Desperate Attempt at !Murder In Open
Court -Room In Washington.
We have heretolore referred to the opera
] lions of George McCauley, the thief who
was arrested some weeks ago, on charges
of stealing, or causing others to steal, a
great number of overcoats from the pas
sageways of residences in varioLs sections
of the city. We also made mention of one
of his gang, a boy named William Kinsley,
aged about fourteen years, who was arrest
ed at the time McCauley was. This boy
was the principal witness against McCauley,
and by his testimony he was found guilty
at the trial a day or two ago, as stated in
our court reports. Yesterday McCauley
was brought before Judge Olin for sentence,
and the Judge, in some extended remarks,
strove to impress upon the hardened villain
the enormity of his offence; and, after ad,
vising him to reform during his term of
confinement, sentenced him to five years
in the Albany Penitentiary.
McCauley, who during the remarks of the
Judge was standing about the centre of the
large green table in front of the clerk's
desk, was motioned hack to the prisoner's .
I dock, and seemed for a moment to falter,
but suddenly rising to his full height, drew
a knife and made a lunch with it at the boy
Kinsley, who was standing at the south end
of the table, by the side of Lieut. Johnson.
K.insley immediately dropped under the
table, and got out at the other end, seem
ingly much frightened, and Detective Mc-
Devitt took him under his care, while Lieut.
Johnson grappled McCauley round the
turns and Detective Bigley seized him by
tae throat, and there was a slcirmish, when
Messrs. Chandler and king came to the
rescue, and ono of them wrenched a small
white-handled knife, with a well-sharpened
blade, about two inches long, from the pris
oner's grasp. The crowd in the court-room
became greatly excited.
McCauley made some desperate struggles
with the officers, but soon the irons were on
his wrists, and he was taken before the
Judge, who remarked "I don't want to see
you;" and to the District: Attorliey, "Send
the witnesses before the t4rand Jury, and
let him be indicted for an assault and bat
tery, with intent to kill," and to the clerk,
Mr. Middleton, "Let Mr. Ituestis know
that the prisoner is not yet to be sent to Al
bany."
bile being taken out of the room by
Mr. McDevitt and Bailiff King, McCauley
exclaimed, defiantly, nay be gone, but
ail are not gone yet," which remark may
be better understood by another made by
Mill before he was placed in his cell at the
Jail, viz : "There are twenty-one men sworn
that that boy shall not live."
tin his return to the jail Warden Heustis
immediately placed him in heavy irons.
There seems to he some mystery as to
bow he obtained the knife, and the officers
at the jail are under the impression that
while ho was being taken to the prisoners'
dock at the court-room, some one of his
confederates slipped the weapon into his

The Reward for to Arrest of Surratt.
(Washington ror, Oa 8) Boston Advertiser.)
The War DepartMent has sent to C'on
gross certain pa persishowing that St. Marie
claims compeosation for giving the infor
mation on which John Surratt was ar
rested. It appears that he wrote toteneral
Grant from Montreal last October, and
urged his claim on the ground that he could
get no employment, as he was surrounded
by numerous enemies and liable to sutler
at any moment from the vengeance of Sur
rat's sympathizers. The letter was referred
to a board of officers consisting of Judge
Advocate General:Holt, General Rawlins
and Adjutant General Townsend, who
finally reported in St. Marie's favor. They
say that the formal Mier of $25,000 reward
for the arrest of Surratt was withdrawn in
April, 1865; but the otter to pay liberally
for Information was still standing, and the
facts comanuulcated by St. Marie led direct
ly to his arrest. They add that the odium
and peril to which St. Marie is subject by
reason of having appeared us a warless
should be taken Into account in deciding
what reward Is due to him. They report
that he should be paid $15,000. General
Grout refers the matter to Congress, which
must pass a special act before the money
can be paid.
The suspension oi secretary Stanton.
The Senate was in Executive session more
than five hours on Monday debuting the

given by the President, in his message of
the 25th December last, for the suspension
from office of the Secretary of War, Edwin
51. Stanton, do not concur in such suspen

evening. The resolution was passed by a
vote of yeas 35, nays It.
The Senate rumored the injunction of se

The Senate also ordered that a certified copy
of the resolution be transmitted to the Presi

The Vanity of Dickens
Mr. Dickens sports an immense double
gold chain, spanning the space between his

locket dangling at the end. Three heavy

A heavy gold button peeps front

Gold In Grnvel in California
A letter from Nevada county, California,
reports additional discoveries of gold in do
posits of cement gravel. The writer says :
"These are now features in mining, or
rather old and ancient channels discovered
under the range of mountains laving on a
course nearly north andsouth from Meadow
Lake and Sierra Nevada mountains through
to Southern California, and are bound to
swell the gold harvest of tl is coast larger

