difficulty occurred here to-day be-
tween Frank Coleman, who is edi-
tor of the Huntsville Independent,
and United States Marshal Joseph

Hewlett, in which thirteen shots
were fred without effect. One shot
pierced CoIeman's coat collar,
missing his neck about an inch.
Coleman, Sloss and United States
Commissioner Mccullough were
conversing together, when Sloss
made sorne remark about an edIto-
rial that appeared in the Indepen-
dent in reference to United States
marshals. Coleman replied that he
was responsible for whatever APP
peared in lis paper, when Sloss
hit him in tie face. Coleman en-
deavored 70 return the blow, but
was prevented by Mccullough.
Being unarmed, Coleman now pro-
ceeded to an adjoining storehouse,
and procuring. a pistol, came upon
the street, and was met by SlOss,
who asked him if he had his pistol.
Coleman replied in the affirmative
when they began firing. After sew
eral shots were exchanged between
Coleman and Sloss, Deputy Marshal
Hewlett came upon the scene aud
fired two shots at Coleman, who,
after having emptied his pistol, re
treated to an-adjoining store. The
parties were all arrested

Homo for Consumntiyes All Last

From official record, we learn that
over sixty thousand persons die annu-
ally in the United States from pulmo-
nary consumption. In each of these
cases there was a first or incipient stage
of the disease, when all the life forces
and organic structures were yet unim-
paired by his entertainments. If at
this time an agent had been found which
could give to the system a higher de-
gree Ofvitality, and so enable it to resist
the deadly assault, this perilous crisis
would have been safely passed And
not this one only. In every subsequent
assault of the enemy, especially where
there existed some hereditary faint,
prompt resort to the same re-vitalizing
agent would have given like relief and
immunity. Now, it is confidently
claimed, and the claim is substantiated
by the results of over twelve years ex-
perience of its use, that just such an
agent has been discovered in Compound
Oxygen, the use of which is rapidly ex-
tending. If you wish to learn all abont
this new treatment, address Drs. Starkey
81 Palen, Philadelphia, Pa, and they
will promptly mail you their Treatise on
Compound Oxygen. dee23-tf.

penditure of time and eyesight- The Sun

Ponds less upon its recognized importance
than upon its interest to mankind. From
morning to morning the Sun prints a con-

women, and of their deeds, plans, loves,
hates and troubles. This story is more va
ried and more interesting than any romance
that was ever devised.

resfness, originality, accuracy and decorum
in the treatment OF every subject.
w Honest comment. The suns habit is
to speak out fearlessiy about mer and things.

mend what is pIai-eworthy or to rebuke
what is blsmable in Democrat or Republi-
can.

A Sweeping Decision.

The United States Supreme
Court has just given an opinion
in the case OF Williams & Anert
against Jason N. Bruffy, admins
traitor, the practical effect of which,
it would appear, will be to establish
the authority of that court to ig
more the Judicial authority OF any
State as such, to issue its mandate
reversing the decision of any infe
rior court, without acting through
the States superior courts, and to
execute its processes directly on the
premises by it's own marshals.

What will be the amount of the
cotton crop is a question OF great
difficulty often, and of strong inter
estevery season. This year partic-
u.arly so, for we had a large crop
in the field, and favorable weather
had produced an immense yield,
but the early appearance of q kill
ing frost, and the unfavorable wealth
er throughout November, have alto
gether changed the apect of things.
The Philadelphia Textile Record, a
well-informed paper, says, in its
December mher. that the crop
will not reach the large figures once
and that all the cotton
available for export will be called
for at fair prices. Much OF the
crop, especially in the southwest |
,rn States, will be inferior, and the |
damage fully equivalent to the
xcess of production. The Egyp-
ian crop is also reported short.
