IT Is rather surprising that man who has
been brought under the highly civilizing inhu-
ence of intimate association with Colonel Bob
Ingerson should allow himself to become in
volved in one Of those brawls which the Colo
mel has 30 often said were Characteristic only
of the barbarous South. His private score
tary was shot in a fierce personal alteration
in Westchester county, n. y. on Satur-
day. and the evidence shows that he
drew the pistol upon his antagonist first.
In other words, he was in the habit
carrying concealed weapons about with him.
a habit which the Colonel has so often con-
demned in the ferocious Southerners When
the closest companion of Ingersoll goes about
with loaded pistols on his person We are lis
posed to infer that the Colonel has over
looked the barbarities that exist directly I'M
der his eyes TO attack those which have only
a factitious existence elsewhere. Let him
begin his reform at home.

THE recent trouble in Tennessee in connec-
ton with leased convcts has attracted atten-
ton in every part of the United States be-
cause the question involved came home to
every State, How shall convicts be supported
without increasing the tax levy or encroaching
upon the rewards of honest labor? There is a
dilemma with two very serious horns. No
matter how convicts are employed they must
interfere with the ability of free
lsborers to earn livelihood. Put
them TO building railroads and
constructing other public Improvements, and
there is the same problem to solve. After all
the most equitable solution appears to be to
employ them in the manufacture of products
which are afterwards offered for Sale at prices
which the same products manufactured by
free labor command in the market

"Some six weeks ago, Benjamin Glad

GLADDEN. didn't have the money and asked
the Constable to allow him two weeks

the expiration Of the two weeks GLADDEN.
was called upon for the money. He said
that he had the money, but that he wasn't
going to pay it that the States Attorney
had written to him not to pay IL. Some
words were passed and the Constable told
GLADDEN. that he didn't then have q com.
mitment for him but that when IL was OBJ.

pay up or 60 to Jail. GLADDEN. replied that
he would see about thatr
Constable Watts secured the commit
ment and on the 14th instant, met GLADDEN.
and again demanded the money, telling
him that he must either pay it or 60 to Jail.
GLADDEN. swore that he would do neither.
Dennis Smith came up and told GLADDEN.
to go ahead and he would see him righted.'
Justice Hammett was at hand and told the
constable 70 summon posse and enforce
the law. The posse summoned was: G..
n. Bohanan, Alfred g. Sanner, e. j. Fish,
John Biscoe, colored, Dennis Smith, color
ed, Capt. William Daugherty, John g.

lently told the constable that she had been
summoned on the other side As many
Of the posse as obeyed the summons held
q consultation as TO the best course to be
pursued. IL was stated that many of the
negioes were armed-pistols having been
seen on Smith and others.
"ln the meantime the whites and negroes
had separated and GLADDEN. walked up
and down between the crowds vociferat-
ing that he had but one time to die and
that the present was as good time as any

but one niger year, &C.
"Mr. William Frank Ford went into the
crowd Of negroes and tried make them lis-
ten TO reason. He then came TO Mr.. Watts

Ford would pay the money. As they
started towards the store GLADDEN. shouted
that If Mr.. Ford paid the money he did il

The extraordinary changes in the atmos.
phere produces various complaints; and it
really seems that strictly higenic regu-
lation of dress, diet, ETC., fails to ward of
disease.
Merchants are in buoyant spirits. Cash
with them is the rule; credit the exception.
Poultry, eggs, butter and other articles are
exchanged for merchandise, which we pre-
sumo is an accommodation to the purcha-

The Maryland and Virginia Steamboat

Transportation Company by the purchase
Of the side-wheel steamer Sue and the

Potomac Transportation Company was
owned by the Clydes, Of Philadeiphia, who

chasers win place the Sue upon the route

urday. The Sue ID an admirable boat, and
has just been thoroughly oyerhauled at
Woodall's ship-yard and James Clark e.

the Eastern Shore Steamboat Company in
1857 by Harlan & Hollingsworth, and did
her first service running TO Crisfeld. She
was purchased by the Clydes for service

Potomac route, but after one year was

fourteen years she has been a household
