EVENING 13IJLLETIN. ---- Thoorriday, .:unitary .0, 1870. THE STATE THEASERIERSIIIP. . . Governor Geary puts his finger . upon, a sore spa in the bedy-Politic, when he' handles the subject, of the State Treasurership, with .the bold , tetich of uncompromising exposure, as he does in his message to the Legislature. It is onlibecesionally that.official documents pre sent Snell unpleasant subjects in their plain, unvarnished colors, and it is not remarkable. that this part of the message produced sensa tion in the Legislature. When the Governor of Pennsylvania deliberately and officially de clares, in regard to an office whose salary is seventeen hundred dollars, that "there are but few men who have held this office, how ever they may have been when they took elate of it, Who have not become rich," he declares a fact which is not new to a :Jorge • body of • the people, but which .' is full of very unpleasant sukeitions.; "'There is certainly some ad-. vantage," says Governor Geary, "to be . gained by the holding of the position of State • Trea 7 surer;unknovin to the public, but which readily acgounts for the disgraceful scramble, andfor tbepelitical and Moral debauchery which the people of this State seem to be doomedgrinu ally to witness, in the election of that officer; and, because of the disgrace it brings upon their • representatives, the people hang their beads in indignation and shame.". If there is anithing , wanting in' this manly and most timely ex.hibition of this disgraceful matter, it is an open statement to the people of the method by which this " advantage" is at tained, the mode of manipulation by which poor men grow rich on seventeen hundred &l iars a ye,ar.. , Them must be a great prize, indeed, in this office, to warrant the fierce fight °Um:deriding, factioal.Over it, which is annually . witnessed at liarrislinrg. The' office, as we have stated, is not , a remarkably valuable , one, legitimately, and its: dUties are numerous and onerous. But it is palpable to the most remote observer that there, could be no such desperate struggle over any but a bone full of marrow and fatness, a bone worth plotting and intriguing for, a bone Worth . the investing of considerable sums of purchase-money. The matter, is made worse byits annual recurrence. All the other-State officers are elected by the people and for three years, but the Treasurership is for one year and is the gift, of ' the Legislature. The • Legislature would be the better fora its removal. The State . would do better if, besides adopting the Gov ernor's recommendation to pay the Treasurer a liberal salary, the choice were placed with thepeople, and the emoluments of the office rigidly restricted within such moderate bounds as to take from it the excessive attractiveness which now makes it the annual occasion of so much priblic scandal. Governor Geary's manifesto on this subject eomes in just at the nick of time. The elec tion of the State Treasurer is now pending, and the war over the spoils is at its height. The official criticism of the Governor is, there fore, impersonal and impartial, as it could not have been at any other juncture. Moreover, it comes in very neatly to' block a clever little game of that sly creature, Mr. Coffe:-Pot Wallace, and to turn the flank of that other sagacious politician, Mr. Buckalew. These two disinterested repre , sentatives of the Democracy, always on the alert for any opening in the armor of their op ponents, had pounced upon this squabble over the Treasurership as the material for some po litical capital for their party, and promptly rushed forward, all a-glow with, virtuous indig nation, to place the laurel of a popular reform on the wrinkle.d brows of the Denilicracy. Wben, 10, the Republican party-is found before them, in the field; declaring, through its official head, that this abomination must be done away. Gov. Geary undoubtedly carries with him the convictions and sympathies of the great masses of his party in Pennsylvania in thus striking a bold blow at the root of this evil, and the reform" that will certainly. Come from the Legislature will redound to his credit and to that of the great party which he officially represents. UNJUST GENEROS We have heard the opinion expressed in one or two respectable quarters, that the :Metropol itan Police bill ought to be framed so as to give the. Democrats a representation in the Com mission. This is one of those magnanimous suggestions by which the Republican party