CITY INTELLIGENCE. tOE ADDITIONAL LOCAL ITK1I8 BBS HfaiDB PAOICS. t Nitt Yard Affairs Lavvch of thr Stkam Rloop Pushmataha Arrival from Forriow stations CHANOI8. Etc Kto. The diireraut departments of the Navy Yard have been more posily employed during the pant two month than at any time since last November. The gncoessive arrivals ot the steamers Florida, Mackinaw, and Vo 8oto, from the West Indies, the Juniata, from Brazil, and.the Balling frigate 1 olomao. from Pensaoola, and the consequent transfer of stores, rlwultiR, machinery, etc., and the payment and discharge of the sailors and marines, have furnished work to all, and sus tained aa excitement quite like that of war times. The Florida, Mackinaw, and Juniata were put out of commission, but the De Soto will re turntohor gqnudron as soon as repaired, and the Potomao will relieve the Constellation as permanent receiving vessel at the Yard. The Constellation, utter being overhauled, will be sent to Annapolis to Join her noble sister, the Constitution, as a practice ship for midshipmen. The great event of the season will be the launch of the new steam sloop-of-war Push mataha, which is expected to take plaoe at high water on Wednesday, the 17th instant, tinder the supervision of Naval Constructor Took. The public generally will be admitted to the Yard, but only a limited number will be allowed about the vessel, as crowded decks Interfere materially with the duties of the workmen. As she Is an Immense sorew steamer of 2400 tons, nearly twice as lartre as any steamer In the ''Southern Mall Hteamsblp Line," the sight, If the day be favorable, will be magnificent. Miss Drake, daughter of the dis tinguished Senator from Missouri, will have the honor of christening the noble craft. We are flad to see that our gallant naval ohioers are so m partial, and divide the compliments of their service with the ladles of the whole country. Miss Hull, a daughter of Commodore J. B. Hull, of Connecticut, named the Neshainony, the last vessel launched here. Among the personal changes at the Yard we notice tbe following: Captain Lynch, detached Horn duty as Naval Storekeeper and ordered to Naval Asylum: Captain Kouckendorf, detached from command of the Couslellallon, and placed d wailing orders; Kurgion Ackley, detached fiom the Constellation, aud ordered to the Qalnrebaugr, at New York; Surgeon Lwber -ordered to the Potomac; Lieutenant Haverstlck, ot Marine Garrison, ordered to Boston Barracks with a company of marines. The Naval General Court-Marshal, of which Admiral Latimer Is President, is still at work on the cases of officers lately belonging to the United Slates steamer Florida, nearly all of whom have been brought to trial a fact with out precedent In the annals of the navy. The Gullibility of Man Showing How $075 werr Exchanged for a Trunk of Htonks. A cabo fully exemplifying the appa rent dogmatic desire of man to become "gulled," has Just been disclosed to the light of public observance. The case Is as blaok as the parlies are they being of darkest hue. Daniel Barber resides In New Bedford. A few days since a "man and brother," by the name of Mitchell, waited upon him at his residence, and begged the pleasure of Introducing him to & "fallow frlnnH ' nurnArl AnsMn vhn If. tvn a alleged, also resided in that thriving place New Bedford. This latter individual confiden tially disclosed to Barber the astounding fact that he possessed a large amount of gold which he had obtained in the south during the Rebel lionand which he was willing to dispose of for paper. Electrified with the thought that he could mike such a profitable bargain for could he but gain the "lucre" at par, he could pocket $310 as a bonus be rolled his eyes with delight, clasped the other's hand, and sealed the bargain. It was arranged that he should bring his i 1000 la greenbacks to this city, which he did yester day morning. He was met at the Kensington depot, and after some preliminary conversa tion, a man was despatched for the treasure, which appeared, contained In an old trunk, upon a huckstering cart. "Is you suredatde gold is all right?' said Barber; and being so assured, he paid over 8975, demanding the box to be opened. "Not here 1" "not here I" one and all cried: "too much danger." Austin proposed that Mitchell and himself find a plaoe wnere It could most safely be opened. This being agreed to, they left. . The minutes flew, an hour and a half passed, and no appearance of the parties, to the great anxiety of Barber. He took the trunk, contain ing the precious ore (!), whloa was very heavy, and pro ceeded to a friend's house, and into a private room. Exultant wltn his great bar gain, and the trophy of his business tact, he wrenched the cover from the box when lol a lot of boulders and cobble-stones met his view, all covered with dnst and mud, instead of glit tering pieces of gold! Probable Homicide Atrocious Shooting Affray in the First Ward. A middle-aged man, infirm, and almost prostrated with long continued sickness, named Thomas Rew, was making bis way to the Almshouse, unable to work, having nothing to sustain him. He bad once before been admitted to a place where he could be cared for. On Wednesday evening last he was strolling leisurely towards this Jilaoe, intending to make a short visit. He had ust been at the homes of some of his German friends, on Fifth street, above Morris, aud was walking down Gravelstone lane, when, over come with fatigue, he laid down at the side of the road. Being refreshed by water that a woman had