ir. C'cchran explained, in answer to this, Mint the
relatives and friends of this young man hud called
upon htm to appear for his defense, and as they
could not communicate with him, he, of course,
could not have signed the petition, or known of Its
having beou signed, or have given' any Instructions
at all to counsel; and under theso circumstances ho
thought the subscription of the prisoner's next friend
was suitkuent.
Judge Ludlow said he would hold the motion to
gnash under consideration.
jlr. Cochran wished to know what he was to do In
the meantime. If he was to appear as the prisoner's
couiibcI, lie thought he should certainly be allowed
to consult with him; if he was not granted this
privilege, he would withdraw from the eas.s.
Judge Ludlow But the prisoner says you are not
Ills attorney.
Jlr. Cochrane "But I am. During his conllne
ment iu the station-house 1 wa.( ret uuecl by ins
relatives."
Judge Lndlow "But here is his own oath to the
fact tt.at he has instructed no counsel to act for him.
If lie do.es not choose to have counsel for his de
fense, that - is his business, not his relatives'. But I
now instruct the prisoner that it is his right, under
the Constitution and laws of the State, to select any
counsel he sees lit; and also to Inform the olllcers
that any person whom the prisoner docs so choose
Bliall be allowed to have free in creoursu with him."
Mr. Cochran "But In the meantime we think the
prisoner Is unjustly detained, having been iu prison
four days and no criminal charge yet prelerred
against him.'
Judge Ludlow "But there has ncen a charge
made against him; he had n hearing before the
Mavor this morning at nine o'clock, and is com
mitted for a lurlher hearing.'
Mr. Cochran "This hearing was after the lodg
ment of the writ, which wan taken yesterday."'
Judge Ludlow "That makes no difference ; I have
done all 1 can do at picsciu. 1 will cousuUr the
motion to quash, and will defer tho return of the
writ until to-morrow a, in o'clock.''
The .AnsiMln In New York Kflort to Free
. tlieiii FroMiicel ol itu ir Detention.
As has been previously suited, a habeas corpus
was sued out before Judge Mi Cinin, ot New York, a
judge of shaky fame, who has the reputation of
tloiug any kind of illegal legal business lor lucre, to
Becure the release from custody or James Dougherty
and Hugh Marra, charged with shooting Kcvenue
Officer isrooks. This s unc .bulge Usticd writs of
Jiabi as corpus und certiorari, n tiirna b yesterday.
tin the heuring It was contended ou behalf of the
prisoners that there was nut sutllcient evidence to
detain or remand them to the custody of the Penn
sylvania authorities. In opposition lr, was contended
by the District Attorney thai, tae evidence wh-j suf
Ucieiit to establish their guilt, and at his request au
adjournment of the case was had until 10 o'clock to
day. Fears are entertained In this city that the applica
tion before McCiinn may prove successful, but even
. if jt does, we are at liberty to state that other and
ciutside measures have been taeti to secure their
immediate rearrest, which can hardly be thwarted.
The public is yet to It am of the dilllcnlties impeding
the tdlliiers of justice in working up the case, getting
on the trail ot the assassins, and enveloping them iu
the meshes of the law by proper arlldavits aud writs.
Even the elements seemed to conspire to aid the
escape of the dastards. The late flood, by preventing
the running of railway trains, and delaying the Bail
ing of boats, has obstructed the olllcers in their pas
sage from point to point to such a degree as to ren
tier it probable that they may not be on hau l at the
proper time before the New York authorities with
the needful papers. But thejvillains cannot altogether
escape. Of this tact the public may be ussured.
Black and White. A few weeks since William
O. Ceorge, a prominent citizen of lilohmond, Va.,
died there, leaving an estate valued at about
$'A'iO,(iO(). As soon as his death was made known,
preparations were made by some colored people in
this city to secure possession of his estate. Their
claim is based upon au u.leged marriage between
Mr. (icorge, who was a white man and an "F. v.
V." of the old school, aud a colored woman named
Caroline Jackson. Tho marriage took place iu this
city on the 21st of April last, and a certificate to this
t'llect has Just been forwarded to Richmond, to be
used as evidence In tho suit now pending in tho
Hustings Court st that place. It appears that Caro
line was formerly a slave of Mr. George, and that ho
esteemed her so highly that the twain became tho
.parents of a numerous family. Before the abolition
of the peculiar instil mion, Mr. George manumitted
his favorite servant, anil sent her to this city, where
she has since resided. Last Aprl!, as already statid,
a formal marriage ceremony was jihm hiiijiih wiin
lier, for the purpose of legitimutl :ing the children,
and they and the widow ure now aUumptfiii.' to (Mta
blish tlii'ir right to his estate, wit'i what prospects ol
tmceess lime alone will show. Tills case of pra itleal
miscegenation cannot, unfortunately for the Dem i
cratiu party, be ciedited to the te-ichlmrs of t'i!
wicked radicals of these bitter d.iys, bit. is directly
chargeable to an old and tim '-h uored D;-m..T,ih,;

