AN INJUSTICE Ci.v Pa.he.z

AN lsIrsTicE.-Our City Fathers
and County Supervisors appear to hare
agreed uion general disagreement.
between themselves In the matter Of
iootlng the bills in the recent small
pox cases In all justice aud equity.
we think the county should .houlee,
the burden, ard foot all the bills in
these cases ciieerfnllv. II fact, We can
not sec upon what ground they can
Claim TO he exemp. from it. a. there Is
really 10 distinction 10 be made be
tween the smallpox patients in ques-
ton, and the INDECENT SICK. the main
tenance OF whom Away fall. upon the
county, IN every case The refusal Of
the county TO accep. these bills cannot
De esteemed anything short Of piece
OF downright injustice, as the city is
virtually under no nore obligation to
meet these bills than it would be TO
pay for the maintenance Of 4 gwen
number Of other INDECENT sick persons
FOR the same period Of time The small
pox patients we're virtually paul
pers, as much SO. III fact, as
any who are nj present in the
county hospital. ard the county ac-
knowledges itself to be directly respon
s'b!e for the support Of all such persons,
In consideration Of this IL receives some
thing like $4,000 III city licences, W hich
under other circumstances would be-
long TO the city With this arrange
nent reversed the city could well af-
ford to bear the burden OF maintaining
its INDECENT sick. But as i, is we should
like to know upon what principles If
justice snd right the county can profess
TO saddle this bill Of something like
81 900 upon our city government. We
cannot believe that our County Com
missioners will determine npon adopt-
ing this couise as it would be so direct
ly adverse to every principle IF equity.
II is already laboring under heavy
burden of debt, under the most I'D
verse circumstances, and certainly none
can wish 10 add the straw that would
break the camefs back Gu, County
Commissioners will undoubtedly regard
the matter in this light, and Is honor
able gentlemen and citizens consider
carefully TO the equitable claim OF our
embarrassed city government. In the
| care OF these patients no small amour.
If credit is due to our Health Office.
as he has served the public faithfully
! in the matter throughout. without any
compensation. Even at the most crit
ical time during the prevalence Of the
pestilence among US; just at the time
when the dampening effect Of the
arbitrary decision touching the validity
# our city charter, was being felt tn,
most, and when the persons engaged tt
take care Of the smallpox patients had
refused to render further service unless
money was forthcoming, Immediately
took the money from bis own pocket
and paid them. Had this not been
done it is not easy to predic. what the
/ result would have been.

A Oueer LeMel BOX.

Nelson Walker, the four-year-old son
Of MIR. Julian Walker, well-known Cit
izen OF Mt. Adams, was presented about
a year ago with a plain gold ring, which
the little fellow thought great deal of.
About five months ago Nelson WAS ly-
ing i'll his cradle playing with the orna-
ment, which he had taken from his
finger. After a while the ring was miss.
ing, and the most diligent search in
every part of the house tailed to lead to
Its Whereabouts.
A few weeks after this, the child oom-
planned OF it's nose hurting bin, saying
:tMa ma, seed in my nose." Mrs. Wa!-
kec did what she could to alleviate his
suffering, but still the pain would re-
turn.
Day before yesterday, while suffering
from a rather more serious attack than
usual, Mrs. Nelson was called to the
bedside OF The little sufferer and fouad

boys nostril, wnere it had been slowed
away for the lastfive months. The ring
had turned perfectly black from its long
confinement in this rather odd recepta-

Stampede in a SchooI-IlOuse.

At II lew minutes after II o'c. ock this
morning an alarm OF fire was brought to
the Mohawk Engine-house, purporting
TO come from the Thirteenth District
sohool-house, on Findlay street, be-
tween Vine and Race.
Captain Norwood, with his men and
apparatus, responded Immediately, and
found that there was stampede among
the children, who were streaming down
stairs and out OF every available egress.
The tiremen found it difficult to en-.
ter, aud so rendered valuable service in
re- cuing the children and working their
WAY in the building. The alarm was
caused by burning chimney.
The news that the scbool-house was
on fire spread rapidly, and in very
short time the parents of the children
were running from all directions to the
house, making Findlay street impassa-
be. ...
Great excitement prevailed until all
the children were out. some 0f whom
were quite seriously injured.

shall be selected by them.
1t also provides that the vote Of any
State may be thrown out by the concur
rent vote Of the two Houses, even though
the tribunal may have reported in favor
or counting it in.
In the discussion incident to this last
named point, 1t came out that John Mar
shal, before he was Chief Justice, Mar
tin Van Buren, and Daniel Webster
respectively a Federalist, a Democrat
and Whig-had all supported the prin-
ciple that an Electoral vote could not be
thrown out without the concurrent ac-
tion OF the two Houses. The bill, which

Houses as exactly ooequal in power, or
rather treats their power as dual

National Associated Press to the Star.
New, YORK, Jan. 1s.-The Tribune
this morning publishes the latest, and
what it claims to be true version Of
the Bennett-May duel, as related by an
eyewitness, from which it appears that
Mays conduct was not very creditable
1t says Bennett fully intended to mar
ry Miss May until the rupture occurred,
and rooms in his house for the reception
had been fitted up sumptuously.
After the assault, Bennett consulted
his friends, and ull concurred In the
opinion that duel must follow. The
party arrived at Marydell. The first shot
lell to May, who was to fire while the
words "one, two, three were delivered
in rapid succession by Bennetps sec.
ond. If he fired before or after the
words, he was, by the code, a coward,
and, in case he killed his opponent, o
murderer. May betrayed nervousness
strangely at variance with his reputa-
tion as a cool and accurate marks man.
When he took his position he was OBJ
served 10 be greatly agitated. Bennett,
on the other hand, showed no signs OF
trepidatiun, either in speech or manner,
and from lne first seemed to LOOK on the
meeting rather as dlsagreeable than
dangerous occurrence. Arrangements
being completed, they took positions
twelve yards apart. Pistols were load
ed and handed TO them, and the seconds
retired to one side; then came the Ques-
ton: Are ready? Immediately, ana
before the word could be given, May
raised his pistol, took hasty aim, and
pulled tue trigger; but the weapon
missed fire. Od receiving the intimaLion
That il was his turn, Bennett raised his
pistol, cried scorniuily, ~ could kill
you now il l wished" and pointing it
into the air, fired quIokly. The duelists
then saluted one another, when, sud-
denly overcome by shame and mortihac
tion, to The utmost amazement Of all
present, Fred. May turned and hurried
away, unable longer to face his dis
grace.
1t was no impulse of generosity on the
part OF Bennett, as all felt, which caused
him to fire into the air, but sudden de-
sire 10 repay with Interest the mortitica-
lion which he had felt in the public lash
ing before the clubhouse. No words
passed between the two principals at
any time during the meeting, except
Benefits remark when he fired his pis-
tol into tue air.
AS soon as May retreated, the rest Of
the party returned to the railroad sta
tion. Bennett returned to New York,
but left almost Immediately again, and
remained i'll New Jersey until last Sat-
urday, when, with his sister, Miss jean
nette, and valet, he sailed on the City OF
Richmond. His stay abroad is uncer.
tain, but he Will probably remain some
time, as they took thirty trunks.
