CURRENT EVENTS. THE ASSEMBLY. FOR SENATOR. tion of the opposition party and desiring that when the nomination la made we shall present tho strongest oan I dldato that we can find I move ai an amondmcnt that this Convention do now adjourn until next Friday evening at half past seven o'clock. i MTn George W.

Uarman moved as a substitute that tho Convention go into tho nomination of a candidate for Senator, BEERl'S BACKERS TO THE FRONT. Mr. Konncday, of tho Seventh Ward, said that ho belioved in the old saying, "Old men for counsel, and I young men for action," nd that was why ho oppoBod any adjournment. "Lot us," ho continued, "uavo a leader; wo neod him sadly enough. Let us take some action, wo need that sadly enough.

Tho delegates to this Convention have now been oleoted long enough to kuow who thoy want for Senator. The longer the nominee has to perfect his canvass the bettor are his chances of success. I como hero as the representative of a ward which ha regieterod more votes than any other in the city, and whioh last year polled mere Bo publican votes than any other, and we nek that the uoiniuation by made boro to day." Mr. George W. Harmor What we are doing here seems to be.

to follow tho programme which has boeu followed in all the Republican conventions which bave boen hold thiB year, I know what thoy aro doing. They aro watting to hour from the Htooutn Domocrata. I thiuk we can nominate a caudidate here to day with out waiting for tbem. If we have NOT A REPUBLICAN HONEST ENOUGH I to nominate for this office, we had bettor adjourn, not for a woek, but lor all time, I think wo arc prepared to make tbe n'omiuatlou to day. I Mr.

Charles B. Morton, of the Thirteenth Ward, do feuded Mr. McLsau from tho aspersions which had 1 been oast upon him. He bad conversed with somo of tho young men, and they were dividid iu opinion as to what action should be taken. There were numbers of young men throughout the district who wero not agreed.

Tho circumstances under which they met wero such ae to demand at their hands wise and oarcful 1 consideration. The district waa a Republican one, i and it was through lack of care and deliberation that it; had boon lost. It stood tho Republican party In hand to be oareful in whot they did, The speaker was satisfied that there was not any IUpnbllcau there who I would think for a moment of selecting a Democrat, whother ho was a Siocum Domocrat or any other kind. The delegation from the Republioan ward whioh he I represented wero not ready to make a ohoice thon. Ho hoped that tb.9 gentlemen who were so enthusiastic and I anxious to proceed would not press their poiut.

THEY CERTAINLY. WOULD LOSE NOTHING by an adjournment, and their candidate, If they had one, would loso nothing. Mr. Jones, of thj Fifth Ward, speaking for the 1 young men, said he and his colleagues had decided who Bhould be their standard bearor. He bopod the niotlou to adjourn would not prevail, for by doing so a trap would bo sprung to nominate a Democrat, and i he did not believe in it.

Captain Parkinson Baid that as a Republican of tho Twentieth Ward, ha for ono had made up his mind thoy Bbjuld nomiuate their candiJato to day. While thera soeruod to bo a diversity of opinion as to who was tho i boat man there waa no diHorsnco of opinion tbet the nomination should be made at once theu and thero. Thoy not only intended to mako tho nomination but I see that the candidate was returned on Bloction Day, and thoy wauted no ono but Republican. SPEECH OF SAM MO LEAN. I Mr.

McLean Buid, regarding some of the expressions wiiich had been used v.ith referenco to IuuiaoH. that it was unnecessary, ao far as those who Know luu w. reoou cerued, to reply to them, but to those who did uot know him it might be. That It was his iutnntlon of having 1 anybody but a plae.il iu uominatlon he loll thai ho noeJ not assure the Convention. He made laa motion to adjourn with thedcBirc that there shoulj be a uuauimous, boarty and determined declslou to a Ij omsider the matter, and wheu thoy again int to nominate the best aud strongest man they oonld And iu tho City of Brooklyn.

He behoved ho repro aoutsd a coiutituuuqy whioh iu its intelligence was us marked and iu its Rnpublicaulsm as firm as any ward iu tue City of Brooklyn. He bad been inBlruot I od by rho delegates from that ward to say that in their judgment tho interest of the party would be conserved by au adjournment. I make tho motion, said Mr. McLean, in the intercut of uo man. I have no leader here.

I have no man to nlaoo I It was with great difficulty that the Convention was prevented from admitting Mr. Coffey into full fellowship, his vote being 83 to 40 for Mr. Pell, a Metropolitan carpetbag gentleman who was supported by "the anti McDermott Re publicans" in the Convention. The latter were led by Mr. A.

W. Gleason in a speech whioh certainly contained some wholesome confession of Schroederism and its effects. We have traded wi6h the Democrat, until, God help us, we have traded away all our principles. It is the fashion to trade into the hands of the Democratic instead of the Republican party, nowadays." This was of a pieoo with Delegate Wiley's statement, when with infinite naivete ho declared "Tho Republicans are making themselves the laughing "stock of the Democracy." Too true, too truel The Democrats have more concern in the proceedings of this Convention than the Republicans. Those proceeding take the mask off from the Coffey movement." which has been a feature in the Twelfth and Sixth Wards for a year.

We venture to say that the appearance in a Republican Convention of the person who gives name to that movement and his appearance 'J not as a Democrat but as a Republican, ready," in tho words of Mb champion, to stick by them, work with them, and if need be die for will have an effect on the Honorable1 Mr. Coffey's constituents which even he will I be able clearly to understand. Well, one fraud tho loss exists from to day and' better work than driving it to suicide or slaughter oan precede no eleotion. The Second District Convention of tho Republican party was marked by an effort of the E. D.

Berri men, or alleged mon, to bulldoso hiB nomination for Senator. It was defeated through the revolt of tho Republicanism of the Heights and the Eastern District. As the nomination would be one unfit to be made, the adjournment of the Convention was really in tho interest of the respectability and reputation of the people of Brooklyn, irrespective of party. On that account the majority iu the Convention did Brooklyn a good service a service which the Democrats propose to requite by naming for the District a better Senator than the Republicans are able to propose, even as an abortive candidate. Mr.

tUo well's Loltor of Acceptance. Mr. Howell's letter accepting the Democratic nomination for Mayor of the city, was published in the Eagle last night. Tho letter is of interest rathor bb the utterance of the next Mayor of the city, than as that of a candidate for the office for there is no doubt entertained by any well informed persons that Mr. Howell will be elected.

No matter who the Republicans may see fit to present as their candidate, he will be handicapped by tho jobbery of the past two years, and will encounter that aversion at the hands of honest eitizenB which they feel toward men who have debauched the public service, and of necessity toward every one who represents them. Mr. Sohroeder has, if anything, in roqtilra a great srrotoh of memory the lima when It was my fortune to attend Republican conventions fof Ihe purposo of nominating Republicans to office, but it seems too fashion of those latter days to play into tha hands of tho Demooratic party instead of tho Republican party. I say here that In the cities of New York and Brooklyn wo have traded withDemocrats until, God help have traded away all of our principles. I protest against any adjournment of this Conveutlon.

