The The Prisoner! from Hew York Com t They Are Held in $20,000 Bail Each. in Court of Quarter dKlonsJuie Ludlow. In the mtacf of the writ of habeas corpus Issued I&r tie purpose of obtaining a Judicial order allow mg counsel to te admitted to an Interview with McLaughlin, the hack driver, before reported, Jndge luliow this morning gave the following decision: Commonwealth, ex rfl Neil McLaughlin vs. Lieu t, aillaekv Habeas Corpus. Motion to quash On WiMiinsdav last a petition was presented to mo, at SVW.rportlng to be the petition of the rcla J". . wm not signed by him, but was sworn to by cue 'Wm! MartdSn, next friend,- who upon his oatn lii.i tiiat the facts stated in tlio petition were 5 S ui Ut brsYof his knowledge and belief." ni fncts stated in the petition were as follows, .JVlTtattlwtWoner is now restrained of his Jta iinlustlv. as ho apprehends, by Martin Kll KT lieutenant of Polu, Si'" tltotrlot, in Phtla u lt " " that ho Is unable to communicate tritn 1 is relatives or friends, and that his counsel W,n IlK. pem.on and its writwMmade returnable "on Thursday, Oct. 7, at "iVn'thc return of the writ, the body of the relator was produced In Court, whereupon McLaughlin made The following atlblavlt, viz.: -"That the writ of abeascoVm in thisc.ie has not been applied for bv him or bv any one authorized by him to make -h aimlicatUMi In his behalf, and that he has not 111 ?rustt Sny c oi'niel to appear for him in the matter ef tws application or hearing." The District Alter nev thereupon moved to quash the writ. it is too late to argue that a writ of habeas corpus mav Sot issue upon the petition and aitldavit of some wrson other than the prisoner himself, and this principle was established long since (sec How. St. Trl4. 4th Resolution, S2!), where the right of an cent or friend was fully established. In Cobbett vs. Hudson, X Knp. I-aw and Kq.. Ch. J. Campbell Is re ported to have said, "The Urst day 1 sat here Mrs. Cobiiett desired to make a motion on behalf of her husband, and I heard her without the slightest ruple as my Illustrious predecessor. Hall, heard the wife of John Banyan. On each of these occa sions the lilierty of the subject was in question." So also the husband may petition on lehalf of the wife, the parent for the child see W. 402), and. In fact, no legal relation must exist between the applicants and the prisoner, for any one may petition. 1 have been very careful in thus stating the law tnat it may clearly appear how anxious we are not only "not to interfere with the operation of "the great writ," but in all cases to give to it that force and effect which Its history proves It was intended to have. While the principles, therefore, upon which tiit writ wn issued are liriulv. and I hope forever settled, it is also true, as stated by Hur.l, in his treatise on "'Habeas Corpus,-' p. 212, that "where the application is made by a third person, it is sitpjwsed Iv be made in accoithtiice u ith the wishes of (lie party restrains! of hi liberty, and is allowed to prevent elay, where the party is represented to be under any disability, or in anv manner prevented from mak ing the application in his own right." Where, then, it appears that the prisoner himself loes not complain, but may, in fact, desire to be acid in custody, whv should the Court interfere ? The reason of ttie law is the life of the writ. You cannot, in any shape or form, imprison a citizen and prevent him from being heurd; but if he. who f all others is most concerned, is of mature years, ot an imbecile or a lunatic, ami is otherwise able to apeak for himself, does not complain of being de prived of his liberty, why should any one else do so with legal effect V In one case which is reported (Linder vs. Hudson, I Cash.. 3S5), it was even de cided "that a person brought up on habeas corpus, without his request or authority, might maintain an action on the case against ttie party who procured the writ to issue.'' I'pon the return of this writ the relator in sub stance repudiates It. He declares that he never ap plied for It, and never authorized any one to make such an application, and when informed by the Court that, it was his constitutional right, uot only to employ, but freely and without obstruction by any ne, to consult with counsel, for some reason he de alluea to do so. The relator appears to be ef sound mind, of mature years, and, until It appears by evidence that he la unable to act for himself, the Court must treat him as he evidently desires to lie treated. As this writ did not Issue at the prayer or the Dis trict Attorney, although it is the Commonwealth's writ, he my clearly move to quash it, and of this opinion is the whole Court with whom I have con Suited. ji may possibly be that the special motion made (to quash) might be granted, but on uilldavit pre sented and under all the circumstances of the case I prefer to take another course and dismiss the writ. And now. Oct, 8, isco, the body of the relator having been produced in open court upon the return of this writ, and lie being instructed by the court as to his legal right to employ and consult counsel, and it appearing, by an uilldavit of the relator, that he had not applied for the writ, nor instructed anv counsel or other persons to apply for said writ, or to appear for him, the writ is dismissed, and the prison er is remanded into the custody of Lieutenant lillaekv. When his Honor had concluded the delivery of this opinion a squad of policemen and detectives marched into court and produced the three prisoners who were delivered into the custody of our authori ties in New York yesterday. A great crowd of per sons were present to behold the men who have ac quired such an unenviable notoriety, and upon their entrance a commotion was created similar to that following the appearance of a noted murderer. The men looked worn and fatigued, but were laughing and as light In their manner as if they were a part of the outraged community, and actually took delight in their own capture and the prospect of their speedy onvictlon and punishment. District Attorney Hheppard then rose and said : Lieutenant Kelley, under direction of the Mayor, appears in court, and produces tha bodies of Peter Donohue, alias Pete Bottles j James Dougherty, and Hugh Marra, alias Malier, who have been arrested under a bench warrant Issued by your Honor on jionuay. i bsk mat tney may oe taken into custody, and that your Honor may make an order as to tii amount and character of bail, and the length of no- ,n e, Ha iu me utiier uttnen jresieruay. .