given blm, he was enabled to climb through a fence and lie down In the flekl. He was awakened by the oomlng of three men John Potter, John Gorman, and the third unknown. When rising up, some person in the Held raised his gun and discharged both barrels at him, loaded with buckshot, nearly all of which took effect in the body of Rew. The murderous ruffian fled, while the men In the road ran and picked np Rew, and conveyed him aneedilv to the drne store of Dr. Allaband. orner of Second and McClellan streets. His body was there examined, and wounds were found upon his mouth, arm, side, hip, and thlsrh, while a large number, the greater part of the two loads of buokshot.was scattered over his body. Some, it is thought, have penetrated the stomach and other vital parts of the system. Should the fact be such, the wounds will doubt less prove fatal. He was taken to the Hospital. Slight Fires. About half-past 10 o'clock last evenlne. a slight fire occurred at Jones' milk depot, No. 808 Green street, caused by the burning oi a winaow curtain.

The sales of stock surpass all expectation, and the prospect Is that the funds for the noble object will be secured even in advanoeof the time anticipated. The reason Is obvious. The design is worthy, and creditable to the patrlotlo hearts who are laboring to reward a too much negleoted class. The funds go Into responsible hands, and the public have no fears that they will be misdi rected. Tbe plan adopted satisfies the scruples of the most conscientious, for It meets all the requirements of a carefully worded law, and has the endorsement of eminent legal authority in such matters. It is by Its distinctive features entirely removed from the taint of catchpenny schemes whioh have so oiten been the means of Imposing on the public It gives to purchasers of its stock a full equivalent for the considera tion paid. All Its transactions are open and above board. It has no concealments, and the reputation of the managers Is such that they cannot afford to be dishonest In this transaction. The plan is to offer to tbe publio an interest In the charitable Institution by offering stock In shares of one dollar' for which a certificate Is given, with an engraving fully worth the money paid. As a still further inducement to have the shares taken up rapidly, every stockholder Is promised a present of some value In addition to his stock certificate and picture. The funds thus secured by the sales of stock are deposited with Messrs. George A. Cooke Sc Co., bankers, No. 33 S. Third street, to be by them applied to the objeot In view. A charitable publio Institution thus re ceives the benefit, and not a private Individual. Commissioner Rollins, of the Internal Reve nue Department, Washington, D. 0., has ex empted It from all tax, and the banking house of George A. Cooke & Co. signifies Its confi dence in the Integrity of the trustees by publicly accepting their trust as receivers. The means should be raised for such an object as educating the orphans of our gallant soldiers and sailors within one month. Let all who are able respond, and it might be done In a week. Let all who have no disposition for charity, but simply want pictures, and want to purchase where they can be had for tbe least money, buy of the Washington Library Company, and more than enough might be realized In a very short time. It remains for the public to say whether this benevolent work shall drag its weary length along, or be pushed rapidly to a successful com pletion. We believe that a grateful publio will continue to sustain the enterprise until Its pre sent bright prospects culminate In tbe trium phant completion of the Institute; The Principal Office of the Company Is at Ne. 122S Chesnut street. The officers In attendance will cheerfully give any Information desired, and if any additional checks or safeguards can be suggested, over and above those already. adopted, to Insure fairness and confidence, they will be gladly received. It will be pleasant In after years to reflect that we bad a hand In erecting suoh a noble monument to the me mory of our departed soldiers and sailors. fVom the Methodist Home Journal. Phlebotomy. When Dr. Sangrado found his patients weak he gave them water gruel. When they got weaker be bled them, and dosed them with calomel and Jalap. Gil Bias tells us they almost Invariably died. A good many people are killed that way yet. The world In general, however, has found out that, In cases of debility and premature decay, Hostetter's Btomach Bitters is the true life-sustaining cordial. This tonio is a powerful and perfectly harmless restorative. But it does more than Invigorate. It i? gulates and purifies. While it builds up the strength and Infuses vitality into tbe blood, it brings all the secretions into barmocy with the laws or health. Tbe feebler sex find It Invalu able In the various physical difficulties to which their organization renders them subject. In all hysterical and bypoohondtlcal cases its effect Is magical. The infirmities of age are alleviated by Us use; and where the circulation Is torpid, and there Is a teudenoy to paralysis, Hostet ter's Bitters are recommended as a means of relnvlgoratlng the system and prolonging life. At this season of the year particularly, when midsummer's scorching heat does so much towards reducing the vital energies of the body, this Inestimable tonic and stomachlo produoes a wonderful effect. By It tbe strength is in creased, the appetite preserved, and firmness and elasticity given to the system.

