The ex citement which has pervaded this ordinarily quiet community for months, in consequence f the murder or Mrs. Coriell by Bridget Dur gan, culminated to-day la the execution of the unfortunate woman. BRIDGET DDKGAN'B PRISON LIFE. The few days preceding her melancholy fate differed but little from the earlier portion of her prison life, with which the public has been made fully acquainted from time to time. She continued to rise at 7 or half past 7 o'clock In the morning, and break fast at 8. She ate heartily, though not excessively and was regu larly furnished by the Sheriff with all the little delicacies of the season, whenever she de manded them. Towards the Sheriff and his family, and Mr. Randolph, the prison-keeper, Indeed, she has exhibited a kind and grateful disposition, giving them much less trouoletban might have been anticipated under the cir cumstances. CURIOSITY TO SEE THE CULPRIT. The curiosity to see her remained unabated until the end of her career. It is said by the prison officials that at least thirty thousand persons visited the Jail for that purpose during ihe period of her incarceration. Many or these the condescended to nonce, and some to con verse with; but during the last few days sue appeared so averse to seeing arrangers that an order prohibiting their admhislou was posted en the entrance to the prison, and at least two hundred were turned away unsatisfied yester day. With those wuom she received, Hue was unwilling to converse concerning the crime of Which she had been convicted, always changing the subject when that unpleusant topic was broached. SHE IS BREAKING SOWN. Those who oonversed with her yesterday fonnd her somewhat more dejected than sue was a short time before, although now and then she would rally herself and brlgnten up When the subject of her approaching execution was touched upon, she coutlnued to express her entire willingness and readiness to die, assert ing that she was quite tired of remaining alone in her cell. THE RELIGIOUS PROFESSORS. ' Early yesterday morning she received a visit from Father Dugan, the assistant of Father Kodgers, and later in the day the latter clergy man passed some lime with her in religious conversation and exhortation. During the af ternoon she likewise received a two-hours' visit from Miss Sullivan, a teacher in the Catholic school, who, at the request of Father Kodgers, had been paying her dally visits for some time past. Towards evening she had another welcome visitor In the person of a woman who lived near her in Ireland, and who has been In this country but a short time. In this quiet way, with the companionship of friends ana tne exclusion oi curious strangers, the last day of the unfortunate woman passed. VISITORS TO THE PRISON TO-DAY. Although nearly all visitors were excluded from the nrecincts of the prison proper, they were still able to penetrate as far as the office of J. Manning (jiarkson, sq., tne unerui or jmiu dlesex countv. on whom devolved the unplea sant duty of carrying out the sentence ot the Court. This was the second execution at which Mr. CI ark son has been called upon to omciate, and between his first case and the next prece ding a neriod of twelve or fifteen years elapsed. The applicants for admission to the prison on t.hn morninir of the execution were numbered by the thousand, and they oome from all parts of the country, and presented all imaginable pretexts as grounas lor me iavor mey ae manded. It was at first determined to limit t.hn number to two hundred: but before the fatal day arrived, the total had swelled to five bundrea. FIVE HUNDRED DEPUTIES. An the law of the State requires all executions to be in private, and prohibits the presence of all persons except me onerm auu ma jjepuwes, ana other specified offlolals. It was necessary to nnKt itntfl each and every oue of the five hun dred witnesses of tbe execution a Deputy Sheriff, and thia course was accorainijly pursued. THE MILITARY GUARD. In addition to this large force, who could be called upon to preserve order, If need be, the Hhurifr Wilful a requisition to Colonel Uriah iin u.ri nnmmnnriintr the 8d Regiment of the New Jersey Kllle Corps, to order the presence of two companies oi nis couiinaiiu, nmcu wwo -iviniinoivnreiiAHt. surrounding the prison and Court House, and keeping at a distance all who were not proviaoa wim uonew uy mo auram.

The crowd commenced to colleot outside of the prison at an early hour, and by ton n'clruia- amounted to more than two thousand.

The religious exercises at the gallows were very short, and as I he priests were holding thn crucifix before her, and wnlsperlng words of ronsnlntlon, she exclaimed, "Don't let any l'rolestaut hear what I say."