has often sacrificed justice to generoSity, and we trust that it will not be adopted. All experi ence shows that the Democratic party is ready to accept all concessions, and to grant none; and in the matter of the police of,Phila delphia, especially, there is certainly nothing forthat party to claim at the hands of a Repub lican government. We have heard it suggested, for Instatiee, that the„First. Congressional, Dis trict ought to be represented by a Demo cratic Commis-sioner. But vvhy? It is the misfortune of that District that it is under Democratic domination ; but that does not seem to constitute any very good reason why one-fourth of the police of Philadelphia ehotdd he placed in Democratic hands. Oat of the five Corozressional Districts in this city, four are Republican, but has Mr. Fox left a solitary. Republican patrolman upon his rolls? Not at all. The Democracy is never guilty of any' Such generosity toward its adversaries, and, as between political parties, it sounds a little sentimental,—we use the word with the incleat- respect for the• estimable gentlemen wha r inake the suggestion,--4o offer such a con— ceslion"tq the Democracy, which is not ex pected,'earMot'be claimed, and would not be appreclate4,or reciprocated. On the other .hand, every guard hould be jpiaeo),Aout 'the Metropolitan Police bill to prevent its becoming the nacre =Mile of clique or ring ef• intriguing politicians. That such private combinations are working eagerly to gain the control of the police olPhiladelphia is well known, and' it will rest ith Governe r !Geary, if the power is vested in' him, or with the Legislature, in frsitning'the bill, to thwait these unworthy and selfish`; echetnes. Better far that we shOuld have no • litetropolitan Police, than that we shall, create :it onlY to promote the personal ends of any knot of scheming, ambitious or hungry tricksters, to whom the Republiciin party. is lzothing but a ladder for their own. personal advancement. When the Board of Public Charities was created, tbis'plea . for a Democratic, representa tion in it was :urged upon Governor Geary, , . and 'very properly disregarded; not because there was any political power, advantage or significance connected with it, but becausp there was an' bnndance of the beSt material in the RePublietin party 'from ' which to, construct. a Board, fully competent to the discharge of all its ditties. The Board of PoliCe Conunissioners should consist of the same sort of material, and it then be a permanent success. Indi viduals are already being named as Police'Com missioners, in anticipation of the sPeedy.pas sage:Of the bill ;but we have heard no one named, yet, ,of the stamp and style which ought, to be selected for this important position: Give us a. Board of Conarnissioners,,composed .of Repub lican gentlemen of known :high character and public respectability, whom no one can ...ever suspect of being used as:the tools of any .?Ring,',' men of _business expe.riente ankcap4city;., let the Mayor •of Philadelphia, if it is desired, have an ex-qicip connection with the ,Board, and the Metropolitan Police bill will be a measure of most valuable reform. Let the thing be started in the hands of any knot of uuserupu ions, ,sellish, scheming politicians,—and there are such to be found in all parties,—and it will be a failure and a disgrace. THEE WISSAHICKON. Our city is exceptionally fortunate in having in its neighborhood, so beautiful a stream as, the Wissahickon. To us, who live on a plain it brings within our reach a genuine moun tain brook, with lovely reaches, beautiful turns, and steep, wild, wooded banks.', It is also a piece of rare good fortune that it has become possible to make its charming scenery public property;: and to preSWe it from future destruction, piece-meal, by the caprice or avarice of owners.'Many years ago' it seemed to us that such a thing was most desirable, but impossible. This apparent impossibility has been, however, accom plished by the exertions' and influence of the Park Commission, to whose public spirited labors this generation and all to come will owe a large debt. Entertaining these feelings towards the Com mission, if we permit ourselves to point - out some matters connected with this portion of the Park that seem to demand attention, it seems superfluous to say that , this is done in no spirit of criticism; but that, understand ing the largeness of the work on hand by the Commission, we fully realize bow difficult it is for