The Washington correspondent of the Baltimore American writes: "A few Democratic members have re turned. -Those coming from New York city report that Tilden has folly made up bis mind to fight hard for the. nomination, and that he even hints that no other Demo cratic candidate shall carry New" York. His friends in that city argue tnat unity or. party cannot be preserved if he is ignored. Those who oppose him here agree that such unity cannot be obtained - by his nomina tion, on account of the bitter feeling of the Kelly faction. Ir is certain, however, that the Democrats returning from New York are Impressed with the idea that Tilden will have strength to force himself on the party, in spite of all opposition. The South has 138 electoral votes to dispose of. It will certainly have a good deal to say as to who shall be. nominated. A) man who forces hinY1- seif apoiAhe South will hardly be able to keep it "solid." But of that hereafter. If nominated by the wil ling vote of the Sooth ' it would be different. Charles Stewart Parnell, M. P.,the great Irish Land Agitator, was born at Arondale, county Wicklow, in 1846, and is therefore 33 years old; His mother is the only, daughter of "Old Ironsides," Admiral Charles Stewart, of the, American Navy. His grandfather, John Parnell, was Speaker of the Irish House of Com mons, and his great-grandfather was the poet Parnell, author of the cele brated poem of "The Hermit." Mr, Parnell was educatedat Magdalene College, Cambridge, England. The new comio opera of Gilbert and Sullivan, "The Pirates," accord ing to the Richmond State, "is a satire on the slavish subserviency of the police to the titled scape-graces of England in allowing them to com mit all sorts of depredations with impunity, for which other and better men would be roughly handled, hus tled into prison and punished." Nine of the negro "exodasters" from North Carolina have died of scarlet fever, and many others are sick. The rascals who beguiled the ignorant and credulous negroes to leave the Sunny South for the bleak winds and deep snows of Kansas, de serve to die of scarlet fever or any thins else that is bad. A Mr. Griffith, of Baltimore, lost? his life on New Year's day in at tempting to get off a street car.

The first offender called to the bar of tbe Court was a young white girl, who gave her name as Susan Johnson,' and who said she had entered upon her 17th year. It seems that there was a little disturbance in pro- gross in the classic locality known as "Pad dy's Hollow," about 12 o'clock Saturday night, which looked as if it might end in a free fight. Officer Woebse, of the pollee force, went up to the crowd, who proved to be mostly seamen, with the. view of dis persing them, when he found the girl in the midst of the noisy group, dressed a la "Bloomer," and evidently: tbe heroine of the occasion. Tbe crowd quieted , down, but Susan refused to be dispersed, and cursed and abused the officer; .whereupon he arrested her and took her to ihe guard ouse. In her statement to the Court she declared that she had forgotten the street she lived on. . It being her first offence she was told to "go and sin no more." Caison Yanorscn, proprietor of a house at foot of Mulberry street.charged with cursing and abusing Officer Woebse, because, as he said, he arrested the girl in tha "Bloomer" costume, was ordered to pay a fine of $10 and costs, the Mayor remarking that he was determined to protect his policemen from insult, &c. Defendant appealed, and was ordered to give a justified bond in the sum of $50 for his appearance at tbe next term of the Criminal Court. A sailor boy, with hair standing "like quilla upon the back of the fretful porcu pine," and who could not speak English well enough to tell his name was arraigned on the charge of being drunk and down, a dray having to be called into requisition to take him to the guard, house. As he bad been locked up since Saturday night he was ordered to be released on tbe payment of costs. John Hughes, Thomas Kelley and James Kelley, all white men, were next called. One of them was found fast asleep in the yard attached to Mr. James. Dawson's resi dence, and the others in a vacant lot. Upon beine questioned by His Honor, one of them stated that he came here from Nor folk, the other from Newbern. and the third that he belonged io Wilmington, while the two first named claimed to be seamen. . ine Mayor told the. two sanor tramps they, might go on condition that they Should leave the city within an hour, but they begged permission to ship on some vessel in port, and were remanded below for the present. The other offender was discharged. Utndiomc Taatimonlala. Quite an interesting incident occurred at St. Paul's Lutheran Church, yesterday, the occasion being tbe4 presentation by the Sun day school scholars of an elegadt Bible, bound in morocco and beautifully illustra ted, and a handsome gold-headed walking cane, with his name engraven on the head, to Mr. W. H. Strauss; Superintendent of the School. The presentation was made by Rev. Dr. Bernhelm, pastor of the Church, in a few appropriate words, which were feelingly responded to by Mr. Strauss in receiving the handsome testimonials of the esteem and good will of his Sunday School flock. .
