TIE DEATH OF YOU'VE THRooP. The fol.
lowing is an extract from the article in the
Baltimore Clipper of Tuesday last which de-
volved on Us what we regarded to be q duty to
criticise 1t as it was criticised on tho same
day in the Star:
Death of Young Thyoop Nathan II.
ThrooP, the victim Of a depraved and big
gotted mob Of Irish, died at the residence OF
omcer James Morgan, No IS Ross street, at
quarter past eight O'Clock Yesterday morning
IL viii be recollected that this young man, but
little over nineteen years Of age, was standing
quietly in the neighborhood Of Mount Vernon
Place on election day, when the Irish, with
all the fury of their illiterate and demon
hearted race, rushed up the street, and find
ing nothing moro formidable to heap their
vengeance upon, one of them fired at him,
and he fell wounded in the leg Whilst in
this helpless conditions condition which
would excite the commisseration Of any man
with the least spark Of human kindness in his
breast-another Irishman approached, and,
placing his musket within few feet of him,
fired slug into his brain, and, as he fell over
upon the pavement, the Irishman pierced him
through the arm with the bayonet attached to
his musket, and rifled his pockets of all the
money they contained. There were five bull
ie IN different parts of his body. 1t seems
zoo shocking for contemplation. A young and
promising American shot down in the streets
OF his country by a band of transported and
beggarly foreigners, and whilst gasping from
the effects Of his fatal wounds to be robbed
This murder is almost without a parallel in

This article, embraced as will be perceived,
sweeping and unjusti6able charges against a

as well as false statements as to the circum-

CelVod his death wound
This morning, We are informed by a citizen
OF well known character and deserved influ-
ence, that the unfortunate youth had for the
last TWO years been almost Immediately under
his eye, and had given, so far as he could per.
celve, every promise Of making useful citi-
1en' Notwithstanding his more youthful alb
berations. We publish the fact with more
true pleasure than We can express, because
though impelled by what we thought to be a
grave duty to the public involved on US, our
sympathy with the parents of the deceased
was and is as active and sincere as that of an v
man In this community.
we deplore that the unfortun ate youth failed
to be guided by what we learn to have been
the earnest advice of his elder brother given
on the morning of the sad affair, to keep away
from the scene of the contest.
FAMILY JARs.-Y esterday, a couple of good
looking young married ladies went before JUS

other. One was called to give evidence, when
both began talking so fast that the Justice

Justice and constable both demanded order.

The case was heard at last, and it appeared
that the difficulty arose from some wood having
been placed in position by one of the women
to raise the ire Of the husband of the other

the hair and called her a highly Improper
name This was an assault in the eye of the
law, and the Justice, after expressing a hope
that they would be able to settle their little
difficulties in future with less trouble. held the
accused to security to keep the peace
NATIONAL THEATRE-A more satisfactory
performance than that of the Keene company
at the National last night cannot well he
imagined. We regret that the unprecedented
political excitement prevailing last night, to-
gether with the expected arrival of the Pres.
ldent, caused a thinner house than the merits
OF the company deserved
Tonight, another excellent bill is offered.

CENTRE MARKET.-The supply in the mar
ket this morning was smaller than usual, but
there was no change in prices worth mention
ing The weather was cool, and the country
dealers were occupying rather unpleasant po-
sitions.
WATCH RErURNs.-During the night the
cells were occupied by dodgers, most of them
from abroad. There is but little disturbance
at night and the Auxiliary Guards report the
city unusually quiet.
