SUPREME CoUKT.—The Curtis political assessment is atthe foot of the calendar of the Supremo Court for to-day’s business, ana it will hardly be reached for argument before to-morrow. ‘The case of G.

Observers in other cities, blessed with. cloudless skies, are announcing Splits, disintegrations, and cometic cataclasms, without numver. The very indefinite manner in which the location of the ‘latest fragment is de- scribed gives an astronomer but a very slight clue toenable him to find tt. The first fair morning, however, will be devoted to a sweeping search for the new bodies.

NavaL Nores.—The Despatch passed Cape Henry, bound in, yesterday afternoon, and the ‘Tallapoosa passed the Delaware breakwater,bound out, yesterday. Real Admiral Nicholson, com- ding the European squadron, reports ‘to the Navy department under date of Trieste, Austria, October 34, that the flagship Lancaster, having been caulked outside and her engines overhauled, will leave on October 4 for a cruise.

Soteldo, the trial of which is fixed for next Monday, Col Christy his counsel, to-day filed an order for a subpena duces tecum on Hon. J. R. West, commissioner of the District, to search oareey for papers. of which the coptes are printed below, and if found to produce them, It 1s alleged that after the pub- leation of the article in the Repudlican reflect! on A. M. Soteldo he went to Mr. Graham wit copies of these letters, his object being to show the character of Barton, and was referred to Bar- ton, and that when he went into the office on the evening of his death he had the papers in his pos- Session, his object being to command silence on the part of Barton. It is yet a mystery as to how he obtained possession of them. ‘The following are the letters: SANDERSON TO ARTHUR SHEPHERD, Wasnixerox, D. C., Dec. 30th, 1876.

Sanderon, ESC THE THEORY which the defense will endeavor to maintain by proof at the trial is that Barton was the assailant, that Soteldo did not visit him with murderous In- tent, that Soteldo when he went to the Republican office had a copy of the papers given above tn his hand, and that when he showed them to Barton the latter became angry and made the assault. The defense propose to establish a motive for the assault by producing the letters. A Card from Mr. Barton. To the Editor of Tue Evexrxa Star: Col. Christie, counsel for A. C. Soteldo, has filed & request in court relative to certain papers bear- log on financial transactions between Arthur Shepherd, C. T. Sanderson and myself, which oc- curred six years ago and have long since bee! tled. It is evidently done to smirch my character before the public, and can have no possiole bear- ing in the coming trial of A. C. Soteldo. Respectfully, eeenie CLARENCE M.