Yester day ulternnou Mr. Heroerl, the District At torney, called upon Bridget at the jail, to bid her go d-by. Sue said that she had no feeling sgiilijst him whatever; that he had done what be I nought was h s duty, and then added: "You must, let Mary (Jllroy go." Mr. Herbert assured her that. It- would only do what was his duty lu the case. Bridget replied that Mary Oilroy was "entirely Innocent." Iu answer to a question from Mr. Herbert, if Mary did not know that something was going on, she said that Mary did not know ai y more about the murder than tbe rest of too people of New market, and upon being asked why Mary Ullioy should say to her roommate, Delia Coyne, t hat "lliidget must be murdering Mrs. Coriell," answered that It must have come from her ugly temper. Mr. Herbert then asked her if Mury Oilroy was not there that night, and Bridget replied, "Not at that time." She further stated that she did not know Mary Gllroy until Kherame to Newmatket, and that tbe story of the Follcernau Deonilt on the trial, about see ing her in New York with Mary Oilroy, was not true. During this conversation she re marked that she would do her best to save Mary Gllioy. BRIDGET'S CONFESSION. In retard to Bridget's confession, her state ments mude from time to time to the Jailor, and by hliu detailed to Mr. Herbert, the Dis trict Altordey, are substantially as follows: d iuget aemes tnat ner motive in commu ting the murder was robbery, but says, in ef fect, that tibe wished to attain a place in the noueenoiu tuat sue couia not reacu wnne Mrs. Coriell lived; and to succeed In her wishes, she determined to remove her. with the purpose fixed In her mind, she heard that tbe Doctor was going away that night, and would not re turn until rooming. Iu the evenlug she got the buichbr-knlteaud placed It in a convenient spot on the table, and then sat down tu talk with Mrs. Coriell, who changed her clean dress tor me oia one sue haa on aurine the day. and threw herself on to tbe lounge. After convers ing for a while, Mrs. i oriell tell asleep. Bridget then got up and seized the small chair and hit her over the uead, Mrs. Coriell Jumped up from the lounge, took up a large chair to defend herself and struck at Bridget, breaking a piece off tbe top of the chair, which was afterwards found; Bridget then graspod the knife and rushed upon her; Mrs. Coriell ran to tue door to escape, and succeeded in getting outside, but Bridget caught her and drew her back, and as she came into the room she saw her little child, and stooping and Kissing it. cried out. Oh. my poor buoy i" in tne struggle tne amte had been drawn through her band, and when Bridget forced her through the sitting-room door she seized hold of tbe Jamb, and also of the knob, leaving the bloody marks of her hands, wnicu were noticed tne following nay. rsrumet then succeeded In forcing her Into tbe bed-room, anu there stabDea ner witn a unite, anu oeat her with a cnalr until she supposed sue was dead. she iben poured tbe contents of the lamp over Mrs. Coriell and the bed, and set fire to the latter, nsing as a torcn a baoys calico r roc it wrapped up In paper. She then went and changed her clothing, and the baby's, up stairs, and tipped over and rummaged the bureau, to lead tne neignoors to oeiieve mat a roooery had been committed. Coming down into the sitting-room, she heard Mrs.; Coriell raise the bed-room window and open tbe shutters, and running round outside of the house, saw her standing in front of the window. She dashed her back into the burning Duiiding, closed tne buna, ana leit witn tne cnua. i.ue Knife she secreted in the outhouse In the morning. Executions of Women In New Jersey. Tbe first woman executed In New Jersey, ot whom we have any record, was Mary Cole, a 'oung married woman, wno was nangea at Newton. Sussex county, on the 26th of July. 112, fifty-five years ago. Mary, with her hus band ana mother, had. but a year or two before. come to that county from Paterson, and the moiner naa pnrcuasea a small piaoe near La fayette, upon which they lived as one family. n,uriy in February the mother suddenly disap peared and, soon after, the piaoe was sold by the Coles at a sacrifice, and they removed to another place a few miles distant. The pur chaser of the Coles' property soon became so annoyed by a sickening stenoh, that he caused me noor oi tne house to be taken up; ana mere uncovered tne aeaa Doay oi Marys moiner, bearing such marks as lett no doubt In the minds of all who saw It that she had been mur dered. The county authorities were im mediately Informed, and Mary and her husband were arrested and Imprisoned. At the April term of the County Courts, they were placed on trial, and Mary (uaving coniessea tnat, to get possession or her mother's properly, she had murdered her by first knocking her down with an axe and then cutting ber throat) was found guilty of murder In the first degree, and her -husband was con victed as an accessory after the fact, she being sentenced to be banged, and be to confinement in the State Prison for three years. The execu tion took place in public, upou the spot where the Sussex Kallroad now stauds, and tbe doomed woman was driven under the scaffold upon a cart, which, after the rope was adjusted about her neck, was driven from under her, and her body left swinging in the air. The spot still bears the name of the "Mary Cole Hollow." Tbe second cane was that of Eliza Freeman, Who was hanged at Mount Holly in 1M.12 for the murder of her husband, Thomas Freeman; and tbe third and last was that of a colored servant, named Hosa Keen, who was hanged at Bridge ton, Cumberland county, April 26,1314, for the murder, by poison, of her master, the Hon.

