Thomas Panic** Tho subject of enthusiastic eulogy on one 'hand and of energetic übuso on tlio other, Tuouas Paine has been roughly dealt with. .Por while his polemical writings have been al most universally condemned, his political pro ductions have somewhat boon under esti mated. Yet, ho was, undoubtedly, a loading writor in his time, and did good service to the great cause of N ational Independence by bis ppn. The motivo which induced him to write on’the side of struggling liberty in America may bo questioned, but the effect which he produced was great. He seems to have had very little principle; to have bad an eye to Adi payment forhis work, oven while patrioti cally professing tho utmost disinterestedness; to have been actuated by caprice, passion, and personal feeling. But his pamphlet, entitled (1 Common Sense” was as well-timed as it was well-written. It told bold truths at a moment when thoir utterance was needed. It was trenchant in tone and plain in languago, so that the moat unlearned conld understand it. The. writer was petulant, vain, solflsh, and almost Itch from what is called moral principle, but he did that workwell. It has been doubted wheth er ho Was earnest in his advocacy of tho cause which he espoused, but nobody can doubt that ho wroto earnestly, as if ho indeed were fully possessed with the inspiration of truth. Nor can any one fairly say that ho did not desire tho success of tho American cause. 4 More than half a century ago, Thomas Paine died. So much unpopularity remains attached to his name, from his later works against tho Holy Bible, and from tho profliga cy. of bis closing years, that fow have cared dis passionately to discuss his ontiro life—to do justice to his services to this country, ero ho sank into tho discredit which is likely over to be attached to his name. Mr. William A. Stokes, of Grccnsburg, an eminent lawyer and an eloquent orator, ’ has had tho moral courage to “point a moral” from the ex ample of this man, and to apeak openly and ftilrly of him to the inquiring alumni of Frank lin and Marshall Gollcgo, Lancaster. It is neither a partial defence nor a fhll condemna tion of Paine. It Is an exposition— showing for what he merits public acknowledgment, and principally dealing with him outside of his irreligion. Mr. Stokes has executed his diffi cult purpose with tact as well as with ability, and we accept his Address as a contribution to tho Historical nnnals of a great and stirring epoch. We shall follow him closely in what we hero shall write, sometimes using his tp 4wrima verba , feeling that wo could not im prove upon them. Thomas Paine was Bon of a Quaker stay maker, in,the cast of England. Originally ho received only a scanty education, but was a man entitled to fiftast, as he did, that ho had seldom passed five minutes of his life, how ever mreumstanced, in which he did not ac quire some information. He had been to sea in a privateer, had worked at bis father’s busi ness, and had successively been an exciseman, usher at a school, dissenting preacher, grocer, and pamphleteer, befqro ho made the acquaint ance of Dr. Franklin, then colonial agent in London, who advised him to proceed to Ame rica. Ho arrived in Philadelphia in tho win ter of 1774, and was then thirty-seven years old. Ho became editor of tho Pennsylvania Magazine, and, Mr. Stokes adds : • r Ho now bad aoecss to books, and tbo dormant energies of bis mind were aroused. Ho eagerly embroiOd'ttnrcnoso of -the aoloniofl, and WAS #oou to act on important and meritorious part in'the coming qqnthct,” In HU conduct of tho magazine, Paine showed so much ability as to attract tho fa vorable notico of Dr. Rtrsn, aud other literati of tho city. It was thought desirable that a popular work should be writton, fairly and boldly, from the American side of tho quaTrol with England. Paine was encouraged to write, and, in Jauuary, 177 G, published, tho remarkable pamphlet of « Common Sonse.” Mr. Stokes says: “Admirable os was tho‘execution of this work, it was not written spontaneously, but at tlio sug gestion of Df. Hush, who read tho shoots as they were composed, as did also Dr. Franklin imd Samuel Adams. Tho former struck from tho manuscript what scorns a telling sentenco, ‘A greater absurdity cannot be conceived of, than ihrco millions of people running to their sea coast, overy limo a shin arrives from London, to know what portion of liberty they should enjoy.' When tho manuscript was ready for tho press, Paino pro posed to call it 'Plain Truth,' but Dr. Hush ob jected, and gavo it tho titlo of 'Common Sense.' Manyyoars afterwards, Genoral Washington ap plied the titlo of tho book to its author, and spoke of tho merits and services of 1 Common Sense' as unrewarded by this country. “ Certain It is that an instant and irnmonso im petus was given to the cause of independence by the then unknown pamphlctoor. Tho dosiro of tho people for the immemorial liberties of their an oestors gave