Seventh street, between Lombard and
Poplar, for being drunk and disorderly
he was also charged with carrying CON
real'd deadly weapons, Il revolver re

was made. For this offence he was re-
CURED to furnish bail in the sum Of
$500 for his appearance at Court.
Alex. Griffin, colored, was charged by
his wife with committing assault and

ton. Her testimonywas very interest,

gnage used by her husband, as she al

refined. He was reprimanded by the
Mayor, who said that if he was again
brought before him h" would inhict the
heaviest penalty. He was let OFT with
s. and costs.
The most interesting case was hand
some trio OF females who were arrested
last night fer being drunk and disor-

street drank and disorderly, and with
out any hats. Th'y are of questionable
character and gave their names as

ALAR aED DEMOCRATS.
Juage Davis Presented - the Man

Juuse Davis Presented - the Man
to Oass the Delaware senator.
The Washington correspondent of the
New York Times to-day has >he follow
ing:
There is a decided feeling of inseou-
rity among the Democrats in reference
TO the tenure Of Mr.. Bayard as Presi-
DIN pro TEN. The Republicans will
undoubtedly make an effort to elect
Judge Davis, or one Of their own num-
Der, but when this effort will be made
will depend ou circumstances. 1t may
not be made until the latter part of the
session, unless some action on the part
of the Democrats should cause it to be
Y.ade at an earlier time than is now
contemplated. Mr., Davis, of Illinois,
is not it appears, entirely satisfied with
having a Democrat for presiding officer,
in view of the peculiar condition Of
affairs that made Mr.. Bayard's election
possible, and knowledge of this fact
is what causes 80 much uneasiness on
the Democratic side.
Mr.. Davis mightnot feel disposed to
vote for Republican candidate merely
to depose Mr.. Bayard, but it is believed
he would not feel at liberty to vote to
retain that gentleman in the chair, and
his failure to vote yesterday for Mr..
Bayard, even after Mr.. Anthony had
been defeated and the question simply
was, "Shall Mr.. Bayard be President
pro tem.," furnishes us foundation
for this opinion. The Democrats hav-
ing only 81 mem bers must receive the
vote of Mr.. Davis to secure the reten-
tiou of Mr.. Baysrd in the event of the
Republica rs presenting one of their
plumber for the office he now holds, and
if Mr.. Davis should withhold his vote,
as he did yesterday, the Republican
candidate would be chosen by one vote.
There il considerable talk among the
Republican Senators Of presenting
Judge Davis for presiding officer, and
it is likely that this proposition will he
made at the next Republican caucus.
Those who advocate this course are con-
tident that Judge Davis would not vote
against himself, and, unless he would
do 80, his election would be certain.
Some Re publican Senators, however do
not favor the elevation of Judge Davis,
simply 10 depose Mr.. Bayard, but these
appear to be the minority, and will
doubtless yield their objections should
the caucus decide up; II such course.
1t it can be ascertaiueol definitely that
Judge Davis will withhold his vote on
resolution to elect MIR. Anthony, the
name of that gentleman will again be
presented; otherwise, the Republicans
will propose the name of Judge Davis,

LONDON, Oct. l1.--This was the sec.
ond day of the Newmarket Second
October Meeting, tho race for the Cesare.
witch Stakes, distance 2 mile, 2 furlongs
and % yards, came off, and was won by
j. Is. keene's three year.o bay colt
Foxhall. Lord Rradtord's FIVE, !, ear old
brown horse Chippendale secured the
second place, and the Duke of Hamil-
ton = three. y year-old bay colt Fiddler
the third place. Nineteen ran.
The betting against Foxnall just be-
fore the start was 9 TO . The betting
on the course was 9 70 = against Chip.
pendale, II TO 2 against Foxha.l, to /
against Retreat and Is to ? against Mis-
take. When rather over mile from
home, Fiddler drew to the front, fol-
lowed by Thunderstruck, Ambassa-
dress, Fo1hall and Retreat. This or.
dor was maintained until a quarter of a
mile from home, when Foxhali shot to
the front, followei by Chippendale and
Fiddler, winning the race in the com
nonest canter by about ten lengths, and
amid great excitement. Fiddler fin
ished a bad third. Retreat followed
Foxhal. when the latter made an effort,
but was eased when pursuit was seen
TO be hopeless. The time OF the race
was four minutes and one second.
The victory of FoXhall caused much
satisfaction among American turtmen
as another proof of the excellence of
the American colts Ia England and a
triumph that would add honor to the
turf on this side of the Atlantic, but the
news did not make much stl. III this
city. The Cesarewitch is a great handi-
cap, and for IA three. year old to win it
with ITO pounds il very creditable
achievement, but nothing approaching
the interest felt in the result OF the Der
by, the Grand Prize Of Paris or the st.
Leger could be- exaited in New York by
any English handicap.
Foxhall was bred by A, j. Alexander
at the Woodburn stud farm in Ken
tncky, and was bough, by Mr. Kecne at
the sale Of yearlings in 1879 for $3.50.
He was sent TO England the same year
and was fairly successful as q two year
Old. This year he ran second 10 Bend
Or in the CITY and Suburban Handicap
in April, and has won the G.and Prize
OF Paris and the Grand Duke Michael
Stakes. He is very handsome, blood
like symmetrical, and before lroVuois
won the Derby was general y consider
ed by En2lis tnrIman the huest type
of the American race horse ever sent TO
