»' Tfae.lbemocratic party has certainly put itr
■Mff jjijist where its opponents Want it. The
■Scenes that have been enacted in the
r cratic Convention this week, and the character
•f the work which they have accomplished,
t leave no room to doubt that the worst rowdy
[/element of the Democracy is wholly in the as*
sendant, and that it means to rule or ruin this
«ty,'ff it cdn. The National Assembly of the
Preach Revolution rarely exhibited scenes of
more brutal violence and anarchy than have
been enacted during the last few days by and
in’the name of Democracy. The result of this'
disgraceful Conventionhas been the nomination
•f just such a ticket as might baVe been ex
pected. It presents no single redeeming fea
ture, not one name that deserves/ the confi
dence or support of.this community, while it is
blackened and made odious by some names,
known only to the public by their fre
quent connection with the police reports. No
one name of a prominent and respectable
Democrat appeals among the disgraceful re
cords of /this riotous conclave. It was ruled
by McMrillin, Moiuitjoy, Josephs, “Piggy” Di
vine and more of the same stamp, and its
work is in perfect keeping with its workmen.
... -The key to the present position of the Demo
cratic party is the selection of John P. Ahern'
as Clerk of the Court of Quarter.- Sessions.
This hold, brazen move upon the sanctity of
eur Criminal Courts reveals the : whole design
of the mob-Democracy. Hitherto, the Courts
of Philadelphia have stood as a barrier between
the law and the Democratic -mob. With one-,
•r two painful exceptions in the Supreme ~
Court,. Democratic partisanship has been pow
erless with our judges, and until the barrier of
a'pure judiciary is broken down, Democracy,
in its full, lawlessness; cannot rule in this great
city. Now, encouraged by its partial and tem- 1
porary successes, the “Rough” wing of the
Democracy, which controls its majorities,
lias .made, a-bold and direct move upon the
Criminal Courts. To capture the Clerkship of
the Court of Quarter Sessions would he to
- gain a vantage ground from which it might
confidently hope to push its way into the
Coiirt itself, and when the Democracy-cap
tures that Court, it will be time for decent peo
ple to look out for new homes.
In the face of the bold move by which the
Democracy has thrust itself forward,in its most
yrenufeive ugliness unon the people of Pliiladel-
Bphia; the duty of the Republican party is plain.
■The ticket which it lias presented to the people
Pik already too far superior to the Ahern ticket
* to, leave any doubt as to the duty of every
, good citizen at the ballot-box. But we wish to
see the ranks still more compactly closed, the
works still more thoroughly fortified. Every
weak point—arid there are a few on the legis
lative ticket—should he strengthened, und the
Bepubiicoh party cannot fail of a splendid and
most important victory. i
Legislative ticket is not wholly what it
should be. The record of the last Legislature, J
as a whole, was so bad, that almost every indi- !
ridual member of it shares in the odium of its
acts. If those members who have 1
been renominated are honest, public-spirited, j
.high-toned men, they ought to appreciate j
the fact that the public welfare demands an
fcntire change of the next Legislature, and j
■withdraw then names from the ticket. If they j
Rre'not, if they belong to the corrupt trading j
politicians who constituted the majority of the j
Ks? Legislature, their names should be with- j
Brawn by the people. j
■The people want a thoroughly fresh and j
mlean Legislative ticket. The Democracy has (
■feist victory upon' the Republican party by the
of the past week; let not the ,
■epublican party miss the fruits, of that victory j
■trough its own timidity or stupidity. Give us ,

Does anybody suppose tliat the Democratic
! leaders expected to carry the fall elections hon
estly when they selected such men as Ahem
and Stewart for candidates ? They know too
well the estimation in which these gentry are
held by respectable citizens,, and they are fully
aware that the Republican majority in this city
cannot he reduced fairly while these fellows are
Democratic candidates. But the Democracy
intend to labor hard for success. . The first
movement was to induce Judge Sharswood to
pronounce the Registry law unconstitutional.
The conventions would not have dared to
nominate such outlaws if this barrier to fraud
had not been removed. Now McMullin and
his colleagues have determined to repeat their
tactics of last year. There will he more “col
onization” than ever before; and Mr. McMul
lin and his cbliorts will '-, sweep through
the city, organizing war at eveiy polling place
j and driving voters away that they may do the
i voting themselves. They will be supported by
! Mayor Fox’s policemen and by Sheriff Lyle’s
| deputies, and we will have scenes of lawless
ness and riot which will make the New York
i Democrats pale with envy. There can he no
1 doubt that this is the programme, and that
, Mayor Fox and Sheriff Lyle will do their duty
!in carrying it out. The Mayor’s office was re
presented hi the Sixth Ward Convention by a

