The evening telegraph. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1864-1918, 1864-10-07

made secret bargain 70 support MIR. Samuel =.
Creswell for Common Council, in return for votes
for General Reilly for Congress. This is an
attempt to defeat Hon Charles O'Neill for Con
gress, and should be frowned upon by every
Republican.
Il is charged that Mr.. Creswell has used his in
duenco in Councils 20 throw the municipal |
patronage into the hands OF the Democrats. He |
voted in favor Of Democrats in the Gas Works In |
the Guardians OF the Poor and in the Girard Col
lege, and the tremendous lever Of their disburse-
mtnts are now being used against the Govern
mCnt.
Richard Vaux owes his election as Director Of
GiIard College TO Mr.. Crcswels defiance OF
party obligations. The Republicans Of the ward
have therefore demanded a change, and have
nominated Mr.. Edwin Macbette, a gentleman Of
indcmitabIe energy, and devoted heart aud soul
TO the cause OF thU Government.
EGLcrmcIrY AS APPLIED TO THE HUSiNN
FRANE.--A very interesting lecture on electricity,
its uses, etc, as applied to the human system,
was delivered at the Electrical Institution Of
Professors Bolles & Brown, at No. 1920 Walnut
street. This institution was established five years
since for the express purpose OF treating patients
afflicted with any complaint, by means Of elec.
ircity. BY invitation, last evening, very able
lecture was delivered by Professor Boiler TO
large and highly apprcciatiye audience. Ihe
lecturer Xplained at length The mode of treat
mcnt through the powerful agency OF electricity,
and why it should be more effective than the
treatment Tcsorted 10 by ordinary physicians. It's
effects upon the human frame are miraculous, and
in All cases where vitality enough is LETT 10 react,
q speedy cure, IL is claimed, can be effected. The
reason given for the repeated failure OF the old
me dcRl systems of practice, is that the diseases
have their Orilin in the pelvic Yiscera, aud can
not be reached under such treatment. Electricity,
when applied TO such cases, would work aston
ishing results,
The lecture last evening was NEST able indeed,
and contained many interesting explanations in
regard TO electricity, with which the MUD Of
every one should be thoroughly cognizaut.
A MIxEp-uP CAsE.-Mrs. Murphy, the pro-
prietress of a whisky mill at Cullen aud Cross
alleys, preferred charges before Alderman Nc
CnhGn, yesterday, against negro named Thomas
Nixon. A few days since a number Of persons
were in the house of Mrs. Murphy, and under
the influence Of liquor they grew rotous. They
lett the house quarreling, leaving Nixon and
| u colored lady, named Mrs. Bradley, behind
| The barkeoper of the house, VIM. Hunter, entered
the bar-ioom as soon as the party left, and Mrs
| Bradley and Mrs Murphy became involved in
| quarrel. THIS was unpleasant, and Hunter inter
! fered and put Mrs. Bradley out. Nixon then
| became involved. The cOmplainants alleged that
Nixon beat Hunter badly. The defendants
asserted that after Mrs. Bradley left, the door of
the house was closed, and both of the complain
ants fell upon Nixon, who was beaten with
! turning the tables. Nixon was held 10 answer,
| and n counter suit will doubtless be brought
against Mrs Murphy and Hunter. We defy any
one to fully understand the above suit.
DIR. ELDER To.NIGHr.- 1t is announced that,
by the invitation of the Republican Inyincibles,
Dr. William Elder will address the public this
evening at the Musical Fund Hail. DIR. Elder is
one OF the most original and entertaining of the
popular orators of our time, and we can promise
his audience an intellectual feast seasoned with
humor and crowned with nm earnest and uniiinch-
ing loyalty. Doctor Elder has devoted much
time TO the study Of our vast and comprehensive
financial sy STEM and his brief and terse alluSons
to the smooth seas after the storm are exhaustive
essays on the ability of our people TO pay the
national debt with comparative ease. He has u
happy way of relieving the details of finance
from It's usual dry and musty character, and OF
framing the figures of arithmetic in figures of
! speech TO the mingled delight and instruction of
all that hear him.
ASSAULT AND BATTERY, WITH INTENT TO
KIL.-This morning, John Burns, a desperate
character well known to the police, was before
Alderman Jones upon the charge of attempting
10 commit a felony and assault and battery, with
intent to kill. It seems that he visited house
of rather low repute on Market street, above
Ninth. He encountered one of the young ladies,
and attempted TO force from her S75 which she
had secreted in her stocking. She resisted, ana
|
her IN most cowardly manner, cutting her face
and head in several places. He was committed
in default Of $1,000 bail to answer at Court.
REcRuIT1NG.-This morning warrants for the
payment of the city bounty to thirty-iye men
were issued by the Mayor. The political excite
ment seems to have dampened the enlistment
! fever, and but few recruits are secured. lt wll
| not do to stop now, when our quota is so nearly
full. A few days more of energetic exertioni
will accomplish all that is desired Since most o
the wards have hlled their quotas, there IS les
competition, and the labors OF the committees IL
the wards still deficient are TO that extent light
ened. All that is nee ded now Is Il real and deter
mined effort to fill the quotas in the differen
wards.
