in favor of HAIDIIN and HICKMAN, who stand
with us, We. are 'talthe same time anxious to

Mr. Boonanatt,
WO meet all those allegations on the thresh-
Old, and state; once for all, that the Demo-,
°ratio candidate In the Second Congressional
district, COI. MARTIN, Is not "the Lecompton
candidate," but that'he Will vote for the ad
mission
of Kansas, irrespective of Ler
Opulatlon, should she come before Con
gress, in the event of his election—that ho will
adhere to the ,pledges and principles of the
Demoeriatic party 'of 1856—and - that he was
nomidated bye Convention which unanimous
ly reasserted' its devotion to the Cincinnati
Plafforin. = Bealde, Col. MARTIN lEi the repre
sentative._ of ,the business men of Philadel
, phia.• He Is a - merchant; one of those who
are so rarely elepted to representative posi
tions, and we believe that he will be support
ed by'a large 'number of citizens, who have
heretofore differed from him in politics, for
this very reason. -While we have nothing to
do with tho'ser members of the party of
Mr. Minims who object to hiin because, after
receiving the votes of the - friends of Fizz-
MORE and FREMONT in Weber of 1856, in
November of the same year he took ground
in favor of Mr. FILLMORE, this much is
certain, that should Colonel MARTIN be elected
the Representative of the district, he will be
found no' less true to Pennsylvania, and no
less true to Philadelphia, than Mr. Aromas.
For years Colonel MARTIN has visited the na
tional capital for the purpose of assisting the
peculiar. interests ;of our State, and this too
at a time when lie:never expected to become
a candidate before the people. His , pracfi
cal business talent ; his devotion .to Pennsyl
vania; his general' acquaintance with mer
chants from all% parts of the country, North
:and 'South'; his knowledge of public men;
eminently entitle LIM to the support
of our mercantile classes: Boston never
acted more nobly than when she elected
her ABBOTT Lawnincs to the NaConal Coun
cils; and New York never shone more con
spicuous in Congress than while she was repre
sented by 0.0. CAmmtlmma. Let not Phila
delphia overlook this important interest, now
that a good man and an irreproachable mer
chant is presented for her 'suffrages. With these
views, we unhesitatingly prefer Col. MARTIN
RI the present Representative. We trust this
explanationwill satisfy the critics of the New
York Courier .5- Enquirer, and the West Ches.
ter Village .Record, both of whom are so
anxious to go to Congress themselves, that
.they would rather see the Administration
triumph hi its Lecompton policy by the de
' feat of Hamm and Eheiciaeu,,than that these
intrepid champions Should be re-elected.
In the Third and Fourth Congressional dis
tricts' the Federal Administration has suc
ceeded-in nominating for re-election two gen.
tlemenwho have deliberately violated funda
-mentaLDemooratie principles. Tbo Washing
ton the issue to be
decided in the Northern electTcffirtsewnus tm .,..
the 'AdministratioU shall be sustained, not
whether the principles • ; of the Demo
cratic party . shall prevail; and in 'fhr
therance of this theory, the didminsatration
has undertaken the business of nominating can
' lidates . for Congress to be supported 6y the
masses of the Democratic party. Now, while
wo are quite fling that the President should
appoint postmasters and custom-house officers,
and diplomatic agents, we 'submit whether it
is quite 'ihir that he should appoint, or, what
is the same thing, nominate our candi
dates for Congress; and yeti-that the
-Administration has_boon - doing this thing
since it naado -- the policy of Lecompton the
test, is quite as clear as that it has been turn
ing men out of office for not • supporting its
gross betrayal of principle r and pursuing Judge
Douses, the- head of the Democratic ergs
niz ition in' Illinois, as a traitor to principle
because ho will not bow to its mandates.
Hence; we are free to declare that when
in the Third and Fourth Congressional dis
tricts this Adminiatraton comes forward
to select candidates for - Congress to be
voted for by the Democratic party, such
selections or nominations, call them
what you please, are not binding upon that
party. And we have no hesitation to add,
that as,between Mr. LANDT, Lecomptonite,
and Mr: In-mum, anti-Lecomptonite, in, the
Third Congressional district, and Mr. Pum
ups, ..ecomptoriite, and Mr. MILLWARD, anti
tecomptonite, our sympathies are unmistaka
bly in favor of VERREE and MILLWARD iu this
struggle. Mr. PII/LLIPS and Mr. Lawny both
add to the enormity of the interference
of the Administration in' our primary elec
tions and our nominating Conventions, by
invoking the aid of political opponents,
each as the well-known Native Ameridan
leaders, while, at the same time, they are
eager to show themselves the especial friends
of the adopted citizens!! This is a new rea.
son why any nominations made under such
auspices cannot be binding upon any true
Democrat. We discard them.
Thus, then, while we are anxious to see the
men who have been true to their pledges re.
elected to Congress by the votes of citizens of
all parties, we are no lest; anxious to see those
who have been false to their pledges retained
at home,by the votes of citizens of all parties.
Returning now to the First Dongressional
district; what is the clear duty of the people
of that district/ We answer, that unquestion
abliit is to support Dr. GEORGE W. NEBIN
GER, the regular Democratic Popular Sove
reignty candidate, and we have been surprised
that the manifest propriety of this course has
not been acted upon. He stands fair with the
people. He Is a gentleman of rare intel
lect and courage. Ho accepts the living
issues of the day like -a man. He shirks
no questions and dodges no responsibility, but
stands out before the people upon a
plain, well-defined, and popular platform.

