WASHINGTON, Aug. 13-The New York
Herald Of today has the following: There
is the authority for saying that in the event
that President Cleveland should secure a
reelection Speaker Carlisle will be tender
ed the attorney -generalship, to succeed Mr..
Garland, who has repeatedly announced
his determination to retire from public life
upon the expiration Of this present term.
tits an open secret in polite circles that Mr..
Carlisle could have had the treasury port
folio after Mr.. Mannings death but for the
fact that il was not regarded as good policy
at that time to remove him from the House.
Mr.. Carlisle would have been pleased to
fill the Office OF Secretary Of the Treasury,
but il is believed that the duties Of Attor-
ney-General, which are purely legal in
their character, would be equally satisiac-
tory TO him, and his friends who have been
spoken with upon the matter say that
there is no doubt that he would accept.
IL is not improbable that after the 4th OF
March next, still assuming that Mr.. Cleve-
land will be reelected, other changes will
occur in his political household. Mr..
Whitney, rs has been authoritatively
stated in these dispatches, will retire from
the Office OF the Secretary OF the Navy, and
Mr.. Bayard, who is reported TO be not at
all satisfied with his present position, Is
also expected 10 withdraw and return 10
the United States Senate.

when they were joined by DIR. l.. w. llolli-

thereafter the aforesaid Bob Broom with
four other negroes came up, and, without
warning or provocation, commenced shoot
ing into the crowd. Dr. Holiday was shot
through the head. his brains oozing out OF
the wound Robinson caught Broom FROM
behind aud held him till hc had empticd
his pistol. There WIS no shooting done by
the whites. Frank Wallace drew his pistol,
but before lac could fire 1t he was shot
through the arm by Broom and disabled.
Armand White was seriously shot through
the thigh. Tho negro broom was arrested
ON the spot, his companions aud accom-

There was legal investigation Of tho
ease held at Utica this morning, Ia which
the foregoing facts were ELECTED, after
which an angry crowd u citizens Of over

planned by him. lie understood that the

ton was adopted.
