,The Disunion organization in 'city or
Philadelphia, and in the State of
yenta; seems to be in a consumptive condition.
Soule disease has certainly. ittaelied its vitals.
These who roared so loudly in the index, at
Charleston and at Baltimore, appear to have
retired by coalmen consent and arrange
ment' to their own houses,-or are consoling
their censeienees ; ,and pooling their , Tows in
aristocratic ,country—seats, or at expensive

I , committed to the tender care of our forcible
townsman Mr. Reirrif Fairmont', and a few
others attahced to the custom house and poet
office; Who have nothing to- do in theiriinug
'genes, save to discharge the, obligations
imposed• open. them • by their wealthy
leaders.. The • machinery- of the organiza
tion. in this. city • is, unquestionably, in, a
I sickly and a ricketty condition. Mr. Was. B.

teut with•-an occasional visit to his

itolities, and is 'now an active member of the
Secession Comniittee at our National Capital.
Hein. Jostan,RANDaii-has delivered no
speech„ whatever ho may have, printed,
since; his return from the stricken fields of
Charleston • apd Baltimore. Mr. VAN DYER
treats the whole affair with caustic contempt,
!:probably„because it is in -the hands of the
office-holders. Even Mr. GEORGE it.,Wnsit
.24nr, the new United States Attorney, has not
'deigned to. open his month—doubtless satis
fied with the fees that reward his rhetoric in
the District Court. More Wonderful than all,
Mr. VrtorNr L. liaanronp—much more eager
. to speak than his audiences are ready to hear—
has become strangely silent. What does it
mean , Dave the leaders become ashamed of
'the movement they initiated? Are the cap
tains disgusted - with the responsibility, they
have assumed 1 Is this 'bad scheme of Dis
union to be left to those who advocate it only
at their command ? and is the whole disgrace
to be packed and piled upon the shoulders of
the subordinates? In the interior of the State
things are no bettor. The chairman of the
State Central Committee, Mr. WELSH, after
exhaubting himself Wows or two flatulent let
ters, hag refuited•to' make a speech in favor of
the Diatuileniste, and has, so rumor runs, even

The editors' of the concern either raise the
two flags of ,lbtroxiariamar and Docarts
at the head of their columns or refuse to
raise any name+yith . a few desperate
and well-paid exceptions, such, for instance,
as the lately revived• organ of the Ad-
Miniatration. In this city, and the Reading
Gazette and Democrat, the editor of which,
after taking a ge bribe" from the Administra

Southern Travel to the North.
It Will do the heart of the true American
good to notice the unconscious comment made
by the' Southern.' people iipen the efforts of
the Southern Secession politicians to Mike°
them to avoid all intercourse with their friends
and relatives, their brothers and sisters, in the
free States. These enemies of the Union—
taking advaitage of the great panic in the mo
ney world, and exulting in the fact that, while
the crops in many of the free States have
failed; the cotton crop last year' produced
onornionsly—have congratulated themselves
upon Abet they regard as evidences of a per
manent 'alienation between the North and the
South.., But_ every day proves the folly of
such gloom) , expectations, and confirms tri
umphantly the, enduring affection existing
between all the people of this Union.
ThlitWe are on the eve of a great revival in
business most be' apparent to every sensible
merchant and mechanic. The revival in ship
building is one of the' most gratifying indica
thms:of th & t r uth.of_tht......yettoz --- Tlfe — tihip
ids, North and ,South, are being filled with
Workliog men. The abundant. craps in the
northivestern States and- Territories, notwith
standing , the 'prOtracted drought, contrasted
with, the failure 'of the European crops, is an
other 'healthy and grid Dying sign. The enor
mew ; quantity' of coal dug out of the mines
and, transported to the different ports, North
and South, is an element that enters into the
generid revival of Internal commerce. But
nothitentere clearly establishes the existence
of the fact of the kindly feeling that continues to
knit die Southern people to all other sections of
the Union than the unprecedented travel on
our railroads within the last six weeks. The
trains hum the See:ahem States aro crowded
with ' passengers,—men of wealth accom
panied 'by their families, seeking the cool re
treat of Sharon; Saratoga, Cape May, Atlantic
City,, Ephrata, Bedford, Cresson, Delaware
Water Gap, Loretto, and Carlisle White
Sulphur Springs. The lists of arrivals at our
hotels are crowded with Southern names, and
our merchants, a little too apt 'to be terrified
by the cries of the petty paid politicians in
their midst, may now, calmly prepare for a
business season of. unwonted and gratifying
activity. In the presence of such exhibitions
as these, and particularly' in view of the
known conservative feeling of the masses of
all parties—a feeling produced by the lessons
of the recent past—a feeling which will rend&
any administration of the Federal Government
that m 4, be; inaugurated on the fourth of March
MOD; worthy of the respect and confidence of the
Southein people—how futile' and how feeble
are all the efforts of the mere, politicians to
destroy fraternal relations between the two
great sections pfour happy Union' I
The New York Republicans.
Tho Republicans of New York aro becoming
quite animated among themselves in reference
to candidates for United States Senator, Go
vernor, and State officers. Senator SEWARD'S
unddrstood intention to retire at the close of
his present senatorial term has sharpened the
ambition of many gentlemen to become his
successor.. Governor Homan has been en
aspirant for the position, but as, it is said, he
cannet'rely upon the support of Mr. SEWARD
or Mr. REED, his change would, at best, be but
doubtful. Re has, therefore, wisely resolved
to withdraw and devote) his energies to a
re-nomination to the Governorship. He is
"a good enough Morgan" for that, but
is scarcely adapted to a seat that has been
filled by a MARCY, VAN 'BUREN, WRIGHT and
SEWARD. But even for the gubernatorial
nomination his Excellency will not bo with
eir4comPetitors. Prominent among themwill
be 1 . 0 1 / 1 1dJAHES M. COOK, ofChemung, Speaker