RENCE, backed by the Navy Yard, the Custom

ted States; and yet, as if to assist this same Col.
Fr.onzacz, we see a Republican candidate in
the field, a very excellent gentleman, Mr.
RYAN, and an American candidate, Mr.

The honest course in the First district
for the friends of Rvax and Sraoissr,,
is manifestly to support NXISIZIOZIt. COI. FLO

a native-born citizen, as he is, is a member

THE PRESS.--PHILADELPHIA, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 18511;
The Central Railroad—its President,
and its Future. -
To the Editor of ,The Press :,
Eint. I have Just'perused , an elaborate article in
your oolumns on the' advantage' to be expected
r ronv 's ocptinnousroute ef railroad from this city
'to ChlifsgtVankiritit advantage WePhiladelphians
may expect to dative - front this extension •, and
'map, lauding the energies of Mr; S Edgar Thom
;eon— This aide of the story may be all very well,
but we Phibkdeltihiart#l*, nothing to expeot from
either Mr. J. Edger Thomso- or the continuous
route of road of which you speak.
Are you aware, Mr. Editor,• that the fare from
Chicago to Philadelphia is - Alventv two dollars.
whtle the fare from Chicago to New York, through
Philadelphia, is only twenty - dollars. thus compel
ling our merchants to book to Now York who are
always in the habit of stopping at Philadelphia?
Don't you think- that _if, Mr., J. Edgar Thomson
had the interest of PtillUdelphia it heart, he would
atlehat Vat the'fare as low tO, Philadelphia as to
Now York, and not coax our trade oft' to the latter
oily.
Thilaoi - islit is all self with= Mr. Thinrison and
- the - railroad company, and not the interest *of
Philadelphia they look at, unless they want tome
abistanee, either political or poouniary, from our
,merohants. .This statement of foots will, I think,
somewhat alter your opinions of the management
of this mammoth railroad route.
Yours truly,
A MABICIST•STIIZET MERCHANT.
A single word in reply might suffice, and
that word is, that our mot thy correspondent is
mistaken in his facts. The fare from Chicago
to New York is $2O, and the tare to Philadel-
phia is but $l9, instead of $22, as stated in
the above letter. These prices were estab
lished on the 21st July, 1858, and have not
been varied from since that time. Previous
to , that time the fare from Chicago to New
York had always been $2 more than the
price to Philadelphia. The change was made
at the time of reduction by the New York
lines, which was expected to last only a short
time ; but, should it continue, the price will
be permanently s2' less to Philadelphia than
to Now York. But we are not content to
.drop the subject, as treated by "A Merchant,"
without more than a bare correction of his
facts. He says that as we Philadelphians have
nothing to expect from either Mr. J. EDGAR
THOMSON or- the continuous route of which
you speak."
So ' far from agreeing with him in that as
sumption we take direct issue, both as to Mr.
THOMSON and the continuous road to Chica
go. First, as to Mr. THOMSON. Our corres
pondent says that he and his road are "all
self." If he means by that, that while nearly
all railroads in the country are so embarrass
ed as seriously to affect their credit, and to
almost wholly prostrate their energies for the
public good, the Pennsylvania road has been
so ably managed that her resources aro am
ple and her credit equal to - gold, in both Eu
rope and America; if that is what ho means,
then we have no issue with his position. If
he moans that, by Mr. Tuomsox's skill as a
financier, he has maintained an untarnished
name for the city and State, in which we all
take just pride, then we have no issue with
him.
If he moans that, by Mr. Thomson's skill as an
.engineer, ho has so ably and so energetically—
yes,.so• "selfishly,' if you will—applied his
time and talents as to give us Philadelphians
a road across the Alleghanies which is at once
a monument, as eternal as the hills, to the
power and genius of the man, and a means by
which Philadelphia can enter into successful
competition with New York ; if that is what
he means by " selfishness," theb we have no
issue With him. While a "Merchant" has been
wisely and "selfishly"—for every wise mer
chant is somewhat selfish—pursuing his own
business, and is thus enabled to maintain his
own credit, and meet his own obligations, Mr
THOMSON has bean winning his way to the
proud position he occupies by grappling with
