The following is the reply of T. B. Kings
land, cashier and managing man of the bn-
siness in New York of Hon. Jas. Brooks,
to the above letter, which was published
here this p. m.
The discrepancy in the amount Of the
checks alleged to be given, arises from the
fact that the first statement publish d,
mentioned check for ten thousand dol
lars instead of seven thousand dollars as
now set forth. The check of seven thous-
and dollars and the draft for three tho1s-
and dollars, if such exist as is stated, were
Of some loans to Durant set forth in the
Kingsland letter below.
Ne,0 York, Jan. S.-Desr Sir: James
Brooks loaned large sums of money to T.
@. Durant at different times, and also to
the Union Pacific Railroad. As his cashier
and business manager, must have made
all the settlements and drawn all the
checks, and l settled all accounts with
Crane, Mr.. Durant's manager, both for the
loans snd the Union Pacific Railroad. Mr.
Brooks check-book shows no check for
$4,000 to Durant or S5,233 SO, and 1 nev-
er, acting for Brooks with Crane, paid for
any 100 or 80 shares OF Credit Mobilier for
Chas. II. Nelson. am certain that Brooks
could not have made any such large opera
tons in money without his check account
showing it. They made no such showing.
Very respectfully,

CONTAGIOUS DISEASES SPREAD BY
EEEES.

A curious and perhaps important discov-
cry is stated to have been made recently
by Mr.. Kletzinsky, Viennese professor.
Noticing that persons sick with the small
pox were often visited by flies, he placed
near an open window ofthe hospital a sau-
Ger filed with glycerine. Soon the flies gath
cred and were csught like birds with glue.
In their endeavous to free themselves, all
the foreign matter which had adhered 10
them was left in the glycsrine, which was
at once submitted to observation with the
microscope. 1t was found that the elycer-
inc which was chemically pure when off
cred to the flies, was full Of strange cells
very similar to those seen on persons at
tackled by small pox, but never on fies--a
discovery which proves conclusively that
these insects are not only filthy, but can be
a very dangerous means Of spreading con-
tagious diseases.

ANOTHER SOLOMON ON THE BENCH
From the New Orleans Pieayune.


A short lime since worthy Magistrate Of
this city bad rather difficult question to
decide, in the solution Of which be struck
out path hitherto unknown in juTisprud-
eGce. 1t seems that twelve negroes appear
ed before him, each one of whom swore
positively that himself and the other eleven
had done certain amount of work on a
steamboat, and was entitled thereby to
wages. 1t was a steady streak, each of the
dozen swearing precisely the same. On
the other side appeared The mate of the
boat and eleven deck hands, who al twelve
swore directly and point blank to an Op-
posite state Of facts to those testified to by
The twelve plaintiffs. Hare the evidences
closed, leaving the Judge to make up his
mind.
His honor scratched his head, looking
wise, pondered 8 few moments, and then
said: 9The law makes it the duty of the
court, when in doubt, to weigh the evil
dence. shall proceed to do so in this case.
YOU" turning to one of the sueing darkeys,
stake your crowd over to hir. -, Ia gro
Gerry store ia the viclnity,) and have them
weighed, and bring me certificate OF their
weight from the clerk. And yOu," turning
10 the mate, "do the same with yourself and
ment somehow"
The mandate of the court was obeyed;
the contestants appeared with their respec-
tive certificates, the mates party outweigh
ing the other nine pounds, which was sutfi-
Gent to turn the scales of Justice, for judg-
menb was given for the boat.
