About 3 o'clock yesterday morning people
on Pennsylvania avenue, between Third and
Four and-a-half streets northwest, were
startled from their slumbers by loud cry Of
murder Sergeant Johnson, of the Seventh
precinct ran to the place whence the cry
came and arrested colOrcd man In the act Of
turning into Jackson Hall alley.
The fellow had been lurking about the
neighborhood all the evening, acting in n very
queer sort of manner, and just before the ar
rival of the Sergeant he sneaked In the large
plate glass door window of Halleck's cigar
store, adjoining the old Globe office. The
Sergeant pounced upon him and called him to
account, when Jackson acknowledged having
broken the glass, and said that he cried muir
der because some men were beating him with
clubs, aud that he broke the window through
fright.
At the station he gave the name of John
Scott. An examination was made, but he
showed no signs of having been beaten with
clubs or anything else, and II is supposed that
he Is insane The officers are In doubt whether
he is insane or whether it was his intention to
commit robbery, and seeing some persons ap.
preaching from the direction Of the Capitol
acted In the manner he did and raised the cry
of murder In order TO avoid suspicion. The
charge of disordcrly conduct was made against
him, and his case will be attended to In the
Police Court this morning.

The attendance at the Presidents grounds
last Saturday afternoon was the largest thus
far this season, and the occasion was rendered
still more enjoyable by the pleasing character
of the selections discoursed by the Marine
baud. Open air music should be of kind
calculated to meet the popular taste. The
waltzes and gallops of Straus and Gungl, the
gems Of Ohenbach and Lecocq, and the lively
airs from wcll-known operas are preferable to
the heavy music Of Wagner and composers Of
his class. 1t is in the power Of Herr Schneider
to give the public such q programme as will
delight their ears, and attract everybody who
has the leisure to attend his concerts on
wednesday and Saturday afternoons, espe-
cially the latter. The White House balcony
was last Saturday occupied by the President,
Mrs. Hayes and a dozen or more friends.
Among the crowd were a few West Point
cadets on vacation. It was noticeable that
the toilets Of the ladies were more elaborate
than usual. In many instances the ladies
came In their carriages, from which they
alighted at one of the gates and returned to
them on the termination Of the music. The
usual number of baby-carriages were on hand
In the thickest Of the crowd, and created
quite a havoc among a countless number Of
toes and soft corns. If the police don't COM
pei the nurses 10 keep their veaiclcs on the
gravel walks or on the outskirts of the crowd
1t may become necessary to send for Judge
Hilton.

A PugilIstIe Contractor.

Daniel Connolly, well.known contractor,
and butcher named John Murphy were ar
rested Saturday afternoon, about s o'clock, by
Officers German and Hinkel, of the Seventh
precinct, on q warrant sworn out by County
Constable Thomas J. Bicksler charging them
with assault aud battery. The circumstances
of the case are follows Bcksler had an ac-
count against Connolly for collection, aud
Saturday afternoon he met him, In COM
pany with Murphy, In or In front of a
restaurant on Pennsylvania avenue, be-
tween Third and Four-and.a-half streets
northwest, and presented the account
Hot words ensued, which resulted In Con-
molly seizing Bicksler by throat, while Muir
ply dealt him blow in the mouth, cutting
his lip and drawing the claret. Murphy also
struck the constable on the back of tho neck
raising good-sized lump. Bicksler thss,
swore out the warrant, as above stated, and
caused their arrest. They were released upon
Connolly leaving SEQ each as collateral fol

tho culprit was allowed 70 fall nine
feet, when 10 the horror Of the spectators
the head was really severed from the
trunk, and the cuiprit's blood spouted In
NIL directions, sprinkling the clothes ofthosc
in the immediate vicinity of the gallows.
An incident, only second in horror to the
above, occurred In New York year ago
last December when three cOlored men
were hung on the same gallows for the
atrOcious murder of Hebrew pcddler.
The rope being improperly adjusted slipped
from the neck to the jaw Of one Of the cul-
prits. Then ensued q desperate conflict
with death. He straddled the man hang
ing next to him, and cried out in piicous
tones, "0h! save me! oh! save me" He
then mised his right hand and tried to undo
the rope, but being gloyed he was unable to
use his fingers freely, and his efforts only
resulted in changing the position of the moose
from the jaw to his neck, and he thus hung
himself. Horrible incidents like these aud
many others that have occurred within the
last decade would never happen by the gar
rote, which always performs its work with
unerring regularity and swiftness. 1t does
not fuctuate. Unlike the gallows, 1t does
not kill one culprit In less time than
another. II Is impartial and destroys all
its victims in less than one second. Against
death by shooting and the guii'oiine, the
objection is advanced that it IL attended by
the splitting OF blood, and the sight Of human
blood might shock the delicate sensibilities
of the officials whose duty it is to execute
the mandates of the law. This may be
true, and we ought probably to have some
regard for the feelings Of a tender-hearted
sheriff. We are not advocating any special
form Of capital punishment We are
simply protesting against hanging when It
is done 80 clumsily that it takes an aver
age Of twelve minutes to choke culprit's
life out of him. We earnestly hope that
some practical philanthropists will take the
matter in hand and cause the gallows to he

