The case Of Larkin Roberts rs. the
town of Cambridge, for injury on the
highway, was tried before arbitrator at
Fairfax, last week Tuesday and Wcdnes-
day; the arbitratOrs being Messrs: A. o.
Brainard. II. NJ. Stevens and s. u. Boyn.
ton, selcctmen Of st. Adams. G.. A.
Ballard, of Fairfax and Edison, of st. AL.
bans, were counsel for the plaintiff; and
Ii. ii. Powers, of Morrisville, for the
town. This was a case, as before stated,
oil alleged injury on the highway, in that
part Of Cambridge known as North Bend
near Owel Curtis house. on the road
between Fairfax and Bakersfeld-and
occurred on the 18th day Of May, 1870.
Plaintiff claimed to have been passing
over this road on a loaded team, and by
reason OF the wheels dropping into ruts
or holes in the road, was thrown from bis
load and received severe and permanent
injuries. A notice was soou afterward
served on the town and a suit commenced
in Franklin County Court. But as mel.
thcr party were ready at tho same time
to try it, the case was continued from
time to tine until this summer they agreed
to take it from court and try it before
arbitrator. Accordingly last Tuesday
the case, after a delay of three years,
came to trial, with a fair prospect of a
speedy and final decision. A summing
up of the evidence on both sides tended
to show that although the road was rough
and bad, with some holes and ruts in it.,
was no worse than all country roads are
in the spring, before the frost is out of
the ground sufficiently TO allow repairing
them, and good enough to be safely driv-
ed over, if the driver was careful instead
OF careless. Also in regard to the nature
and extent Of the i~njnric. received by the
plaintiff, it was made to appear that,
while at the time Of his injuries appeared
TO be Of an aggravated kind, they had not
resulted in anything particularly serious,
or at all pcrma.ant. And further, it ap-
peared from the showing on both sides
that, had the plaintiff been in the cxer-
else of due care and diligence as The law
directs, instead of riding on a sliding and
hence Insecure and c%aIc!oss scat placed
on the top of boxes, ho would not have
fallen from his load and been injured.
The examination of the witnesses occupi-
ed the whole of Tuesday, while the cxam-
i%nation of the piece of road in question,
by the arbitraters and the arguments of
the counsel consumed nearly all of Wcdues-
day. The defence was conducted very
by Mr.. Powers, both in taking the
evidence and in his revic wing argument
for the town. Though no decision bias
yet been rendered in the case, it seems
10 be the prevailing opinion that if a YER
dict for damages is returned at Ri, it will
for a merely nominal sum. Whether
not, the town has tho costs 10 pay, it
not be through the negligence or in
efficiency Of any of the officers. Can-

A Disreputable Congress.

The Forty-second Congress came to its
end yesterday, in almost universal discred-
it. During the last session il came out
that number of It's members in both
Houses had been engaged in corrupt
transactions, and that at least three Sena-
tors were implicated in bribery in procur-
ing their elections. 1t was due to the
American people that Congress should
free itself from all completely with such
men. But, instead of furnishing them to
the utmost Of its power, it scandalously
put itself forward as their apologist and
protector. The House passed weak and
imperative resolutions of censure upon two
of its ten culprits, and let the Others go
unrebuked OF the "Crcdit Mobilier"
Senators, Patterson suffered no further
than to have resolution Of expulsion re-
ported against him to the Senate, which
fell at the adjournment without action.
The evidence showed that, besides having
been in that corrupt business, he had
attempted subornation Of perjury. But
nothing was done by the Senate to vindi-
cate the honor of the body. Harlan's case
received no attention at all beyond the
Just and scathing censure of the committee.
Besides these Senate Credit Mobilier dis
graces, there were at least three instances
where Senators were implicated in bribery
us to their elections, viz, Caldwell and
Pomeroy of Kansas, and Clayton of
Arkansas. Caldwell, of whose guilt the
Committee made clear report, was to
have been let down lightly by declaring
his seat vacant instead of cxpelling him.
But the Senate had not sufficient sense Of
self.respect to do even that, and the case
has gone over to future session. Pome-
roy was let off by disingenuous use Of
the dubious Scotch verdict "not proven"
and Clayton was shamelessly "white-
washed" This is the record of the Senate
in matters which touched its honor and
the dignity Of the American people. Its
action fully warrants the strong language
used by Mr. Beck of Kentucky in the
House. Speaking of the numerous Job.
bling" amendments with which the Senate
loaded every one Of the Appropriation bills,
he said, chad as the House of Representa-
tiyes may be, it is to-day an honester body
than the Senate of the United States"
This censme is deserved by the body
which palliated, excused and protected
Caldwell, Pomefoy, Clayton, Harlan and
Patterson, instead of expelling them in

THE CONFLICT IN LOUISIANA.
Battle between Police and Militia--0ne
Killed and Several Wounded Inter
ference Of Federal Troops, &c.


