i himself and on his country. Every elector should regard that as the one eolemn public act of the jear, Htnl execute It with a lolty patriot lani like Brutus he was willing to sacrifice hig son for the good of Home. (AppUme.) The election that is apnroaclnna" Is one ot transceu d ant importance; It in vol voa not tlio success ol a party, but the preservation of the rotintrv. (Apjlaue.) Jn one a-pi-ct the Usue mny decide whether we are to have a permanent peace, or an immediate civil war. Therefore It la, laaios and Rentlenien, I ask on to lend in? your ears while I speak on these momentous question. What lathe question fur our decision? Un liesitodnply I aimwer, the question before the people of l'cnnvlvanln $ not nero suilraiic. The men that are striving to create prejudice amonp our lellow-citizfna, endeavoring to divert their minds from their duty to the country, aro atimulutiiii? prejudice upon a question of that kind. Mow, I can In the course of three min utes convince every enndid mind that that is not. the question before the people of I'eun-nvlvnr.ia. By the first section of the tl.ird article of the Constitution of Pennsylvania, in definlnir elec tors, it uses those words, "livery white trceiuan of the ace of t flcut.y-one years." Therefore, before the necrro can be allowed to vote in Penu svlvanla, the Constitution ot the State must bo amended by erasme the word '"white." By thr tenth a.licle of tue Constitution of Pennsylvania, amendments to the Constitution are to pass two successive Legislatures of the State, an 1 then to be voted on bv the people. No amend ment to the Constitution of Pennsvlvania can be voted on by the people more frequently than oucein five years. In the month of August 6l.t he. people ol Pennsylvania voted on the amend incut irivinr the soldiers in the held the risht to vote (cheers); therefore by no possible way, if it bad passed botfi Houses o'f the Leiislntuce for two successive sessions, it has pajsed neither one under no possibility could the question of in'j;ro sutlraLre come before the peonle of Penn svlvania until five ycurs from August, '64, which will be August. '!!. (Applause.) Now, what is the question before the people? The Pennsylvania Convention of the Democratic pnrty, that met on the 4th day of March, 180(5, at Harrisbure, resolved "thai the people of the seoeded Mates have a rielit to be lorthwith represented in the Comrresa of the United States." The Union party say that they outrht not to be represented in theContrress of the United States until they shall have Riven certain oruarautees (applause); not as indemnity for the past, but as security lor the future (applause); and those guarantees have been shaped into certain amendments to the Constitution of the United States. It will be perceived that this is a question of vital imparlance 10 the Union itself, and it therefore, at the very outlet of the argument, becomes a matter of prave import un e to know who now nie, and who have been during the recent past, the friends of the Ameri can Lnion. I do uot ques'.ion but what there may be, and are, honorable and patriotic citizens who airreed to the resolution that have been adopted by the Democratic party. The leaden ol that party are those that will carry out the resolutions ot their Convention. Now, while there may be, and are, in the rank and file of the Democratic party honest and patriotic men, all through, from the beirinninc to the end of the war, the leaders of the partj have been false, and tra'tors. (Cheers.) Let me prove it to your satisfaction. It was the leaders of the Democratic party that split that irrand old organization that Mr. Lin coln mieht be elected President, and then seized on his election to split the Union in twain. James Uuchanttn, the President elected in 1850, was sustained by the Dftno cratic party. He declared that the Constitution of the United States save no power to prevent a State from seceding from the Union. These are the men who, in the city of Philadelphia, at Na tional Hall, on the 11th day of January, 161, when the tires ot Rebellion were lighting up the whole South, declared, not impulsively, not on the moment but read their resolutions, and mark the words: "It is our delibirate judgment that, if the Southern States were compelled to secede, Pennsylvania would determine whether she would not also secede." Was not this a bold, audacious admi-sion of the doctrine of secession? These are the men who, on the 221 of Feb ruary, 18(51, four days after Jelf. Davis had been inaugurated as Provisional President of the Southern Confederacy, declared m State Con vention that they would not aid tho Republicans in power, which meant the incoming ad niiuis tration of Mr. Lincoln, to make war on tliiir brothers of the South; but would do all they possibly could to prevent them. These are the men who, on the 12lh of April, 18G1, when the Kebel cannon were thundering at the walls of Sumter, who declared in the Legislature of the State that thy would not arm Pennsylvania to prepare her fur me conuicr. (Applause). These are the men who sustained Franklin Pierce, who said the war snould be north of Mason and Dixon's line. These are the men who, during the gloomy times in 18(52, declared, ave, the-;e lovers of Union declared, thnt New England should be left out inthecoH. They don't say a word amiinst treason in the South; not a word against the bloody Rebels that wore destroying the hope of mankind; not a syllable against them; but New Knglnnd, that sprung to arms at once at the first alarm (applause); who stood by tho Union Ironr the first, and watered the streets ot Baltimore with blood on tho l'Jib. of April, 1HC1, they declared that she should be left out iD the cold. 