Several days ago Count Sartigcs received through

would demand his passports Mr.. Marcy, Of course,
lisavowed all knowledge or responsibility concern

pleasant position by the author, who was gov,

OUTRAGEOUS ArrAIR.-Y esterday afternoon, Ow-
en- Quiglcy was killed under the following circum-
stances: Quiglcy passed three men, on Pennsyl-
vania avenue, at the intersection of 9th street,
who seemeu somewhat intoxicated In passing he
jostled against one of them, and instead Of apollo
giving shouted defantly Hurrah for Msgruder,"
when Essex, who was thus jostled, and who, by
the way, seemed to be the most intoxicated Of the
three, thereupon followed Quigley who turned
and squared off at him. As they met Essex gave
the first blow, knocking Quigley down; it ID said
that he followed up the assault by kicking and
beating the PROSTATE man, while other eye-wit-
nesses say that he seemed to be assisting his an
tagonist TO rise. However 1t seems that, as Quig-
ley fell his head struck 80 heavily upon the pave
ment that his skull was fractured He died in
about fifteen minutes after the fall
Essex was Immediately arrested by officer Du-
vail, who, with the assistance Of officers Wilson
and Parham, took him before Justice Hollings-
head. While In the immediate custody Of Mr..
Wilson, Essex managed to escape, and has not
been heard from since. He was pursued, but with
out success NJ
Officer Wilson is charged with being accessory
to the escape Of Essex, and warrant has been
issued for his arrest. The examination will come
off before Justice Goddard at o'clock this after
noon, when the facts in the case will be made ap-
parent. Until then we forbear comment
John Essex is q stonecutter by trade, and Is
very powerful young man. Every effort is now
being made to procure his arrest. The greatest
indignation is felt at the conduct of officer Wilson.

THrArRE--Last night very good house was
present at the benefit of the charming little Miss
Dsvln.
Tomorrow night j. G. Burnett, the author Of the
Three Guardsmen, receives abene6t He appears as
Porthos, in his own drama, and also in the funny
rlay Of Tom and Jerry. As comedian, he ranks
next to Jefferson, and Jefferson ranks next to
Burton. We hope he may have bumper.
The CApIroL.--Any one visiting the Capitol will
be struck with the great change that the halls of
legislation are undergoing. The carpets have been
removed and straw mating substituted in their
place. The greater part of the desks and chairs
are removed to the rotundo, and everybody seems
iptont on kicking up as much dust ~ possible.
It Is curious to watch the movements OF the few
remaining Congressman as they stray about like
snails In lobster shell, with desks or chairs only
intent on getting through with the form of meet
ing and adjourning. Why don't they adjourn over
and fit, following in the footsteps Of their illus
trious predecessors
GooD!--It will be seen, from the announcement
in our advertising columns, that the Messrs. r. B.
Hall, A. Goddard, j. w. Barneclo, +. NJ. Magru-
der, and r. G. Hyatt, dry-goods merchants, agree
to close their respective places Of business at Ia
o'clock every evening, except Saturday evening, so
as to allow themselves and employees some time
for recreation and relaxation from toll. We are
glad to see these gentlemen manifest so kindly q
feeling for their clerks, and know that the pub
lie win not be slow in testifying their appreciation
Of this course. We hope their example will be fol-
lowed by other merchants.
PrcNICs AND FEsrIvALs.--The English Lutheran
Sabbath School are enjoying themselves to-day, at
Arlington.
The Sunday School connected with Grace
Church, on the Island visit the White House Pa
vilion to-day. From their band of music and the
preparations for good dinner, we have reason to
suppose they win have good time.
The Strawberry Festival of the Capitol Hill NJ.
Episcopal Church, at the Columbia Engine House,
still continues. They had a fine time last night,
and win enjoy themselves equally tonight.
