CITY NTELLIGENCE.

One OF OUR REPORTERS AsSAULTED.-0n Saturday
about one o'clock, MIR. S. K Donavn one of the
Reporters attached to this office, was assaulted in
front of the Sun Iron Building, by noted bully
and rutfian, named Tobe Madison, formerly con-
stable, and the ring leader in the attack made upon
office in August last MIR. Donavin, who was
standing in front of the Sun office at the time, was
called aside by Madison, who charged him with
quitting his name in the paper and attempted to
strike him. Mr.. DOnavin warded off the blow, and
Madison thrust his hand into his pocket, as if to
draw weapon, declaring, at the time, his
intention of "cutting out" portion of Mr. ID s in
testines-which, however, he did not do, but walk
ed off shortly before the arrival of a policeman
Whether Madison was arrested or not, we do not
know; nor, indeed he has never been punished
for his participation in the attack upon our Office
when he attempted to shoot book keeper, do we
suppose that it makes much difference. On the
contrary, prepared to join with "'Tobe" in a
card of thanks to AIR. Whitney, that such useful
member of society still enjoys his liberty, and the
opportunity of assaultng peaceful citizens, in the
public Streets
