Lonpon, July 23, 1872, During the session of the House of Commons in | “the afternoon to-day there was some discussion ‘upon the subject of the arrival of French Com- munists in England, during which a significant question was put to tne government by Sir Robert Peel, member for Tamworth. The Right Honorable Baronet, afver alluding to ‘the fact that Germany had expelled the Jesuits, asked the Premier whether the government in- ‘tended to enforce the section of the Roman “Catholic Relief act of 1829, which provides for the ‘banishment from England of all members of the Society of Jesus. Mr. Gladstone, in reply, said’ the subject was an important one, and must be taken into serious con- mideration by the government. He added that though the law in question was now nearly half a century old, no steps had yet been taken for its en- Sorcement.

THE COLLEGE REGATTA. pa “ns Postponement of the Races on Account of | the Weather. SPRINGFIELD, Mass., July 23, 1872. Old Boreas was too much to-day for the promised | College regatta that was to come off on the Con- necticut River. Not less enthusiastic spectators assembled along the banks to witness the contests, and with the approach of the hour when the first race was called there came a fierce breeze from the southwest which caused many fearful apprehensions that the pleasures of the day, and the question of which wa the crack college crew of New England, must be postponed for a brief time at ieast. All these ap- prehenst were, unfortunately realized, and until twilight the river's surface reminded one of Point Judith rather than the usually placid Connecticut. The crowd lingered, however, hoping that following the setting of the fun there = might come caim, — but all these hopes were in vain, and at the last mo- ment it was given out that the race would not come off until to-mofrow morning, and the multi- tude of spectators wended their Way in the direc- ton of the city very much out of sorts.

Crry or Mexico, July 16, Via Havana, July 22, 1872, Great excitement prevails on account of the immense number of abductions by kidnappers, who demand heavy ransoms to restore the captured per- sons, All the available means of the government are now employed to crush this business, On Tharsday, the 11th inst., Governor Montiel, accompanied by a large body of police, surrounded the Plazuela de San Lucas, and in a pit under the ground floor found Sefior Cervantes, who had been lately kidnapped. Cervantes’ face was bound up, with only his mouth and nose left clear for the purpose of respirag tion. The kidnappers had also placed a gag in his mouth and filled his ears with wax, and allowed him but one egg daily for subsistence. Cervantes had been captured in the night by five men while he was returning in a carriage with his family from the hotel to his residence, A number of documents were found in the house which confirm the existence of a@ secret society, composed of criminals of all nations, with the title of Italia Roja, The society is generally known, how- ever, a8 the Soctedad Terrible. ARRESTS—HISTORY OF THB SOCIETY. Three of the five kidnappers of Cervantes were arrested the same day, They were the Spaniards Ricardo Bello, aged twenty-two years, and Gumersindo Nunez, aged eighteen years, and a Mexican named Jos¢ Maria Orta, aged twenty-five ears. They confessed their guilt and stated that the society was organized outside of the republic of Mexico, and that the same gang had committed numerous similar acts. ‘The three prisoners were executed in San Lucas square the same evening, in the presence of an im- mense concourse of ingle In the pocket of one of the prisoners was found a list of forty persons who were to be kidnapped. A rigorous warfare has been started against the Gr eon which is expected to destroy it. e same band kidnapped a Frenchman named Bassot and tore out his eyes and tongue. Bassot died while in their hands. Fifteen persons suspected of being members of the gang have lately been arrested. The Monitor mentions sixteen recent cases of kidnapping, all of which were accompanied with horrible barbaritles. PERSONAL DIFFICULTIES OF AMERICANS. Considerable excitement has been ereated be- cause of the non-attention of the American officials to the murder of Doctor Yoe, and the imprisonment of Thiele, an American citizen. The postal authorities have again interrupted correspondence addressed to the American Mints- ter. he authorities at Oaxaca suppressed letters directed to the Minister which contained state- ments regarding the murder of an American. This act has been overlooked by the American Minister, one it is said, to his very friendly relations with the Mexican government. After discovering that the author of the letters was an Ameri the authorities imprisoned him, and he remains in jail without being informed of his crime. No efforts have been made to obtain his release. MATERIAL AID 10 THE REVOLUTION.