It is impossible as yet to give the correct statistics
either by wards or precincts, but we have incident
ally learned that in the Sec nd ward (a Democratic
repeating stronghold) no less than 9118 names were
stricken from tlio regular and extra assessments, by
the mutual consent of the canvassers. Many of the
fellows personating these names had given vacant
lots as their residences.
A decidedly largo ami enthusiastic meeting of
the German Republicans vas held last evening at
Third street and Columbia, avenue. In one of the
resolutions is tho following: "We know that Mr. .T.
M. Hticliard, the Democratic candidate for Coroner,
has long ago departed from the principles of liberty
and equality for which lie fought in Germany in ist8
and ls-jy, that he has joined in this country the party
which defended the most infamous Institution of the
time and declared slavery a blessing, and that he,
during the war, presided over a Democratic meet
ing which strongly recomme;idcd submission to tho
demands of Rebels, ami advocated compromises with
traitors. By doing this, Mr. Relchard has forfeited
all claims to our support, and must lose the votes of
all men of fixed liberal principles."
Police OrncEns in Thoviii.k. On Saturday night
last, about 11 o'clock, Policeman Thomas Grace, of
the Third district, sprang Ills rattle and collected a
crowd at Second and Pine s'reets. A citizen named
Joseph N. Hackney, of No. A-ll South Second street,
approached, and asked Grace the cause of the com
motion. Grace replied :' don't know; you can
take me if you want to, but I am doing my duty."
At this juncture Oitlccr Gnrman, of the same dis

He must be a clever man who can tell what are,
at Hie present moment, the intentions of the United
States Government with respect to Cuba. There is
a part v in the I nlon, as we all know, which favors
non-intervention in the all'airs of that island; there
Is another which approves the course taken by Gene
ral Sickles with respect to the Cuban question; and
there, ilnally, Is a government, or, at least, a mau
at its head, named General Grant, who vibrates be
tween these two conflicting tendencies as a pendu
lum, and who rimy either resolve upon recalling
his diplomatic agent or instruct him to demand
un answer to the note about Cuba. There can
not, in t lie meantime, be two opinions as to the
blundering of that gallant General whom tho
Cabinet at Washington have chosen to do duty for
them as a diplomatist in iMadrld. He has evidently
at the outset assumed a Tone which the Spaniards
could not brook, and he has been "frightened" no
other word could thoroughly convey our meaning
at the result of his demands; he has been too suro
that the Spanish Cabinet declines to consider any
A met lean proposition, and also that they could, in
any event, rely on the support of Austria and
France. There is no doubt that the prospect of the
sale or loss or Cuba had given rise to a very general
and violent commotion In Madrid, ami that Serrano's
'Government must, lu any transaction leading to that
result, be extremely careful not to wound the na
tional susceptibilities. Tin-re is no question as to
the readiness of tho Spanb.li people to fight against
all odds or to undergo all hardships whenever they
conceive that their honor Is at stake.
As for the solution of the Cuban question,
iui-tice will help Spain much better than force,
lefore they waste men and money from a mere
point of honor.tlie Span! irds should consider whether
they really have a valid cause in the Antilles. How
ever anxious Europe might be'" to recognize the
validity of their rights, she would still have to In
quire Into the use that is inadu of those rights.
Europe has shrunk in America from what sho
deemed a just and generous cause. It is not impos
sible that Austria ami Fiance might feel tempted
to recover in Cuba that prestige which they lost In
Mexico. But they must have it iu their power to
refute American assertions that the war in Cuba
is carried on "in a manner eoutrary to all the
principles of humanity." i'aey most Incur no risk
of complicity with deeds of bloodshed and violence
which modern civili.ailon dlsavowg; they must not
Beem bent ou bearing out Spain in pretensions
which should clash with tho equal rights und with
the reasonable demands of her colonies. Amiens
ad aram ought to be a rule In public as well as
in r rivato transactions Principles of righteousness
ought to prevail over mere considerations of political
Interest or expediency. Ti:e Spaniards may certainly
have a right to treat thfdr colonists as they please;
but the world's sympathies will be with them in pro
portion as their treatment uf those colonies is proved
to be just ami merciful.