give him a strong run if they go into the con
test in , earnest. The chances, however, are

The New York Herald says that the British

a grand ball to the Prince of Wates, at the

that given to the Japanese. The details, how

of :quitea,different sort. One of the Ix-

WASHINGTON CORREpPoNDEIME.
- Letter front 410vensional.”.
f.Correepondotioe of Tito Preart.l '
WARIIINGTON, Aug. b,lBOO.
Wo have had. two excitements during the week
which olosed on Saturday—first, the departure of
large company, of both settee, foe the Chesapeake,
in order to enjoy a eight of the British leviathan,
the Great Eastern the other, the arrival of the far.
famed Chicago &names. This extraordinary corps
reached this city at six o'clask en Saturday morn
ing, and left in the evening. Their first visit was
to the Mime and grave ofWaskington 'and oh thbit
return paid their respects to the (Met Magistrate,
who addressed Wilt In it characteristic speech, to
which Col. Ellsworth responded. Their evolutions
exalted as much enthusiasm and amazement among
our resident population at in the East* Cities.
Ono good result' will flow front this tour of the
Chicago Zonaves: it Will inspire new rivalry among
the young mem in all parts of the country. They
have 'been greatly criticised, but the most experi
enced military men, even home of the martinets of
the regular army, have volunteered the opinion
that they far surpass anything that West Point
itself has yet prodded. A writer in the National
Intellzgenter, a day or two ago, no doubt a gradu
ate of West Point, says that while the United
States military academy may bo capable of doing
what the Zoueves have done, it is °bailie that its
scholars have not yet attempted it.
In a month or two :Cavelike of Zottavee will be
the rage everywhere. The xenowned Seventh Re
giment, of New York, whisk has Belong borne the
palm of superiority, wilt be eempelled to strike out
a new path, or to surrondee be the Chicago" Busk
ers." Even in South Carolina the eentagion to imi
tate the Zouaves has become Irresistible. The city
of New York has claimed ) and with justice, to
possess thellnest volunteer military orgaization in
the United Stites. Philadelphia, with her Patter
sons anti Cadwallader°, has fallen behind in the
race, and Washington, until the Seventh Regiment
visited here, some months ago, never boasted of
much of a military establishment. Now, however,
that a new fashion hat been set, and the success of
severe drill applied to young men of sedentary
habits demonstrated, especially in connection with
the plan which inetcorably enforces sobriety and Peo
vides a system of mutual preteetion on the basis of
the old benevOlent Moieties, our male population
from eighteenth thirty years of age, may be onrolldd
all over the country, not only with advantage and
profit to themselves, but to the nation at large.
The fault of the volunteer system of the United
States has boon in the fact of its being a mere holi
day pastime. Gaily-dressed soldiers, called out at
intervals, marching our streets, apd attracting the
attention of the fair eon—occasionally indulging
in target practice, and generelly in largo supplies
of intoxicating liquohi—this has been the begin
ning and the end of the whole experience. If the
Chicago Zonaves can extend their example to all
the States of the Union, they will have conferred a
great benefit upon the country, not rally in im
proving the health and phyoielle of our young
men, but in organizing 11 vast body of troops for
any emergency. What an admirable plan it
would be, if, in connection with such an organi
zation, libraries could be established, gymnasia
conducted, and the broods of dissipated city
clubs wiped out of existence ! It is a subject
well worth the attention of the Legislatures of
the different States. But in ordne to secure a
vigorous reorganization of our local uniformed
militia, it will become necessary for the youhg
men of the cities, towns, and villages everywhere,
to take the matter into consideration, and to entitle
themselves to the generous attention of their re
presentatives. It is a fact that need not be dis
guised that the militia system of the respective
States has boon permitted to fall almost into con
tempt. I have stated the causes now, when a
noble example has been set, and when honorable
emulation may be excited, greatly to the advan
tage of the physical, intellectual, and moral im
provement of our youth. Let us see whether it
will be followed up.
Postmaster General Molt does not, I am told,
consider himself a regular member of the Cabinet
of Mr. Buchanan. He is, I believe, cenneoted with
the Wlokliffe family of lientrioky. The father,
ex-Governor Wickliffe, of Kentucky, and the son,
ex-Governor Wickliffe, of Louisiana, are both
active Douglas men—the latter constantly on
the ground here as ene of the head men of the Na.
tional Douglas organization. The Poet Office De-
Vattecent, if it has yielded to proscription, has
done s 6 only when directed by the Venerable Pub
lic Functionary at the head of the novorran'ora.