showing so rapid a diminution of a great debt;
Moreover,' ; this diminution has bqenjefiketed in
the face of a diminution of taxes; for the in
ternal revenue: receipts have not been as large,
during the fiscal yebr jiisifc &naj£d,'Sa£ ’they -vote,
during either of the former past years. Retrench
ment in all : the departments of the Govern
ment, honesty in the collection bf revenue, and
enlightened, intelligent administration of the
' Treasury', have brought about this; extraordi
nary reduction of the debt. It takes a long
time to correct the abases that were . not
'only tolerated but fostered during Andrew
Johnson’s wicked administration. It has taken
time to turn out his worthless, 'thieving office
holders. But in spite of all, the work of
diminishing the national debt'has gone on with ‘
a celerity that was not expected even by the
.most sanguine members of the Republican
party and the moSt enthusiastic admirers of-
General Grant. The Whisky King, which
caused a heavy drain Upon the Treasury in
former years, has been broken up, and the
reduced tax brings in an increased revenue,
which is as satisfactory to the people as is the
knowledge that an anny of fraudulent specula
tors lias been deprived; of- its ’ffieans atidj ma
chinery bf mischief. :
During several sessions of Congi-ess, differ
ent branclies of indristryihave been relieved of
taxation; and yet, with an honest collection of
revenues, and faithful, intelligent management
of them, this great reduction of the debt has
been effected. Congress, at its next session,
• may go further with a like result;' : and, first of
all, it ought to repeal the Income Tax, which is
iodious and inquisitorial, and which' can be dis

The Age, the New York World and other
Democratic sheets, have been very much ex
cited lately about General Sickles. Several of
them have - published wliat' they call “his
record,” and have cried shame'at the Repub
lican party for harboring such a man. Now,
if this record of Sickles is true, the disgrace re
mains with the Democratic party. Eveiy
crime charged against him was committed,
if committed at all, while he was a leader of
tliat, organization; and his morals were cor
nipted, if corrupted at all, in the society of
Democrats, and in such scenes as those enacted
in the Democratic Convention just adjourned.
That any man should come from such associa
tions uneontaniinated, or, indeed, in any con
dition but that of hopeless demoralization,
would be indeed remarkable; but it is a well
known fact tliat Sickles, whatever his past mis
conduct, lias behaved well in the field and in
private life since his connection with the Re
publican party. 'While this is the case he de
serves good treatment,. A repentant sinner lias
a right to iorgiveness. It will not he safe for
Democrats to’preach any other doctrine, un
less they are willing to accept eternal condem
nation for themselves.
According to a recently published statement,
Pennsylvania has 4,400 miles of finished rail
roads. or about one thousand more miles than
any other State of the Union. Illinois has
3,450, Ohio and New York each 3,400, and so
on down. The New York Evening Post
thinks that the lines now building will, in a
short time, give New York the greatest num
ber of miles in use in all the States; but there
are plenty of Pennsylvanians willing to bet, that,
their State will more than maintain h«r present
supremacy. There are a number of new rail
roads in progress, and more projected, in Penn
sylvania. Besides, if all the underground rail
roads. belonging to the hundreds of mines in
this Shite, were included, the actual number of
miles would'exceed live thousand.