Mr, Cassidy then said: There certainly is no objection to thatto giving Ball. But all this could have been done without this parade without bringing In a column of soldiers, the only object of which can be to urouse public sentiment aud opinion about these men. One oillcer ould have brought in these men without this show There might have been an intimation to me about the matter, for undoubtedly It was known that I was no of the counsel in the case.

Marra and James Dougherty, who are alli-ired to bo the meu that attempted to assassinate Detective Brooks, were again brought up on a writ of habeas corpus octore Judge Mcuunn at noon yesterday. The Dlntrlc Attorney presented a requisition from Philadelphia for the prisoners, and in response to ineir counsels application lor tneir uiscnarge on habeas corpus. Judge McCuun decided that, it an- rearing to him that a complaint had been duly made in Philadelphia against these parties that a crime ud been actually committed, aud that the requisi CITY ran tlons In duo form from the Oovcmor of Pennsylva nia had been issued, showing them to be fugitives from justice, he had no further power than to re mand the men and deliver them over to the odloers to take them to Pennsylvania, Superintendent Ken nedy, who was present, at ones took charge of ths men. and they were cosdnoted from the court-room hy him and two of the oillcers from this city. Inspector Walling, of New Y'ork, by whom these men and their compaslons, McLaughlin aud Peter Donohne, alias "Bottles," had leen arrested, was again placed In charge Of the trio still remaining in New York. Fearing that "notUcr writ would be served npon him, or an attempt made to rescue them from his custody, he at once leli tho city with the accused, proceeding as far as Newark, N. J., at which place he waited until the 4 o'clock express train for Philadelphia passed through that city. The prisoners were placed on board this train tu charge of Officers Scott and Wil kinson, of the Twenty-sixth precinct, New York, and Detective Gordon, of Mayor Fox's force. Inspector Walling then telegraphed to Mayor Fox that the men were en route, and requesting the Mayor to have a force of police at the depot on their arrival. The party reached the city about 8 o'clock last evening, and, as one of the prisoners remarked on landing at Walnut street wharf, they "bad a better reception than Andrew Johnson received here, at any rate." The prisoners were received at the Wharf by a squad of twenty policemen, headed by Chief Mulhollaud, and being handcuffed together and placed in the hollow square formed by the police, were marched to the Central Station. All tho cells at the Central Station had been previously cleared, and the prisoners wore Vne sole Involuntary occupants of this nortn 0f (he building during tho night, each of them being pro vided with a separate cell. An extra force of police men were kept on duty during the night to prevent uny attempt at an escapo after tha fashion of Jimmy llaggerty, and no person was allowed to communi cate with the prisoners except Lewis C. Cassldv, Jsq.r who was admitted to their presence on repr'e scntfng himself as being their counsel. At 10 o'clock this morning, the trio were escorted before Judge Ludlew, with the result detailed above. THE BAPTIST ASSOCIATION.

To-day Is tho occasion of the biggest picnic parry ever held within the borders of this city. Thanks to the thoughtful consideration of the worthy Park Commissioners, the Board of Controllers have been Induced to allow the children of onr public schools holiday to-day, In order that they might enjoy an old-fashioned country nntting frolic Ample ar rangements were made by a special committee to make the festival a success, and Chief Engineer Cresson cheerfully co-operated with It In perfecting all the details. At an early hour this morning, thousands of the children were astir, and before eight o'clock long lines of youngsters were strewed along all the ave nnes leading to the Park. The passenger cars run ning In that direction have been at last literally packed, so that not an additional passenger could be squeezed In, nnless minded to follow the example of a conductor on Oirard avenue, and straddle across the roof. Ninety children are huing carried In one loud. lint. then, ns k ronrlnetnr naiif. "thev only count fonr cents a head." A number of accommodatl;, trains, of a dozen cars each, are being ru 'y the Reading and the Pennsylvania Kallr.g. ftnd they are all crowded. ' The children of the!

