The West-Enders NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. In

The following advertisement appeared in
the city papers yesterday;

Having learned from members Of the City
Council, who claim 10 speak for four or Eve
of the West-End Wards, that the people in
that locality were terribly excited, and de-
termined TO resist, to the utmost, the reduc-
tion of railroad fare, preferring to pay four
rather than three cents, merely out Of re-
gard for the sanctity of contracts, and
through patriotic desire to pay portion of
the expenses of the city, we furnished our
selves with large quantity of paper, two or
three pencils, &C., expecting employment
for several hours in noting down the
patriotic expressions of the speakers; and
that we might be the better prepared fordis-
patch, we wrote, in brackets, in every two
or three lines, such words as CHEERS zap
plause,' and "good,' to which were fire.
quentIy prefixed adectiues, like "loud,"
tremendous" &C., as the feelings of the
| audience were supposed to become wrought
up, never doubling that they would be
needed. The call, It will be seen, designated
halfpast seven o'clock as the hour for COM
| menCement but as it was generally under
| stood that the enthusiasm of the individual
| who paid for the advertisement was so
| great that he could not remain quiet so long,
we mounted the fastest car, and, by seven
| o'clock, were on the ground-a spot rendered
| memorable by an assembly to consider the
same subject, some time since. On alighting,
| no one could be seen on the corner, but in a
beer saloon near by we found the man who,
on the occasion referred to above, claimed to
be the proprietor general, because he had
'paid for the advertisement"
He evidently felt that the people, on this
occasion, had concluded to respect his claims,
and allow him to enjoy alone all the glory
of the night. Halfpast seven arrived, and
still no one came to rob him of his meeting
it was his, and his alone. At this hour, two
more knights of the "Faber, No. q" arrived
and half a dozen people assembled on al
opposite corner, and commenced discussing
Douglas, Lincoln, Bell, the Prince of Wales
and several other personages, but none o
them became sufficiently boisterous to dis
turb "my meeting"
Eight o'clock passed, and the speakers whit
were announced did not arrive. Half-pas
eight, little card was slipped into the
hands of the proprietor, announcing tina
one of the speakers would be there at nine
whereupon the reporters, by mutual consent
simultaneously adjourned.
The Performance lacked but two element
of success--it had no organization and nc
body was there. Had it not been for thes
defects, there would, without doubt hay
been great amount of enthusiasm displayed
AS the proceeding was had with view
denounciDg Gen. Whitcomb, that gentlema
will no doubt feel constrained, hereafter,
hold the railroads to their contracts.

NEW MoDE OF SETTLING THB ITALIAN I'M
RRoGLIo.-The well-known Italian writer,
Signor Giuseppe Ferrari, has just published
a pamphlet, in Paris, entitled the AnneratioE
of the t,oo Settles. Mr.. Ferrari's solution
of the Italian Question is amusing. He pro-
poses the revival of the imperial and ponti.
fcal compact, which existed in the time o
Charlemagne. "The pontifcal aud Imperial
federation of the Italians should be renewed
and reconstructed" says the pamphleteer
with disarmed Pope, as in the days 0
Avignon, and with an absent Emperor, as a
the epoch of the great interregnum." Ii

The RECENT TRAGEDY IN THE FOURTH
WARD-0ur readers are already acquainted
with the circumstances connected with the
shooting of Councilman Glass, which took
place last Sunday, and the subsequent at
tempt of the female to destroy herself. She
was arraigned before Judge Lowe, yesterday
morning, on a charge of shooting with intent
to kill, and waving an examination, was
committed to Jail, in default of bail in the
sum of $3.50, to await trial before the next
term of the Court of Common Pleas. She
has fully recovered from the effect Of the
poison she took after tae attempted homicide,
but her souls great woe, which only is ex-
pressed in burning tears, remains unhealed.
The sympathy of her friends affords her no
consolation, and like one distract, she weeps
and wrings her hands continually, over the
unfortunate love that will not break her
heart, and can not be conquered.

ARREST OF AN ALLEGED DEALER IN CoUN-
TERFEIT Coma Brace of Policemen Beau
titllly Soda few days ago, an individual,
while strolling through the extreme south
ern part of Indiana, met man, who seemed
desirous of purchasing quantity of coun-
terfeit coin, and agreed to furnish him $500
in bogus half-dOllars, at the rate of fifty
cents on the dollar. The arrangement was
perfected, and the Hoosier agreed to call
yesterday at the Henrie House. in this city,
receive the coin, and pay our hero $3.50.
The Indianian felt very well satisfied the
supposed counterfeiter was trapped, and
informing couple of our police officers of
| the circumstances, invited them to assist
him in the very laudable undertaking of
arresting the maker Of money. Accord
ingly they kept the appointment at the
Henrie House, received o box, which was
said to contain the $500 in counterfeit coin
and gave in exchange for it fraudulent
check
! Not doubling that their game had been
very nearly played out, and assured that
| they held the last trump, the officers arrested
their supposed victim while on his way to
bank, carried him to the Ninth-street Sta
t.on-house, examined the box he had sold
them and found that it contained no coun-
terfeit coin whatever, but was filled with
lead and shot to make up the requisite weight.
At this stage of the proceeding it may be
supposed that they were puzzled. The sup
posed counterfeiter held one ace too many
for their purpose, and they knew not what
to do with him. They found no spurious
money on his person, or among his effects
and he had not received money by false pre-
lenses, for they had paid him, with false
check, We presume he will appear before
JHdge Lowe this morning, on charge o
vagrancy, which is an excellent refuge fol