it to , accomplish' everything that is de sirable. • Within the last few months, that portion of theWissahickon.tbat is nearest to and most ac cessible from the city, has suffered great injury. '1 he space between Ridge road and the first toll-gate is, or rather was, a lovely little valley. A large dam at the Ridge road has raised the water, and filled up part of the valley. A mill race as wide as a 'canal has been built, - and nearly all the trees that shaded the ravine ou the southerly side have been cut down. Just above this, a bold and rugged, mass of rock juts out and narrows the road; . here is placed the first toll-gate. This mass of rock was crowned with beautiful trees, anti made a sort of natural portal or entrance to the second valley on the stream. Some months ago, two thirds of all these beautiful trees were recklessly cut.down, to be used, we believe, for timber. As if this was not enough; on. Wednesday last iillnoSt every remaining tree was removed, and the hill is now almost completely bare., Such wanton destruction as this is of course irremedlable. Pick trees cannot be replaced in less than a generation, and it may be doubted if this part of the stream can ever be restored to the beauty of hist summer. ''Certainly not in less than-thirty. years. ' • Of course all this is in direct violation'of the act of Assembly, which vests property to the city, subject only to the _payment; O it. upon just valuation. There is one and only one way to stop this sort of thing : it is by having it fully understood that such devastation :as h : this will be punished by diminishing the prico paid for - the ground, in proportion to its injury for the purpose for which it is taken.' A score of trees may be worth perhaps ono or two hundred dollars for lumber, and the owner, on removing then► in violation of:the act, evidently hopes tbat he will get the same price for his ground as if he had not so taken them, and thus clear a trifling, profit. lint these trees may have been worth twenty times as much for the adormilent of a'parlt as they were for lnmber. Let it •be then fairly understood that when such valuation is done, - the price hereafter to be paid will be diminished in a rate bearing no sort of relation to' the value of the .plunder,hut based exclusively on the injury'done to the 'Park, and not another stick will be touched. The COmMissioners have ample power to do tbiS. Haying bad some op portunity of observing, we know that there is little disposition to appeal from their decisions. Owners of ground, whose property has been taken, h'ave• generally acqUieiseed' in the valu ations made, but even when dissatisfied they have mostly felt that by going before a jury they might fare worse, besides a certainty of largely increased - expense , for proceedings. Practically,- the...Commissioners..are. completit) Masters of the situation, and if it be , once for all understood that, in a simply peettniary sense, an owner cannot 'possibly injure his own interests more disastrottslir.than by such acts of devastation as those here referred to, there will be an end of them immediately. In this most unfortunate instance, we estimate the damage done to the Park at thousands of dollars, and hope that those persons, whoev,or they may he, who have been guilty, will be made to feel it in the pocket, : the only. place where such persons vim feel. At the same time, we feel that more care ' might be reasonably taken Of this portion, - by far the most beautiful, of the. Park. Whilst many hundred, persons are employed on the portion west of the Schuylkill—the whole WIS . ,' sahickon seems to be in charge of a singleper-, son. How, can one man keep watch from the ' Ridge road to Thorp's lane—six, miles, with woods and sharp ,turns, so that unless every THE DAILY EVENING B LLETIN-PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, JANUARY 6;1870 4444 Walehed, mischief * In' tested?

'Another nuisance needing. attention, is the painting on. the TOcks of advertiseinents of quack nostrums; and patting,up of boards to advertise. hotels, patent bitters,' sewing ma chines, and what not. An act. of Assembly should .be obtained, putting.a heavY penalty on Such shameless . proCeedings, and if the .number Of persons in charge of the property should be increased, as there is• urgent need "that it should he, a.part..of their time shordd be de voted to -eraSing'..the inscriptions with which almoSt 7 every prominent rock on the whole stream is adorned.

