which infest that locality. A warrant was
structed to arrest him. They were unable
to do so until Saturdaye veninga little after
six o'clock, when officers Jones and Nell

road beyond Bowers & Dure's car shops,
where he was easily arrested and came with
them without resistance as far as Eighth
and Church, when he suddenly made great
effol is to get away, hitting Mr.. Jones In the
head and pitching Mr.. McIlbenny successive
back>handers. A multitude of the denizens
who infest that locality already mentioned
quickly gathered around and showed o
dreaded sympathy for Jack, who had to be
little roughly handled before he could be
controlled. He was taken to the Hall with
much difficulty, and yesterday morning was
fined $40 and costs for assaultjng Mr.. Sher-
WOOD, $500 bail to keep the peace, and $500

CORRUPTION MODE.

We publish herewith an affidavit from
the Inspector of the Tenth Ward Of this
city, which reyeals to our citizcns, bold
and barefaced attempt to bribe an election
officer. The charge is so grave, indeed SO
criminal that we demanded that it should
be made under oath which has been done
before we would make 1t public, that VIII
mington had within is limits, one who was
capable of bribing an election officer, pollu-
ting the very fountain and source of our
freedom by the poison of corruption. Is 1t
not o frightful reflection that any man
would corruptly conspire and bribe to win
a magisterial place. We ask in sober
earnest, the reputable citizens of our NUM-
cipality, If we will become accessories to
this villainy, by voting for the consplrator
and temptor. There can be no pooh--pooh-
ing this act 1T base and criminal, and
every honest man and lover of free and fair
election, should solemnly censure 1t by his
vote on Tuesday.
