VeUDoU DoeroR IN THE FOURTH DIS
TBroT.-A freedman who travels under sew
eral names but at present uses the old name
Eli Young was yesterday before Recorder
Jackson on charge OF practicing fortune
telling without license, An officer meet
ing Eli on the highway accosted him and
asked how much would be the expense to
have his fortune told. The price was halfan
American dollar, and as Eli was about dip
ping into the future the officer inquired for
license but the teller of fortunes unfortu-
nately had the misfortune to possess none,
and thereupon Young was made prisoner
which little event he had. been unable to
foretell in his own behalf. When searched
there were found on him few of his
tricks of the trade. A queer little bundle,
composed of sand, hair, feathers, moss,
and lead, encased in leather, oval in
shape, might possess charms that would
frighten an old woman, but looked inno-
cent in itself. There were several other
articles similar to this, manufactured out of
harmless bits of something, but which,
taken together and pronounced in an in
cantatien, are by believers supposed to pos
sess some terribly destructive or influential
properties. Accused possessed deal OF
tongue and was competent to run his own
talking machine. He was glib in his repre-
sentaions, and had not the Recorder been
a travelled man would have been persuaded
into considering Eli an injured fellow being,
and then giving him fifty or hundred dol
lars, but the Court was adamant and re-
manded accused to prison until Thursday,
when there will be an examination.

BELtGGERANT.-J. B. Harrison created q
muss on Canal street on Sunday night last,
and when Officer Thornton expostulated
with him for his ungentlemanly conduct, he
flew at him in very belligerent manner,
and wagged his tongue at such an abusive
and rapid rate that an anchor was dropped
to his proceedings by locking him up in the
Second District stationhouse.

and Dauphine streets were discussing th,
events of the day, and knot of them as
serted that they had ''no confidence in any
one who would declare that niger was al

however, political progress is so rapid, may
tomorrow in the vain hope OF winning tc
their support the votes of few colored

1t is to be hoped that they will, and thus
plant themselves upon the Republican plat

Monday morning is usually or unusually a

not only was the room full, but men hung
in the windows and the doorway overfowed
with several grades of humanity. Court
officers blistered the palms of their hands
in slappiug railings to demand quiet or to
prevent persons conversng too loud.
The limbs of the law made motions with
arms and tongues; some wishing to con-

BRUTAL BUsINBsS.-On Sunday evening
a man named David Ryan, who has lived in
Algiers but q short time beat his wife so
numerically, at their residence on Madison
street, that if not in actual danger, she will
feel the effects of the violence for long
time to come. The poor woman, her per.
son covered with blood, and carrying an in.
FAINT in her arms, tried to escape, crying
murder and calling for rescue. Had it not
been for the interference of the neighbors
she might have fallen a victim to brutal
violence. This interference excited the
wrath of Ryan against the neighborhood
generally, and he made profuse threats of
killing and fire raising toward several citi-
zens, concluding his performance with a
savage attack upon a young man named
Henry Loez, who has made an affidavit,
upon the strength of which Mr.. Ryan will
probably find that this country is not so
free as to allow men to beattheir wives and
neighbors dd HbitttDt.

liz \ CHIPPEWA STREET CAR.-The subject
of Governor Warmoth's address to the pub.
lie gathering on Canal street was talked of
everywhere yesterday; on the streets, at
home, in stores, in saloons, in street cars
almost everywhere. While one of our friends
was going to his home last evening in car
on Chippewa street, no listened attentiyely
to the conversation of one or two loud
mouthed passengers, and while so doing,
not intruding himself, he was accosted by
the principal speaker in an insulting man
ner, and asked where he stood. The reply
was that he was not standlng-he was
sitting. Whereupon the irate passenger de-
elared that had the colored orator or any of
his friends been molested yesterday, there
would have been riot, shedding of blood,
general clearing out of carpet-baggers and
scalawags. He asked cur friend if he had

TIE TRIANGLE BUILDING DIFFICuLTY,-
Thomas Toomey or Tourney, mentioned in
another place Tor abusing Kate Kurphy,
turns out TO be the man who cut ana dan
gerously wounded Lawrence Collins in the
Triangle building on the eleventh ultimo.
1t seems that Collins was in company with
accused at the dance party, where it was
rumored that Collins, lately from Texas,
had considerable money about him, and
there is more than bare supposition that
he was stabbed for the purpose of murder
ing and robbing him. The stab which he
received was not deep enough to kill him or
prevent him from calling for assistance,
thus frightening off his assailants. The case
will have hearing on the tenth instant.
After Toomey had been incarcerated in
the central station, he made bold and
strong effort to escape. With the strength
of young giant he bent the thick bars
of his prison door SO far apart as to allow
him to pass through out into the main pas
sage way, thence upstairs unobserved.
Fortunately his escape was noted in a few
seconds after he left, and he was at once
arrested in the upper part of the building.
He made no resistance when rearrested, but
deplored. the fact that officers had grown
very particular of late-would not allow a
fellow to escape even after he had broken
iail,

SOMETHING TO COMPLAIN oF.-In the town
of Algiers there is a street called Madison
street. Formerly line of telegraph from
somewhere to somewhere else passed along
this street. The telegraph has been removed,
and the posts cut down; but so negligentiy
that right in the centre of the sidewalk an
unsightly remnant sticks up, to the great
danger of passengers on = dark night, es-

A Poor THIEF.-Mary Donelly, "mother
of three children and wife of one husband y
was tried for robbing H. Grow of small
sum of money, and the evidence being
against her she goes before the Criminal
Court. The prosecutor picked up Mary in
the street, and the twain soon got very
thick together, but when they parted Grow
discovered that $50 out of Sl7OO had disap-
peared. If Mary stole only $50 and left the
remainder she deserves to be imprisoned for
being such poor thief.

