Held to the Grand Jury.

The case of the State against Henry johnson,
alias William Lane, charged with an assault
with an attempt to commit rape on a young
woman named Ida Larsted, was called for hear
ing in the police court yesterday morning. The
outrage occurred last Wednesday evening, at
Brewster's boarding house. corner of Sixth and
Robert street, full particulars of which aud the
subsequent arrest of the prisoner, have already
appeared in the GLOBE. The prisoner John
sony is a burly negro, with repulsive features
indicative of brutal instincts and with low
cunning enough for any species of villainy.
Ida Larsted, upon whom the attempted out
rage was made, is young and prepossesslng
Swede. She appeared in court neatly attired,
and is about eighteen years of age. Upon tax
ing the stand she gave straightforward nara
tive of the affair, stating that she was employed
at Brewster's as domestic, and that she slept
over the kitchen. She identified the prisoner
as the man who had passed the house several
times before the outrage, aud who had grinned
as if he wanted to scrape up an acquaintance.
On the night of the outrage she was awakened
by a choking sensation accompanied by some
thing wet falling upon her face and neck. She
felt mans hand upon her person and scream
ed, which frightened him away. On jumping
from the window she noticed pair of black
hands.
Mrs. Brewster testified to finding the chloro-
form and the saturated handkerchiefs.
Mr. J. Stuart, the druggist, identified the
prisoner as having purchased the anesthetic.
The prisoner was sworn and related an inco-
herent story about his doings in this city. He
testified to having purchased the chloroform
for man named Henry Lewis.
Detective Bresette testified to the circu M
stances attending the arrest, particulars of
which have already been given.
johnson was held to the grand jury in bombs
of $500, and committed.

The Nathal English Opera company, which
opens brief engagement in this city on Thurs
day evening in Offenbach's celebrated bouffe
opera, ''La Grande Duchesse," is universally
spoken of in the highest terms by the press.
The st. Louis Times speaks of the performance
in that city thus:
''The second performance of 'La Grande
Duchesse,'' at the Pickwick theatre last even
ing, by the Nathal English Opera company,
was equally rs successful as tha first. A large
and fashionable audience afforded renewed
evidence of satisfaction, and the leading mem
bers of this excellent company won gratifying
acknowledgements, floral and otherwise. A
more evenly satisfactory company of opera
could not have been brought together, and the
performance is eminently enjoyable"

THE CINCINNATI NOMINEES.

The convention which is to name the next
President of the United States will meet at
Cincinnati at noon to-day. ALI of the dele
gates are now present, and they are pro-
nounced to be the most respectable and emil
nent men ever before assembled together for
a like purpose in this country. The special
dispatches to the GLOBE give all the gossip
to be cleaned on the ground, and their Pc
rusaI will enlighten every reader as to the
true situation of affairs up to late hour last
night.
OF one thing the public may be fully as
sured. There is an honest purpose on the
part of all those present to do whatever is
best for the party and for the country at
large. There are no favorite candidates who
will be pressed to such an extent as to cause
division in the party. All of those promi-
nently named have warm and devoted
friends who will urge their selection, but not
so far as to interfere with the known wishes
of majority of their associates, or if it shall
be shown that they do not possess the
entire confidence of the people both as
to honesty and capacity, each will give way
to the most available man, whether he be
from the East or the West, and we have
therefore a reasonable certainty that the
man placed in nominatian will be worthy of
the most enthusiastic support.
With union of all the elements of the
Democratic party in favor of the ticket to be
nominated at Cincinnati an easy victory is
| in store. The Republican candidates have
awakened no particular enthusiasm, and will
not call out the full strength of the party in
November. With popular men, eminent for
their integrity, their craftsmanship and
their capacity, the country can be redeemed
| from the heavy bnrdens of radical misrule
and every department of the government
purified and rendered more efficient as we'll
as more economical. The results are suf-
fciently tempting to induce united and
enthusiastic effort,

A Burglary Fooled.

About o'clock yesterday morning Officer
Zirklebach observed suspicious character
lounging in front of Friends boarding honse,
near the corner of Tenth and Robert streets.
Upon approaching the house the man became
demonstrative and was put under arrest. The
door was open, aud suspecting something
wrong the officer entered the house. where he
was confronted by two men, pals of the pris-
oner who were in the act of burglarizing the
house.
The men were put under arrest and the officer
started for the station with the trio of thieves
Two of the men were with the officer and the
other was ordered to walk in trout. On the
way to the station the man in front made a
successful break for liberty. He started to
run and before the officer could get the drop
on him he was out of the range of the revol.
yer. Having the two men in charge he OF
course could not give the flu sitive chase.
The men were arraigned at the police court,
where they gave the names of George KEMP
and James West. The hearing was continued
until to-day the object being to arrest If pos
sible, the other man. The men are hard char
acters, and the officer is entitled to great praise
for making the arrest.

PRESIDENT TrLDEN,s LETTER.