Let us voto down the motion. Let voto down tho Oonfercnos Oommitleo. Let us nominate a Republican dyod in tha ooi. Lei us nom inate a man who will stand under our colors on eteo tion day, as our boys iu blue stood under tbolr standards In the field of battle. Applause.

You compromised last year. What did you get for II One Utile loaf and no ftshos. Whon tho oppofltion waut Into tho courts of law, that one utile loaf waa taken away. Colonel Cavanagb was oleoiod Senator two years ago. Why didn't ho get his Beat Because thore was NOT BACKBONE ENOUOH in tho Republican party of tho State to sustain him In the coutcst.

John C. Jacobs walkoi in, not by tho dtvluo virtue of votes taken from tho Penitentiary, tho Alnuihouso and the Lunatic Asylum, but by want of backbone in tbo Republioan party. You may nom Juato a Democrat, but bo will not get his Beat. Mr. McDermott (interrupting) Mike Coffey is not a Domocrat.

Mr. Gleason My friond has said we should fight the devil with lire. I say all right, but don't let us flght him with pitch. What Is tho purposo of tho proposed; adjournment? To plok up aa available Doruoorat. Let us nominate a Republican in a Republioan Convention, and then if wo go down we will go down with colors flying, I tell you tho greater quantity of ballots is not alwayB the greatest suo ci'ss.

We havo trafficked here nntil wo ought to stop. In three districts wo havo traded with Iho Democrats until it is of no use to nominate oindl dates. We eloct Republican Mayors to appoint Democrats to oihce. We hold Conventions to nominate Democrats. Why if we aro to do this we may as well go over to tho Demoeraoy and TO THE DEVIL AT ONCE and altogether.

Laughter and applause. Mr. MoDurmott aaid he did not propose that they should go down, but that thoy should go up and go In company. At this point three colored individuals in the centre of tho hall shouted at tho speaker, Oo it, suowhalll" Mr, McDermott, resuming hi remarks. sld ho did not disregard politics.

Thoy had no loaders specially In tlio Republican party. Every mau now had a right to speak. Thoy should appoint a vigilance committee before eluctiou to go to Polico Headquarters and soo whether Lansing 8tu(t3 tho ballot boxes. Thero was a limit to all frauds in tho pity. If wa had an honost man in tho oflice of District Attorney, half tho mon who nominated him for office yesterday would bo In Stato Prison.

Mr. Ltvtngtou was honestly olected Surrogato, but the ballot boxos at Police Headquarters were staffed. Did any ono ask him know It was dotic? lie would give tlio eaiue answer that Tweed did about tho water meters. Tweed told thorn to tako keya and go in at night and mako the metres register. That waa what Landing and his oo laborers did with the ballot boxes.

It was batter to have tbe devil they did know than tho devil they did not know. Thev wauted a man who would al them in redistriotiug tho city. Mr. Taylor said that at tho proper time the nsino of a Kepublican, a gentleman of hlqh charaolor and legislative oxporiouco, would be presented, Willoy, of tho Sixth Ward, said that when ho first came in, he thought it would tw a wise thing to adjourn. Sinoe ho bad Deeu there ho bad ohangol hla mind.

If he understood the objeot of adjourning, IT WAS TO NOMINATE MIKE COFFEY. Was he Democrat or a Republioan The speaker snp fiosod ho waB a Domocrat. There was a grave question regard to tbo propriety of nominating a Democrat. What wero thoy to get in return It Boomod to bo cither Jacobs or Coffey. Un dtdu't see where the Ra rmblicau galu was to b3.

Thoy hoped to get a Republican in tho flnld. If they aominatBfl a Domocrat for Senator he would go to work and get all his Domooratlo frieuds to come out and voto for him, and thon they would vote tho whole Democratic tlckot. The speaker was in favor of putting a straight Republican in ths fiold. They wore making themsoivod the laughing stock of the Demoeraoy, Tho RepuhllcauB wero acting as if they were afraid of tbolr own shadow, aud it waa about time they showed the enemy tbo party waB not dtsbando.l. Mr.

Sawyer remsrkod that eome of the delegates had promietd io bo homo to breakfast. He thought thoy should sco Bobs McLaughlin before thoy made a nomination. Laughter. Tho Chair put tho tuition for an adjournment and a couforeuoe comiuittoe. Tho roll wan called aud it waa declared cairiod by a vole of 40 to 'M.

Mr. Lees and Mr. Wihcy challenged iho voto amid the greatest tumult and disorder. The Chair ordered that the roll bo called again auvl requested Mr. Lees to assist tho secretaries.

Mr. Hamilton interrupted the roll oall and claimed the right to voto as a delegate from tiiu Sixioemh Ward. He was ruled out of order. Ou tho second roll coll, three members of the Twon ty flfth Ward delegation changed their vuicd Irotu tho atnrmativo to tho negative. The voto as aonouneod was 39 e.geinst au adjouru uieut and 3o in favor of it.

Ou motiou of Mr. Gleai the Co iventiou proceeded to nomiuate a caudidate for aenator in tho TLnd District. Mr. McDermott Ihi restt'f of tho last (ally. He thought they would have dine thro daya hence.

To themselves and to the people of Brooklyn belongod the prithoge of hein repretouted iu tho State Legislature by a representative man. Ho desired to present tho name of una who would represent tho jlr.st Interests of the city and the party. It he thought tuey could get a Ha Heal Republican Io repr. sent them he would favor one. lie preneuto.i tho name of Michael Coffey for Seuator.

A. W. Gleason B.iid ho arosi for the purpose of naming a Republican who had been a Republican all his life. Ho was gentieiuau of ability and good Republicanism. Ho uouiuiatol Stepheu Pall, of thu Twouty third War.l, whom, ho said, had ruu a few yc.tfri sua or tlu Assembly in the Ninth Distriot of New York, and imcause of his personal opularity bad beeoelectol saver il times iu tho dislrict where tho Demoeralri had majority.

part of the house, from whioh all traces had been removed and that the corpse was oar ried into the room in whioh it was found, and covered up in the bed by them to throw suspicion upon Kennedy. In support of this theory is the fact that the man had evidently been dead some time when Kennedy woke. Corroborating this is the intention of the defense to oharge Kennedy with the crime, and the story that Poyntz had slandered Mrs. Evans, who had threatened to kill him. It must be conceded, however, that the prosecution has a very weak case, and that it will be very difficult to obtain the conviction of Mrs.