'Wholesale Poisoning on Staten Island AnOldliidrtiKl'Iwo Men Hcllsvert to have bean Poisoned to Death by a Woman- Arsenic Found In Una of th Bodies Arrest of the Supposed JUura deress and Her Husband A arcat sensation prevails on Staten Island, caused by the discovery of a dreadful poison In if case at the farm-house of J. K. Jeastip, in the town of wesineia, near uitonviue station, ou the btaten Island Hallroad. If the details as given to us are correct (and we have them from the liignest authorities in tne county;, tnree persons, one an aged lady, have recently been poisoned to death by a woman named Margaret Grant. J. K. Jesstip Is a wealthy farmer residing In the town of Weslfleld. Among his large force of farm hands recently- were two young men named Archibald McUlusky and John Dougherty; and among bis help about the house and garden were a Mr. Grant and his wife Alamaret. Mr. and Mrs. Grant, who are both aged about twenty-five years, had been In tbe service of Mr. Jessup for a long time, for which reason they bad frequently received little favors from him that the others did not. This, it seemed, bad tbe ellect to create aa envious feeling among some of the hands, which resulted In occasional quarrels; and at one time, It is alleged, Mrs. Grant, In a fit of passion, threat ened to take their lives, adding that she would flx them." This occurred about two months ago. In the latter part of tbe month of May McClusky was taken suddenly 111, and despite the best medical aid, died In a short time. The threat of Mrs. Grant had almost been forgotten, and no one thought for a moment that she had been instrumental In causing his death. But a few days ago another Incident ocourred which aroused everybody's suspicions. Yoang Dougherty arose one morning in his usual good health, partook of a hearty breakfast, and started to commence bis day's work at a mill some distance from tbe bouse. He had pro ceeded only a short distance when he became so thirsty that be was compelled to drink from a brook near by. Tbe water did not slake his thirst In tbe least; and be continued to drink until prostrated by pain, when he was dis covered and conveyed back to the bouse, and there died on the same day; bis symptoms throughout being very conclusive, and just be fore he breathed his last he said he had been killed by Mrs. Grant, who bad poisoned hlscolfee at breakfast; at the same time making a request that his body be opened and examined after bis death. To add to this tragio state of affairs, aa aged lady In the same house had died suddenly two days previous under similar circum stances. The date ot McClusky ' death was May the 19th. The lady, whose name has not been ascertained, died June loth, and Dou- gnerty aieu on the 17th ult. Tbe facts of the case have not been published before, In order 10 give ine omcers oi ine law a Detter chance to bring the oase into form for prosecution. A Coroner's Inquest was held over tbe remains of Dougherty, which resulted In the holding of both Mr. and Mrs. Grant to ball, and meantime the body of Dougherty was to be sent to New York for analysis. But when the oircumstances attending the death of McClusky and that of the lady were remembered, there lemalned no doubt that all were depatched by the same hand; and the woman Grant and her huBband were re arrested, and they are now secured In the Rich mond county jail, and will not be balled on any considerations. The chemist who has the body of Dougherty yesterday reported to the autho rities that poison had been discovered, and the other bodies will be Immediately exhumed and undergo a similar analysis. A further exami nation of the prisoners will take place to-morrow afternoon, before Justice Vaughn, at Clif ton, 8. I. The prisoners are what would be called a rough looking pair; and when they were conveyed to the Jail In the constable's car rlage, their appearance was so bad as to cause remark by every one who saw them. Margaret Is particularly uncouth In appearance, and her features very Irregular and repulsive. She Is downcast since her last arrest, and begins to manifest deep anxiety. The tragio affair is the main toplo of conversation throughout the breadth of the Island. -TV. Y. Jleraid. Attempt to Murder an Actress. At a late hour last night an attempt was made to murder Miss Florence Temple, an equestrienne actress, in her apartments In the boarding bouse No. 133 Bleecker street, which was only frustrated by the remarkable presence of mind of the intended victim. The would-be murderer Is Thomas J. Carr, a letter-carrier, attached to station -'C," located at the Junction of West Twelfth aud Fourth streets. It appears that Carr had been for some time paying atten tions to "Miss" Florence Temple, who, although she rejoices In tbe spinster appellation. Is a