BRIEF NENrION-There was consider
able smoke but not much fire in the Pelican
Exchange, corner of st. Charles and Per
dido streets, yesterday morning, but Mr.
Dan Owens, the proprietor. ran into the
engine house of No. 10, and called ont
Zieeen, with his inefficient syringe, to
auenoh the flames. The only trouble was,
that gas tinker, in looking for leak in
the ceiling pipes, touched the paper hang
ings with his alcohol lamp, and set all in a
blaze. That was all.
Colonel Loan, Superintendent Of Police,
having been quite sick, yesterday put in an
appearance at his office for few minutes,
but was too weak to remain out long.
Police Commissioner Ryan was last Sun
day Frustrated by two epileptic fits, but he
overcame the disease, and is again all
right.
The Hebrew synsgogues were last eve
ming lighted for service. the occasion being
Hoehauah Rabbah and the beginning Of
Chesvan.
Let all reasonable people hereafter smile
audibly when they see the Democratic
newspapers call Republican conventions
mensgeries. A visit to the State House
Yesterday or to-day will be sufficient.
1t proved to be an excellent arrangement
not to allow any but delegates on the floor
of the Democratic convention yesterday
The officers propose to keep all outsiders
outside the railing.
It 10 now reported that several persons
were wounded at the fracas in the fifth
ward last Saturday, but the quieter Demo
Gratis hushed up the fun.
Late Sunday night gang of about thirty
noisy men congregated near St. Mary Mar
ket and talked politics, or something else as
bad. As none of the party knew exactly
what they were talking about, they at
tempted to settle the dispute by shooting
at each other. A cry of "Police" dispersed
the rioters. 1t is believed that at least two
men were wounded.

An UNFORTUNATE ACCIDENT.-Sunday
afternoon, the son OF Mr.. Dan Kelly, the
armorer of the Washington Artillery, while
playing with some young friends, fell from
post ON his left arm, breaking it in two
places, both forearm and upper, and crush
ing the elbow joint. DR.. E. S. Drew was
called, and DR.. Howard Smith, and they de-
termined that an amputation was impera-
tive. The operation was performed yes
terday morning by Drs. Drew and Smith.
An examination afterward of the fractures
showed the justice Of their conclusions, and
young Mr.. Kelly Is now doing we'll.

BEATING A POLICEMAN.-A lot of men
poll, not finding sufficient liquor in that
section dropped down to Mr.. Bobe's gro
Gerry, corner of st. Charles and St. Mary
streets, to obtain drinks. Mr.. BObe was
not prepared to entertain q rough crowd,
and objected to furnishing whisky to any
body just then. The men became noisy and
belligerent, which caused citizens to call
Officer Malabre to preserve the peace. The
moment he began to show his authority the
gang bounced him, beating him unmerci-
fully, stealing his cap and pistol. Had not
some we'll disposed persons interfered it is
likely that the ruffians would have muir
dered the policeman.

A BLUE-HANDLED RAZOR. II fellow
known only a. 10, late Sunday night, with
ont previous warning, walked up to Lucy
johnson, who vas on Dryades, near Union
street, and began slasbing her with razor.
He cut her three or four times, ono of the
wounds being fully ten inches long, in her
right thigh. The rascal having satisfied his
thirst for blood, ran away, and up to date
has evaded the police. This trouble settles
an old quarrel between the two. Lucy was
sent to the hospital.

\ magistrate in Alexandria ordered a
convicted thief from Washington to receive
thirty lashes, administered in instruments ::
twenty ut the time and ten on the 10th OF
November, at which date the thief was or
dered to reippear to receive the remaining
part of the penalty. That thief will not
visit Alexandria again. -.-
The strategy was excellent, and is worthy
OF being copied generally. In effect, itwould
be keeping a rod in pickle for thieves that
would exclude them from the scenes Of their
exploits. An old adage says that preven-
ton is better than cure, and it would. be
certainly better to deter thief from COM
hitting crime by placing before his eyes
his liability to lagellatlon for an unatoned
offence than having to punish him for a
new one.

