Thb Mbrcantilb Library. The Direotors tt the Mercantile Library Company met oo Friday evening, tor tbe purpose of reorganizing, In ooLtorraity with tbe lately amended coarter. Hereafter the Board is to consist of eighteen members, to be arrnnged m three classes, one r.iiisa to be elected each veor. Tne followtost w essons drew the lot tor the tirst class, and their term ot office will expire at the next election in February, viz.: Mesa re. J. C. (Jrubb, E. K. Stevenson, J. 8. VVeimer, S. E. Harlan, Edward Tavlor, and C. M. Taylor. Messrs. John Lnrdrer, O. H.' Wilson. VV. A. R ilin. J. J. Barnwell, A. 3. Letcnworth, and John II. Watt constitute tbe second class, and will serve till February, 1870. Messrs. A. I. Fish, W. D. Gem mill, Oliver Evans, Iiichtrd Wood. T. Morris Perot, and Edward Bains form the third class, and will retain office until February, 1871. An election for officers was held, which resulted as follows, viz.: T. Morris Perof, President.; O. II. Wilson, Vice-Prebldent; John Larduer, Record ing Secretary ; A. I. Fish, Corresponding Secre tary; and A. 8. Letch worth, Treasurer. This organization of the Board in conformity with the demands of the altered circumstances ot the Institution seems to be universally acqui esced in, and Is to be taken as a pledjro of the tarly accompVibhmeit of the great enterprise now In hand. The work upon the new building la rapidly solnir. forward, and with proper co operation of the members and friends ot the institution the library will soon bo transferred to more convenient and sptcious apartments thsn have ever been provided for any mercan tile library In tho country. It is quite in keep ing with tbe reputation that Philadelphia has had for intelligence and libernltty. that its most extensively ueed liorury should bo thus gene rously provided lor. Probablb Suicide. About two o'olock this Booming a man named John Hock, who keeps a public house at No. 440 St John 6treet, had an altercation with bis wile, Fruncisca Hock. He attacked her in a savaere manner and put her out of the house, closing the door on her. Findinsr she could not pain admittance, she proceeded to the police station and enlisted the services of Sergeant Murray and two other officers. They went to the house and demanded admittance, which was refused them. As they were turning from the house. Hock opened the second story window, with adouble-btrrel shot irun in his band. He discharged one load, which look effect In his wife's body and neck In twenty five or thirty different places. Her wounds, however, are not dangerous. The officers effected an entrance, when Hock applied the muzzle of the gun to his head and fired the rematciuR fcarrel, carrying away the entire left side of his face. He was removed to the Hospital, aad Is not expected to recover. Whisky was tbe cause, Hock having eaten but little for the last eight dajs, and dnuklng continually. Thb Snow. TLIb morning the weather was aeoidedly wintry. The clouds lowered and the winds blew. Up to 11 o'clock the sun made futile efforts to penetrate the gloomy canopy which hung overhead. People shivered beneath overcoats, and blue noses were plenty. Once or twice the snowy flakes descended, making little vrchlns think of sleds and Christmas. It was the first snow ot the season, and if the old beldame's prophecy have aught of truth, as it came down on the 17th ot the month, we will bave seventeen snows during the wiuter.

COURT OF QUARTER SESSIONS. Allison, P. J". A bearing was bad this morning In the case ot Tbe Commonwealth ve. Police Lieutenant Theodore Hacker and Officers Wilson aud Orant, who were charged with amault and bnttery upon Umanuel Hooper, In violently ejecting blm from the election poll ot the Tenth precinct ot the Nlueteenth ward, on Tuenday last. It appears that In May last the old Tenth division of ibis ward was divided Into two, tbe new one called tbe Fourteenth; and John C. Addis, tbe judge of the o'd Tenth, who after the subdivision resided In the Fourteenth, appointed Kmsnuel Ho iper Judge ot this division. On election day Hooper went to rue poll to preside, under autborlty af mis appointment, but was met by Addis, wbo claimed that Hooper's ap polrtment was Invalid, and therefore bn. Addis, would bave to act as Judge. He directed Hooper to quit tbe room, which he r fused to do; these policemen were then callea in and required to arrest blm for unlawful lnterfe'erce with the election oillcrs, and they took blm from tbe place. These facts being testified to by Ihe witnesses, the qnestlnn arose, wnetber tbs ap pointment of Hooper was va Id, It being made by Addis, a nbn-restdentof tbe division, and if It was not, whether these officers were not justified In arresting fclm for refusing to give place to th man who was prima facie entitled to it, he having formerly been tbe judge of tne precinct, Tne Judge conclnded to require tbe defendants to en:er into recognisance In t-'MH to apnear al Court, where the subject should receive a full Investigation. "too late:' Trie Irojpo(l Democratic Ctinngo of