A DANCE given at Central Hail by the Horse~ shoers’ Associution broke up in a row at 6:30 yes~ terday morning. The fignt which foliow the strect was a desperate one, masmuch #3 sev- eral shots were fired. right in the midst of a crowd. The only person injured so farasthe lice ascertained was John Langan, of No. 1600 State street, who received a slight bullet-wownd inthe calf of one leg. Oflicer Sherrett, who broke up the rows arrested one of the contest- ents giving the pamg of John Thompson. He had upon bim a revolver which bad evidently been used, but Langan denied that it was he who shot bim, and besides he did not want to rosecute his assailant, no matter who or what ie was. The wound was 60 slight that the recip- jent did not consider it necessary to have it dressed by a surgeon. Sasurn Fiser and Charles Goodman are two “smart” yous men who created considerable of # disturbance early last evening at tne corner of Madison and Ha! streets, Having gotten too much New-Year's Nquor aboard, they gave full vent to thelr boisterous feelings, and. drew a crowd of people curious to see their antics.

Aman, low in size, compact in build, of good features, and a bushy brown, well-kempt hair, hobbled on his frozen feet into the West Madi- son Street Station yesterday afternoon, and begxed for shelter. His person, or at least 28 much of it as was . visible, was scru- pulously clean, but his clothing was old, of poor quality, and very ragged. It was no Happy New-Yeur for bim plainly enough. But beneath the zloom and sadness on the face the station-keeper thought he saw traces of a once happy and successful Jife, and being curious asto whether his surinises were correct he questioned the “tramp” as to his antecedents. He was not a little stag- gered when the man of informed him that bis name was Oriando Tichborne Malpas Dix-Greer, and that he was not only the rightful heir to the great 'Tichborne estates, and alsoa step-son of the present Duke of Argyll, and, therefore, step-brother to the Marquis of Lorne, but he was even thought by many to be the legitimate but outcast, son of the Queen of England and the. Prince Con- sort. tramp with a-clean skin is an anomaly, but such an one who pretends to affiliation with the nobility of Great Britain was never beard .of botore, and the station- keeper did not have it in bis heart to refuse his request for shelter, And, besides, the poor man’s feet were {un terribie condition, the result of having been frozen some weeks agO: He was made ascomfortable as possible ina cell down-stairs. * ‘The inan is probably insane, though there is Hittle or no show of itin other than claims upon Royalty. He has a striking resemblance to the ortraits of Prince Albert and the Priuce of ‘ales. He is qaite familiar with the details of the jamous Tichborne trial, and says he knows Arthur Orten (the false Roger Tichborne) very well, but had no friendship for him because of his action in trying to become pos- sessed’ of other men’s estates.. His another, Mrs, Tichborne, was married tothe Duke of Arvyll. Orlando.also claims for an uacle Mr. Salisbury, a well-known rubber dealer, wno will no doupt feel gratifled to find himself so closely reluted to England's nobility. Though insane, Mr. Greer bas no violent symptoms, and | he is able to answer ail question fluently and without contradicting himself. As to his life before falling into bard ines in America, he S358, he was known in Birmingham as the Hon. Mr. Orlando Greer. At one time be was a merchant prince of thit city, and at an- other represented the borough in Parliament. His uncle and other relatives reduced him to beggury by u series of plots and swindles, and he was compelled to leave the Sounty. Now he is willing to do any sort of drudgery for a living, but when his feet were frozen he was disabled for even that. Sane or insane, Mr. Greer is a re- markable man, and plainly eaough bas at some UUme or other been well off in the world. THE FLEMING CASE. A TALK WITH JUROR CARTER. A‘TRIBUNE reporter calles last evening upon Mr. C. B. Carter, the Juryman who notified Judge Hawes Thursday last that outside influence had been brought to bear upon a certain juryman in the Fleming conspiracy case, the resuit of which information was thesensational scence of Fri-~ day, when che Judge called upon Mr. Jackson, ; the alleged crooked juror, to explain what he knew about the matter. Mr. Carter was found at alate hour last night, having just returned from a protracted calling expedition. His attention was called to the denial of Mr. Juckson that there wus any truth in the information which was given to Judge Hawes, andin reply made in substance the following statement: “I did not care or intend to say a word about what occurred in the jury-room other than what Itold Judge Hawes; but, as there seems to be a question of yeracity as between myself and fr. Jackson, rhaps I ‘may be justitied in relating the facts. Within an hour or two atter the jury retired on Wednesday, Mr..Gesener, Jackson, and myscif were grouped apart from the other gentlemen, discussing the merits of the case. uring that couversation, which, by the/way, was avery animated one, Mr. Gesener called our} attention to a question asked by Mr.Thom- son when Minor was on the stand. The query ‘Was whether the witness knew that therc was $300 in the job. Mr. Jackson quickly said, ‘O no; I know there wna eg . NO SUCH MONEY INIT.” Afellow told me there was only $150 init.’ I immediately said to Mr. Jackson, *So you have beeu talking to some outsider about the case, have you? - “Jackson was very much confused, and ap- parently appreciating the fact that he had thoughtlesly put his foot in it, said: ‘No, I only overheard a conversation about it.” 2 “TI then went to Mr. Galloway, the foreman of the jury, and he told-me-he thought the Court should be told the circumstance. I, however, thought the matter over, and, not being par- ticularly fond of sensations, concluded not to say anything about it, and probably _shou!d not bave done sv had‘ Bir. Jackson Tot become abusive the next day. About 8 o'clock Thursday morning 1 said to Jackson, who had been voting with the minority all the. time, *Mr. Jackson, I am afraid your tulk with that party has prejudiced you in this matter.’ “+ Jackson denied point-biank that he had made such an admission. Mr. Gesener heard his de- nial, and at this moment came forwara and said, ‘You did so, for { heard you.’ Jackson called him a liar, Things became very interest- ing, and during the excitement Jackson turned to one of the other jurors and applied some vile epithet to Mr. Gesener, when that gentleman SQUARED HIMSELF FOR A FIGRT. ‘The Bailiff, who was in the hall, heard the scuttiing whenthe jurors came together, and came in just in time to prevent what mixht have been a knock-down argument. I was very indignant, as was Mr. Geseuer, and we felt thut in justice to ourselves and the Court, we ought ‘to make known the facts. ItW@refore wrote a Rote to Judge Hawes, which was also signed by Mr. Gesener, who heard Jackson's statement in relation tv having talked about the case, and Jackson knew what that note contained. The restof the story has already been given to tho public, and I may conclude by saying that what did was in the interest of justice and decency, and Ibave no explanation to make of my purt in the transaction.” + The reporter pursued his investigations into this queer business, and was rewarded by ascer- taining that it was the opinion of the majority from the setae that two or three of the jurors n. When they retired these fel- bad been jows “asked no questions, - would listen to no arguments, and seemed to ignore not only every particle of testimony at 1 detrimenta: th the defeudants. but even re- fused to consider the Judge's instructions. It terest did: not’ apply to Doran, because the minority made the proposition to. convict Doran if the majority would consent to acquit Fleming and Minor. ‘This pro- posal was resented by several of the jurors tn an unmistakable mauner, after which the mi- uority simply sulked, and refused to come over. The majority of the jury were convinced of the guilt, of the accused, and were surprised that a witabss for the State was not indicted also, SUBURBAN.

Puwavevrm, Dee. 30, 1880.—Prima facie, the appointment of the Committee of One Hundred, and their nomination. of city offi- cers,in Philadelphia; ihdicatea reform of the Republican party,—a consummation sorely needed, and devoutedly prayed for by the overburdened taxpayeis. Having observed the baneful effects of party spirit, and studied the history of the Ring dynasty dur- ing a residence of over three years in Phila- delphia, I propose to tell youT*rtaders what. I know about Ring politics in the City of Brotherly Loye. I shall endeavor to under- state, rather than‘exageerate, the truth; and, if the facts stdted seem to be almost in- credible. I ca only say the whole truth would stagger belief. The Republican party in Philadefphia, for the Jast twenty years, has been the dominant party by majorities ranging from 20,000 to 80,000 on a fair party vote. “The condition of the party here illustrates the corrupting in- fluence ofa LONG LEASE OF POWER, unchecked by a. vigorous and aggressive minority party. For, though there has been an occasional successful revolt against some of the grosser and most shameless outrages upon public rights, yet the Ringsters of both parties have made common cause against all efforts to break fhe power of Ring rule,— ‘uniting to defray the expenses of defeated Ring candidates, and buying over to their side Reformers who had become too popular to be defeated or counted out at the polls. The organization of the party has been such as to take from the people the power of nominating -candidates, and delegate it toa select few.. The mass of Republican