placo to a determination to free them selves forever from foreign domination, and sub mission to a King was oxohnnged for resolution to establish a Ropublio.” The pamphlet had vast circulation and wide influence, for it said what the masses thought . Its character is thus concisely given by Mr. Stokes : “ Whon ‘ Common Sense' was published a great blow was struok. It was felt from Now England to tho Carolines, it resounded throughout tho world < Principles of politics wore proclaimed, not new, but true; sanctioned by antiquity, familiar to tho learn ed, but hitherto concealed in books unknown to tho public*, principles which found instaut recognition in tho natural sonso of justioo which God implants in Ml ills ore&luros; arguments wore adducejl wbioh wont right homo to the understanding, and found thore immediate rooeution. Common sense —tho best kind of sense, without which knowledge is vain—oagerly embraced and appropriated the dogmas and conclusions of this mastor-pieco of popular reasoning, which rather aroused what al ready lay deep down in the hidden recesses of tho human mind, than communicated any strange sen timents. Tho boldness, vigor, dirootnees, the very rudeness, tho raoy roughness of tho author, gavo irrcsifitiblo force to his matchless appeal. Nor did ho hesitate to avail himself of all rhotorical ad junct!. He not only reasonod hut ho flattered; ho availed himself of prejudice, ho doalt freely in in vective. For this Ido not censure him, for tho Tribune of tho people, whose words were intended to dismember an empire, might well resort to ail Mils of art in accomplishing his stupendous task ” ~ Ho also truly says, “ Tho approaching dis enthralraent of America, felt in tho bosoms of tho yoomon of Massachusetts, had been pre dicted by tho orators of Virginia Tho rays of tho sun of independence wero already gild ing tho horizon with promise oi a glorious fu ture. Tho coming brightness of tho perfect day of freedom was revealed to tho common sense of the people, boforo it was announced in tho Common Sense of Paine. If tho latter originated nothing, it disseminated tho truth of politics and precipitated tho inevitable mo ment of National maturity. With all its merit tCommon Sense * has proved ephemeral. It j|ias died the death of a pamphlet, Harring ton, Syi>nbv> and Locke still authoritatively define tho ftinctions of tho State and tho duty of tho citizen, but who reads Paine ? Truo it is that tho subsequent baso prostitution of his powers has tended to diminish tho influ ence of his earlier productions, but this alono will not account for their neglect. We all read BoLiNGnuoicE, Hi me still touches us his tory, Voltaire delights us with poetry, Gib bon's gorgeous pictures fascinate us, and many illustrious infidels live in their works, for tho instruction of mankind on subjects not involv ing theological error. A man was needed for tho crisis of tho Kovolution. Paink appeared did his work, and is fast descending to ob livion, without hopo of rescuo, unless by im mortality of infamy.” Seldom, however, has any pamphleteer been ao immediately or abundantly rewarded. Mr. Stokes tolls us— “ His was not tho fato of many benofnotojs of our race, whoso only earthly reward is the homage of after ages. Immediately this obscure son of a mechanic, this discarded English oxolso oflicor, needy adventurer of tainted morals nud disrepu table history, earning a scanty livelihood ns jour neyman-editor of a provtnoiat periodical, became the wonder, admiration and hopo of millions. Tho first glow of gratitudo encircled his name with ra diance beforo which tho elory of earlier and purer patriots bccamo dim. Ho was at onco a favorite of the leading soldlors and statesmen of that ovontful poriod. Attnohed to tho army, ho was ♦ho frequent guest and habitual associate of Wash ington and his oflicors. Pennsylvania gavo him ‘Thomas Paine. An Address, by William A. Stokes. Pehvored before the Gathenn and Diagnothian Socie ties of Franklin and Marshall College, Lancaster, Fa.i July 8d» IS6G. Lancasters Feanol A Grist. five hundred pounds, an unexampled prioe for forty printoJ pages, ad<l munificent compensation com pared with that of Samuel Johnson, for ( Taxation no Tyranny,’ and similar productions, on the other side of the question.” Nor was this all. In 1777, Paine was ap pointed by Congress Secretary to the coramit teo for foreign affairs, but “ in less than two years, and pending proceedings against him for false publications and violations of his trust and oath, ho resigned office to escape a disgraceful dismissal.” Subsequently he was Clerk to the General Assembly of Pennsylva nia. In 1785, Congress voted him an appro priation of $B,OOO. Finally, New York granted him a farm at New Rochelle, which ho valued at $3O/)00. Ho held no idle pen, it must bo admitted, after the publication of Common Sense. Du ring tho six months which elapsed between tho publication of Common Sense and the Decla