Arrested Last Night.

Yesterday morning an editorial IN the
Portsmouth Enterprise strongly denounced
MI. NJ. Glennan, editor and owner OF the
Norfolk Virginian. The editorial was pro-
voked by the discussion OF local ques-
tion. Both gentlemen are Democrats, and
men OF courage. Dir. Porter represents
Portsmouth in the House Of Delegates, and
left Portsmouth yesterday morning for
this city.
AS soon as Mr.. Glennan saw the editorial
In the Enterprise, accompanied by friend,
he went over to Portsmouth. Here he
found that Mr.. Porter was en- route to
Richmond, and, with his friend. he
followed him. He got to the city
in the early evening, and IN q
close carnage drove to q restaurant and
got supper. Afterwards Mr.. Glennan's
friend went to Ford's Hotel, and found
that Mr.. Porter was registered there. Mr..
Glennan and friend then awaited the ap-
pearanee of Mr.. Porter, standing out on
the old City-Hall lot, opposite the hotel.
In the mean time the police had been
notified OF the status OF affairs by tele-
graph, and Sergeant TomlinsOn, dressed in
citizens clothes, came up and arrested Mr..
Glennan.
He was taken TO the Second police-sta-
tion and bound over to keep the peace for
twelve months In the sum Of $1,000.
Shortly afterwards Mr.. Porter was ar
rested, taken 10 the same place, and SINH
larly recognized.
The affair is very much deprecated by
the numerous friends Of both parties.

A Bankruptcy Matter.
DECISION OF THE sUPREAE COURT YESTERDAY
INA NICE CASE

DECISION OF THE sUPREaE COURT YESTERDAY
INA NICE CASE.
The case OF Joseph ID. Blair Us. Carter's
administrator and others, which was de-
cided in the Court OF Appeals on yester-
day, was an appeal from the Circuit Court
of Pittsylvania. IL was contest over the
lien OF certain judgments obtained against
| a bankrupt after his adjudication as bank
rupt, and before his discharge, upon his
after-acquired lands. The bankrupt had
sold to another person, who bad borrowed
sum OF money from Joseph ID. Blair, and
conveyed the land in trust to secure the
debt TO Blair OF Sl.00S, and had also con-
yeyed the same land to another trustee sub
seouently to secure debt due Skinner& Co.
of $4,000. Upon q sale under the first
| trust-deed Blair had purchased, and after
having his own debt left S2,400 to 90 to
skinner & Co. But upon suit brought by
the Judgment creditors above the Circuit
Court held the said Judgment liens upon
the land paramount TO both trust-deeds,
and decreed a sale OF the land TO satisfy
them, and Blair appealed.
The judgments aggregated 4,G2.IS,
Blair having bought this land at S4,O77.l5.
The effect of the decree was that Blair lost
his debt and skinner & Co. lost theirs.
The ground upon which these Judgments
were held to be liens upon the after.ac-
ouired lands OF the discharged bankrupt Is
that the original debts were merged In the
judgments, being thus made new debts, and
subseauent to the adjudication OF bank
ruptcy were not provable under the bank
rupt act and not affected by the discharge
of the bankrupt.
II was argued that the question wherein
n Judgment obtained after adjudication IN
bankruptcy was q merger which created
new debt. had been variously decided In
the courts; that II had been heiu lnaI
creditor by maturing his debt 10 Judgement
after adjudication had lost all right 10 prove
his debt; that neither the debt nor tne
Judgment were pr0yable, that tue aept
