SERIOUS RIOT AT MIDDLEBURS. VA cor
respondent of the Alexandria Gasetts. writing
from Mlddleburg. Va, August 18th, says "a
very serious affair occurred here YESTERDAY
SUNDAY in which Mr.. Charles Davis and about
SIX colored people were wounded. The colered
people We re holding an association at the time.
Mr. Davis was riding through the grounds. and
coming across eoiOred man by the name of
Charles Nsnley, with whom he had formerly
mad dlnienlty, ordered him to leave the ground.
Upon Msnley's refusing, firing immedi ateIy
commenced between the parties Manley assert
ing that Davis fred and Davis the contrary.
Manley's friends came to his assistance and
Fred about fifteen shots ut Davis, one of them
taklngef in his breast, iniicting q painful
but not dangerous wound Davis made his es-
cape from the ground pursued by about 100
eoiored persons, but fortunately they could not
oveI,ske him They became very turbulent in
the streets, threatening vengeance upon Davis
or any who abetted him. The mob was ad-
dressed by Col. Chancellor and brought 70 a
sense OF their duty. Joshua washinaton vas
sbot through the face and throat, and Is sup
posed to be dangerously wounded Two other
colored men and . woman, and probably Others
were wounded, but not seriously,

MIS- Brsdwell, OF Michigan, having been re-
fused admission to the bar BY a rule of the Su-
preme Court of that State, on the ground that
the English common law did not recognize wo-
man as admissible; that in the legal sense a
man is not a woman, although in the superior
sense a woman is man, has carried her case
up to the Supreme Court, with the plea that "a
wamen are already legally recognized as citi-
zens, they are, by the fourteenth amendment
entitled TO vote. inasmuch "a that amendment
expressly declares, as does also the Civic Rights
act, that no citizen shall be deprived of the
right Of suffrage. We shall now have the vo-
man suffrage question dealt with on a legal
footing.

Has Mcmahon been whipped again? Where
is Bazaine? Where is the Crown Prince?
Where is Prince Frederick Charles? These are
sfew Of the riddles that the kilograms to-day
fail to unravel. From German quarters il is
limited that Prince Frederick Charles has gone
to assist in little piece Of strategy calculated
70 annlhilate McMahon. The French war office
tells US, on the contrary, that Bazaine and
Mcmahon are stealing marches on the Crown
Prince, who is two days ahead OF Prince Fred
erick Charles. In view. however, of the result
OF the march stolen by McMahon on the Grown
Prince at Weissenburg, his present undertaking
certainly does not have the prestige of success.
especially as the joint forces of McMahon and
Bazaine, il is admitted, do not exceed 10000.
while at the same time they concede that the
Prussisns have not less than 500 900 at Rethel.
within easy striking distance of the French
forces in the field. Then if we deduct Bazaine,s
mythical 10, 200, II leaves but 10000 for
Mcmahon, and there certainly is nothing at all
calculated to induce the belief that Bazaine
has really effected his escape from Metz. And
defeat now for Mcmahon means a hopeless
defeat He Is crowded up against ths borders
OF Belgium, and has no possible way of retreat.
In case OF reverse, therefore, he must surrender.
IL seems to be thought in Paris that a great
battle has been commenced. Doubtless we
shall have stirring news ere long.

The New York papers are sharply censuring
the practice OF shooting suspected persons by
police officers in pursuit. In Brooklyn on Sat
urday an unknown man was detected stealing a
coat The officer who attempted to make the
arrest pursued the thief for few PAGES, aud
having vainly called upon the man to stop.
hred upon and killed him. IL is only a few
weeks since the same officer wounded a man in
a boat whom he suspected of being a river thief.
The practice is denounced as showing a reck-
less disregard of human life

PoULTICE PAvExESrs-They are irving
what Is claimed to be ga noiseless street pave
ment" in London called the patent asphalt. -
The New York Post thinks this "patent asphalt
sounds very much like the ''poultice pavement
OF the Fifth Avenue, and says If it be the same
short trial will suffice to condemn il. Pave
ments Of the asphalt or concrete style may,
however, succeed better under the cloudy skies
OF England than they do under the blazing sun
OF this country.

Hitherto the owners Of the pigs and the cows
and the geese pastured in the streets Of Wash
ington have had Ii all their own way in spite of
law or decency. And since Mayor Emery has
undertaken to enforce the law some of them
have had the assurance to send protests to the
Councils, asking that the law be repealed or
that sections Of the city be set apart for pastur-
age ground. They do not seem likely to receive
much countenance from that quarter Several
Of the Aldermen-Messrs.C Chase, Connolly, and
other-took occasion last night to characterize
the nuisance in proper terms. We trust that the
police will now feel encouraged to proceed with
tie execution of the Mayors order requiring
the enforcement OF the law. They have already
seized at least a dozen of the vagrant pigs and
geese, and If they proceed with zeal they may,
before they are gray-headed, make considerable
threads upon the thousands of animals at large
Ii is to be hoped they viii be, at least, able to
keep up with the natural increase, as the pas-
tursge, including all the gardens, grass-plats,
shrubbery and shade-trees of the CITY is barely
ample for the present stock.

BISMARCK, In social life, is genial and wittv.
Few would recognize In the brilliant converse
tonalist the veteran diplomatist. Nor would
the casual observer, who, without knowing the
man, listened to his spriehfiy bsdinage, realize
that this captivating pers.asy was the great
Administrator OF government and war, the

OF corruption ever attached to him. A trait

State Convention.

The democratic state convention meets at
Springfield next Wednesday, September l4th
The convention will have no important nomi-
nations to make, and will consequently have
the more time to devote to the work of effect
ing a thorough organization Of the party, and
preparing good, sound platform. The only
candidates to nominate are one for State
Treasurer and one for Congressman at large.
For the latter position we have yet seen no
one proposed. For State Treasurer the only
name we have seen mentioned is that of Chas.
Ridgcly, Esq, banker, of Springfield. MIR.
r. is one Of the oldest bankers in the state,
very popular at home, sustains an unblem.
isehd political record, is man of rigid in
tegrity and of great financial ability. The
convention in our humble opinion. can do no
better than to put his name on the state
ticket for the Office in question.

for our county fair, we are Obliged TO deter

render, the surrender including the Emperor
Napoleon and the prince imperial his son.
Meantime the government at Paris have de-