.well that the only hope of success in the elec
tions existed in tlie presentation of a ticket
< for ' which respectable citizens would
vote. But the Age has lost its
influence with the rowdy and controlling ele
ment in the party; and so, despite its good ad
vice, men were taken from the brothel; and tile
mm shop and the gutter, to represent the
Democracy. The Age is not ashamed to give
countenance to this outrageous insult to decent
Democrats, because, as it declares, “fidelity to
the organization l is the only safeguard of the
party.” This is the favorite Democratic'prin
ciple. The ticket must he supported, even if it
contains the names of none but outlaws and
blackguards. And this, too, will be the policy
of jthe Democracy. They will vote in a body
for the favorites of the rowdy convention.
But what must be the humiliation of a respect
able journalist who, is compelled to eulogize
: “Johnny” Ahem and Other proteges of Aider
man McMullin!
In their platform the Democrats pledge them
selves “to the reform' , of every abuse that can
give occasion" for complaint.” There are va
rious opinions as to what constitutes “an
abuse.” Mr. McMullin' and some others of
the managers of the recent conventions, con- 1
sider that the rigorous execution of the laws,
bythejudges of the/Quarter Sessions'Court,
the prosecution of bail, and the relentless pun-.,
ishment Of ruffians, black legs and thieves, are
“ahuSes.” And we have a right to beliey? that„
this is the sense in which the wordis used in
the platform, because the men who drafted the
resolutions also nominated Ahern to the Clerk
ship of the Quarter Sessions, in which position,
if elected, he will have power to protect those
of his friends, companions and relatives, who,
in the future, as they have done ; in the past,
violate the larva. This nomination is the first
of a series of manoeuvres planned for the pur
pose of giving the control of the Criminal
Court to the outlaws of this city. Let all honest
men look at New York, and taking warning
from the terrible example, resolve that this out
rageous assault upon the only bamer that pro
tects the community from those who'prey upon
it, shall be defeated at the outset. ;
William Collins, an English poet, died one
hundred and thirteen years ago;' and yet the
classical little dirge, beginning
“How Bleep the bravo who sink to rest,”
was the best thing that could he found to be
sung yesterday in commemoration of a battle
fought in America in 1803. More than that,
the whole dirge was sent from Gettysburg to
Philadelphia, by the harnessed lightning of the
telegraph, to be printed in yesterday’s Bulle
tin. We do not grumble at paying telegraphic
tolls even for such a poem, though nearly every
body knows it by heart. But it was an insult
to Collins’s memory, to have two ad
ditional verses sung at the Gettysburg cere
mony, which were written by an ass named
Carter, of Baltimore; and it was an outrage
upon a newspaper that it should have had to
pay tolls for telegraphing his trash. It was
printed, by way of contrast, with Collins’s
beautiful lines; hut hereafter we shall take
measures to avoid having effusions like Carter’s
transmitted by the costly agency of the electric
telegraph.

