Jefferson City, Mo., April 27.—This city was shocked by the announcement of a personal difficulty between two distinguished persons, the parties being Auditor Walker and John W. Henry, an ex-judge of the supreme court, in which the latter was dangerously shot and tii* auditor severely wounded in the head from a stroke of Judge Henry's cane. There has existed for some time an ill feeling between the two men, which doubtless was intensified by reason of the legislative investigation into charges against the auditor, that officer believing Judge Henry had more or lees to do with bringing about the investigation.The two men met near the Capitol gate, and after a few angry words had been exchanged Judge Henry struck Mr. Walker over the head with his cane.

C3., April 2t.—The celebration of the unveiling of the statue to John O. Calhoun in this city yesterday was an event to which the people erf the state have looked forward for many year*, and large numbers came from every part of the state to witness the proceedings." The entire population of the city turned oitt, tbe result being a parade and an assemblage of sightseers such as is rarely witnessed in tbe south The number of men in the rankB ia the various military and civic organizations is estimated at 5,000.

The building occupied by the gatekeeper ww burned. 'The band worked all night cutting toe dykes with pick and spade. The volume of water is thus largely reduced, though the reservoir is not entirely drained. The damage is $6,000. The people are substantially a unit in desiring the destruction of toe reservoir, because it covers a taiga ana of fine farming land, and renders toe entire region sickly. They will give no information as to the men concerned in toe outrage; Fifty picked men of the three Toledo companies left here last evening for Antwerp in response to the govertioi"® orders. There i» no likelihood of armed collision. The troops have a Getting gun with them. The whole route was lined with dense throngs of people, who overflowed the aidewalks'and filled the doorways, windows and balconies from the basement to the attic of every building. The number of spectators along the route was not less than 20,000, and tbe crowd that gathered arotmd the statue was but little less. There was a liberal display of bunting everywhere, the United States flag occupying a conspicuous place in the column, on the houses and on the speakers' stand. The statue was draped by both the state and the national colors, which wife drawn away by six little children, while thirty-five young ladies and misses stood around a3 sponsors.

The babies were Julia Calhoun, greatgranddaughter of the statesman; William Lowndes Calhoun, great-grandson of the statesir.ui; B. Putnam Calhoun, Jr., greatgrandson of the statesman, and great-grandnephew of Gen. Putnuln; Sadie Ancrum, greot-Krand-nieCSe 6t the s-tntenman; Floride _ Calhoun Pickens and Floride Peyne Johnson. "TKoTfofllcaWy prayer was made by Rev. Dr. C. C. Piokney. Mayor Courteney introduced the orator of the day. Scci-etary Lamar's oration—an elaborate and eloquent iianegyric—was a comprehensive analysis of the character of Mr. Qalhoun, and a brilliant portrayal of his career as a statesman. It delineated his social, moral and'intellectual traits, which rondered him a majestic figure, a master mind among his fellow men, and it gave a rational definition to the real purposes and true spirit of the great Carolinian as a leader of public opinion and as the author of important public measures. Calhoun's purity of life and sterling integrity were the granite foundation of the character underlying and supporting the splendid superstructure of his exalted qualities of genius, eloquence, wisdom and patriotism, and the people of South Carq]ina, in erecting this statue, might feel that they were rendering and perpetuating their homage to the majesty of moral rectitude. After a full exposition of Mr. Calhoun's state rights ideas and nullification doctrine, the orator declared that nullification did not mean secession; that it had in it not one element of disunion, and that the controversy over South Carolina's nullification movement closed by a compromise act which repealed the odious tax law that Calhoun's state had nullified. More than this, Andrew Jackson, the man of iron will and pitiless purpose, in the face of his proclamation, signed the act that swept from the statute book the enactment which South Carolina in her asserted sovereignty had declared unconstitutional, null, void and inoperative in her limits. - .A W h : - Of Mr. Calhoun's attitude toward slavery, the orator declared that the great Carolinian never entertained or expressed a sentiment respocting the canstitutieeal status of-slavery in the states that was not entertained and expressed by Henry Clay, Thomas Benton, Daniel Webster, John Quincy Adams and all the eminent statesmen of his time. Calhoun held with them all that slavery was an institution at society in the states, sanctioned and upheld by the constitution, protected and enforced exen upon the states where slavery did not exists by- the "fundamental law of the Union. Mr. Crneker Presents His Daughter with a Trtflo Towaril Housekeeping. San Francisco, April «7.—At noon yesterday Mr. Charles B. Alexander, of the New York law firm of Alexander & Green, and Miss Harriot J. Crocker, the daughter of Charles Crocker, a leading banker and railroad man in the west, who is said to be worth #50,000,000. were married in Grace church. Mr. Harrington thought the word of a man who had never yet been proved guilty of falsehood would have been taken anywhere. If it suited the Conservatives to repeat their offensive insinuations, then their opponents could hardly be- held answerable for their temper in meeting the charges. (Parnellite cheers.) Similar Insults and calumnies had been met in former times in a very different manner from that adopted nowadays. Since the wholesale arrest of the Pan Han-, die brakemen the Pennsylvania company has beta busily engaged in working up similar cases on its other divisions. - It is stated thai - while the thefts on the Pan Handle road far outnumbered those on any of the other lines operated by the Pennsylvania company, that the latter has a list of conductors and brakemen oil t.fw other Unw ajrainst whom in formations for robbery at*y be brought;at any moment, and be backed up with the most startling and criminating evidence. A detective in the employ of Gilkinscm's agency stated that the arrest of Scanlon will be speedily followed by a number of others on the same charge. . ( , , , , donrto* Cordon Strlokan Don . I i The original elaborate plans for the wedding wore somewhat changed, owing to the recent death of Mrs. Frederick Crocker, the sister-in-law of the bride, and only the near relatives and friends of the family were pittent. Mr. James L. Carew, Nationalist, asked what Mr. W. H. Smith meant b£ associating the National league with "cowardly assassins who were tyrannizing over peaceful peasants r In reply Mr. Smith said that the phrase occurred in a letter written by his secretary. He himself had not seen it, but he accepted the responsibility for the language used. Mr. Henry A. Alexander acted as best man and Min Green was one of the bridesmaids. The bride entered the church on the arm of her father. Saw York, April 27.—Arrived, steamers Elbe, Bremen and Southampton; Clrcassia, Glasgow and Moville; Trinacria, Gibraltar; Charles F.

The church was beautifully decorated with flowers, and the great edifice was crowded to the door with the elite of the state. The bridal party entered the church to the music of the "Wedding March" from "Lohengrin." The question was then asked: What did Mr. Smith mean by coupling the Gladstonians with "avowed enemies of England? The wedding presents were numerous and costly, the bride wearing a diamond necklace, a present from the groom. Another of the presents was a check for $1,000,000, which was given her by her father. Mr. Smith again admitted that this phrase had been used by his secretary in a letter which he himself had not seen. He declined to be explicit as to the meaning of the expression, but referred his questioners to the columns of United Ireland. Augusta, Ga., April 27.—While Gen.

Calhoun's' life was one of uninterrupted homage to woman. He was a true son of South Carolina.
