Officials on their Muscles.

This morning Sergeant Whelan and
County Constable Dillon had two pris.
oners at the depot, the Sergeant having
a colored man handcuffed to him and
the constable in charge of the colored
mans wife. The officers were waiting
for the 8 o'clock train, in order to &C,
company the prisoners to Philadelphia.
Just before the train arrived it appears
that the cOlored man endeavored to sir
his hand from the handcuf. Sergeant
Whelan told him to be careful, anl the
man again kept pulling at the hand
cuffs, when the officer caught him by
the throat, knocked him down, and /,
is said by an eye witness that he kick.
ed him in the head and side.
The prisoner commenced bleeding
freely about the head when his wife
going 70 his assistance, officer Dillon
caught hold of her and threw her down.
The woman soon got on her feet again,
when Dillon placed her in the ladies
waiting room. The woman told the
officer that she would remember him
If it was for hundred years to come.' u
After Sergeant Whelan had got through,
beating his prisoner he placed his arms
behind him and handcutfed him in til at
position. At this stage Of the proceed
ings, the train arrived and both pris.
oners were placed in the car, the Off
GERS as above stated taking them ia

A Jury OF Negroes.

RICHMOND, VA, July l5.-George
Lewis, negro, aged 10 years, VINO in
January last murdered his grandmoth-
er in Chesterfield county, and was sub
sequently sentenced to be hanged, hav-
ing obtained new trial, was again ar
raigned yesterday. The jury, much
against the prisoners wish and the
earnest protest of his counsel, was com
posed entirely of negroes, this being
the first jury so constituted which has
ever been empanelled in Virginia to
try capital offence. The testimony at
this trial was much stronger than at
the first, as the prisoners confession,
showing premeditation, was admitted
as evidence.
The murder was most brutal and un.
provoked. The prisoner admits that
his victim ordered him to perform some
trivial service which was not to his
liking, whereupon he made up his
mind that he would put an end to her
dominion over him. The afternoon of
the same day he deliberately shot her
with an old army musket, literally
blowing off the greater part of her head.
The trial lasted until near midnight.
when the case was given to the jury,
who, after an hours deliberation, re-
turned verdict of murder in the sec
ond degree and fixed the penalty at
eighteen years Imprisonment in the
penitentiary.

Clerks net Threatened,

WASHINGTON, July 15.-The state
ment is almost daily reiterated that
the Government clerks in the Depart
ments here are being assessed at the rate
of or per cent. of their salaries fer the
expenses Of the Campaigns in Ohio and
Maine; the idea being conveyed that
they must pay the amount thus assess
ed or lose their places.
This story is entirely without foun-
dation. The clerks are fully alive to
the political issues of the day, and in
tcrpret the proceedings of the Demo-
Gratis in Congress in connection with the
employees of the two houses as a notice
that if the Democrats are successful
they will to man be thrown out of the
places for which they have qualified
themselves by years of experience, in
order that the retainers of Democratic
congressman may be provided for, and
this fact alone inspires them to respond
literally.
One agent only OF the Congressional
Committee, himselfa discharged EN-
ploye of the Senate, is soliciting sub
scriptions. Beyond this nothing is be-
ing done. Every clerk is at liberty to
give as much or as little as he pleases,
or not give at all, and no threat of dis.
missal, actual or implied, is ever con-
nected with the proceeding.

Yachting In q uUder.stOrm.

KINGSTON, Ontario, July Is The
race between the yachts Ella, Of Oswe.
go, N. Y, and Kate Gray,of Belleville,
Ontario, for $3.50 side, took place to
day. The course, of about IL miles,
was sailed over three times, making the
distance 30 miles. The start was made
at II o'clock this morning, under a
fresh south west breeze.
At the end Of the first round the
Ella was three minutes ahead, which
lead had been increased to II minutes
when the second was completed. Dur
ing the final round a thunderstorm and
heavy squall came up from the west
and continued half all hour, compelling
both vessels to lower nearly all canvas
The Ella drifted to the leeward of the
turning buoy, and had to make several
stretches to reach it, while the Katie
turned with leading wind before the
Ella. From this point the Katie main
tained the lead, passing the winning
buoy 4 minutes ahead, a short time
before o'clock, by which time the
articles stipulated that the race should
be completed.

A WiIminElon Ahoe Dealer in Treu.
Joseph Fleming, shoe dealer, now
insolvsnt, who has been doing business
at No. 8 East Fourth street, is charged
by rumor with the commission Of q
fraudulent transaction upon q whole
sale dealer in Philadelphia. 1t is sta.
ted that Mr.. Fleming went to Philadel.
phia and ordered 81 800 worth Of shoes
from the aforementioned dealer.
These he secured on credit and as
soon as the shoes were received in this
city he gave his wife judgment. A
levy was made, the store closed and
the shoes announced to In sold TO day
at 2 o'clock.
The Philadelphia men hearing
through some means or other Of thu
closing of the store, took action and
are in town to-day.
They claim that the whol- transac
ton was fraudulent one aud ss no
advertisement was issued by the insol-
vent, as the law directs that ther-
should be,: this conclusion becomes a
positive one with them.
They will endeavor to stop the sale
should 1t be commenced. Hon. VIM.