the rude mountains of Pennsylvania. By the
aid of his able corps of engineers, and the well
bestowed money of our merchants and men of
wealth, he has levelled every barrier, tunnelled
our highest summits, bridged our widest rivers,
and reduced the Alleghanies to a mole hill, so
far as our commerce is concerned. He has
pursued this gigantic idea until the merchants
of Philadelphia are able to reach, in the short
est possible time, and by the shortest possible
route, the vast and lucrative trade of which,
as we said yesterday, " Chicago holds the
key." He has pursued the true interests of
Philadelphia until a theatre of commerce is
opened to them which has hitherto been
131 " 1 7- , auter_ the control of Now York, and
which, in is better to us
than a mine of gold. For
and steadiness of purpose, the men who had
controlled the various sections which go to
make up the Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne, and Chi
cago Railroad, wore wholly unable—even after
they wore all combined—to finish the road
from 'Plymouth to Chicago, a distance of less
than one hundred miles. ,
. . .
Failing in evers_rooomrce, to complete the
work . ,
,with.tit - bredit and without money, they
tart to Mr. Thomson . in the hour of need,
and he, by his own personal credit, starts the
furnace and the forge, in our own State, em
ploys the labor of our people, when no ono
else could do it, and the last link in this grand
chain of eight hundred miles will soon place
Philadelphia in the front rank of cities, in re
lation to Western commerce:
That vast and fertile country, which has
made cities of over one hundred thousand
people in less than a quarter of a century, is
now opened up to the manufactures of our
city and State. Is that of no consequence to
Philadelphia Are our merchants less shrewd
than those of Now York and Boston? Can
we not take hold of the advantages which long
and well-directed energies have brought with
in our reach? Is it nothing to us that by
this railroad we can reach the chief city
of the Northwest, as well as the larger cities
of St. Louis and Cincinnati, on the more
southwestern lines, and thus command the
trade of ten States and Territories, which, in
less than another decade, will. have more
people than now compose our Union? Is it
nothing to us that we who, as a city and a
county, transcend any other in this nation--
in the extent and variety of our manufactures
—aro now able to trade directly with the West,
instead of sending our wares to New York,
there to be resold to the West at a profit to
that city over and above what her merchants
pay us?
The fact is, Mr. Themes has stood fore
most in building our road, and now is finish
ing the other end of the consolidated route.
If our , merchants will imitate Now Yorkers,
they may command the Western trade. Mr.
TuomsoN's duty is done. Lot our merchants
do theirs.
We believe that true selfishness is the high
est form of righteousness ; that the man whose
selfishness leads him through a life of energy,
to bless the world with railroads and tele
graphs, merits the love and esteem of his fel
low-man. No man can well servo his own in
terests without serving others. We believe
that railroads are the groat pioneers of Ame
rican civilization, and from the bottom of our
hearts we thank Mr. Thomson for what he has
so nobly done.
THE SLAVERY DEBATE.—This discussion
was continued last night. It will terminate this
evening. No question will be put to the audience,
but the discussion will be published to the world
in book form, the affirmative and negative views
being side by aide. On last evening tho tide of
feeling Seemed to veer toward the negative view of
the question, the audience being no larger than
at first, and, eio far as we can judge, comprising
the same persons who have listened to the ar
guments from the beginning. Mr. Brown
low, in in the affirmative, commenced, through
his reader, Gen. Small, hie bronchitis still disqua
lifying him from speaking. Ile reiterated Ms se-
Benton that, from the earliest Agee, the Bible sanc
tioned human servitude ; that down to the reign
of Elisabeth, the commna law of England legal
iced the institution. It is endorsed here by Judge
Story, and protected by the Constitution of the
United States. The speaker expressed himself as
aware of the fact that facts cannot bo driven into
the heads of anti-slavery clergymen. They
"Stuck it out