The report on the Bureau Of Engraving and
Printing, lately made by committee com
posed Of three clerks In the Treasury Depart
ment, contains, In fact, upwards Of two hun
dred Of the pronouns W." our" ar'l "us, as
we'll ms q supplemental bit Of advice to the
Secretary Of the Treasury and to Congress to
entirely abolish the bureau, and to turn over
the important trusts committed TO that branch
Of the public service to private hands.
To those acquainted with the history Of this
bureau, and with the powerful interests now
and ever arrayed against It., this report Is a
most surprising document. To the people OF
Washington who are more directly interested
in and acquainted with the bureau, II Is food
for considerable discussion, and for their
especial benefit, as well rs for our distant
readers, and for the many now revealing with
delight over the unjust and unfoundcd state
ments and deductions made by the committee,
we propose to discuss tho report of I'VE, our
and "us," and to show Both the committee aud
their representations In true light
with the personal interests Of the present or
the former heads Of tho bureau we will have
nothing to do. That mistakes Of judgment
have been made In it's management no one can
we'll question; but that It Is without a redeem
ing Characteristic, that Is, an institution for
which there has been or Is now no demand, rs
I'VE" our and "us' have In their wisdom and
egotism discovered, no.sane man will question.
On Congress, on the Treasury Department,
and on the whole country, despite tho notori-
ously corrupt and infamous efforts Of tho pri'
vate bank companies to the contrary, the con.
viction has grown that the establishment oil
this bureau was and Is necessity as well as
Of pronounced benefit TO the Government In
tho preparation Of Its money issues.
Fifteen years experience tho bureau now
has, and In that time has been accumulated In
II machinery and facilities particularly adapted
for its peculiar work, until IL Is now able to en-
tirely prepare the paper issues Of tho country
as do the mints the coin--or to borrow an u
lustration from across the ocean, rs does the

own issues and of all the public stock Of thu
Mother Country.
All Of these important considerations hav,
been entirely overlooked by we" our ant
'us" and for their especial benefit swell as tn
information Of our readers, we have determined
to make an investigation on our own accoun

THE UNCoSouERABLg PREJUDICE OF
RICE Il


Nothing could have occurred to disturb
the quiet OF the country more to be re-
grctted than the revival OF the proscriptiye
spirit OF the medi1va' ages against the He
brews at this late day in the United states,
where Jewish equality inst dawned alter the
mai dispersion OF the race by the Romans
and lersians nearly fifteen centuries before.
Leading the way in their restoration to
civl and religious liberty, and having by the
force OF her example caused their recognition
by France, Holland, Belgium, Denmark,
parts OF Germany and Jamaica, and later
throughout Germany, Italy and Hungary,
and finally in Norway and England, now
that those tardy countries have at last ele-
waited them to the highest positions OF honor
and trust, America herself, through the
fundamentally Of an influential citizen,
strikes them down again socially, and ostra-
cises them from the presence Of her higher
classes, on the score OF vanity and vulgar
ny. And, what is oil still greater concern
lending an alarming appearance to the afiair,
IS that there seems to be very general sym
pathy among public entertainers with the
proprtetots OF the hotel taking the action
complained OF, and disposition to sustain
them in their course in excluding lsraelites
from their Inequalities. Very many other
P''f'Nses' s"a P'''"N
assert the same facts touching the
offensive conduct of the wealthy
jews in public places in seeking to
make an exhibition Of magnihccncc In the
display OF their jewelry and attire, and IN
attracting IN themselves notice by loud con-
yersation md boisterous manners. Indeed,
the incident appears to disclose the fact that
there is deep-seated feeling Of repugnance
to association with them among the repre-
sentative Christian classes that hitherto
would not have been suspected; and 1t Is
more than probable that the natural resent
ment excited by their rejection will cause
such demonstrations on the part OF these
guests rs will not at all improve the feeling
manifested
II can hardly he expected that a gentle
man Of the standing and pride Of Mr.. SELIo-
MAN will resort to any process Of law
to impose himself or his family upon
those who do not desire the inter
course, even ii the case were entirely clear
in his favor, which is not the fact in the
PRESENT instance, for the relation sustained
between the landlords Of the Saratoga hotels
and such rs he, is that established by private
contract, and not the usual one OF inn-
keeper and guest in the, ordinary sense
But be this as il may, it is the least impor-
tant consideration in this connection, and is
not entitled to mention when compared

THE Cincinnati Enquirer comes to us greatly
enlarged, and is now in size and beauty Of
typographical appearance one Of the finest
journ $ in the country. Although decidedly
Democratic, its editorials are ablo aud out
spoken, and free from that wishy-washy style
which has brought tho Cincinnati Commercial
into such disrepute. The success of the En-
q,uirer is owing to its superior business manage
ment and its enterprise in obtaining the latest
and more reliable news from all parts Of tho
world. Real talent In journalism Is sure 10 DO
rewarded by success, as Is proven by the fact
that the Enquirer now has circulation of
five thousand more than the Commercial.
