8 T1TK DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 25, 187j C1TI I IV Tf B lh aoncD, JIMMY HAGQERTY, He Is Jelnar the Way Y All Flesh Of all the famous roughs that Philadelphia baa been afflicted with, the moot reckless, dar ing, and unscrupulous was Jimmy Haggerty. lie had been the terror of the city tip to the time when he escaped out of the clutches of the law by breaking through a posse of Mayor Fox's Democratic policemen, and fled to New York. It would be quite Impossible to specify even the more notorious of the crimes ho has committed here. In New York he carried himself with the same disdain of all law and order that he had manifested here, shooting, stabbing, punching, robbing, whenever an opportunity presented itself. His last achievement was an attempt to kill "Reddy the Blacksmith," but as all villains are said to have as many lives as a cat, Reddy recov ered. By the following special despatch which we have just received, it will be seen that these two roughs resumed their vendetta this morning, and, according to its contents, Jimmy is mor tally wounded. New Yokk, Jan. 23 .Tunics Ilagp-erty, a notorious character, was shot early this morn ing by William Varley, better known as "Keddy the Blacksmlsh," in a saloon at the corner of Broadway and Houston street, and is mortally wounded. Haggerty first fired three shots at Varley without effect, when his opponent re turned spiritedly, and Jimmy went down. It is thought he cannot possibly recover. POLITICAL. 1 lie tvf nteenth Iteprrsenmilve District Con mention. This morning the delegates of the various wards comprising the Seventeenth Legislative district, met at the corner of Frankford road and I'nity street, for the purpose of putting a candidate iu the field for Representative to succeed Joseph A. Campbell, deceased. This district has always been largely Republican, and at the hi9t election for Representative the Re publicans only failed from want of unity and energy. The district comprises the Nineteenth, Twenty-third, and Twenty-fifth wards. Harry Copcland, Twenty-fifth ward, is President of this convention. T. Howard (Jrillith, of the Twenty-fifth ward, and George A. Shalleross, of the Twenty-third ward, were the candidates. The latest intelligence from the convention is as follows, showing a tie: (Jrillith 10 votes Shallcross 10 " The contest is lively. G. Howard Griffith" received the nomination on the fifth ballot. A Lvnicitors Affair. A Jerseymin cam's to this city yesterday aud purchased" a horse, for which he gave $500. Rejoiced at having secured a good bargain, he commenced paying his re spects to "John Barleycorn," and leading his horse by a hitchiug-strap, he winded his way down town. On arriving at Shippen street he tied the animal to a post and stepped into a tavern to take another "smile." During hi temporary absence a dishonest youth of ragged appearance, named John l'allou, came along, and seeing no one about cut the strap aud led the horse away. Some police oflicers observing Fallon leading such a valuable animal and deeming something wrong, took him into cus tody. Meanwhile the Jerseyman had become eo elated that, staggering out of the groggery he proceeded to his home across the river utterly oblivious of the fact that he had bought a horse during the day. After making inquiries the olllcers learned that the animal had been stolen from a resident of New Jersey, and the.v after diligent search learned his name, lie was noti fied to appear at the Central Station this after noon, at which place Fallon will havo a lumrina:.

A farmer hailing from Bucks county yesterday went into a drinking saloon at New Market and Willow streets. While there he fell in with three other men, who seemed to manifest a great friendship for him. They slapped him on the back in a friendly way, and while talk ing to him managed to relieve him of $80 in cash. Discovering his loss, he notified the 1roprietor of the place, who Bent for the police, icfore the officers came two of the thieves made their escape, and the third one was ar rested. He gave the name of John Bryan, and on his person were found a revolver, a screw driver, and a portion of the stolen money, which was fully identified by the countryman. Bryan will have a hearing at the Central Sta tion this afternoon. Nearly Frozen to Death. The Schuylkill Harbor Police on Monday night found a m in named Thomas Newland frozen to insensibility at the west end of Market street bridge. They carried bim into a neighboring tavern, where by the administration of stimulants and vigorous rubbing they succeeded in restoring him. I i s was subsequently removed to his home, No. VMi Market street. On the same night an unknown man was found lying in the 6now on Chesnut street bridge. He was carried into the office of a marble yard In the vicinity, and alter great exertions he was made sufficiently conscious to tell where he lived, but could not articulate his name. He was taken to his home, at Fourth and Market streets.