Evans upon evidence of this character. The case.would bo one of extreme difficulty for competent detectives and keen lawyers to solve. The dense ignorance and stupid obstinacy of the average Long Island detective render it highly improbable that a verdict agaiust the woman can be reached unless the prosecution has somo surprising testimony in stoj. Tlio Wrath of a cbajplain As from the wrath of Achilles sprang unnumbered woes to the Argive hordes, so there is danger that the National Guard of the State of New York may be yet dismembered by the anger of a warrior not less doughty or ill tempered. If indeed by any lucky interposition of Providence the National Guard shall survive, at least the Twenty eighth Rogi ment thereof is doomed to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune.

It is impossible that this dire fate oan be averted, for the anger which threatens it is the wrath of the Chalohas of the regiment, who rejoices in the modern title of chaplain. It might be fancied by the vulgar crowd that a chaplain, versed in all the mysteries of creed aud dogma, should be a sort of Parson Brown low, equally ready with sword and sermon, accoutred with helmet and hymn book, with bayonet and breviary, ond so forth. But in order better to understand the tremendous conflict which must end in the destruction of the Twenty eighth Eegiment, N. G. S.

N. the reader must divest himself all such romantic thoughts. The Legislature of this Stato has provided that every regiment of its National Guard shall be spiritually as well disciplined as it is tactically, and for the attainment of this end has decreed that it shall havo a chaplain. Now, the religious belief of a militia regiment in tho aggregate would, under the most favorable circumstances, be of as complex a pattern as the famous garment presented by his parent to the youthful Joseph. To prescribe any limit, therefore, to the creed of the chaplain would be to traverse the prejudices, prodilections, or choice of a majority of the regiment.

Therefore, it is assumed that creed is not a necessary qualification for a chaplain. It is not even needful that he should be a bishop, priest or deacon, a pastor, minister, clergyman or even a lay preacher. All he is required to show is that ho iB a human Amerioan of the masculine gendor, It happens, therefore, that two regiments have exceedingly, haughty chaplains, spiritual humility not being exacted of members of tho National Guard. Not long ago the chaplain of ono regiment, practising his profession of lawyer, was retained to defend a client, which defense he undertook so literally as to blacken the eyes and spoil more or less tho other features of a deputy sheriff who ventured to arrest the client aforesaid. Such being the temper of the regimental chaplaiu, it stands to reason that he is as dangerous a man to affront as was his prototype, the Grecian soothsayer, whose precedence stung the son of Peleus to anger and the sulks.

It so happened that Chaplaiu Henry B. Davis, of tho Twonty eighth Regiment, has not yet received his Captain's commission, and at inspection his prosBnco in full uniform, new and gorgeous, attracted the attention of his Colonol, Sam Richards. Colonel Richards ordered all officers not commissioned to step out of the ranks. Now, for a young man enjoying the spiritual control of a regiment, not to mention a brand new Captain's uniform, to be publicly told to step out of the ranks, was enough to stir evory blood corpuscle in his veins and threaten him with acute congestion of the brain. A captain void of noble rage at such an order would indeed be useless.

Such was the wrath of Captain Davis that he became speechless, purple, apoplectic Modern civi lizotion, however, has provided a means of relief for bad temper which Achilles by the loud resounding sea was not wise enough to avail himself of. He went direct to Colonel Obernier, rlt the offioers' quarters, and commenced a speech which rose with all the majesty of a tempest till it reached a phrase sufficient to curdle the marrow in a disciplinarian's bones. He called Colonel Richards a "snoozer." It was a word of vague but dreadf id import. Its very vagueness gave it a Millonic grandour that crushod the offending officer, who instantly intermixed the speaker, only to be felled again, so to speak, by the powerful rejoinder that he was not a gentleman. At this, as might have been expected, Colonel Richards picked up what remained of him and staggered to the door, leaving an ominous silence aud a perspiring chaplain behind him.

It will be seen at once that Chaplain Davis is terribly in earnest, and that the retreat jf Colonel Richards was a wise strategic movement. The auger of Davis is not yet appeased. Before it down hecatombs of manners must be sacrificed. It is possible that ho will refuse to discharge his duties ns chaplain, whatever they are, until proper reparation is made. Ho may even place tho Twenty eighth Regiment of the National Guard of tho State of New York under a private interdict, refusing to minister to the sick aud dying members thereof, to bury their dead, marry their sons and daughters and baptize their infants.

Indeed there soems to be no limit to the danger impending over the doomed organization. It has been suggested that the only safety possible lies in tho suspension of the chaplaiu before he begins to put forth his irresistible ecclesiastical powers. success, if their own papers are to be believed. In the Utica District the Roberts to talk plainly, threaten to give tho election to the Demoorats bo causo they do not like the way in which the Senator has trodden on their corns. The Conkling issue divides tho Republicans in tho Oswego District and in the Jefferson District also, the latter having been corriod by Senator Starbuck, Democrat, before, and he having wisely been renominated.

Like dividing causes penetrate the Otsego District and the Democrats expect "to hold their. own there," it now being represented by David Loomis, a Democrat. We have contented ourselves with ''Truth ful James' plan, and "state but the facts." A Demooratic Legislature is well nigh assured. That? one ought to be elected, in order justly to reapportion this State, we think no thoughtful citizen doubts, whether he has the conscience to reinforce his conviction with his ballot or not. Nou reappor tionment for two years was a capital offense.

It wa6 a flagrant violation of the Stato Constitution. It was a disfranchisement of over half a million voters from representation. It was an imposition of unjust taxation on these cities. These facts the Eagle has made too clear for auy man to doubt. Moreover, the Governor needs a Legislature to be with him and not against him.

The interest of the State demands it. We think voters throughout all the counties realize this and that the results will show that thoy do on the second Tuesday in November. Our Lbcal Orators on Jlicir Mettle. ilIcDeriuott and IcTLr.uu. The old fashioned Republicans of Brooklyn can hardly be otherwise than ploasjd to see that, when they choose to retire from active service, their places will be filled by a class of young mon, fiery in their zeal and uncompromising in their devotion to principles.

The issues before the people now are comparatively tame compared with those uudor which tho middle aged Republicans of to day hot blooded young men then rallied, over twenty years ago, around the banner on which was inseiibed "Fremont, free speech, free soil, free mea." With such a cue for action as was then presented, we can imagino only faintly the zoal which would have been displayed by such a young and stal worth representative of modern Republicanism, as yesterday spoke for the old Town of New Lotts in the Republican Senatorial Convention for the Third District, and in advocacy of tho Hon. Michael Coffey, as tho Republican standard bearer, on a weak but most important point oa the local lines. We regard the struggle ma le by the Hon. James McDermott, in advocacy of Mr. Coffey yesterday, as ouo of the most remarkable in the records of popular assemblies.