It has seemed to us that the opening of the two great roads on the respective hanks of the. Schuylkillvould be more immediately useful to the general public than the work on the heights which the Commission . has com menced. At least, however, we hope that this will soon follow. But most important of all is the protection of those -natural advantages, which we 'already possess, and the effectual stopping of such acts of wanton destruction as those already spoken of, acts which have been done, from time to trine, up till now, and Which may be repeated and extended any day, unless more_effectual means are taken to pre vent them; • THE FIFTEENTH AMENDMENT IN NEW YORK. On the Bth of last December Senator Wil liams introduced to the United States Senate a joint resolution providing that" wheneVer sat isfactory evidence is furnished to the Secretary Of State that three-fourths . ofthe State Legisla tures have ratified any proposed amendment to the Constitution of the United States, he shall foithwith proclaim the fact of such ratification,. and if it shall appear that the Legislature of a State has ratified an amendment proposed, any other action by the Legislature' of that State as to. such amendment shall be void and disre garded by the Secretary of State." This resolution was referred to a committee, and as far as, we can learn no action has yet been taken upon it by the Senate. At the time, Of its introduction we urged the importance of prompt legislation in the matter; and the ne cessity for such action, is, now apparent. On Tuesday • last, immediately after the or ganization of` the New York. State Leg islature, lir. Tweed introduced a resolution rescinding the ratification of the Fifteenth Amendment by that State. As there is. a Democratic majority in the Legislature this re solution was passed promptly by both houses. Whether such back Ward legislation as this will be recogni?ed by the general government re mains to be seen. We incline rather to the theory that safety lies only in adherence to the Principle that the ratification .4 a Constitu tutional Amendment, by one Legislature of a State is finah•and that it removes: the matter entirely from the jurisdiction of the State go-. vernmeht. : If we permit any other deetrine to obtain a foothold, it will be nearly impossible tosecnre the, ratification of any amendment to• the Constitution; for suceeedingLegislatures of opposite political , •Opinions in the different States, will•alw.ays , be•ready to ratify and ' re scind to an indefinite an ridiculous extent, contradicting and etribarrassing the attitude of the State, and,failing altogether to represent the opinions of a majority of the people of the State upon a subject which may not have been made a distinct issue when the legislators were elected. I3ut cven , if this • partisan action of the New York Legislature is repudiated by the Federal government,- there will be, in the 'ab sence of any. definite law upon, the subject, an, immediate conflict between the two authorities —a' conflict, Which might have been prevented if Senator. Williams's • resolution • had received -immediate ‘attention in ACpngress, But that such a thing, may not occur •agaiii, we . hope Congress will . pass the Williathsresoltaion —or some resolution of a similar character— tin Mediately.

The result was brough,t about by the known fact that a Majority of the Republi can mem bers of both Homes had signed a paper en doising Mackey.

[By liassou'm litwa ASency.J Nab Yonx, Jan. 6.-The gunboat Maria left here on Friday,wit.h the United State steamer Miantonornah in company, for Portland. When off Gay Head, on Tuesday,morning, at 3 o'clock, some of the machinery broke on board of the Maria, when she sud denly stopped immediately ahead of the Mitintonomah before the-headway of the latter could be stopped. The result was a col lision between the two vessels. The .!ifaria being cut down to the water's edge, site)saak in fifteen minutes. Four of the crew and a fireman of the Maria were lost. The rest of the officers and crew, including the Lieu tenant-Commander in charge, were rescued by the Miantonomab and returned to this city. The Maria was a propeller steam tug, and, in company with the Miantonoinah, was on the way to join the squadron at Portland forming for the naval reception of the Pea- body remains.

