There seems at last some possibility of a
thorough and searching investigation OF the
famous cipher dispatches investigation
that will bring out all the bottom facts In this
case and place the responsibility for these
dispatches where it belongs. 1t has been
known for some time that Tilden favored this
investigation, and would insist upon q thor
ough examination Of the matter. The New
York Graphic tells, In brief, the testimony he
will give before the Potter committee on this
subject. He will testify that he knew nothing
whatever of these dispatches, was never con-
suited concerning them, and was opposed to
any such course as that pursued by his
friends. In fine Tilden appears disposed to
clear his skirts of his friends and place the
whole responsibility for the dispatches where
1t doubtless belongs-on them. This would
seem to indicate thet Tilden Is candidate for
1880. and sees that the first thing to be done
by him is to get rid of that band of friends
who SO mismanaged bis case then; who
spoke for him, wrote for him, telegraphed for
him. and carefully kept away all those who
might have advised him rightly; the men, in
fact, who cheated him out Of the Presidency
to which the votes OF the people had elected
him

have been issued since the act of 1859 to a

situation. Then let the Mayor and Council

the city will have basis from which to act.
She will owe q debt OF something over four

test all other bonds against her, and in the
end the debt will be reduced to what the tax
payers legally owe, which, we believe, will
not amount to more than they can pay with
but impoverishing themselves. What the
aty requires is relief from illegal evidences of

A great deal of sympathy is being wasted
over Illinois and Pennsylvania because those
States will be represented In the next Senate
by Logan and Cameron. Nothing could be
more proper than the election of these two
men. They represent the advanced type of
Radicalism, and are a natural result of the
stalwart triumph In their States.

which fired first. At least five shots
were fired altogether. No one fired
from the carriage but Mr.. English.
As soon as MIR. English drew his pis-
tol Mr.. Atco grasped the hand in
which he held il, and the driver caught
tho other hand. After some struy-
Cling Mr.. English succeeded in getting
his hand out OF the carriage, and fired
till his pistol, for some reason, would
shoot no longer. From the appear
ancc ofthc pistol il seemed that he fired
three times. Mr.. English says he had
all the time regarded Mr.. Daniels with
especially friendly feelings, as, al
though he did not know him personal
ly, he heard that Daniels had inter
icrcd and prevented Rose from strik-
ing his brother oitncr, and he had
been inquring for him in order to get I,
true statement ofthe matter from him ;
he did not know that the policeman
with Rose was Daniels, and he saw
both policemen draw their pistols be-
fore he drew his. BY the time Mr..
English could fire the first shot the car
riayc had proceeded as far as in front
of Bachnan Il Ioumans' Office. The
horse became frightened by the firing
and ran past the Trial Justices office,
and could not be stopped Till hc reach
cu the court house corner, halfa square
away.
1t seems almost miraculous that no
one was killed, as there were four per-
SONS in the carriage. Mr.. Altcc fell
from the carriage and was picked up
in scnseless condition and taken to
Mr.. Marshall's office. For some time
it was thought that he was shot and
killed, but after an examination it was
concluded that he was only stunned by
blow Oh the head received in falling.
Lac last night. however, DR.. Turnip-
seed having made Il further examine
ton, expressed the opinion that the
cOncussion Oh his head had been caus-
cd by pistol bullet grazing it. We
were glad to learn that he was doing
well and Ills wound was not considered
dangerous.
Mr., English was arrested and rc-
Quircd to give bond of $500 to keep
the peace. Policeman Rose was also
arrested and lodged in Jail on the
charge of murder in killing Mr.. John
English, and Policeman Daniels was
also required to give bond Of $500 to
appear before Justice Marshall next
"Wednesday and answer to the charge
OF assault and battery with intent to
Kill. a second warrant was also isSu-
ed against Mr.. j. NJ. English on Il
similar charge.