While there may bo Republicans in Brooklyn who will be disposed to doubt that Mr. Coffey would in all respects adequately represent them, thoy still mu3t be greatly moved by the gallantry of tho struggle made by McDermott, yesterday, for his friend. It was said of O'Connell, that in a single speech ho frequently touched every sympathy of the human heart and very motive that controls the actions of men. In a degree, all this may bo said of the combined orations by which McDermott electrified his Republican associates yesterday, until at last it was seen ho hi.d gone so far toward carrying the Convention that the Hon. Michael Coffey, of the Twelfth Ward, was defeatod by but thirteen votes in a Republican Convention as tho Ite publiean candidate for the coverled oflice of Stato Semtror.

In the Republican Convention in the Second Sam McLean, of the Tiret Ward, exhausted all ihe masculine vigor iu debate which is so freely conceded to him iu trying to carry so sommonplaco a resolution as a motion to adjourn to a duy named, aud yet he succeeded by but six majority in a Convention of seventy members. Had our friend McLean so difficult a task, as that which the gallant McDermott so cliivalously essayed, will McLean's warmost admirer say that ho could have reached so near success On the other hand, if McDermott had appeared in the Second District Republican Convention demanding simply tho negative action of a short adjournment, there is no doubt but that the task McLean found so dffi'jiilt would have been child's play to his eloquent co laborer, McDermott. Mr. MeDermott's contribution to the debate in the Republican Convention yesterday can be studied with advantage by all who as2 iro to success in moving popular bodies. He began by dispelling the gloom which one Cadmus had thrown over the Convention, by asserting that it was overwhelmingly Democratic.

"Not thundered McDermott, in his own unique phraseology, "the district is ovor whelniiugly doubtful." Mr. McDermott then went on to conciliate the good will of his audience by placing in a not new, perhaps, but still a lurid light the machinations of tho local leaders of the Democratic party. In his zeal the orator was carried, perhaps, beyond the properties of debate, for hj "named names" and boldly charged that the arch malefactor, McLaughliu, counted in his nominees "to tho tune of eijrht or nine "thousand," a statement which must have aroused great curiosity, in view of the fact that the Republicans have had for several years past control of our ballot boxes. We know of nothing finer iu its wny than the close of Mr. MeDermott's speech, when, meeting the possible objection that might be urged against Coffey by the.

Republicans, ho thuudored forth that axiom which has gathered around it, iu ono way another, the concentrated experience of ages and of many lands, "Better have the devil you know than tho devil you don't know." Mr. MeDur mott was temporarily defeated yesterday, but the party which numbers such a man amiug its champions, will never find its "mission" ended. Local Senatorial Conventions. 'The readers of the Eagle, Democrats aud Republicans, will do well to take our advice and road the reports or the Senatorial Conventions, printed in another column. Tho Third District Democratic Convention renominated John C.

Jacobs. Tho Third District Republican Convention nominated a Mr. Pell against Mr. Jacobs. The Second District Republican Convention adjourned until Friday night.

These results were reached aftor debates aud events which are interesting and important to tho citizens of Brooklyn. The renommatiou of Senator Jacobs was unanimously made, and it was reached through a series of orderly and enthusiastic proceed ing which must bo gratifying to him and which wero certainly creditable to the party. The speech in which he accepted tho honor is a fair exhibition of the incisive and brilliant ability, the consistent politics and the manly character of the gentleman. Mr. Jacobs has been for several years the leading Democrat in tho State Legislature.

His influence in that body is paramount. His influence throughout tho Stato is second to that of no Democrat of his age. It is an open secret that Governor Tilden and Governor Robi fl have had in him an associate, advocate (4i I counsellor of great value to the welfare of tho Empiro State, and to the grand reforms which havo advanced and enhanced that welfare. Mr. Jacobs' return would be a unanimous vote, if the voters of the Third District had that respect for leading men and that common pride in what makes theirs a notable and honorable District in the State which ought to exist among thorn.

Let readers turn from the proceedings of the Third District Domocratic Convention to those of the Third District Republican Convention, and read the doughty debate on the Republicanism incarnate iu "Mike" Coffey and magnificent in "Jim" McDermott, and that which was gritty and grewsome in Captain Gleason. The report is as good as a play and a deal better than any play at present on the boards iu either city. The Honorable Mr. Coffey was commended to the Republicans as "a Democrat who had promised to act "with the Republicans, if elected, in redis "trictlng tho city." That promise must havo been intended for currency in the Twelfth Wi.rd, and in tho Third Assembly District. Only the day before Mr.

Rev. Dr. Kempshall presided. The appeal of Rev. Mr.

See from tho deliverance of the rresbytory on his Higher Life Doctrines, was declared to bo Ibo order of the day. Mr. Soo's appeal from tho action of tho Presbytery is baaod on his claim that the Investigation was purely a fraternal inquiry, and not such an investigation as justified a decreo that its only legitimate issue should havo been the tender of advice to tho parties to the controversy, and not a judiolnl finding. The whole of the session was consumed in reading tbo sta'omonts on both si'Jes of the question. The case of tbe Rov.

John Miiler, charged with having published heretical views was to have boen taken up during the day, to day. The session of the Synod will last until Friday. At the mass meeting on Monday night at Stcinway Hell, New York, tho President, Mr. 8amuel D. Babcock, tn his address, stated that the permanont debt of the City of Now York wns $120,000,000.

Comptroller Kelly has taken exception to the statoment. Ho shows from the report made to the State Senator in January, 1877, that the bonded debt of the city on December 31, 3870, ws $110,632,313.33, from whioh is to bo deducted tho amount held by the sinking fund, $28, 179,102.79, leaving the actual permanent debt only $91, 462,210.49, instead of $120,000,000, as stated in the address presented at tho meeting. Mr. Kolly thinks that If there is auy further question of the facts, or any doubts upon the subject of tho amount" of tho city debt in tbe mind of any gentleman of the Committee, the members should eeloct a comnnttoe or oiprts and trustworthy representative men from among thoir number to examine thoroughly and render to tho publio a report in exact dotail of tho condition of tho city debt. Frank Edsall, aged 15 years, son of Mr.

K. E. Edsall, of Hamburg, Sussex County, N. left his home for Now York City, where he was attending school. Arriving in New York ho went to the St.

Nicholas Hotel where be suddenly and mysteriously disappeared. Search was subsequently instituted but no traco of hi! whereabouts could be found, and having considerable money with him, it was feared ho had been foully dealt with. Tho police of 'New York searohed unavaillngly for him. A few days ago, Mr. Edsall re.

ceived a letter from his son, which was post marked London, England. In tho lottor the boy stated that ho had suddenly and without forethought resolred to board tho steamer for England. Ho reaobed London almost penniless, but did not state what had become of tho large sum of money he bad wbon be left home. He plead earnestly for his father's forgiveness, and asked for money with whioh to roturn. Hia requests have been complied with, and his early return is expected.

