A,riral of a Pyisssey.-Onicer Seal arrived in
this city by the Northern train yesterday
morning, having in charge George Wilson
alias Penly. who had been arrested IN wash
charged herewith stabbing William 0ibltn on
the 10Th Of May. As our readers remem Der,
three persons were implicated In the ARRAY,
could identify either Of them. and when, at
length, 0aylOrd's own sta tement implicated
him and he was arrested, it was ascertained
that the other two had taken the alarm and
fed the city, for parts unknown. With that
untiring industry ard perseverance, which
characterizes the man in sill his public acts,
officer Seal set 70 work to discover the parties.
and by telegraphing, writing and inQuiring,
will to-day have them before the Mayor for
examination.
Sfsbbing the Wasehn,ss.-Joseph N. Gill and
James S. Vanhorn were before the Mayor last
Saturday, to answer the charge OF staoblng
watchmen James X. Grafton and James H.
Davis, and Granville Monteli, on the night OF
The LIST inst; but as one OF the witnesses was
absent, the investigation was postponed until
Thursday next. Mr.. Grafton has SO far re-
covered from his serious injury as to be able
to sit up, and his physician. Dr. Bolton, thinks
he may be BILE TO attend Court at the time de-
signated. The stab he received was most
dangerous one, and the wonder is that he had
not been instantly killed. Mr.. Davis was not
dangerously wounded, the knife striking his
breast bone; and Montell's cut was but super.
flciai, because of the instrument striking his
watch.

ern delegates from the National Democratic
Convention, and the organization OF q SOUTH
ern Convention, and they were invited 70 join
them; but most of the delegat ties here preferred
remaining. At6 O'Clock in the afternoon, the
Convention met AT Metropolitan Hall, and ad-
journed until II O'Clock To-day. What will be
done when they meet we are unaoie TO say,
but the general impression Is, that they Will
r2tify the action OF their Southern friends,
and then adjourn sine die.
afternoon, and if the Committee on the Fire
Department is prepared to report favorabiy, it
is to be hoped that an order will be made to
purchase for the city the steam fire engine now
being completed by Ettinger Il Edmond, of
Richmond. The machine Manufactured for
the Russian government by these gentlemen,
was given a trial in Philadelphia, rs it passed
through that city, and notwithstanding the
fact that there are twenty similar machines in
that place, the superintendent certifies that
the Richmond engine is the very best of its
size he ever saw. The machine now being
constructed Is precisely similar in pattern and
capacity to the one made for Russia, and the
City Council ought to purchase it BY all means
patented by Mr.. John j. Fry. are far superior
10 the ones now in use in this city, and will
no doubt supersede them entirely. The new
lamp only costs about one halt as much as the
old Ones gives double the amount of light, is
much neater in appearance, and much easier
cleaned. II the city adopts them tor her gas

charged with feloniOusly stabbing and wound
ing VIM. 0iblin, on the night Of the Goth of
May, were again before the Mayor, to con-
ciude their investigation, commenced on Fri
day. Without hearing other argument or
witnesses, the case was adjourned until to-
day. when 1t Is expected that the third party
to the affair-GeOrge Wilson alias Penby-will
be here, he having been arrested in Washing
ton, and officer Seal having been dispatched to
bring him back.
Hastings JMdge.-The election Of Judge of
the Hastings Court will take place tomorrow,
and as the office is one Of great importance to
the city, every business man should sec that
his vote is cast for the most suitable man, at
an early hour in the morning. The polls in
each of the three wards will open at sunrise,
twenty-one years OF age, who has resided in
the State OF Virginia two years, and in the
city of Richmond one year preceding the cleo
ton, has right to say at the polls who he
prefers for Judge.

dealers, have been summoned before the Mayor
to show cause why they should not be fined
for permitting their drivers to blow tin horns
in the street. Tho ice men say they are COM
PEELED to use some signal by which to inform
their customers Of their arrival at their doors,
or they would not be able to serve them, and
the Council say they shall not blow tin horns.
How the difficulty will be arranged, remains
TO be seen.
