A Disturbance Between the Invincible a and Keystones under the Walls of Independence Hall Democratic Houghs Break Up an Irish Republican Meeting at Twentieth and Mar ket Streets. Tlie Reign of Terror Fairly Com menced. It had been hoped by tho orrtcr-lovlnR people of this city, Hint as the issues Involved In the approach ing election were of lesser Importance, and many of the candidates such as to awaken no interest In their behalf, the time preceding the actual contest at the polls would bo marred by no undue excite ment ; that there would be no attacks of rival clubs, 110 breaking up of meeting, no general riots, no bloodshed. The good men of both parties desired this quiet, and thought to enjoy it, but the Issue of atiairs has proven their "wish father to their thought." When, a few nights since, the Republican Invincl bles were first attacked, in Uermantowu, by rowdies of the opposite political faith; and again, upon a fol lowing evening, at Twenty-third and Cliesnut streets, In both instances being refused protection by the Democratic police, the orderly and law-abiding por tion of the community were rudely shocked Into a realization that a reign of terror, like that which preceded last year's elections, was about opening upon them in riot anil bloodshed. Their dreams of peace were idle, and the occurrences of last night have rendered them doubly so. Unless the strong arm of the law is quickly and rorcioiy interposed, from this time until after the "second Tuesday" of the month, the city can expect nothing but commo tion and Coroner'B cases. About half-past 10 o'clock last night, following hard upon the rowdies' attack on the Irish Republican meeting at Twentieth and Market streets, a riot serious enough, and which promised at one time to become general and fearful, took place at Fifth and Chesnut streets, under the very nose of muni cipal authority, and the shadows of that venerable pile Independence Hall. The night had been fixed for the parade of the organization known as the Keystone Club. It had also been selected some days ago for the holding of a Republican mass meeting by the citizens of the Second ward, at Jefferson avenue and Washington Btreet,which the Republican Invinclbles had been in vited and solicited to attend. At 8 o'clock the latter named club left their headquarters at Fifth and Library streets, and marched to the place named. After remaining there a short time they returned to their quarters and dis missed. A short time after the departure of the Invlncl bles to attend the meeting, the Keystone Club march ed past the Inviuclbles' headquarters, with a pur pose .which can easily be surmised. Even the ma jority of the more sensible of their adherents condemned this action. At that time, how ever, they encountered none of their rivals, as those latter were already squares away on their march to the Second ward. As mentioned, the Invinclbles returned to their headquarters, and dismissed. This was about 10 o'clock. About twenty minutes past ten the tolling of a bell, mounted on a furniture car. announced to such parties as happened to be In the neighborhood of Fifth and Chesnut streets the approach of the Key stones. At this time, save a few detective officers within the station and a few Reserve ofllcers on the corners, not a policeman was to be seen in tho neighborhood. Culpable neglect on the part of tlie ornamental chief of the department was the verdict of everybody. The riot then occurred, tho facts of which, summa rized, ore as follows : The Aflrny. The Invinclbles, whom Uigli Constable Clark and a detail of police had accompanied all the evening, having returned to their headquarters at Fifth and Library streets, had extinguished the lights and locked up the building. Jlauy of tho members had pone to their homes, others were passing up Fifth street When the lino of tho Keystones reached that thoroughfare on Chesnut street all was quiet, but as the llrst company of the Keystone arrived above the water fountain nearest Fiftli street, a rush was mado from the street at the crowd on the pavement. During this temporary halt the lighted lamps were used pretty freely over the heads of the lookers-on. The lino again moved, and as the last company was crossing Fifth street, another rush was made opposite the fountain ; and just at tills time Archi bald rotter, who was in the rear of the procession, cried out, '"Come back !" and turning around, struck a gentleman in the mouth, knocking him down. High Constable Clark seized the offender, and ran him in the Central Station. This unprovoked attack by Potter was tho signal for a grand rush of the Keystones" down Chesnut street, and into Fifth, where they commenced an indiscriminate fusllado of pistol shots. The small force of detectives who were oa duty at the Central Station placed their badges on their coats and attempted to press back the rabble, but their efforts proved futile. The crowd pressed on, and on reaching the law office adjoining the Phila delphia Library structure, they were checked by a volley of shots from the recess in front of the Library building. This check was only temporary, and they discharged their weapons and pressed on. Their shots went down the street, where not a soul was standing, for it must be known that there was not an Invincible to lie seen iu or around their head quarters, which had- been deserted about half an hour before. All the firing from down the street came from the recess above referred to, and the number engaged In it was certainly very small, as no one could bo observed, and tho only evldeuce that anybody was there at all was from the Hashes of the weapons as they were discharged. After tho llrst volley the Keystoners, headed by a rather thlii fellow with a heavy black beard and moustache, pressed forward, but another volley from tho men behind tho wall not only halted thein, but sent ttiein back hurriedly towards Chesnut street. Here another rally was made, and with the sains result, tho balls Dying thick and fast lnjtlielr ranks. Homo of these nils Biles struck the outside of the detective olllce, one went through tha window-sash, and another struck a gentleman who was standing looking from tho window. During all this time tho Keystones were firing, with the scanty force of oillc is iu their midst en deavoring to make arrests. High Constable Clark, with a remarkable degree of courage, was doing good service between the parlies, when ho felt a Stinging sensation in his arm. He looked to see what damage had been done, and found that a ball had passed through his coat sleeve, grazing the flesh. Ho then resumed h!s post, aad iu company With Detectives Kolsh, Moore, Hums, and Roberts, endeavored to push the rowdies back, but tttey wculd not go, and again rushed down the street By thut time the party behind the wall had disap peared,? and the crowd ran further down, only to return to Chesnut street, and after a consultation, In face of a goodly number of oflbsers, who had been ....... .. .....,.,.. .1.,.,. ...--w.,,,,,1.,,1 t.i tUa tioorlnnnr- cuiieciei i.K''iiii;i. t-'j i"""1" i-w.i. .li ters of the Invinclbles and set lire to the handsome transparency in front or me uuumng, auu ic was consumed iu a very short space of time. While the party was engaged in plying tho torch, another squad was heaving bricks through tho win dows of tho offices on tuo lower door and of the room occupied by the Invinclbles. Some of these weapons of destruction demolished one of tho largo lamps at tho entrance door. Cheer upon cheer rent the air upon the execution of these cowardly acts, and being satisfied, tha brave fellows marched up tho street, passing the same squad of oilicers, making tho air rlug with their wilil huzzas.