( From The ludepentlont.l Standing on the threshold of the new year, with ten months of the administration of President Grant before the country and the world, it is a fitting time to consider the pre eent condition of aims, and to contrast it with March last, when he took the solemn oath that invested him with the power con ferred on him by the popular vote. Economy.—ln every branch of the public service his orders 'initiated retrenchments, which have been and are being carried out with zeal and fidelity. Useless offices have been discontinued; the clerical force in the departments has been largely decreased ; the army was promptly reduced; very many of the surplus military officerm, resulting from the reorganization of the regiments, have been ordered into service as Indian agents, thus saving :the salaries of an equal number of civilians; and unnecessary appropriations have not been used. Honest Collections.—With taxation dimin ished from, last year, the revenue has steadily inereased, abating the discontent which always, exists when the honest 'taxpayer is compelled to bear his own burden, and the burden that shoider fall on the dishonest tax payer besides. Eings.—With this increased efficiency and vigilance on the part of the revenue ofb.cers, the whisky ring, once so widespreading and powerful, no longer exists in an organized capacity anywhere in our cities or• throughout the land. And the Gold Ring, which caused such Wild excitement a few months ago, felt the power of the President and his Financial Secretary at'a' timeTYmoxiseid ; so that it has not since shown signs of life or action. The Deb t.—Month by month the people have witnessed with intense satisfaction the steady reduction of the Rational debt. The monthly bulletina • of the Treasury Department have been successiv e campaign documents in favor of the Administration ; and when the year ex pires over one-twentieth of the bondeddebt will have been'paid. 09/d.—Steadily, with the single exception already alluded to, the premliim on gold has declined ; not by anextraordluary attempt of the Administrati y, on , -to • tone or to hasten the resumption. of •specie :payments, but by the improved credit of .the, nOqn reacting upon it. Already the very narrow margin between the premium on gold and the selling price of our bopd.s points unmistakably to the nearness of the Mine when the debt - can be funded at a muoli lower rate of interest; enabling the conntiy, in connectiMi with other sayings, to dispense with, scores Of millions of dollars pf taxation. . . • '•-• • Pordons.--Insteful of the dailyrelease 'of con victed offenders against the laws, the extremes of Executive :clemency has been confined within proper and, heaithy restrictions, alike just to the criminal and the Country he has moron eel. • Ptt Ojicers:Whatever discontents there may have been as to this , or that appeintment, no fair man can deny that, as a whole, the nam tion bag never lifefany better array of officers. If tin Rxesident could possibly have been guided by unerring inspiration, all would not have been satisfied with his choice • 'for , even " MEE Irwtu. if a dozen applicants svnre thorough*, but one'eonidbeselectediand eleyenvith all their frien.dkdittsntintled A .p. nd; pa there is no corig,r 4 essmap who .trilldeny.that he' has sonietiMeWttado infstakesiAffelecticals in, his own district; whet° 'he khoWs.'..pereensiliy so , marry, of his constituents, how could any Fre-, sidisnt be infallible ;when he Intuit depend' for knowledge As to,ia ;very large proportion of ap r plie,ants on the recommendations of others? • Reconstruction.,--Bytheprompt and judicious' ' action tifthePlesiderit;'under the large' au thority giVen to him feat Apriiiin the' closing hours of the first sesSion• the XLISt Con gress, the Work, of reconstruction draws rap- , idly. to its close,and , before the resurrection of.