The Democratic State Convention which

that it was the seine gentleman to whom

Removnl of the Clerk of n Olktrlet Court
AlominomEnli, Ala., Jan. G.—Coneral
Swayne to-day issued the following order,
which NVIIS posted on the door of the office
01 the Circuit Court of this county:

orders. I am, very respectfully, your obe

Brevet Major-Gen. U. S.; A. D. C.
The following are the reasons for the sus
pension of Mr. Hubbard :
On Saturday, a complaint was filed in
the office of the Clerk of the Circuit Court
by John T. Morgan, attorney at law, fur a
person named Frank Williams, who
claimed the sum of $lOO,OOO as damages Mr
the alleged false imprisonment by Wagner
SW113:1113 at Selma, Dallas co. The imprison
ment took place during lust year. On the
tiling of the complaint, the clerk of the said
court. Chas, It. Hubbard, Esq., Issued a
summons commanding the Sheriff to sum
mon Wegner Swum) to appear at the next
term of said court to answer the complaint
of said Williams. As It was thought that
Gen. Swavne would leave on Sunday
morning, Mr. Hubbard directed the Sheriff,
if Gen. Swayne could not be found at head
quarters, to go to his private room and
serve the process on him. The Sheriff ex
ecuted the summons, and on Monday
morning Mr. Hubbard received the order
suspending him from the further discharge
of his duties.
The Southern Conventions and Their
Conrierratlve Tentlencle;
A caucus of the most extreme of the Rad
icals was held at the Capitol this morning
to consider what action might be taken to
thwart the Conservative tendency manifest
ed by the Southern Conventions. A pro
position was made to introduce a bill to the
House abolishing the several conventions
and providing for new Ones to be held et
the earliest moment. Upon counting noses,
however, it was discovered that there was
little hope for the success of such a measure.
The Radicals are evidently disconcerted and
display significant uneasiness.
The Republican Prospect
The Indianapolis correspondent of the
Commercial thus makes a prediction. It
says:
" With regard to the platform for the
AiPresidentlal campaign, nothing is said.
The party that waits till then for a policy,
is dead beyond all Impe. The Republican
party is sick to-day for want of a financial
policy, and unless Congress goes forward,
spite of the devil and McColloch, and
gives us a financial policy right soon, there
will be a big funeral nt Chicago next spring,
and a new party will administer on the
estate of the party that consented to follow
McCulloch in his 'march' buck to specie
payment, over the wrecked fortunes of tae
iilhnns who bore the burden of the war,in
hope that they might leave to a gratetul
posterity the larger but lighter part of the
money cost of their heritage.
The BarbaroTi Mode of thing. Adopted
==l
The Native Virginian, published at orange
Court House, gives the following lamentable
condition of the uegroes in that section:
In parts of Louisa and generally in
Fluvaunn negro huts are multiplying
rapidly. Many of these huts are built in
the wildest solitudes, a mile or more from
arable land, and accessible only by a nar
row path which the traveller passes un
noticed. They are built in the hastiest
manner, of the rudest materials, and resem
ble more the habitations of the beaver than
the residences of human beings. In these
thickets the negro children are being reared
in absolute, almost barbarous, idleness.
These are the first fruits of abolitionism—
the beginning of the end.
Mormon Moralit y.
It seems that the Mormon parsons do not
entertain any conscientirs scruples about
attending the theatre id other places of
amusement. A young .lady was seated In
the parquet, in the Salt Lake City theatre,
engaged in the customary innocent amuse
ment of gazing at her neighbors with her
opera glass. This did not accord with the
sense of propriety of a high church digni
tary, who rudely poked her in the back
with a cane and sternly commanded her to
desist from such an unladylike employ
ment. The young lady was so overcome
by shame and contusion at this public re
buke that she went off in a tit of hysterics,
and had to be carried out of the theatre.
Chinese Gold Coin
If we remember rightly, the Chinese
have not until very recently coined any
gold or silver. The small change of the
country has been the "copper cash,"
worth one-tenth of our cent, or there
abouts, while the only silver coin in
circulation was the Mexican dollar,
which in time became to some extent
the standard of value. Silver was gen
erally made into what was called " Sy
use sliver," the metal being swedged
or pounded Into the shape of a clumsy
shoe, the pieces fitting oue into another
like so many saucers, and being dealt
out by weight, as our bankers and
brokers buy and sell bullion. Gold was
little used, and not coined at all. Of
late, however, the Chinese are dbining
gold, and smx_iples are exhibited here as
curiosities. These coins ale in the main
like the copper cash with which every
Californian is familiar, having a square
hole in the middle, a polished rim
around the edge without milling, and
raised characters between the raised
disc and thefoentre. The gold appears
to be entirely pure, or alloyed different
ly from ours, being of a bright yellow
hue, and lacking wholly the red tinge
observable in our coin, and the weight
is equal to about $3.40 of our coinage.
The exact value of the coin we do not
know. It Is not equal to our coinage in
finish, but is nevertheless, quite a hand
some coin.
HORS*: APOtESTED.—On the first
day of January, 1000. a valuable horse was
stolen from Joshua F. Cockey, of Cockeys
ville, Baltimore county, Md. The thief
eluded his pursuers. On Sunday last, a
man giving his name as Charles Moore,
