The war through which we have passed, and front which, under the Providence of God and the in atrumentality of brave men, we have safe ly emerged, has been followed by a fear ful spirit of demoralization manifesting itself here, as well as in other parts of the .country, in continued acts of violence and wrong doing—our newspapers are tilled with recitals of brutal crimes and all grades of wickedness—and so necessary has it become to cheek this evil drift, that MS Honor Judge Ludlow, at the opening of the present term of the Court of Quarter Sessions, made it a sub ject of special charge to the Grand Jury, and of exhortation to those whose duty it is to see to the peace of the city and the protection of its inhabitants, to exercise the greatest de gree of activity and vigilance in the suppres sign of crime. There is, said he, upon us a g at City debt, amounting to almost forty millions of dollars, nearly seventy dollars for every man, woman, and child now living in the city of Philadelphia.

THE EIGHTH WanD.—TeSterday afternoon, a desperate riot occurred on Sansom street, below Eleventh. The Ward Convention had assembled in the - ward house, a very popular and well-lmown place of ptiblic resort, at the corner of Eleventh and Sansorn streets. There seemed to be more or less excitement in regard to the position of Assessor. Shortly after three o'clock, a crowd of men from the western Part of the ward, it is said, arrived in front of the house - where the Convention was being held. It Was not long before these parties inaugurated a fight that was exceedingly bloody, though of short duration. The contending parties fought with despera tion, swaying backwards and forwards like a cross-sea of turbulent waves. In that crowd was a neatly dressed young scan who put hors du combat several men, each being inuchlarger than Itimaelf. Parties infuriated with passion and - whisky closed in upon him, when lie bran dished a pretty big knife, the bright blade of which glittering in the sunlight seemed to awe for a moment the desperate nen sur rounding him. In other words, he cut his way out, without injuring any- with his trusty blade. Another man, with his head and face bleeding, sought for a wagon, where he cried for mercy ; but they gave him, in reply, a shower of stone-coal which they had seized at a blacksmith-shop close by. 'While they were engaged in thus distributing the "black . diamonds," an other party of the friends lof the man under the wagon rallied, and drove the assailants, many of them being knocked down. At an other stage of the proceedings, a grand dash was Made into a blacksmith shop, where bars of iron and other heavy, murderous weapons were seized. One man, we understand, picked up a piece of hot iron. He " burnt his fingers." It is needless to say that he dropped it like a. hot potato. A badly beaten man ran into a house in the vicinity. He was pursued by tile demoniae crowd. The resident in the house—a fine, herculean specimen of a German—took a position in the doorway to defend his castle, He Succeeded most effectually. He knocked down several who tried to get in to kill the fugitive. Their cry was, kill him! kill him!! Another one of the rioters, with an uplifted piece of iron, gave chase to another fugitive, and struck him a very heavy blow on the head with the iron, The man was knocked down, and it was feared that his skull was fractured. During the frightful demonstration many black-jacks were used with fearful effect. The blows fell thick and fast on each Other's de voted heads, and the sound of the collisions could be heard at some distance. There was some sprinkling of blood upon the street, and several bloody shirt collars - were left upon the pebble stones as frail mementos of the fearful struggle. The cry of "police! police!" was raised., and this bad the effect to cool the temper of the madmen. lip the time the police officers arrived the rioters bad become quiet. It was reported that three or four men were stabbed. Several pistols were drawn, but no report was heard. The whole neighborhood was thrown into great excitement, and the most exaggerated stories were circulated in regard to the tumult. We learned last evening that two of the men who were stabbed or cut with knives, are named James Moore and James Wilhelm. Both are reported severely injured ; in fact, Nooros wounds dare considered mortal. The man who inflicted the wound is known. RIOTOUS CONVENTION INSIIITUE SEVEN TEENTH WARD.—The Thirteenth Legislative District Convention, in the Seventeenth ward, was marked with proceedings which, for dis grace, Stands unparalleled in the political an nals of that exciteable district. The Convert. tion assembled at Blaster and Ambrica streets, at ten o'clock yesterday morning. There were two candidates for the Legislature, named James Donnelly and James Sherry. Mr. Donnelly has been a member of the As sembly for several terms. At the delegate election on Monday evening, it is reported that he received a majority of the delegates. It was reported that the following vote was cast: Donnelly, 16; Sherry, 8. There was more or less fighting at some of the polls, and one of the Donnelly delegates was shot in the leg- The wound is not very severe. The Convention organized yesterday morn. ing by the election of a Donnelly delegate as president. Soon after this, a row commenced in the Convention; and it .appears from all accounts that although the Sherry delegates were outnumbered two to Otte, yet they were strong in muscle and determination. They speedily entered into a grand row; and pre sently several of the Donnelly delegates were overturned down stairs. Of course, great ex citement prevailed among the outsiders; and for a time, it was feared they might invade the convention-room, and try their muscle on the delegates generally. The prospects of a free light brightened up; but they were soon clouded again by the appearance of a posse of police officers. it being evident