■e Commit* a Rope tad Afterword*
Fotolly Slob* o Negro.
A gentleman who came up the Selma,
Rome and Daltou Railroad Tuesday
night, arrived in this city yesterday, and
informed us last night of a most atro
cious rape, committed by a negro hist*
upon a woman near Cave Springs, in
this State, a few days ago. He escaped
for the time, and made his way to Oroes
Plains, in Alabama. Before he arrived
there, he got into a fight and fatally
stabbed another negro near Sadiga. He
was pursued, and his retreat discovered.
One of the party entered the eabin where
he was sitting and remarked, “John, I
have oaughtyou/’atthe same time draw
ing his pistol. A3 he did this the negro
made a spring at the weapon, but his
oaptor was too fast for him, and he
missed it. He then picked np a chair
with the intention of killing his enemy,
and as he raised it to strike, the man
fired at him, the ball entering just below
the eye, aud ranging backwards, lodged,
as the negro says it felt, in the back of
his head. He was secured and oarried
to the depot, and as the up train came
along, was put aboard, where our in
formant saw him and learned the partic
ulars.
He begged his captors to kill him
rather than take him back to the
scenes of his first crime, preferring death
he said, to meeting the vengeance of an
infuriated neighborhood, as he said.
He is represented as a most fiendish,
daring looking black devil, and from
what our informant could hear from the
capturing party they were uneasy as to
the result likely to follow the appearance
of the prisoner in the community which
he had so foully outraged. The negro
was fully conscious of the danger, nml al
though wounded badly he closely sur
veyed the chances of an escape while on
the train. Attention was called to an act
of his in preparing to spring out at the
window, which was immediately letdown.
He was not bound, they considering him
too badly Wounded to escape. When the
party landed at their destination our in
formant was satisfied that his chances of
escape were very limited.

