Maurice Slatterly, who Stabbed dthe color
ed man Wales on saturday, night. last ,gwai
brought before Magistrate Kennedy to-day
and was Committed in default of bail. |,
will be remembered that this affair tool
place in Third street car, shortly after the
-snaes meeting on Saturday night, and that
the assault was unprbvoked and murder
g Gus. The whereabouts of ,Slatterly ,hAve
been well .known.to the police here, but II
was not thought polite to arrest him, in
view of the fact that he commanded con.
siderable ward influence among Republican
repeaters. But when the people began tu
complain that the commission of such an
outrage in the heart of the city, at so early
the local administration, the police authori-
tties became alarmed, and quite speedily ar
rested the assassin.
There are few hopes entertained of the
recovery of Wales, and, as the deed of his
antagonist will be nothing short of murder,
it will be interesting to watch the progress
ofthe case, and keep guard over the polit-
cal FOUNDERS who will exhaust the encyco-
pedia of rascality to set the murderer free
ARRIVAL OF MR.. MOODY.
Mr.. Moody arrived in this city Yesterday
morning, and at once became the center, of
religious attraction. From the moment of
his arrival, Mr.. George II. Stuart was in his
company, nor did he omit the celebrated
preacher during the entire day.
Your CORRESPONDENT called on Mr.. Moody
in the course of the afternoon and had few
moments conversation with him.. The Rev.
erned gentleman possesses all the vitality of
his former years of clerical usefulness. and
was especially entertaining in worldly mat
tiers. He alluded to his European trip as
something of which he would ever remain
proud, and seemed to think that if his
teachings should never again call forth con-
triton from the multitude, at least would
his experiences and conversions abroad. en-
title him, in the autumn of his life, to
blissful contemplation of his earthly str;i-
ces. When Mr.. Moody was asked whether
he thought any difficulty would be expert l.
enccd by his ''backers" in securing for him
place in which to regale the religious cle-
ment of the town, and, at the same time. to
convert the pagans and infidels, which
swarm here-from other cities of course. (0
He replied enthusiastically that he was con-
fident of success. ''Philadelphia, said he.
sis the best place for me now. The rough
element is coming here, and accumulatinc
with such rapidity, that all l can do. with
the aid Of Jesus Christ, and my own weak
voice, will be none too much for the saliva
tion of this bleeding city,"
"Do you not anticipate opposition ~
asked him.
Well, / don't KNOW" he replied.
"But," 0his after consideration. "should
any opposition to my preaching in this city
arise it will only do me the more good.
Christ was among the prosecuted, YOU
know : their chief in fact, and i'll would it
become me to finch from my imperative
duty though the fOrges of ali hell putied
their seething venom into my face. No, sir
] DEFY opposition, and I'll preach to the sin
ners to save their souls, even with the devil
endeavoring to throttle me-"
"Where will you quarter yourselfw I
asked.
"Oh, anywhere. It makes no difference
10 me where l am or where may 90, SO
long as l can confront the power of hell!
Just show me Satan, and I'm at homc-tlat
is, at cleaning him out" ,,
Have you selected any building?' was
he next question.
" No, not; vet in fact l don't think
there is building in the town large
enough, and u I'm right in this conjecture
III have building built such one as the
Hippodrame in New York and then III
preach to the people and save them from
the flames of hell, while my Lutheran
friends are bowling without. Just trust me
Tor that" said the sanguine gentlemen in
conclusion, and give my love to the peo-
pie OF Delaware through the columns of
your pretty little paper, and tell them that
ere long III give them call"
