/ Wnlle on our way To the Office this
morning we saw, as usual, crowd Of me-
groes collected on Thirteenth street, be.
tween Washington and Commercial ave.
nues. There was an unusual CONNIE o.
ton among them, the cause Of which
we soon discovered. On the slope OF the
street MI . negro man land he was III e
raggedest, flthiest creature we ever saw
had another negro man down upon his
back showering blows into his face that
made him see more stars than there are
In the milky.way. The mother OF the
under negro In the fight" was present,
and invoked divers and sundry horror.
upon the head Uf the "negro on top but
this he "poohed" at as nonsense. He
had business In hand and he was de-.
termined to transact II In a business like
manner So he Knocked the "under
negro" first on one side OF the head and
then on the. other, and then he would
give him n Tremendous thump on his
"snuff-tray"-ail Of which seemed fun
for him, but II was almost death 10 the
other. How long they had been enjoy.
Ing this early morning exercise, we are
not prepared 90 say, butas We were In.
formed as far up town as Eighteenth
street, that two negro men were fighting
on Thirteenth, Ills probable they com.
menced as soon as II was light enough
for each TO deiermiue tina. he had met
the man "hs'd been looking for.m AT
our near approach they separated, the
under negro considerably bruised aud
beaten.

what Pr.st. ID L. Ph,i,,.. ..,.


ID. L.Phillips, Esq, PRESIDENT Of the
Bellevilie and Southern illinois railroad,
writes letter 60 the DuQuoin Tribune
In which he answers an editorial asser-
ton OF the Cairo Bulletin TO the effect
that 1.-THE extension Of that road 70 Du-
Quoin Is looked upon - q remote con-
tingency." He says: "Whatever may
be said, II Is our present purpose TO ex-
tend the Bellcville and Southern Illinois
roilfoad beyond the town OF Athens and
to DuQuoin as speedily a. means and
human hands can accomplish that
result
We have no hostility to this road as q
81. Louis and Du Quoin enterprise. Our
remarks were called out by an article In
the st Louis 'Democrar which spoke OF
II AZ through route that was TO isolate
Cairo from the stream Of travel between
the South and Northwest, and to obvlate
all general necessity for the building of
the Cairo and 81, Louis railroad.
We hope the road may be speedily ex-
tended to Du Quoin; but when Mr.. Phil.
lips says that 1t ",ciU Be extended to that
point AS speedily as means and human
hands can effect the result,'' he speaks
eItravagantly. The only means provid-
ed so far Is the subscription Of Perry
county, $4,000. Hence, II remains for
this company 10 raise at least half mil
Hon OF dollars before the whole line can
be put under contract. AS large bodies
move slowly 1t Is reasonable to suppose
that months viii elapse before vigor-
Gus start can be made. As to the exten.
sion Of the road beyond Du Quoin to Pa.
ducah, Mr.. Phillips, who 10 q very san.
guine and ardent gentleman, has said
nothing that alters our previous estimate
Of affairs In the least. No one OF the
present gensration viii live 10 see II.

"Barrett's" Is unsurpassed.


There was some excitement I'm the nm.
per portion Of the city, shortly after
dark last night, occasioned by the pur-
suit Of mad dog. The dog was large
black one, belonging to q butcher, and
presented unquestionable evidences OF
hydrophobis. A half dozen men and
twice thatnumberof boys were In hot
pursuit OF him, but whether they dis
patched him or not We did not learn. He
received shot through the body, but as
he was subsequently seen passing down
Washington avenueat galIop, with no
one In chase but,twO ar three negro boys,
we are apprehensive that he made good
his escape. This Is a commencement.
Let the public now be on their guard.

A Little Boys Leg Brokcn rw,ee in III.

Several weeks ago while Mr.. Thomas
Porter's little son John, was playing
about frame house which was being
moved along Washington avenue at the
time, his leg was cought in some of the
timbers and the bone badly broken. A
physician was called, set and splintered
the leg, and the boys recovery was as
rapid and satisfactory as was look for
under the circumstances Day before
yesterday the splints were removed from
the leg, the physician leaving directions
that the boy should be kept quiet as pos
sibie for the period Of eight or ten DAYS.
by which time the recovery would be
complete. They boy, restless little fell
low, no sooner found himself restored to
means oflocomotion than he CONNIE n ced
employing them as boys, are apt too.
He walked out into the yard, but had
been there but short time when he fell
from, fence upon which he had clam
bered, his whole weight falling upon
his healing leg. The IA % was again
snapped, and the little fellow Is now In a
worse condition than ever. The physi-
clan was recalled, the leg again splin-
tered, andS once more johnny enters
upon long aud tedious term OF confine-
ment. He is quite small, aud, az stated,
only eight years Of age; yet small and
young as he Is the physician attending
to his case has been called In upon four
distinct accasions to set broken bones for
him!