widow, and has two children who are living with ber. Miss Temple, it is stated, had formerly lived with Carr, in Broome street, but about eight months ago started on a starring expedition through the Eastern and Western Stales, and only returned to this city on Wed nesday, after appearing on that nlgnt as "Dick Torpin, the Highwayman," at Walden's Opera House, In Paterson, N. J., with her trained steed Firefly. On her arrival in this city, Carr culled on her, with the evident Intention of re Dewing his former intimacy, btu It would seem that Miss Temple did not appreciate his kind Intentions, and treated him very coolly. This gave rise to Jealousy in Carr's mind, and he de termined he would not be supplanted by any man. He called on Miss Temple at a late hour last night, and had an Interview with Miss Tem ple In her room, which Is situated on the third floor of tbe house. Miss Frances Temple, aged 13 years, a daughter of "Miss" Temple, was lu the room at the time. Borne conversation ensued between the equestrienne and the enraged letter carrier, which resulted in the woman leaving her seat and taking a seat in another part of the room. This so excited Carr, who had been drinking rather freely, that he got up from his seat, and. drawing a large Colt's revolver from bis pocket, advanced tbreatenlngly towards tba woman, remarking, nonchalantly, "No other man shall have you, for I'll shoot you," he cocked the pistol and fired. The woman, be coming aware of his murderous design, sprang from uer seat, and, striking the muzzle of the pistol with her right iiand, gave the weapon downward luollnatlon, and the ball from the pistol entered her left leg Just above the knee, and, passing through, caused a very severe and painful, though not dangerous wound. This occurred between Hand 12 o'clock, and In a moment alterO.llcer Bolger, of the Eighth Precinct, who happened to be standing on the opposite corner of Bleecker and Laurens street, attraoted by the shooting, ran Into the house, and ascending to the room arrested Carr, who made no reslitauce. In a few moments after Captain CafTray and Officer Orser, of the Fifteenth Preolnot, were in the bouse. By direction of the Oaptalu, Dr. Dorsn was summoned, who, after probln the wound, pronounced It not a dangerous oue. Carr was conveyed to the Eighth Precinct Station House by Oflloer Bolger and looked up for the night, lie Is tweuty-four yeurs of age, and a native of the United States. He made no statement In regard to the affair. Miss Temjle was also remarkably reticent. An Individual who repre Beuted himself to Captain Cafl'rey aa an attache of the 2ribune, made himself rather otliolous In proclaiming himself as a friend of Miss Temple. Carr will be Ukeu belore Jmtice Dodge-to-day. FOURTH EDITION EXTRA SESSION OF CONGRESS. Senate. Washington, July 12 Mr. Dixon (Conn.), rising after the reading of the journal, said be was accidentally absent yesterday when tbe vote was taken on the Reconstruction bill. Had he been present he should have voted against the bill, for the same reason that he voted aRBlnst the measures to whioh it was supple mentary. Mr. Chandler (Mich.) asked to call np the re solution oirered by him a fewdays since, direct ing the Committee on Foreign Rotations to In quire how many Mexican prisoners ot war bad been shot after capture, under the decree of Maximilian of October, 1KG5. Mr. Chandler ad drehsed the Senate on the subject of bis resolu tion. It was well known, he said, that the in vasion or Mexico was In reality a part and par cel of our Rebellion. Had the United Slates Government been at peace, no one bellevos that such an attempt would have beeu made to establish an empire In the Republlo of Mexico. Had Maximilian gone to Mexico as other fili busters go, as Iope went, as the son of Henry CI Ay went, and as others had gone, with their lives In their hands, In pursuit of a crown to win, no remark would have been made. Ha would have slaked bis head, and would have won a crown or lost his head. But Maximilian claimed to be something more than an ad venturer or a filibuster. He claimed to have been elected by tbe Mexican people to oooupy tbe Mexican throne. Having recited the circumstances of tbe election of Maximilian. Mr. Chandler aald It waa the Intention ot Hnpoleon, having once Hied Maximilian on the tliroiio or Mexico, to asHlxt tlie iteiiels from thai place, Tbs decree of IBM would tben have been exe cuted upon Union soldiers and ollicers oamured while defending Hie Union. Maximilian sinned his own deaib-warranl when be signed tbe deoree. Tbe Mexi cans made a mistake a to tbe mode ot Maximilian's death. The man capable ot Issuing that decree ousbt not to have died by Die bullet. Tbe olllcer who cap tured lilm should have bung him to ths first troi. That this was not dona