A Quiet So6bath.-Yesterday our CITY
was as quiet as could be expected. and
less OF riot and disturbance than usual.
The ebay of rest" in Washington is not
generally the most peaceful during the
week. 1t is then that the riotous portion
OF our young men (mostly from other
cities) meet together; and though we
have Sunday law" whiskey is easily
obtained by them. If they meet in a
part of the city where the law is strictly
enforced, it Is not long walk to where
the grog-shop doors are open. and the
glasses jingling. Yesterday, we are glad
to say, there was but little of disorder,
and we hope it will be so hereafter.
Criminal Court.-This morning the
courtroom is we'll filled with persons
anxious to hear the evidence in the
Sasscer case.
MIR. James Barns, one of the Jurors
asked to be excused from serving on ac-
count of sickness. He was not sworn but
excused, and Mr.. D. II. Bestor sworn in
his place.
This is case calculated to attract at
tention throughout the District and
Maryland where the prisoner is well
known.

consists of the following gentlemen, viz
Samuel Lewis. John Scrivcner. James
Fullalove, William NJ. Shuster, George D.
Spencer, Peter F. Bacon, John Wagner,
W. c. Harper, James L. White, ". P.
Shedd, George G. King, and 0. II. Bester.
MesSrs Fendall (distrit Attorney and
W. r. Woodward. for the government;
and Messrs Radcliffe, Brady and Carlisle
for the defence.
Bathing.-It would be we'll for those
loung men who are in the habit of bathing
in the Branch, near the Railroad, on
Sundays, to discontinue the practice.
Decency requires that it should be stop
ped: the law imposes fine for such
behavior: and if grab is made upon
the crowd for exposing their persons in
that public place, not one can plead ig
norance of the law: and we sincerely hope
it will be executed strictly.
Harmoneons.-This band Of young men
give their first entertainment at Odd Eel
lows Hall, this evening. They offer an

this city. we trust they will be well en-
couraged by our citizens.
