This was an attachment on warrant laid In the bands of defendant for $5,000. Messrs. Stirling and Daniels, representing the First Na- tional bank, filed a motion to qnash the attach- ment on the ground that the attachment was in violation of the section of the banking act, which provides that no attachment, injunction or exception shall be issued against any national bank or its property before final judgment. The counsel for the Chesapeake bank, Messrs. Geo. Ht. Willidms and ‘Wat. H. Dawson, argued that the provision of the banking act referred to was unconstitutional. After argument by Mr. Stir- lang, United States district attorney, in su pport of the motion to quash, Judge Dobbin held that the provision was constitutional, and quashed the attachment. Plaintiff gave notice of an appeal. ———— In ANOTHER COLUMN will be found the notice of Reginald Fendall, esq., trustee of Messrs. Baldwin Bros., to the creditors of the ftirm— which will no doubt be of interest to our read- ers. We are gratified to learn from Mr. Fen- 1 that the most competent judges, including & committee of the creditors who have exam- | ined into the affairs of the firm, are confident that the assets will leave a surplus after paying all the debts in full, to be restored to the mem- | bers of the firm, and that this assignment will in no way interfere with the prosecution of work already commenced, nor with the making | of new contracts for other work, and as the | credit of the firm is still unimpaired, our citi- | zens will not be deprived of the taste’ and skill | of these excellent workmen in making improve- ments. Messrs. Baldwin had the warm sympa- thy of the entire community in their embarrass- ment which was mainly caused by the financial panic, and the result of the thorough investiga- tion of their affairs is alike pleasant news to their friends and creditable to their integrity. pecnataaica sesh Usiranian Coxrenence —The conference of the “ Unitarian and other Christian churches of the Middle ana Southern states” will hold its next session in the Unitarian church of Wil- mington, commencing on Tuesday evening, the zsth, and the conference will continue its ses- sion until Thursday noon, and at 10 o'clock the business meetings of the conference will begin.

It appears that the hands employed by the contractor, Mr. H. Wingate, to finish the stands and interior work of the market, struck on Saturday, and refused to work because they were not paid. Mr. Win- gate says he has not recetved the funds to them. As the purchasers of stalls have paid in one-third of the purchase money, aggregating About $2,500, they express the hope that the next came the two hearses side by side, and car- riages containing the mourners in the same order.

Mr. Ordway's letter of complaint to the Secretary of the Interior was referred to Architect Clark, who approved of the request contained therein, but the Secretary says that man who buys a thing at auction either takes the risk or ought to know what he is buy- img.” So the property will, from present ap ances, have to be resold at the expense of who, in compliance with the terms bas already paid ten per cent. cash of the purchase money, parteiieemenines Anngsts at « HoTer.—A series of hotel rob- beries in Washington and Baltimore put the police of both places on the alert, which re sulted in the arrest in this city of two profes- sionals In that line by Detectives McDevitt and Coomes on Saturday night.

As briefly stated in a telegram trom New Or- leans, Caroline Hugel, aged twenty-two, from ce, was killed by her father in that city on Sunday morning, isth instant, immediately atter landing from the steamship Louisiana. They took passage at Bordeau, aud the father asserts that the daughter, through intimacy with a young Frenchman’ on board, had dis honored her tamily. He promised the captain of the steamer not to molest his daughter while on board, but soon after landing he stabbed her with a knife fatally. The tragedy is thus de- scribed by a New Grleans paper: ‘Among the passengers who left the ship was a group of ur, consisting of one man and three girls. ey had walked about thirty'yards from the ip, when an excited looking man, about fifty years of age, approached them, and, clutching one of the girls by the arm, said something, which he immediately followed up by a plunge of a knife, biding it for a moment inher breast. With an agonizing shriek, she fell backward, when raising the kniteonce more, he deait her asecond plunge, this time cutting her in the abdomen to the depth of about an inch. The horror-stricken crowd were so petritied and astonished that they shrunk back from the demoniac murderer, and were only recalled to their senses as the latter was endeavoring to make his escape. Then they pursued and cap- tured him, though he threatened to kill anybody who sbould attempt his arrest, and he would probably at this time beas cold as his victim, ad not the police arrived and saved him from the molestation of the excited crowd by convey- ing him to the station, where he now lies. The young woman was about 22 years of age, of a pretty, petite form. She died in thirteen’ min- utes after receiving the fatal stab, and was buried in three hours thereatter, at the city’s expense. The murderer, whose name is Joseph Hugel, isa native of Strasburg, and came to this country in i861. He spent the most of his time in California, and, having accumulated some money there, returned to France a year ago for the purpose of bringing out his daagh- ter, and establishing himself in this cityas a brewer.” Foroeries or UniTeDSTaTes #100 NotEs.— Yesterday morning at eleven o'clock, a novel kind of forgery was discovered at the Sub- Treasury in this city by Mr. Abram N. W. Tandy, one of the note counters, who, while examining a large quantity of bills, came across one of the 163 issue of $100 which felt some- what spongy and soft. He then exaurined it with a microscope, and ascertained that the bill consisted of two together, the face be Rarta, which had been pasted ing genuine and the back ng aforgery. The intention of the counter- ter is doubtless to make good use of the good back and paste it in like manner toa frauda- lent face, hut whether this will be as good a forgery as the present one remains to be seen. ‘The work is admirably done, and if the counter- feiters can make as good a face as they can a “back” it is ible that $200 for a $100 bill can be easily had. If Mr. Tandy had not been a clever expert the bill would have passed him, as it did several of his colleay . The bogus article is now in the hands of General Butter- field, and it remains to be seen what action he will take in the matter. It 1s maintained that, with a good face, the bill can hardly be desig- nated a forgery. Last August the tletectives fn Philadelphia arrested a man who could make six bills ont of five by cutting and mutilating them, and when arrested his pocket-book was found full of cuttings of good bills.—Vew Yor!: Herald, 2th. ———— AUTHORITY OF AN INSURANCE AGENT TO Bryp His Company.—In the U. S. supreme Court last week the following case was heard: No. 49. Albany City Insurance Company vs. Ballentine. Error to the Circuit Court of Mich- igan. This was an action ona policy of insur- ance. Subsequently to the delivery of the poli- cy it was returned to the agent, who, at the re- quest of the insured, endorsed on the margin, “*$10,000 fire insurance permitted,” and signed his name. On the trial it was insisted by the company that the agent had no authority to make such a contract, and that his action did not bind the principal. ‘The court ruled that if Lindsay, gthe agent, knew of the intended 210,00) fire insurance when he received the ap- plication and delivered the policy, it must be presumed that the transaction was had with reference to that fact, and that the limitation of valuation in the policy must have been in ad- dition to the $10,000. Itis here urged that this was erroneous, and that to so hold is for the court to make a new contract for the parties. The court will not presume that the company consented to insurances to so great an amount on property worth much less. It is also said that the court erred in refusing to submit the question to the jury. A. J. Parker for plaintitts nt. in error; H. B. Brown for defen Tae Nationa, Boarp or TRADE closed its session in Chicago on Saturday.

