The MONUMENT CoNrRovERsY.-we publish.
to-day, in the Stars advertising columns another
card from Mr.. Alice. When we consider all the
circumstances Of the recent onslaught on him by
combination in the Board apparently to blast
his reputation, we cannot but admire Mr.. AtLee's
mdgnanimity.
The resolution of Mr.. Bradley for the appoint
ment OF an impartial Committee of Investigations
laid over until the next regular meeting of Tues
day, the 9TH proximo, may, If acted upon, propi-
tiate, in some degree, an indignant public epin-
ion.
If, however, the consideration thereof should
be further postponed, on the expected develop
mentS avoided by any parliamentary trick of 1.-The
Board, - we think that Mr.. Alice should, with
out hesitation, proceed to an calculation Of the
mysteries.
UNITED STATES POLICE REPORTS sfor,
Justice Donn.-Oficer Bayless arrested Harriet
Ann Dorsey, cOlored, under the charge Of having
committed an assault and battery on a woman of
the same color named Mary Ann Turner. The
assault took place in the market house at mig hit
while marketing, and was made on her by de-
PENDANT and another female who was in her COM
pany. The police Immediately went in search of
the assaulting party, but in the darkness of the
night they eluded pursuit, but defendant was
subsequently, arrested by Officer Bayless and car
rted before the Justice, who after an examina-
ton Of the case required her to give security in

SHOOTING CASE AT THE PARk.-Last night
another affair of serious character occurred near
the Park, in which two persons, Greenberry Sfb-
ley and young man named Gladmon, were shot
by man named James Johnson. Sibley was
shot in the arm. Gladmon received three balls
In his body, and we learn to-day that his recOve-
ry is very doubtful. The affair appears to have
originated in fight near the Park after which
the crowd, passing along the road, stoned John
sons house, and he fired from the house upon
them. James Johnson was arrested this morning
by Officer Ii. y. Watson and taken before Justice
Goddard, who held him to bail in S5OO, for fur
ther hearing at O'Clock to- morrow.
