Coroner Patterson was notified and called in t> see the body, but decided that ro inquest was necessary ashe died from natural causes. The deceased was about 45 years of age, and was well known to many in this city. The remane were turned over to his sons for arial. a AN ALTERCATION BetTweEeN JOURNALISTS. A few days ago Richard T. Greener, an asso- ciate editor of the New Nafion published in this city, saw fit to withdraw his editorial connection with that publication, and in so do- ing wrote a valedictory for its columns, which Mr. Lewis H. Douglass did not see fit to print. This morning Greener called upon Douglass to expostulate. and in the heat of the argument ich eneued Greener called Douglass a liar, prefixing it with an adjective not inconsonance With the requirements of the Third Command- ment. Douglass at once raised bis hand and brought it in contact with the cheek of the pro- fessor. The assailed party/endeavored to retal- iate with a chair, but its force was dodged by Douglass and the article of furnitare was strewn to smithereens on the floor of the editorial sanc- tum. (One or two of those good people who are always on the alert for the exchange list hap- — in, and the two journalists were cooled jown and reason resumed its sway. ——_o-—__ Tue Meanest Tarer Yer. Yesterday, while alarge force ot laborers was busy at work in the Smithsonian grounds ploughing and level- ing, some sneak thief stole about $50 worth of coats, vests and boots belonging to the working party which had been piled on and about the tool chest, which was standing in the open field near by where they were at work. The thief, a colored man, was seen by some one, who gave notice to the workmen, and they started in pur- suit. and followed the rascal to the neighbor- bood of Church's lumber yard, where they lost sight of him, as he managed to make good his escape.

Red-het Meett im the Southern Districts, A rousing big meeting of the republicans of the 17th and 18th districts was held at Istand hall last yo to ratify the nominati it F. A. Boswell and W. Hunt, the candidates for the Hi of Del those districts. Charles H. M: with Mr. McGrew as Maio: H. A. Hal after some remarks in praise of the al honesty of Messrs. Hunt and Boswell, the necessity of sending men to the Delegates who would sustain Governor Shep- herd and the District government in THE GREAT WORK OF IMPROVEMENTS entered on. He said the District government was now on trial before the national govern- ment, and men of energy and integrity were needed to represent them. He alluded to ‘the combination of croakers, Hlars and scallawags” who have been working for the destruction of our credit, both at home and abroad, and urged allrepublican voters to come up to the aid of the authorities and confound their enemies. cious lies are published daily in the distant press of our country in order to prejudice the minds of our national legislators against doing what = should do for the national capital. This ts A CONSPIRACY OF A CLIQUE to baftie Governor Shepherd and the friends of our District, and bring the national administra- tion into disrepute. There had never been an appointment made by President Grant which so well satistied the people everywhere, (except of course, the conspirators afore: iid,) as that of A. R. Shepherd, and pow let the people of this District show their appreciation of him by their votes in the coming election, and choose good, honest en ic men. afraid to do their duty fearless! are F. A. Boswell and W. R. Hunt Kev. J. speech, during the delivery of which he was tre- quently applauded. A commun'cation was read from Mr. Joseph Williams, excusing his absence by reason of sickness, and pledging his unqualitied reg to Mr. Brewer, of the 1ith district; F. A. Bos- well, of the 17th, and W. R. Hunt, of the 18th districts. [Cheers.] STIRRING SPEECHES were then made by Major Bihles, A. K. Browne and others, when the chair announc-d Mr. ‘Thomas H. Barron as the next ex. Mr. Barron started out with the annoucement that in ratifying he reserved to himself the privilege ot condemning. He concurred im all that had been said in praise of Mr. Hunt, but there were others of whhm he wished to speak his mind. He then went on to state that he had published a challenge to meet any one of the candidates or their friends in public meeting to diccuss their merits and demerits, and there had not been a man found to accept it. Nota response bad been made to his challenge. Now he had an opportunity to say what he wanted to, he desired to review the political course of F. A. Boswell since he bad been so gexerously honored with the suffrages of the Page of the old 7th ward, and he would ask his audience if he was a fit man to represent them in the legislature? [Voices—“Yes! Yes!! Yest!!”") HE WISHED TO ARRAIGN ROSWELL on various charges. He then went on to say how Boswell bad been elected city register and afterwards collector of taxes, and had feathered his nest on offices, and that afterwards he was sent as a delegate to the nominating convention to select a man for delegate to Con; 8, and had cast his vote against Chipman; that in the next election for mayor he had turned against his own best friend, S.J. Bowen, and had said that he would defeat him (Bowen) for mayor if he had to run a democrat to do it. The chair called Barron to order, and re- minded him that the meeting had been called to ratify the nominations, notto rake up old issues and make use of personalities. Mr. Barron claimed that he had aright to continue. Several of Mr. Boswell’s friends rose to a int of order, and the chair finally ordered rT. Barron to desist from the strain he had en- tered upon. Mr. Barron said he had no wish to detract from any of Bo«well's merits, but ‘did it be- come him to cast his vote for Fred. Do: glass in » yor “Sit down and cool off ! “Rab your head with a brick!” &e. Much confusion here followed, dozens being on their feet and all shouting at once, and finally Mr. Boswell rose and begged the au- dience to let Mr. Barron proc’ 2d. HE PLEADED GUILTY to the beste bso oy by Mr. Barron, which seemed to that he had frequently been honored by his fellow citizens of the ith ward for various offices of trust and honor, and had Lm empernd been elected whenever nominated. ‘his seemed to be Mr. Barron's particular grievance, bat he (Boswell) was now a nominee once more, and was going to be elected again. [Cheers and burrabs.} Order was again restored,and Mr. Barron proceeded. He wished to express himself as to what he thought Mr. Bosweli to be. Chair—“Mr. Barron I will not stiffer these personalities togo on any further; you must take your seat.” Another rampus followed, and the band was called upon to play, which it did. “THE MAN WHO WAS TALKED TO DEATH.” When it was » Mr. Barron, who was still on his feet, ready to commence, began to gesticulate, when Ned Holmes, a colored man, made his way to the stand, and formally pre- sented Mr. Barron with a card, on which was printed the cut of a coffin, labelled ‘ The man who was talked to death.” On reaching out his hand to receive it, and seeing the coffin, Mr. Barron gave a jump of eurprise, which brought forth yells of laughter, and it was some time before order could be restored. Mr. Barron said he would refrain from going on any further under the pressure, but hoped at some other time to be heard on what he had in- tended to say. Mr. Boswell here took the floor, and briefi, “cleared away all the cobwebs” which hi been woven around bim; said he was going to be elected by a larger majority than ever; com- plimented Mr. Hunt; declared his intention of sustaining the name and financial integ- rity of the District government by his influence and votes. . Mr. Hunt followed in a brief address, which impressed the audience most favorably with his honesty and sincerity. Mills Men iu the Nimeteenth District. A meeting of those who favor the election of Justice Mills to the House of Delegates from the 19th district was held last night Wall's hall. Mr. Allan Coffin presi 5 dC. H.

