A desperate Shooting affray took place

William Devine, bar-tenders, and per-
son called Cap, were passing through
Mercer street, when one Of them was
attacked by another party, including
one Theodore Gardiner, a broker, re
siding at Inwood, on the Hudson.
Blows were struck and pistol shots
fired. Anderson and Devine were both
shot in the thigh, and Gardiner was hit
in the temple, side, and hand. The lat
ter's injuries are said to be mortal. An
derson may also die, but Devine's inju-
.ries are not serious. Gardiner's compan-
ion, who is said to have fired the shots,
escaped.

The New York Press ON the Supplement

Inc New OrA Press on the Supplemem-
tai Treaty Article.
The Times says that the vote in the
Senate in favor of the negotiation of the
supplemental treaty article brings a feel
ing of intense relief, and it cannot be
objected to by England, and the final
settlement may be considered certain
The Senate has earned the gratitude of
the mercantile community, and a ma
jOrity of the Senators have acted in SYM
pathy with the great class of people who
wished the treaty to succeed.
The Herald pronounces the Senate's
action a national humiliation, and ques-
tiOns whether the people will accept the
amended treaty as final settlement of
the account with England. A treaty Sc
cured by the humiliation Of one of the
parties can never be productive of good,
and this one has been maintained by
wringing from Americans a disgraceful
concession, a result brought about by a
corrupt lobby pressure. The settlement
is between two administrations, not be-
tween two nations. England, however,
may yet reject the amended article, for
the surrender must be unconditional,
and the matter is not altogether disposed