voters have no more voice in the choice of candi- dates than have so many duminies. HEAP OF DEPARTMENTS. The Gas-Trust, the Highway, Police, and Fire Departments, the School Board, etc., employ from 15,000 to 20,000 voters; and these are under the control of the heads of these departments, and their tenure of service de- pends on their doing the will of their. em- ployers. This vast army of subsidized voters take possession of the primaries, and run them in the interest of the Ring politicians. “COUNTED OUT.” Three times the Republica of the Fif- teenth Ward—the most populgiis ward,in the city, numbering some 10, voters—at- tempted to make their yoice potential at the primaries; but each year they were defeated, though largely outvoting the Ringsters. Once they were counted out; once the lights were extinguished, and the ballot-boxes taken possession of by Republican rowdies; and one time, when the Reformers went home rejoicing in victory, they were astonished :to find, the- next morning, on reading the ‘re- turns that the Ring candidates were elected A PERSONAL FRANCHISE. Allthe machinery of the party is in the hands of the Ring; and the select few who compose the Ring. regard the party asso much personal property, and the offices’ and their emoluments as theirs to enjoy and dis- tribute at their goad pleasure: As the Cam erons have regarded the State as their ‘per- sonal inheritance, and Legislatures and State conventions.as convenient agencies to exé- cute their will, so McManes, Leeds, Baldwin, and Kemble have regarded the primaries and city. conventions as supple instruments to register their will. And no well-posted aspirant for a city office would presume to be a candidate without first consulting and seek- ing the support of these political dictators: + And, when some prominent Republicans in the Fifteenth Ward revolted ‘at the nomina- tion of an unfit candidate for the Legislature from that Ward, Mr. Kemble—the man since convicted and sentenced to the Penitentiary- for attempting to bribe the Legistature. to pass the Riot bill—complained that they had not consulted him beforehand, as he could have nominated another man! ‘The nomina- tions were made in his bank-parlor. THE PRIMARIES A FARCE, The primaries were merely matters of form, and were never held till! the program was marked ont by the bosses. A half-a- dozen oradozen leaders, more or Jess,— usually less,—dictate all the important nom- inations in this city, ‘They say to one man, “Go”! he goeth; to another, “Come” t and he cometh; and to’ others, ‘Do this’! and they do it, CHARACTER OF THE BOSSES. In some communittes mien control others by their intellectual, social, and moral emi~ nence, But these political leaders are chiefly of low origin, and a few years ago were poor and unknown to fame, and huve risen to their bad eminence by low cunning, and by ques- tionable if not disreputable methods, and amassed wealth at the public expense. Now and then the long-suffering patience of the people, excited ‘beyond control by the au- dacious conduct of some Ringster, has given place to hot indignation, and their wrath has Jasted Jong enough to defeat him at the next election; ut he has hitherto been shrewd enough to gain by indi- rection ‘what he los¢ in an open fight at the polls. i LAVISIC EXPENDITURES, Thus, William B, Mann, a chronic Repub- lican barnacle,who has received over $i,000,- 000 in salaries and fees during the last twen- ty-five years, after he was snowed under by. an avalanche of Republican votes, managed, after dining and wining the Judges at a feast in. his private mansion, to receive from them the office of Prothonatory, with emoluments reputed to be $80,000 a year. And, when.the new Constitution was adopted, ‘abolishing fees, and making it mandatory on the Legis- Tature to establish salaries for all officers, he and his tribe managed to prevent the Legis- lature from performing this: imperative duty for several years, that they might prolong their carnival of extortion’ under. the forms of law, And they finally induced the Legis- lature to establish $10,000 and S: So, too, when the people defeated that no- torious Republican_ringster, .W. E. Rowan, for Sheriff, his confederates. raised a: larga sum—said to be $60,000 or $70,000—to defray his election expenses, saying,’ Your cause is our cause, and you should not be allowed. to suffer in such a contest.” REFORM ASSOCIATION. , For seven or eight years there has been a Reform Association here, for the purpose of electing good men to city offices,-irrespective of party,—holding that the business affairs of the city, like those of a private’business firm, should be conducted on business principles, without regard to party. ~'This Association gave its support to none but good men, vot- ing according to party preferences when both parties nominated good men, discriminatin; when one party nominated a good man an the other a bad one, and