The ToMPK1Ns SQUARE RIoTERs-DIsAGREE-
MENT OF THE JURY.-The jury in the case of
Christian Mayer-who assaulted Police Ser
geant Berthold with hammer, on the occasion
of the Internationalist meeting in Tompkins
square-has disagreed. An important feature
of the trial was the charge of the Judge that
Mayer had legal right to be in Tompkins
square. This fact will render the conviction
of the men charged with rioting very difficult.
DEsrITUTroN IN THE FOURTH AND SIXTH
WARDs.-The story we print in another
column of the poverty reigning in some Of
the lower wards ought to excite the sympathy
of the charitable. Why do not some OF the in
situations for the relief of the poor establish
lodging houses where the extreme poor
could find shelter at nominal rates2 To
be useful they should be organized ia the
lower part of the CITY, 1t is not necessary to
build costly refugees, but only to hire some
rooms and fit them up plainly as night
refugees. Who will act on the suggestion2
