troduced to the delegates by the Chairman Of
-the Convention.
Mr. Fox said that this was the second time
the Democracy had honored him with the
nomination for the mayoralty, and for this
mark of their preference for him he returned
his heartfelt thanks. 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. Strict economy and
retrenchment were imperatively demanded.
In case of his election, lie promised that no.
thing should be left undone to reform the
evils allfelt so grievously. -
The speech was received with much favor.
Cheers wore given for all the eandidates, and
the Convention adjourned.

DESPERATE RIOT IN . 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

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.

him to come to this conclusion. His renomi

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.

[Before Dlr. 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

Tile prisoner looked very pale ; his facial de
velopments are rather sharp, his hair thin ; he
has a cold, 'grayish OW° eye,and- a sort of
sandy whiskers on his chin. There was no
feeling of respect entertained for him at the
hearing. The little girl was told by the ma
gistrate to go home, and tell her father all
about it. She replied that she would do so,
when he came home from work. Ire is an in
dustrious, respectable mechanic.

Tara' OF THE GOODS.
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.

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.

of a balmoral skirt, and was sentenced to four

ONPRIANS ROBBING A SOLDIER.
Ellen Smith and Ann Dickson, denizens of a
disreputable den in Front steet, were Charged
with the larceny of fifty-eve dollars from
Thomas A. Ramsay,. a discharged soldier. Ham
say, according to his own statement, entered
the house where these defendants lived, and,
having already been drinking freely was in
duced to drink more and more until he be
came stupefied. While in this condition his
money was abstracted from his pocket by
Ellen Smith, whom he saw placing it in her
bosom.
Ellen Smith, when asked if she had any ex
planation to make, said that Ramsay had
given her the money for safe keeping and that
she and Ann Dickson, her co-defendant, had li
spent it. The Jury rendered a verdict of
guilty, and the defendants were sentenced—
Ellen Smith to fifteen Months and Ann Dick•
son to one year in the county prison.
STEALING.
William Wallace, a youth about nineteen
years old, was charged with the larceny of
thirty-live dollars, from the trunk of Mr.
Mi
chael Gorman. Gorman testified that,, upon
going into his bed-room, he found the defend
ant there, and that his money had been taken
from his trunk. He searchedthe defendant,
and found the missing money upon his per
son. Verdict guilty. Sentenced to nine months
in the county prison.
ROBBING A SOLDIER.
George Metzger was tried, upon a charge of
stealing thirty-three dollars from Jacob Itok,
a discharged soldier, Hok testified that he
had previously known the defendant, who had
also been a soldier, and that when he met him
in Philadelphia he was glad to see him; and
at the suggestion of Metzger, who said he had
a large note but no "small change," treated
the latter and his com anions several times.
lie likewise accompanied the ddendant to
various houses, where women were to be seen,
and in all of these places he took more drinks.
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. Hok released his
hold of the prisoner, who, instead of returning
the money, took to his heels and ran away.
The prosecutor thereupon became noisy and
disorderly; abused the police, and was by
them taken and locked up. Upon being die-

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.
ASSAULT AND BATTERY ON AN OFFICER
Hugh Shariam was convicted of having com
mitted an unprovoked assault and battery on
police officer Lister, at a fire in West Philadel
phia, and was sentenced to pay a line of $l,
end to an imprisonment of one year, Judge
',Ludlow, in passing sentence, said that pollee
officers, 'while in the performance of their
duty, must be protected.
