were both detained by the police, and a force
sent to quell the disturbance.
The two policemen who had been first sent
to watch the SCANNED gang, when the firing
commenced, made haste to the premises and
arrested all but the two above named, who
had already gone to the station house. When
the police entered they found FLORENCE
SCANNED lying on the floor in front OF the
door to the back room, with Remington
six barreled revolver by his side fully load
ed. On the person Of JonN SCANNED was
found weapon precisely like that found
beside FLORENCE, with three chambers
empty. There had been three shots fired In
tho ypSlee three wounds inflicted, and here
was a weapon that had done precisely that
amount Of work. No other pistols were
found on any of the persons or on the prem
ises. Three or four bludgeons and some
bowie knives were also secured by the police.
The strongest part of the story, however,
il FLORENCE ScASNEL's statement TO officer
kEGEunAN, who was guarding him while be-
ing conveyed to the hospital. The officer asked
the wounded man who shot him. scANSEL re
piled: "If should reveal the name Of the
man who shot me, it would drive my family
TO destruction" 1t was not until long after
this that he made complaint charging Don
ouUE with shooting him. These are the
facts of the case as asccrtaincd at that time,
and after questioning all the participants
and witnesses of the ARRAY, and after n full
examination Of the premises. They are the
facts which we believe will be fully dcvel-
oped and proven on the trial, If any trial Of
the crime committed shall ever be had Their
Inconsistency with the statement Of SCANNED

The Prospects of the War.

Notwithstanding the apparently well
founded reports which came Yesterday of IN
amcable settlement Of the dispute between
France and Prussia, the French army may
be expected to cross the Rhine any day.
LOUIS NAPOLEON is determined TO make
war on Prussia sooner or later, aud it il Oh.
vously for his interest to strike blow before
his enemy is fully prepared, and before the
European powers can step in to put off the
irreprcssible conflict. He may have reasons
for obtaining a few days delay, but this is
no proof that he has abandoned his original
purpose.
The consequences Of the war cannot but
be serious, The recent interview between
the North German King and the Rus
sian Car AT Ems seems to have had in Wow
close alliance between tlesa powers, for the
purpose of meeting a contingency which las
now at length arrived BoAAPAurE having
been the first to rush TO arms Europe

of the peace, and organize condition

STA; 1t may not be amisS for me to make
very few remarks with regard to the romantic ad-
ventures Of Mr. lIenuessy, the artist.
Your correspondent of the 9Th of July who styles
hlmsSfa Roman Catholic would like to know IL a
Catholic iriest could celebrate marriage between
divorced wfs .and Catholic artist. Ii such
CORRESPONDENT were a Catholic which doubt. his
early training must have been sadly neglected tor
Mr.. Editor, every Catholic who IL not entirely ieuo
rant knows that such 8 marriage Il now, ever hle
been, and ever will be, considered by the Holy
Catholic Church as null ana void. Consequently no
priest could knowingly assiss at such q marriage,
unless sadly deceived by the interested parties
Many may, PERHAPS, have judged rstler harshly OF
the part played In the grand hnae OF he romantic
antics OF Mr.. llennessy, viz, ms nock marriage.
But even so, We forgive them. Their ignOrsne6 OF
y % circumstances will plead loudN In Aeir oelslf
They are, ourselves have beet- deceived.
What that the Church OF Christ could eyer tolerate
or sanction such thing as divorce. Nha that a
priest OF God could ever so far forget the teach
ings Of his divine master to favor fTee love God
forbid that such should ever be tho case We may
be bad enough in some things, bat thanE Coo We
have never yet been known to descend 80 low or
tons of the devil as free love or divorce

The Orange riot of yesterday embodies a

Affection in Diplomacy.

In one of his lately published dispatches to
Gen. SIcKLEs, the Hon. HAMILTON FIsH de-
clures that he respects the Spanish claim of
sovereignty in Cuba, notwithstanding ga
strong sympathetic pressure from without"
Mr. FISH, however, abstains from stating
his reasons for thus respecting the Spanish
claim. But everybody will understand his
silence. Does this abstinence proceed from
anything but delicate feeling of friendship
for his Assistant Secretary J. c. b. DAVIS,
formerly Of the Eric Railway, and delicate
feeling of regard for his sonin-law SIDNEY
WEBSTER, Spanish agent in New YORK, and
commission merchant for the purchase aud
sale Of Cuba?
1t docs not often happen that the tender
sympathics Of friendship and the gentle in.
fuence Of family affection thus soften the as.
perites of international controversy. The
world ct large must admire Mr.. FISH all the
more because he treats Spain so gingerly
out of regard for the pecuniary interests of
his son.n-law and his Assistant Secretary.
