylum aud
free school 10 that ancient borough. In the
course Of his address, Mr. Stephens related the
following ancclote IL poor little boy, on Il
cold night with no home or roof to shelter his
head, no pate,nal, matcrual, guardian or guide
to protect or direct him on his Way, reached at
nightfall the home Ola wealthy planter, who
took him in, fed and lodged him. and sent him
on his way with his blessing. These kind at
tentions cheered his heart aud inspired him
with fresh courage to battle with the obstacles
of life Years rolled. Providence led him on,
and he reached the legal profession. His kind
host had died, aud the cormorants that prey on
the substance of man had formed a conspiracy
to get from the widow her estates. She sent
for the dearest counsel to commit her cause to
him, and thar counsel proved to be the orphan
boy, long before welcomed and entertained by
her deceased husband. The stimulus of Il warm,
tenacious gratitude was now al ded to the or
binary motive connected with the profession.
He undertook her case with will not to be
resisted; he gained it; the widows estate was
secured to her in perpetuity; and" Mr..
Stephens added with an emphasis of emotion
that sent an electric thrill throughout the house,

SCENE IN CoURT.-The Richmond CORES

MONEY AND THE Coon IT DoEs.-The
Philadelphia North american defends the
accumulation Of wealth in an article from
which we copy as follows:
Money getting is not in itself the evil
it is represented to be- The savages in
Africa, who do not even toll sufficiently to
nave decent houses to dwell in, or clothes
to wear, and who live from day to day
with no thought of the future, are GER
tainly not to be preferred to the money
getters of our great cities. Nor is the
nan who vegetables from year to year on a
small income, which he never increases,
because he has no ambition urging him to
do so, and hlch is not sufficient to ena-
bic him to give to the poor, or to public
objects, or to reli gion or education. If the
word were made up of such people, pro-
gress of any kind would be impossible,
and science and art might date back to the
past, like Chinese civilization. If there
had never been a plutocracy at Florence,
there might never have been Michael
Angelo. And if there had been no pluto
cracy at Venice that splendid city of the
sea would have been a very dull sort of
place. All that is grand in architecture
and beautiful in art in Europe is due to
the rise of opulence and to the liberality of
some gorgeous plutocracy. In America
we make very good use ofwealth. Edu-
cation, religion, charity, benevoIence, art,
science, public works, all receive their
share Of attention Nor can the poor
complain of neglect, since the efforts to
relieve their distresses are great and con-
tinual There must be some Indictment to
induce men to produce inventions and i'm
provements, Or to spend their lives in the
severest toll, or to fix their unremitting
attention upon some one object. And the
attainment of wealth serves that useful
purpose, and therefore it cannot properly
be held to be an evil. The mere pride of
wealth is a thing to be deplored. But we
really find little OF it in America, notwith-
standing all that said to the contrary.