making nominations only when both parties. presented unfit can- didates. They were able at times to cast from 28,000 to 20,000 votes. The active membership of this Association was composed of many prominent buginéss men,—lawyers, mer-' chants, manufacturers, _ ‘book-publishers, brewers, hotel-keepers, ‘bankers, insurance men, and others who felt the evils of corrupt governments and its resulting oppressive taxation. . Though they did not succeed in getting possession of the City. Government, they improved the character of the Councils, reformed many abuses, exposed many of the public ‘‘steals,” and saved the. city many millions of dollars, One man, whose name is. honored in ~ bus- iness circles’ throughout the: countty, spent ‘not Jess than $60,000 of his private fortune in this effort to reform the City Gov- ernment. It was a principle of -the active members that none of them should seek or accept office, except by the consent of the whole body. But one after another of the prominent members’ tired of the ceaseless and thankless effort to stem the tide of cor- 12,000 salaries. .|” ruption and reform politica! profligacy, and dropped outof the work. The meetings of the Association became fewer and more slimly attended; and, when I came to Phila- delphia, in 1876, it was a dormant body, with but a faithful body-guard left to watch over the Reform citadel and keep up a ski fire against the King politicians. GIANT. DESPAIR. 4 One of the most discouraging obstacles was the feeling of hopelesness of reform, in the ininds of the people.. While wishing success to the movement, they quite generally said, “Jt is useless to try; we have tried. sv often and failed!” Even Mr, Childs, of the Ledger, in reply my question why.. he did not- put’ down the’. Ring . with: the powerful futiuence of his ubiquitous journal, said it was a hopeless task. And, when I ex- pressed my astonishment to another leading citizen that the people were so indifferent to their wrongs, so paralyzed with despair, and so wanting in courage to fight their oppress- ors,—who had niortraged every: foot of real estate and the ‘industry of the city bya debt of $70,000,000, so that ‘the net income ‘of the realty of the city, after paying interest on indebtedness, and ‘the expenses of the City Government, did not exceed 2 per cent,—he explained the situation by describing the ETHNOLOGICAL CHAN. of the citizens as a cross between the phlegm- atic Dutch and the cowardly Quakers; and asked, “What: could, be expected of such a race but that it would fall an easy prey to bold, greedy, and unscrupulous villainy. ‘The King appealed ‘to men’s avarice and ambition to silence their reproofs. One noisy. Reformer was allowed to furnish stationery to the city at his own price,—$30,000 worth, it was alleged,—and his zeal at once abated. An- other was allowed a fat: office, worth $12,000 a year; and the next we heard of him he was at Harrisburg asking the Leg- islature for an increase of salaries for his of- fice—and he got it. * SUCCESSFUL INSURRECTIONS. There have been frequent elections by the people of Reform candidates, who were counied out by Republican. judges. or can- vassers. Thus, Joseph L. Caven was elected over William S. Stokley, present Mayor, in 1877; but, as a contest would last nearly through his term of office and cost over $30,000, Stokley was allowed to keep the of- fice. So in the Twentieth Ward, -two years ago, the Reform candidates for the Common Council weve. undoubtedly elected, though counted out. An examination of a‘ single precinct out of thirty-six comprising the ward showed sixty-two false personations of legal voters who did not vote, by illegal voters. But to contest the election would have cost over $3,000, and ‘it was abandoned. But'in nota few instances the Reformers elected their candidates to Councils, and compelled the other parties to put up better candidates through fear of: defeat. Three years ago they eiected Robert E. Pattison, a Democrat, City Controller, who bore himself so nobly in his ‘high office, by protect the public’ treasury against both Republican. and . Democratic _ thieves, that last fall the people reélected him over a Republican Kingster by -18,000 majority, though the Republicans carried the city by 25, majority.; A mammoth protest by 38,000 Republican voters! And here is where THE GREAT AWAKENING began, and out.of this keform yote grew the appointment of the Commitiee of One Hundred Repitblicans to make nominatious outside of the regular party machinery. It comnnitted two great blunders as a’ Re- it decided that its form Committee: , First, work should be strictly partisan,—that_it would nominate ‘aid support none but Re- publicans,—thereby repelling a large number ot Democrats ready and anxious to codperate in any non-partisan effort ts reform the City Government. Next, it appointed a Commit- tee to confer withthe Kepublican Central Committee on