THE LATE POLITICAL ARRAY.

ARA gnment OF Owncy Geoghcgan mud
ssCIipper" Hcnnessy at Essex Market
Court Yestcrtiay-They arc Held Under
$1,000 Bail.
AS choice crowd OF roughs as ever graced
police court or disgraced great city came throng
ing into Essex Market Court about ten O'Clock yes
terday morning. Some OF them had red shirts and
some of them little Of any kind Of shirt, but all Of
them had hard battered looking countenances and
vlanous looking eyes.
The occasion Of this select gathering was the
arrangement of the notorious Owney Geoghcgan
and william (alias "Clippcr'D Hennessy, for
fcloniously assaulting Michael J. McNally, one OF
the Tammany inspectors OF primaries in the Eigh-
teenth ward. The cause and description OF the
ARRAY was fully reCOunted In yesterdays issue.
McNaly, who was supposed to be fatally injured,
was able to appear ana make his formal complaint
before Judge Scott.
He is slight built but very wry looking man,
about twenty-six years OF age and has good, regl-
lar features and very intelligent face. lie was well
dressed and quite composed in manner. The top
of his head and forehead were covered with band
ages and In his overc0at, rockcoat, vest and shirt
were the marks OF the bullet fired from the pistol OF
John O'Connell, alias "Coach.n The course of the
deadly missile was directly over his heart, and was
only arrested by the amount OF cloth and padding
it had to pass through. AS IT was, 1t just graZcd
the skin.
While McNally was making his complaint Hen
messy and Geoghegan were joking and laughing,
and had to be reminded two or three times TO be-
have themselves. They were perfectly iasOucidnt
to the result, knowing Iull Wen, perhaps, tnat
help was near at hand.
The Judge placed Hennessy under a., OO0 bail and
Geoghegan under $1,000. This bail was almost i'm
mediatey furnished by Mr.. Michael Moore, of 225
East Twenty first street.
When Mr.. Geoehegan was placing his name on the
bond, in dulcet tones half smothered with bad
whiskey he informed the clerk, MI Steers, "What !!
me touch that young feller Why he is a consump-
tive; I'd rather save him from lickin' than touch
him. Peter Woods and John Woods bought him
big navy revolver the other day and they're sendin'
him aroun' raisn rows; he'll git killed before he's
much oder.n
After delivering himself OF this speech the bold
Owney staggered out Of the court room seeming
the place as he went. During the rest of the
ing several friends called to see him, and among the
number were Cooley Reyes and Lou Baker, who
seemed very much interested in Owney's fate.
John O'Connell has not yet been arrested; but
officers OF the Eighteenth expect to have him be-
fore to morrow.

of some prominence from most of the counties were
present, but the meeting was not large enough to
get UP much enthusiasm, and the proceedings
were rather dull. Governor Bradford. on taking
the Chair, made speech full OF gttering
generalites in Which lie deprecated the general
decentralization in the administration OF the govern
ment under General Grant, and said that, while the
meeting was not large, II all the signs OF the times
were not utterly iallacous 1t was the nucleus OF

coming campaign
No resolutions were passed or instructions to
delegates given; but there is no room for doubt
that the entire strength Of the State will be thrown

-. CLEVELAND. Ohio. April "a, 1872.
very large meeting Of German liberal fennnh
cans was held here this evening. Resolutions were
adopted, in substance, as follows:-We are deter
mined to support the Cincinnati Convention + It's
platform and candidates guarantee a good
administration. Any endeavor compelling the
party to vote for Grant must be emphatically
resisted, and the right of opinion must be main
tanned. Parties are not the end, but the means OF
advancing to something better, and II they make
the public welfare subservient to personal interest
then they must be opposed. The friends OF General
Grant rdcule the desire of the people for reform,
but In vain. Reform has become the watchword of
the day. and in course of time win overcome every
opposition, and will carry out every necessary
measure, ana especially the ineigibility Of
the President to second term, as this Ia
considered the main source Of corruption. In order
that capacity, honesty and moral dignity may be-
the pillars of the republic the strength Of this
liberal movement is based on the fact that II de-
sres to achieve moral ends, and is aspiring to
realize wholesome principles. Its justification is
shown by history and particularly by the action
and attitude Of the leaders and organs of the Grant
party.
A large number OF speeches were made, all enthu-
sastic for the liberal movement. Twenty delegates
wer appointed to the Cincinnati Convention, en-
bracing in the list the leading Germans Of the city,
