probably be considered one of the most extra

almost every class, are, nevertheless, all of the

TEMPT AT RoBBERY.--Last night, about twelve
O'Clock, Thomas Stewart Wilson Meager, aud
Thomas Shaly, went to the shoe store OF Philip
Markley, on Germantown road, above Norris,
and Knocking at the door, demanded admit:
tance Mr.. Markley got up, came down, and
opened the door, desiring to know what they
wanted. pair OF boots they said was the
sole cause OF awakening him at that late hour
OF the night. But before Mr.. Markley had time
TO get the exact style of boot, the three fell upon
him, knocked him down, and beat him in a
violent manner. While thus engaged, an ap-
prentice to the proprietor OF the store came in,
and with a loud halloo for help, pitched in, with
commendable vigor and persistence to the aid
OF Mr. MarlSley, and for a time the three mid
night assailants had their hands full to look
to their personal welfare. They attempted to
beat hasty retreat, but they we're prevented
by the appearance or officers, who took the trio
in custody Alderman Helms committed each
in default of $500 bail. II was their intention,
IL is said, to beat ana gag the proprietor, and
then rob the store, Happily the latter part Of
the programme was not executed.
PERSONAL DIFFERENCES AND AssAULTs.-An

Trouble, emanating from causes to the public
unknown resulted in an application to the pub
lie authorities for protection. Mrs. Sarah Nc
Dewitt residing in the extreme northern part
of the city, assaulted her liege lord in most
demonstTative manner. Not content with
throwing dishes at his "head of heads" to their
household, and shying cups, etc, al his sconce
in a reckless way, she moreover threatened to
poison him, IL is said. When an officer made
his appearance to arrest her she led four
pound weight at him with a force which, had it
struck him, would have laid him low. Alder
man senix held her in 5000 bail to answer
ACcDENTs.-Hugh Kan, a lad, aged thirteen

JOHN F. Moore, Editor & Proprietor.

Marble knows his own convictions bet
ter than others nor is it impossible for
a student Of liberal philosophy to be a
Democrat.
Personally, Mr.. Marble is probably
about fifty years of oge, :hough the pre-
mature appearance Of gray in his hair
makes him perhaps look a trihe older
lie is below the medium stature, rather
heavy set, easy aud graceful in his move
ments, anG of prepossessing and winning
address. He is quite handsome, and
has decidedly foreign look, with cast
of Oriental comeliucss in his face, such
as is often seen in the inhertors o! lie.

or three generations through what is

He is, however, of puritan stock, we be.
lieve; but must be, as they would say
in the South; rather Of Norman than
Saxon lineage.
If he were attired in purple doub!et,
with carbine swung to his back, a
peaked hat, streaming with ribbons, put
upon his head, and thrust upon the
stage of the Academy to make love to
Herlina iu Italian scng, no one would
suspect he was not the proper person
for sentimental bandit.
Mr.. Marble is much the handsomest
of the prominent editors of New York /;
lives in ease, even luxury; enjoys the
library and his dinner lounges and talks
gracefully at the Manhattan Club; is a
power in his party and pleasant gen,
tleman in society and that very rare
thing-a highly successful and material,
ly prosperous journalist-while still
young and in the possession of perfect
health.

X'ae H"irg:liifs Election.

With clear white majority Of $4,000
votes, the State was SO gerrymaudered
that the negroes were enabled to elect
56 delegates and the whites only 43,
when it should have been the reverse
56 white conservatives and 43 negro
radicals. The negroes had been drilled
so well, and We're in such dread of their
mean white managers, that they voted
almost unanimously for the nominees of
the Radical party, no matter who were
their opponents. And not only this, but
by violence and threats they prevented
the blacks that desired to do so, from
voting the Conservative ticket. In AL,
5emarle county, one of the richest and
most populous counties IN tho State,
Judge Alexander Rivers, who has been
a Republican all his lille, before, during,
and since the war-a man of intelli-
gence, wealth and position in society
did not receive a dozen negro votes !;
a man named Thompson, from your
State, who was publicly denounced as
totally unworthy by the United States
officer, and negro named Taylor, wer.
elected almost unanimously over him m.
\ similar case occurred in Henrieo,
where Mr.. Franklin StearLs was the
candidate, nominated by Republicans,
only claim TO their suffrage, was that he
hid in the swamps during the war, and
because be was member of the Leauge
aud their President. Ia Mecklenburg

times IN the court tor Stealiag, waS eicc,

this city, consist the notorious Hunni,
cutt, the corrupt aud de.cstable Under
wood, an hishman named Morrisyey, a
disgrace to his gallant countrymen, aud
two negroes. These men received only
fifty white votes in the whole city, aud
were denounced publicly by some Of
their own gang as scoundrels and perjur.
ers. The respectable Northern men
among US did not and would not vote for
them; They were elected by fraud, as
the card from Mr.. Gilmer to General
Schofeld abundantly shows. The Pres.
idsnt of the registration board, one Rose,
(by no means sweet one,) on the last
day Of election said he che didn't caro-
d--n for all the people in Rich
mond )" some of his friends had bet on
the Radical majority of SO much, and he
inteuded they should win.

Twas two o'clock at Harrisburg
When to Williamsport l took the train
And rs | had not sleep Ell ough
l prepared to sleep again.
When female with much baggage
And bandboxes half q score,
Came and took seat beside me
With her boxes on the floor.
She was one of those fair creatures
Seldom in romance seen,
She, l thought was all of fifty
Or perhaps three times sixteen.
She was dressed in latest fashion,
And on her head hat she wore
Filled with flowers of all colors,
And protruded a loot or more,
She was tall, thin and scrGwny
And, in fact quite masculine,
And her ample dress of satin
Spread an awful Crinolinc.
But, without my leave or license
She did spread it over me
All! thinks my handsome lady
You are making rather free.
In voice she then addressed me,
Neither musical nor sweet,
Sir I've little pet dog
Who wants to have your seat.
Have you madam? said [ smiling
Indeed that is rather cool,
Where came from we learn manners,
You never troubled such school.
But you're welcome to it madam,
For your Dog now take my seat,
Surely such handsome lady
From me should but politeness meet.
Take it, and took another,
And in it soon sleeping lay,
And slept without once waking,
Till the dawning of the day.

The AIRLINE RoAD.-The Richmond
and Lynchburg Railroad Company ought
to be organized at once. We trust the
proper steps will be taken without delay.
The period is critical. We tell the friends
of this road that the longer they put off the
organization the longer it will take to build
the road. We believe arrangements can be
made for its construction this year. 1t is
important that not day should be lost.
We think 1t more than probable that the
Cumberland Gap railroad will be placed
under contract at an early day. With
that road finished, and the airline from
Richmond to Lynchburg completed, we
nave at once direct communication with
the Mississippi and Ohio cities. We can
not over-estimaie the Importance Of sucb
connections. 'S1
The company can be organized, and In a
most efficient manner. The way - build
the road, too, has already been pointed
out. 1t is altogether practicable. Cen
tlemep, organize! Organize. Bu,,d ,ho
road, and build up Richmond.