The Claims.

Should HAYES be elected those hypocriti-
cal rascals who have made so much blather
about southern war-claims, will themselves
bring claims upon the Radical Administers
tration for sevices rendered that will take
every dollar out of the Treasury. Firing
air-guns at imaginary plunderers they hope
to cover up their own rascally intentions to
invade The Treasury and gather up out OF ii
every possible dollar. TO heed the alarms OF
these wretches and give them the open way
to the Treasury would be an act Of the peo-
pie that might entitle them to the epithet OF
q nation OF asses.

81 trhe Charleston IS. O. corresp ondcnt OF.
the New York Herald has been very indus
.tr,ous in giving correct accounts and descrir-
tions Of the events and scenes IN South
carolina. In letter describing the Demo-
cratic parade in the city Of Charleston he
thus aliudes to q leading feature OF the
affair: q. .ss;F
AS the procession passed along the streets,
crowds OF colored men and women congre-
gated on the corners, INDUCED in obscenity,
curses, and insult to those Of their own race
most violent. They yelled, :" Rah for Cham
linz "Damn Hampton," "Pull the damn
niger of de horse. XIII him." In such
chorus, and with gesticulations as to pro-
woke resentment, 1t seemed as il they were
specially intent upon creating disturbance.
Whenever negro Democrat appeared he
was cursed, pushed off the sidewalk, spit
upon, and in many instances beaten by the
colored yiragos, assisted by the negro sup
porters Of Governor Chamberlain. Several
OF the colored Democrats were stone d as
they rode singly along the streets. Two
OF them were pulled off their horses,
and their Hampton badges: Ind decorations
were instantly taken from their persons and
torn into shreds. The stars and stripes
which they wore were Indignantly torn up
and tramped upon by these South Carolina
colored Republicans. The little flags in the
hands OF white children were snatched out
Of their hands, destroyed, and thrown in
the cutters. White ladies walking along
the streets were subjected to the most
obscene language, insult, and often to per-
sonal assault. During the entire day this
sort of negro intimidation and prescription
was kept up, but it was submitted to with
the stern determination not to gratlfy their
enemies by rescnting it and causing riot.
General Ruger himself and staff witnessed
scenes and incidents of this kind.
1t is plain that HAMPTON has engraven his
policy on the very hearts OF even the blacks,
or these things would have led to blood
shed. How he will come out to-day will
tell. He most richly deserves success. lie
has conducted his campaign heroically and
wisely. 1t could not under the circum-
stances have been better managed.
But what does the civilized world think
of semi-barbarous political war in the
famed State of South Carolina; where re-
fined and proud people are compelled by
Radical brutality to carry on such strug-
gle?-a desperate struggle to maintain civ
ilized government and to keep society from
sinking down into the vortex of hopeless
decay? viii not the nation help these peo
ole out OF their terrible condition?

Swell the triumph for WALKER. Let it
be understood that the metropolitan dis
trict is guarded by men who are deter
mined that it shall not lose credit in the
civilized land by any signs Of wavering or
OF peril from any dangerous infusion OF
barbarism. In this district there is the
spirit of commerce and enterprise which
would suffer intellectually by the incompe-
tency and immortality Of Radical predomi-
nance. There is more capital here than
anywhere else in the State, and the injury
that might come upon us would be spread
more widely over the State than were it to
fall upon any other locality. Then our peo-
pie owe it to themselves, to Richmond,
and to Virginia, to show that they will
not allow public credit and public character
here to be impaired by degrading the power
OF the polls.
Oh, no let S pile up WALKERS majority
rs high as possible. Let not vote be lost.
Rally to the polls, voters all, and give a
grand triumph to w AIKER, and thus protect
public credit and foster enterprise. Avote
for WALKER is also a vote for the Constitu-