linne. The Washington correspondent of tbe New York Tribune of this morning contains the fol lowing: The excitement among the politicians here In regard to tbe proposed change of front of tbe Democracy has reached lu height, and is already passing away. It eame unexpectedly, It has been fully considered, aud the majority dismiss it wttb a groan, saylug, "It Is too late," "it is too late!" To-night the leading spirits of the party say It was a blander not easily healed; but the ouly ouurae left thoio la to reform their lines and make the best show possible under tbe circumstances. The posi tion assumed by tbe World And tlie Intelligencer has had its effect. It has compelled the malcontents to throw oQ their m units and make known their grlevannes. President Johnson la known to havo lavnred the mund taken by the World, ana direct ea his organ, the Intelligencer, to follow suit. His frteudi could not let the opportunity pass, but too'x every advantage ottered to express their dislike of Heyinour and Blair, and to urge the claims of their epeeial favorite. In itot tue Johnson min became so enthuslastlo over tne World's Firopoi-al tbat to be consistent retreat will be mposslble with them. Now that their lost hope Is gone tbey will give up tbe oontest, anl make no secret of their feelings. Haucouk Is Indiffer ent, and says tbat he prophesied defeat to his party weeks ego. Ilia amblttou, however, wonld make htm take Seymour's plaoe If It were oliered to blm, but he would take no posi tion subordinate to Cliase or Johnson. Bo far as; the name of Chief Justine Onnse has been connected with tbis movement, It has been used without his knowledge and agalust bis desires. He remarked to a friend to-day, In alluding to the ellot t to substitute his name for tbat of Mr. Seymour on the Democratic ticket: "1 am only a Judge, trying to attend to my buslnens. I do not think It proper for me to take any part In politics, and I have no desire to do so. I have not been aotlvely seek ing tbe Presidency, and shall never seek It. I am satisfied with my present poal tlon, and shall be glad to be allowed to attend to it." In reply to a dtreot question he said that be had never sought to conceal tbe fact that If he had been unanimously nomi nated la the New York Convention, with a satisfactory platform, he would have aooepted tbe trust. There can be no doubt, however, tbat he looks with displeasure upon all reports which In any way connect his name with this ebange-oi front movement. He has never thought of It as aUeollng himself, nor Is there any doubt tbat he, In common with many thinking men here, looks upon the whole movement as a tempest without wind or water a movement having neither base nor capstone a movement wlthont mate rial or workmen. It la generally believed here among those best Informed that if tbe nomina tion should now be tendered to Mr. Chase by tbe Democratic National Committee, with all tbe enthusiasm and promises which tne united Democracy oould command, be would reply, In tbe language of Mr. Seymour, "Uentlemeu, I thank you, but your candidate I cannot be." r. The persons composing ;i be "Cabal" which is said to bave assembled at the house of the Chief Justice last night, "with a view of political In trigue," were fivo la number (exaludlug the ladles of tbe parly), viz.: the Secretary of War, the British Minister, the Austrian Minister, tbe Turkish Minister, and one other. Invitations to the "parly" were issued before the elections took place. So tbe reports that Mr. Chase was "closeted, last night with a parly of political Intriguer" bad their origin In tbat circum stance. Instead of plotting the destruction of Utant and tbe Hepublicttu party, the Chief Justice was probably talking poor Frenob to lutiles who could not understand good English. Tbe friends of the obangn-ol'-frout movement claim to have received despatches from the prominent Democrats of the West approving tbecontseof the HoWi, aud urging Immediate action, The other side deny this and say that thty nave despatches from the same aouroe direct'y to tbe contrary. It Is well known that tf.e fnrmtr telegraphed all over the South yes terday, appealing to the Southern newspapers to take ground with the li'oWcf. Tbe new move rnent Is looked upon bn dead, however, and tbe field Is left clear for the Itepublicau standard bearers.

Hay A Mason, Phil lips & McDowell, Falrborg, 111.: My opinion la tbat the Democrats acted very silly in raising a pole of such character as to make their party odious, and that tbe Republicans are aollug very silly In getting mad aud resorting to ex treme measures about It. Let no gun be fired, no man be hurt. The Hopubllcaua must desist and go borne quietly. The Demoorats must do tbe same. The Democrats ought to take down the pole, or assure tbe Republicans tbat tbey do not mean, by this symbol, what it once meant. In this way peace can be restored, the Republicans be brought to renson, and the Democrats can bave thetr buiternuts. (Signed) n. J. Oqlesuy, Latest Markets by Telegraph. Naw Yobk, Oct. 17.
