About half-past eight o'clock The police arrest

viously been seized BY one or two white men
for an act of stealing. While attempting to
bring the prisoner TO the Guardhouse, the
officers were assaulted by p crowd OF furious,
excited negroes, who undertook his rescue.
They were assailed by the mob with shower
of brickbats, stones, &C., which took effect
upon several officers, causing them painful ln-
juries. So furious and determined was the on on
Set OF these negroes, that tho prisoner was lit
erally torn from the custody Of tho officers,
who we're compelled 10 retreat to the guard
house, followed by the excited mob which CON
tinued to assail them in the manner above S.e,
stated. Even at the very gates OF in1ooos the Oty

and were only dispersed by squad OF soldiers 5

wAsHueroN, June q. There is quite flut-
ter tonight among the knowing ones in Demo-
cratic circles. -
The friends of the President here claim that
he will certainly receive the largest vote on
the first ballot at the Democratic National
Convention. They further anticipate that
within the next three or four days some official
demonstration will be made, the effect OF which
will be to secure for him the nomination. They
are all the more confident Of bis chances, be
cause until now he has not been spoken OF as
q candidate, and has not, therefore, incurred
tae antagoni,m Of the partsans of t. leading
aspirants. II is claimed that MIR. Johnson's
~gallant stand for the Constit 7tion entities him
to the gratitude and favorable consideration Of
the Democratic rarty, and that some bold
stroke Of executive policy is al that is needed
to insure him the requisite two-thirds vote.
Hence it is confidently stated that important
events are near at band. The current coDiec-
ture is that there will be general amnesty.
