oe rrr cr re Ed EVENING STAR. LOCAL INTELLIGENCE. pied neon aaainpaaninhassamaapmceeeiee Yar Axotser Hoxicips —Shortly before three o'clock, yesterday, a commotion was no- tieed at the corner of Pennsylvania avenue and Ninth street; a large sized, athletic man, (named John Essex,) was observed to turn and overtake a person he had just met and passed, ang to strike him a crushing blow upon the back of the head with his fist, or some instru- ment in his hand, and to follow up his attack by a series of ferocious kicks uvon the face and neck of the individual attacked, who had now fallen senseless to the ground. The person thus struck down and beaten was named Owen Quigley, and the offence seems to have been simply calling out ‘‘ Hur- rah for Magruder,”’ in reply to a jostle which threw him in the gutter, received from Essex and his cempanions as they passed. Essex now turned and fied, but was pur- sued by officers and citizens, and was arrested finally by Officer Duvall, and some gentlemen assisting, and conveyed to Justice Hollings- head’s office in despite of the attempt of a & party of Essex’s confederates to rescue him. Oe Finks, of Virginia, and other witneszes, testified to the facts as above stated. Mr C. F. Wood, who was sworn, said he was crossing the street when he saw the young men, and heard one, he could not say which, say ‘‘ Hurra for Magruder!’’ he looked and saw Essex step back and knock the man down, and then go to him and kick him twice; thought the attack was unprovoked. After Mr. Wood had concluded his state- ment, Officer Parham entered the office and told the Tustice that Quigley was dead. Justice Hollingshead inquired if he had seen the body. Parham answered that he had not, but that Officer Wise was there and could tell more about it Offizer Wise stated that Dr. Young had toid him (Wise) to go for the Coroner to hold an inquest, ard that Dr. Young had sent for Dr. May to assist him in a post mortem examina- tion. Justice Hollingshead said, that before com- mitting or bailing Essex he would like tohave more positive testimony, and requested Officer Wise to go for Dr. Young. While this was going on, and the Magistrate was awaiting the arrival of Dr. Young, the officer (Duvall) who claimed the arrest, and who had the prisoner in charge, was talking to various persons in the front office. the pris- oner mean time moving about at will in the office and the adjoining rooms. The Magis- trate admonished Officer Duvall to look after his prisoner, and thereupon Duvall went to the back room where the prisoner was. (fii- cer Wilson also went into the back room, and had some conversation with the prisoner Offi- cer Duvall again returned to the front office and satdown. Officer Parham told Duvall he Lad better look after Essex, or he would run directly. Duvall replied that there was no danger; it would be very much against him if he did such athing. After a few minutes Officer Wilson came into the front office, and said to Justice Hollingshead with a laugh, “You can’t try that case, the prisoner has escaped.-’ The Justice turned quickly in his chair and asked Wilson if he intended any reflection upou him. Wilson said he meant no insult to the Magistrate ; he only meant to say that the prisoner had escaped, and the caae could not be tried in his absence. The Justice then asked who was the officer who had Essex in charge Wilson replied ‘‘ I am not Parham stated that the case had been claimed by another cflicer. Duvall then got up and said ‘‘ I suppose the prisoner was in my custody, but L’’—; the Justice interposing « Then you had better go and find him; this is aserivusmatter‘’’ But this Duvall did not appear to think it worth his while to do, and the last we saw of him he was loafing on the sidewalk, in front of the office, a most painful specimen of incapacity and inefliciency, to call it by no harsher name Essex, it is supposed, made his escape from the city. From the Magistrate’s office we went to the house where lay the dead body of Quigley, surrounded by weeping relatives; and as we saw the gray-haired parents of the deceased, the mother especially, bend in speechless, convulsive agony over the cold, pale corpse, we ielt that the must depraved heart must have been softened by that scene of distress, and impressed with the fearful responsibility resting upon those who counsel such deeds of violence or allow them to go unrebuked. We hear, but for the credit of human nature would not willingly believe, that a person on the strect, in the vicinity of the examination, was heard openly to vindicate the deed as only the killing of an Irishman! Wiil not all right minded men—lovers of justice apd ot their country—irrespective of party, juin to repress this appalling spirit of violence and bloodshed which now walks unblushing in open day? Will they not shake off those sfiliations which bind them to give morzl support, and countenance, at least, to men who avail themselves of such support to grat- fy to the fullest extent their lawless and bloody propensities ” Tae Maror has issued an official order cer- tifying that the following named persons have been returned by the Commissioners of Elec- tion as duly elected members of the Board of Aldermen and Board of Common Council and Assessors at an election held on Monday, the 2d instant, viz: First Ward.—Aldermen—Wm.