The republicans of the 22d district assembled in mass meeting at the intersection of Virginia avenue and Sth street, last evening, where a platform, draped with flags, and ornamented with evergreens, had been erected.

Babcock, in charge of the a ee, ordet its removal; and that at the of the al trespass there existed an act relating to market houses, which contemplated the removal of said market; and that the Governor, acting for the District, di- rected the Board of Public Works, through the defendant, to take charge of the matter of the removal of the market. The piaintiffs demur to the second and third pleas, and the case was certified from the Circuit Court. The defendant makes the points that the ground was only in the tem) -y occupane: of the city, and that the United States desire: its possession, and through its proper officer re- quested the detendant to take possession of it and remove the building, which invelved the removal of the stands; that the defendant, in whatever he did, acted for the United States— “the owner of the freehold, with the right of entry.” In this respect, his act was the act of the United States, or of its proper offlver, for its supposed good. The District government hay- ing provided for the termination of the North- ern Liberty market-house, and for a temporary as well a8 @ permanent construction of one in ita place, at a ditterent location—i. ¢.,on square 446—and' committed the removal of the old and the construction of the temporary market- houses to a special commission, consisting of the Governor and others, by whom the Board of Public Works was requested and authorized to take charge of the removal; and in com- pliance with which request and authority, as the vice president of the board, acted, he is not responsible in this action to ‘the plaintiff. That the plaintitts have not any just ground of complaint. The act of the legislative assembly of June 30, 1872. expressly provided for their carrying on their business at the new tempo- rary market without charge, until the expira- tion of their licenses, and the alleged trespass was not committed until September 4. That whatever wasdone by the defendant was done in the execution of the laws aforsaid, and in virtue of the request and direction of the said Henry D. Cooke, as aforesaid, and as a member of said Board of Public Works, and not in_his Individuai capacity, and not otherwise, The plaintifts alloge a rightful occupation under an unexpired license of said city of Washingto and claim that the first plea of defendant is bad, for it does not show a justification in law of the alleged trespass. It does not pretend that the “late” city of Washington had no right to give such license, nor that their estate therein had been lawfully determined. Itdoes not intimate that any notice to quit had been given by the United States to the said city of Washington or the plaintiffs. If the city of Washington was tenant “by the suffrance of the United States” it was entitled to thirty da: tice to quit. The third ples attempts to justify under two acts of the legislative assembly and an order from the governor of the District of Columbia. ‘This plea does not pretend that said acts have been complied with, and is bad.

Prof. John M. Lan; n made a statement re- garding the financial condition of the 15th street church, in which he showed that the church owed about $14,000, and asked aid from the presbytery. Kev. Mr. Fairley moved that a re- commendation be made to the churches, in order that collections may be taken up for the benefit of this church. Rev. J. N.