In calling upon Mr.. Lore, We

he knew there was no trouble Of

A Democrat @ ebuxe.

WARRINGTON, July 15.-John W.
Polk, late Doorkeeper of the House OF
Representatives, and lifelong Demo
crat, has written a letter for publica.
tion, rebuking his party for its recent
acts of folly. His letter concludes as
follows
The Democrats in Congress have
done more to nominate Grant than all
his friends have, or could do, by affirm
ing solidly the extreme State Rights
Doctrine in their speeches on the Ju-
dicial bill, led on by the Vice president
and Postmaster-Gen of the Confed
eracy. To that pernicious doctrine
must be charged all the troubles and
sorrow that ever befell the United
States, and the people, far in advance
of the politicians on that question, so
regard and condemn it. No matter
what was intended when the compact
was formed, they look at its operations
practically, and justly charge to it the
devastating consequences of the war
and the interrupted relation of the
sections.
But few advocate it in an unreason
able degree, except those TO whom the
civil war furnished the opportunity to
get into Congress. In the minds of the
people it will be blessed day when
it becomes absoIete, and ceases to be
An issue and when We are a nation with
a government not to be shaken and
rent assunder by the wild leadership of
your Toombses and your Yanceys.
1t is beyond belief that the leading
Democrats of Congress should have
walked into the trap Set for them by
the Republicans, led by Garfeln. Their
blindness can be accounted for but in
one way, and that is that they enter
tain the foolish belief that the party
was returned to power on the State
Rights issue.
For one, decline to follow again to
my ruin that ignis fatuus. The SPEECH
es made Oh the floor of the House by
the Democratic leaders to day will
cost the party Ohio in October, and
drive it from power in Congress-.
Gentlemen, You went too far and
made the blunder of blunders by being
drawn into general debate on that
question.

Chester Heights Camp.

The Chester Heights Camp-mesting
opened yesterday. The Philadelphia
''Times" reporter who was present
says: Tents are in excess Of the cot.
tages three to one. Yet this will not
always continue. Every year the mum.
Der of cottages increases Last year
half dozen new ones were erected.
This year eight were put up. Some OF
them are much on the fancy order.
Especially are they so in the square
surrounding the main auditorium.
This is the Walnut street of the camp
ground.
Cottages there will be seen with little
sea shell bordered mounds in front OF
them; with handsome flower pots and
blooming geraniums; with fancy glass
in their windows and fine carved work
at their porticos and caves. The occu-
pants of these cottages generally own
them. Two or three are rented proba-
bly,. With one or two exceptions the
owners are all Philadelphiaps. West
Chester, Wilmington, Chester and Nor
ristown are represented among the tent
holders there.
Tents can be rented from the associa-
ton by any one. But to become a lot
owner it is necessary to have four
shares Of stock Of the par value Of $2t
each. Thus provided the holder gets
the privilege of building cottage on
the ground, which may be his, his heirs
and assigns ct cetera, for ninety-nine
years or thereahouts.
At present there are about forty cot.
tages ON the ground and nearlya hun.
dred tents.
Yesterdays services occupied two
hours, beginning at o'clock and end
ing at 6. About a dozen ministers were
present, mostly Philadelphians. In
Guiding them, the whole number on
the ground was probably one hundred
and fifty. Rev. Mr.. Turner, of PhiIa.,
made the opening address and was fol-
lowed by Rev. Mr.. Stubbs, Rev. Mr..
Thomas, Rev. Mr.. Fernley, Rev. Mr..
Chew, Rev. Mr.. Perrins and Mr.. B.
Schofeld Services were continued
last night. A great deal is expected
in the way of extra services next Sun
day.

100 DEGREED,
The Heated spell-What TIE TheF'
mOvueter Yndicatea.

"Whsw but it's hot" was the gen.
eral expression of pedestrians to-day
on or about the noon hour, as they
sought the shady side Of the street, or
some cool alley-way through which a
draft Of fresh cir found its way. "Pm
off for the mountains" said one, and
"l'm for the seashore," said another.
Men with fans and sun umbrellas,
without coat or vest, hats worn over
disheveled hair, provided the head
wasn't bald, were out on the streets
only because they couldn't help 1t, and
the housewives who had to attend mar.
ket, as they staggered home weak and
weary under heavy load Of vegetables
and provisions, presented . demoraliz'
ed picture.
Every body had something to say 10
every body else about the heat, and one
who wanted to appear much smarter
than another body, thought that the
top OF the thermometer had really
blown OUT" bat his smart remark
didn't make any body laugh worth a
cent" Several places through the
city the thermometer reached 100 de-
gr-es yesterday, but to day 1t seems
to have increased over that.
At IL o'clock noon to-day at the p.
W. & B. depot the heat had risen to
100 degrees, the same at Bush's; lOl
at Bringhursts, Sixth and Market; 10l
at the Republican Office; at Walton's
81; Danforth's 96 and 80 in draft;
Shultz SO; Clayton House in draft 81;
