GEORGE AUGUSTUS SALA.
A Little Talk About Free Trade-Like All
the English, lie Wants American Money.

New YORK. Jan. 6--George Augustus Sala,
the English journalist and special correspond
ent, arrived in the Galia this afternoon. He
comes tc deliver two new lectures.
Mr. Sala, in an interview tonight. speaking of
the business outlook in England, said: Times
are bad and business dull I am a free
trader having been brought up In the school
of Golden and Bright, but must confess things
look pretty blue over our way. The Liberal
party are coquetting with the fart trade
doctrine, and some people are demanding
protection. My idea is that the only remedy
lies in emigration, not to the United States, but
to Australia. An Englishman only comes to this
country to make money, but to Australia he goes
to live. Although | am freetrader l must
admit that there are many things in England
that are too cheap, and sugar is one of them
My object this trip is to increase my
finances, and if the American people decree it,
will repeat my lectures when [ return from

HABEAS CORPUS.
An Interesting Case Now Pending Before
the United States Supreme Court

An Interesting Case Now Pending Before
the United States Supreme Court
WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.-An interesting ques-
ton was brought before the Supreme Court of
the United States this afternoon in the ex parte
case of Clinton B. Fisk, of New York, upon
petition for writ of habeas corpus On the
Sth Of April, 1882, Francis A. Fogg sued General
Fisk, in the Supreme Court of the State of New
York, to recover $63, $50. which he alleged Fisk
obtained from him under false and fraudulent
representations, in payment for certain mining
stocks. On the 18th of January, 1883, the
plaintiff, under the provisions of the New York
code OF civil procedure, obtained from Judge
Barrett an order for the examination of the
defendant before the trial. This order upon
appeal, was affirmed by the court in
general term, and afterward by the Court
OF Appeals of the State. The examination of
the defendant was then begun, but while it
was pending General Fisk had the case removed
to the United States Circuit Court, under the act
of 1867, commonly known as the local prejudice
act. The Circuit Court upon motion of the
plaintiff, ordered an examination which was
had before Commissioner Shields. General
FISK declined to be examined, whereupon he was
finally adjudged in contempt and committed to
the custody of the marshal until he should pay a
fine of $500 and submit to an examination The
prisoner now petitions this court for writ of
habeas corpus, on the ground that the United
States Circuit Court had no jurisdiction to con-
tlnue the order of a State Court requiring him to
submit to examination as a party before trial
The question is also raised whether this court
can issue writ OF haoeas corpus to review the
proceedings of the Circuit Court.

Great Interest in Her Coming Trial-The
Plan for the Defense.

Great Interest in Her Coming Trial-The
Plan for the Defense.
PARIS, Jan. 6-There is interest in Paris over
the approaching trial of Nine. Clovis Hugues for
the shooting of her traducer, M Morin, at the
Palais de Justice, the 9th of last November.
The trial will begin on next Thursday, just one
month from the date of the death of M. Norm.
There has been great pressure upon the judges
and court officers for tickets Of admission to the
trial, many fashionable women being among the
applicants The judges have finally decided
that, as it would be impossible to grant one tenth
of the applications. no one shall be admitted except
jurors, witnesses, counsel, and reporters. The
prisoner holds daily receptions in the ST. Lazaire
prison, and receives visits, cards, and bouquets
from the most distinguished people in Paris
The counsel of Nine Hughes will seek to show
that she was the victim of a conspiracy between
Nine Lenornand, who is petitioning for
divorce. and the private detective NORM, by
which false testimony was to be euborned to
show that Nine Hughes had been criminally in
innate with nj. Lenormand The procureur
general, ON the other hand, will seek to confne
the evidence to the facts of the shooting and
death of M. NORM. and to prove that the shoot
ing was not done in self defense

Southern Appreciation of Mr.. Cable.

Washington Special.
Two Southern Democrats at the capital yes
terday were discussing current literary topics,
when one of them suddenly asked ''Have you
read Cables article in the Century2'
NO" replied the other ''What is the article
about, and who the blank is Gabe2'
"Oh,' said the first Democrat savagely, sit is
an article in favor of the 'nigger,' and full of
abuse and lies about the Southern people
Haven't you heard of Gablel George W. Gable
is his name. He is that New Orleans man who
writes books and goes around the country read
ing them in public He brags that his grand
father and father were both shareholders, and
then says that it was not their fault that they
did not know any better. The article would be
bad enough if it had been written by Northern
man; coming from Southern man it is an in
suit"
well, l do not want TO read it. I should
think Gable would emigrate to the North and
stay there. We have no use for such men in
the South
1t is evident that these indignant Southerners
do not appreciate Mr. Cables literary efforts.

being requested by President Arthur to assist
him on New Years day, replied that, after her
husband had been so coolly treated by the occu-

receiving such an invitation. The subject has
been drawn out at length, and numerous dis
patches, purporting to be the correct version of
the affair, have been sent out to distant papers
Some went so far as to give the language used
in the letters. The whole story seemed to
be based upon the absence of Mrs.
Blaine from the Presidents New Years
reception, especially as Mrs. Senator Logan was
among the ladies who received the guests From
matter of social gossip the story assumed polit

the matter. After reading them he replied:
There is not the slightest foundation for this
story, nor for the rumor of any correspondence
between the President and Mrs. Blaine touch

was invited very politely by the President, and
replied, thanking him cordially for the courtesy,

Mrs. Blaine did not receive callers New Years