For some davs past there has been a placard posted mound, announcing that an Irish Republican mass meeting would be held on Market street, abovo Twentieth, which would be addressed by several prominent sons of Krin. The stand was erected, and at the appointed hour the meeting was opened with the selection of the following oilicers President James Sweeney. Vice-Presidents W. (iiiilln, John O. Toohill, Wil liam Keating, and James Thompson. Secretary A. W. McDermott Anticipating from the crowd assembled about the platform that there would be trouble, the President sent word to Lieutenant Gercke.of the Sixth district, who Immediately sent a posso of men to the spot, with Instructions to preserve the peace. As soon as Mr. Sweeney arose to Introduce the speakers, a number of rotten egixs were thrown at those on the stand; and when lie announced the name of John Moriarty, Fsq., the crowd hooted and yelled, iind although be made several attempts to speak, the "unterilfled'' Interfered with him with with yells and groans. However, he continued to face the audience, who showered eggs and stones at him, when he, lindiug that his life was Imperilled, left the stand and proceeded down Market street. The crowd followed him, and he was compelled to take refuge In a neighboring store. They then re turned to the stand and pelted the Keystone Band, who were playing a patriotic air. During these scenes of outlawry the police stood by and made no effort to quell the disturbance. Finally the president called on these faithless oill clals to arrest an Individual who had hit him (Mr. Sweenev) In the face wtih a stone, hut they moved not. Finding It impossible to secure protection from the police Mr. Sweeney adjourned the meeting, whereat the rowdy clement gave three cheers for Pucker and Persuing. Z.ECAI1 XXJTELXiXaEIICZ.

