LIBUT.-COTL.. GRANT, A $10 FINE 1IPOSRD. Licut.-Col. Fred D, Girant, aon of the Prent- dent and Ald-de-Camp to Gen, Sheridan, having last Weduesday morning asseulted Mr. H., F. Donovan, a reporter of the Eeewing Journal, sppeared before dustice Summerfleld yesterday, Daviug spent Thahkselving-Day fu freedom in conscquenee of that delightful boen which res. caed him from a short resfdence in the Armory, =840 bail. The dofendant was sttemmted by Jotn AL Hunter, Esiq., bis counsel, and by Gen. Drum, his superior ollicer, who was one of the «bief witnesses in the cuse, Prosecuting At- torney Boyden represented the mujesty of the law, and looked cxeessively severe out of the corners of his oyes. Tiie defendant smiled complaisantly as {i it didn’t amount to much any way and a3 if he were rather inclined to en- Joy the fun. l, sel Notwithstand- MRt DONOVAN ‘was the first wituess, 1le certainly had his sav. Mis testiinony was given In an_casy, unconcern- ed manuer, and was atout, as folloivs: Last Wedunesday moming he was nssigned to visit military hesdquarters, corner of Washing- ton and Loalle streets, for the purpose of oife. Sting all tne news he could from Gen, Sherkdan on e Louislana question, On eutering Gen. Drum’s ottice, he fuund the Geueral {n conversa. tion with Walter W, Neefe, of the Associated Prees. Donuvan saluted Gen. Drum with a * Good morning, sir,” und followed it up by In- quirlng it Gen. Sherldan had rcummt[l. The Generu! sald he belloved he bad. Donuvan of course wanted to see him, and sald ns mueh. ‘The General replied that Gen, Sherldon had not come_down, aud he did not know when he would be down. Donovan, Instead of quictly cunsulting i city directory, asked Gen, Dyum where Gen, Sherilun lHved.” “This struck Gon, Drum ga impertivent, and Lo sald us much, declinlog, furthermore, to accommodate hnn with the desired information. Donovan turied to goout and remarked, ns ho did g0, “1 am very much obilged (o you, siv" Gen. Drum, apparcntly taking this” as Ironfeal, and some- what nettied theveat, vephed, * You have d—a little to be ubliged for.'" Donovan reported to his dty editor, Mr. W, K. Sallivan, who sut himsell down and penned a brief note to. Gen. Drum, asking him i Donovan had acted fna way uhbecotiing w gentlemun, wid also il festing a deslro to know why Geo, Dramn had dumned the sald Donovau, Mr, A. 8, Appleton, nootlier reporter, was commissloned to do- Jlvez the noto, und Donovan uwecompanled bim. Mr. Appletongave the mte to ten. Dram, who read it and Inquired of Donovan when he had dumned him, No answer. The General ve- peated his question, and then ordered both re- ters out of the oflice, AL this tieklish polut ut.-Col, Grant cntered wnd heard his supes rlor ordering the boys vut, and tolling Donovan S Dou't you ever come here I,I m."

Mr. Walter W, Neefe testified to ahbout the same statc of facts as related by Gen. Drun. TIR ARAUMENTS were brief. Mr. Hunter malntalaed that de- fendant had a right to use force in ejecting Danovan, {f the Jatier would not leave volins tarily, and also provided that the foreo used was not excessive. 1o also contended that Dunovan had behaved in A very ungentlemanly and even insulting, tanner, and that Gen. Drum sl Lient.-Col. Grant were perfectly justified in the course they had taken. Mr. Buvden did not sce anything nsulting or cven ungentletnanly 1 Donovan's hehavior, and he praduced Gen, Drum’s own note to hack up this position. 'Tho assault was an uutrn;ie, and tho defendant had even admitted that ho was gorry forit. Mr, Boyden remarked that when a Youiig man got his position not by mnerit, but by chance, by favoritism, then it was that the sail young mian almost always felt his own Impor- tancey and was rather disposed to “put on style. The Court should teach him a lesson this time, Tf the testimony did not show that tho defendant was the loafer, the bisckguard, the sealawaz, and not tho reporters, then it showed nothing, BENTENCR. Justlico Bummerfield satd ho did not think the evidence sustalned the charge of assuult with Intent to do bodily Injury, although it was n case of disorderly conduct, Under the circium- stanceg, he thought the sum of $10 ond costs would about subscrve the purposes of justice, No-time was lost In Mquisating with the Clerk, and the defendant had the sutlsfaction of paylog just $11 for his fun. —— ALL RIGIT.

Abowt 75 per cent of the Habilities hadd been provided for, and _the tirm Tind only gotten an extenslon upon about 25 per vent, In response to an inqulry of the repovter the gentleman stated that tnere were Loo many wembers (slx) in the Grm to do o profituble business for sll concerned, They had elther to do o larger or smygller trade to help them make it remuncrative, Inregard to dolng a smaller business, they vould not afford it as the house was now coustituted.

The house will continue businesa as herctofure until the 1st of next month, when new hands will proabty take churze of the offairs, and keep up the house under another firm name. THE CUSTOM-DOUSE.