former in truth, and More careful to make repute.'
lion for hiraself in his Department than to stand by
and assist the executioners in their war upon indee.
pendent Democrats. He it was who, more than
twenty years ago, electrified the country by bic
noble speech in defence of Richard M. JohnlOn, in
the Baltimore National Convention, when an at
tempt was made to °attache old Diok by cer
tain of the pi:Moises. His speech on that
occasion was a model of eloquence, and is still
quoted as among the fined specimens of American
oratory. Mr. Holt mad* one 6f the most over
wheming arguments in favor of popular sovereign
ty, in 1856, on record. This may induce hint o
ptima and ponder anon the polio of aiding Mr.
Buchanan' in his unholy and cruel crusade upon
independent men. A single extract from hie great
Venda delivered to the Demoorats of Frederick
city, Maryland, in 1856, will show how be felt then
on the great issue which continues to divide and
distract the country :
"All the Territories since organized have been
provided.with Legislatures chosen by the people,
and amenable tolthem, and performing without ob
jeotion the ordinary functions of that brand' of
the law-making power. Congress has never
sought to give rzvtl or ertmtnat codes to the
Terratortes after their organization ; it has not
defined the rights of property, regulated matters
of police, established or controlled the tnstitrason
of marriage, but has left all these great interests
to the care and management of the local Legisla
tures. Does not the institution of slavery stand
uponrectsely the same foams , ? it seems to me
utterly impossible to distinguish it front the
other subjects °floral legislation to whtch I have
referied."
, I have no doubt if Mr. Bolt could speak his
honest thoughts he would laugh heartily at the
idea of changing this noble logic in auppott of self.
government, on the false ground that the Supreme
Court of the United States has decided against the
right of the people to vote upon the institution of
slavery in the Territories.
- You would hardly believe it, but Mr. Buchanan
is excessively indignant at what he calls Judge
Douglas' stump speaking In New England.
Our aged President has a strange way of forget.
ting himself. Does he not know that he was the
first to set the example of snaking a violent and
undignified stump speech under the very portals of
the White House itself? Does be forget that Joe
Lane has been billeting his vulgar =tomes, and
his empty vanities, upon the people wherever he has
been called upon? Judge Douglas, discarding this
example, has characteristically taken the bull by
the horns, and has thrown himself boldly before
the people, stating his cause with singular can
dor and force, captivating and conquering bun
dreds and thousands by his ability and courtesy.
I heard a loading Republican gay yesterday that
he regarded the report of the speech of Mr. Dou-
glas at Concord—copied from the Boston Herald
-84 one of the most convincing and spirited efforts:
among all those made by the distinguished Illinois
Senator. Why [should not Judge Douglas meet the
people face to face when he sees the President
trampling under foot all the sacred precedents of
Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, Jackson, Van Buren,
Polk, Fillmore, and Pierce, and turning this whole
power of the Federal Government against every
man of principle? Is he not right in striking out
a new field and going to the source of power?

