An OUTRAGEOUS ASSAULT IN MIDDLETowN.
On Monday week, Sd inst, at poll
raising in Odessa, youth named HAYES
saw a notoriously bad fellow of Middletown
named John Whitlock in the act of un.
buckling the rens from the bride bit OF
Thomas Murray's horse, the lynch pins
having already been removed from the
wheels of the carriage. Hayes told Whit.
lock he was doing a mean trick when
Whitlock started to punish him. Just
then Edw. Thomas stepped in to defend
Hayes when the crowd interferred to pre-.
vent further trouble and Whitlock went
off. But in Middletown, that night, Whit
lock with a crowd of pals caught young
Thomas in the bar room of the National
Hotel and beat him terribly. Indeed, it is
thought he would have been killed but fol
the interference of friends.
On Wednesday complaint was made by
Mr.. Thomas before Magistrate Walker
Capt. j. NJ. Barr appeared for the com
plalnant. John Whtlock was held in
$4,000 bail, Theodore Whitlock in $500 and
William Whitlock, son of Theodore, il
$500, in default of which the two former
were committed to the New Castle Jail.
The Middletown Transcript says tha
John Whitlocl is the one who was tried a
New Castle at the last November term o
court for the murder of negro man in hi
grog shop in that place.

FISHER'S NOMINATION W WITHDRAWN.-lt is
announced from Washington that the
President has withdrawn the nomination
of Geo. P. Fisher for the position of United
States District Attorney for this State. The
New York Tribune says:
This is done at Mr.. Fishers own request.
Tho opposition to his confirmation is so
great as to convince him that he will be
rejected if ho allows vote to be reached.
The Senate is subservient body, but Mr..
Fisher, after the exposures of a few months
ago, is more than it can swallow.
There was something so unlooled-for and
uncalledfor in this nomination that public
opinion took hold of the idea that there
must be something moro in it than ap-
peared on the surface. 1t was known that
the judge had just been removed from an
attorneyship in Washington for cause, and
it naturally created surprise when he wa;
nominated for an attorneyship in Delaware
for no cause-unless it be a sinister one
Every public consideration was against the
proposed change, and SO stronly against it as
to overpower the few friends who agitated
for it.
