HAS CHIvALRY DIED OUT.

We have had some arrests in this city
lately Of "breeched bipeds," insulting wo>
men upon the streets, this is most helm
GUS offence, and one deserving quick, and
severe punishment. The crime seems to
he general. In Washington, during the
last year, the number of assaults npon wo-
men which have taken place IS unprece-
dented, and the evil has assumed such
proportions that Justice Wylie, in addres.
sing the Jury in the case of Evans, few
days ago, on trial for an assault upon a
lady, while she was waiting for a car on
Seventh street near Pennsylvania Avenue,
called attention to the subject and used
very severe language in regard 10 it. He
said that ladies, either young or old, are
no longer safe from insult while walking
alone in the streets Of that city, nor are
the outrages committed alone b. represen-
tatives of the lower classes. Some of those
who are call ID respectable are guilty Of
them, and they should be made especially
to suffer the full penalties of the law,
Young women, he said,on appearing alone
on the streets of Washington after DARK,
are attacked like the children of Bengal,
and these tigers in human form do not
stop to ascertain whether their victims are
respectable or not. So serious has this
evil become. he said, that he is tired Of
it, hardly day passes that case of the
kind is not either brought before him Or
before the lower court.
We invoke the police authorities to
punish and cause to be known the next
scamp who is brought to the Mayors office
guilty of insulting females upon the street.
Such persons have been mercifully treated
heretofore.

BELLOWS BRISKLY BLOWING.
SPIRITED DISCUSSION AT THE FoUNDRx--
. TWO AGAINST ONE.

There was fair audience at the old

sided, and after speeches by Messrs. Van
Horn and Bryant, Mr.. Ducher then took
floor and spoke to some length, during
which he 8. ia thatout Of 425 ministers in
Philadelphia not one dare speak out on the
Temperance question. This brought Rev.
.J-~B. Mann, to his feet who defended the
clerical class. He denied the assertions Of
Mr.. Butcher In reference to Philedelphia,
and said that the work In this city was
In great measure progressed by the min
listers assistance. Mr.. Mann also came
down heavily upon the rum-seller, to
which Mr.. Wells responded, saying that
the rum seller could not be greatly blamed.
1t was the Legislature that was wrong, the
Legislature was as responsible as man
would be for the actions of bis agent AZ
ter much discussion by Mr.. Wells and Mr..
Mann, Mr.. butcher got chance to speak
and denied the statement concerning the

BAD PATEM .ENTS.

The sidewalks Of Wilmington are more
uneven and rugged than that of any city we
know of. Our city bricklayers do not
seem to take pride in their paving, else the
sidewalks would not be so bad. We know
Of brick pavement, not three weeks laid,
which is already uneven, rugged, and un-
slightly. Will some good bricklayer tell US
what is the matter. The broken and worn
out sidewalks are standing rebuke to our
municipal officers.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

From our Special CORRESPONDENT i
WASHINGTON, c., June l5, 1878.
The Judiciary Committee of the House
Yesterday made a report and presented a
resolution on subject ofgreat importance.
The bill known as the Kimmel bill, which
proposes a means of trying the title of Mr..
HAYES to the Presidency. The resolution
presented by the committee was follows,
and was adopted by vote of 23l to IA;
Resolved, that the two Houses of the
Forty-fourth Congress, having counted the
vo es cast for President and Vice-President
of the United States, and having declared
Rutherford B. Hayes to be elected Pres.-
dent aud VIM. A. Wheeler to be elected
Vide President. there is no power In any
subsequent Congress to reverse that decla,
ration, nor can any such power be exercised
by the courts of the United States, or any
other tribunal that Congress can create un-
der the Constitution.
The report was drawn up by Mr. Hart
redge of Georgia, and was concurred In by
all The Democratic members OF the com
mittee except Mr.. Knott General Butler
also will make a separatereport.
This action means that no Presidential
title can be disturbed except by impeach-
mcnt.
The developments before Mr.. Potter's
co nmittee for several days past have not
been important. Mrs. jerks, supposed to
know more than any one else about Sher-
mans contract wi h Anderson and Weber,
to swindle Mr.. Tilden out of the vote OF
Louisiana, was to have been examined yes
terday, but was not. She will come before
the committee to>day. 1t is an unf fattering
commentary on the vigilance of Mr.. Potter
th at Mrs. jerks has been in the hands OF
s. cretary sherman's attorney ever since
her arrival, nearly week ago. and that no
member of the committee seemed to be
aware of her 20 until Thursday last.
The Democrats held q caucus yesterday
to attempt to secure united party action on
the army bill. No decision was arrived at,
and on this, as on many of the contests