The District Court did a rather lively
business yesterday, and was a scene of
interest, owing to the slim show made by
the Mayor.
Mr. Authony Brown, a colored youth,
was accused of the fashionable failing
of
KLEPTOMANIA.
It is singular that people will persist
in believing our new-fledged citizens
guilty of indiscretions practised by their
white friends. Life will have its troubles,
however, and one of Anthony’s troubles
was this little case. He reminded his
Honor that the immortal Beast rode
into Congress on the strength of being a
successful kleptomaniac, and wished
to know if a negro had not as good a right
to what he could lay his fingers on,
plundering Federal General. This was a
poser, and his Honor got oat of it by re
ferring the matter to the jury, and the
juiy adjudged him guilty, and poor
Anthmy was mulcted in a heavy punish
ment. His Honor then assumed a new
role, and shone forth as a man who makes
TWAIN ONE FLESH.
He married a couple to the satisfaction
of all concerned. The happy bride re
ceived the congratulations of an admir
ing array of friends.
A lot of other matters were attennded
to, when the Court adjourned.
For Juallce of (he Peace#
This morning wo publish a patriotic
oard from Mr. E. R. SasseeD, declining
the use of his name as a candidate for
Justice of the Peace, aud recommending
his friends to vote for Col. W. T. Holder-
ness.
Mr. Sasseen is an old citizen of At
lanta, identified personally with almost
its entira history, and is highly esteemed
by our people.
In declining the race, ho has risen
above selfish couaiderations and taken a
patriotic view of the mutter which is very
greatly to his credit. He is satisfied that
Col. Holderness will make a Magistrate
who will reflect credit upoa the office, and
be honored by our people of all olossca,
and therefore desires his election.
We are plpased with Col. Holderness’
candidacy. We believe he is the only
candidate in the field. We know of no
other, and shall be gratified if no other
is announced, feeliug confidant that the
mantle of the ofilce could not fall upon
the shoulders of any one who would more
worthily or satisfactorily wear it
Th. W.lrr Melon Trad.,
We noticed « lot of melons at the es
tablishment of Pease A His Wife, labelled
for Cincinnati. Pease has so many con
signments that ho haa to ahip them a
long way off, and sell thousands ut home,
to get rid of them. His fruit staud in
the morning looks crowded, while in the
evening there ie not mnch of a show.
Our very near neighbors, Messrs. Pee
ples A Howell, htve taken apartments in
the H. 1. Kimball House, and have re
moved their office thither.
Cotton in thia market yesterday was
very quiet and weak at 19 cents. But lit
tle was coming in; scarcely any on hand.
Nsw York, Juiy 12.—(Jofernor
Huffman issued a proclamation vch-
tenlay that the Orangemen be protec
ted, whereupon the police superin
tendent, Kelso, withdrew the order
forbidding the procession.
The Orangemen appeal to the old
Know Nothings to reorganize.
It is understood that Oen. Mc
Dowell will co-operate with the State
authorities.
Circulars have been issued for the
formation of a Protestant Leufue of
America, wherein it is asserted that
the claims of Itoman Catholicism are
incompatible with civil and religions
lilicrty. If is understood that six
thousand have been enrolled for this
organization.
Yesterday batteries were placed at
most points where an attack on the
procession was apprehended.
There is more hone this morning of a
peaceful issue. Police aud military ar
rangements are oomplete.
The streets in the np-town districts
have the appearance of a holiday.—
Groups of loungers are to be seen oo near
ly every corner. Gangs of men—five
and six in number—may be noticed
going iu the direction of the Western
part of the city. Altogether affairs look
very threatening. The men in the mar
ble and stone yards along East river,
have nearly all left work, it is suppose il,
for the purpose of opposing the Orange
men’s |iaraae.
Rumors are rife that rioting is nr in
going on in the upper part of Nonlh
Avenue.
Nook—The much talked of and long
looked for riot commenoed about a quar
ter post eleven this morning.
lie-ports have commenced coming id,
the first report was from the 23d preoUKvt,
and was to the effect that tile mob hi id
collided in tire vicinity of Eighty-thied
street and Third Avenue, and were dri r-
ing the people from the streets.
Two hundred and twenty-five police
men were immediately picked out, and
under the command of Captain Hedden,
of the 16th precinct, were ordered to the
above point to disperse the mob.
The seoond dispatch was from the
Thirty-second Precrnct, and stated that
the rioters were marching through the
boulevard, and hod attacked the Italian
and Swiss laborers in vieinity. of One
Hundred and Forty-third street end
Ninth Avenue.
The Superintendent and General Shit
ler immediately held a consultation, and
oonoladed to send a regiment to that
point General Shaler immediately or
dered seven companies of the Seventy-
first Regimeut, to proceed to and guru d
that point
The last order had hardly been given
when another report was reoeived that
several Fenians had collected about tire
Fenian headquarters at Nineteenth and
Twentv-first avenue, where a large quan
tity o> arms are stored, and clamored
loudly to be given their arms.
Thts was refused and they threatened
to pall down the place.' About 260 offi
cers were put in stages immediately and
sent there. At the Fifth regiment armo
ry, iu Hester street, a large crowd had
collected and signified their intention of
taking the arms. There were about 100
men of the regiment in the armory, to
each of whom were dealt out forty rounds
of cstridgee.
This morning, seeing that the regiment
was prepared for an attack, one brawny
individual said : “Come boys, let’s go
down to the Seventh Word and get the
lads, and we’ll clean out the d—d
Dntch.”
A majority of the mob then started off
under the leadership of this man to get
the lads. Prince street is alive with men
speaking in whispers, who, when they
see any stranger coming, “keep silent’’
There was a report of a fight at Hiber-
uian Hall, but before the police reached
there it was stopped and all quiet.
The procession commences at 2 o’clock.
Firing bos been heard for the last hoar,
but no casualties reported.
A number of persons armed with pis
tols. knives end hatchets were arrested.
They had been drinking freely.
Nkw Yobk, July 12.—About a thousand
of the natives on Ninth Avenue furiously
attacked the Bwisa aud Italian laborers,
compelling them to qnit work.
About this time the uptown laborers
quit work, end were arriving in great
numbers.
About 1 P. if. the erod greatly increased
around Hibernia Hall, and demonstra
tions became so threatening that orders
were given to disperse them. A large
body of polio* booked by two regiments,
proceeded to the spot and met fistee re-
ristence. Clubi were freely used, causing
Several broken beads. The crowd grafi-
’***1^38* r. m.—All gangs marching np
town suddenly dispersed. This looked
ominous, the authorities judged their
intention to be to congregate on some
point on the rente of the procession.

I New York Brethren, Governor HoDman
I seat word to the Jersey authorities Warn-
1 lug the Orangemen uot to come to New
York and porada ts he could afford pro
tection only to New Yorkers.
After mnch delay the Orange prooat-
sion started, at half past 8 p. ft)., down
Ninth avenue, amidst oonfusion, crowded
windows and a dense maltitade. Their
strength nos only four hundred Thqy
moved off to the tone of “Had ! Colom
bia," with King William's banner and
as aoeompaniad by a crowd
of twenty-five handled. Several shots
were Orel from windows, ho nee-tope, from
sod behind tracks, onestriking oo officer
of the 7th regiment vfho immediately
levelled his rifle aud fired into tha erowa.
Thia appeared to be tho signal for a gen
eral fasilade, end the 8th rqgiment imme
diately fired inter the crowd. The 7th
end 9tb regiments immediately followed
unit—some firing indiscriminately into
windows, others, taking more deadly aim
end firing into the crowd of men, women
aud children, mowing them down in e
shocking manner.
The soene that ensued baffled all de
scription. Numerous crowds assembled
on the corners of bloeks adjacent to the
bloody scene in tha direction followed by
the police, who clubbed them unmerci
fully. The shrieks of women from the
windows were heartrending, and some
Irish women tore their bonnets and hats
from their heads, and waving them at the
military, oried, “Down with the Orange
men 1” The detectives, in the mean
while, were ljn«y olabbing and arresting
all persons having arms about them. .
Between fifty and sixty wete killed,
tnd eighty-two wounded by tbe firing of
the military into the crowd. The woun
ded were taken to Mt. Sinai Hospital.
Many legs and arms were amputated.
During the melee Colonel Fisk met
with a serious accident and retired. As
the procession went along the detectives
cleared the sidewalks, arresting all per
sons who had arms eonoealed.
Police kept clear passage. As the Or
angemen moved into Union Square they
were met with yells and hisses. On arriv
ing at Cooper institute, procession halted
and bivouacked. A vast crowd had assem
bled in the neighborhood. The military
and polioe fell bock on different orowds,
and managed by dividing publio atten
tion to enable Orangemen to disperse un

