ANceneiu Court.

New YORK, January 4.-Nearly all the
counsel concerned in the Erie suits, now
at argument before Judge Brady, were
present this morning, except VIM, NJ.
Evarts, who finished his argument last
evening. After some discussion between
the counsel as to the arrangement for
the hearing OF these cases, Mcfarland,
counsel for the Erie Railway, arose and
expressed his belief that the counsel had
arranged to bring all these suits before
Judge Brady, and then followed up with
the emphatic remark, that he disapprov.
ed Of these selections OF judicial hop.
pers." For moment there was dead
silence in the Court. The counsel looked
at each other and then at Mcfarland, who
with folded arms stood before the Bench.
In another instant dozen counsel were
on their feet, but noticing that Judge
Brady seemed deeply affected, they all sat
down. Judge Brady, with head bowed
down and in 80 low voice that much
that he said was inandible. said, "He felt
wounded, and that this was the first time
such q remark was ever made to him
since be sat on the Bench" Mcfarland
Immediately apoIoGized, saying that he
meant nothing offensive, and the Court
merely replied that
THE APOLOGY Is ACCEPTED.
The end OF the matter was that Judge
Brady declared he would not hear any Of
motions in question, and the counsel
were compelled to go before Judge
Daniels to get the cases on the calendar
for hearing by another Judge. Ex.Judge
Ashbel Green in reply, on behalf Of Jas.
McHenry, to the argument Of Mr.. Evarts.
charged that the Great Supreme Court Of
New York had been seized by the other
side and bound head and foot TO the
chariot wheels Of the reconstruction COM

RUSSIA.
A Semi.Omc!aI Declaration OF
Russin's Programme.


RussiR'S Programme.
sr. PErERsBURa, January 4.-The
Semi.official Russian Agency says: The
reply to the British inquiry on behalf Of
the Porte stated that the decisions and
acts OF the Imperial policy are still guild
ed by two paramount considerations Of
putting an end to the constantly reour.
ring disturbances and avoiding comPlicS.
tions by respecting the interests OF third
parties. Assurances satisfactory Ia the
British Government and people were
given concerning England's interests im.
mediately when they were made known,
These interests are no more menaced now
than then, for although Russia then re.
served the contingency Of being compelled
by military necessities to obtain peace
under the walls OF ConstanLinople, it de-
pends upon England to avert this con
tingency by divesting the Porte ot any il
lusfon Respecting English support. It is
evident that II the Porte has any ground
to hope that the entry Of the Russians in.
to Constantinople would cause England
to intervene, 1t would do everything TO
bring about that contingency by refusing
any conditions Of peace.

OUR ST. CLAIl.sVILLELETTER

ST. CLAIRsvILLE, January 8, 1878.
Editors IntelIIgsucer.
On Wednesday last James 8. Bethel, q
resident Of Rock Hill, this county, was
engaged in hauling hogs to Morristown.
Oa his return, after dark, while passing
through "Bigley'B Hollow" deep and
dark locality, he was suddenly attacked
by three men, who sprang from their con.
cealment behind trees on the road side.
Mr.. Bethel was walking beside his horse
at the time and remembers nothing ubse'
quent TO the attack. lie was found in
IN his wagon by his family on the arrival
OF his horse ut home. In an insensible
condition. Dr.. J. ". Welsher, OF Flush
ing was called in and reports that he
received violent blow, apparently from
a club, across the forehead and cheek,
and severe cash with knife downward
across the cheek and neck, slightly
wounding the jugulAr vein. Fears are
had that the skull is fractured. The
head is 40 much swollen as yet that his
condition cannot be fully ascertained.
Mr.. Bethel is not sufficiently recovered
from the shock to give any definite in
formation regarding the assault. 1t is
presumed that robbery was the motive:
His family think he had but a small
amount OF money on his person.
A report reaches us that man, name
not learned, near New Athens, was killed
on Wednesday while engaged in falling a
tree.
Our new steam griSt mill-Steenrod 4
Caster, owners-has starte off in good
qtyle, and is now turning out the best OF
-four, and ia being we'll patronized by the
community. The mill fills R want long
felt here, and will no doubt prove a
good Investment.
FIRST BLOOD AT THE NEW MILL.
Harry Steenrod, the embryo engineer
at the mill, while attending to his duties,
put his hand in the wrong place and got a
squeeze, not as dainty as gentle maid
ems, but good solid one, injuring hiS
thumb and hand, not very seriously how
ever.
Hon. J. J. Burns, State School Com
missioner elect, has been confined ID his
house for week past with severe cold
and lungs slightly effected. Hc is some:
what better to-day. This slcknesn will

who will not tonight fully indicate the
steps they propose to take, but he says
that they will vigorously assert their

to overthrow what they characterize as q

that the court will be asked to declare the
marriage null and void, ard to place the
property in the hands Of trustee. The
ground upon which the action will be
based is the imbecility OF the father.
They will also ask the court to grant a
