The sensational controversy between George .Joftroy nnd Edson P. Hich , by which n legul partnership wus dissolved by the use ot a revolver , was up for bearing before Judge Scott ngatn yesterday. The case on trial wna against Uiol ) , who vtM ohargod with contempt , In tuts that ho had refused to oajy it wdt of MIJ oour The case was opened up by the lawyers pei'ndlng v/iudnnd sparring for tlmo. Air. Montgomery , attorney for Hlch , said that thuro was n possibility of a settlement , and for that reason ho thought that a post ponement-was ndvlsablo. Judge Scott replied that , ho did not under stand how Inwynrs could aettlo a contempt caso. and as far us ho was concerned no thought It would bo bolter to finish the case and h.ivo It out of the way. Mr. Montgomery was of the opinion that a dnlay would not lower the dignity ot the curt. Mr. Hartlott , attorney for Jeffrey , said that ho did not fuel justified in making nny fcottlomcnt that would Interfere with the other brocoedlugs. Ho v.oulit not trade on ctio contempt proceedings. Then thu ball was oponod. Jpllniy Tells Ills Story. Goorco .Jcffroy went upon the witness stand and detailed ( no facts uf the partnership - ship , the lOatrnlnlng order Hint bo alleged thnt Uicn had violated and the affray which toolt plnco In the ofllces of the llrm In the United States bank building on July 21. On that day. In company with Deputy Shoritr Uuiloy hn wont thnro to servo thu Injunction restraining Ulch Iroir Interfouni : with him In looltlng over the books , papers and llrm accounts. Ho entered thooflico and found llieh slump in thu mam ofllco. The Injunc tion wns handed to Ulch , after which he and Dulloy nasscd into the third room. A moment later Rich stepped to the door and said : "George , you had bettor tot out. of horn , as there Is no such llrm as Jcffroy & illch. " Ho said that he had looked up the law and that the ardor of the court did not apply to him. Then Hich took out his watch and told Jeffrey that If ho did not get out within five minutes ho would throw him out of thu window. At tlio end of two minutes Hich again entered the alllco and said : "Mow you got out of here or I'll break your nock. " A few minutes Inter ho m.ido a rush at Tcftioy , and as ho did so JclTioy pulled his revolver and fired , the lull sinking Hlch in l no right arm , after which JolTroy surrendered to the sheriff. IJoputy Sheriff Dally was sworn and cor roborated the stiitPincnt madu by Jaflroy. On tint Otliur side. The prosecution rested and the dofonco opened , Kdson Hlch going upon ilia stnnd. Ho remembered the service of the writ , and I after receiving It , said that he was very angry as ho considered that thoru was no sucli llrm is Jeffrey & Hcch. Ho had cancelled the lease on the ofllccrs , released them In his own name and dissolved Iho part nership. Ho told JefTroy that ho would throw him out of the window , but it wns only a blutT , as ho old not Intend to Jo anything of the Ulnd. Ho told Jeffrey lhat If ho did not got out of the ollluo wlth'in live minutes that ho would ttuow him out. After that ho sat down and road the writ again. This made him still nnurior , and getting tin wont to the door of the room In which Jeffrey wns sluing , called him a vile name , and again told him to gut out of the oflleo and never return. Again ho loft the loom , but .soon returned to ask Jeffrey what ho would tuko and cot out of the o 111 eo. As ho entered the room Jeffrey shot. Witness was about eight foot from Jeffrey when the shot was fired. Witness had no Intention of violating the order of the court and had no intention of harming Jeff rey. rey.On Sunday , July 17 , when Joffrpv visited thu ofllco in company with his llttlo boy , witness said that ho would break every bono In his ( Jeffrey's ) body , if tdo child was not with him. Hoyas angry nt that time , but did not mean what ho said. Hu did , however , upon that occasion , gran Jeffrey nnd throw him out of HID ofllco , at tbo sumo timn telling him to never como back. Witness domed that ho Inid ever said that thu restraining order did not apply to him. M. L. Scars , a clerk In Hlch's otllco , ro laicd the story of ttie shooting substantially as told 'n Tin : Bun at the timo. He suw Kiel ) go into the ofllco wlioro Jeffrey win Bitting. A shot followed and Htch ran hack into the main olllcn. The witness then Bei7cd Jeffrey and disarmed him. ,1 u elf" Scut I'M Diii'lttlon. Nothing important in the way of additional evidence was elicited and Iho case was sub mitted without argument. In rondorlnt' the decision Judgg Scott said that It was very clear to his mind that the defendant was very angry and had shown n determina tion to throw Jeffrey out of the ofllco. Ho had read the order of tbo court and wus interfering In n very substantial manner with its opera tion. To say nnvthltig ttiat had a tendency to destroy tbo efficiency of the order of the court was to violate that order. There wis ho middle mound , and when an order of that bind was Us'wed It Miould bu obeyed abso lutely. Hlch wns lined 5100 and costs nnd required to glvo a bond of i'MO to obey the order of the couit hereafter. The j'udgo laid ho would Imva doubled the line hod the lulonduntiint already suffered nemo. Thu attorney for the defendant stated that thu cuso would not bu contested any further tnd that the sentence would bu complied With. ( 'li'itilni ; HID Oilliilinil Dm'Iuil.

