WARRINGTON Oct. l7.-Thomas b. Florence
yesterday admitted to Secretary McCulloch
that there was not the ghost of show for the
election of Seymour and Blair, and In his
paper of the same afternoon he claimed Indiana
for the Democrats and cassed Pennsylvania
and ohio as doubtful with the chances In favor
OF the Democrats. Tom has one opinion for MS
friends and another for his readers.
The Excitement
over the proposed withdrawal OF Seymour and
Blair is rapidly subsiding, and the bestinformed
Democrats say no further efforts will be made
in that direction. This proposition will add to
their weakness, for those who desire new
ticket declare openly that they will mol cor
daily support the present candidates.
MIR. Eyarts
returned this morning, and he and Buckley
were with the President long time this morn
ing, discussing some new charges which Blnck
ley brings forward against Rollins.

A Cool TorgR-A good anecdotc is
told of man named Bentley, con.
firmed drinker, who would never drink
with friend or in public, and always
bitterly denied when little overcome,
ever tasting liquor. One day some bad
witnesses concealed themselves in his
room, and when the liquor was running
down his throat, seized him with his
arms crooked and his mouth open, and
holding him fast asked with an air OF
triumph: "Ah. Bentley, we have
caught you at last9 You never drink.

Bentley would have acknowledged the
fact. Not he. With the most grave
and inexpensive face, he camly, and in
dignilied manner, said: Gentlemen,
my name is not Bentley"

G. F. TRAlS.-A London paper, speak
ing of George Francis Train, says il
he could be taken just as he is, and
put in novel or play, he would make
a fortune for his translator. Comparing
him to Johnny Bull, it says, our men
are either one thing or the other:
this man is all things, and some
thing more. In his literary illusions,
it says, read one of his sentences and
yon think him decidedly crazy; another,
and he seems too clever to be good; q
third, and you think him too good to be
clever. He writes on all mortal things
with = mixture of shrewdness, impu-
dence and earnestness which is perfect
ly perplexing; and closes by calling
him an extraordinary man truly; wheth-
or for good or evil, and certainly quite
u new development for us here.

SAD DEATH OF AN ACTRESS.

band 81 81. louis Man
We clip from the Louisville Journal, the
following sad story of the death of a young
woman, who during the war, played to
crowded houses Of admiring Nashvillians
at the Summer Street Theater
Yesterday morning, at about four 0 clock,
when those who had passed the night in
reveIry on the steamboat Valley, which had
been chartered by a club of sporting men
for a moonlight excursion, we're coming
ashore after returning to the city, an event
occurred which caused all who participated
to regret and mourn. A barge was towed
by the boat, and on it the excurtionists
danced there was not room enough in the
boat for this purpose, hence the barge. As
the party were leaving the boat, Flora
Read, who was one Of the gayest among the
crowd missed her footing az she stepped
from the steamboat to the barge, fell into the
river and was drowned. Her body was found
yesterday. The Coroner held al inquest
upon il, and the verdict of the Jury was
that she came to her death by accidental
drowning. After the inquest she was re-

where Il was properly laid out and placed

father, who resides at Hamilton, Ohio, has
been telegraphed to- and the body will be
kept in vault until be is heard from. If
he does not come, or send for her remains,
she will be buried by Jennie Laws in one
Of her own lots at Cave Hill Cemetery.
The maiden name of the unfortunate
victim Of this night OF dissipation was
Florence Matilda McNiyen. She was born
in Ireland, and was at the time Of her
death about twenty -lour years Of age Early
in her life, which has been an eventful one,
she contracted a great passion for the stage.
She was qualified by education 10 Gil or
binary parts only. Her parents, when
they first came 10 this country, settled at
Hamilton, Ohio, and we are informed that
her father is at present well-to-do resi-
dent Of that city.
When she was about fifteen years of age
her parents moved to Cincinnati, where
seven wears ago she made her debut on the
stage Of the old National Theater as ballet
girl. This calling she afterward, against
the wishes Of her parents and friends,
adopted; and, though she has never risen
above mediocrity in speaking parts, she
eXcelled as danseuse, had fascinating
face, was symmetrically formed and grace
full in her movements. As professional
she has never been identified with any first
class amusement houses, but has confined
her talents 70 such places as the iiinerant
variety troupes perform, and her associates
were selected from such men as compose
the audiences a. these disreputable places.

Tho PARK Question >gain.

The recent action of the City Council
seems to indicate that the determination of
that body to purchase ground for a city
park is fixed, and that the selection has
been somewhat definitely settled upon-lhe
McGavock tract, lying in the northern
suburbs, approachable only, We believe,
from College and Market streets. We do
not propose TO discuss at all the eligibility
of this site, or its adoption to such i'm
proYement as would be desired in pub
lie resort of this character, but simply to
call the serious attention of the City Coun-
Gil, prior to their final action, to the numer-
GUS petitions in circulation on the streets
yesterday, signed by all classes of property
holders and taxpayers, without regard to
party or color, praying for an indefinite
pOstponement Of the subject, with special
reference TO the tract mentioned. We are
informed that not single taxpayer to
whom any one of these petitions has been
presented, has declined to sign, and to ex-
press an earnest desire for its postpone
ment.
The City Council has doubtless been con-
trolled in this matter by desire TO satisfy
an apparent public demand for this much
needed improvement but We can now but
agree with these numerous petitions re-
garding our depleted city treasury, which
is in no condition for such an outlay, Just
at this time.
We do not doubt that these petitions will
receive prompt and proper hearing, and
we hope also that the present pressing past
due Indebtedness of our city will be borne
in mind.
With fifty thousand dollars, part due
coupons on her bonds, with an additional
floating debt of near one hundred thousand
dollars in the shape of treasury warrants
or checks, a current annual expense of at
least $500 GOO; in addition to all of which
one hundred thousand dollars of bonds
falling due April 1st, 1862 with an in
crease in the rate of taxation of five mills
on the dollar, and an increase Of FIVE mil
lions in the valuation of taxable property,
over that of any other year, we do not
think that the purchase of park at any
price would be judicious, or in any wise
proper.
We hope the petitions will receive
prompt and favorable consideration, and,
indeed, we have but little doubt that they
will when presented.

PROBABLY A FATAL SHOT.
Shooting ScraPe at the Academy OF
Music Last Night.

Music Last Night.
Last night about twelve o'clock, inn
mediately after the performance at the
Academy Of Music had closed, and the
audience was coming down the steps, Jno.
Rucker, full-grown man, went up to q
youth of seventeen years, named Charley
Macy, son Of Silas N. Macy, of the firm
of Macy q Brown, Public Square, who
was standing in the doorway, and il is
alledged without Just provocation called
young Macy some very hard names, and
at the same time struck him in the face,
knocking him down in the gutter. Hat
Macy, younger brother of the youth
seeing his brother taken at disadvantage,
and that, too, by a man, pulled out his
pistol and fired two shots, one of the balls
taking effect in the right breast of Rucker
Immediately below the fight nipple. He
was carried to the house of his sister, Mrs.
Clemens, on Union street, and at one
o'clock this morning doubts were enter
tanned as to his recovery, the wound having
commenced bleeding inwardly. Macy is
a member of one of the first families in the
city, quiet genteel young fellow, while on
the other hand Rucker is said to be a
quarelsome person, and a bar-roOm loafer.
What the origin of the affair was, we did
not learn, owing to the late hour at which
it occurred. Macy was taken to police
headquarters.