and perverted the sacred Scriptures to their own
purposes.
The slave provision wss - put into the Constitution
by Washington and Franklin. dots admitting
slave States into the Union, were signed by Wash
ington and John Adams Waehington and Frank
lin refused to abolish the slave trade. Washing.
ton, Adams andiFranklin put into the Constitution
the principle of three-fifth representation of slave
property. by which the South gains thirty repre
sentatives. Washington, Madison, Jefferson and
Monroe. all slaveholding Presidents, were sleeted
by Northern votes.
Slavery is &indent. Hundreds of millions of
slaves were sold in the marts of Phenicla, Greece,
Rome, Britain, and other countries. Slaves by
millions were owned in Greece and other coun
tries in ancient times. These facts show that
slavery found its basis in primitive !meaty—
slavery identical with that of American slavery.

Letter flremOcettiionaL:,
[Correspondence of The Press 1 ,
WABEIINGTON, September 10, 1858
It is apparent from the inklings of foreign di
plomatic gossip, which comes tops-by the last
steamer, that the relations existing between Rus
sia and the United States are of the most frater
nal character. In China, in Jlim upon the
Amoor, and to the north of the British possessions
upon this continent, evidences seem daily growing
more conclusive to the end that the Cm is wil
ling, one might say almost anxious, that a com
mon volley in regard to great international affairs,
should bewailed by us with him 'lt is more than
probable that on the Chinese question we have to
the full answered expectations in thstoespeot.
The truth is that Russia, like America, feels
itself in a peculiar position. In Euippe the
Powers range themselves in opposition to Russia,
and here the came Powers, above board and under
the board, intermeddle and delay the' settlement
of disputes with our neighboring sister Republics.
Gore Ouseley has gone, or is, going, to Central
America; and there is no doubt that he, with
other British agents, have engendered the diffi
culties we have had in New Granada, and with
Nicaragua and Costa Rica, and with
_reference to
the Mosquito coast, and that they also have pre
vented their adjustment. It makes our people
unite uncomfortable, to say the least of it,,
when they perceive that, in defiance of our vaunt
ed Monroe doctrine, England assumes a maternal
care of all the weaker States upon this continent,
moulding them to her designs, and instilling into
them a dislike of the United States. If vre played
the same game against her, with some of the inde
pendent States of India, we would have very soon
an outburst of indignation from England for our
pains. See, for example, bow bitter-and insulting
the allusions are to an attempted building up cf
French trade and influence in the East, and near
the British possessions. It is hoped that the Ad
ministration will sustain a firm and really Ameri
can policy on all American questions—that is,
matters wherein our interests and rights upon this
continent are undeniable.
There is snob a thing as being before and be
hind the scenes in politics as well as in the thea
tres, and it is amusing to hear, as one does every
day, of men who somehow or other feel obliged,
from the peculiarity of their position, to sustain all
the vagaries of the Administration, in public, yet
who are free to confess, in private, the unmitigated
scorn and contempt they feel for its Kansas policy,
its permeation of' Douglas, and its efforts, now
being made daily in many sections of the country,
to control the political action of the people by Fede
ral officials and Federal patronage. Like Matthew
Baguet,, in Bleak House, these men ate eternally
haunted by the idea that " discipline must be
*dne

