The Man Vine Murdered heiiley'

There is reason to believe that the
real murderer of Barney Reilley, who
was killed in the riot at Fifth and Lo
Gust streets, Philadelphia, Tuesday, is
Charles McManus, who is still at large.
Although diligent search has been in
stituted tor the fellow, his whereabouts
cannot be traced, it is thought he is hid
by his friends is one of the numerous
deps that abound in the Fourth Ward.
McMapus is said to be about twenty
three years of age, five feet eight in
ches in height, with light-colored hair
and moustache, and easily recognizable
by the loss of his front teeth-the
mark of an early encounter. de
is alleged to be thief' and
was implicated in the robbery
of Cooper's dry goods store some
time ago. In the meantime the men,
RYAN and Trenwith, who were arrested
at the time of the shooting, will be
held, as they both had used pistols
during the fight. The inquest will be
DELAYED until McManus can be cap

Thomas Bayley Potter at Home.

LONDON, Dec. 4.--The London corres'
pondsnt Of a Manchester paper says:--
"Mr. Thomes Baylsy Potter, Member
of Parliament for R0chdale, who re-
Gently visited the United States. on his
temperance in London. has been
warmly greeted by his friends. The
people OF the United States, Mr.. Potter
thinks, differ in some important
points from our own. They do not,
he says, make fortunes there
in order to found landed families
and the consequence is that possessors
of large fortunes more often devote
them to the public welfare. The mass
of the people are more sober, and,
therefore, able to work more continu-
onsly, if not harder, than our own. Mr..
Potter does not appear to BE- sanguine
as to an immediate advance by the
United States in the direction of free
trade, but he seems convinced that the
policy of free trade will ultimately pre-
vail in the United States, if only be-
cause they are such large exporters OF
produce of the soil. Mr.. Potter speaks
enthusiastically of the progress and
prospects of the United States, and of
the solidity OF the Republican institu-
tions of that country"

NOT SURE OF FLORIDA.
Why Senator Cali Tanks she
Safe Cannot be Counted On in
lssO-A Democratic opinion ON
Southern POIitk

WASHINGTON, Dec. 4. Senator Call,
Of Florida, said to the 81. 'bune" cor
respondent Tuesday that the sugges-
ton that the Legislature of his State
should appoint the Presidential Elec-
tors next year had been discussed,
but 1t never met with approval in any
responsible quarter. He was asked if
there was any reason to fear that the
Democrats would not be able to carry
Florida by a vote of the people.
He replied that under ordinary cir
cumstances, and with any fair chance
|of success, the vote of Florida would
BE- cast for the Democratic nomi-
nees; but If events indicate that the
North will be solidly Republican, and
that there is no prospect OF electing the
nominees of the Democratic Convention,
there is ample room to doubt whether
Florida will fall into line for certain de-
feat.
Another Democratic Senator, who is
well informed on Southern affairs, said
the Southern people are sick and tired
OF being the forlorn hope of the Demo-
cratic party. They are only Democratic
besause that party promises to give
them control of their own affairs. They
do not love the party for its own sake,
and If it becomes apparent that the
election of a Democratic President is
not possible, more than one Southern
State is likely TO fall out of the Demo-
cratic line. Even if the chances are doubt
full and the Democratic Convention does
not nominate good candidate, it is not
improbable that some Southern State
will go over to the enemy. "We re-
member Grant favorably," continued
the Senator, "and recall number Of
kind acts towards us under his admin
istration. 1t would not be hard for us
to support him, or fall into line under
any other good Republican, and make
the best of it. We do not fear the Re-
publican party, and do not believe
there Is any danger to the South in all
this talk of its csntralizing tendencies. y

THE MEN TO TAKE THE CENSUS.
The Selection OF i5O Men for super
vfsOrs the Leading Topic Of the
Hour I'm Washington.