"Thoro nro two methods of burVostlncr , I.e. , by hand and by macatno. In tno work by hand the beet is taken hold of by the tops and removed from the soil by the aid of a trowel or two-prongod fork. The oujectlon to this method is that the beets mo likely to bu more or less unavoldauly bruised , thus In creasing their liability to uurly decay , in mechanical harvesting a machine which loosens the soil on both sides of the row Ute to be recommended.

The uecks must bo cut off some time before the beets gu into factory consumption , howevor. and the Germans universally prefer to do it on the ilclu.

These roots , however , which are to.bo worked up later In the joason must In tbo meantime bo nroporly protected , and precautionary meas ures will vary according to conditions of cllmatu and soil. The prublu.ri is to secure protection from frost and at the sumo time lo guaid against the development of two High a temperature in the Mios , thus promoting germination and tbo'-Uirowlnf- ot now leaves. The methods of storing In Germany are still riithor primitive. The sysiom most In voguu Is to build a simple tronuh or cellar , round 01 oblong in xhapo and from UO to 40 conlirnolors (8 to 10 inches ) deep. The beets are thrown Into this cellar and piled up above Iho jurfaco to a height of about " 0 Inches. Us roots composing the outsldo layer are packo 1 with the tapering end down wards.

Hcnowod Investigations , hoxvovor , confirm the accuracy of the state- ruout In question. The reasons for this largo quantity have boon hinted nt before tbo roots suffer loss from frost and insects. May frost bore may snfoly bo reckoned with. When the oools are elosu together oniy the outer ono * nro damaged , and these compressing against the insldo plants form , an effectual protection. This Is Important , slnco a rosowlng Is looked upon as prejudicial to tbo complete success of the crop. Again , in proportion an the roots are thickly planted insects are loss likely to devour or ruin the whole crop. Ex perience has also shown that beets grow moro evenly with a heavy sowing. It is further probable that tbo dcurnoss of the land makes it highly important to utilize all uvollablo spaco. "It must bo berne In mind , though , thnt this prescription is the ono that has noon found oost for Gorman climatic conditions. In. localities where no May frosts occur , and where uninterrupted warm weather may bo counted upon to promote stuady vegetation , twenty pounds or even loss will probably bo found'sufllclont. llio qpa way of exactly determining this will b"o bv actual trial.

There , ami in that room , the sessions of the city council were hold. A. J. Popploton , who succeeded Mayor Lowe , kept the mayor's ofllco in his law ofllco. As Mr. Popploton in these days did not have an nbundunco of worldly goods , consequently ho kunt the books and papers ot the mayor's olllce in a dlnuy baok room on Fnrimm , near Twelfth street.

Mayor Uoboris , when elected , moved Into thu back room , on tbo third floor of ibo old People's theater building. His successor , Alayqr Ezra Mlllard , during his lorm of olllce occupied the same room , but when S. fc > . Caldwell was elected ho moved the ofllco Into his own building , n couple of doors cast. Mayor J. H. Millard put the otllco on wheels nnd moved it over to the Hcllman block , which In tboso days was u throe-story structure. Mayor Champion S. Chase found n homo for the oflico in the old Patlou blook , n frame bullalne which slood at the corner of Sixteenth and Farnara , where the Commercial National bank Is now standing. This same room was occupied by Mayor Loubon Wilbar , who sur rendered the control of the city to Mayor James E. Boyd. Mr. Bovd held the olilco In bis own building nn Harnoy street. When Mayor Broatch wont into ofllco ho hold forth nt two plaeos. Part ol the city business ho transacted In his store on Har- nov street nnd the balance in tbo Exposition bulldlni ; annex at Fourteenth and Daren- pott streets.