Mile. Erminia Venturoli, whose unfortunate condition has been made known to the charitable people of New York by repeatod notioes in the newspapers, was made tho victim of a wretched swindle a week ago last Sunday. She was visited by a wall drosaed man, who spoko Italian fluently, beside Fronch and English, and represented himself as tbe agsnt of the St. Antonio Society, an Italian association, organized for the relief of the Italian poor. Ho gave Mllo.

Venturoli a check on the Chomlcal Bank of Now York for $10, algned "Martin Tripoli." He further gave her a card of tho Young Men's Christian ABsnolation, on the baok of which he wroto an order for $10, signed "Shark," and said he would send them coal and flour, and demanded $1 for cartsge. All the money Mile. Venturoli possessed was a $2 bill which she gave him. He took the bill and went out, promising to return tho change. He has not been loon since.

The check, of course, waa spurious. The condition of the UDfortu nato woman Is not improved, and sho lacks proper medical attention. The cigar makers' strike in New York is to some extont succeeding, in that ono establishment, Hlrsoh St employing ninety hands, has consented to accede to all demands of tho strikers, and the men went to work to day. The loading men among tho stnkora declare, and many manufacturers fear, that othor branohes of trade will Join them in a few daya, and that this Is only the beginning of the largest strike ever known In New York. Tho strike is noticeable for its perfect organization, its steadiness and quietness and the widespread sympathy it has crested.

The Cigar Association yesterday gave to tho public a statement ol tbeir condition. An extract from it 1b to this effect: The operatives are divided Into six olasses, the lowest class being the atrippers, composed of boys and girls from fourteen to seventeen years of age, who earned from $4 to $9 per week, while the hlgheit class, men and women on band made Cigars, earned from $10 to $18 per week. The packets, a separate class, were earning from $18 to $38 per week. Those wageB are leas than those paid up to 1873, but the reduction has not been eo great in this as In other branches of trade. No great skill or bodily labor is required.

The men are not exposed to the weather, and there are no interruptions on account of the seosotis as In many other trades. Tho members of the Association believe that the rates of wages psid by them are higher than those paid for the same class of labor, and that they are more steadily employed. In the tenement hooao system the rents are the same as In other houses of the same order, from $7 to $12 per per month, according to location and the number ol rooms. All the material for making the cigars 1b delivered at the houses, and the system was adopted with the object of benefiting tho operatives and at their request, as the cigar maker claimed ho could do the full amount of work and attend to household dutiea at the same time. The average wages of man and wife are from $14 to $25 per week, according to the work they choose to do, as they are paid by the piece.

Tbo experience of tho manufacturers is that the health of the workmen is better under this system than when they are employed in ehopa. In conclusion, they state that tho men now on strike hare shown do discrimination between the manufacturers who paid their workmen the most liberal prices and those who paid the lowest wages, bst had asked the same advance from all. They emphatically declare that the wages are as high as tho market wlU justify them in paying. Previous to tho strike 8,000,000 of cigars wero made weekly in Now York.

SPEECH BY HON. JOHN O. JACOBS. Mr. Jacobs waa escorted to tbe platform, when tho Chairman iuformod him of the action Just taken by tho Convention, and "throe cheers" were givou lor "tho noxt Beuator from tho Third District." Mr.

Jacobs said Mit, Chairman and Gentlemen of thk Convention When I recollect that tuu years ago in tins town 1 wiib first placed iu nomination sucosful nomination for tue position of member of Assembly, uud when I reflect that duriug that long period of years I have every year hoon returned to tho Legislature to sit either iu ouo branch or ths oth.r, I hardly know bow to expresa my thanks to my frion le who have so flrinly stood by me in my public oaroer. Applause. To Say I appreciate tho honor you have dono me to would oerluiuly but feebly express my feelings, bo C'lusebut few.rueu havo servedfaud served con ecutively for 80 long a'perio i as 1 have, I think I may safely say to you Mr. Chauinau, to you gentlemen of the Couveution, and to you my frieude outside the Convuntiou, that during my tcu yoars of eervico I have not boon found unworthy tho confldonoe placed iu ine. Loud applause aud "Gojd boy, JacobVl Thut 1 have made enemies ia true, hut there fa uo public man who laithf ully srrves his party ond his constituents who doos not make onemies, aud among tho forty or fifty thousand voters there must be somj who are disappointed, but I uevor betrayed either Iny friends or my party.

Loud applause and cheers. Now, in eutorlug upon this campaign allow me to say, what you know at every olectiou, that there has never been a more important one than this, aud for this reason The Legislature is about to be, in my Judgment, Dem ouratto, and I believe the Senate will be Demooratic, aud wn have a duty to perform in undoing what tho Republicans of thiB Stato havo boon doiug tor us for the last twenty years applause, aud the view I tako of the matter is that a Democratic city and a Domocrstio county must bo controlled by Democrats from top to bottom. Loud appluuso and cheers. I don't believe iu tuose I'uiumifiskUH which give out) half to ono party and tho other half to auother party but I believe that tho majority should rule, and if ouo oarry tho Legislature, as 1 think we certainly shall, let us turn everything over to our own party Loud aud long applause, I ask you to lUbldor what our eueiules propose to do thoy are proposing to disfranchise of the voters of this Slate. I rocintod it to the best of my ability durmg the lost session of tbo Legislature.

What is tuat Constitutional Amouduieut they are ao auxtous ub. mt It is a proposition whioh. if adopted, would disfranchise from voting for any municipal olHcBr. I might he elocted.to the Sonato aud hold my seat there and on coining buck to Brooklyn Gud I could not vote i evon a ward constable. In what huerosi do thoy urge ite adaption 7 It is in tho interest of the rich against the poi it is iu the interest of the mon wiio never have boon true to the interests of tho majority of our peoplo.

Tbey would dislrau chlse men because, forsooth, they may not le large taxpaj era or ront payers. Why if that measure should bu adopted thoy would dtafr.tuchise half lha clergymen iu this State; thoy would disfranchise all th school teachers; they would disfranchise half tho iu your stores, aud a very large elotpent com pt.BOd ol tbe lust and moBt inteliiient men in evory largo oity. And yet this Republican paity which ia now so anxious to disfrjnehise tho man, hut a few years ago voted to enfranchise tho ignorant negroes of the iHh. When this question was being debated in the Seriate, I put that to thorn ond asked why it was that after giving the uegrooit the right to vole, nrhoth er diBiranchisiny the white mau wrs consistent with their principles of "etjuul rights for ail men," and thoy could not answer mo. Applause 1 know tuis is douo in tho iuteret of a cLque of bankers aud brokers in New York, who Seek to cuutral all our local concerns for their own benefit, and not for tho welfare of the at liirgf.