Till Trouble Between General Grant anil the President Th ICitcutltt Order HellavlBfr Ganeral Bnvrldnn Ueneral Grant's I'owtn Under the Reconstruc tion Ada Ha baa no Vole In the JCxa cntlon of tha Law a. Washington, August 29. The feeling in Washington has settle! down into nlimosltbd usual state of dog-dav quietude. There have been no developments to-day of any character, and the fever beat of the past lew days lias greatly abated. The chief tonic of discussion is the discovery of the fact, fully alluded to last night, that Congress has not given General Graut the necessary powers to enectnaliy checkmate the efforts of the President. '1 be In tier's position Is that, under the Reconstruc tion ael, be has the right to remove district commanders, which Is admitted; that, despite the terms of the lteooustructlon act, he ins the power Inherent in him, under tbe Con stitution, to execute those aula; that Gene ral Grab k has no original power under them, n ud that his powers are simply supervisory, and Hmlled to certain weli-detlued. action. As pertinent to this, when General Grant Issued parai;r.koii five of his instructions to General Thomas, tne President told him he bad no authority uuder the Reconstruction acts to originate suou tu Simmons. General Grant replied that if it was not conferred upon him by the Reconstruc tion acts, it certainly was by army regulations and well-established custom; lor whenever an ollicer Is relieved of a command, the officer who succeeds him Is always dlrectcl to conti nue the orders he finds lu lorco until m. I 111. id or at iiul'ed by proper nulhority. General Grant holds that, the President's authority tin der the nets of Congress Is expressly limited by tbe nets themselves that beyond this the Pre sident lias no original authority; ihut the Dis till t Commanders are Invested by tne laws with the sole responsibility of their execution, sub ject to bis (General Grant's) approval and dis approval In certain particulars. This is the Intel-pi elation of tne acts given by Congress itself. The danger of a collision between the President aud General Grant depends entirely upon how tar the former will dare to proceed. If he confines himself to the removal of district commanders, aud u general direction that they execute the laws of congress according to their provisions, as In General Hancock's case, a collision may be avoided, for General Grant's power of levlbion of the acts of the District o m liianders, though soi lou-ly aud Inconsistently limited by the terms of the law, is vet suillcieut to prevent ciucu mischief if any of them are so disposed. If, however, tbe President car ries out the views which he is known to hold, namely that under tbe Constitution he has revisionary power himseir, there win certainly be a conflict. Timo alone can determine. Jerry Black and the Cabluct. Aprons of the recent Cabinet excitements, a good story is told bow a little mistake produced a great, not to say a ludicrous commotion In the minds of certain promineut "place-hunters." It seems Mr. Beward wished to see Mr. Blauq te, the Turkish Minister, and sent for him. By some mistake the message found its way to the office of Hon. Jerry Black, chief among the ex pectants of Cabinet portfolios. He was out of town, and the message was opeued by bis son. As Mr. Beward does not wrlieavery l-!gtbie hand, the conclusion was arrived at that a break up in the Cabinet was Imminent, and that Mr. Black was wanted for consultation. Bo he was telegraphed for instauter. He received tbe mes sage all right, aud got here next morning, tooic a carriage with Marshal Latnou, and rode to the State Department, nnd found Mr. Beward just going to Cabinet meet loir, who said, "Walk In, gentlemen, I'll be back soon." The visitors walled three hours, and Mr. Beward didu't come. They t hought iicurious, but called again next day. "Well, Mr, Black, what can I do for you ?" said the biand Secretary. "I came in re sponse to your despatch," said Mr. Black. "Despatch? despatch?" said Mr. Beward; "I sent you no despatch." And tinkling bis 11 tie bell, be caused inquiry to bo made, wnen the error was discovered. An expl ision fallowed, and Mr. Black disappeared. This was the foun dation for the report tbat Mr. Seward had tele graphed to Jerry Black to come and fix up tha broken Cabinet. N. Y. Times. General Grant's Powers. The