Chief of Stall of the Army : Geniral Mr. IJann , assistant secretary of war. has just returned. Ho In forms mo thnt ho called attention to thu ne cessity of sending General Butler to nnothor Hold of duty. Whllsu I have no dlfllcultv with Gonural Butler , ( lading him nhvnya clear In bis conception of orders nnd prompt to obey , yet there Is n want of knowledge how to execute nnd particularly n pivjmlieo against him as a commander , that upcmlos against his usefulness. 1 hnvu loarpil thnt It might become necessary lo supurato htm aud General ( Utility ) Smith. Thu latter Is really ono of the most rflldont olllcors In ser vice , readiest In oxpcdlnnts and most skillful in Iho inntmcomcnt of troops in action. I would dlsllko removing him from his present command unless It was to increase It , but , us I say , may have It to do yet if General But ler remains. As an administrative nfllcor General Butler has no superior. In taking charge of a department where lliore are no great battles lo bo fought , but a dissatisfied clement to control , no ono could manage it better than bo. If n command could bo cut out such ns Mr. Dana proposed , imnioly , Koiucky , Illinois and Indiana , or if the departments of the Missouri , Kansas nnd iho stales of Illinois and Indiana could bo irorgod together and General Butler put over It , I bollevo the good of the service would bo subserved. ' regret the necessity of asking for n change in commanders here , but General Butler , not boltiK a soldier by education or experience , Is in the hands of his subordinates in tbo execution of all operations military. 1 would fcol strengthened with timlth , Franklin or J. J Reynolds com manding tha right wing of thu army. At the same tlmo , as I have bora stated , Gen eral Butler has always been prompt in his obodloncu to bis ordor.s from mo and clear In his uudnrstnndmg of thorn. I would nut , therefore , bo willing to recommend his re tirement. 1 send this by mnll for considera tion , but will telegraph if I think it abso- lulolv necessary lo make n change.

Grant , City Point , Vn. : General Your note of Ibo 1st Instant in relation to General Butler Is just received. I will , as you propose - pose , await further advlcos from you before 1 submit the matter ofllclnlly to the secre tary of war and Ibo president. It was foreseen - soon from the first that you would eventu ally Hnd it necessary to relieve General B. on account of his total tinfltness to command in tha Hold and his generally qtinrrclsonia character , What shall ba douo with him has , therefore , already noon , as Inm Informed , a matter of consultation. To send him to Ken tucky would probably ciuso nn inuurrocllou In that slate und'an Immbdlaia call Tor largo reinforcements. Moreover , ho would piob- ably greatly embarrass Snorman. It ho did not atlompt to supersede him , by using against him nil his talent nt political in- Irlguo and his facilities for ncwspaporabuso. It you soiid him to Missouri nearly the same thing will occur there. Although it might not bo objectionable to have a free light between twoon him and Kosocrans tbo trovorumcnt would bo seriously embarrassed by tbo local difllcultles , and calls for reinforcements likely to follow. Invoteruto as is Hosecrans'j habit of continually callIng - Ing for moro troops , Butler differs only In demanding instead of calling. As things now stand in the west , I think wo can kuop the ponce , but If Butler ho thrown In as n disturbing uloment I anticipate vurv serious results. Why not leavn General Butler In the local command of his depart ment. Including North Carolina , Norfolk. Fort Monroe , Yorktown , etc. . nnd make n now urmv corps of thu part of tuoElghleonlh under Smith ) This would leave B. under your Immediate control. and nt the same time would relieve you of his prusonco in the Held Moreover , it would save the necessity of organising n now dupartmcnt. If ho must bo relieved entirely I think it would bo best to make n now du- partinont for him In Now England. I mnko these remarks merely as suggestions. What ever you may llnally determine on I will trv to have dono. As General B. claims to rank mo I shall glvo him no orders , whuruvor bo may go , without thu special direction of yourself or the secretary of war. Yours truly , H. W. HALT.ICK : , Major General.
