The river here is eleven feet five inches

This year seems to be a most unusually
hot one everywhere. In India the heat has
been intOlerable, the thermometer, in sta
tions like Secunderabad-a hot place al
ways-marking occasionally 1919, and 1899
for fifteen continuous days. In Paris old
residents declare that they are grilling, and
can only live by bathing. From Brussels
we hear of 950 in the shade. In London it
has been $50, while the water in the public
baths, without any aid from furnaces, has
been 760,

SHOT WITH CLUE. - Late Thursday
night information was sent TO Superintend-
ent Badger that ID. Davis had been shot by
Policeman Brooks, of the sixth precinct. A
triding circumstance caused the statement
TO be discredited. 1t now comes out that
Davis was not shot. He was raising
rumpus on the corner of st. Mary and Full
ton streets, when the officer attempted to
arrest him. He resisted, and ran down to
the second precinct, where he made state
ment that he had been shot. During the
trouble on st. Mary street Captain Edge
worth asserts that shot was fred at him
(EdgewOrth), and that the powder burned
him. The captain is positive that if Davis
was shot the shooting was done with
club.

SECOND WARD Penn GUARDS COLORED
CLUB.-COlorcd citizens of the second ward
favorable to the Liberal State ticket assem-
bled in large numbers at their hall, on Mag
zine street, last night, to ratify the nOmina-
tions of the Liberal State convention. At
eight O'Clock the meeting was called to
order, Mr.. H. w. Murrell in the chair. Mr..
w. Wilson offered suita BILE resolutions re-
lating to and indor3ing the State and con-
gressional ticket and the candidates Of the
Cincinnati convention, and reafirming the
principles of the national Liberal platform.
The resolutions were unanimO usly adopted.
Mr.. F. d. Davis was the first speaker intro
duced. He gave an eloquent review Of the
political situation, followed by narration
of the causes that produced the existing
condition of affairs in our State and nation,
and pointedly showed that the Liberal
party was the great hope Of the future in
remedying the evils of our past political
situation, and the only party that promised
to the black man such rights as he is justly
entitled to, barring previous condition and
past affiliation.
Mr.. Washington, Mr.. William Smith Of
fered the following resolutions which We're
unanimously adopted:
WHEREAS, The regular Republican party
headed by MIR. Packard, having broken its
pledges to the colored people Of this State,
and has tried to create an animOsity be-
tween the black man aud the white, which
should not exist between the two great
races that inhabt this territory; be it
ReSolCcd That we, the cOlored citizens Of
the second ward do hereby repudiate and
denOunCe that party as. corrupt and taIa-
clous in its motives; and be it further
ResotUed, That we pledge ourselves to the
support of the Liberal State ticket, deeming
it alone worthy of our confidence, and recon-
mend these resolutions to the consideration
Of all honest and well meaning colored citi-
Zens.
At a late hOnr the meeting adjourned
amid cheers for the success Of Greeley and
Brown, and the candidates of the Liberal
party.

The opinion of the Attorney General was
Immediately telegraphed to the authorities
at Louisville by the War Department. and
this afternoon a dispatch was received from
the superintendent IN charge of the i'm
provGment saying that work had been re-
sumcd. The canal company are not, how
ever fully satisfied with the decision of the
Attorney General, and propose to take i'm
mediate steps to settle the disputed points
in the courts. United States District At
tOrney Wharton, and Mr.. James S. Speed.
counsel for the canal company, telegraphed
to Attorney General Williams to-day that
they would leave Louisville in a day or two
for Washington, in order to effect some set
tlement of this question. There being no
United States judge in Kentucky at the
present time, District Attorney Wharton
has been unable to take necessary legal
steps to prevent the company from inter
fering with work; but upon his arrival here
he will apply to one Of the Judges OF the
Supreme Court for an Injunction, restrain
ing interference with the improvements
now being carried on. Mr.. Speed will ap-
pear for the company, end the whole ques-
ton Of difference will be argued by Mr..
Speed aud District Attorney Wharton, and
if Che Justice grants an injunction the com
pany viii make no further resistance.

Almost all the cases of real destitution
which come under our observation are from
other sections-people brought here by
steamboat, sail or by rail. Corporal Ban
croft, Algiers, Thursday evening, found a
man, wife ard three children at Morgan's
railroad depot sick and utterly destitute.
All he could do was to send them to the

They had just arrived from the country. If

Louisville canal, and the clause fixing the
tolls:
DEPAREXENT OF JUSTICE, /
Washington, August 7, 1872 )
To the Hon. W. W. Bekuap, Secretary of War
SIR have the honor to acknowledge the
receipt of your letter Of the fifth instant in
closing copy Of an act approved June 10,
1872, making appropriations for the repair,
preservation and completion of certain pub
lie works on rivers and harbors, and calling
my attention to the following provision
therein: "FOr the continuing Of the work on
the canal at the falls OF the Ohio river
$300000; and.the Secretary Of War is hereby
directed to report to Congress at its next
session, or sooner if practicable, the cOndi
ton OF said canal, aud the provisions neces-
sary to relieve the same from incumbrauCe,
with a view to such legislation as will
render the same. free, and commence at
the earliest practicable period, subject
only to such tolls as may be nee
essary for the superintendent and repairs
thereof which shall not, after the passage
of this act, exceed five cents per ton" You
inquire "whether the act above stated ne
cessitates the Louisville and Portland
Canal Company to accept the rate of toll
prescribed by II, should they consent to the
improvement being carried on" Conhning
myself to the question submitted by you,
ment the expenditure of the appropriation
to continue the work on the canal at the
falls of the Ohio will make no difference
with the rights of said company in respect
to the toll of the said canal. The two
clauses Of the above cited provisions are
separate and distinct. and the execution Of
the one is in no way connected with or de-
pendent upon the execution of the other.
Whether such company have any right to
refuse or accept, or in any way interfere
with the use of the appropriation as indi-
Gated in said act of Congress, or whether
they have any right to impose at this time
any tolls in excess Of five cents per ton, are
questions upon which l express no opinion.
l only mean to say that the rights
which the company now have as to all tolls,
whatever they may be, will continue unat-
fected by the use OF said appropriation in
continuing the work on the canal, whether
the expenditure is made with or without
their consent. Very respectfully, your
Obcdient servant,