ration of Independence, he wrote several es says in the Philadelphia newspapers, over tho signature of “Tho Forester,”in defence of tho doctrines of his pamphlet. They are not equal to his oiher productions, and are known only to those who are curious in such matters. Further, as Mr. Stokeh informs us: “In Decembor, 1770, after the defeat on Long Island and tho loss of Fort Washington and Fort Leo, when tho first burst of patriotism was followed by universal dospondenoy, and the cause of the country seemed lost at the commencement of the struggle, Paine published the first number .of f Tho Crisis,’ which aroused, ns by magic, the droop ing ardor of the people. Even now, transported by imagination to that time of rfooro, amidst the dark ness of tho tempest in whion (he frail bark of State seeroed about to be engalphed, with all the hopes of humanity, our blood warms as we hoar the in spiring language: ‘These are the times that try men’s souls. Tno summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of his aountry; but he that stands it now deserves tho lovo and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict the more glorious the triumph.’ This soul-stirring appeal was read at tho head of every regiment, ana inspired n martial ardor which both animated and filled tho ranks of the army. Published every whore, it every wboro infused fresh vigor into the counsels and renewed resolution into tho masses. The battlo of Tronton was tho first fruit of this re animated enthusiasm, and the first assurance of confidence in the armed oitlzons of tho Republic.” After tho affair at Trenton, appeared the second number of “ The Crisis.” Eighteen numbers were published in all, but “ none of them aro equal.to the first; many are feeble in argument, naked of facts, and full of such senseless invective as evince personal malig nity, and thus becomo ineffective. Still, with ail thoso defects, there are touches of nature which roach tho heart, and a courageous logic well adapted to captivate tho popular under standing. Undoubtedly they aided tho cause of the country, and probably to a greater ex tent than would bo now supposed from read ing them. Their, very coarseness gave them strength; they aroused a patriotic rage, and, aided by tho reputation of their author, circu lated in homely recesses which more elabo rate productions were not likely to reaph. Even this glowing patriotism was made to order, and purchased like any other market able commodity. Paine paused, after some numbers of The Crisis had been published, and thoir value was perceived, until Robe&t Moanis induced him to proceed by promise of a stipulated sum of money, as compensation forhis services.” Tho more substantial products of his author ship (from Congress and New York) wore given to Paine after tho conclusion of tho War, and Mr. Stokes says: “ Paine was now, by tho product of his patriot ism, a landed proprietor with full pocket*. His servioos were amply recognised, his talent* were universally admitted. But for the taint of corrupt morality, the crossness of his manners and greodi* peas for gain, no might now—the Revolution ac complished, and the prosperity of the Republic as sured—have entered upon a distinguished and ho norable oareer, and given to posterity another glo rious namo for tho catalogue of the founders of American institutions. He was reserved to teaob aopthor lesion—that God'* vongeance Is not always delayed for eternity, hut that, even in tiua'sMirld,-' blasphemous deflaooo of the Dtvino authority car ries the swift justice of a present onrse.” Played out here, and awakening disgust by his morals and manners, where he had once obtained reputation by his boldness and talent, Paine retnrned to Europe in 1787, with the double intent of overturning the British Go vernment and making money by an iron bridge which ho had invented. First, he visited Paris, where tho Revolution was seething in the cauldron of Public Discontent. Thence to England, where his bridge project failed from waul of funds, and he was imprisoned for dobi, and-released by American kindness. Ho returned to Paris for a short time soon after tiie breaking ont of the Revolution, but speed ing back to England, found general admiration of Mr. Burke’s “Reflections on tho French Reaohition/’ a work which he immediately answered, as did Mackintosh. Paine’s “Rights of Man,” dedicated to Washington, was published in March, 1791. The second part, completing tho work, appear ed in February, 1792, and a million and a half of copies are said to have been circulated in England. Mr. Stokes thus characterizes this production: “ Ho examines very fairly tho natural condition of man nnd the objects of political organization, asserts tho innlienablo right of absoluto control of government by the governed, denies tho bind ng force of any political compact, develops the sound idoA that tho will of the cltizon is always hu jremc, and his interest tho solo