preserved," and under this delusion their tongues

are fettered, and they Support what they

compt.wtsm will be awfully thinned out. The
American people are, in the main, honest and pa
triotic, and they will not long suffer themselves to
he dragooned into the support of deeds of injustioe
and of tyranny.
The extent to whioh the Federal power hat
gone in dictating to the people how they shall act
in their primary assemblages, partioularly their
Congressional Conventions, has aroused a deep
feeling of indignation. Oar system of government
contemplates that its exeoutive and legislative
branobes shall oath be responsible directly to the
people, and each be perfectly independent of the
other. If the President is to choose our Congress.
men, we may as well abolish the House of Rept*
seutatives, for if his will is to bo supreme in that
chamber, there is no use in subjecting the
country to the present expensive process of
having over two hundred men to record it.
I bear that letter after letter has been writ
ten, announcing Mr. Buchanan's desire for
the re-nomination and re•eleotion of his Le
comptonite favorites. The protracted difficulty of
the Congressional conference in the Sixteenth die.
trlot in your State has been caused by a letter
from Mr. Buchanan, declaring that be desires the
re-nomination of - Dr. Ahl, the present member,
while the people want somebody else. If the mat
ter ended here, it would not be so bad ; but the
fact is beginning to bo clearly understood
that the whole patronage of the Government,
*the $OO,OOO 000 of the people's money embraced
in the annual expenditures, is to be used, to
a greater or less extent, it; rewarding those who
assist in securing a compliance with the wishes
of the Administration. Hard workingmen vbo
have earned a mere pittance of this sem
by their daily labor have been ruthlessly dis
charged the moment it was ascertained they
would not sustain the Presidential favorites, and
others of more pliant wills have been put in their
places. If this thing is to go on forever un.
checked by the people, one set of men might
perpetuate their power. If Congressmen are to
hold their seats by virtue of Presidential favor,
the people can neither expect independence or
regard for their wishes from them. They will
become, not the representatives of the people, but
the representatives of the President, and the
popular control over the doings of the Governi
went will be entirely destroyed. -
When the Washington Union, instructed by la
few Presidential aspirants, started out to crush
Judge Douglas in Illinois, it did so believing that
It spoke for a united South, and for the organiza
tion of the Democratic party in the North. So
thought the backers of the Union. Their experl 7
ment has now been tried, and it has failed fear
fully. The leading Southern papers are nearly
all against the course of the traio2l in its abuse of
Douglas. In Georgia, most of the controlling
journals are bold in their denunolations of this
policy. The Augusta Constitutionalist and Ma
con Telegraph, the two leading Demooratio papers
of that State, and a majority of the papers of the
same polities, take strong ground. And how has
it been elsewhere? The whole Northwest, organ
ization and all, is with Douglas and against his
persecutors, and the man they have attempted to
break down is now the cynosure of all eyes ! It
is not often that so early and so heavy a har
vest greets the labors of the ambitious poli
tician.
Senator Bigler, who vibrates between Washing
ton and Philadelphia, and attends alternately to
the poem:Alice blanks and the Lecompton devotees,
is not very much enamored of his trip to help our
old friend Gillis out of the scrape in the wild cat
district. A gentleman from Pittsburgh, who has
Just reached here, tells me that there is not the
shadow of a chance for the old friend of Morgan.
There is a very decided movement against him in
Clarion, Venango, Jefferson, and Warren, and in
the latter county the Ledger, the organ of the
party, is out against him. There is an eager
anxiety in Clarion county to give Col. Bigler a
good turn, especially since his letter to Stanton in
favor of Walker. OCCASIONAL.

The Convention continued in session until' late
boor the first night, but most of the time was spent
in the discussion of preliminaries. •
It will be remembered that the Railroad Con
ventkin which met at the St Nicholas Hotel, New
York, in July last, determined on a male of prices
for the transportation of freight, and on a uniform
rate of larrie,,..whielt .received the sonotton of, all