There is another oiips tion of great importatloe which will ooiue before tho next Legislature. I ahiid' to the labor question. It ia somothing toirible to think of that while the United States is exporting about ono hundred millions of bushelB of gram to teed tho nations ol the old world that white men aro Btarvlng on our streets. This will be a great question, and 1 Bay hero and that all the army of tho United States and all the national guards In the State will never, uover deprive thoao starving mon of ie right to talk. Applause.

I don't believe, any Commuuistio dootrines, and would not advocate them in any way, but I say when a country is so rich as ours, when wo can raise grain enough to feed the wholo world, It is a crime and shame to know that these hard fisted sons of toll aro starring In our Btreets. Applause. The wrong has been in tho legislation of tbe past, this Is the result of their olaas legislation, of which I spoko, but I believe if the Domocratic party gains the ascendancy in the State, which it has In the United States, that we can meet that question. Applause. Thou there is another question to bo conBidered, and that ia the apportionment question.

We are now entitled to three, and shall soon be entitled to four, Sonators from tbls county, and yet under this Republican rule New York and Brooklyn, which pay three quarters of the taxes collected by the State, are allowed but ono Htth of the representation, and that is all because a Republican Legislature refused to make that obange which the Constitution of the State enjoined upon tbem. Bnt I tell you the people are not blind; thoy are generous, and will see that Justice Is done. Applause. Now, my friends, I bave already talked too long, aud I oan only repeat what I aald before I thank you for the great honor you have done me, and, if eleoted, and I trust I will be, I will endeavor to do my duty by you In the future ao I hare in the past. Loud applauso, and "Throe cheers for John O.

Jacobs." Republican Nomination for Senator In (lie Second District.

Tlirouffhout tho Slate. Throughout the State the Democrats npponr to bo in much better form thnn the Republicans. The differences in the former pnrty have been healed or waived. Those in the totter party have intensified. The Democrats nro running against the Republicans.

Tho Republicans are running against one another. Tho Conkliug and anti Colliding factions are good deal more intent upon tho contest between themselves than upon any warfare on "the common enemy." On the contrary, the Democrats now have no personal rivalries. The continuance of Govomor Robinson for two years more gives them the great power of the Executive office. Tho State ticket nominated by them mingloo tho elements of tho party and represents them all. The nominees have freiikly and openly pledged themselves to stand by the Governor's policy of reform.

Their election in any event would compel them to do so, just as the ohoice of their opponents would be a rebuke to tho Governor and tho investiture ot the auxiliary powers of the State government, in men who would be disposed and required to antagonize Mr. Robinson at every step. This is the simple fact in the case. It is a fact that voters very woll understand. Their self interest and their sense of what is right will control the ballots of men this year.

Both theeo considerations are a great deal mora potential in the public mind than tho professional speakers and the hack writers of organs allow for. Lucius Robinson is doing excellent work. He should be supported in it. Tho way to support him in it is to choose for his associates men of tho party he represents, not rneu of the party ho is opposed by. We will make no chauga and take no risks." This is tho matter of fact solution of the situation in the public mind.

It is a solution much more plain and true than the platforms, speeches and editorials which have been multiplied for the attention of the people. Such a conclusion is also strenglhud by tho spectacle our Republican fri jnds present. They are letting their State ticket severely alone. Their candidate for Controller declined the nomination, Over five days elapsed before a substitute could bo fouud. Numbers of Republicans had to be solicited to allow the use of thc ir names and thty refused.

The nomination went a begging all over the State. Finally a Mr. 0. R. Luddington was put up after a thluy that showed as clearly as anything could show the complete hopelessness and c.b solnto weakness of the party.

Since then there has been no apparent effort put forth by fho pnrty papers on behalf of their ticket at all. Tor all that Brooklyn Republicans know to tho contrary Churchill lnr.y be the man who struck Billy Fatl may be the Nathan muiVUrer, Soule may be (he person who has Panormo's wiitch and Luddinglou may be the person who offered the World a cheek on tho Bank of tho East River, with which to bring over the other Needle. Remarks about (iiesu gentlemen being "well kuowu," ''coni "patent," "unobjectionable," "true and "tried Republicans," and all that sort of thing are biinply meaningless to readers. 'Who in thunder are these follows, "any way?" is what the Republican voters ask, and no one can give them any information, exoepf that Greuville Trainable is said to be over twenty one years of age, aud that Howard Soule, has been put on his defense as a canal ring Engineer on the Syracuse and L'tiea division. The Republicans have evidently abandoned Stute ticket altogether.

The way the parties are sparring on the Senatorial nominees is quite as suggestive of the situation throughout the State as tka general ticket itself is. The First Senate District is comprised within Queens, Suffolk aud Richmond counties. L. Bradford Priucc carried it two years ago. Hon.

John A. King, of Jamaica, had it for two yearn previously. Both are Republicans. Both succeeded through Democratic divisions. Mr.

Prince was emphatically the strongest man whom the Republicans could have nominated. He has been loft out of tho field. Ex Assemblyman Oakley was emphatically the strongest liuA whom the Democrats could have nominated. He is the nominee. The Republicans have, as a matter of form, nominated a Mr.

Otis, a resident of the City of Now York, who does not reside in the Dislrict, and he is opposed by every Republican who believes Koscoe ConkliDg to be a manly man and George William Curtis only "a thought ful woman." It is unanimously conceded on both sides that Mr. Oakley will be elected. In the Second District Republican Convention here last night, tho Republicans divided into two camps, one headed by E. D. Berri, a repeatedly repudiated ring politician, and the other headed by Mr.

Samuel McLean, a respectable gentleman, whose solo and high purpose was to protect his party and society at largo from the spectacle of running an intellectual feather weight and a creature of a bogus "gas as a proposed law maker for the people of an intelligent and respectable city. Mr. MoLoan was temporarily successful by a slender majority, and an adjournment was carried until Friday night. Nothing, however, conld better illustrate tho low estato to which collective and delegated Republicanism has sunk than the fact that its conventions have to be protected from such programmes as were chalked out for them, last night. The events in tho Third District Convention of the two parties hero are referred to elsewhere, but it is sufficient in this summary to say that no one entertains any doubt that Senator Jacobs will be returned to his position as, on tho whole, tho foremost member of the higher branch of the State Legislature.