The following decision, delivered by his Honor Judge Brewster, will lie found of general import ance to t!ie community, and of special interest to those engaged In the practice of the criminal law: In the Court of Oyer and Terminerand Ouarter Sessions 01 tlio 1 oace lorttio l.ity unit Uounty of I'lnliulolpiiKi. uom monweulth vs. Mutlhins Kuus. I.rewatur. J This is a demurrer to an indictment vhich charges tho defendant witn beiug accessary to a burglary, ana wnu liavm re ceived stulen goods, knowing them to have beon stolon. Of the reasons assigned in support of the domurror, tho following present tlio auhstanco of tho objections urged upon t he argument : 1. 1 hut tho indictment does not give the namo of the alleged burglur, out cnui-gcs mat lie was a parson un known. 2. That tho indictment isdefoctive in omit ting to chnme that the aliened burglary wua committed in tho night time. 3. That a concluding count built upon a prier defoctivo count must iun 11 us support iu reinnvju. Li pon tlio bearing 01 too argument tuo Commonwealth interposed a motion to amend the indictment, which will be considered in ita proper place. Tho first, objection to the bill ia founded upon tho old common law doctrine which require. I that tho guilt of the principal should bu established before, or, at ali events at the same timo that the accessory waa tried. In New York the rulo still prevails to a certain extent. Barb. Or.

(Act March iii, lHri'J, sect. 44, P. L. 440, lir. Dig. 257. sect. 41.) It ia very true that tho indictment against the accessary shculd be us particu'ar as if against the principal, (Wu.

Orcat stross was laid in this argttiuont upon the fact thut the ijanic of the principal felon was not given. Whero it is not known it canuotliu given ; and if we decided this point in favor of tho defendant, no accessary can be in dicted where the principal is a ut rauger and escapes. The point did not avuil the regicides, fur there the execu tioner was unknown, yet tlio averments "imnl j)mrur.irit itfiitittim" and "'.'

A moie serious objection is tliat ttie count for burglary omits to charge that tlio oftcuse wus committed "fr the 11 itlit II Mr." AH tlio forms require this averment, and the definition of the otlense iu our act of March HI, lMij.i, sect. 1:15 I l!r.

It will be within the recollection of our readers that a little more a year ago some little public sensa tion was created by the announcement that the wife of a citizen in respectable position In tho community had suddenly departed for Europe under the escort of a gentleman called by the title of "Colonel." Gradually the circumstanced were forgotton by the public. The parties returned and went to the house of the gallant's father, The wire obtained a divorce from her first husband and married the Colonel. According te the exact letter of the public advertisement in Biich cases, almost everything was "obtained without publicity." Tho case comes to public notice again by an application before Judge Gierke, In the Supreme Court Chambers, yesterday, to set aside the decree on the grounds of fraud and Imposition.

The article closes as follows: "If Ladv Byron saw her own happy life, full of tho most brilliant promise as It was before she met Byron, with youth, wealth, beauty, culture, and prospective rank, all vanished from her by her short-lived marriage, nnd all hope quenched from her heart, and if, though conscious of self-deuyiug conduct deserving praise, she encountered only injustice and reproach, and endured this without a murmur till tho death of her husband and all Lis near relatives, we ask if she had not done all and more than all that one human being could be expected to do for another, to endure all she did endure? To suiter silently was tbe 'part of a strong noble-minded woman, and at tbe last the right to vindicate tho name she was to leave behind from the misrepresentation which had been her life-long companion, should have been cheerfully granted her as the least recompcuse the world could offer for all its ill usage." itlurder.

