Heavy SKsirmish or Cherry street Be
tween the COnfending Forces of Al
den and Myers-AIdeR's Man gees OH
the Battlefield Carrying I'm His
Mouth n part Orthe Myers Man Up
per LIP and MOussache.
The war between the contending factions
of Radicals who are trying 10 get control
Of the city government, was opened yester-
day on Cherry street, by heavy sl;irmish
between Buck Lewis, Myers man, porter
al the throne Of Brownlow on the Capoio-
line Hill, and one Brewn, an Alden man.
The controversy grew out of a dispute be-
tween the relative claims ofthe two candi-
dates for the Msyoraliy. No artillery WAS
used on the occasion, but there was won~
derful conflict of small arms, and such a
gnashing Of teeth has not been heard for a
long time in the quiet precincts Of Cherry
street. Brown made an effort TO reconstruct
Lewis, and endeavored to kiss him, but
Lewis thought Of Judas, and OPP
posed the kissing. Brown with great
gsllantry pressed the question, and
in the struggle brought of square piece
Of Lewis lip, moustach and all. DIR. w.
L. Michel was called in to dress the wound
Lewis was still raging with anger, and
thought he had given his share oftip serpice
to Myerssshether it would elect him or
not. Several white men Of the Alden
party came into see Lewis, but he was in
no very amiable humor, and denounced
them as Northern thieves who had come
down here to steal everything we have.
He would nof allov ono of fhau IN enaat-
to him.
The war over the loaves and fishes seems
to be opening, with fair prospects for a
brilliant campaign. The fat offices of the
city government are worth fighting for, so
90 in Alden and Myers to your hearts con-
tent.

MAJOR ALDEN MoDEsTLY ACCEPTS
IT'S true he is mere fungus Of few
months growth, mere bird Of passage
here to-day and tomorrow gone; yet
Notwithstanding all this, he has concluded
to take charge of the interests of this city,
with its vast wealth, and preside over it
for the coming year. As Commissioner Of
Registration he made the voters, and az a
compliment 10 him, for this great birth
right, they are going to make him Lord
Mayor Of the Getty.
There is another man in the feld-Mr
Abe Myers, who stands forth as the repre-
sentative Of the solid men of that party,
and claims that he has right to that dis
tinguiahed position with all the perquisites
attached thereto.
The property holders who have to pay
the expenses of the city government are
denied every privilege, save that Of paying
taxes; no legislation of even the most Raids
ical character, will ever take this right
from them. This is one of the inherent
rights which they need never fear will be
abridged, so long as our city is under the
control of a set Of wandering Bohemians.

A New DEVELOPMENT IN THE BYRAM
MURDER CAsF-ANorHER MAN ARREST
ED AS THE MURDERER AND BAILED.-
James Oliver was brought before Justice
Mathews at II NJ. yesterday to answer
charge of murder, Henry Carter having
arrested and lodged him in the workhouse
Saturday night, under his own (Carter's)
affidavit, charging him with completely 10
the Byram murder, for which certain par
ties have been once convicted and are now
on trial again. The defendant, with his
counsel, Bate aud Williams, appeared
promptly and demanded an immediate in
vestigation. Whereupon the attorneys for
the State, Messrs. Brien, Brown and Classic,
presented an affidavit Of the prosecutor for
a continuance. Gen. Bate, stating that it
was an extraordinary proceeding, which
may have been gotten up to influence the
trial now on hand, and delay, until it was
completed, being doubtless one OF the
objects of the prosecutor, asked and gained
permission to examine him Carter as to
matters mentioned in the affidavit. During
which Henry Carter, prosecutor, stated that
the witness, Sam Nelson, for whose absence
he asked a continuance, was last heard of in
Chattanooga; that he gained his informa-
ton from him (Nelson) while in Jail here
last year for horse stealing that he Gar
ter was a policeman and did not make it
known on the arres4of defendant, Oliver,
although he saw him frequently on the |
streets, and knew he lived in South Nash |
Vile ever since; admitted he had said to |
some one, since the first trial of the parties \
now on their second trial. that he believed |
them innocent, and If he could get money /
10 run about on railroads, etc, |
he could get the proof to show i
il; stated that he had arrested |
the defendant, Oliver, twice before, /
on other charges, and he was turned loose |
without trial. At this point the counsel !
for prosecution interfered a second time. /
and at their request, the Magistrate stopped |
the examination of Carter. The defend |
ants counsel urged a speedy trial, and pros |
ecution asked for ten days delay. The |
Magistrate decided that he had no right TO |
20 outside of the affidavit, and was hence,
under the law, compelled to continue the
case, which was done, until next Monday.
Counsel for defendant asked for bail, and
proposed to introduce all the parties who
were present at the alleged murder, and
show that the prisoner was not there at the
time and that this was malicious and for
purpose. The court declined to hear fur
Their proof or argument, and admitted de-
PENDANT to bail IN the sum OF $1,000, which
was given.

