Mr John Quincy Adams, who has been nom
mated for Governor Of Massachusetts by the
Fancuil Hall Democrats, is a gentleman who
has frequently been named for Offices, State
n National to which there was not the least
chance 81 clocting HIM. Indeed II may be violently
suspected that Mr.. Adams does not much care
whether he is elected not. lie does not certainly
care so much fer political success as he does for
having his own way. He is true son OF ma great
grandfather, Of hs grandfather and of his father
Young MFR. Adams seems to take a peculiar satisiac-
ton IN leading forlorn hopes and in being at the IAN
end Of the election returns. No doubt he would
rather be right, according to his own notions of
right. than President Of the United States. al
though it would not break his heart to be Prcsl-
dent. II does not. of course follow that he would
lie right the contrary the chances would be The
other way. But he is rich he Is not III politics for
what hc can make out of it; he bears great
histOIic: name: and ne has resources much more
respectable than those of the ordinary politician.
In fact, the little band OF Democrats who seek 10
keep their party from being used by those who do
NOT belong to it, for their own private purposes,
could not have made Il better nomination. MT.
Adams will poll mote votes than any other candl-
date nominated under such circumstances could
possibly do. though he will come no nearer an cleo
tioa than lac did IN 1872, when ne ran for Vice
President. with Charles VConOr occupying the
other and higher place OH the ticket. Bnt he Is ac-
customcd TO defeat. Twice he has been beaten as
candidate for the Office for which he has now been
renominated. H. knows what tits to be- defeated as
a candidate for the Legislature IN his own little
town of Quincy. lie J, man made 10 be IN
minority and ne wouldn't bc an Adams # he were
otherwise The Massachusetts Democrats IN their
present condition. are in luck to gel 50 good man
To lead he ticket. lie will win the gratitude OF
those vino looked so long for candidate and only
got mo. | thank you." from judge Abbott,

The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania has rendered
n decision that Allegheny County il responsible for
damages sustained during the riot of 1877. The de-
ci-ion in this governs all similar cases. The opinion
of Judge Paxson sets forth that there is evidence
of any serious attempt the part of the local au
thories to suppress the riot at the time Of its COM
mencement. And it is held that il proper effort
had been made at the proper time the mob could
have been held in check. The Judge thinks that it
would have been had the citizens of the
county realized that they were responsible
for the loss "The law Will not toler-
otoD he says, the spectacle Of a great city
looking on with indifference while property to the
value of millions is being destroyed by mob" The
defence was shat the riot was not a mob hut really
an insurrectlon but the Court holds that 1t was
mob and nothing more" The attempt of the Penn
svlyania Railroad Company TO move their trains is
fully justified upon grounds of public policy. and
the argument that goods ia haHsita were not situate
in the county is dismissed as based upon churlish
and Inhospitable doctrine

Six enthusiastic citizens who last year voted in
Boston for General Butler, and in their passion for
that person. voted illegally. have been convicted,
and are awaiting sentence, notwithstanding the
General defended them to the best of his profess
sional ability which isn't small lie had promised
them in public speech that be would protect and
defend them should they be charged with Illegal
voting and we suppose that If any lawyer could
have cleared them it was he. Naturally, he is now
striving to postponement of their sentence
until after electione His reputation for ufalblity
among his followers might otherwise be seriously
damaged. his phopheiical reputation is already.
His foes are reminding the State that IN Faneuil

thing assured, and was only about $4,000 votes
out of the-way.

FALL RIVER TROUBLES.
WOmenand Children Stoned by
the Strikers.

FALL RIVER, September 17.-By far
the most shameful outrage OF the strike
was committed by the strikers this
afternoon. Eight French families, com
prising between seventy and eighty
men, women and children, were brought
here to-day from Larel, Canada. They
have never worked in cotton mill and
are 10 work at the Stafford and Crescent
mills. The company divided into two
parties and one was taken 20 the Stafford
mill and the other TO block on Davis
street. II was subsequently decided 10
remove the latter party to house IN
the rear OF the Crescent mill some few
hundred yards away. The party
consisted OF two men, besides
the agent who brought them
here, four women, and the remainder
young boys and girls from eighteen
years of age downwards. Az the party
came out on the street they were hooted
at by a crowd OF women and children
and some stones thrown. To make the
shortest cut they took what is known as
the "stone-crusher lot" where they
were assaulted by crowd OF one
hundred and fifty people, mostly
men. Rocks were thrown at
them in perfect shower, and
one Of the men, named Bouche, 20
roughly assaulted that man who wit
messed the whole affair said he did not
expect TO see him come out OF
il alive. He was severely kicked
and bruised by stone. Tn,
woman with a babe in her arms WAS
knocked down and kicked. a little boy
about seven years Of age was struck on
the face, and all the little children were
stoned as well as the older persons. The
party separated and ran in different di-
rections, which broke the crowd. The
police were summoned and, with Officer
Hill and the whole Of the district police,
who happened 10 be near by, were
on hand in a few moments, but an
alarm was given at their approach.
The district police are already known TO
the disturbers, and the crowd has dis
persed. Three of the assaulted party
got separated from their friends, but one
is reported to have been found with
some old acquaintance in another part
of the city. More indignation is ex-
pressed by the citizens at this outrage
than at all the others. The cowardly as
sault on the women and children IL
stirring the feelings Of every good citl-
zen. No arrests have yet been made.
