The Ottman Case.?The equitable- attach
ment suit of the Uoited States against the
estate of William H. Ottman, for the recovery
of monies alleged to have bceo stolen from the
Treasury and fradulently received by Oitman,
knowing it to be stolon property, by virtue of
which attachment certain stocks in the Ger
man B inking C<>., and iu the Alexandria
Marine Riilway Co., and a sum of mouey ou
deposite with the Banking Co., were seized
upon and held, was called in the Corporation
Court to day which time had been set apart for
tho hearing of the cause and whou it was sup
posed a motiou would be made on befalf
of the defendant to quash the attachment.
The Government was represented by ex-Judge
Wilson, U. S. District Attorney, L. L. Lewis,
and Col. M. D. Ball, and Messrs. Francis L.
Smith, of this city, and Richard T. Merrick
and II. K. Elliott, of Washingiou, were pres
ent, as attorneys for Oitman, who, for techni
cal reasons decliued then appearing as counsel
in the cause. The attorneys for the Govern
ment filed a motion under the Uoited States
statute to remove the cause to tho Circuit Court
of the United States, but subsequently
withdrew it for tear of complicating the
suit in the vexatious anomalies and intri
cacies now existing under the modes of prac
tice as prescribed by the laws of his State.
The defendant's counsel, for the present,
waived the motion to quash, and the case was
continued at rules, where it will probably re
main an indefinite time, or at least uotil it gets
io such a condition as to be susceptiblo of being
removed to the Uoited States Court.
Verdant Bridal Party.?There arrived
at the Maosion House yesterday afternoon, and
left on the midnight traiu for Fredericksburg, a
bridal party, the most unsophisticated, probab
ly, that ever stopped at that hotel before. It
coosisted of a bride, the groom, and a grooms
man. The bride was a pretty looking child,
not fifteen years old, who was neatly and taste
fully dressed, but the groom and groomsman,
tho gawkicst lookiug pair that ever left their
native heath. It was a runaway trip that had
been interrupted a week before by the father of
the bride, who had caught her at a neighbor's
liduse just previous to her starting oft, boxed
her jaws and sent her back home. But the
sccoud attempt had been more successfu'; they
had boen married in Washington, and weic on
their return to their home io Stafford county.
At seven o'clock in the evening, after they
had been sitting in the parlor of the hotel
for about an hour, the groom came down
to the clerk's desk; told the clerk that he'd
been up all the night before; that he reck
oned he'd go to bed, and asked for a room with
two beds io it, sayiog that the whole party in
tended sleeping in one room. The clerk in
formed him that such slecpiug arrangements
as he proposed were not io accordance with the
rules of the house, but that he could give him
and his wife one rouui and the groomsman
another, aud with tbat unsatisfactory under
standing he had to be contented, and do more
was seen of him uotil the servant called in time
to take the coach for the depot

Mulatto Waif.? A mulatto child, about
six weeks old?girl?was found lying upoo the
front step of the house of Mr. John Davay, on
St. Asaph street, ODe door north of Queen
street, about nine o'clock last night. 1l was
wrapped ia a blanket, and though its appear
ance indicated that it had not been cared for
properly, it was perfectly well and hearty, and
its lusty .^quails led to its discovery. Mr.
Duvey uot being at home, information of the
affair was scut to police headquarters, to which
place the baby was carricd this morning, by
JSully Carringtoo, a colored woman who had
taki n care of it during the night, aod, who
lives in the neighborhood. Several people, one
of theui a white woman, applied for it this
morning, but the Mayor directed that it should
be left in Sally Carrington's care uutil further
orders, aod that the latter be paid fur her ser
vices.
Bask Ball.?The match game of base ball
that was played at Fort Foot yesterday be
tween a picked nine of this city, whose names
were mentioned in the Gazette of that date,
and a picked nine from the garrison of that
Fort, was won by the former, the score stand
ing 27 to 2G. Alter the game the Alexandrians,
wlio were the guests, were hospitably enter
taiued, engaged in rifle shooting and other
sports, and at night were entertained at a ball
given to them, at which many ladies residing
in the neighborhood of the Fort were present.
The festivities closed at two o'clock this morn
ing, when the guests were rowed back home by
their hosts.
Police Report.?Affairs at police head
quarters this morning were unusually quiet,
the only thing that occasioned any talk beiag
an unknown baby that had been found on the
street, and that was put in charge of a colored
woman named Sally Carringtoo,umil some infor
mation concerning it could, if possible,be obtain
ed. II. A. VVciuskey, a foreign stranger, put
in jail while laboring under temporary insanity,
was released as ho had written a letter to the
Mayor, the contonts of which proved that he
had completely regained his senses.
Cow Wake.?Several nights ago some cows
slecpiug on the railroad track, near Colross,
were tub over by a train of cars aod killed.
Last night about twenty-five cows assembled
at the fatal spot aod held a wake over the blood
aod entrals of the slaughtered. Such bellow
ing, dust-tossing and goring were never before
heard or seen in that part of the city, and so
wild wore the maddened auimals that passing
trains had to stop and make tho train band*
drive them from tho track in order to save
them from being run over.
C. & 0. Canal.?The last monthly report
of the president of the Chesapeake and Ohio
Canal Company, submitted at Annapolis, yes
terday, is a good comparative showing. The
revenue accrued for the month of August was
$(4,635.38, an increase over August, 1874, of
$ 105,53. The coal tonnage for the month was
119,349 tons, an increase of 12,475 tons over
August, 1874. The total expenses tor the
month amounted to $25,368.77, and net reve
nue $39,266.61.