MAN | IELD, Ohio, July 23, 1872. | Hon. John Sherman addressed a large republican | meeting in this city this evening. In reviewing the | Baltimore platform, he claimed that the democratic | Darty had abandoned its former position and adopted | an essentially republican platform, thus approving and acquiescing in all the great changes and re- forms adopted by the republican party. In regard to the seventh plank—denouncing repudiation—the Senator said:—This is a voluntary renuntiation of all resolves and threats made by the democratic leaders that in some form or under some device the plighted faith of the nation. would be violated. The shadow of repudiation which clung to us like the shirt of Nessus from the example of some of the States, has increased the rate of interest on all our public securities and, ac- companied by open threats of the democratic lead- ers, has cost the people of the United States enough to build half a dozen Pacific Railroads, These sen- timents in a democratic platform read like the PENITENTIAL SIGH OF A DYING SUICIDE. Ifall these glorious resolves are so good now | why were they not made one, two, ten years ago’ What merit is there in glorying over accomplished tacts unless you contributed to their accomplish- nat virtue it there in motirning nities losty What reward does the party deserve for forcing these measures, all now onthe highway of accomplished success, when they so bitterly opposed them at | their inception’ Senator Sherman then spoke of the political bearings of the present campaign, and, after alluding to the snecessfal management of the | republican party in the past, he said:—It promises | to complete and perfect civil service reform. to abolish the imagen privilege, to continne a re- of taxes and the nationai debt, and, as | duetion fur as it is possible for the national government to do so, to secure to capital such facilities, and to labor such reward as to fairly divide the profite of production and to adjust the interests of these two great servants of civilization.

New Yor«, July 18, 1872, GENTLEMEN :—Upon mature deliberation, it seems fit that I should give to your letter of the 10th inst, some further and fuller response than the hasty, unpremeditated words in which I acknowledged and accepted your nomination at our meeting on the 12th. That your Convention saw fit to accord its highest lines in the great-work. and frankly all sections, true faith and (applause) and the nation has obliterated party surely approaching approval of that Its declaration of principles, honestly expressed, made millions of men of conditions and race devoted to one d to one nowle purpose. | has in turn pleaded the TWO NATIONAL CONVENTIONS, in each of which every State was represented, be- ing free from the contamination of corrupt power, reflected the convictions of the people and the su- preme wants of the country; and but one man could in all respects lead this sublime and in- vincible army of reform and peace. * There are few North or South whom he has not at some time antagonized, and with the earnestness of his honest nature; but who has ever questioned the integrity, the intelligence, the patriotism of Horace Greeley? (Cheers and applause.) He use Of both races before me. When they were helpless, and when it required. the highest measure of courage to brave prejudices and passions of the times; when the NOW ENFRANCHISED BLACK MAN was enslaved in the South and disfranchised in the North, and when to speak for him was to in- vite public derision and contempt, he steadily and earnestly advocated the freedom and __ political equality of allmen. (Applause.) When Grant was casting his first and only Presidential vote for Bu- chanan, for the repeal of the Missouri Compromise and the approval of the Dred Scott decision, which declared that the black man had no rights the white man was bound to respect, Horace Greeley had devoted all the vigor of his ripened manhood to give freedom and citizenship to the powerless and despised race. In his own State he made canvass after canvass against over- whelming numbers to make suffrage free to all, and in abiding faith he fought the battie to the end and | gave it victory. But in the rich wreaths he had | gathered for himself by his ceasciess efforts for the lowly and oppressed there was no hate or resent- ment to DIM THE LUSTRE OF HIS ACHIRVEMENTS. Just when the black man had been secured in his | freedom, the white men before me were, by that | triumph, made strangers to their country. ‘Then, | when the resentments of the war we omnipotent | with rulers and people, above the black tempest of | passion was one silver lining to the cloud; one | voice had spoken amidst the anathemas of hate.

That many of you originally preferred that the liberal repub- licans should present another candidate for Presi- dent, and would more readily have united with us in the support of Adams or Trumbull, Davis or Brown, is well known. I owe my adoption at Baltimore wholly to the fact that Thad already been nominated at Cincinnati, and that a concentration of forces upon any new ticket had been proved impracticable. Gratified as 1 am at your concurrence tn the Cincinnati nominations, certain as Tam that you would not have thus con- curred had you not deemed me upright and capa- ble, I find nothing in the circumstance calculated to inflame vanity or nourish self conceit. But that your Convention saw fit, in adopting the Cincinnati ticket, to re-aMrm the Cincinnati platform, is to me a source of the profoundest satisfaction. That body was constrained to take this important step by no party necessity, real or supposed. It might have accepted the candidates of the liberal republl- cans upon grounds entirely its own, or it might have presented them (as the first Whig National Convention did Harrison and Tyler) without adopt- ing any platform whatever. That it chose to plant itself deliberately, by a vote nearly unanimous, upon the fullest and clearest enunciation of prin- ciples which are at once incontestably republican and emphatically democratic, gives trastworthy assurace that a new and more auspicious era is dawning upon our long distracted country. Some of the best years and best efforts of my life were devoted toa struggle against chattel slavery— a struggle none the less earnest or arduous because respect for constitutional obligations constrained me to act for the most part on the defensive—in re- sistance to the diffusion rather than in direct efforts for the extinction of human bondage. ‘Throughout most of those years my vision was un- cheered, my exertions were rarely animated by even so much ag a hope that I should live to see my country peopled by freemen alone. ‘The affirmance by vour Convention of the Cincinnati platform is a most conclusive proof that not merely is slavery abolished, but that its spirit is extinct—that despite remains among us no party and no formidable interest’ which regrets the overthrow or de- sires the re-establishment of human bondage, whether in letter or in spirit. 1 am thereby bat will have become the universally accepted and honored foundations of our political fabric.