Just now one of the most engrossing
topics of the hour for Senators and Rep
resentatives in Washington is the ques-
tion of the appointment of Supervisors
of the Census.
The law provides for the appointment
of $50 of these officials. Although the
compensation Is only $500, and the
duties are onerous, there are considsra-
tions which make the positions in a
political point of view very desirable.
AS the Supervisors have the power and
duty of appointing a large num-
Der of enumerators in their respective
districts, opportunity for the exercise
OF local patronage could hardly be sur
passed, and it is already apparent in
many districts the attempt will be
made to make the Office of Supervisor a
training school for Congressional as
Ipirants.
The Democrats claim a share Of these
appointments, and will no doubt receive
them. These officials are to be appoint
ed by the President and confirmed by
the Senate, but the work of examina.
tion as to the qualification of aspirants
is placed under the control of General
Walker, the Superintendent of the
Census. The law provides that the
enumerators shall be selected without
regard to party atfiliation, but says
nothing in this respect about the selec-
ton of Supervisors.
General Walker, however, interprets
the act by its spirit, and says that no
political considerations whatever shall
govern him in selecting Supervisors.
He says that it is true that Congressman
OF all parties have called upon him to
suggest names for his consideration, but
no one has yet ventured to urge the Sc
lection of. candidate on partisan
ground alone.
He is very glad to avail himsef Of the
local knowledge and advice of Congress-
men in regard to the qualification of
aspirants. Some of the State delegations
are holding meetings to decide on can
didates whom they will unitedly sup
port.
General Walker expects to have a
list of Supervisors ready to submit to
the President and to Congress imms-
diately after the holiday recess.

A Valuable DOG Found,

On last Monday evening, Mr.. Hunt,
ex-dog catcher, took a valuable trained
poodle dog from couple Of tramps, and
afterwards ascertained that the dog be-
longed to a gentleman named Dolan, in
Chester. Mr.. Hunt wrote to Mr.. Dolan,
and last evening that gentleman came
down from Chester and received his
dog from Mr.. H., but strange to say,
although Mr.. Dolan stated that he
would not have lost the dog for 800,
he did not deem Mr.. Hunts trouble
in securing him worth cent, at least
he did not pay or offer to pay single
dime as a reward.

How Democratic MsJoritiea Wore
obtained - Republicans Hang ed, +,
Beaten, and s.Sirelched."

NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 1.-The fact that
Madison Parish, formerly giving $500
to $500 Republican majority, now re-
turns 2, 292 Democratic majority is now
The arrival Of two or three
trustworthy persons from that region
gives the key to this result.
Some days before the election, par
ties of Democratic bull dozers came In
from the country and made hostile de-
monstrations among the colored men as
they rode through the parish. They
picked out the colored men with whom
the management of the campaign res
ted, and then systematically got rid OF
them.
On Sunday night Dave Armstrong
was hanged at Iorassas.
Il. Ii. Brown, late Postmaster and
Justice Of the Peace, was hanged on
Monday night.
Ex.Sherif Peck was whipped and
then stretched the same night. All
other Republican officers fed.
The polls were then taken cara OF.
The parish'3 complement OF votes was
deposited in the boxes in bulk, all
Democratic, and counted as above. The
negroes and Republicans did not vote,
except in one precinct, where only 100
votes were cast. This operation alone
makes difference Of 5000 votes in IA
vor of Witt.
The robbing of two polls in Jefferson
and the capture of one in Algiers de-
stroyed about 1000 Republican major
ity at these points. Returns from sew
eral other parts of the State show sin,
gular manipulatons, which may be
explained later. New Orleans polled
only half her registered vote. The debt
ordinance on reputation was defeated
in the State.
The Parish of St. Mary's gave 500
majority for Beattie, (Rep.) Before
the returns could be- compiled, however,
the clerks Office WAS entered, and the
ballot boxes were carried off and de-
gtrOyed,

THE NOTORIOUS MCMULLIN.
A Democratic Rough who Dis.

COuncllman-Un Arrest.

The Philadelphia "Record" has the
following:
IL is now more than probable that the
notorious William McMullin will be ar
raigned to answer for the muderous in
terference with the Fifth Ward Dele
gate Convention. At three O clock yes
terday afternoon young man, with
his left hand thickly bandaged and
resting in sling, entered the office OF
Magistrate List. This person was
Michael Lyons, and the wound in his
hand was the result of a shot fired at
him on Tuesday last by Select Council
man William McMullin,
Mr.. Lyons was sworn, and then sta
ted that about twenty minutes after lO
o'clock on Tuesday morning William
McMullin, preceding large number OF
other men, entered the saloon 7O4 South
Second street, and took seats in the
second story front room, in which room
it was the intention of the delegates to
meet.
hurried out of door in the rear
into the same alley, and, as | reached
the steps, saw McMullin come out OF
another door at the other end of the
room. When he saw me he walked to-
ward me. retreated down the alley,
as saw he had his pistol in his hand.
At an intersection of another small
alley, which runs oat on Shippen street,
McMullin fred at me, but the ball pass
I'd over my head. He continued to fol-
low me, however, and | to work my
hands over my breast. Just as l reach
ed the corner ofthe alley and the street,
and was about to turn, he fired an
other shot, which took effect in my
hand"
THIS is the substance of the testimony
that will be corroborated this morning.