canal navigation that has been existing for
several days wa?, as stated in yesterday's
gazette, removed by the raising of the sunken
boat, but hardly had she been raised ere she

BY TELEGRAPH.
Foreign Slews,
London, Sept. 16.?The Madrid correspon
dent o*' the^'imed summarizes the circular of
the papa! Nuncio to the Bishop9 us follows : ?
The Nuncio claims the fulfillment of the con
cordat, which forbids the exorcise of any non
Cathoiic creed; requires the transfer of the su
perintendence over edueatiou to the clergy, and
pledges (he co-operation of the secular power
iu suppressing heretical teaching and literature,
lie says one of the causes of civil war is.the
way in which religious unity has been mis
understood by previous government*; for those
reasons, in view of these consequences, the lloly
See believes itself strictly obliged to present
these observations to the government. The
Times'correspondent add*: no doubt the presen
tation of this audacious claim at a time whim a
liberal cabinet has just beeu installed implies
a threat that if the government reject it the
blessing of the church will be definitely trans
ferred to Don Carlos aud peace retarded in
every possible way.
London, Sept. 10.-?A Berlin special to
the Times says: The recent successes of the
Insurgents render the continuance of guerrilla
warfare uutil spring possible. In such a ease
it will be difficult to restrain the Servians from
participating. Austria with an eye to these
contingencies has issued orders regulating the
supply of horses in the event of a mobilization.
London, Sept. 16.?The steamship jNcckar,
which has sailed from Southampton for New
York, took out ?28,000 sterling iu specie.

Louisville, Sept. 16.?A dispatch to the
| Louisville detectives reports the wouuding and
j capture of one of the men who recently robbed
the Huntington, VV. Va., Bank in broad day
light, of $10,000. The capture was made at Pice
Hill, Ky., by two resideuts, named Dillon, dur
iog Tuosday night. It seems the four men
who committed the robbery in Huntington were
pursued into Kentucky, the news of thcirfiight
being telegraphed ahead of them every day
with instructions to effect their capture. Ou
Tuesday word was received at Pine Hill that
lour robbers, supposed to belong to the James
Younger band, were near that place. The two
Dillons armed themselves and sat up at night on
the look out for the outlaws. At 12 o'clock four
men were seen by them coming towards their
home. They opened the door and asked what
they wanted. Only two men were now seen,
| aud without answering, they fired on the Dil
; Ions, but without injury. Shots were returned
and ene of the outlaws fell. At this juncture
the two others appeared iu the rear of Dillon's,
firiog as they approached, but without effect.
The Dillon's thou retreated to the house firing
as they did so. About a dczeu shots were fired.
When all was over three of the men had Hod,
leaving their companion, whose appearance
answers to the description of Cole Younger, the
Missouri outlaw.
Democratic Stale Convention.
Oswego, N. Y., Sept. 16. ?The Democrat
ic State Convention met here to-day, and was
called to order by ex Lieut. Gov. Allen C.
Beach, on whose motion Daniel Magoue was
made temporary chairman. In his address he
said tbe living questions that arc now before the
people of the several States for examination
and decision are to be settled in the year 1876,
paramount among which is the financial ques
tion, deeply alLciiug, as it does, every busiuess
interest. The evils ol the depreciated currency
under which the country now suffers, natural.y
flowed out of a departure from a sound inter
pretation of the Constitution, prohibiting the
States, and by implication, the general govern
ment, from making anything but gold aud sil
ver a legal tender.
Another Vacille Utiilroiid.
St. IjOULS, Sept. 10.?A mooting of promi
nent citizens was held at. ihe Southern Hotel
last night to adopt measures for calling a Na
tional convention, to be held in this city, tor
the pui pose of memorializing Congress to grant
such legislation as shall secure the construction
o( another railroad to the Pacific Coast, and to
consider means for the reduction of the cost of
transportation between the Atlantic and Paci
fic, the lakes and the gulf, and between the
Mississippi Valley and the Atlantic seaboard.
A resolution wus adopted to the effect that a
National railroad convention be held at St.
Louis on the 23rd of November next, and, that
the chair appoint an executive committee of
fifteen, with power to appoint a sub-committee
to carry the resolution into effect.
Colorado Election.
Denver, Col., Sept. 10.?The returns of
the election in this territory comc in very
slowly. Arapahoe county elects a majority of
the Republican ticket. The Democrats elect
one of two Councihnen and one of four mem
bers of the House. They also elect their
County Treasurer. Last fall this county gave
over 300 Democratic m.-ijority. The result in
the territory is doubtful, both parties claiming
the Legislature. The Governor has issued a
call for an election on the 25th of October for
members of the Constitutional Convention,
which will meet on the 20th of December.
The Republicans claim they will have a good
majority in the Convention.
Imlian Fair.
Muskogee, I. T., Sept. 16.?The Interna
tional Indian Fair is a success in point ot at
tendance, but the show of live stock is lessened
by the extremely hot weather. One of the
features of the Fair was the grand march of
the nations participated iu by the Chorokecs,
('reeks, Osatros, Caddos, Apaches, Comanches,
lviowas and Arapahoes.

New York, Sept. 10.?A fire broke out

destroyed that buildiog and the two adjoining,
Nos. 55 and 59, and damaged the rear of Nos.
