Aaron Kahn Is lawyer, dong business at No. 200
Broadway, and Charles Spedal, dispenser Of frothng
lager No. lO44 Third avenue, this city. The law
yer has brought suit against the beer vendor to
cover damages for assault and battery, in which
order OF arrest issued against the defendant A
motion mado In Chambers OF the Court, before
Judge Sinnot yesterday, vaca,o this order OF
resi- which occasion the parties to the action and
thor mutual friends gave their respective OF
The circumstances out OF which the litigation has
grown. The story OF the plaintiff which the order
was granted, was that New Years Eve In company
with two friends, no entered tho saloon of deend-
ant aud whe there and quafhng their beer The plain
Nh and aIsna sos I,0
struck him, tore his coat open and beret II
OF button; that in consequence oil such
assault paiutin was confined to his mouse tho Io
lowing day, and was "deprived OF all enjoyment and
engagements which the deponent was 10 unl the
first day OF January. 1873" On the motion to vacaio
the order Of arrest the gave his
version OF the story. He said that plaintiff and his
friend on The night IN question not only got into an
argument OF words, but also an argument by blows,
and as hc was under obligations 10 preserve the peace
In his place he ntercred, parted and put them out,
and that all he did, that he Is member Of Bat
Iery A, N.G.S .N.Y., and on the night when no
arrested the SUIT he under orders OF his su-
perior officer 10 attend drill at tue Tcutonia Assembly
Rooms and by the arrest he was not only deprived OF
the opportunity 10 attend 70 his military duties, but
also, SAID, OF tho pleasure OF dancing the ball
of the command, which took place the night.
This story OF defendant as TO his Interference merely
toprevent fight between plaintiff and his friend was
coroborated by the anidavits oil several parties who
present In the saloon at The time; but these ALL
In turn contradiced by those of friends
the plaintiff who corroborated his statement TO The
assault and denied that the parties making tho con.
hicling alidavits were IN position 10 see what had
taken place. 1t further appeared on The argument
that plairt I had made plant against defendant
IN police before nclng this suit, but
clned 10 prosecute because defendant had apologzed
for his act that plaintiff learning subsequently that
defendant mad mis- apology ncously,'
wrote 10 hun that he would have 10 lace the music"

pErAME THE DEAD.

People desirous of conserving the reputa-

about BES WADE's connection with public af-
fairs."-Iod aud Union, Apii20 1873.
The above paragraph contains the first
imputation that we have ever seen upon the
integrity Of the late Senator WADE. For
nearly half century Mr.. WADE was in
public life, as State Senator, as District
Judge in Ohio, and as United States Sem
ator for three full terms. In all these Of
fees he discharged his trust with highest
integrity and with acknowledged ability.
He was as much respected in the Senate by
his political opponents for his honesty and
fearlessness M any man in the Senate
Where, when, at what time, for what pur-
pose, on what occasion was he ever charged
with wrong or dishonesty with any thing
IN connection with public aflairs?" Go
search the records of his country, and where,
during his long public life, is there any i'm
putation upon him for dishonestyY He was
man Of strong convictions, Of decided
fearless. Forty years ago, in the Senate of
Ohio, before GIDDINGs, and SUMNER, and
HALE, and WILMoT, and SEWARD, and
Othere were heard of us anti-slavery men,
he made a speech that will link his name
forever among those who have stood up for
the rights Of man and our common human