'i'bey were men who refused to do what thsy could to sustain the Government. They met in Philadelphia up jn the 1st day of June, 18UJ, to sympathize with that audacious traitor, Val landipham, of Ohio. I read a letter not long aeo, the ending of which was in Ihese words: "Let us strike at the cause declare lor peace and against the war." These are the men who, at the Chicaeo Con vention in 1801, suit! it was their deliberate judg ment that hostilities should cease, because tho war was a failure. These are the men who, from beginniug to end, did all they could to daupeu the energy of our soldiers, that rejoiced in our deteats, and would gladly have given tho victory to the Rebels. These are the men who onnosed tho draft. opposed conscription, opposed the enlistment of negroes; anu, in iaci, ooposeu ever iiiiug una was for the good ot the country. I can have no enmity with tho mass of my fellow-citizens who muv differ Irani me. but I confess it, that while I am full of the milk ot human kindness, tnat in my ucart ot nearis i detest and hate the men that were the enemies of the country in '04. (Applause.) BTalk of bringing them back to oower! Let tne Union party have the success they deserve for their devotion to the country. The DeniO' cratic party, if they were to live "for fifty years, will never be clothed with any power by the people of Pennsylvania. (Applause.) If wo allow them to live in our midst, protected in person and property, they may thank t heir good lortuue and the magnauimlty of the people. Now, who are the friends of the Union? They are the nien who, at the very first moment, struck hands together upon the altar of their country, sacrificed personal protit, political umliition. everv thing, ana actei mined and re solved, so help them God, that, in victory or aetcat, whether tue war whs rauiug aioug tue chores of the Southern gulf, or in the heart ot Pennsylvania, living or dying, they would stand oy the Union of the States. (Tremendous ap pliuise.) We did stand bv it from the first to the last. (Applause.) No sucritice was too great. Do you remember the days of '03? Po you remember tue time the Rebels invaded our Htatei,? What did those Democratic leaders do? They published in tt newspaper ihat was under their control the names and residences of the members of the Union T.iiirni no that, if the Rebels came to Philadelphia, they could murder them. Aud we are to forget this! A man who would forgive tue enemy of his country wou'd foieet the soldier who foimht fnra Unnluian.) No, we are the friends ot the Union; we long loriuousy wui-u mi-re buuu db reconciliation with our brothers ot the houth. We hope and rmv for a pertect Union, bat we desir t the fouudatious of our reconstructed republic laid so deep and strong that neither the storms uorUQ panics oi centuries can buuke them Appiause.) The leaders of the Democratic party say "that the people of the seceding States have a couMi tutiona) right to be leprosented In the Con?res of the United States." If the? have a constitu tional right, how comes it that they arc de prived ot this right? How comes It that rleht is questioned? I presume the Democratic- party has lorrotten it, but we have not forgotten it. It i bcoauBO these States by solemn enactments d ssolved all connection with the American Union, and formed themselves into a separate Contedcracy. Their Representatives and Sena tors deserted their seats in the C.)iigre--9 of tne United States. The otdiuanees of their Legis latures dei led our sovereignty. They claimed our territory; seized our (bits, onr custom houses, and our arsenals; plun dered and I bore away our ships upon tho high seas; starving our prisoners; setting tire to our Northern cities, and iufeoting them with dis case; begging upon their bended knees the aid of Knglaudto divide our nationality; they ma -shalicd armies, and lor tour years carried on a plgnntlc, tlend-like.and cruel war.in which thirty five hundred millions of dollars was expended; in which a million of our soldiers were wounded; which bronsrht the desolation of death to tho homes of three hundred thousand orphans and widow", and it only ended when their power was' crushed, their armies surrendered, and their power annihilated. (Applause.) No this Is to a plain man trcaon, high treason, which by all the nations of the world, ancient or modern, civilized or uncivilized, has been punished by the severest penal lies. Kngland, up to the time of George III, pun ished a traitor by draining him to the scail'old and hanging him" by the neck, cultinahlnidowu, faking out his entrails aud burning them before his face, cuttins his body into four quarters, and hangiiigitup in the