Or nve hundred persons assembled around in
groups In front Of the Hall, most of them merch.
ants and others resident In the vicinity Every
thing was as quiet as at any similar assembsge
ever Witnessed just In front of where the Marines
were quartered, an old soldier, who had lost his
right arm in the Mexican war, was expatiating TO
CROWD OF about twenty-five boys and men upon his
services In Mexico, and comparing them with
those OF the Marines. Il was standing about thirty
or forty feet off AZ the time, and somewhat elevated
above this group, and consequently could distin-
guish everything that occurred. AT this moment
perceived Mayor Magruder, Marshal Hoover and
deputy Marshal Philips move into this group, and
apparently demonstrate with the man about the
noise he was making, Che had very loud voice. J
moved toward them to hear what they had to
say TO him, and as did 80, he. made the remark
quite audibly. that If he was doing ANYTHING
wrong he was sorry for it, and would say nothing
more"
just as reached the group the Mayor passed
by me and assembled the steps, where the Marines
were quailered and addressed the people to the
effect that IL they did not instantly dispense he
would order "fhe Marines TO fire into you."-
This solemnly assert to be the truth, the whole
truth, and nothing but the truth and moreover
there was no other kind OF disturba zee in or near
the neighbOrhood II the man was creating any
disturbance, one policeman would have been
abundantly sufficient to arrest him. He had but
one arm, and that the left one. This occurred in
front the Hall the polling you will recollect was
on the side of the building. In regard to the cir
cumstances of the earlier part of the day, know

known to themselves, have thought proper to Ig-

Loco Foco Tyranny Persecution Of Americans
Prescription perfected into System - Its
agencies and Mode OF Operation.
Mr.. EDIToR 1t is my purpose to furnish series
Of communications for The american for the pur-
pose of placing before the people Of this country
the condition Of those citizens Of the city of
Washington who hold the doctrine that Ameri.
cans ought TO rule their native land also, 10
expose the fierce hatred TO this doctrine and its
advocates which is exhibited by the party in
power. The prescription and persecution of Amer
lean mechanics and laborors at the numerous pub.
lie works in this city, and the consequent destitu.
ton and distress Of those who depend oil their Ia
Dor for their daily bread will be treated some
what in detail TIE great perfection to which the
system Of prescription has, in these latter days,
been brought, will be clearly exempli6ed and the
perfect working Of the system by which indvid
uals suspected Of entertaining American sent
ments are sought out and their heads drought
to the block" will be illustrated BY numerous thrill
Ing examples.
These topics, perhsps, with several others Of
kindred bearing, 1t Is my purpose TO make the
subject ofcomment, In order that the country may
clearly understand the policy of crushing out"
Americans, which was iusugursted by the late Ad
mnistration, and which, in state of perfection,
is being vigorously carried out by the present AID
mnistration
We desire, at the outset, TO declare distinctly
and emphatcally, that we cherish no feelings Of
enmity towards people of foreign birth who come
to this country for the purpose of improving their
condition Ivy honest industry, as many of them do
TO such we say from our hearts, come, and you
shall be welcome. The road to wealth is open

property we will protect; aud here you shall en-.
JOY your own religious opinions and modes of wor.

matter between each individual and his Creator,
an inherent right with which no human being has
any right to interfere and however widely your
religious creeds and modes Of worship NAV differ
from ours, still we win see that you have full lib.
erty and protection in the enjoyment and practice
of them, so long as you do not encroach upon the
same rights in others, Our schools are open to

FATAL ACCIDENT.--Another of those distressing
accidents, resulting from the careless handling Of
fire arms. took place last week, by which an esti
Unable young man was instantly hurried to another
world
About six o'clock on, Monday evening last,
VIM. Richardson, a printer nephew of Mr..
VIM. Carey Jones-went to the room of his
friend Albert Bargie, and in sport picked up a
revolver, knife, and single-barreled pistol, and
hourishing them in the air advanced upon Mr..
Bar gle reciting some mock heroic verses from one
of the poets He elevated the revolver in the
direction Of Mr.. B. who attempted to get hold OF
it, and in 30 doing the pistol was accidentally ex,
poded, the ball taking effect in Richardson's
stomach, and in less than half an hour he was a
corpse.
These facts We're stated before Justice Dom by
Mr.. A. G. Watkins who was present at the time
The most perfect good feeling existed between the
two young men, as was proven by the concurrent
testimony Of Mr.. Watkins, Messrs. Charles T..
Dimitry and p B. Foster.
The young men had made arrangements tc
lodge at Mr.. Fills in order that they might be
frequently together, and Mr.. Richardson had that
afternoon left his former residence to occupy II
room at Mr. Fills.
Mr. Bargie appeared to be greatly distressed by
the calamity, and anxiously awaited an examina-
ton He was waited on by Messrs. Ward ard
Sessford of the Auxiliary Guard, and went WITH
them TO the central guard house. where the exam
nation was held by Justice Donn-W. LenoX,
ESQ.,, appearing for Mr.. Bargie The statements
of the gentlemen named, two Of whom (Messrs
Watkins and Dimitry) were in the room at the
time proved TINT the death was the result OF &c
cident; and the Justice released Mr.. Bargie OF
bis own recogniznnce to appear at any future ex
animation, il one should be deemed necessary

And now, all these privileges and blessings are
yours, enjoy them and be prosperous and happy.
One right, however, wa reserve to Ourselves. 1t
is not yours. 1t belongs to us. Our forefathers
purchased il at great price, and bequeatIed the
precious inheritance to us, their children The
iacome yon shall share equally with u.s. but the
Whole management Of the estate acc wiH attend to
that business you must not NEEDLE with. 1t is
something which you do not understand; and
which cannot be learned without much time and
study. The future welfare of our children and
your children will be best promoted by keeping
the management in the hands of those who have
been brought up and trained to the business. So
you see il is for your good, and the good of your
children as well ours, that you leave this matter
altogether to us.
In short, We hold that il is both right, and for
the common good OF all, that America should be
governed by Americans. And for the purpose Of
carrying out this principle, it is not proposed to
interfere with the suffrage of those persons of for
eign birth, who, under existing laws have had
that right conferred upon them, but we maintain
that those not already naturalized should serve
before they can vote, an apprenticeship Of twenty
one years. VINDEX
