now concealed omewhere in this city. TIE ST.

with no success, as Fouester's pals will not

ATTEMPTED BURGLARY IN MARKET STREET.
Two of the Insurance Patrol, named James
Verden and George Stilman, yesterday morn
ing between and o'clock, heard the noise of
footsteps in the silk and notion store of Messrs.
Watson u Janney, No. 1923 Market street. The
police were Immediately notified, and the pre-
mises were examined, but as no place was dis
covered whereby the thieves gained entrance,
the search was given up. At o'clock, however,
two men were seen to jump from the second
story window to a shed, and from thence to the
yard of a stable in the rear. The follows told
plausible tale to the liverystable man, and as he
was not aware at the time that they had come
from the silk establishment, they we're allow ed
to go on their way. When the premises were
examined, two valses packed with silk pat
terms, gloves, etc, were found, together with a
dark lantern and jimmy. The thieves had
gained admittance to the place by a trap-door in
the roof, Had they not been disturbed, all of
Sunday would have been allowed them for ope-
rations, and Sunday night might have observed
an extensive burglary.

two occasions, that the latter had conspred in
the attempt to murder Revenue Detective

TOUCH STRUGGLE WITH DRUNKEN MAN.
James eladhill was drunk at the Chestnut Street
Bridge last night, and disposed to fight every
body. Officer McGranigan, upon attempting to
arrest him, came very near being thrown over
into the Schuylkill by the infuriated Gladhill.
The physical energy of the drunken man was
somewhat diminished by crack on the head
with the policeman's club. After a lively tusse
Gladhill was overcome, the nippers placed upon
him, and he was taken to the station house.
Alderman Randall held him to bail.

OUR WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENTS
WASHINGTON, D. G., Oct. 4

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Oct. A.
Secretary Boutwell, has returned from
Ohio. He reports everything as favorable
for large Republican majority there on
Tuesday next.
The Republican paper at Leesburg, Lou
doun county, is offered for sale. An active,
energetic gentleman, with some experience
as writer, might do well with this paper.
The locality is one of the best in the State.
A few months ago man by the name of
Darden shot and killed, on the avenue In
this city, man named McCarty. McCarty
was reformed gambler, and was the re-
puted husband of Miss or Mrs. Milwood,
formerly of your city. The murder was
regarded as q premeditated affair, and all
the evidence on the part of the better class
of witnesses in the case sustained this gen.
eral impression. Contrary to all expecta-
ton, after a weeks hearing Of the case,
Darden was acquitted on Monday last.
In connection with this finding of the
jury, is an ugly rumor to the effect that
$4,000 was raised by the gambling frater-
nifty of the country, to be used in securing
the acquittal of Darden. Darden is gam
bier, and it is the general belief that Nc
Carthy met his death because of his sup
posed connection with raids of the police on
some of the moro noted dens in this city.
Darden has been temporarily lodged in the
insane asylum, but he don't play crazy
'worth cent? Miss Milwood has de-
clared her intention of melting out punish
ment to Darden herself.
Since the accession of Governor Holden
to the editorial corps of the Washington
Chronicle, that paper has greatly improved
in every respect. The Governors journals
were always models in typographical ap-
pearance.

SIGNIFICANT.-There is great signif-
cance in the articles of the Wing of yestei-
day and the Dispatch of to-day, advising
the selection, in place of Judge Meredith,
of man of equal ability and character.
The Wing wants man nominated ac-
cording to all the formalities, so there
may be no complaints such as we have
heard in regard to some of the nomina-
tions;" while the Dispatch wants one who
"stoops not to petty eIectioneering, and
midnight wire-working."
The ticket has lost Judge Meredith, be-
cause he was above the tricks of pot-house
politicians, and having lost him, it needs
another as good to leaven the whole.
A ticket born in sin and iniquity, as inti-
mated by these journals, and as charged by
those who seem to know, can only be puri-
fed by its utter defeat.
The people of this district will settle the
question with this Democratic trickery,
while no man it can select to take the place
of Judge Meredith will have the power to
save it from condemnation at the bar of
public opinion.