was found iu possession of a bay horse
under suspicious circumstances, in the
neighborhood of Peach Bottom, and de
tained for a short time by some of the citi
zens of the village. Moore, alter protesting
his innocence and alleging that he was the
owner of the horse, was let go. Whoa he
got to Strasburg, on Tuesday last, he of.
tered the animal for sale, first asking $172,
and then agreeing to take $4O cash, and af
terwards $2O cash and a note for $2O. Fred
erick Myers, Esq., suspecting that all was
not right, arrested Moore and took posses
sion of the horse. Moore was brought be
fore Alderman Wiley of this city, who MM.
mined him to prison for a hearing. Yes
terday Mr. Cockey and his brother came to
Strasburg and identified the horse as Ins
property. Moore had a hearing, and is
now in jail awaiting a requisition from the
Governor of Maryland.
To STOP THE FLOW OF BLOOD.—Tho fol
lowing mode of Stopping the flow of blood
should be remembered by every one. We
have tried this plan upon several occasions
and know that it is sure and safe. House
keepers, mechanics, and others handling
knives, tools and other small instruments,
frequently receive severe cuts, from which
blood flows profusely, and often endangers
life itself. Blood may be made to cease to
flow as follows: Take the line dust of tea
and bind it close to the wound—at all times
accessible and easy to be obtained. After
the blood has ceased to flow, laudanum may
be advantageously applied to the wound.
Due regard to these instructions would save
agitation of mind, and running for a sur
geon, who probably would make no better
prescription Bile were present.
CONTRACT FOR PAPER.—Washington cor
respondence of the 11th gives us the follow
ing
A great many dealers in printing paper
were attracted here to-day by the announce
ment that the contracts for supplying all
the paper used at the Government printing
office for the ensuing year would be opened
this morning. The contract embraces
60,000 reams of paper, and one of the new
conditions was that each bidder should ac
company the bid with a bond in $lO,OOO,
that he would furnish the amount of paper
which might be awarded to him. This was
done to prevent irresponsible perosns from
making low bids, which were afterwards
withdrawn in favor of other parties making
high bids.
The award took place in the room of the
Senate Committee on Printing, in presence
of the bidders and a large number of spec- • u
tutors. The largest contract will be awarded
to A. R. Baer, of Lancaster, Pu., at 17 4-10
cents per pound, and to W. A. Russell, of
Lawrence.l%lass., John 11. Ball, of New
York, and Patrick Keenan, of Hartford,
Ct. Mr. Baer was awarded 8000 reams
TEMPERANCE CONVENTION.--A State
Convention of the Pennsylvania Temper
ance Unions will be held in the Court House
at Harrisburg, on Tuesday, February Pith,
1808. It will commence at 10 o'clock in the
morning. livery one attending the Conven
tion will receive a free return ticket over
the Pennsylvania Railroad, Philadelphia
and Erie Railraod, and Northern Central
Railway, if they previously purchase a full
ticket from any station on either of those
roads to Harrisburg. The Pennsylvania
State Temperance Union will hold its An
nual Session at the same time and place for
election of officers.
FOOT Cntsnno.—A boy about 14 years of
age, by the name of Wagner, who has been
in the habit of jumping on and off the
freight trains near the upper railroad water
station, beyond Lemon street, for the pur
pose of gathering coal, whilst iu the act of
lgetting off a train on Saturday morning
ast, slipped and fell under the train, when
one of the cars passed over his foot, crush
ing it badly. He was taken to his home on
Mulberry street and Dr. H. E. Muhlenberg
called In, who amputated the foot below the
Instep.
THE ICE; CROP.—The cold weather of the
past few days has produced an abundant
ice crop, and many of our citizens are
availing themselves of the tine opportunity
for securing their usual supplies. Mr.
Jacob Hartman had a number of hands
employed yesterday at the the city reser
voirs cutting and putting away as fine a
quality of that article as we ever remember
to have seen in this locality, it being
from 6 to S inches in thickness, and per
fectly free from snow or mud. The ice
taken from the Conestoga is also of a very
fair quality,
DIIII.4.DFUL ACCIDENT.—A. dreadful acci
dent occurred in the limestone quarry of
Mr. Daniel Deber, situated in Lower Wind
sor township, about five miles below this
place, along the line of the Susquehanna
and Tide Water Canals. The quarry is now
leased and worked by Mr. John Detwiler,
and on Monday last, just before noon, two
of Mr. Detwiler's employees. , named Wil
liam Smeltzer and Joseph Rider, were
standing on a ledge of rocks about fifteen
feet from the bottom of the quarry, engaged
in clearing it off, when from some cause, a
large rock above them, weighing from two
to four tons, became detached, and in its
descent caught Mr. Smeltzer between the
falling rock and ledge on which he was
standing, crushing his breast and killing
him almost instantly. Mr. S. saw the rook
coming and gave the alarm in time to save
the life of Mr. Reader, but was himself
unable to get of danger. Mr. S. was an in
dustrious man about 25 years of age and
leaves a wife and five or six children who
were dependent on him' for support.—

DANGEROUS COUNTERFEIT.—'There is
now in circulation a counterfeit note of the
denomination or $lO on the First National
Bank of Philadelphia. It is admirably ex
ecuted, and none but an expert eau dis

that a large number has been circulated in
Harrisburg, and for fear thosepassing them
may visit these parts with similar inten

only and best plan to insure safety.