Tbe Steamship “United Kingdom.'’
The New York Times says:
The United Kingdom, steam packet ship of
the “Anchor Line, lias now been outseventy
three days from this port, without a word hav
ing been heard from her. ShesailedforGlasgow
on the i!!tb of April; and every day increases
the anxiety for her safety, though her agents
here do not give her up yet. Sue was a slow
vessel, even under steam, and had any acci
dent happened to her macliiuery, herpro
-gTess would be very much slower under
the limited amount of canvas ; she carried.
Her captain was an experienced sea
man, having been employed on the Anchor
Line for over twelve years; and the steamer
was a comparatively new and'stauncli craft.
She was built at Greenock, Scotland, in 1837;
was an iron screw steamer, bark-rigged; meas
ured 1,300 tons, and was valued at about
.£40,000. The average length of her trips
across the Atlantic, of which she has made
over eighty, was from seventeen to twenty
live days. When she left this port she was
loaded withti cargo of grain, rosiu and provi
sions, which are insured on the other side.
The following is a list of her passengers:
Cabin—Whitmore Pearce, Clark. Wilson,
Mrs. M. Ryan, Mrs. C. Rathway, John Bin
son, Eliza Binson, Emma Rinson, J. R.
Thompson.
Intermediate— Wm. Forrest, John Uscougb,
Owen McCloskv, Jas. Whitley, Philip Dod
weli, Agnes Douwell, D. Kerr.
Steerage— Bernard Ariensen, Nathaniel Dar
rah, Marion McCall, Pat. Carney, Mary
Cannon, Catherine Foster, John Doherty,
Mary Montgomery, Pat. Hanley, Ann Fagan,
Mrs. It. S. Orr, Theodore Lees, James Scott,
W. Anderson, James Nesbitt, Jacob Michael,
Mary Colvin, Ellen Colvm, Win. Borgnliolze,
Jane Paul.
The cause of her long absence is only a mat
ter of conjecture. A break in her machinery
may have obliged her to use sails; she may
have been driven far her coursa by gales,
owing to difficulty in steering; or she may
have foundered on icebergs or burned at sea.
Unless heard from very soon, we fear the good
ship will have to be placed upon the list of the
“fir-fated,”
THE COURTS.
The Registry Law.
Supreme Court —Chief Justice Thompson,
and Justices Read, Agnew, Sliarswood aud
Williams.—This morning the appeal in the
case of the Registry Raw was taken up for
argument.
Sir. Charles Gibbous, on behalf of *the de
fendants, opened the argument, submitting
three propositions: Fh-st —That the plaintiffs
in this bill have no standing in Court, Second
—That the Court has no jurisdiction of the
subject matter of the bill. Third —That the
Act of Assembly is a constitutional law.
The object of the law was to throw guards
around the ballot-box aud render pure the
elections, and if possible elevate the character
of our public servants. In this connection Mr.
Gibbons stated the- principal features of the
registry law. Jn regard to the first proposi
-tion he held that tins is a public bill, operating
all over the Commonwealth. The plaintiffs
are private citizens, representing nobody but
themselves. They have no more interest in
the matter than the public generally,for whom
they are not authorized to speak. They show
neither injury nor damage: on the contrary, it
•appears from their bill and the act itself to be
impossible for-them-to-s us tain any special
damage by the operation of this law. Who
authorized these plaintiffs to come into court?
Who appointed them my agent or the agents
of the people of this community to come into
this court and ask you to declare a law which
the whole community is praying for uncon
stitutional and void? They have no authority
to appear. A party' appealing to
a Court- of - Equity must——show
that lie is • suffering' some special
damage to person or property. The interests
of the defendants are the same as those of the
plaintiffs—all are subject to the operations of
the law, and subject to the same taxation;
therefore the plaintiffs cannot show any spe
cial damage. If these six plaintiffs can'come
here and ask to have a great public law de
r blared null and void, then one man eau do it,
and thus obstruct the operations- of a general
law.
A number of authorities were cited in. sup
port of the proposition. -
I In regaru to the second point it was held
1 that the regulation of elections belongs exclu
(lively to the Legislature.. It was so declared
by the charter of 1083. It was so declared by
the 18th section of the Constitution of 1776.
The same Constitution limited the chancery
* powers of the Supreme Court to the perpetua
tion of testimony, obtaining evidence from
places not within the State, and ' the care of
persons and estates of those who are non com
pos mentis, “and such otli.er powers as may bo
found necessary .by future General ‘As—
■ sembhes, not inconsistent with this Con
. stitution.” The - Constitution of 1790 did
practically and substantially the same thing,

> and so stands the Constitution now. Itia plain
that no power existed in the Court to inter
meddle with election laws. ■. Such ivpower con
. Judges of the Conrt held their oftices^ ’f&t Hfb/
" have
ing held, by settingaside electibnlaws ottheir
pleasure. (The sixth .articld'-’bf. the. Rill, of
; RlghtaoLl776madeprdvfeiW:jigalnBtlegiBla
. ti ve or executive,oppression: “‘That those who
'arc employed in the legislative : ahd.exeeutivo
.business of the State may he restrained from -
oppression; the people have a right, at such
: periods as they thinx proper, to reduce their
. public officers to a private stotion,'and sup
ply the vacancies by certain and. regular elec*
i tions.” The several constitutions and aincnd-
men to continued all the laws in force, and
, thus the exclusive right of the Legislature to
make laws for the regulation of elections,
Without the interference of this Court, was
perpetuated* This Court is responsible to the
Legislature and the Legislature is responsible
to the people, whose agents they are, to carry
out all great public measures.
! This is the agent to whom the Constitution
givesjhe exclusive power of regulating the
elections of the commonwealth. In the charter
of 1083 the representatives of the peopless/ere
; entrusted with “the appointment ana propor
tion of which number, as also the laying and
methodizing the choice of such representatives
in future time.” This has been carried into'all
the subsequent legislation and chartets and
constitutions; While this power of regulating
elections s j vested in the Legislature, the
same Constitution limits the power of this
Court, and denies to ' this Court the
right to interfere with any election law. There
’ must have been some reason tor this,’ The
people of that day, in the midst of a revolu
tion, did not mean in the distribution of their
Sovereignty to place in one tribunal tile power
to destroy their liberties. * They guarded
against it not only by the Constitution, but by
limitingthe power of the Legislature,by giving
them the power to extend the chancery powers
of this Court, hut this is to ire “not inconsistent
with the Constitution.” This Conrt was never
authorized to determine whether a law em
barrasses the people in the elections. That is
for the people themselves to decide. If the
conrt can restrain the operations of a great
law then you can send out your attachments
for contempt by some 20,000 election in
this Commonwealth, whose duty it is to carry
outr tlie law. If you can do all this, where will
you bury your dead? If you can restrain
these defendants, yon could grant an injunc
tion to restrain the Legislature from passing
such a law, and where will you end?
Is the laiv constitutional? The opinion of
the Conrt below is founded almost exclusively
on a mistaken idea of the meaning of the fifth
article of the Bill of Rights, which declares
“that all elections shall be free and equal.”
The Court assumed the article to mean that all
.election laws shall be uniform throughout the
State. There is no authority to he found any
where for such a construction. As applied to
elections the word “free” lias never had but
one meaning in Pennsylvania. It means the
right of the elector to vote without unlaw
ful obstruction, intimidation or corruption.
The word is used in the laws agreed upon in
England, in 1082, in that sense—“ Ail elec
tions,” &c., “shall be free and voluntary.” The
great law of Chester, passed August, 1082,
uses the saine words, and in the same sense.
They are found in the Bill of Rights of 1770,
and in the Constitution ot that year, as follows:
“All elections, whether by the people or in
General Assembly, shall he by ballot, free and
voluntary,” &c.
The case is still under argument.
Messrs. Dropsie, Simpson, Gibbons and
Meredith appear for the defendants, and
Messrs. Phillips and Hirst for the complain
ants.