THE MASSIAORES IN SYRIA.
In the British House of Commons, Sir J. Fergu
son called the attention of the house to an article in
the Constitutionttel, giving an account of the
steps taken by the French Government to put a
stop to the massacre of the Christians in Syria,
and asked Lord J. Russell whether be had taken
any part, in his position of Foreign Secretary, to
prevent the continuance of the terrible massacres ;
he also asked whether It was true that peace had
been agreed to between the Whet) of Lebanon, and
whether her Majesty bad consented to the inter
vention of the French Government in Syria.
Lord J. Russell said It was the general impression
that the Turks had not done all they could to stop
these massacres, although it was true that the
Sultan had sent a considerable body of troops Into
the disturbed districts. Her Majesty's Govern
ment could not object to European troops being
sent to Syria, and a convention for that purpose
had been signed, to which England, France, Rus
sia, Austria, and Prussia were parties. It was not
yet ascertained what steps the Porte would take.
The Paris correspondent of the Herald says :
The telesraehie letter of tbe Sullen to the Emperor,
dated the lath of July, has, in some measure, checked
the growing agitation on the Bourse; but It Is °mien
that it will have no effect in &tanking an immediate
interposition on the part of France, with or without
the participation of the other European Powers It is
me of those eases In which public sentiment would
aciplY Justify indi% ideal interference if there were any
Indorosition on the part of England.

SICILY AND NAPLES
ENGLAND
In the House of 001111110118 on the 234 nit., Lord
Palmerston listed the intentions of the Govern
ment relative to the defenoe of the country. He
proposed that the recommendations of the recent
oommissloners—whose report has been published—
should be substantially carried out. The defence
of the various dock yards is the principal prepo
sition, and the estimated on flay is £9,000 000
sterling which is Intended to be raised by moans
of terminable annuities, expiring in thirty years.
The requirement for the present year is .C 2,000,000,
which it Is proposed to raise at once with a view
to the immediate prosecution of the works, and to
raise from year to year such additional sums as
May be required.
Lord Palmerston espatlated on the tisngdr td
which the count* , was etposed from invasion, and,
alter pointing to the large army maintained in
France, which Is always ready for aggresslyo pur
poses, lie doCiared that England ought not to be de
pendant upon the forbearance of another Power for
its freedom from attack.
The consideration of the subject was postponed
till tho 30th of July.
The preposition was generally received with fa.
vor, partidularly by the Tory party. The Peace
party regard Palmerston's speech as a manifesto of
distrust towards Franco.

" Last evening a latgo crowd gathered before

performance in the Hungarian theatre a man ad.
dressed thelublio in the Hatvanes Game. Several
seditious cries were heard. The guard who inter

The London Poses correspondent at Rome, wri
ting on July 17, says that of the one hundred and
forty-tour mon sent back to Ireland at the expense
of the Papal Government, sixty-four were declared
unfit for service by the medical officers, and forty
were discharged en tnasse, having belonged to the
Irish constabulary ; but whether from this fact, or
from their own disinclination to serve on terms so
far inferior to what they had been accustomed, the
writer is unable to state. A statement drawn up
by one of the constabulary, late of Dublin, declares
the Irish aro treated in a most disrespootful, cruel,
and treacherous manner by the Roman authorities.
They are trampled on by the Government, hated
and detested by the people of Italy. The Poses
correspondent says that letters are being regularly

in obtaining their release.