Yesterday morning the meeting went, article by
article, over the arrangement of last July, and all
wore agreed upon, with mine exoeptions, the
preventatives of the Now York and Erie joining in
the arrangement. , The points which could not be
readily adjusted were the rules Which fixed the
rates for all rail, and rail and water carriage.
It was finally agreed at the session yesterday to
have two distinct rates, and the freight agents of
the various roads were consulted as to the proper
, rates to he fixed upon.
' - At elate hour last evening the Presidents were
still in session, and, though a definite conclusion
had Pot been' arrived at, matters were progressing
smoothly. and there was a fair prospect for a sails
featory adjustment and a return to, fair prices,
thus putting on end to the present disastrous rail
road competition.
The thanks of' the financial community are due
to the Western Railroads, for their fixed determi
nation to have the matter settled, as well as to the
Pennsylvania Road for its kind interferenpe for
this final and benefioial adjustment.
A. MYSTERIOUS OCCIIRRENOE.—A some
what singular affair, or rather transaction, has
come to our notice—an affair which may, If tho
roughly sifted, bring to light a startling detail of
Grime. In November, 1855, a married woman,
who liad come hither from one of the Southern
States, died suddenly at a house in Green street
near Twelfth, the house then being occupied by a
member of the legal profession and a woman of
doubtful reputation. All the preparations inci
dent to such an ocourrence were gone through
with, but with such extraordinary haste and pre
cipitancy es to cause a vague auspiolon in the
mind of the undertaker that death might have
been brought about by violence. The occupant
of the house insisted that the interment should
take place Immediately, and aeonnlingly.the on
dertaker having been shown the alleged physician's
certificate as to the apparmit cane of death, be
complied with their demands—more, particularly
as they stated that " in Tides interment invariably
took plink' immediately after death, without the
delay which the Northern people have estab
lished." And yet, when the burial did take
Mace at a cemetery in the upper part of the city,
but four persons beside the undertaker were pre
sent. The suspicions entertained by the under
taker soon became known to, and were freely dis
cussed by, others; and, assuming a definite cha
racter, the body was exhumed, and a post-mortem
examination held. The stomach• was taken by
diameter's, for the purpose of analysing its con•
tents, to detect, if possible, the presence of ar
senic. or - snob poisons as may have been adminis
tered to the unfortunate victim. The result. how
ever, of the enalysatlon of the stomach if any
were made, bee never yet been made known.
The deceased was worth, in her own right, a
large amount of property. A little while after her
demise certain parties proceeded to her former
residence and presented a will, which they stated
had been made by her, and in whisk nearly all, if
not the whole, of her property had been left to
them. The will was placed in the hand, of
the proper legal authorities• who proceeded at once
to teat its authenticity. The will was proved in
open court to be a forgery throughout, and it was
also established that no physician's certitloate was
shown to the undertaker. but a paper, written and
signed by the occupant of the house, was substi
tuted in its plane.
Three years have now elapsed, and yet the
mystery is unsolved, and perhaps but for this para
graph would have sunk Into oblivion without com
ment. Will not some exertion be made to bring
out the truth, and if there has been a crime
committed, to arrest the guilty parties, and thus
satisfy the outraged law ? We hope so.
Hstorooto Ire TROUBLE.---_-The backmen have
been getting themselves into trouble for their con
tempt of law and ordinance in ne(oe,pptrave,
their numberexleeolsr-ITTkre placed prominently
upon the inside. The cabbies have the !sloes hid
away under the cushions, or in some other place
where they cannot be men, in contempt of the or
dinance which requires that they shall be promi
nently placed The numbers are also treated
about as cavalierly, for tliey are bidden away
under secret slides, or etuok away in out-of-the
way spots where it would require a sharp search
and a pair of good specs to hod them The law
concerning numbers is very explicit. It is as fol
lows:
"Every such hackney carriage shall have the
registered number thereof marked upon the out
side, and on the centre of the panel of each door
of such vehicle, with white, gilded, or plated
figures, (in the Arabic character,) of not lees than
one and a hslf inch in size, on a dark ground, or
with a dark figure of the same kind and size upon
a lista ground "
"And if any owner or driver of any hackney
carriage shall nee or drive any such carriage,
or permit the same to housed or driven, without
complying with the provisions set forth in this
section, he or they stall forfeit and pay the sum
of five dollars for each end every such offence."
About a dozen were arrested up to yesterday.
They were all held to bail to keep the peace, and
a summons was issued for the recovery of the pen
alty. One of the defendants, named John Duffy,
had two cabs with the same number, thus avoiding
the payment of the license money for one. The
carriages belong on the stands in Fifth street, be
low Chestnut, Broad and Market, and Ninth and
Walnut.
AN ATTEMPTED tr SELL."—A singularly di
lapidated ouatomer, evidently of the worst of the