that something was going on inside that would jeopardise the chances of Donnelly for the nomination, some of his friends brought the delegate who was shot, as above stated, in the evening previous, but ad mittance through the dooiway was denied him. He was then shoved up to the second story window, and some of the delegates reaching out, hauled him in. In less than a minute after this he was seen tumbling down the stairs, head over heels. The reason as signed for this was that it was against the Dem . ocratic rules to admit a delegate when the ballot was being taken. It was announced that James Sherry hadreceived a majority of the votes cast, and was, therefore, the "regu lar nominee." His certificate of election, or nomination, was signed by the President of the Convention, although he had been elected as a "Donnelly man? , It is said that the Pre sident signed the certificate under threats of personal violence. After the nomination of Mr. James Sherry, the other faction, or party, assembled at another place and nominated MT, James Donnelly. One or two arrests were made on the street, and warrants were issued for the arrest of certain delegates. AccinENTs..—Eugenc Swift, who resides at 1336 Marion street, while engaged in remov ing lumber from the roof of the Citizens' Vol unteer Hospital, yesterday afternoon, fell to the ground and fractured both of his wrists. He was otherwise injured about the head and body, but not seriously. - George Debora, aged twenty-eight years, re siding in the vicinity of Long lane and Buck road, in the Twenty-sixth ward, had his big toe on his right foot severed, yesterday, by the lid of a retort that he was removing at the gas works near Point Breeze. SLIGHT FraE.—Last evening, about ten o'clock, the foundry of Mr. Correll, at German town road and Chatham street r uras discovered to be on fire. The flames were speedily ex tinguished_ DAB/EBO Btruorany.—On Monday eve liing a daring burglary was committed by some person, at present unknown, on, the premises, No, 614 Girard avenue, °coupled by Mr. Bernard Kohler. The thief effected an entrance through the trap-door in the roof, which he reached through the adjoining building, which is used as a hall and for meet ing-rooms. From the roof, he made his way to the second story, Where he opened and ransacked a bureau-drawer, taking therefrom a number of papers, among them two city warrants for four hundred dollars each, and United States Government securities to, the amount of seven hundred dollars. A number of young men, who were in the room at the time, heard a noise as of some one on the building, and immediately removed the step ladder by which the burglar had made his ascent to the roof. After awhile, he returned and attempted to descend, when he was eap. tared. A policeman was immediately sent for, but in the interval, he managed to give his captors the slip. A search was at once in stituted, and the valuables were found in a yard near by, but the thief had escaped. Three new chisels, supposed to have been in his possession, were also found. HORTICULTURAL DispbAY.—Last .eyen ing the Monthly display before the HOrtiCill tural Society was held at their hall, corner of Broad and Walnut streets. The display was an excellent one, and the attendance quite large. There were some fine specimens of squashes, potatoes, and tomatoes, including amongst the latter a variety first exhibited, called the Tilden tomatoe, grown by A. W. Harrison. There were some splendid speci mens of grapes on exhibition, including Ham burg black grapes, all of which were ripened in the open air. There were also specimens of Adirondack grapes, raised in New York, and exhibited for the first time. They are an early variety of grape, very fine and largo. Also, some fine Bartlett and other pears, and some elegant Philadelphia peaches. There were ex. hibited beautiful baskets and bouquets.of cut flowers and some rare East India and South American plants. The award* were for the finest colieCtiOß Of vegetables. - The finest collection of cut flowers. The finest bonquets and hanging baskets HIGH LIFE BELOW STAIRS —GRAND PRESENTATION AT ATLANTIC Crrr.—On Satur• day last, the United States Hotel, at At. Untie City, was the scene of a social gather ing at which there was, perhaps,' as much if not more enjoyment than at many another scene of gayety. The occasion was the pre sentation of a silver goblet to each of the head waiters of the honk', Messrs. Davis and Gray., son. The cups were purchased for the melt sionby the waiters of the house, and were pre. sented as a mark of the esteem in which the knights of the white jacket and necktie are held by their brethren. Mr. James, one of the waiters,. made the presentation Speech. His remarks were terse and to the point, and Were well received. Each of the recipients respond ed in happy phrase. Mr. Z. J. Purnell, the chief barber, was called on, and made a sen sible and effective speech, touching the duties of waiters and the relations in which they stand towards the guests of a house, and their responsibilities in sustaining the good repute tion of their employers. He was frequently interrupted with applause. A short converse zione then ensued, after which the assembly dispersed. TUE. MATOUALTY.—His Honor, Mayor Henry, yeaterdayperemptorily deelinedbeing a candidate for renomination for the Mayoral. ty. Business of a private nature has induced him to come to this conclusion. His renomi nation was almost reduced to a certainty, and his selection would have been triumphantly ratified by the people. There never was such an extremely popular Mayor of this city. Of course, his declination has opened the ques tion again, - and the people are in the open sea Of polities in search of a candidate for the im portant position. In our inquiries yesterday, we beard the following names mentioned as candidates: General Joshua T. Owen, Robert P. King, Morton McMichael, James Lynd, John Q. Glnnodo, A. J.

