QUEER little JENNIE ROBB.
The Daughter Of n Rich Resident of
HOrrisania Takes TO ShOpIiftin=-
A CuIPrit whose COnduet Puzzled a
COnrf.
New York sun, Aug. :

NtM luIA sum- aug -
Jennie RObb is II years old. She is 4
bright, intelligent little girl, with a rather
pretty face, blue eyes, aud curling auburn
hair. Her father is William K. BObb,
wholesale merchant of this city, who lives
in Morrisania. He is tOlerably rich, and
his residence is a handsome place with
spacious grounds. His family hold good
social position, and Jennie has always
been peited, schOOle,l. and tenderly cared
for.
On Wednesday last Jennie put on her
hat and left the house, as Mrs. Robb sup
posed to 20 TO a neighbOr's and meet some
Of her playmateS. Instead Of that, how
ever. She came down town and set about
stealing from the stores, visiting several Of
the fancy goods establishments, and slip
ping articles from the counters into her
pockets. She was caught at last, and when
she was arrested her pockets contained a
box Of kid gloves, cakes of soap, 4 pocket
book, aud other stolen things. She spent
the night in the Mercer street police sta
ton. and in the morning Was taken TO the
Jefferson Market Court. There she gave
her name falsely rs Jennie Hoyt, and re-
fused 10 tell where she lived. Her hand
some dress, intelligent face, and air Of good
breeding puzzled everybody, but no ques-
tiOning could make her reveal who or what
she was. Nor was she in the least abashed
or frightened By her predicament, but
laughed heartily at those who tried to get
information by crOSs-examining. She was
committed for trial.
Jennie spent Thursday aud Friday
nights in the TOmbS, and on Saturday
rnnrninO was arraiupad in the Special Sps-
sions. There she was as self-pOssessed as
ever, and even when convicted she would
not tell where she lived. A newspaper re-
porter thought he could find out, and so
Justice Kasmire sent Jennie back to prison
without a sentence TO wait for the reporter
TO investigate. He found the parents, and
Yesterday, when the gill was again taken
into the Special Sessions, they were there.
Mrs. RObb told the Justice that she had
grown sick with fright during her daugh-
ter's absence. Search had been fruitleSs,
and surmise of kidnapping had intensified
her alarm. She pleaded teaItully for the
strange little girl, who stood at the bar
half smiling through it all, and promised
to send her away to a strictly disciplined
school if sentence could be suspended. The
mothers request was granted, and Jennie
was told by Justice Kasmire that If she ever
stole again he would give her severe pun
ishment. Ifthe admOnition had any effect
it was not shown by the girl. who laughed
as she turned tOgo out of court with her
gIieyed parents.

SOME weeks ago We published the
proceedings Of a mass meeting Of Dick
son county which endorsed Col. John
F. House for Congress. To-day We
publish the proceedings Of another mass
meeting from the same county endors-
ing Col Thos L. Claiborne. The con-
test between these two gentlemen is the
emulous rivalry of Democratic breth-
ren. in which We cannot take sides,
awaiting, as We DO, the will Of the peo.
pie expressed IN convention. Yet the
remark is pertinent that this episode
indicates how mass meetings
may prove unreliable as a test Of the
popular will. We Do not live under a
pure or Athenian democracy, but one
that is representative. As nearly as
possible our political machinery should
align TO the legal forms under which
we live. A convention can and should
be made as representative as a Legisla-
ture. Such conventions are the safest
and surest means Of eliciting the real
wishes Of the people, in the absence of
registration and poll-books, to make
primary elections as efficient here as in
Northern States.

The Turfman Ten BrOeck Shot by a
sneradO-ENfraOrdin E.scaSe.

DesPeradO-ENtraOrd I-scaEe.
LOUISVILLE. Aug. s. Col. Richard Ten
Brock. the well known horse owner, was
shot and it is reported mOrally wounded
at Gillman'S station. III this county, this
evening by Gen. Walter Whitaker, a
lawyer of this city. The particulars Of the
affair are not known. Whitaker had
already killed two men and is regarded as
a desperate character. Ii will be remem-
bered that Ten Brock took number OF
American horses to England some years
since and matched them against English
runners.
LATEE-COl. Il. Ten Brock is not dan
geroUSly wounded. Whitaker fired four
shots, the last shot hitting him in the center
Of the forehead, and fortunately glancing
upward, cutting through the skin and hair,
but not tractuTing the skull. Zen BrOeck's
escape IS regarded as very extraordinary.
Whitaker had an examining trial, and was
admitted To $500 bail His attack seems
TO have been unprovoked. Ten Brock was
unarmed. There is much excitement in
the city over the affair.

The latest and most ineligible ae-
count of the deplorable affair at Som
erviIle represents that the riot was
started by boisterous negro politician
swapping his pistol twice in the face of
the Mayor, who promptly shot him
down in self-defence. The conduct of
young Burton, refusing to be disarmed
IN the presence of an armed negro
mob thirsting for his blood, can hardly
be condemned in the light of this
mornings dispatches. An intelligent
judgment of the whole affair cannot
be formed until fuller particulars are
received.

The only new developments in the Kate
Hannett murder, is the arrest of John Me-

ice cream the night of the murder, and
who got into the wagon with her. The
other two men m the wagon are not
vet known. Jim HaTtnett, the husband, is
still in custody, but the theory Of the
police is that he had nothing TO
do with the murder. The murder
ed woman was married to Harnett when
fourteen years old, but had not lived hap
PLY with him for a number OF years, and
finally drifted into 4 life of prostitution.
She had two auntS here, respectfully con-
nected. She had been taken out of brOthels
three times and sent to New York, but
after staying a short time, returned here
and relapSed into her old ways. The police
authorities think she was murdered by
some of her relatives, TO end a career which
they regarded as a d diSgTace to them.
