LEGISLATIVE NOTES.

In the Camden contempt discussion In
tho Senate yesterday, President johnson
IN giving an illustration stated that the a..
ton Of Camden in purging himself OF his
alleged contempt by his letter was yery
much like the man that stole q horse and
rode 1t of some two or three hundred
miles, and after ascertaining that the grand
jury would indicthim therefore, returned
the horse before the jury met in order
to ,evade and escape punishment, M.
Adams, In his remarks upon the res.
olutIon stated that he proposed a more
pleasing illustration, and one which he
claimed better suited the case, as far "a
some members OF the Senate are concern.

TIE English labor and llnancialtroubles
are extending TO Sweden, and a dispatch
tells us that It is feared general CONNER
cial collapse is imminent in that country
No one familiar with the extensive ramih'
cations Of British trade will be surprised
ut this. The wonder will be II the English
embarrassment do not lead to like dis
tress over half Europe. The influence oil
English commercial distress in former
eases las been no less extensive. and the
probabilities might, without exaggeration,
be even more strongly put. More capital
exists now, and there are other available
methods OF alienation which were not
within the reach Of former generations.
Among these the most judicious and
practicable is immigration; and this will
probably be adopted on large scale II the
prevailing difficulties continue. In the
meantime the danger is that one or more
OF the governments Of the. afflicted coun.
tries may see, asin SO many instances be-
fore, refuge and safety in war to bridge
over the pressing evils Of the time. To
make money abundant and to find en-
ployment for the suffering and threatening
people has often proved, in like iunctures,
too sore atemptation to stand against; but,
for the sake of humanity, we earnestly
hope that so desperate an expedient will
not in this case be resorted to,

this time another attacked him, and
the conflict must have been fearful.
Part of the Indians scalp was torn
from his head, his face badly lacerated,
and his arm, side and one thigh fairly
"eaten up" No bones were broken, how
ever, and he managed to stagger and
crawl to the road, where he was found
and taken to Bucks ranch. Mr.. Wag-
ner dressed his wounds, and at last ac-
counts he was improving and in a fair

down most of the time and let the bears
bite his back. A party went out to the

MEYERS DEATH.

Verdict in the Case duplicating Dolan.
The inquest on the body of Andrew
Meyers was concluded to-day by Coroner
Carrick.
Joseph Murray, of GA Kossuth street,
testified that he drank some beer with
James Dolan and others Saturday afternoon
last and that when Meyers came into the
alley he saw Dolan strike him. Meyers had
a rock in his hands.
Dr.F. H. Kearney submitteda post-mortem
examination, after which Coroner Carrick
rendered the following verdict:
death from extravasation of blood on the
surface of the brain and effusion at its base.
further find that James Dolan struck said
Andrew Meyers, knocking him down, but
whether his death resulted from the blow,
or the fall resulting from said blow, am
am unable to determine"
The police up to this atime have not Sc
cured James Dolan, the alleged murderer,
although they have been hunting for him
since Monday. 1t is supposed that Dolan
has jumped the town.

The present big stock bubble in Wall
street will undoubtedly burst one OF
these days, and when the collapse comes
it will not surprise us to learn that sew.
eral book-keepers and cashiers have been
brought to grief. The temptations of.
fered by rapidly rising market to make
a turn with other peoples money has
always been strong one, and in the
present case, after so long a period Of
dullness, it is especially so. The men
who abuse their trust by using their en-
ployers' money in Wall street always set
out with the intention of returning it
when they have raked in their pros
pective profits, but in most cases the
profits fail to come.

A Match-Making Hut Disappointed
Landlord.
fInter-Ocean.

Inter ocean,
A curious incident, which very re.
Gently transpired in this city, affords
another proof of the old adage that
"there's many slip 'twixt the cup
and the lip" Some two summers
ago one of our society young men was in
vited by the proprietor of Wisconsin
watering-place hotel to be guest at his
resort The young man accepted, and
the relations between mine host and him
were more than friendly, and bid fair to
partake of closer nature, as the guest
betrayed penchant for the sister Of his
host. This love affair did not run
smoothly; in fact, was nipped in the
bud.
Thence came animosity, and the Will
cm guest became an enemy. Mine host
alleged board bill of 800 and claim
of 1876 borrowed money against his ex-
friend, and in pursuance thereof, en-
gagged an attorney to press the claim in
the Court. This went on for some time,
the debtor never being brought face to face
with his creditor or the latter's attorney
until the hotel man heard that his sis
ter's old flame was about to rekindle the
hymeneal torch on another altar. He
then decided on a "coup de MAN," in
structing his man of writs to serve pro-
cess ON his debtor at the door of the
church on the eventful wedding day.
Such process was actually issued by a
Chicago Justice and was given to con-
stable to serve. But the constable has
too much of the gentleman's feelings in
his nature to commit such an outrage
for such it would really be-and hui
namely allowed his bird to fly the writ
pervaded atmosphere of Chicago. All
this happened within the bounds of the
present month, and as the newly-married
bend admiringly over the dashing Nj
agara, the groom may sigh to think how
nearly his cup of bliss came to being up
set. 1t also serves to illustrate the tru-
ism about Glove turned to hate" etc.

Last Monday night while E. Burson
was going through cut OH Willow Creek
he met a cub. His hand touched it.
when it growled, which was the first init.
nation Mr.. Burson had that such beast
was near him. Taking look at it with
the aid of his lantern he ejudged its weight
to be about two hundred pounds. Not
being particularly fond of bear meat he
postponed indefinitely the attack and
took his departure for the cabin, at what
speed he didn't state The following even.
ing he set steel trap, baited with meat,
in the cut, and caught it. The Chinese
cook going to the trap discovered that it
was caught by only one toe. He killed
it with an ak. 1t was three or four
months old, and weighed seventy-fve
pounds; considerably less than it looked
to Mr.. Burson.
