INTERNAL D1ssENsIoNs. The Democratic
Senatorial Convention, it will be remembered,
was held at Ladner's Military Hall yester-
day. OF the peace within the bounds of the
Convention we speak not but the scenes with
out merit notice, Large crowds, constituents
and dogmatic adherents to certain candidates,
gathered In the bar,room-upon the stairs,
until they groaned beneath the Democratic
weight-and in the streets. Now, the de-
meanor of such q concouTse, where virulent
opinions, obstinacy even to physical demon
stration, and drink were commingled, can bet
ter be Imagined than described. Nevertheless
it should be recorded that the ooncourse was
rampant No sooner did an enthusiastic con-
stituent elevate himself, and expatiate fully
he was brought low, or had to seek shelter from
the attacks Of an antagonist. Quarrelling
shouting, punching ragged outside, while within
the bar.roOm the turmoil was indescribable
The panels Of the heavy door leading into the
ment kicks, and spirited individuals attempted
to get within earsshot, If not within the hall
itself Excitement increased, wrath predomi-
mated, and trouble generally ensued when the
proprietor of the hall sent word to the Seventh
Police Station for officers to protect his pro-
perty, which was nearing speedy demolition
Sergeant Murray, with corps of officers, after
much resistance, quelled, to some extent, the
disturbance, and arrested twelve evil-dis-
posed persons, who were held to keep the peace.

on Q step; Mitchell came up and said something
to him In regard to fighting. A Scuf1e ensued,

owner it was handed to him. Shortly after he
made another attack on Durkin, and when
separated by the policemen it was discovered
that Durkin had received a stab in the left side,
directly in the region of the heart. The wound
was inflicted with the large blade Of an ordi-
nary pocket knife, and is not very dangerous,
although causing considerable pain; Fortu;
nately the knife took an obltque direction, and
IL gone straight, there is no doubt but that
Durktn would have been a corpse this morn

resulted In the binding over of the defendant TO
answer at Court
A SHOOTING AFFAIR IN THE NORTHERN PART
OF THE CITY.-The political excitement and
diate precincts of the various Johnsonian Con
ventions yesterday, but the disconLented dele
gates-no doubt irritated beyond forbearance
with failure, resulting from their too enthusi-
astic efforts-carried their wrath embosomed
until at some favorable opportunity they could
vent 1t unSpartngly upon their more success ul
brethren. Thus it happened that at American
street and Columbia avenue two men met who,
far from being prudent or cool headed, were
soon involved in the intricacies and troubles OF
partisan discussion. It is said that about 8
disagreeing, one Of them, Hugh Boyle aged
thirty. eight, drew revolver, and fired it twice
at his opposing friend, Thomas Clary One of
the shots passed through Clary's coat-sleeve,
while the other entered his left forearm, frac-
turing the bone. The wounded man was taken
Palmer street. Boyle was arrested by Officer
Pollock, and taken before Alderman Helms,
and was committed for further hearing.

Men walk into eternity quickly when they
step off from the wharves into the river.-Al

day proved abortive. Harmony did not perch
itself within the Johnsonian precincts Of either
Washington or the National Guards Hail.
