 Murder-At the Ward Election on Friday last, WILLIAM PERRY, while standing peace ably near the polls in Locust Ward, was sav- agrly and inhumanly murdered by some vil. lain, who has not yet been discovered, who stabbed him through the body with a sword cane or dirk, and ran into an adjoining tav- crn. The wounded man was taken into the drug store of Mr. Ashton, corner of Eleventh and Locust streets, where the wound was dressed by Dr.. R. M. Huston, and every pos-
 
 ceased was an orderly, inotfensive man, a car. penter by trade.-PhitadeiphiG paper.
 Assassination.-A large portion of our read CTS will have heard of the death of Wm. Per. ", before this article reaches their eye his funeral took place yesterday, and We Wnder- stand very large cOncourse of people atteud- ed it.
 The Mayor of the city has offered reward of i've hundred dollars for the detection of the assassin; we also understand that he has addressed letter to the Governor, requesting Aim to issue his procla,natioa for ihe appre- hensi0n of the nUvderer.
 The death of this young man has been seiz. ed Opon by political party as an occasiun to excite public indignation against their oppo. nents. We do not know tu which party he belonged, though. if what we hear be true, he certainly did not act with the party which has publicly celebrated his funeral one thing, however. is certain, his death was caused by the illegal and riotous conduct of the party finding themselves in a minority on the curb stone, who took possession of the usual place of holding the election, and held it in defiance of the civil authority. Had the laws and civ Il officers been respected and Obeyed, the de. ceased, who by the way took no part in the fray, would at this time have been living.

 On an examination Hf the body by Doctors 1 Huston and Ranixipger, it appeared that sOne ] sharp pointed instrument had entered the fore part Of the thigh, V ounding the great ar- tery. and extending to the lower part Of the abdomen. The above particulars are publish l ca under sense of duty, and that a true knowledge Of the case may have tendency l to prevent the iIl effects of misrepresenta taiiOn l upon the mind. already much excited as re- spectS this horrible outrage.