The only wonder is that, with the expertence gained by the rowdy in the latter affair, the bullet did not effectually do its deadly work in the present instance, MARRA’S MURDEROUS ANTECEDENTS. It will be remembered that during the excite- ment occasioned by the unearthing of a number of Stupendous whiskey frauds in this city some time ago two men, named respectively Marra and Dougherty, by # preconcerted scheme, undertook to murder Brooks, the officer who had been mainly instrumental in causing the seizure of several large establishments, and in procuring evidence ou which indictments against the guilty parties were based. The pian was simple enough. A carriage was hired and Dougherty mounted the box and handled the rib- bons, while Marra, armed with @ loaded revolver, seated himself within the vehicle. The carriage was driven to @ house in Front street, where it was known Brooks was attending to nis business, The intended victim was sitting at a desk, with his Marra entered the room as stealthily as a cat and deliberately fired at the man at the desk, the ball penetrating his body beneath the shoulder. Before the report of the pistol had ceased to vibrate through the house the would-be murderer was again in the carriage and rapidly conveyed from the ; SCENE OF THE SHOOTING. Brooks was severely wounded, but an iron con- stitution, added to the habitual energy of the man, saved his life, and he was restored to the world, while Marra was saved from death under the super- vision of the Sheriff. Marra was convicted of the attempted murder and sentenced to the State Prison. Public excitement lessened, as it usually does in such cases; a number of the prisoner’s friends represented that he was @ sadder and wiser man; that he had been led into the commission of the crime under false impressions, created pur- posely by interested parties, and a petition was forwarded to Governor Geary asking his re lease. Belleving the statements that the man was not 60 bad as represented, and that he would henceforth devote himself to peaceful pursuits, the Governor recently pardoned him. M’MULLIN HIS CHIEF BENRFACTOR. Among those most prominent in interceding for | Marra was Alderman William McMullin, better wn as “the Squire.” McMullin has for many years been recognized as a sort of Tammany out. door politician; but though possessing a compara- tively rough exterior, and being capable of doing rough work also, he had many good qualities, and was always a “jolly good feller’ with the “boys."’ Years ago he undertook to lead the old Moyamensing Hose pan ad of Philadelphia. At this time it was considered the worst in the city; its members were chosen from the lowest ranks; wherever they went they fought and cursed until they became a terror to the inhabitants, and many would rather see their property devoured by fire than have it touched by this rough crew. By degrees, however, the Alderman reduced the spirit of rowdyism and insubordination in their ranks until, instead of be- ing antagonistic to everybody aud every other | ganization, they began to be more peaceably in- clined, and finally fell under the regular order of things induced by rigid discipline. AT THE MOYAMENSINGS’ BANQUET. ‘The Moyamensings were celebrating their thirty- | fifth anniversary at their hose house on Eighth | street last night. President McMullin presided | over the feast, The entire company of Moyamen- | sings were present, and the banquet promised to be of the most successful character. The large hall was as gayly decorated as flowers and canvas stand- ards could make such a naked looking apartment. The “good things” were provided in abunday back to the door. the company formerly disposed of their enemies, M'MULLIN’S SPEECH TO THE “MOYAS.” After the greater portion of the feasting had ended the President rose to his feet and said :— GextiemEs—We have met here to-night toc thirty-fifth anniversary of the Movyai pany.

