From the Baltimore American.
The Revolution In France.

1t would be to indulge in vague CON
lectures to attempt to prognoshcate the u4-
innate result of Louis NAPoLEoS'B bold
usurpation in France. The daring char
aclcr of the act will no doubt commend it
to the admiration of the French people,
who, with all their love of liberty, are
subject to the fascination Of power reso-
luteIy welded and surrounded with eclot.
The extension of the right of suffrage
TO the whole people by President BoNA-
Parties Proclamation may have the effect
of confusing the issue which otherwise
would have been distinct between the ad-
herents of LOUIS NAPoLEo. on the one
hand and the democratic and socialist
parties on the other. The President
himself claims to rule ia the name OF the
people, and may declare himself as good
a democrat as any one. But the hostile
elements are powerful in France, and now
that the matter has came to an arbitrament
of force, the adversaries of the President
will have 10 make up their minds to de-
csiye struggle. They have the means
no doubt of sharp conflict and perhaps
a protracted one.
But we need not apprehcnd in France
itself, we think, the recurrence of any OF
those shocking excesses which have at
tended revolutions and civil wars heretofore
in that country and in other parts OF
Europe. There is no royalty with lis
interviewer aflinities to be uprooted-as
will be the case in Germany, Italy and
Hungary, when the people will rise
apainst their hereditary rulers there. We
NAV look, however, by every arrival from
Europe to hear Of interesting events
The first chapter of new volume in the
history of European affairs has opened
who can venture to judge in advance OF
the closing one Time only can disclose.

The more reflect upon the nomination of this
gentleman tor the first office OF the Commonwealth
the more satifed we are with it. He is in every way
qualified to fill wlthcred to himself and TO the State
the high seat to which the Wings have determined he
shall be elevated and we look forward the progress
OF the canvass, now Just commencing, with the most
perfect confidence that lac will prove 10 the people that
the selection by the Convention of his name 10 head the
Wing State Ticket truly wise one, Mr.. Sum
mels has long been known OF the ablest men
Virginia. His powers, both thinker and a spea-
ker, are OF the first order His mind, naturally strong
Is richly stored with the treasures OF study and of ex-
perence, end therefore, he is thoroughly prepared 10
take the field the standafd-beare of the Wings In
the approaching gubernatorlal contest, invested as it
Is with unusual interest, by the circumstance of its
being the tlrs under the constitutions IN which
the people at large will be called the ballot box
We think that the hands of the Democratic candidate
will be full of work through the whole campaign and
that he will have to strain all his nerves to keep him
self alongside of his eloquent competitor IN the dis
cussions which to come off between them. Mr.
Summers, besides the prestige of his wide reputation
is the advocate of good cause. He is the advocate
OF principles and measures which tend directly to
strengthen and to improve all the solid interests of the
country. He is the friend of popular rights, as defn
ed and regulated by the fundamental law of our Gov
eminent. He is the friend of policv which takes in
the true welfare of the people, and the best me hods
OF securing and promoting it. More than all this he
is the friend of the UNION, and stands upon the plat

The "doings" at the Mayors Court nowadays are
scarcely worthy of being recorded. Rows amongst
free negroes, an occaso nal larceny by slave, to-
gether with the usual number of drunken white loaf
ers constitute about the total of the "dongs" be-
fore his Ilonours tribunal, Now, how is this? Has
crime in the city decreased or are the officers of Po-
ice less vgilant than formerly? One or the other of
these causes have certainly operated TO produce this
suit. The officers, know, have not been remiss in
the performance of their duty. Their number has been
increased during the year, and the finest spirit anmates
both the day and night police We incline, then, to
the opinion, that there has been "a marked dimnution
in crime.
On Friday last, only one prisoner was brought
before the Mayor; and this one proved to be a
middle aged white woman named Jlne Blackburn.
AS she was an old offender against the laws OF Tenn
perance, his Honour surmsed the nature of her Of
fence and as she made her appearance
asked her if she had been getting drunk again 3
Now, according to James account it somehow hap
PENS that she drinks too much; she generally
becomes fatigued, and as soon as she sits down to
rest, one of the i'll mannerly Charles pouaces upon
her and declares she is too drunk to walk That's
the way Jane says she gets in the cage so often The
Mayor agreed to release her under promise that she
would leave town.
On Saturday, also, only one prisoner made his ap-
pearance. He turned out to be trfng free negro,
calling himself Peter Daniel Smith, and the charge
against him was, assaung and beating Peter Grabb,
white man, In Cary street, on Friday last. As the
assault appesred to be aggravated one Peter DAN
lei Smith sent below for correction

CITY az u AIRS.

ADMINISTRATIONS half past II o'clock Yesterday.
morning. horrible murder was committed in Broad
street Detwee' Sd and 4h streets. WI Cudpp, a
Lad about 10 years OF age, stabbed Richard A. Thorn
as, youth aged about l6 The wound was ipffict
ed with large dirk knife, the blade of which, we
learn, passed into the stomach of the unfortunate
youth, producing death in about thirty minutes
Inc causes which led 10 this melancholy tragedy are
sad to be briefly these: Cudipp (who is represented
as being most viciousIy disposed lad) attended
me lhea'Fe Saturday night, and during the
evening procured couple of eggs, one of which
he threw from the second tier of boxes into the
PITT striking young Thomas upon the head
Bystanders, who witnessed the act give it as their
opinion that he aimed to strike some one with the egg
The officers, we sorry hear failed to eject Cud
llpp from the house. Yesterday morning, as Thomas
was walking up Broad street in company with
several acq1llntancas, hs met Cndpp at the
corner OF Broad and 4h streets, and asked if he
purposed striking him with The egg the previous eve
nlng. Cudhpp said he did not; that another bov
knocked 1t out OF his hand, &c, Some words eusued,
when one OF the lads in company wit h Thomas at
tempted to seize dipp, but he euded the effort and
ran into house close by, occupied by his father
Cudlpps mother then out to learn the nature of
the difficulty, and whilst engaged in rather an excited
cooquy with Thomas, CudIipp rushed in between them
with dirk knife and stabbed tn, in the abdomen,
from the eff els of which he died IN half an hour He
tel upon the side walk, but it'll the assistance of
one OF his compnnions and walked to his boarding
house on Marshall street, about square from the
place where he received the wound. His strength
tailed, however, as he reached the house. and he sank
down inthe porch. He was conveyed TO a room, and
a messenger despatched for a physician Dr. Beae
promptly answered the summons of the messenger,
but on seeing the young man he pronounced him dy-
ing lie endeayoured, however, to revive him by ad-
mlnstering stimuants but vitality was at too low an
ebb, and he expired shortly after the Doctors arri
val.
Coroner Wicker held an inquest over the body du.
ring the evening. the verdict of the jury being that
the deceased had come to his death by stab mali
clously and feloniousy inflicted by the hand of VIM.
Cudhpp, the Coroner issued his warrant for the ar.
rest OF the murderer.
Up to late hour last evening the murderer had
not beer arrested, and the report current that he
had fed the city shortly after committing the deed.
Thomas is represented by those who knew him, to
have been amiabe gentle and inofensive in DISPOSE
ton. Cudpp is, we learn, native of Baltimore, his
parents having within the past year removed to this
CITY,