And, before its for mal adoption, the 'President has illustrated his itsjnAtiee by appointing to office . , of • both higher and lower' d'egree,. 'many whose, rare. and color' :irrespective .of their Intellec tual quilificatfons,had pre : Viowily placed them' under the ban of official ostracism. The fol lowing. terse: and emphatic remark of the ' I'rcsident to Attorney-tieneral Hoar, and quoted by the latter at the recent New ;Ellg- - land dinner in, New Yoils., is worthy to be.. printed in letters of gold : , • • - • • • " I hope to ile'e the time when everyman, in• the couctry-niay have power to express his own opinion, to follow whom he , ipleases, to vote as he likes, and have his vote counted, without molestation,' or hindrance, or insult. If' we. can only unite in maintaining 'public. faith and credit, our political differences will nut be of much account" • . • -.•• The dlakenia Claims.—The brief but pointed allusions in the Presidents annual message to " the only grave question Which the United States have with any foreignnation " must be fresh in the memory of all. And also his em phatic sentence: "A sensitive people; 'conscious Of their • power, are more at case under-a . great wrong' wholly unatoned, than under the restraint of a settlement which satisfies neither their ideas of justice nor their grave sense;nf the grievance." If anY amplifiCation of the ground on which , the nation stands on this question was needed, the masterly and unanswerable argyinent of , Secretary Irish, recently published, investing as it does with new interest a theme so elabo rately argued heretofore, shows how faith fully the Administration is vindicating "the rights, dignity, and honor," of the United States. , Cuini.—The President's sympathies with "all people struggling for -liberty and .self government" are frankly 'Mated in his mes sage. But, while thus openly expressing them, he as frankly "declares that, "no matter. how unpleasant the tank,'' he has endeavored to execute our neutrality laws in good faith. On the main subject he this spoke : " The peopleand Government of the United States entertain the same warm feelings and sympathies for the people of Cuba in their pendingstrUggle that they manifested through , out the previous struggle between Spain and the former colonies in behalf of the latter.;_ but the contest at no time assumed the conditions which amount to a war in . the sense of inter national law, or which would show the exis tence of a de facto politieal organization Of the insurgents sufficient to justify a recognition of belligerency." And he adds: "Our course should always be in conformity with strict justice and law, international and local," which none of those criticising him can deny. The President be lieves, an his whole message proves, in the. Golden Rule for nations as well as individuals. Whatever our sympathies may be, he holds that we should act towards others exactly as we would have had others act toward us dur ing our recent struggle for national existence, or as we would have them act hereafter if un _happily another dark cloud of civil war should ever overshadow our land. But while thus performing " the unpleasant • task," he submits the whole matter to Con gress. which, representing the people, and fresh from their midst, is certainly a proper arbiter on a 'question that might eventuate in war with a foreign power and its possible allies, and the increased debt and taxes, diminished commerce, and renewed bloodshed that might result, if recognition was not justified by the international law, whole infraction by others in our own case we have so publicly and emphatically condemned at the bar of the ' civilized world. It is a re marlmble coincidence that, - while the Presi dent was writing this message, Cespedes, the President of what J hope is yet to be Free Cuba, on the aith of November, wrote in his proclamation as follows : "Perhaps it is just that the Administration of the Washington Government should de lay reeognizing us until Congre:;s shall have met." ' This brief and dispasAonate retrospect might be extended ; but enough has been writ ten to prove that the Administration fully de serves the popular confidence it has won.

An Extraordinary Story—Startling lin. morn ream spoon... Negotiations for the Parehase of enba—Prini and Serrano Favorable to the ProJect.-Spanish Poll. ties—A Coup D'Etat in Prospect. The Washington correspondent of the Her ald has the following story, which our readers can believe or, not, as they please.: • A letter recently received in this city from Madrid affords some important information. The writer states, among other things, that our Minister in Madrid has sounded both Ser rano and Prim as to their willingness to sell Cuba to the United States, and that he has the highest assurances that both these proininent statesmen are favorable to the project and are only ,svaiting a favorable opportunity to consummate it. Their objection to it at present is that • the people are not in the mood to sanction such a grave step,and that the Ministry in its present precarious po sition would run too much of a risk by setting itself in•an attitude of antogenism to the mass of the people on any, great question of policy. Serrano and Prim have