NEW ORLEANS, March 5.-The seventh
precinct station was quietly taken posses
sion of last night by the McEnery militia.
No resistance was offered BY the metropol-
itan police on duty there, and no effort has
been made to-day to displace the mililia.
For twenty squares tonight only one po-
liceman was found on duty. They have
been withdrawn from their beats, and con
centrated about the stations around Me-
chanics Institute.
LATER.--At half past 0 o'clock tonight
squad Of so men attacked the third pre-.
cinct station, firing Into the building.
They were repulsed by the police, but were
quickly reinforced by about 800 men.
These were attacked by Gen. Badger with
about 240 policemen and piece of artil-
lery, and for about Ave minutes sharp
battle ensued. Both parties maintained
their position during this time, but at
second discharge Of the cannon the militia
retreated through Jackson Square, and
half an hour later the police relieved their
comrades who remained during the con-
flict within the building. One man, Mr..
Hartman, was killed and several were
wounded.
As far as known only one policeman
was wounded. At one time the firing was
quite brisk, resembling somewhat picket
skirmish.
United States troops, about IL O'Clock
reached the scene of conflict and the re-.
naming militia retired, leaving them in
possession.
The Kelloggites are jubilant, and the
McEneryites quite the reverse. United
States troops now occupy jackson Square
and other points in the city, and will no
doubt prevent further disorder.
All reports about compromise are I'M
founded. As telegraphed Saturday COM
promise is improbable; in fact it is now
regarded as impossible.
A company of United States cavalry at
one O'Clock passed up Camp street to Gen.
Emorys headquarters, but soon after re-
turned to Jackson Square. They are held
in readiness to assist the police in rcpel-
ling any attack that may be made.
A dispatch dated the 9th, says The
city is perfectly quiet this morning. 1t is
now stated that Gov. McEnery did not
authorize the movement by the militia last
night. The Metropolitans are in quiet
possession, with the United States troops
within easy supporting distance. The mi
litia are all dispersed.
The citizens generally reoard the attack

Fatal Man Trap.

The Lancaster Eramiaer gives the fol-
lowing particulars of tragedy which
occurred early on Thursday morning last
in Columbia Pa. The people of this city
were thrown into a state Of excitement
this morning by the startling report that a
negro, named John Burrill, was shot dead
while in the act of stealing chickens from
the coop Of Mr.. jesse Pennepacker, who
resides on Front street near Bogel's mill
in the Borough of Columbia. 1t appears
that Mr.. Pennepackers chicken coop has
been robbed on two different occasions this
winter, and he determined to FIX" the
law-breaking chap, whoever he might be.
In accordance with his design he procured
gun and loaded it with powder and buck
shot. This dangerous weapon he then
arranged in his chicken coop, with the
muzzle pointed to the entrance. The end
of a small piece of wire was then fastened
to the trigger of the gun and the other
end to the door Of the coop so that if it
was opend by any one who had no right
to open it he would receive the contents

EXCITING EvENT.-We noticed on Fri

the brave act of a police officer The ship
Sparta recently arrived at New York with
four Asiatic elephants, horned horse,
three black tigers, mongoose, a black
Sumatran rhinoceros and other rare ami
mails, and many curious birds. The rhi-
noceros had just been landed with difficult
ty, when plank in the bottom ofthe tigers
cage broke, and one Of the beasts fell
through. An exciting scene then took
place. The elephants, who were standing
quietly in the street, were seized with a
frenzy, and began stampede, Chains
were snapt asunder as of mere threads,
and the animals moved away at the utmost
speed The tiger in the meanwhile had
fastened on horse standing in the street.
had killed him, and was growing over its
repast. Policeman Monroe then walked
quietly up to the beast and killed il by a
shot in vital part from his revolver. II
was brave act, and deserves passing
mention.