Friday, July 2,15G9.—1t is not a little singular that
in the face of the large disbursements in gold and cur
rency now in progress, the money market should con
tinue active and stringent, but such is the fact. Thede
mand for loans is unabated, and the rates for accommo
dation, both at the banks and in the open market, show
no material change from those of yesterday. This fea
ture is not peculiar to our city only, but prevails in New
York and other cities where money continues scarce and
dear.
We quote call loans t 6a7 per cent, on Government
and other good stock collaterals, and prime mercantile
paper is current to-day on the street at -7alo per cent.—
the exact figure depending upon the credit of the maker
and the zeal with which it is pressed on the market. The
banks continue conservative, and discounting with them
is the exception and not the rule. *
Gold is steady at with limited transactions.
Government loans are quiet here, hut active in New
York at an advance of per cent, on closing prices of
yesterday. State Loans were inactive. City Loans were
ill better request; 100 for the hew, and for the old
certificates.

liATEB FROM WASHINGTON'
THE CUBAN QUESTION
OUE TREATMENT OF THE MATTER
Opinion of the British Legation
England Placed in an Awkward Position
and Oar Treatment of Cuba.
I Special Despatch to the Phlla. Eve. Bulletin.l
Washington, July 2.—The comments of the
British Legation here.and the anxiety they
evince in regard to, the . enforcement pf the
neutrality laws In Caban affairs, are somewhat
amusing, They say that the course pursued
by our Government in arresting the Cubans
cannot be considered as a settled policy*
and that the vigor manifested will, not
long continue, but, on the contrary,soon disap
pear. Itis useless, they say, to attempt to en
force these laws with such an extent of sea
board, and that even if it could be done the
offence which it would ; give to the
people frenders their execution impos
sible. The attitude of the legation
plainly demonstrates that the English officials
j consider that our present Cuban policy places
the conduct of England towards us daring the
late war in a very awkward. position.: There
seems to he do doubt hut that England would
be rejoiced to see the United States pursuing
a similar neutral policy, at the present time,
to the one which she followed during the re
cent, civil war. ’■
There is reason to believe that the interview
which lately took place between Minister
Thornton and Minister Boberts was in rela
tion to this subject, arid that the former en
deavored, under instructions from the
British Foreign Secretory,' to induce the
Spanish Minister to make_no further calls
upon the United States authorities to enforce
the neutrality laws. On the other hand, the
administration is ' well aware' that if these
laws be strictly adhered to and vigorously exe
cuted, England will he obliged to come soon
to a just settlement of the Alabama claims.
Senator Sumner, at the.beginning of the Cu
ban troubles, foresaw what the result would,
be ifthe administration did not take into con
sideration the connection between the Cuban
and English cases, and insisted upon the adop
tjon of the very policy which novvi prevails.