It is relieved by the 7th Regiment United States Veteran Va. lunteers, commanded by Col. P. P. Brown, who relieves Cot H. A. Frink, of the 186th, from duty as military, provost marshal of the city. BASE BALI,-TSB BIG THURSDAY IN CAurfax.--To-morrow, according to arrange ment, the "great game" will come off be tween the Athletic and the Camden Base Ball Clubs, on the grounds of the lattec, near Dia mond Cottage. On account of reeently-inereased rivalry be. tween these two well-known clubs, this game promises to be one of great interest to those interested in base-ball matters. The recent defeat of the Athletics by the Ac tives of New York, and the subsequent defeat of the Actives by the Camdens, led to the chal lenge of the latter by the Athletics; hence the match. - We learn that the "Jersey boys" have made ample arrangements for accommodating a large portion of the visitors with seats.

A FRENCHMAN'S HOLlDAY.—Yesterday being the birthday of the Great Napoleon, all true Frenchmen were alive to the occasion, and celebrated it in a becoming manner.

Alderman.Beitler•] OUTEACiB AND INDEC,ENT ASSATILT Henry Jones was arraigned yesterday after noon at the central station on the charge of indecent assault upon a little girl between thirteen and fourteen years old. The particu lars of this ease, respectfully told, are as fol lows: The - party being arraigned, the Alder man asked the prisoner his name? Answer. My_ riame - is Ifeury Jones, Question. Where do you live A. Montgomery county. Q. What as your business ? A. I am a farmer, Q. Are you a married man? A. Yes, sir. Q. Where do your wife and family reside A. illDlOntiCiteerY county. - Q. What part of Montgomery county!' A. Marlboro township. The little girl, neatly dressed, and perfectly artless, gave in her evidence. She says that her father lives on Lombard street, above Eleventh ; her mother is in Illinois ; as she was walking along, at the street corner she saw this man sitting on a step ; he asked her name, and he said he was a relation; he then asked her to take some ice cream, and she, childlike, I went with him and got the ice cream ; and then he took her to a house in a little street and the woman turned him away; then he came down the streetaud bought some peaches for her, and then came down to the State Douse and went into the steeple, but she did not want to go there, for she had been there once with her father. When in the steeple lie commenced to take indelicate liberties, but about the same time he was arrested by Officer Crout. It seems that the woman who keeps the house to which the little child refers as having been taken tp, is Madam Dubois. After she had driven him away she Sent two of her boarders to follow him, and have him ar rested. These two women testified that be tween four and five o'clock the man came to the house 208 Duponceau .street (Blackberry alley,) in company with the little girl; he at tempted to go into the front room, used as a bed-room, but the Madam ordered him away; the witnesses followed hini, by direction of the 'Madam, and when lie reached the State House witnesses went to Officer Crout, of the Reserves, and told him what was the matter. The officer arrested him. Fire Marshal Blackburn testified that he had a conversation with the prisoner, who told contradictory . stories as to his knowledge of the house he had taken the child to. The prisoner had little or nothing to say ; ha attempted to assume an air of injured limo cence—that he meant no harm, &c. He had been at that house before, but nearly a year since. The Alderman asked the prisoner if he had any eXplanations to make. lie replied rather vaguely. Ile said that he had merely gone to that house in search of a girl WhO use to live at Bristol; the woman drove him away." "There, that is enough," interrupted the magistra{e; "it is a great pity that that wo man hadn't a club, to have clubbed your head from your shoulders. It is a pity there is not some strong man to lash such beings as you through the world ; there ought to be a whip ping-post for such men as you; you—a father of little children, enticing a little artless little child like this away from its home, for base purposes! Why, the very woman who turned you away from that house is a queen of morality; she is an angel of Christianity, compared with such a mean black-hearted, depraved being, as you are. lceu are revised r-RESS. - PWADELP MEDNESDAY, AUGUST 16, 1865: to enter bail in the aum of $2,000, to answer at eourt.'!. . . .

