THURsDAY.-Edmond Grant VS.. Henry Downing
ct al. Assumpsit on this note:
LEBANON, Oct. 18th, 1873.
For value received we promise to pay to the order
of Edmend Grant $500 in thirty days after date.
(Signed) HENRY DOWNING.
FRANK DOWNING.
Defense-True, we signed that note, and have new
or paid it. We defend on the ground of Illegal con-
sideration. The note was given in part for intoxi-
eating liquors.
Reply-True, at the time sold my hotel at Leban-
on in February, 1873, sold them, among other
things, some $77.5o worth of cider and s3910 worth
of rum. In few days after he paid me $3.50, the
balance due, including the liquors. In July follow
ing sold him furniture for $3.50, for which in Octo-
Der following he paid me horse, $50, harness S25,
and afterwards this $500 note to balance.
Rejoinder-There was no settlement till after the
sale OF the furniture, when plaintiff gave me bill OF
all the personal property purchased of him, incud-
1 ng the liquors, and we gave him our note for the
balance.
Sur-reioinder-True gave him bill of particu-
lars at his request but all the articles in the BILL as
matter of fact, had been paid for before he bought
the furniture except the furniture alone. No mat
ter whether prior settlement or not, SO long al
prior articles were all paid for.
Plaintiff 5 counsel testified as witness that de-
fendant in a conversation told him the note wa
given for furniture and said he would pay it. De
PENDANT denied the conversation. Plaintiff s counsel
in argument said doubtless defendant did not know
what he did say for he drunk in his bed month
at q time.
Court interviewed to say that the charge OF drunk.
enness might be true but there evidence OF it
and it is exceptionable for attorney to go out
the case to make such charges against party, and
ntimated that not good practice for an attor-
ney to take the stand as witness to conversations
with the adverse party. Verdict for defendant
Emery for plaintiff. Kimbas for defendant.

Mr.. Haskins of New York advocated the bill,
declaring that New York was ready to admit
New Mexico into the Union on canal footing
with original States.
Mr.. u. +. Hoar thought that there were two
Sood and sufficient reasons why New Mexico
should not now be admitted as a State. One
was that ive-sxths Of its people over ten years
OF age could not read and write and a very
large proportion of its people did not under
stand the English language. 1t seemed to him
not discreet when the government was obliged
to use the strong hand of federal power to keep
down mobs and contests in Arkansas and