Cincinnati, June 3—The Convention was called to order at 10} o’clock John L Dawson, of Pa., from the committee on permanent organization, reported the ful- lowing names: President—John Ward, of Georgia.

Hill, Cal; and thirty-one secretaries. The announcement of the Presijent’s name was received with applause. The committee also recommended the adop- tion of the rules of the last National-‘Conven- tion for the government of the present Con- vention On motion of Mr. Rockhill, the report was unanimously adopted. Mr. John L Dawson then conducted the President to the chair. On taking the chair Gen Ward said: The summons to preside over the deliberations of the Convention was as unexpected as the hoor was undeserved. The distinguished gentleman who yesterday presided—the con- necting link between the past and the pres- ent—had carried them back to the period when the Democratic party was accustomed to go forth to battle with a great, noble, gal- lant party. That party, with the issues that divided us, has passed away. The great lea- ders of that party have, one by one, stolen away to their silent resting place, filled with years and honors, and mourned by their polit- ical friends ; for “ flow sleep the brave who sink to rest, With ali their country’s honors blest *’ Those of that noble band who still survive are with us only to take part in our delibera- tions, and go fortu with us to battle for the Constitution and the Union. But this great party passed away. We find ourselves surrounded by dangers before un- known, and our land from end to end convul- sed with factions. On one side sre wen who will admit foreign born citizens among us only on the condition of serfdom. They would dic- tate laws that forse should be held only by those who bow before the same shrine as them- selves; they hold that they only are fit for power who approach the throno of grace after the fashion they themselves prescribe. On the other side is a faction only more nu- merous than the first—a faction with liberty on their tongues, but with treason festering at their hearts; who profess love for the Union only that they may bury in the ruins of the Union the glorious memories of the past and hopes of the future. This faction ia furmida- ble only in case of the success of its attempts 2 unite against the Demosratic party with the rst The National Democratic party have met to-day to appoint standard bearers to carry on the war against these factions. Let us then come together like a band of brothers to lay on the altar of patriotism and of the Union a willing sacrifice of personal preferences and sectional feeling, and, above all, of private dissensions Let our deliberations and actions be sanctioned by higher and purer motives. Let our preference fur persons be lost in a de- sire to protect and save the Constitution of the country. With an abiding confidence that the kindness which summoned me to this place will bear with me in the performance of its duty, and that that kindness will par- don any errors [ may unintenticnally commit, T enter upon the discharge of that trust. A motion was made to admit the delegates from the District of Columbia to the floor, and debated, and subsequently laid upon the table. Mr. Bayard, from the Committee on Cre- dentials, reported in favor of admitting the Missouri anti-Benton delegates, which was received with cheers. The report was adopted. It was also announced that the committee was engaged upon the New York case, and would report as soon as possible; and the committee was allowed to sit during the ses- sion of the Convention. The motion to admit the District delegates was again renewed. . Mr. Bander, of Indiana, protested against admitting more than two delegates from the District. He said the object in taking the Convention from Baltimore was to get clear ef Congressional influence, and he was opposed to admitting delegates from the District to the galleries without limit Mr. Pettit, of Indiana, was also opposed to all motions to fill the galleries even with la- dies ; but would certainly prefer to see them filled with beings wearing pantaloons than those with petticoats. The Vice President declared the motion to be to ay oe motion on the table. A call by States was demanded, an > ed: Yeas 150, nays 91. fort? Sapna vailed A long debate on the question of the admis- sion of outsiders ensued, and several resolu- tions having that object in view were tabled amidst the direst confusion. On motion, the Committee of Arrangements was authorized te appoint a sergeant-at-arms and two assistants The hall of the Young Men’s Democratic Association was offered for the use of the Con- vention, if thought preferable to the hall in use. An inyitation was also extended from the Horticultural Society. A delegate from Connecticut moved to ac- cept the offer of the Young Men’s Democratic Association. He had been in that hall, and could assure members it held nearly double the number of this hall. Several gentlemen with weak voices spoke there last night, and were distinctly heard. He would say, too, that on that occasion the Democracy of Cin- cinuati in that ball showed ves far So the motion pre- more orderly than the Democracy of the Union does here. The motion was referred to the Committee of Arrangements. The Convention then took a recess till four o'clock, p. m. June 3, p. m.—The Convention re-assem- bled at four o’clock. p.m. There was no bu- siness of importance transacted, and the Convention adjourned until ten o'clock, a. m. to-morrow.