President has triumphed. General Grant's protest has been unavailing, and Ihe order assigning Hancock to the place of Buerldiu, and ordering Bberidan to proceed at ouoe to the Department of the Missouri, is issued. More tpan this, Grant has been compelled not only to yield to tbe removal ot Sheridan and Blkles, but surrenders bis right to control the District Commanders. In his order of August 19 be directed Bherldan's successor to cont'nue all orders he should find In force in the fifth Dis trict; the new order framed by;the President and conntersigned by Grant, gives Hancock full authority to revoke all that Sheridan baa done. He may replace Throckmorton in the Governor's chair, and make Monroe again the Mayor of New Orleans. Tbe practical point with which the people are conoerned is that General Grant admits the right of the President to annul his directions to the District Com manders, and that Mr, Johnson sweeps aside his Interference. Tbat Congress never Intended to give this authority to the President is certain; but tha extent of the powers given to the General Is another question. The Supplementary Recon struction act gives the General authority to disapprove tbe acts of District Commanders, and all tbe powers of suspension, removal, and appointment which they possess. But it Is argued on the side of the President that this right to disapprove does not constitute the right to direct, and the validity of the argu ment Is evidently admitted by General Graut by bis withdrawal from his first position, and his exact obedience to the President's Instruc tions. Admitting this to be the correct view, we do not see that It follows that the District Com manders are absolutely Independent of the General. True, the letter of the law gives him no power to dictate whom they shall ap point or remove, but It does give him all their "powers of suspension, removal, ap pointment, or detail." Section 4 gives him tbe power to remove civil officers they have ap pointed. Section 8 further authorizes him to remove "whenever he shall deem It needful any member of a board of registration, and to appoint another in bis stead." Unquestionably it is clear enough that although Grant cannot say to Hancock, "Appoint such a mau Gover nor." he may appoint whomsoever ha nleasea Governor over Hancock's opposition, if this da not tne law, men congress has legislated directly for a conflict of authority. It cannot give the General identically the power of huh. pension and removal possessed by the District Commanders. His authority or theirs must be paramount, and we think there is no question but that in any case where the District i!nm. mander comes in conflict with the General on a question of appointment or removal, the sub- uruiuuie must yieiu. iv. 1. JTtUune. The President and General Grant. General Grant to -day issued the order nssiirn. ing General Hancock to the command of the Filth Military District, precisely in accordance with the President's order directing the change. It will be noticed that the AdJuiant-Generai's order, Instead of being dated to-day or even yesterday, is dated back to the 2tith, the day on which tbe President Issued his order. In view of what has transpired In tbe meantlme.lt Is a little singular tbat the order should not be daled to-day, tbe day of its promulgation. General Giant, however, did not Had the Sup plemental Reconstruction act passed In July so liberal In conferring authority upon him as be supposed at first, and discovering this, promptly acquiesced, and Issued tbe order. It Is not true, as published in the Chronicle here, tbat the President told General Graut tbat bis letter was Insubordinate. Their conference yesterday was as friendly at at the Cabinet meeting on Tuesday, whlon tbe sensation cor respondent of a Boston paper represented as stormy, i have to add that General Grant wrote tbe President a note, withdrawing bis letter lu which he protested against tbe form of tbe Presidential oruer Issued, seudlng Hancock In place of Sheridan. This letter was promptly returned to him, as requested, and will, of course, never see tbe light. This ends the third protest. iV. Y. World. The Kaw Impaaabmant Hovenaant. From IKe National JiUeUignor, Augutt Hj. Had there been lately a crowd of Baker's de tectives In Washington, as waa the ease daring the war, under tlo odious totUm-ioH ascend ency, there