This suit, which bad been pending
against us in the United States Supreme
court for about four years, waiting for its
turn to be reached on its calendar, was
argued on the Goth and 21st uit., by
Messrs. d Hall ard G. w. Bird for the
city and Charles E. Monroe for Mescalf.
and decided last Monday, the 10th inst,
by that court holding that the United
States Circuit court Tor the Western dis
trict of Wisconsin-in which Mr.. Metcalf
had commenced his suit and from which.
by writ of error, he had transferred it to
the Supreme court at Washington-had
no jurisdiction tn try the suit and should
have dismissed it, because, in his COM
plant, be had not alleged the proper cit.
izenship of the assignors to him of the
Judgment which he was suing over.
While this does not do for us all we de-
sired in settling the rule for other like
cases it is substantial victory in our favor,
and sore defeat for the bondholder Met
| calf, who not only fails to recover the
$25, 900 he sued for, but has to pay the
costs. The opinion was given by Mr..

ST. LOUIS, July 22.-Infofmation
has been sent from Crittenden county,

jury of that county, which has been
investigating the bsnishment OF eIgh
teen negroes by an or. a. ion, bas
made its report. The result is the
return of nearly forty indictments.
The grand jury found that aDyony-

OF white men by negroes giving them
five days TO leave the county. L m
receiving the threatening epistl ,, the
white men met, armed, and escorted
out of the county the negroes impli-
Gated. The grand jury succeeded In
tracing the anonymous threats to the

of ]. w. Ramsay. young South Car
olina negro, in the employ of Ferguson
as clerk. The immediate motive for
sending of warnings was found In the
fact that d. w. Lewis, q negro county
Judge, had been indicted by a former
grand jury for hsbitual drunkenness,
the penalty for which was re
moval from office. The intention
WAS to create reign of terror and
break the force of the prosecution.
Ferguson was one Of the Arkansas al
ternates to the republican convention
at Chicago. He was serving his third
term rs clerk OF Crittenden county, an
office worth $4,000 per year. The tes-
timony before the jury was highly

western sheep here, but fair sprink-
ling of Texas, which sold at strong
prices, considering quality, namely:

Our receipts for next week are
likely to be little heavier. ss we are
advised Off few heavy shipments Of

too. We do not anticipate any higher
prices for q couple Of weeks, but expect
steady trade, as the condition Of
sheep will improve with time and
good grass, aud fat sheep Is what they
want here now. There will be a
time when iair-condition sheep will
sell well to feeders, say in September
and October, as the corn crop is going
to be fine from present appearances.
The prices Of Texas sheep vary &C.

Trade is very g, cd for good straight