Shortly after the hour of midnight Marra, who was employed as a bartender in Dewitt's liquor | store, a lew doors off, entered the room where the jollification was going on, and, it is alleged, stole a bonquet from the table over which McMullen pre sided, and at once went down stairs. The Pr dent, though rough enough and willing to pe: more than would be tolerated at many sinilar fes- tivities, was enraged when he heard of this un- gracious act on Ue part of Marra. Placing his | hat on his head he rushed down stairs in his shirt | sleeves—as he had been dnring the evening—fol lowed to Dewitt's store, and there demanded of the bartender what he meant by stealing (he flowers from the banquet table. THE SHOOTING. He told Marra, ina manner that left no reom to doubt he was speaking his mind, if he had seen him he would not have got away with his prize. Marra did not attempt ap excuse, but drew a pistol, placed it to the breast of McMullin and fired. ‘The bali ¢ tered on the left side, above the region of the heart. The assassin leaped over the bar and was | immediately out of the house. M'MULLEN STAGGERED, and, pressing his hands over the wound, endeav- ored fo prevent the blood from escaping, rus! to the door and exclaimed, “My God! 'm shot.’ Al- derman Collins, of the Second ward, was standing at the door of the Moyamensing Hose house when McMuilin returned. Collins Imagined MecMullin hand to his breast and heard him saying le had been shot; but the blood dnpping through his fingers on to the sidewalk #pecdily un- deceived him. McMuillin managed to ik up to the third floor, passing the merry company in the hall where they had beon feasting, and immediately bie tad Father Sullivan, of St. Paul's church, be sent for, THR PRIBST WAS S00N IN ATTENDANCE, administered the last rites of the Church, aud did his utmost to compose the mind of the man, who, to all appearances was rapidly sinking. After considerable time the physician, Dr. bert, ar- rived, and the wounded man stated he thought he had better MAKE HIS WILL. The document was prepared, bequeathing & oe amount of property to an addopte dat ger and signed by McMailin, After this he rallied a little, but was evidently in the greatest agony. ‘The room in which he was lying was almost empty and the floor devold of covering. His shoes were Temoved, and he wore only @ pair of gray pants arid & White overshirt. through which the bigod had pene- trated from the coflar to the waist. A consuitatiem of physicians, including the Surgeon-in-Chief of the Penasyivania Hospital, was held, and it was thought THE BALL COULD BE EXTRACTRD, ject was subsequently abandoned. Al- derman Devitt took his ante-mortem statement, which in substance is the same as the above, The sufferer was removed to bis own hovue, in the block immediately above, gbout three o'clock, ac- companied by several dy and the physicians. His mind was perfectly clear; in fact, he never for & moment lost consciousness, although the pain he endured was severe. He seemed, for the first time in his life, to fear that he was going to die. He was perfectly conscious of everything that was going on around him, and even took t in some of the conversation, He detailed the manner of hia being shot, and sald to Dr. Gilbert, “I would Just as soon thought yon would shoot me a8 him; I Was never more surprised He stated that he was repared for the worst, and besought the physician © tell him his true condition; that he was ready to Oe ue ete informed as to the exact state and in ad ion was told that it was pos- aible for him to'recover. To this he replied, “YOU'RE ONLY TRYING TO BOLSTER ME UP.’ There was but little bleeding and vomiting, the latter being such a# might happen after one’s _ taking heartily of dainties. He slept a short time and awoke with extreme pain, and avain expressed his fears that he was going to die, remarking that it was pale on Sunday that ne was reading an av+ count of his life, in which it was said he war born not to die by a bullet. The Evening Telegraph save :— When McMuilin attained the leadership of the “Moya,” he bent all his energies toward making it as formidable at the primaries and the polls as tt was at a conflagration and on the street. The Fourth ward soon became subject to its undis puted sway, and in 1857 MeMullin was, through the influence of his tellow-members, elected an alderman, At the expiration of his term he waa re-elected, and was again the regular can- didate of the party for the position at the ensuing election in October. But the “Moya” has not only been @ political power in the Fourth ward; ita influence has extended throughout the city, and at times been felt in the Stave Conventions of the party. There were quite a’number of republicans In the company, but the large majority of the members were earnest adher- ents of the democracy, and the influence of the Moya"? as @ company was almost invariabd! thrown in favor of the regular democratic candi- dates on the ward, city and State tickets, When the democratic party was rent asunder during the CLOSING YEAR OF BUCHANAN'S ADMINISTRATION, MeMullin cast his lot with the Douglas wing, and soon after the outbreak of the rebelilon he recruited & company of “Rangers” from the ranks of the “Moya” and his friends, and at their head did ef- fective service in Western Maryland and the She- nandoah Valley, Of late years he has figured promt- nently and influentially in all the councils of the party, being always a delegate to one of tne city conventions, and latterly to the State Con- vention. He was a delegate to the convention re- cently held at Reading, at which Hon. Charlies R. Buckalew was nominated for Governor, and con- tributed largely to that result, He was selected by the State Convention asone of the district dele- gates to the National Convention held at Baltimore on July 9, and acted as Vice President of that body in behalf of Pennsylvania. During the pro tracted and heated dixcussions of the delegatiom on the Presidential question he was a supporter of Horace Greeley and the “passive policy” in general. He has also held for some time past a piace on the Democratic City Executive Committee as represen- tative of the Fourth ward, and since the present rules of the democratic party of this city have been in force has acted as temporary chairman of one of oe nominating conventions by authority of that y MeMullin in a Critical Condition.