Pnrlicnlarn of the Wreck off the Island of Terra
del t ueKO.
The ship Dreadnought, Captain Mayhew, from
Liverpool ior can r rancisco, wiin 2uou tons cargo,
was lost on the morning of July 4, on Cape Renas.
northeast of the island of Terra del Fuego. The loss
was occasioned by her having anchored nearer
shore than was supposed, ana when the breakers
were discovered she was becalmed and drifting
with tuo current. The crew, tmrty-iour in an,
including a woman (the stewardess) and a boy of
twelve years, had hardly time to get into two
small boats wiucn tnoy suceeeueci in lowering,
saving none of their effects but the Clothes they had
on, and not a mouthful of provisions. For seven
teen days tnoy snosisteu on tne Biieunsn wnica tney
gathered from the rocks at low tide. At night they
slept on shore around large fires which they lighted.
The Indians treated them well, not oil'ering them
the slightest violence. By day they pursued their
course southward, towards the Straits of I.e Malre,
and on the seventeenth day after their shipwreck
fell in with the Norwegian barque wenerai nircti,
whose captain, A. Amersden, treated them with ull
possible kindness and attention. The General
Birch landed the sutl'erers nt Talcahuano on the
17th of September. Ten of them were left in hospital
at that port, ana would lose tneir toes, wnicn were
frostbitten.
The Dreadnought was built at Newburyport in
lSf:t, under tne personal supervision of Captain
Samuel Samuels, who was ner urst commander, and
wno, it wilt be rememoereti, subsequently coin
mantled the yacht Henrietta In the famous ocean
race in 1867. She was then attached to David
Ogden's line of New York and Liverpool packets
and became famous for the rapidity of her trips
across the Atlantic, on more than one occasion beat
ing the steamers. Ou one voyage thirty of her crew
mutinied, and but for tho presence of mind of Cap
tain Samuels most disastrous consequences might
have followed. The atl'alr, however, was quelled
without resorting to force The Dreadnought was
one of the best clipper ships ever built In the United
Slates. She had won a world-wide reputation for
speed and beauty, and It Is with deep regret that we
chronicle her loss.

Packvii.i.k, N. B., Oct. 7. On Monday night this
place was visited by a tremendous galo and the
highest tide ever known. Tho marshes were com
pletely covered, and thousands of tons of hay
destroyed and several hundred cattle and sheep
drowned. , '
Tho dvkes on tho marshes arc all gone, and bridges
all through the country are swept away. The East

or ten miles, and the telegraph line connecting with
the cable and Halifax Is obliterated. As far as can
be ascertained, the tidal wave caused great destruc

In the bay of Ftindy and around St Johns the tide
rose to a great height, carrying away and destroying
an immense amount of property. There have been
no cars from Shcdlne to St. John Binco Monday.
The steamer New York, which left St. Johns on
Monday ror Boston, narrowly escaped being wrecked,
and reached Enstpott in a disabled condition.
In this small parish alone the loss is estimated at