IS HE A SHIRTLESS HEttOl An Errentrle Ceoncllmnn Regnrded Hui. rleotly-II AchBswIedaes Himself fjlewa. There is a lively contest In Councils now for the right to a seat In the Common Branch from the Sixteenth ward. Mr. White is the sit ting member. His contestant one Elsenbrown. The interest of this show centrei not so much In the ownership of the seat in contest, at it does in the "merr- Andrew" who represents the sitting member, and who is so far from being the hero of the boiled shirt, that it is said on many sides, "He wears no shirt at all." When we mention the episode of the cracked bell of the State Honse, and the remark, which, from its blunt honesty, is commendable "I will have nothing to do with 'rings' unless I am In them" the reader will at once remember the name of James Logan. Mr. Logan admits that while he is the best abused man in Common Council, he is the clown of the Chamber, and every time he presses the horny hand of a re porter gushingly 6ays, "Put this in the paper. You can't hurt me. You see, people begin to know me now .'" Mr. Logan, to the honors which come from his career as a Councilman and green-grocer, adds those which usually attend a lecturer and lawyer. He crasps at every opportunity to air his "logic and display his legal penetration. Naturally, when he discovered that one of thi parties to the present contest, Mr. White, had no counsel, he volunteered his services, which in the innocence of his soul Mr. White accepted. But the committee, unhappily, ridicule the at tainments of Mr. Logan, and his opponents have a full license to bombard him with shafts of wit, censure, nud withering contempt. It is Mr. Logan's practice and it will do our barristers much good to adopt it to wait in silence until all the witnesses for the prosecution are ex amined, then to rise, quote voluminously from "Purdon." and read a protest against the entire proceedings upon the ground of illegality. Jlcro is rtiatcgy; for it the protest be agreed to. then has he saved himself much trouble and bicath, and suilered nought. But if It Is not, then ! Yesterday Mr. Logan repeated this strategy. His point was that the witnesses hud not Leuu legally Interrogated, having been questioned, not by himself, not by any other counsel of tho respondent, but by one of the committee. The Chairman '"We appointed a man of equally good intelligence with yourself to In terrogate them. Why didn't you question them :-" (Members, sotto voce) "I guess he's got a shirt on to-day!" Mr. Logan ' I don't see fit. Mr. Chairman, to tell this committee what my objections are; but when I do give you them, I will have proofs!" (Members, confidential!-) "lie says ho will have proofs. Oh! ah!" Mr. Hetzell (for Eisenbrown.who contests tho seat) "I have sat here and heard a great many words of wisdom from the mouth of Mr. Logan, and a groat deal that is about the law of the case. While we are going to the trouble of bringing people here to testify, he Is constantly declaring that this is an illegal court; and I un derstand that his action in this is simply a pre liminary to an attempt in Councils to upset the committee, and I believe this is what Mr. Logan is getting at. (Sensation, cries of "Oh! oh!" during which the gentleman referred to winked knowingly to his client.) "Wo all know that tho gentleman wants notoriety, because he thinks it will make him popular. "lie has had his name in the papers two or three times, and thinks that is everything a member of Common Coun cil wants."" (Voices "He hits hira hard!" "Logan quails!" etc.) Hetzell. continuing "These are frivolous protects. It is a very nice thing to get up, after sitting still all the time during the exami nation, and saying I object,' but it wont go down. I think that this committee will have more respect for itself and Us own intiUKnoa than to follow this whimsical clown's advice!" The Chairman, sarcastically "The clerk will note that Mr. Logan was present at this meet ing, and therefore the respondent was repre sented by 'ablo counsel !'" Logan "I would say that those gentlemen who manage the case for the contestant are talking iu a peculiar way." The Chairman "Exactly! Put that down, Mr. Clerk. 'Peculiar' is good. The eutleman is getting down to law now." Logan "I being a professional man, claim the right to talk In my own way. I dou't protest to get my name in the paper. I I, gentlemen, have had notoriety enough." Hetzell "Yes. You refer now to the 'Song of the Shirt;' got enough of that yesterday, didn't you?" (A member" 'What's he to Hecuba, or Hecuba to him?' Let Mm drink hot blood.") Logan "I havo the right to let the witnesses all be examined, then protest to them iu a bunch." Mr. Mitchell (a committeeman) "The gen tleman has questioned the Illegality of this court. I suppose in what he has 6aid he does not refer to me. What would have been an insult from any one else would be a complimeut from him !" Then the meeting adjourned and the offended Logan, with "Purdon' under his dexter arm, and his hat set rakiskly over his left eye, glided from the Chamber. This afternoon the curtain will he lifted on another act. An attempt was made on Monday night last to enter the residence No. 3;J05 Arch street, West Philadelphia. The robbers burst off the bolt of the shed outside the kitchen, then forced the lock of the kitchen door, but the upper and lower bolts being well secured, and the door a very strong one, they were ballied. They then tried the west kitchen window with a jimmy, but countersunk bolts here stopped them. Then tl.ey likewise tried the east kitchen wlu dow,with like success. Their efforts were then directed to the pantry window, but although the thutters are badly mutilated, they did not succeed In effecting an entrance. A pocket knife used as a wedge at this window tbey were unable to withdraw. The footprints in the snow lead to the belief that they scaled the back fence and proceeded up Howell street to Thirty fourth, thence to Race, and doubtless to Mr. Bateman's house, where such bloody work was perpetrated the same night. There is one policeman on this beat, having a circuit of over a mile. He is not to blame if houses are entered. A larger force is certainly demanded In that district. Slight Fire About half-pa?t four o'clock this morning a lire broke out in a shed in the rear of No. 412 Locust street. This shed covered boiler used in the establishment of . J. New laud, manufacturing jeweller. The Are was discovered by Officer Gillespie, who ruu in to shut oif the Bteam. and was thereby badly scalded. No alarm was sounded, but three fire companies, by their timely arrival, prevented what might have been a disastrous coulla gration.