wharf-rat species, by some oversight, yesterday
wandered out of his usual bent, and being rather
overburdened with the load of villainous whiskey
he had all day been tugging along, was benighted
before he could reach his retreat. In this dilem
ma, and scorning to throw himself upon the hos
pitality of his fellows, so grudgingly, if ever, be
stowed, he pitched his bed for the night on one of
the market.house stalls, where sleep soon sealed
in forgetfulness his temporary sorrows. He was
soon aroused, however, from his rereshing snooze
by the rough hand of an officer, and marched
to the calaboose, the alleged reason for this cruel
sot being that the man had placed himself upon a
butcher's stall, with the intention of passing him
self off for "fresh," whereas he was decidedly
"stale" and unmarketable. We heard some
whisper that the article would be "confiscated,"
or its owner fined for an attempted violation of
the market laws. Thirty days' curative influence
of the work-hone might restore it to something
like wholesome condition, but we think it rather
doubtful.
A Roma CUSTOMER.-- - -We saw rather an
ugly customer yesterday, whose care called for the
o..goisanee of the police. He bad secreted just
enough of the "red-eye" to make him feel bola.
tennis, and like indulging the largest freedom
which Me decidedly rich feeling seemed to prompt
The police did not feel exactly like tolerating hbu
in his wild freaks, and undertook a remonstrance,
which seemed only to add to his excitement. Gen
tle means failing, he was taken in charge, but he
did not teem disposed to yield obedience to the
municipal authority without a struggle, and there
fore pitched Into the officer most furiously. Some
minutes elapsed, during wbioh time, M the lan•
gaage of the street, " things flew" before the belli
gerent customer was taken down. It was, how
ever, finally accomplished, after which he was
tumbled on a dray and carried to the station helve,
while the victorious " star," gracefully spared
upon his batik, calmly and modestly bore the
blushing honors heaped upon him by a juvenile
and somewhat ragged Constituency.
CITY WATER RENTS.—There are some five
thousand houses in the oity from which no water
rent has yet been received for the current year,
and unless payment is speedily made the Commis
sioner will be compelled to out off their supplies.
There are also a large number of houses where
the water is used without paying anything to
the city. The re4son of this is that, through some
overnight they have not been messed. One case
was mentioned to ue yesterday of a running foun-
tain In Chestnut street which had paid nothing for
some time, and which is now assessed at tn. The
plumber who put up the fountain was fined $25
for doing en without a permit from the Water De
partment—the ordinance attaching a penalty to
any change of pipe, hydrants, ,kc., or the con
etruotion of new ones, without such permiation.
The receipts of water rents for the last two
weeks have averaged about $2 000 rer tray, and of
the assessment there are yet some $30.000 due.
DARING BURGLART.—At a late hour on
Thursday night, the dwelling of Mr. Matthew L.
Miller, Igo. 103 t Spruce Street, was entered by
tearing a bar nut of the grating in the rear. The
burglars got into the basement and carried up
gala a lot of provisions, which they coolly devoured
in the dining room, while the family were asleep
up stairs. The rascals finally decamped, carrying
off a few artioles, among which was the key of Mr.
Miller's office in Third street.
PENNSYLVANIA HOSPITAL.—Peter O'Neil,
aged twenty-three years, Wag taken is the hospi
tal, yesterday afternoon, suffering from a etab in
the right side, ihflicted with a knife, by a man
named Thomas Gladden. There was some slight
difficulty between them, which led to a quarrel in
which the wound was inflicted. It occurred on
Thursday night, at No. 23 South street. The in
juries aro not of a very serious ohatueter.
()mums WAGNER, aged fifteen years, was
admitted on the evening of the 9th into St Joseph's
Hospital with severe injuries, produced by one of
the passenger one ' on the Tenth and Eleven streets
line, passing over his foot and arm. The acoident
was caused by an attempt to get on the driver's
platform when the oars were moving at full speed.
Rom Ino.—A train on the North Pennsyl
vania Railroad ran into a bone and cart, yesterday
Morning, at Chatham street, smashing the latter
to plates. The animal was not injured. The dri
ver was not at the horse's head et the time.
ON'BRBOARD.—Yesterday afternoon a horse
and wagon were knocked overboard by another
horse and vehiele, at Walnut-street wharf. They
were toned by the bystanders,

A LARGE CLOTHING EtOtrag.—Among the many
creditable jobbing eatablishmanta of which our city can
boast, we hove hitherto omitted to mention a well

State, is probably ae widely and as favorably known as
any other we could name We allude to the house of
Messrs. Strauss & Goldman, No. 306 Narket street.
above Thicd Tbastock of this firm is very extol:mire;
and the fact of their having kept their hoods emp oyed
steadily through the late panto le no mean irdimati n
of the enterprise and liberality which characterize their
mode of doing business. -To rr erchants now visiting
the city to make their fall purchases, the inducements
which Etrause dr Goldman hold out are certainly de
serving of notice—a conclusion at which we arrived in
recently p casing through the extensive establishment,
and examining the metal , of gacments they display,
and their extensive arrangements for increating their
stook to supply an unlimited demand.