legitimate object of ;ho Stnto; attacks monarchy, hereditary legisla tors, tho sottlovmnt of tbo Revolution of 1653 and tho British Constitution; defends all tho proceed ings of tho French leaders; lauds tho American system, villlflos with passionate ardor alt the ex isting institutions of England. Mr. Burke is not treated with the excessive rudeness which common ly distinguishes Fnino’s attacks. * # * * # * “ Although much more exten sive and ambitious, it is not in Aliy respect equal to ‘ Common Sense,' or the host numbers of * The Crisis' and abounds iu gross historical blundors. Still it is very striking, plain, plausi ble, mostly true in its enunciation of abstraot po sitions, erroneous often in their application, aud weakened by tho bitter spirit which porvades every pago. It seems ■ rather the revengeful diatribe of a aisoharged excise officer, than the calm discus sion of a politio&l philosopher." Tito British Government issued a procla mation denouncing such works as this as “ wicked and seditious,” and prosecuted Paine. Pending tho prosecution Paine fled to Franco, hut tho trial went on, and ended in his conviction and outlawry. In Paris, where a translation of “ The Rights of Man” had become very popular, Paine took his scat as a member of tbo National Convention, to which he had been elected in December, 1791. He voted for tho war with England, nnd against the execution of Louis XVI. For this last vofce ho was committed to prison, by tho Conveution, in 1794, and nar rowly escaped tho guillotine during tho dicta torship of Robespierre. When liberated, in the autumn of 1794, he resumed his seat in tho Convention, retaining it until that body was dissolved. He continued in Paris for some years, sinking deeper and deeper in debauchery and excess, and returned to Ameri ca in October, 1802. In March 1794, while Paine was imprison ed at Paris, appeared tho first part of his “Ago of Reason,” an audacious nnd ribald attack upon tho Holy Bible and Revealed Religion. Mr. Stokes thus strikingly analyzes this pro duction: “His most celebrated attack on religion Is tho 'Age of Reason,' h reproduction, in a now and most effootivo and popular form, of the oft-refhted assaults on Christianity, basod on an assumption of tbe powor of finite man to judge of the justice of the Infinite; and assumes tho universality of human knowledge aud tho infallibility of human judgment. Tho entire argument is vicious, be cause It rests on thc&o falso assumptions; it sub jects Roligion, which if of God, must be above man, to puroly intellectual tests; it ignores tho his torical, presumptive and internal evidence, which in regard to a profane narrative would be indis putou. It is ooarso and strong, brutal and inde cent ; arraigns the Almighty, as known by revela tion, for cruelty and tyranny; disoardsthe argu ment deduced from fulfilment of prophecy, from tho extraordinary propagation of Christianity, from Us morality, its self abnegation, Us chari ty, its countloss blessings to tbo human race, its redemption of nations from tho bondage of suporstltion and idolatry; treats the miracles as false, and the Apostles as Impostors; ridicules all Biblical history from Paradise to Calvary. Xeno phon, Socrates, Plato, Cicero, all tho wisest and most virtuous philosophers of antiquity, had felt the need of religious light, of a Divine revelation ; but Paine hold that the light of Nature was suffi cient for morals; ho rojeoted faith and shut his eyes to tho blaring glory of the sun of righteous ness, aud its fruits, in tho order, security, and morality of Christian civilization, as compared with tho dark developments of heathenism, and the diaoord of infidelity. “ Its poison is in its stylo, easily comprehended by the unlearned; He antidote is In its blasphemy, so profligate ns to shook oven unbelievers.” Tho second part of “ The Age of Reason ” nppenrod in December, 1795. It was said that TWO CENTS. he had written, it in the prison of the ■Luxem bourg at Paris, In a letter to Samuel Adahb, ho says, « Expecting to die every hour, I had no time to lose, and determined to publish my work. I saw the French people debased in atheism, and resolved to establish (hem in that pet article of all faiths—tho belief of a God.” But he bitterly assailed and slandered the God of tho Bible. Among other of Paine's writings, at Paris, which wore chiefly political and financial, -was a *< Letter to Giohoe Washington,” in ■ which he attacked the newly-formed American Constitution, and'abused Washington. Returning to the United states, in 1802, invited by President Jefbbebon, who was soon disgusted with his habits/ manners, and morals, Paine endeavored to resume his po litical position hero, and failed. Finally, ho retired to his farm at La Rochelle, where ho died on the Bth of June, 1809—calling, in bis agony of pain, upon the God whom he had In sulted, tho Christ whom he had denied. The summing up, by -Mr. Stokes, is at once so vivid