SEVERAL OFFICERS SHOT.


EAST ST.. LOUIS, July "a.
About 8 o'clock last evening several Of
Mayor Bowman's deputy marshals and
Metropolitan policemen got into q
row at the corner Of Broadway and Main
streets, during which n was knocked
down with . club and another beaten IN
the face with . 6st. Pistols were fired,
and O'Neill, Of the M~etropoli,ans, was shot
in the hip, and n Of the deputy marshals,
named Russell, was wounded in the groin.
The parties then separated, and q few
minutes after which the shots were re-
newed, this time, it ia ascertained, from
the Metropolitan headquarters, aimed at
the market-house, about 40 yards distant,
on the opposite side Of the street, which Is
also used for q police Office for the deputy
marshals. Some fifty or more shots are
said to have been exchanged. Capt. Rem
shaw, chief Of the Metropolitans, received
q bullet through the hat, and Chapman,
the turnkey OF the Metropolitans, was shot
in the leg. None OF the deputy marshals
seem to have been hurt in this affair, al
holes can be seen in the walls and win
dows Of the market-house. The accounts
Of the row are conflicting and contra
dictory to the highest degree. Whisky ap-
pears to have had a good deal to do with
the origin Of the disturbance. The Belle
Guards, some so or 60 strong, arrived
at East st. Louis last night. They were
ordered out by Governor Cullom, and are
under the orders Of Sheriff Weber. There
is also . strong guard Of civilians in and
around the engine-house, the headquarters
Of the Metropolitans.

New York, July "a.
A Tribune reporter has interviewed ex-
General Williams, now here.
The latter thinks Grant will be renomi-
mated by the Republicans and elected. He
says. there is, practically, n Southern Re-
publican party in existence. Its disband-
onment is due to the feeling that 1t had
not the moral support Of the Administra-
ton more than anything else. These
southern people have exaggerated ideas of
the mower of the Federal Government. and
q feeling Of moral support and sympathy
has q powerful effect on them. Under
Administration the belief that
be sympathized, in any move
or question, wss sufficient that
10 demonstration by the Administration
vas needed to encourage them. With the
administration II is different. Will
concluded that there has been q
change In the sentiment towards )

The Virginia Chronicle perpetrates this I:
Fired Hart, the old original Sazerac liar,
was in town Sunday night with Congress-
Wren, and some Of his friends insisted
upon his calling at the club-room OF the
lying organization Of this city. He dropped
in about IL o'clock, where he found the
club ordering drinks a. fast as Billy Eek
hoff could chalk them down. Congress-
man Wren also came In, and both were
warmly welcomed. Last night the ciih
called . special meeting, and struck Harris

Of expulsion was unanimous The dignity
OF the organization ID to be preserved.

Hon. Il. T. Fox, OF Storey, is . candidate
for Governor. Mr.. Fox is q Democrat,
and in our opinion the strongest man that
could be placed on the Democratic ticket.
He is 1900 votes stronger than Bradley.
It ID said that the B~radleyites are begin
ming TO realize that the ssold man" is not
unpopular Is he might be. and many have
come to the conclusion that Tom Fox had
better receive the nomination. The know
ing ones assert that IL Fox is nominated
for Governor, J. G. Hagerman will be
placed on the ticket for Lieutenant Gov
ernor. Wonder il that won't be the ticket.
-KeNO Journal.
Not much. We are greatly mistaken in
Hsgsrman II be would consent to play
ssocnd fiddle to anybody. He is . sterling
business man, not an Office seeker, and has
IN honorable ambition to become the Gov
ernor Of the State. He wants the position
simply for the honor which it ~confers, and
not for its emoluments. He is not sufd-
cietly cracked for Office to accept q subor-
dinate place on the ticket. Our word for
it. Hagerman will be Governor OF nothing.
TIM Baltimore Gazette, the leading DEM
ocrstic journal Of Maryland, thus rebukes
Jed. Davis: "Instead Of following the
neble example Of General Lee and General
Breckinridge, who sought . refuge from
their hopes decayed at the close Of the war,
and ended their lives in honor, though
elouded by misfortune, Mr.. Davis seeks
opportunities to parade his sentiments
upon every occasion. His conspicuous
failure - . leader in the South, and his
constant efforts to justify the mistakes Of
his life, when better men are willing to
iorget them. make him q peculiar enemy
Of the people Of the section which is hun
gering for peace and prosperity"