market-place. T his was treason. We must not alone punish the culprit, but we must make that crime exe crable and infamous. We are to forget ail and forgive thoe men ! These men are not to be punished; they are to be elected back to the seats they lit ! Ay ! even before the smoke has ri-cn lrom the battle-tield. live huudred thousand of our soldiers have uot recovered fr.nu the wounds they received. I am afraid I shall get so eiicrcelic on I lus subject that I won't be able to get on, but 1 will try to keep myself down. Now 1 say, that before we allow them to come back into the Government of the Unite! States, it is the duty of the President I will say no more of Ibat (luushtcr) it is the duty of the Congress of the "United States (vociferoin cheering) it is our dutv, to examine into tue record ot these States since the fall of the Re bellion; to examine the record; not to be mi9led by any protestations ot repentance. Every pic sumption is against them; they have betrayed the country; tnereforc I say, scrutinize their acts, examine into their record, aud make such guaiautees as are not in violation of justice or Christianity, which will guarantee to ihe re pubiic of the United States security and peace in the future. (Aoplause.) Now, the President says they have amended the. ordinance of ueces ion; let us lojk at that. Two l.tatc have not iinuulled it. 'South Caro lina has. repealed it; 'o also has ihe Suite of Georgia. You recollect one legislature has a light to rcake a law, and another has the riaht to repeal it a third legislature has the right to repeal the repeal. South Carolina and Georgia can repeal this oidinauce, and it would stand as before. There has not been one of these ordinances submitted to the people. Here, in a country like tnis, we have a right to demand that things like this should be submitted to the people. All that is necessary is to let the people examine aud ap prove it. Here, in Pennsylvania, no amend nienteaube made to the Constitution unless it is voted on by the peoole. Th speaker stopped here for some time to look at his notes, and as the audietice were continu ally applauding, he thought they were impa tient, nndjsaio: I assure jou, niv fellow citizens, it is not because I have forgotten anything in my notes, but because I am getting hoarse. They say they have accepted the amendment abolishing slavery. Tbree-iotirths of the States who elected Lincoln are in favor of amending the Constitution as to slavery. Some of the South'jm States have adopted the Constitutional amendment, but let us look iuto the record ot those States, and see how they have agreed to this amendment. I will call your attention to South Carolina. South Carolina agreed to the amendment to the Constitution as to slavery in these words: "The slaves of South Carolina have been emancipated by the action ot the United States authorities." That is the way she has agreed to it not because it was right; not because there was a horror for slavery; not 0 cmife it was in violation of every rule ot Chris tiuiiitv: but because the slaws of South Carolina have betn emancipated bu Iinaction of Vie United Htatf8 authorities. It they had snhicient power they would repu diate the amendments to the Constitution. Sjme people say the South have repudiated the RcDel debt. How have they repudiated it? Has u been done? North Carolina, October 12, 18(55, refused to repudiate it. October 17, they received a note from the President ot the united btutes, aud they afterwards concluded, for political pur roses, to acquiesce in it. North Carolina finally 1 .1.- 1 .. ! - repuoiaiea tue ueui iy juajumj ui iwnvc, Mississippi refused entirety to repudiate tu Rebel debt. They have passed a law there now appropriating twenty p- cent, ot all revenues of the Mate ior tue purpose oi supporting tue widow s and orphans of the Rebel t-olliery. They want to be represented in Coucress and in the Senate. Who has Georgia elected Senators? Herschel V. Johnson and Alexander 11. Ste phens. Stephens was the Vice-President of the s-outhern Comederacy, and Johnson was a member of the Senate. Now. of all the traitors, with the exception of JohnC. lireckiurulge, the meatiest and the worst is Alexander 11. Ste phens. (Applause.) No one will question his ability; no one prior to tho war questioned his integrity. He gave a most niaeuiocrnt oration in favor of the Union that ever fell from humnu lips, but a short tune afterwards turned against his oath, turned against his country, and plunged his foot in a high place in tie Soutneru Confederacy, and thi n pioclaimed that that troverumeut was the greatest government that ever live! in ti le of time. Mr. Ilerschel Johnson and Mr. Alexander II. Stevens are both elected L'mted States Senators lrom Geornia, aud declare, since the Rebellion closed, ";l.ey still adhere to the r doctrine that a State has the right to secede. "They believe in the sacred principle set iorth in the Declaration of Independence, that every people have the right ot sell-government, and the rnnit to change aud alter their lioveruui jut as they may see proper. "They expressed their purpose of living sepa rately from the North; this was all. They didn't Invade the North. It was not their purposo to wage war aeainst the Northern States, but to live peaceably by them as neighbors nnd friends. They said they had the riaht to ? eecdo from the Government, and they attempted to exercise that right; that's all! Laughter.) For this attempt they have been conquered and subtued. "There was a Paradiso lost and a Paradise re pained, and there will be a paradise regained in this country. The blood lhat has been spilt is loo precious. 