Col. Spenoer, of the 9th Regiment, wss
seriously wounded.
About forty dead bodies have been tak

there is supposed to be qnite as many

Miscellaneous Itrr
Nbw TohX, Jane 12.
Iu the course of his sermon st the ded
ication ul 8t.,l'uul'a Catholic Church at
llarlcm, Suuday, Archbishop McCljsky
alluded earnestly to the threatened Or-
augemeu's Uemunit ration on Wedueeday
night. He Haul: “We all know the dan
ger which threatens the community in
the course oi the .ensuing week. Tbe
newspapers have agitated it; rumor has
wafted u to our ears end even the dead
walls are placarded with lowering evil.
Everything tells us that a systematic and
combined effort is now being mode to ex
cite an auti-Catholio movement in the
community. The procession announced
to take place iu our streets on Wednes
day next, is intended by the participants
to produce the end spoken of. Therefore
I earnestly exhort every Catholio to be
ware of even going near that Orange pro-
oession on Wednesday next. I hope the
proper authorities will see the wisdom of
preventing it. With all my aoul I en
treat you, Irish Catholics, to moke no
counter demonstration of any kind. Do
nothing that would give your enemies the
chauce they count ou to divert to yon the
odium which those Orangemen will be
sure to bring upon thpmselvee. If they
be allowed to carry ont their unprovoked
programme of silly offunsiveneas unmo
lested, they are not worthy of recogni
tion. Even ns foes avoid them m yon
would uuy other pest. Let those Or
angemen utone; let them severely alone.”
After stating that should a oonflict occur,
the Catholio cause aud the Irish unme
would suffer, the Bishop continued: “1
warn all parents, husbuuds and brothers,
to go to their enjoyments and attend to
their urdiuury avocations as usual on
Wednesday next, and return peacefully
to their homes in the evening. Let Cath
olic mothers, wives and sisters, remain at
their liouicH and attend to thuir home du
ties, aud allow 110 unworthy cariosity to
draw them near UiiB Orange piooession.”

Bret Hartu’s experienoe at Cambridge,
before I'hi Beta Kapi>;i, is still tbe occas
ion of much tulk about town. He has
been roundly censured aud severely criti
cised in various quarters. But be has a
side to the story, u strong one, and one
which ought to bo told, liis friends as
sert that he was outrageously misled by
the committee of the society. He was
informed of his election as a poet some
time ago, and strenuously urged to oc-
oept, the point being dwelt upon
that he would have until midsum
mer to write it, and the statement
mode that Commencement was late
in July, the writer of the note for
getting, though a Cambridge man, that
U10 commencement time had been
changed from July to June. Bret Harte
accepted, but reluctantly, and after jii&
acceptance all communication with the
committee ceased ; no effort was made to
convuft the misapprehension regarding
the date of commencement, aud nolLing
was told him concerning the arrange
ments for the duy. A week or so before
Commencement he began his pc ,
having the impression that he had a
mouth before him. Happening in Bos
ton at this time, ho accidentally learned
wheu Oomuiuucuuiuut actually was, and,
as can be imagined, was consequently
immediately in an unenviable state of
mimi. lie hurried bock to Newport and
tried, in the few days intervening, to
finish his poem, but found it impossible.
80 when the day came, the Thurs
day after Commencement, he se
lected what he considered the best of
his unpublished poems und started for
Cambridge. Not being well acquainted
t 1 ;•«, ou arriving iu Boston he call-
cu ut, u ulead's and asked with much con
cern liow he was to get to th 0 college, und
what he was to do when he got there.—
The friend took him out in a carriage;
they reached the square just os the pro
cession was murching ove r the Green; the
friend caught a marshal, who hurried af
ter the Chief Marshal, who got the
chairman of the occasion, Richard H.
Dana, Jr.; the poet And tho chairman
were excitedly introduced, the former ta
ken into the procession, allowed to drift
into the church, flud a scat and look out
generally for himself. These were the
auspices under which he delivered his
poein. He did his best, however; read
his hues as loudly as ho could* which was
not at all loud ; got out of his dilemma
as easily its possible, and when he finish
ed, slipped out of a side door, hurried
into a '•ar and got back to Newport and
seclusion as quickly as cars could take
him.