ConniYing at Rascality.

Some strange things occur in connection
with crimes committed in various parts of
the country-the latest of which is the re-
cent heavy bond robbery in Philadelphia.
The circumstances connected with the rob
berry of over 81 900, 600 in bonds money and
securities from the Beneficial Savings Fund
Society, In that city, remain as much mys
terry as ever, although some of the stolen
bonds have been returned. No information
can be obtained by the most indefa;igable
reporters from the officers of the institution
or the detectives that have the working
up of the affair, in relation to either who
committed the robbery, or from whom the
returned bonds were obtained. The amount
of bonds recovered reach somewhere between
100000 and 100000. They were return
ed to the officers of the institution by de-
tective, but the President states that he has
no knowledge from whom the detective OBJ
tanned them. The thieves only obtained
about $62 900 in negotiable bonds, making,
with the $S, 200 in greenbacks stolen, about
$50, 900 to reward them for th. memorable
Sunday labor. The institution will resume
business shortly, as they hold large number
of mortgages on some of the best properties
in Philadelphia. The detectives, it SEE ms,
know who the robbers are-or at least are
in communication with them-and the action
of the bank officials and the police looks
very much like compounding felony. This
is not the only instance in which ''compro-
mise" of this sort was effected between po-
lice officers aud robbers. within the last few
years. Such transactions should meet the
unqualified condemnation of ali upright cit
izens-being nothing less than the offering
of premiums for the commission Of the most
henious crimes.

The Registry Law.


The new Registry Law passed by the last
Legislature, is a matter of importance to the
people generally, and as such all should be
familiar with its provisions. The law, as it
passed the Legislature, contains forty-three
sections, but the first twenty one are only of
general character-the remainder having
reference only to the city of Philadelphia.
The propriety of some measure to check the
progress of fraudulent voting is an admitted
necessity by fair men of all parties, and the
new law has been drafted to meet this want
1t is probable that the experience of few
years will suggest changes and Improvements
in it, but the principle of careful registra-
tion of voters will always be retained One
Of the best features of the new law are the
guards it provides to prevent the polling Of
fraudulent naturalized votes, and the severe
punish ment imposed on ballot box suffers,
repeaters, etc. The Assessors are required
to commence making the registration OF
voters on the first Monday in June, and TO
complete and make public their lists on OF
before the first of August Some provision
should be made for the publication of the
law, for the benefit of the whole people

New Railroad Project.

Several years ago, the question of Rail
Clearfeld, was tavorably spoken of in these
columns, but the subject met with but little
favor from our citizens then. Now the ques-
ton of building the road is again agitated.
The Pittsburg Commercial Of Friday last
contains the following item on the subject
of this road: "a general railroad conven-
- ton to be composed of delegates from
New York, Maryland, Washington city, and
" the counties of Blair, Huntingdon, Centre,
Mexican, Cameron and Elk, in this State,
- favorable to the ST. Marys route for the
Buffalo and Washington Railroad, will be
held in the Borough of st Marys, on
Wednesday, May 18th, 1862" By refer
ence to a map it viii be seen that Clearfield
lies nearly on an r-line between the two
terminating points of this proposed road.
To say nothing Of the benefits to be derived
from the construction OF SO great and i'm
portant thoroughfare through our county,
the fact just stated should alone be sufficient
to stimulate our citizens to active exertion
to secure the building of the road to this
place. Hence, we hope, our influential men
will at once arouse to action, call public
meeting, appoint delegates to the st. Mary
convention, present the feasibility of this
route, and use every honorable means to
have the road located to Clearfield Now
is the time. There must be no delaying.
Next Wednesday is the day for the assem-.
bling of the Convention. Then arouse and
act at once, or it will be too late.
