Attempt 20 Murder an Actress.

At late hour last night an attempt was
made to murder Miss Florence Temple, an
equestrienne actress, in her apartments in the
boarding house No. 1873 Bleecker street. which
was only frustrated by the remarkable presence
of mind OF the intended victim. The would be
murderer is Thomas j. Carr, a letter-carrier,
attached to station &c" located at the junction
of West Twelfth and Fourth streets. It appears
that Carr had been for some time paying atten-
tions to "Mlss" Florence Temple, who, although
she rejoices in the spinster appellatlon, Is
widow, and has two children who are living
with her. Miss Temple, IL Is stated, had
formerly lived with Carr, In Broome street, but
about eight months ago started on a starring
expedition through the Eastern and Western
States, and only returned TO this city on We'd
nesday, after appearing on that night as "Dick
House. In Paterson, N. j., with her trained
steed Firefy. On her arrival in this city Carr
called on her, with the evident intention of re-
neWing his former Intimacy, btu IL would seem
that Miss Temple did not appreciate his kind
Intentions and treated him very ooolly. This
gave rise to jealousy in Carr's mind, and he de-
termined he would not Ibe supplanted by any
man, He called on Miss Temple at q late hour
last night and had an interview with Miss Tenn
floor of the house. Miss Frances Temple, aged
NJ wears O daughter Of Miss" Temple, was in
the room at the time. Some conversation ensued
between the eq1teStrtenne and the enraged letter
carrier, which resulted in the woman leaving
her seat and taking seat in another part of the
room. This so excited Carr, who had been
drinking rather freely, that he got up from his
seat and. drawing large Colts revolver from
man shall have you. for III shoot you," he
cooked the pistol and fired The woman, be-
coming aware of his murderous design, sprang
nom her seat, and, striking the muzzle OF
the pistol with her right hand, gave the
weapon a downward inclination, and the
inst above the knee, and, passing through
caused a very severe and painful, though not
dangerous wound. This occurred between ii and
h O'clock, and In q moment after aicer Boger,
of the Eighth, Precinct. who happened to be
Standing on the opposite corner OF Bleecker
and Laurens street. attracted by the shooting,
ran into the house, and ascending TO the room
arrested Carr, who made no resi- stance. In a
few moments after Captain CafYrey ana Oficer
Orser. OF the Fifteenth Precinct were In the
house. BY direction Of the Captain, DR.. Doran
pronounced It not dangerous one. Carr was
eonyeyed to the Eighth Precinct Station House
by Offioer Bolger and locked up for the night
He is twenty four years OF age, and native Of
the United States. he made no statement in
regard TO the affair. Miss Tenn ole was also
remarkably reticent An individu Al who repre-
sented himself TO Captain Carney as an attache
OF the Tribune, made himself rather ofIiclous In
proclaiming himself as friend OF Miss Temple

PHLEBoToMY.-WhenD Dr. Sangrado found his
patients weak he gave them water Cruel When
they got weaker he bled them, and dosed them
with calomel and jalap, GIL Bias tells as they
almost invariably died. A good many people
are killed that way yet. The world in general,
however, has found out that. in cases of debility
and premature decay, HosTETTER's STOMACH
BITTERs is the true life sustaining cordial. This
tonic is powerful and perfectly harmless
restorative. But it does more than invigorate.
II regulates and purifies. While it builds mp the
strength and infuses vitality into the blood 1t
brings oil the secretions into harmony with the
laws of health. The feebler sex find it invaIu-
able In the various physical difficulties to which
their organization renders them subject. In all
hysterical and hypochondrical cases its effect is
magical. The Infirmities Of age are aIleviated
by its use; and where the circulation is torpid,
and there is a tendency to paralysis HosTEr-
TER's BITTERs are recommended as means of
reinvigoratlng the system and prolonging life.
At this season OF the year particularly, when
midsummer's scorching heat does so much
towards reducing the vital energies Of the body,
this inestimable tonic and stomachic produces
a wonderful effect. BY 1t the strength is in-
creased, the appetite preserved, and frmness
and elasticity given TO the system.

The case of Judge THOMAS is one of the
most important and significant which have
ever occurred in this country. Important,
because in this case the United States
claims to override in a State court the
laws Of State as to the competency OF
witnesses; and significant, because the
fact that learned, honorable, heightened
Judge could be arrested under such cir
cumstances without producing a profound
sensation throughout the whole country
proves that the people Of our northern
States (tre are voiceless in our woerO
have indeed ceased to exercise that vigi-
lance which is the price of liberty. The
arrest of the bishops by King JAMES con-
vulsed all England and cost him his crown.
The arrest Of Judge Of spotless purity OF
character causes in the United States no
greater sensation than the capture Of an
Indian
1t is proper to add that the law Of Vir-
GINA has been made to conform to the re-
quirements Of the civil rights act since this
indictment was found, and that Judge
THOMAS has always received negro testi-
mony since that change took effect. He
was indicted in May, 1866, and was not ar
rested until August, 1867!
What do such proceedings indicate?

The LINCOLN dream related by Mr..

actly the sort of dream that the Presi-

not four times only, but seventy times
seven" We can see nothing strange or
mysterious about it.. We Of the South
have every reason for rcgretting Mr.. LIN

good reason why we should reproduce
such stupid stories as the one in question.

Observation-Disclosures Is, 1867
Tho New York Press upon Mr. Stan
tons Suspension.

GrErI.Ey is Of course wroth because
Mr.. Johnson has suspended STANTON, but
he finds consolation in the hope that the
act NAV rebound to the credit and result
in the success Of the Republican party at
the next presidential election and the
coed of the country. RAYMoNDs paper
IS more severe upon the President than
GRrELsr's. The San rather approves, and
takes it for granted that the Democrats
will now come ont decidedly in favor Of
GRANT for President. The World con-
graduates Mr.. JOHNSON upon this exhibit
ton Of pluck, and reminds him of the iron
nerve Of ANDREW JACKSON. The Herald
ius;ifcs the suspension ont and out. One
Of its Washington kilograms asserts that
the next step will probably be the removal
of SHERIDAN and the other four military
commanders and the HeralTS comment
is that that is just what the President
ought to do. "In pursuing" it says, " his
" irst decisive blow with these other de-
" cisive blows suggested, Mr.. JOHNSON can
"not fail to make a case so broad and
" sensation so general in his behalf as to
"result in powerful popular rejection IL
{" our coming northern elections in favor o.
white supremacy against southern negro
supremacy, especially as the white
"policy Of JOHNSON will be represented by
General GRANT as the general superin'
"tcndent of southern reconstruction by
authority Of Congress-"
The Urold states the points in issue be-
tween the President and his enemies in the
following manner:
"Thc question thus presented is whether
the ten excluded southern States, as a ma
tional political balance Of power, shall be
controlled hereafter, for ten, twenty, or
fifty years, by their five hundred thousand
niger voters, as they were for seventy
years before their rebellion by their three
hundred thousand ger-drivcrs. is the
country at large prepared and ready for
the transfer Of the political power OF the
South from the late oligarchy OF slave
holders to their cmancipated negro slaves
Is there no halfway house OF safety be-
tween the one extreme and the other!
President Johnson thinks there is, while
Stanton and his Radical supporters hold
that there is not, and are resolved that
there shall not be-"
