@It appears that Virginia legisla.
tive committee has reported that Gener.
nj BRADLEY T. Johnson and Messrs.
NELSON and JOIN Il. Poe, of Baltimore.
who were appointed TO collect the claim
of the State against the State of Mary
land in the Ches. & Ohio Canal matter,
are largely indebted to tho State of Viz
ginia. The committee says that the a.
mount collected by the parties named
was 100000, on which they were TO
receive q commission of 20 per cent
for professional services. They turned
over to the State treasury $4,000, leav-
ing balance due in the opinion of the
committee Of about $685. The at
torney- general, under instructions of
the Governor, has instituted suit in the
Richmond city circuit court against
Messrs. Johnson and Poe to compel r
settlement with the State and the return
of the large balance claimed TO be due
her from them.

A SCENE BETWEEN A JUDGE AND A
LAWYER the session Of tho Feber.
al Court in Raleigh, n. g.. on Thursday.
Juge Bond. of Baltimore, presiding. an
incident occurred which is thus reported
by the Observer of that city:
Judge Fowle wished to ask n witness
question which he thought competent
by the laws OF North Carolina. Judge
Bond roughly remarked that such a
question was not admissible and that
the proposition - laid down by Judge
Fowle was not law" Judge +. said ''it
was law in North Carolina" Judge
Bond said lit is not law here; proceed
with your case" Judge Fowle said
nothing but sent for his hooks when
they came lie requested leave OF the.
court to real the authority that sup
ported his views, when Judge Bond n
gain said that sucn was not the law"
Then Judge Fowle said "Vhen lay
down n proposition that is received as
law not only in this STAGE but i'm all
Christian countries, and when your hon
or says there Is no such law and pro.
duce the books before your honor that
sustain, as | think, my view OF the
point, your honor should do one of two
things, either permit me TO read Inv AN
thority or your honor should say that
that your honor's words were not i'm 4.
tended a. they sounded" Judge Bond
simply repeated the remark that there
was no such law. The argument went
on and Judge Fowle won his case.