The letter of President Tilden to the
Democracy of the country is noble, manly,
able and patriotic. He tells in we'll chosen
and burning words the story of a national
crime. Every letter and syllable, every
word is truth itself. By right and justice
TiIden is President of the United States to-
day. He received majority of the vote of
the people by quarter of a million. He was
entitled to majority of the electoral vote.
He was the free choice of the American peo-
pie. He was robbed of the Office. The
people were defrauded of their ballots. ALI
this and more, no one can truthfully deny.
Gov. Tilden's letter will form q fitting close
to the four years drama of trickery and
fraud.
It is noble act. 1t is not an absolute
declination, but an act of self -abnegation for
the welfare of the party and for the saliva
ton of the country. Elected President, he
breaks the silence of four years, four years
of reproaches and abuse, four years of SIAN
der and persecution, and vol
unfairly appears the chosen standard bearer
of the Democratic party at the most solemn
crisis in its history, and returns to that party
the commission he has borne. The act is
worthy of Washington yielding power and
its splendid visions for the peace and retire
ment of Mount Vernon. Samuel j. Tilden
has added to his well-earned fame and, if
retired, he will be remembered by thousands
of his defrauded countrYmen as the noblest
Roman of them ALL
Saying this much, while Gov. Tilden has
not absolutely declined, and may yet be the
nominee, his nomination has been thought
inexpedient, not only on account of the bit
ter opposition in his own State but wide
spread disafection elsewhere. 1t is useless
to argue the causes. The fact exists, and
the party can not afford to take the risks Of
discord. Tammany has little sympathy and
deserves none. Tammany has no right to
dictate to the National Democracy. 1t is an
arrogant presumption that ought to be throt-
tied, and its claims and rebellious howllngs
kicked out of the convention. But the
party Rpst be harmonized, all its
elements united and welded, its phalanxes
reformed, its ranks filled, its army disci-
plined. Rascality in Office, peculation
bribery, trickery and fraud must die

ENGLISH MARKETS.
WEEKLY REVIEW.

LONDON, June 2I.-The Mark Lane Express
says: Rains at the beginning of the week and
subsequent sunshine materially improved the
condition of cereals. Although the wheat plant
in some places is reported thin, generally
speaking, there are sanguine hopes of a fair
average crop. the prospects of barley are also
favorable. Supplies of English wheat in both
Mark Lane and the provinces have continued
small and sales restricted. There has been an
occasional decline of a shilling per quarter for
inferior descriptions The demand for the
little fine white English wheat which was on
offer, has doubtless been interfered with by
large arrivals of Australian. The imports
of foreign into London consisted almost en-
tirely of white from Australia, New Zealand
and India. Trade has been less firm. The
consumptlve requirements of the country dur
ing the next two months should be quite suffi-
Gent to neutralize the tendency TO discount the
effects of the goodihome crop, while the continent
may be relied upon to relieve of fair pro-
portion of the shipments from America. Pur-
chases the past week have been for present re-
quirements. ALI descriptions of white
wheat receded shilling under the pressure of
large supplies. Red has not shared the decline,
as stock of America and Russia now remaining
in London are sufficiently low to warrant hold
ers IN showing great hrmness. 1t needs only
a slight increase in the demand to advance
prices shilling or two, as Russia is shipping
hardly any, while red winter Ameri-
can has been bought off the coast for the CONT
nent, and large quantities have also been
shipped thither direct The ma kets will now to
great extent be influenced by the weather, but
there does not seem to be much probability of
the price of wheat varying greatly from that Of
the previous harvest. If, however the present
crop prospects On both hemispheres are realized,
trade will have to deal with an unprecedented
surplus of breadstuffs. Arrivals at ports of
call have been limited, but prices are dropping.
The coast is still bare of maize. America has
not offered wheat for shipment quite as freely,
but prices continued to decline especially for
prompt shipment. Red winter June shipment
was quoted at 46s@46s. 81, and July and Au-
gust at AS 9d@43s.
Maize on passage and for early shipment, in
fair demand at an advance of 3d@6d. Sales

Water supply for st. Anthony Hill.

About one-third, possibly more, of the city
is supplied with water from lake Phalen. A
large proportion of our valuable residences are
situated on the hill, and are beyond the reach
of the water. In case of fire there would be
necessarily a great loss of property. Again,
the construction of sewers is slowly drying up
the wells, and the time is not far
be done at once by the city authorities. We
are not prepared to suggest just what, but the
city engineer could probably make some valu-
able suggestions as to the best and cheapest
mode of supplying that part of the city now
beyond the reach of our present water supply.
Let steps be taken at an early day to bring
about this desirable object.

that Boylan had surrendered part of the

that the detectives promises of immunity

vindicat,on of MT. Bergh.

1t is due to Mr.. G. G. Bergh to state that on
full examination it has been ascertained that
the diamonds and other valuable goods which
were seized by the United States marshal few
days since on suspicion that they had been
smuggled into the country have been returned
to him. He produced the necessary proofs
that the duties had been paid on them, and the
officer of customs promptly restored to him his
valuable property. This j. just what every
one who knew Mr.. Bergh knew was the case.
He is young man of too much character to
engage in any rascally transaction to defraud
the government out OF it's proper revenues.
Great care should be taken by our officials
who should make no seizures upon suspicion
when the facts are within easy reach.