might, probably, be enough bronzht to light to show that a seiul-madmau of rank bad come to Washington to get up suou a grand devotion here to a deposed mHI'ary otll rial, that, In oonnecllon wit h affiliated ones of like character, a certain sort of duress or menace of foroe was to be obtained over ths President, and that tbe executive power was to have substantially passed from ills hands. This Insane scheme items to have failed or l come suspended, and in Its place for a lime Ibe expedient Is resorted to of obtaining a c nrert of radical presses to suddonly assail the President in tbe most furious manner, and, in (fleet, call for his impeachment for high crimes and misdemeanors. It Is doubtless sup posed by tbe contrivers and conspirators in a run mnd parly policy that he will lie paralyzed by fear,nnd utterly fort go the further exercise of his prerogative uuder the Constitution, which is conspicuously aiding the Deinocraticand con servative sentiment of the country in the great battle of tbe people against demagogues, cor rnpllouists, usurpers, aud despots at heart, whether civil or military. Under the circum stances, therefore, we are not surprised to find that the New York Tribune and New York Uniri are in the new conspiracy for Impeach ment. It would be tbe sight of a lifetime to bt hold the leading editors of those establish ments coining from extreme positions l lime us vide as the poles to sink all former diffe rences of opinion at the sacred sbi ltie of "war to the knife, and tbe knife to tne hilt," against Andrew Johusou. It is true that heretofore neither of these patriotic parties hive counte nanced ihe acts or the reckless partisan who. by legal or guilty methods, have sought tbe official life of the President, Therefore, the question ailses, why, upon any rational idea, tills sudden change of position ? The Congres sional measure to that end sadly tailed. The Connver-liolt-Ashley conspiracy has been ex posed and brought to grief. It Is not pretended that the President has violated theO institution by the removal of Generals Sickles or Slier id an. It It be assertfd that suoh removals are con trary to the action of Congress, and, therefore, lie should be Impeached, we can easily refute this by so high iip.tborlty as Mr. Thaddeus Stevens himsel eu.

Yesterday morning a prize-fight for $100 a side tock place on the Palisades, opposite Yonkers, between Barney O'Brien and Patsy McLaugh lin, alias Cockroach, which deserve3 notice, be cause It Is a perfect type of tbe brutality of the "ling." For a week both the men have been in training, and attained an excellent condition. O'Brien is about 85 ears old, six feel high, and weighs 150 pounds. His antagonist, McLaugu lie, is 32 years of age, stands five feet ten inches, and turns 100 pounds. The arrangements for tbe meeting were kept very close, and none bur the friends of the principals and the lights of the fraternity knew when or where it wa to oome off. At 12 o'clock McLaughlin, his seconds, and friends went on board a small steam-tug, which bad been engaged, at the -foot of tlghty-slxth street, East River. The vessel tben proceeded down tbe river, rounded Cas tle Garden, and steamed up the North River as tar as Yonkers, where O'Brleu and about a dozen friends were taken on board. It was about 8 o'clock when tbe tug rounded to and went down the river again, and in half an hour they put in and landed under tbe Palisades, and proceeded to the ground selected, which was the same where a fight took place a few weeks since. The preliminaries were soon ar ranged, and at 5 o'clock the men and their seconds entered the ring and went to work. McLaughlin looked the strongest, but O'Brleu seemed at first to have the most skill. The fight was In Patsy's favor from the start, although Barney was awarded the first knock down, on the eighth round. Alter that, how ever, It was all one way, aud at the thirty eighth round Barney's friends saw tbat there was no chance for him. Nevertheless, tbe oom bat was continued five rounds more, when on time being called for tbe forty-fourth round, O'Brien was senseless, and could not be re stored, and his seconds threw up tha sponge. The fight lasted nearly two hours, and consisted of tony-three rounds. The party returned safely to the city, most of them landing at Man hattauvllle. .V. Y. World. LEGAL INTELLIGENCE.