1 should not believe in U.id it I did not believe that a special providence would yet come aud uive victory to, and securu the triumph of, civil liberty in this country. I tell you old Virginia is not at home; she will come back some of these days. Let them mnko the most of it, and if 1 am a traitor why dou't they try audhanu me? 1 have lost all my lands mid pioperty. I would clean boots in your streets sooner than bow to usurpation. II we had tri umphed, 1 should have lavorad stripping them (the North) naked." Suppose wo Lad been defeated, what terms would they have offered us? Why, when the little town of Chambersburg, Pennsylvania, and the little town ot Frederick, Marvlaud, were invaded by these Southern Rebels, bofore tbey would release them they demanded a rau Mm of hundreds of thousands of dollars. And tho Richmond Enquirer, in 1862, then the mouthpiece of tha President Of the Southern Confederacy, said that the terms of pacitioation should be the yielding of everything ou the part of the North, and nothing ou the part of the South. ' "I would have stripped them naked. Paidou! they might have applied for pardon, but could have seen them dd before I would bare granted it: For myself, the boot is on tho other leg." "Again," says tho National Tnlel'irjmcxr "may not the majority ol the Senators and Represen tatives! duly elected by the people, and who have their certificates of election from the Gov ernors ot the respective States, and who are now denied their seats in tine Congress of the United States, organize and proceed to business as the Congress of the United States?" Thia would be a boldjincasurc. but Andrew Johnson is a bold man. This year there was a celebration of the "Richmond blues," and among other toasts that were prdposed were the following! "Virginia, right or wrong." 'General Robert K. Lee, the soldier, the p .tnot, the citizen, the Christian." "Stonewall Jackson, the nuconquered genikv man and Christian hero, whom even his ene mies revered." "The Lobt Cause," which was drunk standing and in silence. And now, ladles and eentlcmen, I come to declare the opinion of an American General, the gallant hero of the battle of Nashville; and what does General George H. Thomas say? In answer to the question; Do you know anything lrom information or report about secret organi zations in the South, said to be hostile to tho Government? he replied, "I have received several communications to that cll'ectl "The persons who eave me this intorniatiou have desired that their names shoal 1 uot oo mentioned. Steps have been taken to ascertain the truth ol the matter. The persons that com municated with me are worthy and truthful, nnd I believe their statements" are correct in the main, but how far this disaffection extends I cannot say. "I do not npprehend any real danecr at pre sent, because the military authority and power of the Government is not onlyiearsd in these Slates, but I think it is ample to put down any disturbance that may arise." Mr. Doivjherty continued his review of the situation Smith,' and concluded as follows: Ou resuming their seals, our peers in power and masters In mtriuue, aided by Northern allies, they will repeal the test oath, abolish the pensions to the widows and orphans of the war, repudiate the national deht, and take from the archives and erase from tho records every ves tige of their inlamy. They will tear down the pictures and tumble over the marble statues of the heroes whose bright swords led our legions to victory. They will reaffirm in State resolves and in national conventions nnd enroll in las the doctrine of secession. BreckiiuidL'o inav acain pieside in the Senate, and Cobb und Thompson rule in the Cabinet. Lee may command the army he betrayed, and Seintnes walir the quarter-deck under the ling that he roved the seas lo destioy. Sooner or later the fires of civil war will be attain ignited, and the days of hiMiiiin prog' ess he no more. Alter all the sacnliccs of this generation, shall this be onr doom? .lust as the world is begiu niu" to recognize the stability and blessings ol repiililieuintin; .just as the millions of Ol Iff.

If we fail In the approaching elections, and our Northern opponents gam sufficient to form with the (south a majority, the traitors who have access to the President will goad him ou to make good the threat to recognize the Representatives and Seiators of the Southern Slate?, with their Northern allies, as the Con gress of the United Sla'cs. Thio will be ihe Biernal of a war, not alone m the capital, but in every Northern city, hou.-e with house and friend with fliend. ending with anarchy and massacre. Oh 1 then, my countrymen, fliug away all meaner thoughts, and rise to the altitude of the nation's peril.

