on Disreputable Pc-Nics" makes charge against the

New York, July 25 1871.


DOUBTLESS hundreds of eyewitness are ready to
testify that they saw nothing disreputabe at the
picnic of the Parasol and Umbrella Makers Union,
but their negative testimony to what they did not
see will not invalidate that of the reporter who has
stated what he positively on the same occasion.
1t is the united testimony of several of our most OBJ
serving reporters that the article in question was IN
no sense exaggerated and we have reason to fear
that the managers OF the Parasol and Umbrella
Makers Union were not aware of half the excesses
committed at their picnic, possibly by persons not
of their Unon but certainly admitted with 1t to the
grounds which they had hired.-Ed.l

The Latest Engagement on the Broadway


Ltne-Ruffians who Net their Match.


On Monday evening DIR. Morrow, a we'll
known physician of No. 1o4 West Thirty-eighth
street, accompanied by highly respectable
married lady, took car 60 or Ga of the Broadway
line, at Thirty-eighth street and Broadway, to
ride to the Fifth Avenue Theatre. The car was
but partly filed. AS it reached the neighbor-
hood of Woods Museum the front door was
thrown open and three roughs of the fancy
breed presented themselves. The foremost en-
tered the car and deliberately sat down in the
lap of the lady accompanying DR.. Morrow.
Scarcely. however, had the fellow settled HIM
self in this unusual and unnecessary seat when
the Doctor reminded him of his indecency by
timely blow behind his ear which laid him
sprawling on the floor.


At this the two companion roughs rushed to
his assistance. The Doctor grappled with one
of them, and soon convinced him that he had
no boy to play with. The conductor a very
sprghtly and brave little gentleman, seeing the
disturbance, instantly pulled mis- bell, at the
same time verbally ordering the driver to stop
the car, and then


MADE FOR THE OTHER ROUGH,
dragging him to the rear of the car, and pitch
ing him over the dashboard into the street. The
doctor made his fellow follow No. l in his hasty
exit, while the rowdy who had been knocked
down was tumbled out by another passenger.


By this time an immense crowd had gathered
about the car to see the disturbance, but no
policeman was visible. AS the car started one of
the roughs shouted to the conductor


1--WE know you we know the number of your
car, and will lay for you"


Whether that conductor has been discharged
TO appease these fellows or not has not been
learned.--N. 7. Sun.

the largest and handsomest illustrated

main attractions upon foreign pictures

rial features which it will be the aim
of its conductors to make of general
and permanent interest.


The success which has attended the
publication of the present volume Of
EVERY SATURDAY, has convinced
the Publishers that there is a large
constituency of readers in this coun-
try ready to support really first-class

ton of the conductors by liberal
use Of the facilities at their command
to continue to place before their read

excellence of its literary, artistic, and
mechanical features will find a hearty
welcome from all classes of people

that the stars which hold their
nightly festival around the mid

mocking US with their unapproach-

We are born to a higher destiny

General Wade Hampton, in let
ter addressed to the editor of the
Southern Homo, expresses the
opinion that the South should not
take part in the next National DEM
ocratic convention for the follow
ing reasons:


First-Southern delegates to the
National Convention could exercise
no influence in shaping the policy
Of making up the issues, or in Sc
lecting the candidates for the next
contest, without seriously injuring
the prospects Of n Democratic tri-
umph; that this would inevitably
be the case, is proven by the result
Of the last Democratic convention,
where the very presence of South
erners was used to prejudice the ac-
tion and defeat the candidates Of
the party.


Second-If Southern delegates
could not, with propriety, exert
any influence in the convention,
while their mere attendance in it
might result in infinite mischief to
the Democratic party, it is surely
the part of wisdom to refrain from
participating in the deliberations of
the convention.


Third-The Northern Democrats
will have to bear the burthen Of the
fight in the next Presidential con-
test, and it is only right that they
should choose the field and select
the standard-bearers.

The following are some of the
points of Cassius NJ. Clay's speech
delivered in St. Louis, on the night

He said he was approaching the de-
cline of life, but believed he would
vet live to see universal amnesty in
the South and freedom from the
present military despotism. 1t was
indeed a matter Of rejoicing that
men had not come to submit quiet
ly to this injustice. We have had
plenty of illustrations Of the dan
gers of Capitalization. This was

man republic, when the provinces
lost their interests and feeling of
