If men knew before, what was to follow after

We believe, and have good reasons for our belief
that II the ingratitude of the administration to-
wards faithful officer and influential citizen ofhis
State, had been suspected-the State Of Pennsyl-

MoRr RowpYIsM. -On Thursday night last, the
Seventh Ward, in the immediate vicinity of
Four-and-a-haf and d streets, was the scene of a
series of rascalities perpetrated by q gang OF
fifteen of our g city regulators" who commenced
about IL O'Clock to announce their presence by
firing pistols and making dabolical noises, to the
alarm Of the citizens living Whereabouts. Not
content with disturbing the rest of the citizens,
they proceeded TO the apothccary shop of Mr..
Fill and threw large stones through the windows,
which, lodging among the glass bottles and show
cases, caused no little damage. They then pro-
ceeded across 10 the opposite corner, where they
tore down the large new sign Of Mr.. B. +. Clarke,
wood merchant, and split il into fragments.
These acts Of vandalism committed, they went 10
the house Of q respectable family living near by,
where q marriage had taken place during the
evening, and attempted TO force an entrance, and
were only frightened Off by the representation
ly the lady Of the house that the family were sick
with contagious disease. After creating great
disturbance here, they assaulted hack driver
and caused his horses to run away, doing consid
cradle damage. Of Saturday