A larae audience gathered iu front ot Independence Hall last evening, tor the purpose of listening to the Hon. Kdaar Co war. Senator irom Pennsylvania. He was introduced by John W. Stokes. Senator Cowan spolte as -follows: In what other city than Philadelphia could a people more appropriately meet to restore a broken Union? What Is the meaning of the phrase, "All men were created tree and equal ?" It means just what it said. Not that all men were white, or all men black, or all men yellow. It merely meant to assert lhat all men were eutiiled to fair play in a court of justice. Pennsylvania was a Iree State in 177(5, immediately alter the Declaration of Independence. She is a tree State now; w hen the rights which she uow enjoys are ta!eu away, she then ceases to be a free State. I purpose to examine the proposed amendments put forth by the present radical party of the country. What is the first amendment? If was ngreod in the Senate that I all the States should stand upon an equal toot ing. That is so now. As to the House of Rep- resentatives it was acreed that the number of the people should be tho basis of representation. Those were the terms upou wa.ch they were based. The first proposed amendment is not very ma terial at this time. The second says that if you dou't allow the negroes to vote you shall not count them in making up the ratio t repre sentation. Well, we have a hundred thoii Band negroes iu Pennsylvania and a Congress man base. I upon their representation. If they are not counted, Pennsylvania loses that Con gressman south Carolina would lose half her representation if such should be the case, and so with the other Southern Slates in propor tion. What do they mean when they say these men shall not be counted ? They mean thai tuey shall vote. I tell you, my friends, that no poison outside of Pennsylvania has a riht to tell us or to dictate to us who we shall let vote or who we shall not let vote. It is noue of tuir bufincss. We say. as the President says, that the State should have the right to let whoever she pleases vote. Massachusolts, or any other Slate, may let whoever they please vote; but 1 think the State ot .Pennsylvania should have the rlfht to say who Ehad have power within Ihe borders ot the State. You are told that u white man iu South Carolina has twice as much power as a white man in this State. The fact haa been, down there the white man voted mu the negroes did uot. What accounts tor the power wielded 1 I know that the majority in Congress contend that they do not want to compel the people to accept negro suffrage, but it' the amendment proposed does not imply this very thuij, I should like to know what it means. If they don't want to loico nctrro suffrage upon us, then they want to take away the power we have. The next ainenduiciit savs to tho Southern people, that none of their lead 'ng men should ever hold oflice, as a punl'hment for having en tered the Rebellion. That provision is a viola tion of the vry Constitution itself. The Con stitution Bays that no bill of attainder or ex post lacto law fchall be passed. Both bills of attain der, from time immemorial, and ex post lucto laws, liavo been nothing butenglucs oi tyranny. Tho Britian Parliament passed bills ol a'.iain. der, but uone half o bad as this. Our fathers put these things in the Constitution, aud upon them rest our liberties to-day. There is not a man in the country who is not as much inte rested iu the preservation of tbat intact as they are in the lives of their wivea aud children. They tell you that it is to punish rod-hauded traitors. Thin is well enough to tell to inilain matorv people. At the outset of this Rebellion we did uot treat these people this war. We Pnnsjdeied Ihem as victims ol seditious leidor. Tou can't try Jeff. Davin until a true bill is found against him. That is for your security, not his. These men should be triod according to law. Whenever you hear these blatant fellows golnir around talking about punishing Rebels, just ask them how many Rebels ihcy have pi.t In the way of being punished. It being a fundamental principle of the Constitution that no man should be punished unless by due proces ot law. that no bill of attainder or ox post facto law shall be passed, tt became necessary for these men to go round this or to dodge it. To the close of this amendment they have attached both a bill of attainder and an ex post fact'i law. There was another amendment arter this, and a most extraordinary one. It Is to the effect thnt the validity f the national debt shall never be questioned. Who ever th ucht of question ing it but the pcisons who framed the amend ment ? The nmional safety is wrapped up in the validity ol the national debt. It Is' astonishing to me that the men who fought open a hundred battle-fields should be contented with the broken, sham Union which we have now. Restore the Union, make it as It w as before, and tho bonds of the country will be worth to the bondholder twenty per cent, more than i hey are now. When the Rebellion was put down to secure obedience to the Constitution, why ehould we not be satisfied now that we have that obedience ? The trouble Is that tho party in power tools that It is in the inluorit.y, aud it wants to secure help betore the powir is taken from them. The radi cal programme is to take the teu Southern States and reconstruct them. The nicotine adjourned with rheers for Presi dent Johnson, Senator Cowan, Hitster Clymer, and the Union. At the conclusion of the meeting the nieinb -rs of ihe Keystone Club, who were present during a itonion of the speech, proceeded in a body to the Continental, and serenaded Senator Cowan. Ri publicax Meeting. A large Republi can meeting was held last ever tug at Front nnd Girard avenue. Colonel William 13. maun pre sided, assisted by tne following Vice-Presidents rM. H.

