SACRAMENTO dispatch or Tho 18th,
says: The great battle over apportion.
ment began and epded in tho Assembly
yesterday afternoon. resulting in the
complete slaughter OF all the bills aud
the final breaking up of the Republi.
can majority. Immediately on the
opening Of the afternoon session six
Slicksns Republicans began voting with
the Democrats, and the Inter, led by
DtgSctt, stood rpto n man. The con-
test was the mos. exciting that ever
took place IN tie Assembly chamber.
Not word was said in debatr, but one
after another Of the bills were. demoL
inh"d. Two motions for rerunsidcra-
ton by Mcclure, pcuding from the
prCVinus day were laid on the table, and
the Platt bill. which the Democrats Oh
the day before refused to vote upon,
then cane MP. The Republicans were
anxious to make the Deriocr Is vote
against their 6wn bill. aud the latter
mad" no attempt to shirk the issue. but
every one, except Griffith, stood up.
ana with SIX Siickems men wiped the
bill cut of existence. Al this time the
Republican majority was badly demor-
haiiz'd. aud soon otter when tho House
adjourned the bottom seemed to drop
out Of everything.

heh1nS the scenes,

The common people Of America; the
mud sills rs it were. have within the
last few days been afforded tho oppor-
tunity to get several peeks behind tne
grand political curtain, on the outer
side of which are gorgeous REPRESENTA-
tions of party fealty to fundamental
principles; policiial. virtues of party
leaders and mass OF other glittering
clap.trap with which to please the fancy
and arouse the partisansbip Of the un.
rejecting masses.
Upon the question OF the c6nhrma-
lion of Stanley MSthows there could
be little skulkiug; the repnted leaders
of both great POLITICAL parties being
forced TO proclaim their glory or their
shame. In a party point of view, for the
Republican Senators who voted in the
affrmstive. there is some eStsuuation;
but fc- the professed Democrats, who
by similar course, are responsible for
seating npon the Supreme Bench Of
the United States one OF tho chief cor
s2irators IN n most gigantic fraud upon
the people Of America in general. and a
wan,on Outrage upon their party. in
particular, there can be no excuse
whatever. Aside from his connection
with the fraud referred to. Mathews is
in nowIse worthy TO fill the exalted po-
utf 10. s.l, l..
cratic Senators has elevated him, and
none are more thoroughly aware of the
fact thaa these honorable ~ gentle
men.
Let these men no longer point the
finger Of scoru at Repudintor Malone; I;
their own sin is as much greater than
his. ns the Supreme Bench is above the
petty Sergeant at-Arms-of the Senate.

A TRAGEDY AT BARNET.-The little
town of Barnet is in state of intense ex-
element over the murder of William
Morgan, young man about ninetee n
years Of age, who quarrelled with an old
man sixty-seven years Of age by the name
of Louis Merchant about debt that Nor
gan owed Merchant. Morgan was passing
the house in the village where Merchant
lives, when NJ srchant went out and swore
at him. Morgan's reply was that If Mer-
chant got the money before he did to let
him know it. Then Merchant called Nor.
gan a dirty scoundrel. This provoked
Morgan and he attempted to strike Mer-
chant. who avoided his blow and struck
him once on the head. They were then
immediately separated by by stau1er
Morgan went away threatening to return
and thrash Merchant. Morgan was about
the village all the afternoon. after the
affray, and wrestled once with the village
blacksmith. After p. M, he walked to
his mothers home, about two miles dis
tant, and complained of his head. He
grew worse, and in very short time be-
came unconscious, and remained so until
8 A. NJ, Saturday, when he died. States
Attorney Bates was called at once, and a
council of physicians who conducted the
autopsy, found the skull fractured and a
clot of blood on the brain four inches long
and one half an inch thick. which indicated
that one of the arteries had been ruptured.

Washington county Court,

The case of VoOdry and wife against
Berlin, which had Just gone to the jury at
the time of last week issue, resulted In a
verdict for plaintiffs for SlOl and costs.
The Csc OF Hogan against Mortified
has been on trial since last Wednesday
and has just reached the juny. This suit
was brought to recover damages for inju-
ries received on the Miller Hin In North
field, on the road between the depot village
and Wailsfeld. The plaintiff alleges in
his declaration that there was a gully in
the road near the place where he WAS hurt
and which the town had neglected to fix
although notified to do so. 1t seems that
on the Both of December. 1873. the plain
tiff, John Hogan, who is an Irishman So
years old as he says, but who is probably
many years younger, as he confessed on
the stand that he could neither read nor
write, and his son Stephen were drawing
hay over the road before mentioned; and
according to the plaintiffs testimony the
traverse sled which they were using slowed
into the gully before mentioned, causing
| the load to tip, and the beams of the sled
scraping on the ground caused the load to
draw hard. The horses became unmanage-
able, and Mr.. Hogan was thrown on the
| frozen ground receiving fracture of his
| right thigh. He claims that he has never
fully recovered from this injury. The
town claim in defence, that the road was
n safe one for ordinary travel, and that the
accident was the result of carelessness on
the part of the plaintiff and his son
Stephen; that his leg would now be sound
| if he had obeyed the instructions of his
physicians; and that one of his horses, the
off one, known as the sorrel horse, was in
the habit of running away and unfit to be
used in such team.
Messrs. Heman Carpenter, w. p. Dill
| lingham and Frank Pumley for plaintiff
and George NJ. Fisk, James N Johnson
and Heath & Carlton for defendant.
The usual number of witnesses in North.
field cases appeared in this case, abou
seventy being examined on both sides.
