EXTRAORDINARY STATE OF SOCIETY.

We hear it from a source that is entitled to entire confidence,
that such is the state of the controversy among"the printers in
Washington that individuals have for some time past carried
dirks and pistols for self-protection.

THE WAY STRANGERS ARE TREATED IN NEW
YORK.

On Saturday afternoon, about four o'clock, an affray took
place at the United States Hotel, between Mr. Redmond, the
landlord, and hiS bar keeper, on the one side, and Mr. O'Logh-
lin and his two sons, on the other, in the course of which a fowl-
ing piece, loaded with shot, was discharged, and the contents
took effect in the side of Mr. Redmond, wounding the flesh
severely, but not dangerously. The examination of the bar
keeper, and of the three O'Loghlins, has taken place at the
police office, from which it appears that the family of O'Logh-
lin, consisting of the father, two sons, and two daughters, for
two thorium past have been lodging at the United States Hotel,
at a stipulated price per week, and that they had regularly paid
Up to last Monday. On Saturday, Mr. Redmond gave notice
that he was about to alter his house, and that the boarders must
'eek other quarters. In the afternoon the father called fur his
bill. It was presented to him, he objected that it was made out
for an entire week, and that having been notified to leave on
that day, he was not bound to pay more than five days; that the
week would not expire until Monday following; that in
consequence of the notice to colt given in the morning the
family had been engaged in preparations to depart, and had
not dined. Just then the son Frederick came in, and re-
quested some money of his father to pay the washerwoman,
and hearing the objections made by his father-to Redmond's
bill, suggested to his father that it was better to pay it, and the
father then said to the bar keeper, take the bill back to Mr.
Redmond, and tell him I will pay for six clear days. The bar
keeper returned with a message from Redmond that the bill
was right and must be paid. Mr. Redmond soon entered, and
said that he wanted an explanation from one of the younger
O'Loghlins for some conduct of which he complained. The
young man present said he had no explanations to give, and
that they were ready to -pay up, which was all Mr. Redmond
was entitled to. Mr. Redmond, after a few more words, struck
the old gentleman in the 'face, kicked him, struck the son, and
again struck the father in the face, causing the blood to flow
most profusely. The bar keeper entered, raised a chair, struck
the
..yosing man °e'er the head, and with the chair forced him
out of the door on to the piazza, where he commenced calling
murder loudly. The bar keeper states that when he seized
O'Loghlin, the latter took a knife from his pocket, and struck
at Redmond: At this period, Andrew, the other son, who was
in his appartment up stairs, hearing the voice of his brother
crying murder, seize a fowling piece which stood in the corner
of his room, and which for some days had been loaded with
shot, and rushed down stairs and entered. the room, where be
saw his father covered with blood, and his brother engaged with
the bar keeper. It is alleged that he threatened to fire unless
the battle ceased, when Redmond sprang towards him, seized
the barrel of the fowling piece, and, in the struggle between
them for the gun, it was discharged by accident.
The father and his two sons then retreated up stairs, and with
another fowling piece appeared determined to maintain their
position, and not allow the crowd of people below to molest
them; at the same tiene.they were all calling out repeatedly fur
the magistrates and police.officers, saying they would quietly
submit to their protection, but to no other. Thus they held on
'until the appearance of Mr. Homans, to whom they immediately
submitted themselves and their fowling pieces, on his informing
them that he was a police officer—and' they desired to go before
a magistrate—and said they were willing to abide by the laws of
the country. They were kept separate from the time of their
arrest until the examination of each was taken—and without
concert they have substantially given the same narration of the
circumstances of the affray.. We are happy to learn that Mr.
Redmond is doing well, and that the father and the sons have
given bail. It appeals. that Mr. 0' Loghliu and his family are
from Dublin—that he is an officer of the British revenue ser-
vice, retired upon an allowance—dhe sons were educated with
a view to enter tho army, in which they hiid a relative of high
rank as. an officer—that the family came to- this country about
eleven months since with the expectation of settling in Indiana,
where they had a friend or relation upon whose solicitation they
came out to America—that they went to Indiana, and finding
that death had removed their friend shortly before their arrival
at his house, they returned to this city, expecting to purchase a
small farm in this vicinity, or to return to Dublin. The fowling
pieces were brought by the young men from Dublin. We trust
that the strangers and all parties concerned may, and we doubt
not they will, leave even-handed justice administered in the in-
vestigation of this unfortunate affair.

• MARRIAGE ExTtlitountNAßY.—(Montgomery, (Ma.). Mav
29.—Married, in this place, on Wednesday morning last, by the
Rev. Mr. Cunningham, Mr. Walter B. Wright; to Miss Pauline
Snyder. The happy bride is the lady to whom dame nature has
so niggardly denied the common appendage of a pair of arms,
and who has been exhibited in the Un►ted States as a curiosity
in consequence of that deformity. Madame fortune, blind 'as
she is said to be, has treated her more kindly, and bestowed a
lover and a husband to the armless lady, whilst many an arm
and lily 'hand is extended in vain by others, whose youth and
bloom the fickle goddess suffers to pine and fade away in hated
withering celibacy.

Strike! till the last arm'd foe expires;
Strike! for your altars and your fires;
Strike! for the green graves of your sires;
Grog and your native land !
The sailors have struck for higher wages. They held two
meetings esterday in the State House yard, and paraded the
streets with. martial music. As they passed the Exchange yes-
terday, they gave three cheers for "eighteen dollars per month
and no temperance ships." They appeared to derive peculiar
enjoyment from the frolic, and swung their rusty tarpaulins
around their heads with amazing energy. The carters are about
to strike. Their horses will, we presume, take part in the
movement.—Pail. Gaz.

arrived at this port yesterday in a very short passage from Rio
de Janeiro, having left that city on the 2d May. The editor
of the Atnerican is indebted to the politeness of Captain F. for

lowing information :—" The elections for regent were pro-.
gressing in the various colleges, and at the date of the Ist May,
Snr, Diego Feija had a Majority over the other candidates of
about S(X) votes. It was believed that Hollandi Caralcanti
would have a • large majority in Bahia and Pernambuco, .but.
that the election would finally result in favour of Snr. Feijo.,
All was politically quiet. Au expedition had sailed against
Para, under comerasul of-Cevntrindore -Ta7tor;ronsisting of a'
frigate, a corvette, and a schooner, carrying a new president,
who had orders to place the town under martial law. The
rains which had continued for six •weeks had done much mis-
chief to the coffee estates, and the roads in the interior had
teem rendered almost impassable. Stock of flour 36,000 bar-
rels, and dull; coffee 3N200 a 20700 per arr. according to qua-
lit7,.the stock not exceeding 40(Xt bags."