TERRIBLE 11011WiDE IN THE FOUR-
TEENTII WARD
Thos. Burke, late Sergeant of Police, killed
ill a Fight with Addis ilayes,
On Saturday night a fight occurred on the Ridge
avenue above Vine street, between Thomas Burke
find Addis Hayes, which resulted in the death of
the former. It is almost impossible to obtain nay
reliable statement, eitbdr of - the difficulty or the
darreee that led to it, ad there deerds to be an anx
iety on the Part of those who know anything of it
to screen Hayes as much as possible, 'Whilst setae
attribute the fight tb an old grudge, which had
existed between the two men ever since they were
connected with the police force under Mayor Veils,
others say thatllayes had insulted Iturkeis wife;
and for this the latter attempted to whip him.
Tho liarticulera of the fight, se far as we have
been enable to gather them, are as follows : About
a quarter of 12 o'clock, on Saturday night, both
men accidentally mot at William McGowan's
tavern, on the northwest corner of Ridge avenue
and Wood street. No Words passed between them
while In the bar-room; Burhe only remaining there
a few minutes and then going out and standing on
the pavement in front of the house. As flues
came out, Burke accosted him with "Hallo, loafer. { '
Hayes replied, don't know that I am a loafer'
I pay for what I get." Burke again said, " Go on'
loafer," and Reyes without replying went down
the Ridge avenue towards Vine street. Before he
had proceeded far, Burke, hastily puttirg on his
coat, ran across to the east side of Ridge avenue
and then down to Vine, where he recrossed and
met Hayes.
here, it to raid, be provoked him into a fight,
Hayes striking Burke for shaking his fed under
his nose. They streak at ono artothet, Clinched;
and struggled out to the middle of Ridge atenne i
where Mayes succeeded in getting Burke by the
throat, and choking him at the same time that he
hit him several blows in the ribs. This severe
punishment brought Burke to his' knees, and he
trice Cried " enough " before Reyes let go his
hold. A crowd Lad collected around the scene,
and several pertons picked Burke Up-Mg carried
him over to the drug store at the northe'sat corner
of Ninth and Vine streets, whilst Hayes was al.
lowed to escape by running out Vine street,
Burke was in a dying condition when taken up.
and expired a few minutes after moiling the drug
store, first making two ineffectual efforts to swal•
low some water, which, it was thought, would re
vive him.
The above is one of the many accounts of the
affair Iron by persona who witnessed it. It is
said by some that lieges had n slung-shot, with
which he struck Burke, while others state that
there were two other men in company with hire.
who held Berko down while he Waked him in the
head and neck.
. The body of Burke was removed to the police
station at Spring Garden Hall Shortly after the
occurrence, and yesterday morning, at 7 o'clock,
an inquest was commenced, Alderman Plankitt n
bitting in the place of the coroner, who Is absent, at
tape May.
Dr. S. P. Drown mndo a post•fiioltem examina-
tion of the body, but be was not ermined, and
1 ery little testimony was taken, the inquest ad-
journing over until 7 o'clock this evening. On th.
OM/a/Dalin of the body, two severe abrasions of
the skin on the left side of the neck were disco
vered, evidently caused by heavy blows or kicks,
and both ears were blank. These wore the only
external signs of violence. On scalping, there was
found an effusion of blood into the left temporal
muscle, and, on opening his head, blood poured out
on the surface of the brain.
We believe Dr. Brown will teat fy that the clause
of hie death was this blood in his brain, the ap
pearance of the body being that of a man who had
died from an attack of apoplexy. All who wit
nessed the fight agree that both men were in
liquor at the time it took OA.
Mr. Burke was twenty-nine years of age at the
time of his death, and has always resided in the
old distri6t of Spring Carden, where he is well
known. Ever sides a youth ho has been an active
adherent of the Fairmount Engine Company; and,
some years ago, in tight between that company
and the Moyamonaing Hose, be me stabbed in the
abdomen, and so dangermisiylityanded that fo
many weeks his life was despaired of. He was a
powerful man, over six feet in height, but, unless
roused by some sense of wrong, of a very quiet
and peaceable disposition.
Mayor irau.± appointed him a Sergeant of Police,
in wbioh capacity he serted With great credit to
himself, occasionally Oxeitini tho enmity of the
men under him by the striot discipline be en.

