BEFORE THE MAYOR.
Hearings asl Evening-A Family
Quarfei-AO1o smoke than Fire,

Samuel Swell, colored lad, was be
fore the Mayor last evening charged
with cruelty to animals. The suit was
brought by Mr.. Stewar living at 2O7
West Eighth street. Ee testified that
Samuel was in the habit of killing the
pigeons with a slung-shot. The evil
dence being conclusive against the pris-
oner, the Mayor adjudged him guilty
and imposed penalty of S. and costs.
The next case called was family
quarrel which caused much merriment
to the lookers.on. By request we with
hold the names Of the participants, but
we will give the facts as brought out at
the hearing. A daughter.in-iaw was
accused by her lnother-in-iaw with as
sault and battery brought onby the lat
ter using harsh words to the former,
whereupon they clinched and the plain
tiff was struck by the defendant. They
separated but the defendant was not
satisfied with the blow she had struck,
and picked up "a large stone and threw
it at her mother-in-law, but it passed
over her shoulder without striking her
A witness for the defense who was
near at the time, could not remember
what was said, but heard angry words
used between the two, saw them clinch
together, and saw bonnets fly. W. r.
Lyman, ESD. was employed as counsel
by the defense, and he CROSS questioned
the prosecuting witness very closely, so
closely that she becams all mixed up,
and finally said that is all know and
al want is for her to pay tor throwing
that stone" The parties all live III
Brandywine Village, and it appears
that the case had already been before
the Squire, but they were not satisfied
with his decision and the same case
was last evening again before the
Mayor. The Mayor stated that in his
opinion he thought it was only a
family quarrel and should be settled by
them, and he further said that he wish.
ed they would settle these family feuds
between themselves and not bring
them up before him. The evidence
being somewhat against the Defend
ant, she was required to pay 80 cents
and costs and give bail in the sum Of
Slo0 to keep the peace. These family
troubles are becoming too numerous
and if people will persist in bringing
such cases before the Mayor, they must
expect to have their names publish ed.

The slow-fast mail, tor some unac.

A n an Strik es His Wife in a Fit of
JealOusy.

Yesterday afternoon a middle aged
couple, hailing from Philadelphia, ar
rived in this city, it is thought for the
purpose of looking for something to dc
here. Before starting out, however the
man stepped into a saloon near by, to
get drink, when the woman, who
claims to be his wife walked over to
Front and Walnut streets, and meeting
some gentlemen on the corner, accosted
them with the inquiry concerning a
certain party who lives in this city.
Before they could make a reilly the
husband came along, and took in the
situation at a glance, and, without a
word of explanation, delt the woman a
powerful blow which caused her to fall
to the ground. An officer was imme-
diately summoned and took the man
into custody. AS the principal witness
in the case wanted to leave town on
the next train, a hearing was given the
mai on his arrival at the Hall. He
gave his name as John Gallagher, said
he was from Philadelphia and that he
struck his vile in fit of jealousy. He
was committed in default of $40 and
costs. The wife refused to leave him
and occupied temporary quarters with
her brutal assailant.

There are twenty.three persons in the

orders never in the future to fire a

James D. Brady, Esq, Chairman Re

Petersburg, Virginia
DEAR SIR: Your letter of the 10th
of September was duly received. but
not answered at the time because of my
absence from the city. was busy on
my return, and have only just came
across your letter again. As rule l am
averse to taking any part in political
matters outside of the State in which
reside, except where they become ma.
tional in their character. | do regard
the present contest in Virginia as being
national, and therefore jastifying me
and all other loves of their country,
without regard to section, in expressing
an opinion. In conversation ON the
subject have openly and frequently
expressed my sympathy with General
Malone and the Read busters, so called,
in their present contest. l have never
been a sympath:zer with reputation in
any form, but in the present instance
the virtue claimed by the Democracy of
the State of Virginia | regard az all as
sumed. They have had control of the
State for quite a number OF years, and,
as | understand the politics OF the State,
they not only have made no effort to pay
the interest upon their State debt, but
they have prohibited taxation beyond
a certain percentage, which looks to a
determination to pay no part, principal
nor interest. In other words, while they
are in favor of acknowledging the whoe
debt, principal and interest, they are
opposed to paying any part of either.
Hence, on this point, between the two,
| much prefer those who are willing to
acknowledge as much of the debt as
they think they can pay, and who want
to bind themselves to provide for the
interest and the acknowledged princi-
pal when IL becomes due. But in this
contest there is much more important
issue at stake. regard the success of
what is called the Readjusters as work.
ing the emancipation Of all the voters
of the State, and when that is secured
it is matter of much less difference
which party succeeds. It's patent to
my mind that at present and for some
years back, while shere is an acknow-
ledgement of the right Of the colored
children to vote, there is a determina-
tion that his vote s. all not decide the |
success of a political party. When the |
freedom the ballot is given to all legal
voters Virginia will be in a condition |
to invite immigration of people who
will add greatly to the resources as well
as to the population of the State. The
interests of all citizens will then become
so great that no fear need be entertain
ed of bad government, no matter which
political party may have the ascen-
dency. Truly yours,
u. S. GEANT.