Some time on Saturday night, the military furnishing store of Evans & Hassan, on Arch street, below Fifth, was entered and robbed of a large amount of goods. The attention of the detectives was at once called to the matter. Two or three persons, who had been seen loitering about one of hotels, apparently without any purpose, were suspected, and a "shadow" was detailed to watch their move ments. He ingratiated himself with the par ties, and soon discoveredthat they were of a class entirely familiar with the slang used by thieves. Finally one of the suspected parties invited the "shadow" into his room. There he discovered a number of burglars , tools. He then invited his qnandom friend, out for a walk, and seizing a favorable oppbrtunity„ he delivered him into the custody of the law. Then he returned to the hotel, and in the same way captured the other thieves. The goods, with the exception of a sword, were dis covered at the house of a prostitute, in Ninth street above Callowhill, where they had been deposited for safe-keeping until the. storm should blow over. The sword, a magnificent article, and worth nearly 4%500, which had been exhibited at the Sanitary Fair, and the grip of which was elaborately set with dia monds, was found buried in the grave-yard close to the spot where the mortal remains of the illustrious Franklin rest. It was not found among the property recovered on Ninth street, and a search was instituted. In the burying. ground it was noticed that the earth had been recently disturbed, and, on digging, the miss ing weapon was found. Supreme Court—Before Woodward, C. J., and Justices Thompson, Read, and Agnew. CASE or WILLIAM HOPKINS. The case of William Hopkins, under sent encmf death for the murder of Afidrew Mc- Jilarity came up yesterday before the Supreme Court for review on writ of error. The lint assignment of error is that the court below erred in admitting evidence to show " that fifteen minutes before the killing of Andrew Mclliarity, the prisoner threatened he - would kill somebody on board the vessel before twenty-four hours, and that he, the defendant, was malignant in his conduct and character at the time)) This item of evidence was objected to by de fendant's counsel, "because the said threats were general and vague, and did not refer to the deceased, and were not res gesta or perti nent to the issue." The objection was over ruled. There was a second technical assignment or specification of error in this, that "It does not appear that the finding of the Grand Jury was ever recorded by the clerk, nor does the re cord show that the Grand Jury returned the record into court' , The matter was this morning argued by David Paul Brown and John A. Owens for the prisoner, and by the District Attorney for the Commonwealth, and was held under advise ment by the court, a decision from wiLoin will, perhaps, not be had until October, at Pitts burg. .

In fact, the witness said he became drunk—so drunk that he entrusted himself confidingly to the care of Metzger, who responded - by stealing his money. Hok, though drunk, de tected Metzger in the act and, seizing hold of him, called lustily for the polio% Wetzgltr then told Hok that if he would be quiet, his money should be returned.

HIGHWAY-ROFIBERT Richard Ditle alias Thornton, and John Car sey were charged with highway robbery. The complainant, Justice K. Dull a resident of West Philadelphia, testified that he had reached the vicinity of Lancaster pike and Fortieth street on his way home, whist Wed nesday night at about eleven o'clock; he saw a party of five men, one a little in advance of the others. Upon approaching them this fore most man whom he positively identified as Ditle, sprang upon him, threw ins arms around his neck, and tnrottled him until he fell to the ground, The whole party then joined in the attack, beating .him with ebillys," &c., and ended by stealing his watch and chain, worth $125, and his money. Mr. Dull said that lie groaned and struggled considerably, and that his assailants told him that if he did not keep quiet they would kill him. One or them, in fact imggestecl, that he (Dull) should be given* a silencer," The rascals were, however, disturbed by Sergeant Lister, of the West Philadelphia police, who happened to be in the -vicinity, and was attracted by the groans of the victim. He advanced in that direction, and being per ceived by the defendants and their comrades, they ran away, pursued by the officer. After a sharp chase, he captured Casey, when he tan into a house in Thirty-ninth street, so much out of breath that he could scarcely speak. Casey admitted to Lister that he was with the robbers, but denied having anything to do with the robbery. Ditle was soon after cap tured, lying among some weeds in a vacant lot not far off, by Officer Dale, Upon his cap ture, he remarked to the 'Meer, that he "would not find any watch upon him." There was no defence, and the jury rendesed a ver dict of guilty. Judge Ludlow immediately imposed sen tence, and, in doing so, referred to the fact that if the defendants had been indicted under the 100th section of the Penal Code, as they might have been, instead Of the 102 d section, he could have sentenced them, and probably would have done so, to an imprisonment of ten years. He felt it hie duty in this and all similar eases, where an attack was made upon it peaceable citizen, at night, by a robber or gang of robbers, to impose the heaviest pun ishment allowed by law. Under the 102 d sec tion of the Penal Code the punishment was limited to five years. The prisoners were sen tenced each to five years imprisonment.