force at the same time, and, we believe, was under
his command. He wax arrested yesterday morn
ing, at about one o'clock, at a tavern on Ridge
avenue, near Brown street. lie did not seem to be
aware that ho had killed Barker, and asked the
effacer who took charge of him, " Tom has not got

that Burke was dead, he expresseugrvarnurprme•
__Hayes is a short, thick-set man, but, judging
from his physical appearance, no match in a fair
encounter for Burke. It is almost impossible that
he could have indicted the deadly injury he did
without some outside aid, and we hope that the
most searching examination' of tho witnetsea id
the case will be Made this evening, to ascertain the
true facts of the murder. We learn that Rapti!'
friends were busy yesterday In bushing the matter
up, and this should make the officers of justice
more active In• bringing forward every particle of
evidence bearing upon the ease.
ItEfORT OS' THE nononzn's INQUEST.
Tho coroner commenced an inquest on the case
at the Fourteenth•ward station house, when the fol
lowing ovidenco was elicited :
John Gogler reside at 1018 Mechanic
street; Burke and I came from Tnomas' Opera
House, in Arch street, about fifteen minutes of 12,
and went to Aldlowan's tavern at Ridge road and
Wood street; we took a drink ; he stood up and I
sat down ; ho went out, and directly 'afterwards 1
heard a noise in the street, and went out to see if
McGowan was there ; I don't know whether he was
there at the time or not; when I got to the corner
of Ninth and Vino streets, Hayes and Burke were
fighting; I can't say who it was I saw, but they
said It was Addis Hayes and Tom Barka; they
were then in the street; I saw Hayes strike
about three blows and a couple of kicks were
given; after it was over Hayes walked away, and
Burke staggered over lore my arms; I. took him
to the drug store at the corner of Ninth and Vine,
and that is the last I saw of him until after be was
dead ; I saw Hayes strike Berke three times and
kick him twice; Burke at the same time had
Hayes by the hair ; saw flayesabout three minutes
before the occurrence, and he wee then very drunk;
Burke also was very mush in liquor; I don't know
how the quarrel originated ; I never beard of ani
mosity between them; I am positive no one but
Hayes either kicked or struck deceased whilel was
there.
The inquest adjourned until seven o'clock this
evening, at Spring Garden Hall.
THE ZOLTAVE: FEVER.—The wonderful

