to return to Paris. But things had changed. He

The american calls upon the city press TO aid it
Of rival cities, of the condition of affairs here 1t
gives great pleasure to be able to pronounce the
telegram transmitted to the Philadelphia Ledger,
to the effect that reporter of THE EXCHANGE
had been fired at on Thursday night, an unmit =
gated canard. There was nothing whatever to lead
to the supposition that any body in particular was
aimed at by the man who discharged the pistol.
In this instance, however, as in most others in
which the comments of the journals of other cities
have been complained Of the information on which
they have been based has been derived from tele-
grams transmitted from Baltimore. We see no
cause, therefore, to charge the press of Philade-
pha or New York with disposition to exagger-
ate the evils existing among US. On the contrary,
it has manifested, and we are disposed to give it
credit for sincere interest in the suppression of
the lawlessness here, which, appearing in any
quarter of our common country, reflects disgrace
upon all who live under American institutions.
We have seen no attempt, on the part of respect
and we have no evidence that the standard of
journalism elsewhere is lower than ours That a
free prees i'll freely comment upon matters which it
has the best reason to suppose are true. is not
only to be expected bat to be desired. Let the
blame then, where there is cause for blame. fall

The above extract is taken from the speech of the
Honorable Henry Winter Davis, delivered by him
at the hall of the Maryland Institute, when accent
ing the nomination for Congress, which nomination
was made, as reported by the daily papers, at the
recent Convention, by Gregory Barrett, ESQ.,, of
this city.
The peaceful citizens of Baltnore-mechanics
manufacturers merchants, &C., are extremely de,
sirous to be made aware of the nature of the "dan-
gers by which they are beset." Mr.. Davis has
taken upon himself to sound the alarm, and it would
become him as public man to explain the charac-
ter of the terrors with which he would brighten

fitness for the place to which he asoires. Itinter-
ests him, therefore, if they are false to let it be
shown, before the election. If they are true, it
interests the public TO have their truth established
before the election likewise. Now, the suit which
Mr.. WHITNEY has brought, is original to the Sep
TENDER term of the Superior Court, and cannot be
tried, IN ordinary course, for year, certainly,
at the earliest not before January. Until January

What we propose, is, that our neighbors should
tender to Mr.. WHITNEY, and that Mr.. WHITNEY
should consent to hearing of the case, at once,
before the election day, By agreement this is
perfectly easy and such an agreement would
bring the matter to head at once No enemy of
The american will then venture to say, that it
shrank from maintaining the truth of its editorial
assertions. No enemy of Mr.. WHITNEY will then
be able to hint that he brought the suit merely to
produce a political effect, and in order to be
able to say the hustngs and to his friends that
he had challenged legal proof of very damaging
accusation. As the whole official conduct of Mr.
WHITNEY will, of course be brought up by the
Defence on the trial, for the purpose of showing
the good faith of our neighbors, in making the
charge and the amount of damage which Mr.
WHITNEY's character could sustain from 1.-THE
result will be that the public will have a fair and
perfect opportunity of learning, judicially, how
near Mr.. WHITNEY approaches to fitness for the re-
sponsible and vitality important office to which he
asks them again to raise him. Being convinced
that The American could not more effectually
serve the good cause in which we are laboring
together, at this time than by promoting just such
an investigation, we make the suggestion, in per-
fectgood faith, and commend it respectfully to our
neighbors and their learned counsel Mr.. WHIT
NEY's long and labored card of defence, in The
Patriot of Saturday, asserts state of facts which
he will no doubt be anxious to rove, still more
authoritatively than by his own assertion and a
certificate of good character from Mr.. PINKNEY,
and we therefore trust that, on his side likewise
our suggestion will be met with favor.

