ment decision was reserved. The sailor
and three Of his ship-mates also brought
an action for damages against the vessel

discharge. Testimony was heard in be-
half Of the defendant, to show that the
articles had been read to the seamen

had made demand either for wages or
their discharge. The decision Of the Com
missioner will be rendered in both cases

Yesterday morning three mad dogs
were hastily disposed Of near the canal,
in the neighborhood Of River street. Early
in the morning a mule belonging to Mr..
Joseph Munroe,. living near the intersec-
ton Of the Ogeechee and the Louisville
roads. was bitten BY one Of these ferOciOus
CANNES. and within an hour afterwards
became unmanageable and showed the
same symptoms Of madness as exhibited
i'm the dog. Efforts were made to lass0
the mule, but they proved futile, and the
animal was left in a vacant lot - die.
His neck and legs BEGAN to swell soon
after he was bitten, and just before he
died his body became very offensive. In
the afternoon a negro boy living in the
same locality was chased up a tree. where
he sought refuge from another rabid brute.
and was fortunate enough to get out Of
the way of all harm.

DETERMINED DEFENSE.
The Troubles of Monsieur Meunier-A
saulted a second Time.

The old Frenchman. Monsieur Meunler,
who was brutaIly assaulted on Wednes-
day morning. on the Middleground road,
by a negro boy named John Middleton, was
again attacked yesterday morning, in his
house. just before daylight. The second
assault was accomplished in very
unique and novel manner. and had II not
been for the GOODNESS Of the old country
man be. no doubt, would have shared a
much harder fate than he did on " ed
nesday.
Ii appears from the information OBJ
tanned from the old man that between
darkness and daylight party attempted
to secure an entrance into his house by a
false KEY. Finding that this scheme
would not work TO advantage the villain
resoTted 10 other measures. such a. trying
TO get down the chimney, and at last sue
eeeding in getting in by prying open the
door with an iron bar.
The old Frenchman met the invader
with a gOOd-siZed club, and in his IN
firmitIes defed him to advance further.
The fellow. who was negro, made an
attempt TO thwart the old mans plans DY
rushing around TO window. ana, as ne
did 80. he received a vigorous attack
there. as the Frenchman. beng prepared
for a fd1lr pas, had placed an iron poker
near. with which he gave the negro a
sharp blow on the side Of his head. 1t be-
came pretty evident to the roODer tnat the
old hermit was determined in his efforts
to defend himself. and thinking ciscre-
ton the better part Of valor, he made a
hastv retreat. and escaped in the darkness.
Monsieur Meunier is determined upon
catching the parties. who presumably
were bent upon robbery, and he came TO
the city Yesterday morning to consult a
number Of friends of his own nationality
as to the best means to protect himself
against the repeated assaults.

SAVANNAH, Sept. 7.-Editor Morning
Ne,cs Another Merchant" in your
issue of this morning, seems to be
muddled on cotton quotations. The
reason that some grades Of cotton at
New Orleans and Galveston are quoted
re higher than savannah is not as he
saws, and as Merchant the other day did
not saw because their grade IS higher
than ours. but because :. Gulf" cottOns
are superior in staple to and OF heavier
BODY than the uplands' Of this market
and Charleston, and command higher
prices at the trade centres. Pde
quotations at New York &C., at
Liverpool I'd. per pound higher for
cotton from those ports. Mobile comes
under the same head As TO this market
and Charleston. the same grade Of cotton
sells at the same figure or very nearly
the same here as there. Send over To
Charleston lot Of our middling, for in
stance. and it will sell there as low to
strict low middlng. Bring over a lot of
their middling to this market, and it viii
sell at strict to good middlIng price. 1T
does not stand to reason that one mar
ket has any advantage over the 9TH
er. when all the large export houses nave
branches in both markets and the same
orders 20 to each and are filled some
times in one and sometimes in the other
according to the quantity Of stock offering
at the time in one or the other. As far as
grade goes. Savannah seems to be on a
parity with all the principal markets eX-
cept Charleston. There they choose to
have a grade Of their own, without refer
ence to the generally established and
recognized grades Of the trade, and there
fore the seeming disparity between US
ana them.
