Ingeraoll IN a scrana.

lngersou, who delivered strong seces.
sion speech few days since in New
York, was waited upon by committee
of citizens on alighting from the railroad
train at Ninth and Green streets, and was
required to apologize for the speech. This
Ingersoll refused to do, and drew re.
volver from his pocket, but was unable
to fire it before he was knocked down
and very badly cut and beaten by the
crowd. He was then arrested and held
to bail in the cum of$2, 900 on the charge
of assault and battery and carrying con.
cealed deadly weapons. :,.-
A committee Of citizens have since
waited upon the mayor to have the bail
increased to $4,000, "
Ingerspll is regarded as one of the
chiefs of the disloyal party in this city. (
The Bulletin furnishes the following
particulars of the Ingersoll difficulty
WHICH has produced considerable excite.
ment in the city, .. 4, s.,. ~. *
When the train reached Ninth and
Green streets, party of men got around
the front door of the car, for the purpose
of giving Ingersoll a parting salute Of
groans. The obnoxious individual, how.
ever, passed ont of the back door, and
got upon Wallace street. The crowd
followed after him. At Eighth street,
Ingersoll turned about and. faced the
party.
Captain J. H. Wilmington, A., of the
One Hundred and Eighty.eighth Re
giment ofPennsylyania, Volunteers, then
stepped forward and said: iIngersoll,
I'm soldier 1 have rislsed my life for
my country. 1 think you owe an
apology to the country for your speech,
and particularly to the soldiers @
Ingersoll merely replied, Go to h--ll.'
The Captain then raised his cane to
strike Ingersoll, but the blow was warded
off by Ingersoll with his cane. The two
then crossed canes for few seconds. In.
gersoll received a cut on the left side Of
his face, aud broke his cane upon the arm
Of Captain Wilmington. Ingcrsoll then
drew back about ten PAGES, took from
hispocket a revolver and cooked it. Some
OF the crowd scattered at this warlike
movement of Ingerson, when he was
seized by police officer. It was as
much as the officer could do to keep the
people from laying violent hands upon
his prisoner. The prisoner was finally
landed at the police station, followed by
an excited crowd, which augmented at
every square. .'' Gr.a ''FE g
Alderman Massey was sent for, aud