and faithful that we subjoin it: ‘‘Tho narrative of his life is the development of his character, and few biographies-are-more in structive than Paine’s. He was endowed with genius, lived in a momentous era, associated with the .leading-spirits of the age, was concerned in organizing a new nation. As a writer he was always strong, and often eloquent’; especially he excelled in statement and invective; as a logician ho was plain and striking; he knew the human heart, but appreciated the understanding better, though ho has shown that ho oould arouse tho passions when he pleased. Hiq style was so bold, brave, and animated,.that he could always arrest the popular attention; his air of confidence gave him the confidence of his readers, whom hedld not hesitate to flatter by appeals to their know ledge and reason. Twice in serious crises of the Revolution, he rendered important service to the cause of liberty and man, by startling, as with thunder, tho unthinking to reflection, the irresolute to determination,'and the supine to action. Suc cess always followed the efforts of bis earlier life in America; agratefol people crowned him with honor; the world was ready to hail him as the champion of Right; fortupe.smiled, and he might have basked in the sunshine of prosperity, thrilled the earth with the echoes of his fame,'and left for posterity a name glorious among the most illustri ous of those who have proclaimed, with the trum pet-tongued power of truth, the heaven'born maxim of man’s equality to man. “ But neither the splendor of his natural genius nor the adventitious aid of circumstances were able to rescue him from the'doom reserved for those conspicuous characters who are selected by Provi dence to prove that the ( way of the transgressor Is hard.’ “The memory which might hare been so bright and glorious shines only *lth the lurid-glare of hell. He was shameless, presumptuous, passion ate. vindictive,' cowardly, unchaste,' mendacious, avaricious, ungrateful, slanderous, false; cruel, im pious. He has himself written his own epitaph— vi famous; for what infamy ean equal that of him who attomptß to breakdown the carriers of. reli gion, which alone is efficient protection for social order, domestic happiness, confidence among men, security for right; only comfort in affliction, only antidote for evil,- only refnge for sdvertityj chief solAoe in this life, sole-hope in the life to come ? “These are tho dark deeds which have earned for Paine an execrable celebrity; and for those crimes, which reach beyond time Into' the bound less future, Crimes which sacrifice immortal goals, the voioe of ages will repeat the sentence of con demnatibn whioh the avenging angel has already -executed. * > “Toeach of.us this vicious Ufe and dreadful death suggests a lesson for-our individual instruc tion,better taught in meditation than in words; and in opr other character of citizens, it is equally j suggestive, for if our country is to continue her career of prosperity, it must be by the practice of virtue, which is only efficiently sustained by reli. glous faith. . . / “ republic in which each citizen is a Christian hero is spectacle for the admiration of angels, the imitation of men. ■ Such a nation may defy the assaults of time bee&use it is built upon the rock of ages. Such a nation may this become, is the ar dent hope and prayer of every patriot. 1 ’ The length of our extracts will show our ostimate of tho marked ability with which Mr. Stokes has treated the subject. ‘ TV’s cordially recommend his eloquent and Interesting Ad dress to tho public.

So much I deem it proper toeay negatively. “ The time for a full statement of what I know, And of all I know, of this desperate but sublimely disinterested effort to emancipate tho slaves of Maryland and Virginia'from their cruel task-mas ters, has not yet come, and may never come. In the denial which I have now made, my motive is more a respectful consideration for the opinions of the slaves’ friends, than from my fear of being mado an accomplice in the general conspiracy against elavory. lam ever ready to write, speak, publish, organize, combine, and even to conspire against slavery, when there is a reasonable hope for success.” fly?"

