Oct. 16 —Mayor Hewitt has written his letter accepting the mavor- ship. In it he scathes Tammany Hall as a secret order, merely for spoils of office, and which, two years ago, was “over taken with spasms of virtues and saw fit to nominate him for Mayor.” He declares that he is for tariff reform, and will vote for the Democratic national nominees, but says nothing of the State ticket. He says he has never had any sympathy with the Know nothing move ment, and calls attention to the fact that he, himself, was the author of the resolution in the Democratic national platform in 1881 on the subject of immi gration, which was adopted without dis sent both in the committee and by tbe convention.

Birmingham, Oct. 16.—At 8 o’clock last night Captain Sharp and seven deputies left the city for Easley fur the purpose of arresting a gang of negroes who nightly assemble near ttie furnaces and make night hideous with their orgies. Tbe otti cers on dismounting from the train saw fully 150 persons scattered around the smouldering fires, most of whom were gambling. They made a dash for the crowd, and eaeti officer caught one man. The advent of the officers produced the greatest confusion among the negroes, and they scattered in every direction. The officers left Eusley at 11 o'clock. Just as the train was about to start the negroes opened lire on it. Several bullets struck the c >aches and buried themselves iu the timbers. The officers promptly re turned the tire, and fora few minutes a fusilade was kept up. A large number of the negroes were wounded. The officers shot straight into the crowd. The pris >ners were brought to Birming ham ut midnight and placed in jail. The M eyor and Board of Health held a meeting yesterday morning and resolved to raise the quarantine against Huntsville, Cullman, Hartselle and Hanceville, Ala., hut in the event of these towns not being quarantined against Decatur, parties de siring to come into Birmingham must have a certificate from the health officer that they have not been in Decatur or any other infected point iu twenty days. A party of five persons, whose names could not be learned, came up lasr night on train No. 4 of the Louisville and Nash ville Railroad from Jacksonville, Florida. They were traveling in an elegant private car ot the Savannah, Florida and Western Railroad, and were bound for Lmisville. The car doors were kept locked, so that no one was allowed to enter or come out from the car.

Chicago, Oct. 16—The inexperience of tae reference, the new gripmen resulted in the cables being broken in several places to-day. Twenty cars were started this evening in LaSalles Street tunnel, and just when the traffic is unusually ousiest. A riot occurred at North avenue and llalsted streets. Two horse cars driven by new meu were showered with scoues and nearly demolished by the angry crowds on the sidewalks.

London, Oct. 16.—The Whitechapel murders are likely to become a political factor. A debate involving serious issues for the Ministers will probably arise over the police, units* Mr. Matthews, Home Secretary,and Sir C. vVarreu,Commissioner or'the Metropolitan Police, are obliged to resign. The popular rage over the inca pacity of the police service, which has beeu revealed with damaging clearness iu the Whitechapel murders, will place the Government in a dangerous position. Tne Tory organs have now joined the Liberal newspapers in a clamor for the dis missal of both these officials, aud the subsequent reorganization of the police of London, uot as a semi-military force, but on a purely civil basis. The agitation has been consider ably fomented by the commission of the Pall Mall Gazette for inquiring into the circumstances of crime in London. The evidence already published proves that the metropolis is practically in tbe hands of a gang of criminals, and that stores and shops in the leading thoroughfares are robbed frequently in open daylight. Statistics printed of some of the leading streets show that 75 per cent of th i stores have been robbed within the past two years. The resident’s have ceased to ask the po lice for protection, finding that their ap peals are useless. Of course Lord Salis bury’s government is held to be largely at fault in this, and the voice of the com munity throws tbe entire blame upon them. hir trials of strength at the ballot box next Wednesday, when the primary election will take place.

Mr. Oates referred to the fact that he had previously offered an adjournment resolution, which had been referred to the Ways and Means Committee, and had never been reported back. After some further discussion, Mr. Breckenridge, of Kentucky, moved to postpone further con sideration of the resolution until to-mor row. which motion was agreed to by a vote of 23 to 21.