Lyons was invited to go to Pennsylvania
and speak for Mr.. Buchanan, and ne
went. When he arrived at the Girard
House some OF his. personal frlends-old
Wings = among whom were Moncure
Robinson and William Savage-asked
him what would be the character OF his
speech about abolition. He replied: Just

urged him not to do so, and said MIR. Fill

cause by speaking in that way. 49,
At later hour Of the same evening the
Democratic committee, OF which the Hore-
said "desperate, callous John w, Forney
was chairman, called on Dir. Lyons (Forney
leading), and he informed them OF What mad
passed between his Wing friends and him.
self and Forney replied: g My dear sir,
speak out your opinions; that is just what
we want you for. When we tell the people
that the Union will be dissolved II an Abo-
litionist is elected the Wigs say 1t is De-
mocratic lie; and thereforewe want them to
hear from a southern man what the truth
is." Mr.. Lyons was then sent, up by For
ney and his committee to the city Of Read
ing, where he addressed a very large meet
ing in the presence of the Hon. Hester
Clymer and J. Clancy Jones; and he spoke
his " opinions" as Mr.. Forney advised, and
depicting the consequences OF abolition
,to-wit: the impoverishmento OF the South and
the Acknowledgement of the slaves, which be
said must occur, and the southern men
overcome and their votes counterbalanced
by the slaves, and compared a white man
in Pennsylvania going to the polls to vote
and negro behind him counterbalanclng
him-the shouts were deafening; and when
a step farther, and representing the negro
woman as claiming equality with the wives
and daughters OF Pennsylvania, the i'm
mense crowd was swayed by deep excite
ment, which found vent in deep and loud
expressions.
At night Mr.. Lyons was entertained at Il
large supper, in the course OF which the
following toast was given by Il wealthy
farmer, as he was described to US: May
there never be another free State added to
this Union: the slave States have never
given us any trouble" So much for For
ncy, the "desperate and callous."

Judge Hughes on The Population OF
Petersburg
NORFOLK, 18th November, 1876.

NORFOLK, 9TH November, 1876.
Sir,-I have received your letter OF yes
terdav. I had received and answered SINH
lar inquiries from the Mayor OF Petersburg.
The acts OF Congress, relating to elections
give me no power to determine officially the
number OF inhabitants in city where the
number is disputed, and provide no way for
judicialIy ascertaining that number.
You call upon me to decide, arbitrarily,
what the population OF Petersburg Is. |
do not know what it is; and al arbitrary
decision by me in the absence OF legal au-
thority would be worth no more than 4
decision by any other unauthorized person.
The official census Of the National. Gov
crnment is evidence primd tqcie OF the
population OF the city, but only .primG .facie.
That gives only 1880 inhabitants for Pc
tcrsburg. -.... ,..is3 {. .--.
The action OF the Post-O Office Department
is only OF authority with the officers OF that
department.. That department did not de-
eide on the occasion to which you allude
what was the population OF Petersburg, but
only that there "arere t,oenty thousand IN
habitants acithin the delivery Of its post
office "-embracing acircle OF many miles,
including Mattoaca, Ettrick, Mechanics
vile, and other spacious suburbs not With
in the corporate limits.
The claim OF the city directory to which
you allude, that the city contains 10000 IN
habitants, is OF course not conclusive OF the
fact upon anybody, and worth nothing as
legal evidence at all.
8 make these remarks to show that the pop
ulation of Petersburg is a matter of doubt.
The acts OF Congress relating to elections
do not indicate how that doubt is to be set
tied, in case the question is raised and the
fact is disputed. .,i} "'.H
r II l were to decide in advance one way or
the other, and there should be violations OF
law and indictments found, should have
preiudged the question either against the
accused or the Government. For wise rea-
sons the laws Of Congress havenot required
me to make an er-parte decision OF such 4
question, but limit my power to the mere
appointing OF supervisors.
These laws, however, do not leave you i'll
the dark. You must obtain instructions as
to the extent Of your powers and the nature
Of your duties from the Chief Supervisor,
who is himself advised by the District At
torney, OF the Attorney-General OF the
United States. Section 2026, page 35S, OF
the Revised Statutes OF the United States,
directs you to obtain instructions especially
from the Chief Supervisor. The law no
where authorizes you to seek them from
the Judge, or him to give them.

servant, -. r. W. HUGHES.
