A Democratic Outrage in New Haven.

From the New Haven Journal & Courier, Sept. 10
Last evening. soon after o'clock, the
first company of the Boys in Blue of this
CITY moved from their headquarters. and
forming in procession, To the number of
about one hundred, proceeded in a peacea-
bile march, headed by drum corps, through
Grand street, on their way to Fair Haven,
to attend a meeting at Hemingway's Hall,
on the east side, where company OF Boys
in Blue were tobe organized. Upon reach
ing Olive street they were meet with boot
ings, groans and furious yells by crowd of
democratic roughs, who attacked the rear
of the column and wrenched tine torches
from some of the company. They pursued
their march until near the Catholic Church,
when terrible onset was made on the pro-
cession, and bricks stones and other missiles
were hurled fuTiously into the peaceable
and inoffensive procession. Several were
Immediately knocked senseless, and the
whole column was thrown into confusion;
the torches were wrested from the hands of
some of the men, and frightful scene of
violence and blOodshed was inaugurated
Father Hart, near whose residence the
worst of the attack was made, appeared on
the spot promptly and used his influence
and authority to quiet the confusion and
calm the angry mob. He was partially
successful, and about fifty of the Boys in
Blue managed 20 get out of the melee and
reach Fair Haven. We are unable to state
the entire casualties, but so far as we have
learned, they are these:
VIM Bradbury, Jr., of No. 452 State
street, was hit by stone, and his head was
cut open, making an ugly wound. George
Gray, son of VIM. Gray, No. Ii Gilbert
street. received a compound fracture of the
skull from brickbat, and was, it is feared
fatally injured. He was taken home insen-
sible. An elderly man, name not ascertain
ed, was struck by missile, or weapon of
some kind, and receiveda severe cut on the
head. J. Peck, a Young man, was also
struck and his head split open. A youth,
name unknown at present writing, was
struck on the left jaw, which was badly
broken. Many others received less serious
injuries.
That the attack was entirely unprovoked
is, we believe. undeniable; that it was pre-
meditated, appears to be proven from the
fact that many of the missiles were thrown,
as we are credibly informed, from the win
dows of houses along the line of the march
and especially at the scene of the fercest
attach

THAD. STEVENS SUCCESSOR. Phila-
delphia Press thus speaks of Thaddeus Ste
vens' successor: Col. Dickey is the son of
Hon. John Dickey. who served in two Con-
crosses as a Representative for the Beaver
District, and died in 1853. He went to
Lancaster in 1916, and began the study of
law in the Office OF Thaddeus Stevens.
When admitted to the bar he entered at
once into a lucrative practice, which his
ability and perseverance enabled him to
constantly increase. A few years ago he
served term as District Attorney for the
county. He is about forty-three years of
age, firm Radical, a forcible speaker, and
as he is executor of the will Of Mr.. Stevens,
so now the action of the Republican party
makes him his political executor. The
duty could not have been imposed upon
one who knows it more thoroughly, and
who will perform it more effectually.

WHAT WOMAN SAYS OF MEN AND WOMEN.
A lady writer in the Broadway, IN an ar
ticle entitled yourselves" says, in compar-
inc women TO men: Though we were GER
tainlv not sent into the world solely to sup
plement mems lives and to have no origi-
nal objects of our own, still, we cannot dc
without their liking; and it is only night
that we should set our watches by their
time. They are clearer-headed than we
less prejudiced, if less conscientious, more
generous when generous, and more tenael
9hen tender. When they love, they love
better than we love, but less absorbingly
We give them the whole of our lives to
love, they keep one portion of theirs fol
work, and another for ambition. Still, tho
half measure of gallon is more than the
full masure of pint; and weight fol
weight, the mans love is greater than th'
woman's."
