POLICE ITEMS.-Geo. Mantillo, who
was arrested yesterday evening by officer
Myers, charged with shooting w. j. Mays,
keeper of a saloon on Franklin street, had a
hearing this morning, when the accused
was bailed in the sum of 81 500 for fur
ther examination on Tuesday morning next.
Officer Myers was in the house when the
shooting was done, and the evidence, so far,
indicates that it was accidentally done.-
DIR. Carter, who attended the wounded man,
testified that the ball entered the right
breast, just below the collar-bone, and
glanced upward, thus missing vital parts.
He does not deem the wound at all danger
Gus, and thinks Mays will be able to ap-
pear in court on Tuesday. The ball was
not extracted.
h. V. Palmer was arrested last evening
by Detective Dan Wren, on the charge OF
forging the name of w. b. Peasants to an

examination of the case the accused was
sent on to the grand jury for indictment
and bail refused.

rested by Captain Disney. He was drunk

"HoPE springs eternal in the human
breast" would be a most appropriate
motto for the Wing.
No sooner has the smoke Of conflict
cleared away and result of elections in
Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Indiana demon
strated the utter defeat of G~reeleyism in
those important States, and foretold a
more disastrous rout of its motley cohorts
in November, than tho arithmetician of the
Whtig grasps his pen and attempts to work
out the problem that 0 plus 0 equals a VIC
torious quantity. 1t has passed into an
adage that to extract sunbeams from Gu
cumbers" is an impossibility in physical
science, but the Whig accomplishes the
feat in political science, and from defeat in
every State where the Greeley fraud has
tried conclusions with the record of the
Administration it succeeds in figuring up
202 electoral votes for the philosopher of
Chappaqua, as within reach without
Pennsylvania, Ohio, or Indiana" 1t is
somewhat remarkable that no mention is
made of the fact these three States were
only a few days ago claimed as sure for
Greeley. Now they are classed as sour
grapes, not worth climbing for.
If the Greeleyites are so very confident,
why did the offer which stood so long in
u columns fail to induce one of them to
accept the wager?

MULTUM IN PARvo TRoUPE.-The
Macarthys, Logrenia and O'Reardon,
composing the "Multum in Parvo Troupe"
of extraordinary performers, embracing
comedy, dancing, vocal and instrumental
music, slight.of-hand tricks, &C., will open
at the Assembly Hall. in this city, on FRI
day evening next, and give two perform
ances. This troupe m to us highly re-
commended for their versatility and apt de-
lineation of character and fine attainments
as musicians. Foreign as we'll as American
journals speak of them as being artists of
great genius. One of the novelties of their
entertainments is Prof. O'Reardon's "Tum-
bleronlcon," a new specimen of musical
glasses, upon which he performs with his
right hand while accompanying himselfupon
the piano-forte. Ordinary glass goblets are
used, and they are tuned by a certain guam
tity of water being poured into each glass.
We once listened to some very sweet music
evoked from ordinary bricks by a skillful
hand. and our curiosity is aroused concern
ing O'Reardon's water-lute. The troupe
will, no doubt, attract large audiences on
Friday and Saturday nights.

RICHMOND THEATRE.-Miss Jean Hos
mer closed her second weeks engagement
Saturday night. AS we have already an
nounced she is to be succeeded by Miss
May Saville, who will appear tonight, sup
ported by Miss Alice Stanley, Mr.. E. f.
Thorne and Vining Bowers, and the entire
strength of the home company. The
engagement of these artists is for three
nights only. EILEEN Oge," a thrilling
Irish drama, will be produced tonight.
The characters in the piece are, for the
most part, farmers; the plot full Of bright,
joyous, moral action and one scene, j n
particular, in the second act, represents a
bayfield, and merry groups of haymakers
dancing nimbly and DANGEROUSLY through
and around hillocks of new-mown hay /!
A drama pure and fresh as this-in which
you can almost smell the breezes offsthe
Limerick mountains-a play which leads
you into hayfields and pastures, and COM
pells you to wander in the pleasant sun
shine accompanied by a warm hearted peo-
pie, is surely a welcome change from the
heavier scenes of dramatic representation.

FROM ALL POINTS

IN DIANA.

The Majorities for Governor In the Whole
State.
Indianapolis, nd, October 11.-Of1cial
majorities are received for Hendricks from
Harrison county, 4s6, and Spencer county
4S. The only counties to hear from Off
cially now are Ohio and Starke. The first
will give Browne about 100, and the latter
will not be 80 either way.
The official majorities on the whole vote
already in after making slight corrections
in former official reports, owing to errors
in t~elegraphing, are as follows: Browne,
22,62O; Hendricks, 2 3.457. Browne runs
behind his ticket an average of about twen-
ty in each county, and in twenty counties
on remainder of Republican State ticket,
all of Hendricks majority is destroyed. >

had promised a highfalutin old time. The
result was a slender affair convened in the
courthouse. Col. Goodwin, Major Lee,
Major Gregory and the irrepressible DR..
Reeves conducted the funeral. The last
mentioned gentleman blew the New York
Trombone with much gusto. Several cham
pions of our cause were present, among
whom were Messrs. Ramsdell, Tapley,
Doggett, and others and o proposal was
made by MI. Ramsdell and your humble
servant to divide the time in fair debate
for the enlightenment of the people. This
was agreed to, under conditions very ia
vorable to them, we only being allowed
one hour out of four. Even from this they
blusteringly backed out. | cannot here
forbear a quotation from the grafton of
the immortal Rives: 81 will use anything
to beat Grant with. If the devil himself,
from the internal regionsssmelling of brim-
him sooner than Grant" (All this with
clenched fist and most impressive CESS
ticulation.) Seeing we could have no fair
show in the courthouse, we proceeded
to organize q meeting outside, which was
eloquently addressed by Messrs. Ramsdell,
Tapley and Doggett, at least four-ffths Of
the people gathering around our stand, and
evidencing great enthusiasm for Grant and
Wilson and Plat. In this connection let
me add that we had a large and enthusiast
tic meeting at City Point, on the previous
evening, forcibly addressed by Mr.. Morgan,
of Petersburg. The hall was full, and not
a whisper for the hero of Chappaqua-all
giving a thorough endorsement of our can
didates. Prince George is safe enough
count us at least eight hundred majority in
advance. Ever truly,

AKNoTTY CASE FOR SETTLEMENT IN
CoURT.-Some of the New Hampshire
lawyers are at present puzzling their brains
over a case which is soon to be decided in
one of the courts of the State. A short
time since the dead body of q man named
Samuel Jones was found in the woods of
Wentworth. The deceased, it appears,
had one son, who is also dead. A consid-
cradle property remains to be enjoyed by
the heir or heirs. Now it SO happens that
the death of the son occurred in December
last !; whether the father died before or
after that date cannot be determined by the
evidence so Reproduced. If the father died
first, then the estate would descend to the
son, and from him to a half-brother named
Campbell. Whereas, if the son died first,
the estate would go to the brothers and
sisters of the father.
