An. episode between Mr. Blaine and Senator Edmunds at' the house of e President Arthur,' prior to the f dnerah, occasions considerable comment. A gentleman who was present upon the occasion and! witnessed the scene thus describes the occurrence: On Sunday night last Senator Ed munds called at general Arthur's house and was shown in the- parlor, where he was seated, when Mr. Blaine, accompanied by Colonel Mc Michael, descended from the upper part of the house, whither he had gone to express condolence with Mrs. Mc Elroy and other members of the ex president's family. Not knowing of Senator Edmunds' presence, Colonel McMichael and Mr. Blaine entered the parlor, which was only occupied by Mr. Edmunds and another gentle man. Knowing the relations exist ing between Messrs. Blaine and Ed munds, Colonel McMichael felt some what embarrassed, but had gone too far to retreat. He therefore simply announced upon entering the parlor: "Gentlemen, Mr. Blaine." Upon this Senator Edmunds arose, stepped to wards Mr. Blaine and extended his hand. Without saying a word, Mr. Blaine turned his back upon Mr. 'Ed munds,' left the parlor and the house and went directly to the Fifth Avenue hotel, where be met ex-Secretary Chandler and General Sherman to whom he related the occurrence. Mr. Chandler and General Sherman are re ported to have informed Mr. Blaine that he had made a mistake in acting thus rudely in the house - of a dead friend. AN IMPORTANT DECISION. Memphis, Tenn. November 24. An important question was decided in the United States Circuit Court yes terday by Judge Howell E. Jackson. The question arose under the laws of Congress of June 7th, 1862, and Feb ruary Cth, 1863, imposing a direct tax on all lands in the United States and appointing commissioners to collect the same in the insurrectionary States. The commissioners established a rule which virtually confiscated the prop erty of all who were in the confed erate army. This rule provided hat wheife the owner did not offer to pay the tax himself he would not be per mitted to do so through any agent or friend. Under the option of this rule many Southern people were deprived of their property and land, which was sold to sharks, who were on hand for the purpose of buying. The case de cided yesterday was that of W. J. Smith vs. McNeil. Judge Jackson held that whenever it could be shown that the above mentioned rule was en forced, all sales under the act are void and a tender of payment by the own er through an agent was unnecessary as it would have been of no vmk therefore, he erave juderment for We defendant, McNeil, whose land ha been purchased by the plaintiff.

The Assembly is composed of heaters and rollers, but it is the intention to admit puddlers in a few days. All that men enrolled are members of the Amalgamated Association and intend to remain so. This is the beginning of a general movement for the enroll ment of skilled iron and steel workers as Knights, all still retaining their membership in the Amalgamated Association. The object is to to have dual organization, and thus to increase their power by being backed not only by the Amalgamated Association, but also by. the Knights. The Knights of Labor, of this District, it is said, will claim a .direct representation in the scale of the conferences in the future, and will not allow anv scale to take effect unless indorsed by them, movement is rapidly spreading, several mills on the Southside shortly be organized.
