Police Cases.

Bridget Dunca D "a young woman of
fairly respectable appearance, was
before the Mayor this morning on a
charge of drunkenness and disorderly
conduct. Bridget has room in the
house of Patrick Gardner, on Third
street, between Monroe and Adams
and last night she went home drunk,
smashed her dishes and then started
in on Patrick's. She made the dishes
fly around lively, and also broke two
fine pictures, valued at eight or nine
dollars. Patrick at once went TO pos
lice headquarters and got warrant
for her arrest, which officer Cham
bers promptly served. Bridget, how
ever, strenuously resisted arrest, and
made such a shameful exhibition of
herself that officer Chambers, for
decency's sake, summoned three men
to his assistance and carried her to
the police station. During her scuffles
she fell and bruised her face badly.
The Mayor fined her SIS, with costs.
Bridget is a married woman but her
husband is disgusted and does not
wish her to return home.
Frank Kiefer and Mathew Nestor
for drunkenness and disorderly con-
duct, were fined 81 and costs each.

An Incendiary's Work.

1t now seems highly probable that the
fire which destroyed the residence Of
VIM. DUPONT, at Green Hill, near this
city, early yesterday morning, was the
work OF an incendiary. The fire was
discovered by the domestics, Miss Dough-
erty and Miss Phillips, who occupied a
second story room in the frame addition
to the house, aud they assert that the
flames burst forth simultaneously from
both sides of this frame building. They
also insist that there was no fire iD the
range during the evening. Miss Phillips
and Miss Dougherty escaped from the
house by means of ladder, the former
losing all of Ler cloths, but the latter
fortunate enough to gather together most
OF her clothes and also to save her gold
watch. They aroused George Ayers, the
coachman, why occupied second story
room in the forward part of the main
building, aud he stopped long enough to
take from his trunk $500 which be had
stored there. He barely had time to re-
cover bis treasure, and was slightly
burned before he got out of the house.
All The contents of The upper part of the
house were burned, but down stairs the
silgerware, piano and other articles of
furniture were recoved. The loss will
amount to about $500, on which there
is no insurance. Mr., DUPONT and his
family were at Long Branch when the
fire occurred, but returned last evening.

A Proposed New State.

Southern California, or, as it is call
ed, the orange region Of the State, is,
it seems anxious to secede from the
other sections of the Commonwealth
and set up in business for itself. With
this object in view a convention has
been summoned to meet 10 Los Angeles
next month, when iJ is believed mea-
sures will be- adopted looking to the
proposed division. The alleged cause
OF the row is feeling of dissatisfaction
with the State government, which, it
is asserted, favors interests opposed to
the southern section. To cut State
in two on pretext of this kind is SIM
ply absurd. On the same theory New
York and the adjacent counties should
have seeded long ago from the north
.rn and western part of the State, for
however badly Southern California is
treated by her northern division it can
not possibly be in a worse condition
than our own Hudson River and sea-
board counties. If policy of thit
kind were to prevail all over The Unior
we should in short time have as many
Stales az we now have counties. The
division of California, however, is moi
o new idea. Before the war, when the
slave power was stretching out for
empire, it endeavored to secure par
tition such as is now contemplated the
intention being to make it slave