f Special Despatch to the Phila. Evening Bulletin.]
Kuw Yokk, July 2.—There is some conflict
of authority between Marshal Barlow and Ad
miral Gordon, the latter saying that he will no
longer keep and feed the , Cuban filibusters,
while Marshal Barlow says the Admiral .will
have to keep them, because he (Mr. Barlow)
cannot. ,/
Washington, July 2. —Becent advices ffom
Cuban sources state that after tlieir recent re
pulse, the Spanish forces in the Oirico Villas
district were reinforced by two thousand men
—regulars and volunteers—which increased:
the government forces to nearly double that
of the Cabans, and they were compelled to
retreat. Several small bodies vyere captured
by the Spaniards, one numbering eighty-five
men. ''Among them were a number or Ameri
cans,all of whom are reported to have been ex
ecuted by order of General it is
said, is the commander of the expedition—im
mediately after tbeir capture. Nearly all the
large plantations in the district have been de
stroyed. It. is reported that the Cuban gene
ral is concentrating his forces to meet this col
umn under General Lesca, and that news of a
decisive battle is expected every day.
President Grant, in an interview to-day with
Bepresentatives Clift and Edwgrd, Dr. Culver
and others, of Georgia, remarked that haying
appointed Postmasters for Augusta and Ma
con, he was not disposed to change them un
less the incumbents should prove incompetent.
During the interview President Grant gave
no indication that he was considering the po
litical status of Georgia.
The commissions of the following Post
masters were signed by the President to-day:

Ketcbum, the forger, was up again to-day be
fore the Supreme Court, which was densely
thronged with the friends of the convict.
When Judge Barnard was about to render his
decision Mr. Phelps, in behalf of the prisoner,
protested against the proceedings instituted
for Ketchum’s release, and asked that the writ
should be discharged and the prisoner re
manded to prison. He said further that the
prisoner considered the sentence just and de
served, and he did not desire to avitil himself
of a technicality to obtain liberty. Mr. Bart
lett explained that he had sued out the writ at
the request of the prisoner’s father. Judge
Barnard said that, under the circumstances,
but one course remained for him, which was
to discharge the writ and remand the prisoner
to the State Prison.

The Intended Government Bond Purchase
Its Effect upon the Market
GOLD STRONG AND HIGHER

—[BreclaiDeaEatchtothophll(iJa.Evonlncllullotiii.]-
. New Yobk, July 2. —The intended large
purchase, amounting to $3,000,000 of bonds, by
the Treasury on Saturday had a very buoyant
effect on the general markets. Everywhere
there is a more cheerful feeling prevalent.
The money market is not materially affected,
however. Rates for call loans are sto 1 per
..eeatJbut.a large .supply was.ottering through
ont the morning at the higher rate.
Gold is strong and higher; at the opening
it was selling at 137|; later in the day the mar
ket became weaker, and there was a reaction
to 137a!37{> Foreign exchange is firmer, and
leading bankers quote at 93a9J for 60-day bills,
and 101 for sight. ,
The Government bond market is strong and
higher, especially in new bonds. There was
an advance of 4 to 3 per cent.
The stock market at the opening was active.
Prices fell off; from dosing prices last evening.
Michigan Southern, the leading feature, roso
to 110, while Pittsburgh touched 1044, and'
Pacific Mail 91. This advance, however, was
afterwards partially lost. -N. Y. Central was
largely dealt in at ,VJ6al9s.i. The fluctuations
of other stocks were not important, and only