New York City Republicans themselves expect to elect not one of the seven Senators from the Metropolis and no Republican will hardly bo in the field over there at ali. that party making what it considers a choice of evils between two kinds of Democrats. An intelligent correspondent of the Sun newspaper has made a tour through the interior or rural counties of tho State. He reports in that journal to day that the Democrats have by far the best chances to carry tho Erie (or Buffalo) District, the Cayuga Wayne District, the Oneida (or Utica) District, the Horkimer Otsego District and the Oswego Madison District. The reasons the correspondent gives for these statements of his take into account the bitter fouds within the Republican party ou the Senatorial, or Conkling and auti Conkling question, aud the unity, confidence and supciior cause of tho Demoorats.

The Pough keepsie, Westchester and tho Albany Districts, as well as tho Troy one, are likewise contested agaiust great odds by tho Republicans who hold them now. As a Republican majority of but six in the Senate has to bo overcome, the gain of four and the holding on to the seats they had last term would give the Democrats majority, while a gain of three would tie the Senate and give it to tho Democrats on the casting vote of tho Lieutenant Governor. Thera is a very strong reason (leaving Brooklyn and New York out of tho account) to expect that the Democrats will "redeem" the Long Island District (indeed, that is a certainty), tho Poughkeepsie, the Albany, the Erie and the Oneida (or Utica) Districts. This would give them tho Senate with two votcB to spare or even two seats to loso. At the Baine time the Westchester and Auburn Districts are much more likely now to bo Democratic than Republican Mr.

Ilobnison having run too long in tho former and Mr. Woodin being revenge in the latter. In the Poughkeepsie District, roferred to, Mr. B. Carpenter, a strong Republican, haB declined ronomiua tion, under circumstances depressing to his party.

In Albany the Republican candidate, Ham Harris, has been badly smirched by Tweed aud the Democrats and the wdrking inen have unitedon a gentleman who will very likoly be elected. In the Buffalo District, Senator Sprague has refused to run again, and the Republicans have tun a patent medicine man named Pierce, with no hopes of in nomination. I como hero with no plodgo for any individual, but I coine here to consult tho wisdom of thu.e from all parte of tho Distriot to kuow who the beet man is for the nomiuucion. I bolteve tho interests of tbe party will bo greatly enhanced if the adjourn mout is had. I hope the District will bo carried no nutter who is nominated, TUere uevor was a time in tho history of this Statevheu it waa so important that the District should bo oirricd by au ablo and houest reproiontativo, Tho duties before him aro those which mi ordinary orawoak mau would bo unablo toper form, aud we waut tho very bust man we can dud in city.

I can speak for my own ward aud say that wheu the time nies tho work of the Firat Ward will be fully oijual to that of the others. SPEECH OF ALDERMAN BORNET. Alderman Burnet I think I represent a laro number of the delegates in the Convention wheu I nay that for tho last three days I have consulted with my Ue publioau friends to ascertain who was the mau we could nominate to represent us in the Stato Senate honorably and woll. I only desiro to boo tho best uiau and a good I RepubUcan in the place. My mind goes bie.k to the time when tho Senate was composed of the vory bast men in the State.

That was the time wheu that body was the hlgheit court lu the State. I have but to uame the time wheu William H.

Tha roll was thsn ollo on Mr. JlcLouu'a motion to adjourn and it was carrlo.l by a voto pi 33 to 'Si. Amid great confusion the Chtlr declared the ConvenVon adjourned until Friday eveuing, at ha.i piBt sovou o'clock. There was great indignation among the delegates opposed to adjournment because of the action of tho Convention.

"They'll give us a Democrat mau. I'm sure," said one. "It don't mako a bit of difference, we won't elect any of our candidates at this rate," another delegate retnarkod. THE "TRUE INWARDNESS" of the adjournment is fouud in tho fact that Sam. Mc JyyjD, Franklin WooJrulI, Aldoimau Fuhor and other leaders desired to prevent tho nomination of Bern, which fco uwd to bo immiieut.

It was certain that Berii would havo reoe lved 30 votes on tho ihet billot, and as the opposition wero divided' among several of tho other eutididates, his opponents foarod that ho would bo victorious. Colonel Stogruan aud othor friends of John W. Coo wished to gtvo him time enough to roturu from his Western tour before iho nomination was mado.

Honry, whose appearance upon tho platform elicited loud applause. In performing the duty assigned him by tho General Committee Mr. Henry hoped thoir councils would be governed by harmony and theu asked tho pleasure of the Convention. On motion of Mr. James H.

Taylor, of the Sixth Ward, Mr. Jonathan T. Norton, of the Tenth Ward, was made temporary Socrotary. Mr. Drew, of tho Eighth Ward, was app inted aaBlstaut tomporary 8eo i rotary.

Alter the roll call tho temporary officers of the Conveutlon wore, on motion of Mr. Taylor, made permanent. a hot Argument. Mr. Cadmus, in view of tbe faot that the District la strongly Demooratic, moved that a committee of fivo bo appointed to confer with other organizations, and that the Convention adjourn until Saturday evening at 8 o'elock.

Mr. Cbadwlck, of tbe Twenty third Ward, said they had como there to select a noniinoo for tbo Senatorial District. It was doubtful If thoy would bo ahle to eleel him. Nevertheless if they came out with a good strong Republican aud wore unable to carry the District tbo nomination would have a good influence on the other candidates outside, of the DJstrlct, He was opposed to tbe nomination of DomocrTlta to political offices. Mr, James McDermott, of New Lots, moved that tho rules of the Axsetubly be made the rules of ths Convention.

Mr. A. W. Gloason, of the Twenty third Ward, wanted to kuow If auybody had a oopy ol the of tho Assembly. At tho County Convention tho chairman declared that it took thirty votei to call for tha previous question, while everybody in the room kuow that It only loon ten.

The motion of Mr. McDermott was carried. Mr, Gloason asketl Mr. Cadmns hiB reasons for do slring a conference committee aud au adjournment. Mr, Cadmus replied that the distriot was overwhelmingly Democratic and by' ao adjournment thoy might induce tho Demoorats to support a Republican.

Mr. McDermott denied that the district was overwhelmingly Demooratic. He maintained that IT WAS OVERWHELMINGLY DOUBTFUL. Figures, be said, were stubborn facts. Uo proposed to win the district for the Republican party as against Jacobs, nominated that da.

Iu this oounty last year the cry wts all for a change. Theretofore for i ye irs McLaughlin and his henchmen had count ed in their nominees to tha tune of eight or ten thousand.

He believed In fighting the devil with fire. Ho wanted to pnt In nomination a man who would work with them. The legislative content was ths sit engrossing issue. They could not afford to let a Democrat go in if they could help )t. It was of more Importance than tho election of a United States Let the Dem ocrats havo tho power and they would leave the Repub Ucan party of this city without a representative at Al 1 bauy.

Tho man whom he would nominate woulJ stick by them, work with them, and, if neod bs, HB WOULD DIK FOB THEM. He nominated for Senator the Hon. Michael Coffey. The Chair said thara waa no question before tho Convention and, therefore, nominations were not in order. Mr.