Colonel Mann, on taking the chair, addrcsed the meeting ut some length upou the issues of the day, and urged that Congrcfs was the ouly power to deal with the question of admitting the Rcprcsei tutives from the Southern Slates. The Hon. Mr. McPherson, ot Washington, fol lowed, alter which a series of resolutions were offered, among which were the following: ltesulved. That the Union Republicans of the Third Coneressioual District, in mass conven tion assembled, express their warm approval of the patiiotic record and distinguished ability of their well-tried Representative, Hoi. Leonard Myers, and their confident belief that a grateful constituency will reelect him to the seat in Congress he now so worthily holds. He has failhlully cuarded the bu-iness interests of the city and State; he has been the untiring advo cate ot protection lor the rights of labor; he has given ceaseless atteutiou to the wants of the s.ddiers und sailors. Above all. he has been true to the sacred cause of the Union, tor the preser vation of wh'ch they lought aud bled. liesolvrd, That to Congress, and not to tne President, belongs the question of representa tion from the States lately In rebellion.

Athletic and Atlantic Ball Match No Game Played. -Tne proposed game be tween those two well-k-jown rival clubs ended in disappointment yesterday. The assemblage of spectators was so very great as to encroach on tlie field, and interfere witu ihe players. An attempt was made to play one inning. The Athletics went to the bat and made a score of two. The Atlantic's then took the bat, but tho crowd continuinir to press upon the players, the umpire interfered, and several efforts were made to clear the Held. It was ineffectual, how ever, and so the Captains agreed io "call the game." leaving it a "draw." When game was "called" the Arlautics had two men on the. bases and one rnan out. Tho concourse of spectators was far greater than on any similar occasion, a careful estimate, based upon an actual count of one section ol the Held, showing that there could not have been less than thirty thousand persons present, inside aud outside of the enclosure. Columbia avenue was entirely blocked up with vehicles of all descriptions, and so were all the surrounding streets nd lanes. In extricating them from the throntr several wore wrecked. There was also considerable damage done to the fences. The stands were lilted with ladies, and their gay dresses, with the dense lines of spectators and tho ranks of carriages, irave the scone very much the appearance of Ascot or Knsoni on the great race days. vVe noticed, wi'h regret, that a spirit of gambling prevailed to a coiisidi-ral.de exiem among the visitors, and lhat larae sums were staked on tho result of the game. This should be discouraged, or base-hall grounds will soon fall into as much disrepute as race-courses. Last uit'ht, at a meeting of the Atlantic and Athlelicnine9.it was decided not to play their match In this city. It will accordingly be played next Monday In Brooklyn. The return match will then be at Suffolk Park. j This afternoon tho Atlantic's will play the Keystones. To accof imodato the people who desire to see the eront champion club's playing, the Keystones secu i d th Olympic's ground, at Tweuty-urt.il ami Jeffersou. Ampla police arranuements haVe been perfected. $100,000 were bt aked Iu beti on the issue of the ereat Hunch yesierdaTi lis failure disappointed the sporting gentry M.nsia.'rably. i Mysterious OccuriIf.nch. About two o'clock yesterday morn i in? , two men appeared on one of the coal wharves in the extreme southern part of the city, and a'ter terrifying the watchman by a display of pitdols, got into one of the small boats fastened to the wharf, and vowed off with it. When a short distance horn the shore, the watchman heard the cry of murder, nnd soon alter one ot the men swam back. He said that he had a tight with the other man, and that both had fallen overboard. In support of his assertion about a fisht, he showed a severe cut 1n the back of the neck, hieb had bled proiusely. The b mt was after wards found, with considerable blood In it. The man who Bwam a-hore was arrested yesterday, ami committed bv Alderman Titteriuary for a further hearing. lie crave the name of Robert Lee, nnd says he belongs to Prince Edward Island. The other man id mlsbiii!'. Whether he was drowned, or swam to another wharf is uot known. SFECIAL NOTICES. irrr office of the lkhigh coal AN1 KA.VIGATIPM COMPANY. I'liit.ADi.l.l-niA.