New York, Oct. 2, At a meeting of tho Gold Board this morning it was resolved to appoint a committee of nlno to devise n plan for tho esta blishment of a clearing house as an adjunct of the board. Puleston, Raymond &Co. havo just announced their failure, caused, they say, "by Irregularities in their book." Scene on llie Old Ttnltle-lirnnnil This Morning. Special Despatch to The Evening Telegraph, New York. Oct. 2. The markets open this moruing with less inclination to speculate, and tho attendance at the several boards parti cularly tho Gold Koom has fallen off since yesterday. In tho latter room about twenty . men could bo fotiud surrounding the ring wo mean that which In closes the fountain who had temerity cuough to bid for small sums of gold, not with that swagger that was so characteristic last week, but in subdued tones, fearing to arouse too loud a noise, as they do not desire to bear tho hol low echo that will resound throughout tho vacant room. There is but one that seems willing to trade on a large scale, and that is Colgate, of Trevor & Colgate. Ho gives some foundation te tho board by his portly presence. Previous to tho opening of the quotations a motion prevailed and was adopted appointing a committee of nine for tho purpose of establishing a new clear ing house, so that by Monday next tho board could commence in a legitimate way.

Legrand Lockwood states that ho will resign the trca eurcrship in a few days, nnd that their indebted ness to that company is not as largo as repre sented. I.nck of Confidence. The general lack of confidence still prevails to some extent, and the idea is that it will not do to force prices up, as it will have a tendency to throw out too much utock that is held back for high figures, but the prices are well maintained, though attended with no activity.

The Louisville (Ky.) Journal says: "A man named Kdward tfcheivelheiu called at the house of Mr. K li. Dean, about twelve miles from the city on the Salt River road, last. Monday night, and asked to stay all night. His request waa granted, and after supper he waB shown to his room and retired. Karl; next morning the household was aroused by the loud report of a pistol proceeding from the room of the stranger. Upon entering, he was found lying on the floor a corpse. "Nothing is known of the man, or where he came from, except what may be gleaned from a letter or two and some promiscuous scrlbblings on a number of old envelopes and rumpled letter paper found ly ing on the table, all of which he had probably taken from his pocket. There are two letters of the same date Cincinnati, September 24, 1S09. The llrst reads as follows: "Klizabeth: I send you in this letter a money order for 145. You take this letter to the Vevay Tost Olllce, und there you get your money. "Uood-by, Henry, and all, forever. "Look for no more letters, for I am where there Is no more writing done.

It is as follows: "Elizabeth: Perhaps before this letter reaches you 1 um gone for good. I hope you may all do well. 1 ake good care of little Henry. I can see him no more. I have sent you a money order for forty-live dollars. 1 paid the money here In the Post Olllce. Good-bye forever. Edward Sciueveluein, "It seems from the promiscuous serlbbllngs that were found on his body that, after going to his room at Mr. Dean's house, he took a dose of arsenic, and, after walling patiently for several hours without any effect, shot himself. While waiting he wrote the fol lowing messages: "I have swallowed arsenic, about a quarter tea spoonful. It has not troubled me yet, one hour from the time. Next the pistol. li. s. "liefore resolving Dually on tlio pistol, however, he waited for the poison' to do its work, writing down in the meantime his experience and meditations: "For the benefit of Miieldcs: He sure ami learn from good doctors the vital parts of tlio body, or you'll be bothered as 1 am. li. fc). "Then again: "Advice to future suicides: Don't do like mo, but find out the exact vital point before shooting, aud also the quantity of arsenic. E. S.

There is no new feature in our local Money market worthy of notice, but there Is manifestly a better feeling aud tone iu money circles. The banks appear to be gaining strength, and the pressure for loans accords better with the supply than during the past week or ten days. Call loaus are comparatively easy at 07 per cent, on Government securities, but on miscellaneous collaterals the rates range from 8 to 10 per cent. Time contracts are readily eil'ectud at bank and from private lenders ut 10(n Iii per cent., according to the character of 'the securities oifured.