Editors Baltimore Exchange:
L desire to make known, through your journal .
an evil which may arise in the construction of the
present new water works. To some, though very
few, the fact is known that the present place Of
forming the lake for the first reception of water
has been materially changed from the original in
tention of the Water Board and the present advice
of the consulting Engineer, Mr.. Slade and the
Chief Engineer. Mr.. Chas. P. Manning. 1t was
intended originally to remove or cover up all veg
etabe matter lying in the bottom of the swamp
within the compass of the lake, a conclusion or ar
rangement much required, and which seemed to
give general satisfaction to persons residing on the
margin or contiguous to said lake. A subsequent
determination, upon the part of the new Board re-
solved that expedient an unnecessary cost. When
we look at the willingness of the community to nav
amply for a substantial, healthful and beneficial
work to satisfy their wants, we astonished at
the parsimonious conduct of the Water Board
tits known fact and has recently been fully
and indisputaby exemplifed that regetation is OBJ
noXious to water more especially standing water.
In the case OF the croton water in New York it
his been ascertained that the noxious taste and
smell of the water wholly attributable to
vegetation deposited within the Reservoir sim
liar arose in Cincinnati occasoned by the veg
etabe deposits from the Ohio. In our case it is pro-
posed to turn in water upon the bottom of our lake
which has in some places six feet of vegetable matter
now in a state of decomposition, one place more
particularly than the rest is st emphatically out
rageous and should not be tolerated | refer to
Tue ioWei emu vi the lake near the Relay House on
the Northern Central Rail way. The covering up of
this had been commenced, but owing to the econo-
my of our otherwise judicious Board it has been
abandoned, because the cost involved a few hun
dreds of dollars.
The difficulty of bad water will not only arise if
the present course is pursued, but the city will be
liable to damages from persons owning property
near the lake. Vegetation will produce malaria
which, in time, will produce sickness, and make
the property worthless which otherwise must be
of very considerable value. 10 some few alone this
matter is known, to others it should be known that
steps may be taken to remedy this mistaken policy
of our Water Board.

DREADFUL SHOOTING AFFAIR AT COMPRO
MISE


MISE.
We are informed BY MIR. Fl. Grove, of Peoria,
ILL.,, passenger by the j. H. Dickev, which ar.
rived yesterday from st. Louis, that he witnessed
called Compromise. The circumstances of this
heartrendng affair, related to us, are as follows:
As the Dickey landed at Compromise to put off the
mail, the Postmaster of that place, Mr. Spar, ap-
preached the mail agent, who had not made the two
or three last trips, and said to him: owe have
had some bloody times here of late and we have
to go prepared" lat the same time throwing
back his coat and exhibiting arevover). "Why ?'
says the agent Because our country is infested
by lot of thieves, such this man." pointing to
man close by named Shultz, who was the only
one at the levee previous to the landing of the
Dckey besides the Postmaster)
Shultz then remarked that he was a most infa-
nous liar, and destitute of every principle of a
gentleman. Whereupon the Post master placed
his hand his pistol as if in the act of drawing it,
when Shultz shot Mr. Spar in the left side of his
abdomen. Shultz then retreated at a rapid pace
about thirty feet, when Spar fired four shots at
him in rapid succession, but without effect. Sparr
then took deliberate aim at him across a stump,
but his pistol missed. Shultz Immediately rushed
back at Spar and shot him twice more through
his body Then they had hand to hand encoun-
ter, Shultz falling under, and Spar pounding him
about the head with his pistol. Presently a third
party came up with a double barrel shotgun to
shoot Shultz through the head, but through the
advice of the agent and others he did not. Spar
soon became SO weak lnat SnultZ threw MIN oil,
and on his (Shuliz) rising he was struck a power
full blow over the head with the gun, which appear
ed to craze him, and he instantly into the river
up to his shoulders, and on his looking back and
seeing the gun leveled at him, he lodged his head
under the water, holding it there as long as he
could without stranglng, and his looking up and
seeing the gun pointing at him he held it again I'M
der water, and this process repeated till he
drowned. The Postmaster alive when our in
formant left, but it was thought he could not
cover.