showed tbe Mexicans to be a chivalrous people. House of Representatives, Tbs reading ot the Journal having been dispensed with, tbe speaker presented a communication from Governor J iu I lock of Massachusetts, received after the recess last session, announcing tbe ratification by tbat Commonwealth, of tbe Constitutional Amend ment Laid on the table, and ordered to be printed. Mr. Julian (Ind.) asked leave to introduce a resolu tion directing tbe Committee on Reconstruction to report a bill declaring forfeited to tbe United Htates all tbe lands granted by Congress. In IH-'ja, to mates In the Bouth, for railroad purposes, which have expired by limitation. Mr. Wood (N. Y.) objected. t Mr. Julian moved to suspend ths rules, and stated that there were 5,uoo,ooo acres of tbe best land In tbe South laid up In tbe hands otKebel corporations, at tbe expense of poor men, white and black, who should have tbem for homestead. Mr. Cbauler (N.Y.i, as a member of the Select Com mutes ou Uouthera ' Katlroadt, stated that lb ques tion of tbe relation ot these roads to tbe Government was still under Investigation, and argued tbat tlie action proposed by tbe resolution would be prematura. Mr. Julian expressed his willingness to make tne resolution one of Inquiry only. Mr. Cbanler argued tbat ibis was a special question, and tbat it should be referred to tbe Special Com mittee having that matter In charge. Mr. Williams (Fa.) Inquired of Mr. Cbanler whether there was any pretense that loyal men were interested In these roads? Mr. Chanler replied in tbe affirmative, and stated that the action proposed would Jeopardize tbe Vested rights ol clli.eDi who had been loyal throughout the whole war. Mr. Wood argued that three-fourths of the railroads In tbe South and In the West had beeu built by North ern canltalists. and tbat the proposed measure would be a measure of confiscation of Northern capital, be cause It bad been invested In Southern roads. In conclusion, be made the point of order that tbe Com mtLuwnn Keconai ruction bavins been raised for a specific purpose, oould lake no cognlzauce of Ibis m attpr. 1 he Speaker overruled the point of order, on tbe ground tbat a like subject had been already referred to that committee. Tbe rules were suspended. 99 to S3, and the resolu tlon modified so as to confine its operation to MIs alaslDDl. Alabama. Florida. Arkansas, and Louisiana. andtbemoiion o refer to tbe Select Committee on Southern Railroads was adopted. M r. Butler (Mass.) asked leave to offer an elaborate Dreambl and resolutions, recitlnir that the Govern ment of Louisiana baa been declared Illegal and void, and tbat therefore do efliclent means can be taken by tbe authorities for repairing levees or issuing bonds to pay for the same; and therefore resolving that the District Commander shall have power to Issue bonds to the amount of four millions dollars at 7-J0 per cent., and tbat tbe assumption of such such debt shall be a condition precedent ts the read- mission or tne mat. Mr. Wood (N. Y.) objected. Mr. Butler moved to suspend the rules. Tbe rules were not suspended, there being only 24 voits in tne amrmative. Mr. Stevens Pa.l. from the Committee on Reoon structlon. reported back tbe Senate Reconstruction bill, with several amendments, mostly of a verbal character. Tbeie Is a substitute for the first section, declaring ths true Intent and meaning of tbe actot 2d March, 1S67, to l?ave been that the Governments tnen existing in tne iteoei oiaiss were uiegui, anu tnat, tnereiore, such Governments, if continued, were to be continued subject in all respects to the military commanders ana to tbe authority of Congress, Among the tew sections reported Is one directing tnat none oi tne omcers oi regisi ration snail pay any regard to tbe decision or directions of the Attorney- General or any other officer of tbe Government, ex cept aa uirecieu Dy vongrrss. Mr. Stevens tl'a.) moved to recommit the bill, so to retain control over it, while he did not wish to cut off debate. Mr. Wood, while admitting that the bill aa now re ported waa an Improvement on tbe original bill of tbe .House, oriucizeu tne ueiaus or sums oi tne sections, and ureed tbat the language sbsuld be more precise. so tbat It would be so clear, precise, and definite tbat there would be no misunderstanding its intent and purpose, oui ns regaraea tne benate mil, tnougb equally ohjectlouable In principle, infinitely prefer able to mis. oecause its lasguage was plain, simple, and not to be misunderstood. Mr. Kldredge suggested that Mr. Wood should offer an amendment tbat would cover tbe whole case con clusively, namely, an amendment abolishing the Constitution of the United States, the laws of tbe uniteu estates, ine constitutions oi eacn oi tue South ern States, aud tbt laws ot each of them.