with Gov Brown, by Judge Smith, to
defend the prisoners. After Mr.. Caruthers,
Judge Guild appears for the State and

-ANOTHER RoBBERY-THE THIEF MAKES
GOOD TIME.-On Sunday night an adven-
turous thief made his way into the board
ing house Of Mrs. Plummer, os Summer
street, between the hours of two and three
o'clock, and stole 500 and a watch worth
$50 from Mr.. Cook, one of the boarders.
Mr.. Cook was awake at the time, and saw
the man walking across the floor, without
coat, hat or boots, and presumed that he
was one Of the boarders who had come in
late and was looking for his room. At last
becoming thoroughly aroused, he suspi-
cioned that all was not right, and got up to
examine, and found that his money and
watch were both gone. All the boarders
and household were soon aroused, and loud
calls were made for the police, but no
policeman came. In about three-quarters
of an hour, screams were heard around on
Union street, opposite the New Theater,
and susposing it to be some drunken man
beating his wife, several rushed around
and found that thief had entered Mrs.
Clemmons yard by back gate, and went
through the dining room window into the
house. He sat the table-castor on the win
dow, and also placed a silver ladle with
1t, with the evident purpose of taking them
along when he went out From thence he
went up stairs into the room occupied By
her son. taking ffty-fve cents out Of his
pockets, which, luckily, was all he had in
them. He searched his trunk, but took
nothing out, missing gold watch which
the Young gentleman had placed between
he cIofL ip0 orJ he'd vrori-od info III q bosop,
of a shirt He also went into several other
rooms up stairs, but found nothing. He
then came down stairs and went into Mrs.
C.'s room, which fronts on Union street
and commenced ransacking the drawers,
taking gold watch and chain from one of
them. The lady was wGkened by the |
noise, bat did not pay much attention to il,
until the robber, in passing from one side |
of the room TO the other on his hands and |
knees, accidentally hit her bed, when she
threw a slipper at the supposed rat; but |
the noise still continued. She jumped out |
of bed to scare him of, when the bold in
truder rushed past her, jumping out Of the |
front window into Union street, making |
his way up an alley toward Church street. |
As Mrs. Clemmons stood in the door by |
which he had first entered the room, the |
fellow did not go through the dlning-ro
after the plumber he had gathered up and |
laid on the window.
While going through the yard, before
entering the house, he picked up bali |
club, which was laying near the house, |
leaving Ratchet in its stead. There were
three or four lying there, and he selected
the heaviest one.
He was short, thick-set man, (white,) |
with hair closely cut had on dark pants,
short dark coat, and cap or small hat.
Friday night last, the same or another |
robber entered this house, taking 50 so |
from the pockets of boarder, and sixty |
cents and dollars worth of ice tickets, |
which in goblet on the mantle-piece;
but in his wanderings he knocked some
books off the mantle on the floor, and Mrs. |
Clemmons got up and came in to see what
was the matter, but the man had fed.