Escape of Col. CANISEI, tke-F'orgeh
. .
Colonel James Duchene's Crow, the celebrated
forger, made bid escape on Saturday while being
brought from prison to court. Daring the early
pert of the term the Colonel vvas convicted on a
charge, of forging a chock upon D. & F. Crawford,
for some;lOO. After the conviction there wea
motion for a new trial, but, as Cross bad forgotten,
to foe hie counsel, for the trouble in the fast in.
stomas, they were in no hurry to argue the motion.
Finally, the Colonel became convinced that his
promisee to pay would not answer, and he had ap
parently made up hie mind to take his natant* OS
Saturday. Ile bade an affectionate farewell to tie
keepers of Moyamenslng, end then took Me &pu
ffin as betted agentleman.,
Mr. John Porter, one' of the tipstaves of the
Quarter Sessions, was entrusted with the convey
ance of the prisoner. Cross requested a carriage
to be brought for him, In order that his wife might
accommicy him, as it would be the last opportu
nity afforded him before be was sent up to Cherry
Hill. The officer consented to this arrangement.
The carriage was procured. but the Colonel alone,
with the officer, got into it, no wife making her
appearance. On the way up, the Colonel's mind
still running on his sojourn in the penitentiary, ha
asked the officer to accompany him to his former
hotel. so that he might arrange his trunk. This
was in direct violation of the rules of the court,
and Mr. Porter at first refused, but afterwards
consented. and the carriage was driven to Miller's
Hotel, Washington and Moyamensing avenues.
.lies the two stopped. Cress asked the officer to
take a drink, which iio refused to do.
Cross then ght a cigar, and calmly puffed away
sit it, making himself very much at home. Next
be asked the officer to accompany him up stairs to
the third-story room, where his trunk was depo
sited. While in this room be complained of the
light, and repeated Mr. Porter to throw open the
shutters, and as he stepped to the window to do
so, the Colonel sprang out of the door-way, closed
the door and locked it, thus imprisoning the off,
car. Mr. Porter then commenced a 'Vigorous kick
ing at the panels of the door, hut by the time be
bad rucceeded in making a bole large onevisit to
allow his egress, the Colonel was down stairs and
orer the fence of the rear yard. Two chairs
placed against the fence assisted the fugitive in his
flight. As he Is a rather corpulent individual, be
would have found considerable difficulty in scaling
the boards but for the aid afforded by the chairs.
Mr. Porter got down stairs in time to ascertain
that his prisoner had just crossed the fence, bra
nobody in the house seems to have made any effort
to stop him. The officer ran to the front and wade
known his grievances to Constable Gillingham, who
then stated that he had just seen a inan.running,
with no hat on, and that he had jumped into a milk
wagon and had been driven off, at the same time
giving the direction. lioth the constable and Mr.
Porter started in pursuit, but the wagon. which
was going at a furious rate,
had too much the start
of them, and they had fo gite npthe chase, and'
Mr. Porter returned to court.
. _ .
The facts were brought to the notice of Judge
Allisev, and be instituted an investigation into the
circumstances.
Mr. Porter testified to the escape as beieg ef
fected in the manner above described.
At the conclusion of Mr. Porter's story, Judge
Allison said he had some difficulty in regard to the
course which he. ought to pursue in the matter
Ile had no doubifhis was a misfortune on the past
of Mr. Porter. lie could not believe that Mr. P.
had been engaged in the plot for the escape of the
prisoner. Nothing in Mr. Porter's conduct as en
officer would for a moment warrant the suspicion
that he had been guilty of anything but negligence.
But he had departed from the strict line of his
duty in taking the prisoner any place but to the
court. When an officer departs from the line of
his duty, and the prisoner escapes, he .must bear
the responsibility. The revised code makes it a
very serious
.offence for an officer even by negli
gence to allow a prisoner to escape, and the judge
felt called upon to say that for the present Mr.
Porter must confidet himself suspended es an o
car of the court. What further action might be
taken in the matter would be for future considera
tion. The law made thisan indictable offence, but
for the present be would not hold him to ball; but
it waavery probable the court would feel cesspelliki
to proceed by indictment against him.
Very Much would, he said, depend upon his ex
ertions in procuring the rearrest of Cross, and he
should take early steps to secure that result.
Mr. Porter replied that the had already done as
much as be could, not, however, with any desire to
retain his situation, but cut of regard to his duty
as an officer.
Jadgo Allison said that was very ateditable to
hint.
The judge now directed a subpcen3 to isms to
bring in all persons about Miller's Hotel,- in order
to ascertain if any of them could give an alphas
tion of this affair.
Upon the return of the subpcens with the par
ties, they were examined under oath.
Constable Gillingham stated in court that he saw
a man running, and this man, he understood sinoe,
was Colonel Cross. He bad no bat, and he sprang
into a milk wagon, and was driven down town at a
rapid rate.
Mr. G. ran after the wagon when be understood
that a prisoner escaped, but he tenni himself ast
able to overtake it.
Charles Boyd testified that to was sitting oppo
site Miller's tavern, and heard somebody crying
" Open the door," and then heard somebody kick•
ing at the door; when this noise was going on, Mr.
Boyd ran around the oorner to see what was the
matter, and then ho met Col. Cross running. Mr.
B. inquired of him what was tho matter, end he
replied that a thief wne running across the spare
and he was after him
The witness was not exactly satisfied with this
statement, and ho told the Colonel that he believed
that he was the thief; bat he had no so*

that e
he bad no

house. The witness had received notice to be in

ad the time the Colonel visited his house.
Mr. Miller produced In court the Colonel's hat,
which had been dropped on the stairway.
. A daughter of Mr. Miller was examined, but
she could give no information other than that the
chairs bad been placed at the fence by the ear•
vents, who were washing, and Cron knocked the
tub from off the chair, and then used it to assist
him in his escape.
The landlord of tho house was called, but he
knew nothing of the matter. lle did, however, in
