The city is quite crowded with dele
gates to the soldiers convention and visi-
tors. The various delegations, on arriving,
have been escorted to quarters. This noon
several thousand assembled in Independ-
ence Square, where they were welcom ed

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. l.
Members of the Washington delegation
state that when about ten miles north OF
Baltimore party of men entered the car
where they were singing Grant campaign
songs, and made an attack on a colored man
who cheered for Grant. The Boys in Blue
resisted the attack, when they were in turn
assaulted and several injured, but they
| finally succeeded in driving the roughs out
of the car, when one of the latter fell be-
tween the cars and was probably killed.
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 1.
Six men were arrested to-day for at
tempting to get assessed in wards where
| they did not live, with the intention of du-
plicatiDg their votes. The excitement in
| relation to naturalizing is increasing
From an examination of the records in the
court it appears that some thousands of
papers have been issued, in which the res
| licences or the persons vouching tor appli
cants were in no instance taken down, so
| that the record of the court is useless in
| any attempt to prosecute vouchers tor per
jury in cases OF fraud.