Joshua Vansant, was severely beaten. Seve ral others shared the same fate. Mr. Joseph Clark son, machinist, qc Front street, and his two boos, were severely hasten, alter which the three wera arrested ana taken to the Central police station. Before the opening of tho polls the windows in the f olu * w ; Hunt, a * comer of Payette and Exeter streets, were broken, and bricks were thrown into hia house. Several other houses shared the same treatment. In the Sixth ward the Rough, held fun nray. In tho Eighth ward everything progressed quiet ly from the time the polls wer» epceed/A barri cade was erected so that the window could not be crowded and the voting went on rapidly. There were several police officers present, but they left at noon and did not return. The judges provided themselves with the different tiekete to be Toted for, and supplied ail who did not obtain them be fore reaching ibo polls. A large number of per sons who do not live in the ward presented them selves, but their votes were promptly mooted with out creating any disorder. About four o’clock In the afternoon a man named PetUcord, from the th ward, presented himself and demanded the right to vote, which was refused him. He be-, came violent, when some one struck at him, but he way qaiokly surrounded and guarded to a plane of safety. That was the only difficulty during the day, and no personal, injury was - sustained, nor was there at any time aay crowding at the:polls. In the Ninth ward, a German was dreadfully beaten whilst in the hands of an officer. The Re formers were finally driven from the polls. In the Tenth ward, John Hinesly, who was re jected on Tuesday night by the City Council, acted as judge of election. A few minutes after the polls opened an attaek was made on tbe Reformers by the “ Regulators.” Mr. R. B. Fisher, of the firm of J, I. Fisher A Sons, was stuck by awls; and fired a revolver on his assailant, and others defend*! themselves. - A brick narrowly passed the head of 8. Teaekle Wallis, Esq ; a shower of stocee being thrown, and a number of men who rushed out of an -adjacent tavern, commenced an indiscriminate firing with rifles and hone pistols. James Jeffers, son of Madison Jeffers, was wounded by a shot OB the head. Several others were wounded, but (heir names oonld not be ascertained. Mr. T. H. Martin, the Reform judge, objected to alleged unfairness, and was struck by Hinesly and felt impelled to leave his post. A young man named Roberts was knocked down and badly beaten, about 4o r elo»*k; for attempting to vote the Reform ticket Nu merous knack downs occurred during the day. In tho Eleventh ward the Reform era were in full farce? and kept the and free to all legal voters up to 1 o'clock I*. M. Several attempts were made to drive off the'Reformers by the Boughs from-other parts of the town, bnt they were met by manly resistance, and were compelled to retreat. Several prominent merchants and Reformers wera arrested for asserting their rights and defending themselves, taken to the station-house and released on peace securities. When all the other wards were in the hands of the clubs, George M. Gill, Esq., addressed the Reformers, stating that as the contest had been abandoned in all the other wards except the Eighth, it was useless to continue it •there, and advised their withdrawal. This was then quietly done,-Dr. John Hanson Thomas, the Reform judge, withdrawing with them. Several of tbe roydies were arrested daring the day, but immediately released. A man named Nally was stabbed durinw the morning. ' In the Twelfth ward smrffi'pereonawera badly beaten... Mr. Robert B. W&lieiv who had. been to the polls, was shook with Vstbhtfbii Rutaw street, near Baltimore, knocked down and kicked in the face. Two policemen saw the assault and permit ted the ruffians to get off. In the Thirteenth ward no collisions occurred of consequcnco, for the reason that there wt 3 no oppo sition to the Americans. In the Fourteenth ward there was a scene of car nage, which began about half past nine o'clock. At that time there was a rush to the polls, when a man charged James Johnson, alias Sonny White, with stabbing him with an awl, and immediately drew a pistel and shot him. The ball penetrated the oTblt of the left eye and lodged in the skull, a little above and back of the left ear. This was the signal, and some ten or fifteen shots were fired. Mr. Henry Starr received two balls in hi* left leg, one of which passed through the limb, and the oth er wsa embedded about three inches below where the first struck, and which was subsequently taken out by Dr. Baxley. Mr. Stiles, a young man resi ding on South Howard street,-received two balls in the left arm. near the shoulder, one of which crushed the bone and passed entirely through. Tho other ernshed the bone and embedded itself in the I mb. He also received a ball in the right leg, jeat below the knee, which severed a blood vessel of considerable sire, causing a large flow of blood, and infiltrated tho soft tissues of the limb. He was at tended by Dr. Baxlev. and his wounds ere of a dangerous nature. It is thought that he will a: least lose his arm. Michael Duffy, watchman at tho Eutaw House, received two balls in the right leg, below the knee, ne Is not dangerously wounded. At the time tbe fray began it appears that objection was made to the vote of a Reformor, named Niedhammer, which led to the first shot, which took effeet on Johnson. After tbo shooting had ceased, Johnson was re moved to the wjstern police station, when Dr. Baxley was called to him. Dr. B. found him in a comatose sta*e, and after inserting a probe tbreo iuobes into bis ernninrn, pronounced the injury mortal.