settled the unpleas antness occasioned by the - intrigues for the elevation of the Duke of Genoa to the Span ish throne, and havecorne to 'an understand ing whereby it is arranged that Serrano shall be invested, with regal' powers for a term of years, still under the title of Regent of Spain. Should Serrano fail in carrying out this plan the writer explains that the next m ove will be a coup d'etat on the part of Prim himself, who ; will place himself at the head of the "com monwealth" and , attempt the role of Protec tor, ala Cromwell. On the other hand, the writer states that there is a growing discon tent in Spain at the delay of the Cortes to choose a sovereign The people are begin ning to think that the Cones is unwilling to surrender the absolute power which it seized with the purpose of ridding itself of a despotic rule.; and the writer adds :—"lt is not at all improbable that the Cortes will be dissolved at an early day. The Spanish government hesitates and is endeavoring to get a consider able loan, which 'should be resisted by our government" I have reason to know that our government sas advised of that fact sometime ago, and caused a representation to be made to the Spanish government that the United States would only treat on the subject of a purchase of Cuba for a fair consideration. If our gov ernment is anxious to get Cuba by purchase. it is evident that the financial embarrassment of Spain will greatly facilitate the negotiations; and hence it becomes our interest to use mea sures to prevent any European capitalists or others from furnishing "Don Quixote" with the needful. TRAGEDY IN NEW YORK. Murder of "James Logan No. The Tribuue says : Shortly after 2 A. M. yesterday, James Lo gan, a well-known rough character, who was rendered famous about a year ago by being ' arrested on suspicion of having murdered Charles Rogers in front of his residence in Twelfth street, near Broadway, entered the basement coffee and cake saloon, No. 25 West Houston street, in company with a girl named Carrie Smith, with whom he . has been living for some time, at No. 16 East Houston street. While, seated at a table in . the saloon a notorious hard character, named Jerry , Dalin, in company with two Companions, all under the influence of. liquor, entered the saloon. Dunn at once commenced apply ing opprobrious epithets to the wopian,. to which she and her companion. mad no re sponse for a time. Finally. however, Logan returned the, epithet so freely bandied by Dunn. Soon after Logan and the girl left the saloon. He accompanied her a short;?distance, and then turned back to the saloon. , front of the entrance he met Dunn and his com panions, and declared with an oath that he could whip the entire party. Beforehe could attempt to carry. 'his thr.at into • • execu tion, Dunn drew a pistol and shot Logan in the . left , breast, causing a serious wound. Officer Crittenden came up and seized Dunn, but on being told that another man had shot Logan, released his prisoner, and Dunn darted off. A pistol and slung-shot were found on the pavement. Logan was taken to „Bellevue Hospital. House Surgeon McLean examined him, and pronininced him dangerously wounded. Later in the day Coroner Flynn attended and took the ante-mortem statement of Logan. He does not believe he is About to die, and this may account for the statement, made by him, so utterly at variance with the facts. The following is his statement: "This morning, about 12.15 'o'clock, I went into Gillott Thonapson's restaurant, No. 25 West Houston street, to have something to 'eat; I sat down at the same table at which a young woman was already sitting; some time after I entered the place the girl left, and I shortly after left, but not to follow the girl; I • noticed also in the saloon while I was there three inen,but am unable to say whether there were any others there or not; while in the saloon, or- at-any time -afterward,.. I. did - not speak or have any words whatever with those men ; after leaving the saloon I stood a little: while in front of the door ou the sidewalk,and then returned back .into the saloon again, where I obtained a cigar, which I lit; I then went out on the sidewalk a second time, and 'stood for a very short time close beside the steps leading into the "House of Comnaons." In a few minutes after the . three men pre- • viously referred to came out,the'Matl who - Wa9 first striking against.me very roughly. I said ,•nothing whatever, and without any provoca tion on. my part another one of them turned suddenly - upon me ' and pOiatinra' pistol J which he ;held in his; hand - directly at my breast,. tired.' I instantly lost all eonstdous 7 mess, andlitieW'rin more of what to me until I found myself 'lying in this bed.' .I had DO words' whatever with the young we-` inan'who sat at the same' table with 'me, and did even know her, Neither did we tiara qop-, per together. .did ;lot threaten any persaa nip out of it, Ay eiid : u have, a . slung shat in. tap posqession that evening, an oiherevera'ag•"' Lo gan waa,arreatCavn charge of inaarderiag .uogers.,•,aa Twelfth street,, a year ago, but .1 'man discharged Per' tvant Of evidence. : . mxl/ 4m 6D e,'0 4 ,100k- Delaycd Despatches. tliß4. *0:00 , 1 11 .ff-EDITION tort 'I4EY-A4.94-011.
