T~ ~ " * ' Outrage op a Judge b NoW Or lean*. . During the examination of a case connected with the Inte contested election for Sheriff in New- Orleans, on Wednesday week, before Judgo Rubcrtson, of the District Court, a man named Daunoy intruded himself between the Judge's scat and the Clerk's desk, and upon being ordered to stand out of the way by the Judge, refused to obey. He was accordingly forcibly expelled from the Court by ohe of the deputy Sheriffs. There was some difficulty in accomplishing this measure, as Daunoy forcibly resisted, but Judge Robertson cried out "remove him, and if there is any resistance made, kill him." The Judge then wrote out Ills commitment for ten days for con tempt of Court, and ordered, tho deputy to oax-cuus 11. in me meantime, tlie friends of Daunoy had assembled outside tlie Court, and had determined to prevent the arrest. Mr. Randeil Hunt, the eminent counsel. ^cnig mo uiieniumng siaie oi anairs, actvised Judge Robertson to accept the apology of Patinoy. Accordingly Dannoy was called into Court and on disclaiming all contempt was discharged. The- next mo'rniijg .as Judge Robertson waa-goiijg to Court, lie was raeV by Daunoy on Touloune street. At first the conversation assumed an amicable tone, but Dnunov suddenly changed his .manner, and *aid, "I want you to apologise for your conduct to me yesterday." "Apologize!" replied tho Judge, uyou have mistaken your man if you suppose I, can apologize for performing my duty." Daunoy immediately pushed him off to liavo him within reach of a very heavy loaded cane, with which he struck him a tremendous blow on the head, which was foll6wed by others in quick succession. The Judge tried t.o draw hu pistol, but one hnnd was occupied in parrying the blows nnd he could not succeed. Two or three friends of Dnunoy then jumped upon the Judge, catching bis arms and choking him, while tho chief assailant continued his Assault, The Judgo at last succeeded in drawing his pistol, but it was wrested from his hands at once. The heating lnr.tcd for some time. One of the Sheriff's deputies, who was fortunately passing bv came up and rescued the Judge from' iL _ r t P ?5 iiib gnji-oi ins iow. mo wounds inflicted aro #aid to bo very severe. ... . Charleston Courier. Corn Speculators Bitten.?Since the incoming of (be corn crop thisneasoit speculators and dealers- have been largely engaged in making purchases along the Ohio and Wabash rivers. They commenced operations at comparatively high figures, and soon tho river banks were lined with huge jmes 01 corn in sacK8 awaiting shipment; but prices almost immediately declined, and holders in a great measure ceased shipping, as the prico in foreign markets would not warrant the cost of transportation. A steamer arrived at Louisville from Henderson Inst week with one thousand sacks of corn for distillers at Carrolhon. It is the fin?t receipt of a purchase bv them of alvutt 92,000 bushels of corn. It was bought in Indiana early in the season, and the price paid varied from forty to forty-two cents per bushel. Subsequently th<*y proffered the farmers ten cents per bushel to take the corn back and rescind their contracts, which they of course refused. Other buyers en| tered more largely into the trade, and very many of them bought corn l>y the hundred thousand bushels, or agreed to take the entire standing crops of the farmers, anticipating high prices. - Tho market everywhere,, as fast ns corn betran to arrive, declined. ami prices went down to" 25 cents, at which :riites speculators are again buying largely. The crop is a large one. Last season, owing to the drought, it failed, and prices every whereran up to 90 cents andtl p^r bushel; hut from present indications the Louisville Co.uner says there is'no likelihood that they wii] exceed half those rides thisseasoq.