The street cars are never crowded, generally having but one or two passengers, ‘and are scarcely more numerous than hearses. Theaters, of course, are all closed, and #0, too, are more than two-thirds of the bar-rooms. Woe and desola- tion are on all, and can never be described by cn. ‘The total number of deaths from the out- reak of the peo amounts to about 1,200, which, considering that probably fully 25,0000f the residents have left the city, makes @ lar, mortality. It would be fair to suppose, if nothing extraordinary happens, that the entire death-roll at the close of the epidemic will be about 1,500. There are now about 1,000 sick. THE STApNING ArPRray AT THE LyscuneRG Farr.—The Lynchburg Republican gives the following particulars of this affair, a brief ac- count of which was telegraphed Friday: While everything was moving on in the most pleasant manner, a shriek was heard. It was found that acollision had taken place between Mr. John A. Tanner, a well known and esteemed mer- chant of this city,and Mr. Al. Pettigrew, o worthy young gentleman. With the cause of the original difficulty we are not familiarenough to write understandingly, but what occurred on the pavilion was about ‘as follows: Mr. Petti- grew wasseated between two young lady friends, engaged in a very pleasant and lively conversa. tion, when he was approached from’ behind 1 Mr.’ Tanner, who, taking hold of he pulled it Back and spat in_ his fac r. P. immediately arose to resent the insult, in doing which he jostied Mr. Tanner, who, los- ing his balance, fell to the floor. In going down, however, he made a lunge at Pettigrew with a pocket-knife, inflicting in ugly wound in the groin of the depth of about an inch anda quar- fer. At this stage of theve belligerent proceed ings friends of both gentlemen rushed to the scene, and prevented further effusion of blood: A physician was immediately samm ed, and Mr. P, was putin acarriage and ¢ veyed to the residence of Mr whiere he now lies, suffering ¢ but out of any danger of a serious Mr. Tanner was arrested, but released on bail for a alt. further hearing of the case. is aifray was the cause of great regret, and for a time occasioned much excitement. Mcrver Witt Ovr—Arrest Eleven Years After the Deed.—On Monday a warrant was Is- sued by Justice Brodt tor the arrest of a man named St. Clair Abbott. recently living at Can- nelton, charging him with having on — day ot September, isfi, shot with a rifie Augustus Grass,on Paint creek. On yesterday, eleven years after this fatal shot, Abbott was brought to the city and taken before Justice Brodt, who committed him to jailto await a preliminary examination, which was set for Monday next. It seems that none of Abbott's witnesses were present, and hence his committal to jail.— Charleston (West. Va.) Cour., 23d. Derrgssion 1x THE LEATHER BustRss.— It is estimated that at least thirty per cent. of the men recently employed in the leather man- nfactories of Wilmington have been discharged. Many of the firms are shutting down on the manufacture of stock. It ix said that one of the jargest firms in the city has issued orders that no more skins be prepared for manufacture at present. Most of the firms have large stocks on hand which they desire to sell before manufac- turing more.— Wilmington (Del.) € i New York kw Po.ice Jusricgs.—Short, sharp and decisive was the action of the board of aldermen yesterday in taking up and con sidering favorably the mayor's nominations for police justiceships. Nine’ new magistrates are to take their seats immediately, and nine of the old regime retire to the shades of private life. Justice Bixby is the only magistrate of the an- cienttenretained. ‘The legal aphorism, fat jus- titta, has for him @ double meaning.—New York Herald, 26th.