The Prlnr nail Princess of riedmont left Florence yesterday, took refreshments at Ternl, and arrived at Rome at four o'clock In the afternoon. There was an immense crowd at the 6tation and the Qulrinal Palace. The wea ther was horrible. The troops of the garrison and four legions of National Guard paraded, and the Prince and Princess, with General La Marmora and Prince Dorea, drove to tho palace in an open carriage, where they were received with enthusiastic demonstrations. Both wee called out to the balcony again aud again with tremendous applause. The Princess M.irgarette wore a blue velvet mautle and white satin em broidered scarf, with the colors of the house of Savoy. There was perfect order and the illu minations were general. The Auibaflsiirfors of Austria and North Germany, in compliance with instruc tions from their various governments, inquired of Antonelli what (iaurnntrr the Pope would regard as sufficient on the part of the Italian Government to remove his dissent to the civil and religious authorities ?

FORT Y.FIRST TERM - THIRD SESSION, tenure. Washington, Jan. 25. Senator-elect F. P. Blair, of Missouri, whose presence was an nounced by his colleague Mr. Schurr, appeared and took tbe oath of office. He was then ap pointed to fill the vacancies on theCommltteo on tbe l'aci&c Kail road aud Education and Labor. Mr. Cole reported, with amendments, the West Point Appropriation bill. Mr. Trumbull, from the Judiciary Committee, reported back adversely the bill lately introduced by himself in reference to life insurance com panies. Mr. Williams' resolution for a special Senate committee upon telegraph legislation was taken up ns the business of the morning hour. Objection was made because of tho supposed effect of tbe resolutions in compelling the re committal of bills already matured by standing committees, and now pending on the calendar. The morning hour expiring, the resolution went over without action. Mr. Sumner forwarded to the Secretary, and had read,' the credentials of his colleague, Mr. Wilson, re-elected for six years from -March 4 next. At 1 o'clock Mr. Schurz was awarded the floor on Mr. Trumbull's pending Civil Service Reform bill, but gave way temporarily to Mr. Howell, on whose motion the House bill grant ing pensions to soldiers and sailors, and widows of deceased soldiers of tue war of 1812, was taken up and read. Air. Howell said the Pension Committee had reported the bill without amendments, so that it would not have to be sent back to the limine to be again discussed and perhaps lost. 1 Mr. Morton did not believe that those pen sioners should be required to prove themselves virtually paupers. Mr. Howell, in reply to Mr. Ramsey, stated the estimated expenditure under the bill at half a million to 6tart with, and as few of the sur vivors were under seventy-five years, tliis amount, in the course of nature, must rapidly diminish, he earnestly advocated the immediate passage of the bill. Mr. Schurz thought it evident that the bill would lead to an extended debate, and resumed the floor. Mr. Scott appealed to Mr. Schurz to allow the regular order of business to bo passed over in formally, subject to the call of any Senator, in order to proceed with the Income Tax Repeal bill. Mr. 'Schurz assented, and the latter bill came up. IlOllH.

He saw no indi cation that that law would bo repealed, much to Lis own personal regret; and If Congress reas sembled on the 4th of March he had no reason able expectation that it would adjourn before the middle of April or 1st of May. He should himself do ail he could to have the session clone In a single day or in a single week, but in the liL'ht of experience he would hazard the pro phecy that if Congress met on the 4th of March next it would not adjourn before the middle of April or tbe 1st of May.
