SENATOR H. H. RIDDLEBERGER.

The excitement caused by the recent arrest of Senator Riddleberger, fbr contempt of court, by the plucky Judge Newman, of Winchester, Va., has somewhat subsided,

although the threats of numbers of enraged citizens are still lurking predominantly in the Winchester atmosphere. Riddleberger seems to take the affair in a calm, matter-of-fact way that only tends toward causing the enrngement of the Judge and his adherents, to the perfect delight and satisfaction of Riddleberger and his constituents. “Now, young lady, you may take the stand,” said the lawyer in a case in Justice Norton’s, the other day. “Yes, sir,” she replied, with a beaming smile. “That does me up!” whispered a man on one of the benches. “I’m her husband, and she’s forty-nine years old, but the sugar on that lawyer’s tongue will cost me S3O for millinery before the Ist of the month.”
