UNION COURSE, L, I —TROTTING. The past week has been one of great activity | among turfmen, every day affording trotting of | some kind; but decidedly the best was reserved for the last, and yesterday’s race has not been sur- pasted, if equalled, this searon. The trot was a match for $1,000 aside, between 6. g. Whalebone and b. m. Fanny D., two mile heats, in harness. The match was made on Thursday last, to come off yesterday afternoon, giving the horres no time for preparation, yet, still, they came to the post in capi- tal order. Whalebone has been driven almost daily for the last month in double harness over the plank roads, enough to take away the speed of the most enduring horse, while Fanny D. had hardly suflicieat time to recover from her race of Wednesday last. “A match well made is half won,” is an old adage among sporting men; and, from the great odds offered on Whalebone previous to the start, an uninterested party would have been led to believe that Whalebone had an easy task be- fore him. It was not so, however, for a more equally matched pair of horses have seldom, or never, been Lrought together. ‘Tis was pa. ticularly apparent in the two last heats, both of which were won by about aneck. One hundied to forty was the current odds on Whalebone before the start. This horse was driven by George Spicer, the mare being in the | hands of Hiram Woodruff. The track was good and the weather favorable. First Heat——Whalebone won the pole. They were started under good headway at the first at- tempt, Hiram taking the lead round the turn, and to the quarter pole, u couple of lengths, in forty-two seconds—both horses having broken up before reach- ing there. Whalebone broke again on the back stretch, and fell offbadly. Hiram led to the half mile pole half a dozen lengths, in 1:22. He kept the gap open around the lower turn and up the homestretch, parsing the stand in 2:46, about thirty yardsin front of Whalebone. Hiram continued to widen the gap to fifty yards on the upper turn of the second mile, and at the half was nearly one hundred yards in front. He maintained ali this advantage, and came home, in hand, about that distance in front, in 5:304 —making the last mile of the heat in 2:444. Second Heat—The backers of Whalebone looked very gloomy, there being no chance to hedge, while thore who had taken the odds were in ecstacie.. Those who had backed the mare thonght that the: had a‘‘sure thing,” and were satisfied with their bets as they had made them. The horses came up for the word very nicely, but Hiram’s mare broke on the turn, and fell three or four lengths behind Whalebone, to the quarter pole, in forty-three se- | cons. She lay in that position down the back- stretch to the half, in 1:22. Fanny made a skip soon after Icaving the half, and fell off another th; but she began closing as she approached the homestretch, and was within a length of Whale- | bone when they reached the score. Time—2:47. Whalebone broke on the turn, but made several des- | derate plunges, and gained a length by the opera- tion. Whalebone went down the backstretch about @ open length ahead. On the lower turn Hiram | closed up to his wheel, lapped him on the turn, and after a splendid struggle all the way up, they reach ed the score head and head. There was very little difference in them, one of the judges claiming the heat for the mare, while the others gave it to the gelding. A closer affair has never taken place, and dead heat would haye been the correct decision. | The majority overruled, and Whalebone was de- claied winner, in 5:334. The last mile of this heat was done in 2:464. Thud Heat—The fortunes of the backers of Whulebone secmed to have brightened, but there were few offers to bet on him. The horses came up well and got the word, Spicer with Whalebone, leading round the turn, anda length to the quarter | peti pole, in forty-three seconds. They keptin the same way down the backstretch to the half mile pole, in 1:22, Hiram reached Spicer’s wheel after having parsed the half, but broke again and fell off a levgth. Round the lower turn he worked the mare up to the top of ber speed, and was ahead of Spicer approaching the stand; but his mare broke, and Spicer crossed the score a length ahead, in 2:47. The mare appeared much distressed, and broke up tw ceon the next quarter, falling off three lengths. Down the backstretch she seemed to have given up the contest; but rallying again, she closed on the lower turn, where Whalebone left his feet, gaining as before: his breaks being rather an advantage. He was at work again in an instant, and being re- freseld by his jumps trotted better therefrom. The | mare es1'e on him again vigorously, and nearly ; *Cached his head, when up she went, and this de- cided the race in favor of the gelding. In the break she fell in behind Whalebone, but was brought out in for the last grand rally, urged to her utmost, | snd gained at eve 1 step to the score. Whalebone, had mede too much on her in her last Tweak, and he passed the stand a neck and shoulders cod, in 5:26.

This principle is enforced by the opinions of nearly every Attorney General of the United States since the foundation of the re- ublic. Interest, when claimed of the government, is in the nature of damages for withholding money which it ought to have paid and did not pay. The United States will not pay damages on account of the mistakes or /aches of its officers. This rule is spoken of by Attorney General Legare, in an opinion ven April 2, 1842, as ‘‘ a stérn, but necessary rule, adopted everywhere in the practice of government.” DirFrourty iN THE ALABAMA University—A | serious difficulty has occurred at the University of Alabama, and a large number of students have left on account of it. It seems that a student havin; broken a simple regulation of the institution, an been expelled therefor, his fellow class-mates and a number of other students, in effect, declared the act t nical and unjust, and asked the restitution of the offender, or an explanation of the harsh mea- sures resorted to by the faculty. The professors re- fused to give their Yoon peeks any satisfaction, and the result was a general withdrawal of the in- censed students. It is said that not less than fifty of these have left the University. 1s Mrssissrpp1.—C. Rea, editor of the Lau- (Ala.) Republican, and W. P.
