The WAY Our CITIZENS ARE PROTECTED
The hours which printers keep, who are en-
ployed on morning paper, are not such as
are, desirable in well-regulated families. In
fact, their labor runs till one or two o'clock
in the mornings time when, according to
the old saying, all honest people ought to be
in bed, The demands of the public stomach
for late news have, however, excused this
regular irregularity in printers habits, and
it has usually been held to be more of a hard
ship than crime OF immortality.
Not so, however, under our present Mayors
police, who, having purified the city from
every thing else that is dangerous to society
or offensive to morals, have taken to dogging
the printers on their way home in the morn
ing, assuming that the unreasonable hour
alone made a primd .fdcie case for the watch
house. ahgHe TvEG uH.Hfs fr
Some printers, employed on two morning
papers, were on their way home on Friday
morning, over the canal, when they were
roughly seized by the neck by four watch

NelnncheIy Homicide on EIm-street---A
United States Com missioner Shot Through
the Heaft. L. feff - ~.
We are called upon this morning to relate
one of the saddest homicides that has occur
red u our city for many years. The partic-
ulars SO far as We have been able to ascertain
them, are as follows;
Last evening, about eight o'clock, United
States Commissioner Charles G. Browne called
nc the residence of George j. Caldwell, No.
1871 Elm-street, and was met at the door by
that gentleman, who informed him that he
did not desire any conversation with him and
turned to pass through the hall and go up
stairs.
Mr.. Browne followed rapidly and closely,
until Mr.. O. reached his bedroom, which he
entered, and afterward closed the door.
Here some words passed between the parties,
C.telling b. to come no farther, and b. say
ing that he must enter.
Finally, the door was opened by Mr.. b.,
who halfforcibly entered the room, when
Mr.. Caldwell drew a pistol and fired, the
contents taking effect in the right side OF
Mr.. b., between the sixth and seventh ribs,
passing, we presume, through the right lung
and into the heart.
A scuffie then ensued between the parties
during which Mr.. b. was thrown upon the
bed. Fearing that the wound was danger
Gus, Mr.. @. rushed out of the house, and
meeting friend, told him the circumstances
and accompanied him to the Office of Dr.
Blsckman, who Immediately visited the
wounded man.
| Although the physician reached the resi-.
dence of Mr.. Caldwell within fifteen minutes
after the wound had been inflicted, he was
too late to render Mr.. Browne any service
and just in time TO see his patient die.
Mr.. Caldwell Immediately went to tn,
1lammond-street Ststion-house and gave
himself into the custody of the officers. NJ
one happened to be in the house at the tim,
| OF this unfortunate occurrence save the partie,
interested; Mr.. Caldwell's wife and daughter
we believe, having visited neighbor for tn,
purpose of spending the evening.
Mr.. Caldwell is, we believe book-keeper il
| the auction-house of Alfred Wood, on Pearl
street, between Main and Walnut, and /
highly respected by all who know him. |
is said that some previous business relation
between him ana the deceased caused tn
visit he received last night, but what the,
were we can not tell.
The deceased was formerly resident G
Lockport, N, Y; almost twenty-eight year
of age; young and promising lawyer, an
had recently been appointed United State
Commissioner Both the parties in this me-
ancholy transaction are well-known an
highly esteemed, and the affair, both as
regards the living and the dead, will b
deeply regretted.
Coroner Carey was called upon to hold a
inquest upon the body, but it was postponed
and will probably take place this morning.
1t will readily be imagined that som
previous circumstances rendered the partiC
inimical, and these viii be probably deve
oped to-day, until which time we draw th
curtain upon this extremely sad and melar
choly tragedy.

SERIOUS sAFFRAY--MAN SEVERELY CUTwrrH
CHIsEL.--A couple of parties named James
Ashley and Edward Hutchins, both work
men In Litherbury's ship-yard, became in
volved in difficulty, day before yesterday,
when the former was very seriously wounded
by chisel, which was thrown at him by the
latter. A feud has existed between them for
some time and something occurred to revive
this old bitterness Of feeling, whensHutchins
laid in wait for Ashley, and when he came
up struck him, it is alleged with club,
and afterward threw a chisel at him which
took effect in the hack, and inflicted a wound
hich will probably prove fatal.1 Hutcbins
was subsequently arrested, taken before

quired 70 give bail in the sum Of $3.50 for his

The LATE ALLEGED CASE OF RECEIVING
STOLEN GooDs.--Moses A. Davis, NJ. Karger
aud M. Hirschberg, merchants doing business
on the corner of Fifth and Main, were arrested
few days ago, charged with receiving stolen
goods. The case came up for examination
before Judge Lowe, yesterday morning, and
the defendants were discharged after long
and patient examination.
The prosecuting witness, Charles Jacobs,
testified that the defendants had made him a
peculiar coat with pockets in the inside for the
purpose Of secreting stolen property, and
that they purchased all that he could steal, at
one-half its market value. He also testified
that he stole a number of pens from George
w. Sheppard & Co.. valued at 50 20 each,
and that they had given him $40 for them,
seven in number.
Other testimony was ELECTED, but none
that had any direct bearing upon the case.
Indeed the defendants rebutted this testi-
mony, explained the transactions they had
| with Jacobs to the eutire satisfaction of the
| Court, and the consequence was that they
were honorably dismissed, and charge OF
petty larceny entered against the prosecuting
witness, which, if his own evidence may be
relied upon, win send him for q long term to
the delightful precincts ofthe County Jail.

An Apt lllustratioN--a Pair ofShcarH.

One Of the best illustrations of the sim
ilarity Of principle between the Southern
Dlsunion party, which supports Breckin
ridge and Lane. and the Northern Repub
icans, who go for Lincoln and Hamlin, is
contained in the following extract from
Mr.. Douglas Concord (New Hampshire
speech. He said:
" \ Oh find the country divided into two
sectional parties, one North and the other
Soulh--thc Republican party in the North
appealing to the prejudiccs Of the North
against the South, and the Dlsunion party
in the South appealing to the preiudices
OF the South against the North. The Re
publican party demand that the Federal
Government shall take charge Of the slav,
cry question. The Southern Disunionists
demand also that the Federal Go eminent
shall settle the question. The Republic
cans want the Federal Government TO
WELD its power against slavery; and the
Disunionists want it welded for slavery
everywhere. Thus you find an irrepressi-
bic conflict between them. The one is the
''i'bNS VI lilt OllleI, but etcil Is neCcS
sary to the existence Of the other. The
Republicans Of the North and the Disun
ionIsts of the South occupy precisely the
same relation to each other as the two
blades OF pair OF shears and they both
turn on the same pivot and cut III opposite
directions. Intervention by Congress with
slavery in the Territories is the pivot on
which they both turn. The Republicans
say Congress must prohibit slavery when
The people want it-no matter about doinp
1t when they don't want it. The Disun,
lonists demand, on the other hand, that
Congress shall maintain and support slav =
cry whenever The people don't want it
they say they want it protected by Con
greSs when 1t is necessary to protect and
II IS not necessary to protect it when the
people want it themselves. Thus both OF
these parties predicate their distinctive
creeds upon the doctrine Of intervention
by Congress with slavery in the Terrific
RES, in opposition to the wishes of the
people in all cases The Democratic par
", on the other hand, proclaim the doc
tnnc OF non interference with the domestic
institutions everywhere. Good That
It, hats it We say to the Federal
Government, Hands of, Touch not the

Federal Government what our fathers OF
the Revolution said to the British Paria-
ment: Mind Your own busiucss.'