the;subject of nominations. Had they really beén in earnest for Reform, they would not.have placed party in the front and Reforti in the background,—but would have invited the codperation of all good citizens, without raising the partisan flag at the threshold. And many Reform Republicans believe . that the ap- Pointment of. this -committee _was a shrewd — schpme of e . Ring to prevent an insurgection in the party; that cd as asort of es- dignation of the Inde- pendent Republicins, to prevent its bursting on the heads of tHe Ring. And’ this belief is strengthened by'the fact that this commit= tee has nominated’for chief Executive otficer of the City Goverhinent Mayor Stokley;. a head Ringster, and the tool of, Kingsters,— Htvosters they are galled here—under whose Administration thé city debt was increased 23,000,000, and wi8 Had thé shatuélesuess to accent the gift of 4 (£30,000 house on Bread street from men seelting and possessing. con- tracts and jobs from the city, whose bills and appropriations he would be called on to: ap- prove. Itis possible that Mr. Stokley, under the coaching of the Committee of One fiun- dred, may becon# a. full-fledged Reform Mayor. But usuaily “Men-do not gather grapes of thorns, nor figs of thistles.” PANORAMA OF ITALY. glare To change from Politics to Art, I-wish to speak very briefly of, a noteworthy painting —a masterpiece of its kind—which I had the rare pleasure of examining quite thoroughly, on several suecessiye evenings, recently, at Institute Hall, in/ West Philadelphia, It consists of a series of life-like views of the leading cities, cathedrals, palaces, castles, ruins, and places of'greatest interest in Italy, including the battle-scenes at Varese, Magenta, and Solferino, in the struggle for Italian, independence and unity,—painted by Samuel B. Waugh. an eminent artist of Philadelphia, from sketches taken during‘a seven years’-residencé in Italy. Mr. Waugh was the active member of the Art Commission at the Centennial Exposition; was selected to paint President Lincoln’s family, and his name may be seen on all the engravings ‘of the family-group. He was invited, while in Italy, by Bishop Hughes, to paint the Pope and, when in London, to paint Queen Vic- toria,—an honor aecorded only. to the most eminent. artists. Mr, Waugh undertook this painting asa work of love, devoting some of the best years of his life to the sub- ject, and the work is worthy of the artist. ‘There are ninety-six'views ona canvas nine feet high and over 1,000 feet long. ‘The great merit of the work, in addition to its artistic excellence, is its ‘faithful representation of places and objects,.so that they appear to the spectator just as they would to the tour- ist; and, while one is bebolaing the unroll- ing of the canvas, he: is practically making the tour of Italy. ‘The bays, lakes, mount- the committee wi cape-valve fo1 , ains; vast cathedrals; St. Peter’s—the ex- terior and interior; the Vatican; palaces of Dukes and Emperors; great amphitheatres, with walls 100'feet high, and inclosine six aeres of ground, with seating capacity for 87,000 persons, and: an: open area in the centre 287 feet long and 180 feet wide; mighty ruins which had an antiquity Without date in the time of the Casers; Pompeli and® Herenlaneum bronght light, though buried 1,800 years ago; Mount ‘Vesuvius in flames, and belching out molten’ lava,—these are some of the objects of mar- yelous beauty and magnificence sketched _b: the artist from personal observation, an transferred: to canvas as by the wand of an enchanter. For the extent of the picture, its faithfulness to nature, the perfection of all its parts, and the verisimilitude of the repre- sentation to the things themselves, it is unique and without a parallel. B. $< FACTS AND FIGURES FOR FINANCIERS, A-curious fact is brought to light by a TRIB-, UNE representative in preparing the annual trade review of ‘Chicago for 1880, which ilus-' trates very conspicuously the monetary great- ness of our city. In getting at the total yearly sales of the Diebold Safe & Lock Company, which, by the way, was in excess of $1,000.000,— Mr. Johu W. Norris, the Vice-President of the Company and the General Agent for the North- west, located at 57 State strect, made the re- mark that, while only'a little over half na mill- jon dollars’ worth of ‘safes were suld by him, and'a very considerable part of that in the States’and Territories tributary to Chicago, yet there was actually in the City of Chicago to-day values guarded by the Diebold safes greater in amount than the totul Nationa: debt. Now, when we consider that this ‘great Company has ‘been ‘In business ‘twenty years or more, what must.be the total value protected by these safes] It must reckon up in the billions, ——— NORTHERN PACIFIC BONDS, ‘We call the attention of investors to the -$20,000,000 Northern Pacific Railroad bonds just offered by ,the Syndicate comprising Messrs.