Blaine’s Assertion of a Corruption of the Committee. The following letter was sent to Mr. Ed win Taylor, of Evansville, Ind., Chairman of the County Democratic Executive Com mittee of Vauderberg county. It explains itself and gives Mr. Blaine a nut to crack: New Albany’, Ind., Oct. 13.--You called my attention to-day, as I was leaving Evansville, to the statement of Mr. Blaine in his speech at Goshen, Ind., in which he How He Celebrated His Birthday. Oxancock, Va., Oct. 16.—Boss Bailey, a order, It is recalled that, at the Cincinnati j white man residing at Savageville, iu the General Assembly, Barry presided over a caucus which dictated the election of every body’ except Powderly. Barry being then elected to the General Executive Board for the first time. The great fight was over the General Secretaryship, Robert D. Layton, ot Pittsburg, who is again a candidate, having refused to stand for re-election. The candidates were Fred Turner and Gilbert Rockwood. Barry ooposed the latter because he had been Layton’s as sistant, and secured Turner’s election. Powderly is aware that iu Pittsburg there says: “The President of the Sugar Trust, Mr. i . . . c , , . . .. , - Havemeyer, a well-known active Demt.-! 1? to oe h ' d , much information damaging crat of New York, appeared before the Barry, an- he is anxious to have it in his Ways and Means Committee, and, accord ing to the statement made in open Senate by Mr. Allison, of Iowa, obtained such an arrangement of duty as was equivalent to $6,000,000 in the pockets of the trust. If, therefore, the price of sugar had been un duly advanced to the consumer, the respon sible parties, according to the President’s doctrine, are the President himself and the Ways and Means Committee, who con- ; cocted the Mills bill in the interest of that ■ trust.” The statement of Mr. Blaine is devoid of the truth. Mr. Havemeyer never appeared ; before the Ways and Means Committee at all. He never obtained any arrangements by which $6,000,000 was put into the pockets of the sugar trust. The sugar possession for use at Indianapolis. Mr. Powderly states in his letter that Barry’s letter aud speeches are the effusions of a disappointed and diseased mind, and that he is now repaying kindness with the basest of ingratitude. They Are Use to It. New York, Oct. 16.—The Equal Rights party of the State of New York, which be- iieves that “the hand that rocks the cradle should rule the world,” in State conven tion at 156 West Twenty-third street, has nominated a full State ticket, with the ex ception of a candidate for judge of the Su preme Court, that place being left vacant. The candidate of the party for President, Mrs. Belva Lockwood, delivered a brief lower part of Accomack county, celebrated his fiftieth birthday yesterday by visiting a neighboring place called Little Hill, where he got full of liquor. Returning home he thrashed his wife, and having armed himself with a double-barrel shot gun, went in search of a negro who he said had insulted him. He found the negro plowing in a neighboring field and opened fire on him, striking him in the le f t shoul der, side aud leg, inflicting serious wounds.

The commis sion is particularly desirous of having a representative Government exhibit at the exposition, not only on account of the merit of the things the Government can count for. The ohartcr of tne bank re quired it to be mananaged by thirteen trustees. Only three w re elected, and they were J. O. Rutter, Thomas P. Tail- man and Albert P. Smith. As trustees or directors, those gentlemen elected them selves president, cashier and assistant cashier respectively, about ten years ago. The trustees then passed this resolution : Resolved, that all matters connected with the administration of tbe Traders’ Bank be placed under the entire charge of the president and cashier. After that the trustees never held another meeting, and supply, as proven by the New Orleans and bank had been run ever since by Rut Cincinnati expositions, but because it be- ler and .lailmau. lieves tout a strong Government exhibit from this country wiuld be especially gratifying to the French people, from the lac: that the United States is the only great power that has officially accepted the invitation to participite in theexposi- j tion.