THE POLICE FORCE YESTERDAY. - Men
strong of arm and firm of will were alert in
every locality, fully prepared to preserve the
city's peace at the risk of their own limbs
ant; lives. Their instructions were few and
brief and they were fully aware of the more
than ordinary duties dependent on them.
Those in command wereipronpt to act aud
wide awake, knowing that the community's
safety was depending on their frmness.
Chief williamson and his aids, Lieutenant
Schneider and his specials, were and are
sleepless, while the other Lieutenants are
on the q,ti uiue, only waiting simple
notification that they are wanted for service
with their followers. Should they be called
on they will not play sluggard in responding.
An UNAITIGATED FALsRHooD.-Certain
Camp street journals, in giving an account
of the demonstration on Saturday night
last, made the statement that the crowd of
colored men were led by Mr.. Wicklitfe, the
State Auditor, who was seen urging them
forward against Rollins. There is not one
word of truth in the assertion. Mr.. Wick
life, at the time the disturbance occurred,
was making 3 speech at a club meeting in
the eighth ward, and knew nothing Of the
affair until Sunday morning, when he saw
his name mentioned as one of the rioters'
This statement is true, and can be proven
| By numerous witnesses.

SUPPOSED ARSON .--Lieutenan Madden
and Special Dumas were not slow in ,ook,
ing after the fire last Saturday night. When
the alarm was given they were near the
place, corner Felicity and Rampant streets.
On entering but little or no fire was visible,
bat a seconds search discovered a cigar.box
partly filled with fat pine and other com.
bustibles which evidently had not been in
flames more than two or three minutes, as
the pine was but slightly charred. Through
some cause unknown an alarm was given
before any fire had been seen, which was
the saving Of much valuable property and
perhaps human life. Lieutenant Madden,
for reasons, arrested ]. Alexander, the oc-
cupant of the house, and charged him with
arson. When searched loaded revolver
was found concealed on him, and of course
another charge was entered against him.
Accused, who is a small man, with heavy
black beard, told SO many tales concerning
the matter that he not only confused him
self but made suspicion stronger against
him. He was yesterday arraigned before
Judge Jackson, but declaring himself not
prepared for trial, the case was postponed
until tomorrow.

REIGN OF TERROR IN MISSISSIPPI
Extract from the letter of delegate to
the late constitutional convention of Mis-
sissippi, dated July IS;
"The Constitution has been defeated
by about 5000 votes-dcfeated by the
most audacious rascalities ever perpetrat-
cd in an election on this continent. Had
every man been permitted to have gone
up and voted his sentiments without fear,
the constitution would, honestly believe
have been ratified by 10000 majority.
Prejudices and wicked passions have got
such complete control of this people that
the life of Union man is in constant
danger. Not only so, but such are be-
ing wickedly mobbed and murdered in
different quarters of the State. Only q
day or two since, B. III. Orr, delegate
from Harrison county, was foully MUIR
dered by political adversary. For my
own part, have been notified time and
time again to change my quarters, else |
would be missing. Such is the state of
affairs that, unless there is strong pro-
liability of change for the better soon,
l must leave"

A contemporary tells of farmer
who has every day additions to the num-
Der of his chickens, and can only ac-
count for the increase by supposing that
the heat Of the sun matches the eggs in
the hay-mow in his barn.
- Mr.. Obed Jones of Canton, Mass,
was found dead in his bedroom on the
9th of July, with pistol near him. He
was supposed to have committed suicide,
butsubsequently Mrs. Madden CHS moth
er-in-law) and his wife were arrested for
numbering him, and the evidence is said
to be very strong against them.
Last year circular giving sixteen
reasons against Gen. Grants nomination
was falsely attributed to friends of Mr..
Colfax; whereupon he promptly and ut
terly repudiated it, denouncing it as I'M
just and untruthful. The democratic
papers, for lack of better material, have
lately revived it, and it is now running
through their country press.
"A clerk of the East India Company
explained an absence from his duties by
the following note to his superior: "Hon-

Their to say The breadth of paper be-
ing short have planned the boil small,

PAINFUL CASE OF SUICIDE--A most
painful case of suicide occurred at New
buryport, Mass, on Friday of last week,
in the death of Ada, an adopted daugh-
ter of Hiram Wood. She was pupil in
the Putnam School and was expecting to
graduate day or two since, but failing
to receive diploma her disappointment,
together with family difficulties, was so
great that she purchased some arsenic
and swallowed sufficient quantity to
produce death within a few hours after
the examination of the school. She was
seventeen years of age, very estimable
and talented, and her sad death has
caused the deepest sorrow in the whole
community.
