Will the simple feet that he holds office ele^ vate himself or bis veee? It gives him power. Yes; but how mach power-and bow long? A representative of the colored people oi this city Is Bailiff of Council, but will anyone pretend to say that he is better off than he would be were he employed in an equally remu nerative trade or business in private life ? Is his race generally in this city the better for his office-holding? Has it thereby been elevated or strengthened in its natural poei sion to tbe least degree? By no means.

It took our Saxon ancestors over 3(10 years before Cbey secured the first semblance of 4nglo Sa*on liberty, let alone the privilege of office-holding, at least as far as the people were concerned; and indiscriminate office-holding is not yet open to all classes of Englishmen.

Ö. at late One of Them Probably Fatally Injured— A Itlot at Tenth and Orauge—Statement of an Kye-Witness. ol back and are vtiir Rows have been frequent In the vicinity of Tenth and Orange street* f< r some time past, and the people In that neighborhood living in constant fear. The police make but feeble efforts to quell the disturbances aud in consequence are held In contempt by the crowd. On Tuesday evening last "Officer" Sherer stood by and watched two men beat Spencer Greenwood terribly, mak ing no effort whatever to interfere, being no doubt afraid of the men. The trouble last evening occurred In this wise: A crowd had congregated in the neighborhood of Nintk) aud Walnut and were ordered away by the police; they went, and about 10 o'clock they appeared at Ninth and Orange. The men commenced to sing and officers Black burn, McKendrick and Sherer went over to them and ordered them away. The crowd moved down Orauge street and commenced singing again. The officers again ordered them away aud Lewis H. Hamilton refused to go. Sergeant Blackburn caught hold of him without any intention oi arresting him, when Hamilton pulled out a razor aud attempted to cut the officer. A bundle of keys prevented any damage further than cutting the officer's clothes. The officer then took his blackjack and struck at him three times hitting him once. About this time Hamilton got up close to Officer Sherer and what followed is wild by a lady who was an eye-witness to the whole affair, window and saw Sherer draw his revol ver and fire twice in the air, twice widely ou each side of Hamilton, and twice be tween his legs; some one said that lost shot had more than powder in it. Hamilton then drew baek and exclaimed, ."Bill don't do that again." He the crowd and excllmed, clear the way I'm put this man's lights out; Sherer fired im mediately, the shot taking effect in his back. Hamilton groaned aud turned for home. This ended the row and the crowd dis persed. The people in the vicinity who were by the Gazette representative, corroborated the lady's statement In all the material points, and particularly In the fact that the tiring was started by the police. Several persons declare there were but 6eveu shots tired, and it appears, from 'the lady's state ment before mentioned, the all came from Shearer's revolver. One of the stray shots hit Moses Watson in the shoulder, Inflicting nothing but a flesh wound. During the melee adozeu stoneswere thrown by the crowd none of them doing any injury. Hamilton was shot twice, once in tne leg and once in the back. The shot which en tered the back, struck a few inches to the right of the spinal column, aud about six inches above the small of the back, and striking a rib followed around to tbe front aud near the navel. The wound was probed by the doctor,who was unable to locate the bullet, but is in clined to the belief that it is near the navel, from the fact that the patient is sore to the touch at that point this morning. A posse of officers went to the scene of the disturbance a few minutes after the trouble, but when they arrived the crowd iiad left aud the only one arrested was George Patteason, who was doing nothing whatever. The colored people in the neighborhood are very idnignant over the affair and severely criticise the officers, claiming that the mtu were not doing half as much as they were charged with, and guilty of no more disorder than the police had frequently smiled at before.

New York, 8ept. 86.— Great anticipations are entertained by horsemen o! the coming race between Jay Eye-8ee and St. Julien on Saturday. To-day at the Gentlemen*» Drlv Park, St. Julien got three exercising heats of a mile. He moved freely and grandly, but was not permitted to extend himself. None of the heats were trotted under 2.20. His groom represented him to be in fine condition. When a reporter for the Sun asked Mr. Vanderbilt which horse he thought stood the best chance to win, the owner of the champion trotting team re plied : "Jay-Eye-See ought to win wtth the speed he was shown. Hickok rqade the match before the young horse had won bio fast record." "What time do you think will be made!*' "I expect to see them trot in 9.18, plied Mr. Vanderbilt. "What Is your opinion of the effect of trotting the little horse again almost on the eve of the match Î" "I don*t think that trotting him yesterday and again to-day and then bringing him from Boston to-morrow will improtc chances. Bat, let me see, to-morrow J s Thursday. He will have two nights* rest. That may put him in shape/* David Bonner, president of the Driving Park Association, said that he expected to see a good trot when the horses come to gether on the 29th. "The contest will uu doubtedly be settled on its merits,** he can Hickok cannot afford to have $t. Julien beaten by a five year-old. Mr. Case and his family fairly worship Jay-Eye Sse, and he will undoubtedly he sent to win. The trial trot on Tuesday did Jay-Eye-See good. But another trial, which I hear they propose to give him to-morrow, will not im prove him. I believe the old horse cab beat him on this track, but not on a flat one.** Alley Bonner said: "If Jay-Eye-See keepï near St. Julien until he reaches the level around the turn beyond the quarter he*U beat the old horse, sure. But if he breaks, gets wild or gives St. Julien a strong lead beyond that turn, the veteran will win/' As Jay-Eye-See trotted' twice to the quarter pole in Pittsburg in 32)4 seconds be is not likely to be tardy on the down-grade start. ing T S on hlB tinued.
