CUTTING AFFAIR ON SUNDAY.-WilIiam
HardSroge, a notorious young colored
scamp, was arrested Yesterday for unlaw-
fully and teloniollsly cutting Ferdinand
Ncwsom while III the bar-room of the New
Found Out, on Main street. Hardgroye
and NeWSom met there. and difficulty en-
sued, during which the former drew his
favorite weapon "a razor)a and gave Newsom
dangerous swipe across the body, Just
below the breast bone. The affair was made
known to one Of the city detectives, who
ascertained that HardgrOye was dcpositor
in the Freedmen's Savings Bank in this citv.
Thinking the fellow might attempt to draw
out his money and leave, the officer station
ed himself in the neighborhood of the bank
and kept sharp lookout for him. After 8
o'clock yesterday two of Hardgrovc's
friends presented themselves in succession
at the bank and demanded his money. But
it could only be given to Hardgrove indi-
vidualy and when the fact was made
known to him, be came up to the counter
prepared TO prove his check, and draw out.
No sooner had lie gotten in than the officer
took him in charge, and conducted him to
the First police station, where he will re-
main until this morning, when Justice
White will look into the matter.

TUESDAY. ....SEPTEMBER II, 1871.
THE CIRCULATION OF THE DISPATCH
Is LARGER THAN THE COMBINED CIR
CULATION OF ALL THE OTHER DALEY
NEWSPAPERS OF THE CITY.

FrRE-EXTINGuIsHER.-M Spaulding
& Guy, of this city, have been engaged du-
ring the past week in placing the new steam
/" iire.eXlinguisher in the oyster steamers
Virginia and Taylor. They expect to place
the eXtinguisher in the Tredegar du-
ring the present week.
An order was issued from Washington
on the first of January requiring all steam
vessels to use the eXtiDguisher," but tue
order was not received here until recently.
The Westfeld explosion seems to have
stirred up the officials, and every precau-
tion is now being taken to prevent recur-
renee OF steamboat disasters.
The "frc-extinguisher" consists of pipes
so arranged as to lead TO the boiler, extend
iug from bulkhcad to bulkhead below the
decks. These pipes have holes six feet
apart, through which the steam may escape
in case of fire; and, pcrmeating every
part of the ship where the cargo Is stored,
etiectually and almost instantly eXtinguish
a fire. A valve is placed on the pipes, pre-.
venting the escape of steam until it Is need
ed to cXtinguish q fire. Bv turning the
valve the steam escapes through the holes
in the pipes. A fire originating in vessel
loaded with cotton or other inhammable
substances may thus be eXtinguished in q
very short time.
MS Is Truly viluhDle Ill'cullon, gnu
materially lessons the dangers attending
travel by sca.-NorJoik Journal.
rThe Journals allusion to the Westfeld
disaster induces us to ask it whether this
cxtinguisher is meant to prevent explo-
sions of boilers? If not. we cannot gee that
it would be even usefuliin extlnguishing a
fire after an explosion of steamboat boiler;
for all the steam escaping by the explosion
there would be none for distribution
; through the pipes. Nay, they would re-
! main stopped up, as no one could turn
the valve at such time.-DiSpatch.l

REpAIE1Na PoLIcE-SrATIoN.-Wo ork-
men were engaged yesterday in tearing
down the old paper in the Chiefs office
and otherwise preparing to put that por-
ton of The First polce-station in thorough
order. Preparations are also being made TO
commence work on the cells and the office
in the station. house. We have seen plan
of the proposed improvements, which will
not only make the place TO which it is con-
tempated being removed the Odd-Fellows,,
FIall) comfortable tor the officers and all
others connected with the court, but enable
Justice White to understand intelliglbly
what q witness says, which is now lmpossI--
tle on account of the noise, which is almost
denfening. The Old Market Hall isa very
large room, and is warmed in the winter by
n stove about tbe size of O good-s!zcd
" stoye-pipe hat" and if the court is not
removed, something will have to be done in
order to make the place habitable during
the sessions Of the court after winter sets IN.

WHY THE CoLoRED OFFICERS WERE
SSUBBED AT THE LONG BRANCH BALL.-Maj.
Lewis Gaul and Cspt. Watkins, OF the Sc
cond Battalion Massachusetts Colored Vol
,lnteer Militia, received cards OF invitation
to attend the grand civil and military ball
at Long Branch, on Monday evening. On
presenting themselves ut the hotel, the col
orcd officers were met by 4 Mr.. Renuic,
who wished 10 know whether they had
been positively invited. The cards Of lnql-
tation were thereupon produced. Mr. Ben
uic, who was greatly excited, said that it
would be unpleasant to receive them, as
the ladies we're much alarmed. Further
more, Dir. Rennic said President Grant
was expected, and he would be greatly dis
pleased at the presence OF colored persons
in the room. Maj. Lewis Gaul and Capt.
Watkins retired.
The above is the New York Suns story.
The Standard, Of that city, however, puts
a different complexion on the stfair, as fol.
lows:
"The morning papers have been giving
currency TO q story relative to the two col.
orcd officers, Of Boston, who attempted'
TO g,in entrance to the ballroom. In JUS
tice to these gentlemen, let me state that
their tickets OF admission were sent them
through III oversight, and that they them
selves were mistaken as to the nature OF
the event. AS soon as they discovered this,
they quietly retlred.'
[rhis is curious. \ very adroitly quiet
affair indeed. Why was it an q" oversight !"
to send these "gallant officers" tickets! !!
4 most remarkable "ovcrsight." We sus-
poet the "otlicers" see it, and are Of
opinion that North or South it Is all one

A MURDERER MAKES CONFESSION AND
CHOOSES HIS observation-disclosures Ehomp-
son, arrested for the murder OF his en-
pl0yer, VIM. r. Crippcn. of Potosi, Mo-,
has confessed his crime. He makes no men-
tion of any money OH the person OF Grip
pen at the time, us an inducement TO the
murder, nor that any had been taken nc
his pockets subsequent to the commission
of the crime. Outside those statements.
however, he repeatedly assured Sheriff
Clarke that Crippcn must have had upon
his person ut the time somewhere from
$3.50 to $500. and that, if any one got 1t at
the time of the murder. ii must have been
Mitchell, when he dragged the body from
the road into the bushes. He also stated
to that officer that all the money he had on
the trip with Crippen was Sc that he hld
cot the latter TO advance him and yet the
fact is susceptible Of proof that he did eX-
pend S2l for suit Of clothing IN Jackson
bort, ON bis flight, Immediately after The
murder, Thompson was readily Identified
along the route, and at Doniphan. by Va
1iol,S citizens, as the travelling companion
of the murdered man, and the one who had
been seen engaged in earnest conversation
with Mitchell at Warm Springs, at Hams
house, at various places in DOniphan, and
lust before leaving that place.
Before arriving at Doniphan in custody
las: Thursday, the prisoner spoke in terms
of the utmost levity and indifference of the
fact that he expected to be hanged for the
murder Of Crippen, only expressing sollcl,,
tude that he might have Il fair trial, ana
that, if such should be his fate, Sheriff
Clarke would come down from Potosl ana
perform that little friendly act for him.
