Fire Three or Four VOlleys into the
Helpless ThrOng, the Entire Bush
ness Resulting in the Death Of
Three or Four and Wound
ing Of Several Others.

CHICAGO, June 22.-One of the armed
companies, which under recent act of the
legislature must shortly cease to exist, be-
came involved in a difficulty with some I'M
armed people th:s afternoon, which resulted
IN death to several of the latter. The Bohe-
milan sharp-shooters association, composed OF
some twenty individuals, had picnic to-day
at Silver-leaf grove, corner Ogden and Wes-
tern avenues. During dance one of the sharp
shooters engaged in quarrel with Valney
Clark, a visitor. and after using him up
pretty badly, had him elected from the
ground. He stated his grievance to the
crowd outside the gates, and gaining some
sympathy, these inaugurated an lndiscrlmi-
nate throwing of sticks and stones into the
Enclosure where the picnic was being held.
The lieutenant of the company, Frank Lad
weic, ordered the long-roll sounded and the
bayonets fixed. A charge was Immediately
made toward the gate, and the crowded were
bayonetted and sabred until they fell back.
The company reformed outside the gate in
single file, facing the street, and loading
their guns

The Rochester Union: "They only de-
Jude themselves who imagine that Horatio
Seymour will ever again be candidate for
any Office. He was and is the Unions
choice above all other men for governor or
president, and we long and fondly chung to
the hope that he might be induced to come
out of his retirement, again buckle on his
harness, accept nomination. unite his par
ty, and lead to certain success. But we
now know, beyond the possibility of ques-
ton or doubt, that. for reasons conclusive
to himself, Governor Seymour will never
again appear 10 public official life. Aud
we know, furthermore, that nothing is
more distasteful to him than the doubt
thrown upon his repeated declarations to
this effect by the mention of his name for
office and the assumption that he may be
persuaded to reconsider his determination
and accept nomination. These facts are
so we'll understood in this state that no one
here, and least OF all Governor Seymour 8
yarmest friends and admirers, think OF his
name 10 connection with the presidency
save to implore the impossibility OF his
acceptance of it. Democrats and Demo
cratic journals in other states do both him
and the Democratic party injustice by
proposing and insisting upon the impossi-
BILE by the use of his name"

There is something suggestive in the re-
mark of one Bradwell, who. when shaking
hands with Grant, in Chicago, said
I'VE will cro,on you next year. This
remark seems trivial enough at least our
Republican friends will so style it; call it
a brilliantly worded compliment, etc.,
but it wont pass for that There is a
deeper significance to the remark of Brad
well than it is safe for the stalwart toadies
to admit. but it nevertheless voices the
sentiment of goodly number Of radicals
who would sooner see Grant King Of
America. than Democrat, president of
the United States. In his zeal to express
his adulation of Grant, Bradwell was in
discreet enough to say what he honestly
felt. and what he knew to be the sentiment
of his party leaders. The ideal dream of
the toady leaders of the slalwart party is a
strong, centralized government, and
whether they admit it or not-they would.
if opportunity presented, disrupt the re-
public and establish an empire. A strong
centralized government, IS nothing short
of an empirical rule Of the people. This
aud nothing less than this.

Harper's Weekly: When Mr.. Evarts
three or four years ago presided at the
dinner to Mr.. Schurz in the city OF New
York, at the time that Mr.. Schurz was
under regular Republican censure. Mr..
Evarts, in expressing his sympathy with
the position of Mr. Sehurz, denlored a
party management which made an eies-
ton race an alternative between a horse
lame in two legs and another lame in
three. TIE result in New York. if we
rightly anticipate It. shows that such an
alternative is not necessary in the race OF
next wear"

The southern states poll 1873 electoral
votes. Indiana and New York At, and
Connecticut and New jersey IS votes -
making 200 votes in all. These 200 votes
will be cast for the Democratic
candidate for president next year.

AS soon as the New York election was
over and Robinson, who was practically
Tilden's man was defeated, the outcry
against Tilden ceased-indeed some Re-

that Samuel was not such a bad fellow
after all. The reason for this sudden
change of front is apparent.

How Carr Took His Conviction.

In the trial of Royal S. Carr for the
murder Of William Murcommock, at
Montpelier, on Tuesday, State Attor-
ney PIumley and S. G. Shurtleff made
able arguments for the government,
and G. II. Heath and Hiram Carleton
for the prisoner, claiming, if convict
ed, it should only be IN the second de-
gree. Judge Redfeld charged the
jury lmpartially aud at some length.
The jury retired at 6 p. m, and after
being out three hours and fifteen min
utes returned a verdict Of murder in
the first degree. Upon being polled,
eaca answered clearly to the same et-
feet. a large crowd had thronged
into the court room, end the verdict
fell upon the crowd like knell. Carr
seemed the most cool one in the
crowd, taking the verdict with appar-
ent unconcern, seeming not 10 realize
what it meant. Some few exceptions
were taken by the respondent, and
the case will probably 90 to the Su-
prema court. The court was remand
ed to Jail. The jury had scarcely any
difficulty in agreeing upcu the verdict