A. W. Gleason aald: I reineinber aud tftn'l flicted greater injury upon local Rermblican ism than upon the city. In examining Mr. Howell's letter it must be borne in mind that he iB intimately acquainted with the affairs of tho municipality, aud has himself an important business stake in Brooklyn.

Ho now fills tho position of Supervisor at Large, an office that stands iu much tho same relation to tho county government that the Mayoralty, doos to the city. That he has exhibited intelligence, vigilance and integrity in that place will not, wo think, be donied by anyone. To make a good Mayor, it is simply necessary for him to transfer theso qualities from the Court House to tho City Hall. The letter has a manly tone that wilt be listened to with favor by men who can distinguish between cant and sincerity. It makes no pledge that is not supported by duty actually done, and no promise which may not be accepted on tho strength of actual achievements.

What the promises of Mr. Schroedor and his friends have amounted to is well known. They wore intended for campaign purposes and they served their ond. An increased salary roll and dishonored officials are the measure of fulfilment. It was fitting for them to misrepresent the condition of of the city since thoy inteudod to help themselves at its expense.

Mr. Howell says I recognize as the first necessity of oar city, at this time, cheaper government a lower rate of taxation. Frothy asuraucos and inero partisan olanior aiiont "retrenchment and reform," will no lougor serve to mis load and paoily those upon whofo shoulders th8 burdens of our local government rost. Those who pay tuxes, in whatever form, demand immediate aud substantial, aud they will havo it, either tbrouab tho existing political portion or by thoir overthrow, if necessary. The Ciiy of Brooklyn should not at present alitor upon auy now work or enterprise whatever, necessitating the issue of auy now bonds, and the consequent further incroaso of taxation on account of tho principal aud in terost of our bondod indebtedness.

I include in thiB, also, bonds issued in behalf of local improvements, urgently pressod too often almost always reluctanlly paid for aftor they havo been provided. Our cxtier.enco since tlio introduction of tho system of advancing money by the city by the sale of its bonds to pay for Bucb work has been bo wholly unsatisfactory to my mind, to need no argument to establish the propriety of a return to the old plan, under which the contractors wore paid directly from the collection of the assessments on the property benefited, and by tho oity only after tho ity had itsolf collected the means of meitiug this class of' indirect and Qualified obligations. Tho return to the former practico would at all events, and at once, arrest tho inoroaso of tho city debt. If elected I shall resist with all the powers ot my oftleo, aud all (ho wolubt or influence it may giTe mo, auy increase 01 the public debt of Brooklyn under any pretoxt. In the appropriations and expenditures for the and operation of the local government, lu evory a rigid economy should bo unflinchingly enforced.

Through thla courno a very considerable roduction in the annua tnx levy cm bo effecto in my judgmont, and while in enforcing it the auouts of the ncopto would bo doing no more than iuoduciug into the conduct of public affairs tho rule of careful and economical expenditure which hard necessity lias ouforceil in tho management of our individual ooncarus at this time. I hold uiysoll pledged to this iiuo ot official conduct if elected. This passage is an epitome of tho letter, the other parts simply present in dnail applications of the policy here avowed. TUo Foyulz Murder Casct After several months of innotivity and apparent neglect, the authorities of Suffolk County, already famous for its crimes and tho impunity with which they have been committed, have brought to trial one of the parties charged with complicity in the mysterious Poyntz murder which took place at Bay Shora in January. The circumstances under which the murder was committed, the peculiar character of the mortal wound, the relations of the parties present at the time, their condition aud above all the weakness of the evidence in the bauds of the prosecution combine to render this caso one of unusual interest.

This interest is not lessened by the fact that the woman who is now undergoing the form of trial is the first femalo prisoner ever tried upon a capital charge in a county notorious for its criminal products. Tho circumstances of the murder, briefly stated, show that two men, Poyntz ond Kennedy, spent one Sunday in January at Bay Shore, drinking to excess in various saloons in the village, and late in the day staggered into a groggery kept by one Boland, where they quarreled. The quarrel was terminated by the expulsion of Kennedy from the saloon, which he left vowing vengeance on his companion. He then went to the house of Mrs. Evans, tho woman oharged with the commission of tho murder, and went to bed.

The relation of the two men to the Evans family is not very clear. The freedom, however, with whioh they made themselves at home on the premises is one of the strangest phases of the murder. Poyntz remained at Boland's saloon and then went to Evans' house, at seven o'clock, an hour after his companion. Kennedy awaking, the quarrel between him and Poyntz was renewed, and peace was restored only by the thorough intoxication of all parties except Mrs. Evans.

Kennedy and Poyntz retired together, Evans remaining down stairs. It is alleged that his wife refused to permit him to occupy the same room with her, and told him to accompany her to the other apartment and see if there was not room for him in bed with the two men. Here they found Poyntz dead, with a wound in his breast, evidently made with carpenter's gouge, which had penetrated the heart. There was no blood on the bed, and the weapon, whatever it was, had been concealed. Kennedy was apparently asleep when they came in, but such was his condition that no information of value could be obtained from him.

This is about all the testimony extant, and it must be confessed that it is little enough to furnish a clue to the murder. Predicated upon tne quarrel a motive might be found for Kennedy's having stabbed his companion, but circumstances appoar to ac quit'him. The theory of the prosacution seems to havse some little plausibility. Tho absence of all traces of blood on the bed and the scrupulous care with which the murdered man was covered up indicate that the murder was not committed in that room at all. It is believed that in his intoxicated condition Kennedy went to bed alone and that Poyntz was.

murdered by either the man or his wife in another WALLACE. Hi Small I'nct in Occult Scicncv.

COLES. 1'roorlotor, Ilahwi N.J, bu.d by dtusglau. "Sir Henry Elliott has been made British Ambassador at Vienna. It will be remembered that Sir Honry was tho Minister at Constantinople previous to the outbreak of hostilities. The Russian sympathisers iu England were especially bitter iu their denunciations of him as an apologist for the Turks.

It has, however, boon mado clear enough that Sir Honry was one of the men whom the Eussians could not deceive, and that had he been well sustained by the Government and sentiment of England war would, in all probability, have been averted. The Gladstone party chose to believe Ignatieff, and Ignatieff, it is proven, was not a scrupulous person. Indeed, he carried deception so far that he deceived himself aud misled his master. Vienna is just now the most important diplomatic centre in Europe. There the combination is likely to be formed that is to force peace and define the terms of it.

The appointment of Sir Henry may therefore be accepted as proof that he enjoys tho full confidence of the Ministry, and that the Ministry moans to pursue a pro Turkish policy. Had Disraeli intended to make any important concessions to Russia he would havo ohosen some more conciliatory instrument than Mr. Elliot.