CITY BULLETIN
The late Eire on Chestnut Street.—
This afternoon Mayor Pox continued the in
vestigation of the charges that policemen had
been engaged in stealing at the recent tire at
the store of Leonard, Baker & Co., No. 210
Chestnut street.'
Eire Marshal Blackburne was recalled, and
said that it was about ten o’clock when he dis
covered that the bins in the second story had
been tampered with, and remarked to
Mr. Baker, “ There has been pilfer
ing here;” when he said that the steal
ing bad been done at the first rtisli,
he meant when the building was first entered;
he discovered no further disturbance of goods /
after the fire had been extinguished; m the
third story there was some sewing silk which
bore the appearance of having been hurriedly
takenfrom the paper boxes; fie went through
che building several times up to the time he
left (12 o’clock); there were officers on
every; floor; he had had conversations with
members or the firm since, but they made no
charges against the policemen; all he heard
was Said by Mr. Edwin Baker and
wards, which they had related yesterday in
their examination; lie had taken the Inquirer
to Mr. Leonard, and that gentleman disclaimed
all knowledge of the attack then and regretted
that it had appeared there, saying that a por
tion of the article was calculated to injure
Philadelphia; Mr. A. G. Baker, another mem
ber of the firm, had assured him that he had
never furnished any such information.
Day Sergeant- A. H. Bandall stated that he
reached the fire about seven minutes before
nine o’clock, and mot Lieutenant Killacky
with ten men about seven minutes after the
alarm was sounded; at that time the doors
were opened and two streams on; went inside
and looked around; then asked Lieutenant
Killacky to post his men at the doors; when
the fire was-a little subdued I ordered the men
inside; I staid there until nearly
eleven o’clock; I remained on the
first floor, watching the proceedings
of the firemen who were running about there;
a few went up stairs; no policemen went up;
they couldn’t have got up for the smoke; the
firemen run that risk; they carry sponges,
which they put over their mouths; I saw
several with sponges; it was after 10 , o’clock
when the policemen went up stairs; the fire
man had been goingup and down stairs three
quarters of an hourbefore the policenlen ven
tured up; saw no firemen carrying anythingjsaw
three firemen acting suspiciously among the
clothes on the first floor, and called the atten
tion of Lieutenant Killacky to them, who sta
tioned officers to see if anything was taken;
they took nothing, it went up stairs at the
head of the police, w th Mr. Blackburne and
Mr. Baker; no police.liad been up before.
Mr. Baker was here recalled, and said that
lie did not think that- there were any
men up .stairs before he went up.
Sergeant Bandall then continued his state
ment—He went with the officers to the front
of the seepnd story; there had been goods on
the window-sills and they had been knocked
down by the streams anil by firemen climbing
into the windows; when we got there Mr.
Blackburne remarked that there had been
pilfering there; we went down stairs; all of the
policemen followed us; when we went up all
of the windows front and back were open; we
went up a second time, and when we got on
the third floor Mi - . Baker said that a box of
sewing silk had been broken up; no police
men.got into the third story previous to our
second visit; when we went up a second time
we met three firemen coming down from the
third story carrying a hose-pipe; they were
equipped^ except coats.
Lieutenant Killacky, of the Fourth District
Police, stated that he placed two men to each
of the two doors on Chestnut street.; liy that
time a ladder had been put up, and two men,
one equipped anil another no.t, attempted to
go up; I got them down and placed men at the
foot of the ladder; I was inside about an hour;
during that time no officers went up-stairs;
I saw only one officer there besides my men;
I saw three men leaning over a box near the
door; it was dark, and 1 could see what they
were doing; I went up to one and put my
hand on him; he started and Raid, "I’ve got
nothing;” 1 told those men that they had bet
ter leave, and they left; when I got there fire
men were going up and down from the second
story.
Policeman John Garroll, ol' the Fourth Dis
trict, who was on the beat on the upper side
of Chestnut street, stated that about a o’clock
in the morning he heard a shot and a rattle
“springpheand-OfficerNoonwentintotherear
allcy, and aruofficer in the third-story asked
who'was there? We replied “officers,” and he
told its to stay there, that there were two ne
groes in the building; he asked us if there were
any goods in the alley, and Officer Noon
picked up the bundle; afterwards Sergeant
David and other officers made a thorough
search of tho building; found nobody; there
were officers down stairs. '' •
Sergeant Frank Fox, of the. Third District,
stated that he was outside during themrogress
of the fire; he let Fire Marshal Blackburn in;
saw no officers go up stairs previous to that;
that is Officer McLaughlin's beat; after twelve
o’clock I posted Officer Stewart on the first
floor, Officer Grace on the second floor, and
Officer McLaughlin on the third floor; when I
was in the second story I saw the goods in
great confusion, and you could see where the
firemen had jumped in the window; I was at
the door when the shot was fired; I ran
up stairs and saw ' McLaughlin; he
said “tliero is two niggers here;;
they have' thrown a pieeo of cloth out of the’
window;” I saw tho cloth hanging to the win
dow-sill; I got a lantorn and examined the
third, fourth and fifth stories, but could find
nobody; there were no ladders up at that time,