Thoso of tho iilllcT.critU section; went from Richmond by the -ftdlnir Itallroad. and took a band of music. Those Of the Twenty-fourth, Twenty-seventh, and Twenty, eighth sections, being located in close proximity to the park, went on foot. Thoso or the sixtcenm, seventeenth, and eighteenth sections were taken by the Glrartl Avenuo Railway. For the Second, Third, Fourth, and Fifth sections arrangements were made by the Spruce and Pino Streets Railway and the Pennsylvania Railroad. To day has been as sweet as ever autumn gave. The sky Is nnclOHdod, and the bounds of the blue horizon are tinted with the (indefinable mists of Indian summer. The soft air is sweet enough to tono the sulkiest spirits into peacefulness. At the Park, close by the Oirard avenue bridge, the sceno would defy the-pencil of any artist save a Turner to catch the wondrous rlppllngs of lights and shades on Nky and river. The grass and shrubbery are yet fresh from the recent rains, and tho trees havo their boughs nearly covered with many-tinted leaves. Indeed, a more delightful day for a picnic could not be arranged, aud the children are sensible enough to take advantage ot It. What number will participate In the cosy camping out to-day can scarcely be estimated. Nearly ull parties have token lunch-baskets with them, and will stay till evening; With the thousands who will flock out this afternoon to witness the pleasant spec tacle, it will be within bounds to estimate the num ber at fifty thousand. As the party are scattered over nearly two thousand acres, there can be no jostllngs for lack of room, and the more who attend the merrier the sight. The children are brimfiill of enjoyablencss, nnd this morning were entertaining themselves to their hearts' content. Anybody who will tuke the time to pay them a living visit- will catch enough of their Infectious sportlveness to clear un musty conwens out or nis brain, and will come to the conclusion that this world is not quite as bad as some folks make It out to be. No confusion exists on the ground on the pnrt of the children, as each section has been allotted a special tract for its own use. Surveys were made of the nut trees of the park, and the eligible districts were fairly apportioned. Tho portion on the east side of the Schuylkill, below Oirard avenue, was found to contain 24 walnut and chestnut trees. This was divided into nine sections. It comprises Scdgely, Lemon Hill, the Ride Pit (that was iu Re bellion times). Fisher s woods, Lucius', Burd s, Rail' dolph's, and Mathison's farms. The main section on tho west side of the river above Girard Avenue Bridge contains 8T divisions, besides Solitude Grove, opposite Lemon Hill. These have 144 walnut trees nnd 189 chestnut trees; thus there are 650 nut trees not including hazel, shell bark, Ac. The divisions on theWestare Kgglesileld. Sweet Brier, Landsdowne, steamboat Landing, oppo site Ix)Bg Island, Belmont valley, George's Hill, Re- servior, uciiuoui, raogeiaud, urcenmnu, sioever 8 arid Conner g arms and ucimont station. Fifty men are employed by the Commissioners to ciuo trie trees. Tneir duties, nowever, are not ar duous, as the boys are saving them half their labors. For this day. at least, the regulations are not strictly enlorced, and the tacit understanding is that the youngsters shall have their fill of tumbling about as long as they keep within the limits of propriety. This is acting on common sense principles, ami can do no harm. Indeed the whole programme is working itself out so delightfully to all interested that this first nutting restivui wm unquestionably no tne rore runner of many others In the years to come.

Franklin Pen roc. Franklin Pierce, tho fourteenth President of the Vuitcd States, whose death Is announced this after noon, was born In the town of Hillsborough, New Hampshire, on the 23d of November, 1804, and had, therefore, ueurly completed his sixty-fourth year at the time of his death. His father, General Benja min Pierce, a native of Massachusetts, was ouo of the earliest settlerslln the towii2ofHlllsbororough,and served as a soldier and oitlcer throughout the revolu tionary war. He was an influential Democratic poli tician. In lS2f and ls29 ho was oiecieu uovemoror the State, and died In 1819 at th go of 81. Frank lin Pierce received his early education at the academies of Hancock und Francestown, and lu 18-20 he entered Bowdoln College, at Brunswick, Me. Ills ambition at this period was of a military cast, and he was a zealous oillcer in a college company of soldiers in which his future biographer, Nathaniel Hawthorne, was a private. During one of his winter vacations he taught a country school. Ho was gra duated lu l'54, and having choseu the law as a pro fession, became a studeut in the oillce of Judge Levi Woodbury, at Portsmouth, afterwards distinguished as a I'nited States Senutor and a member of the Cabinet. Pierce subsequently studied for two years In the law school at Northampton, Mass., and In the oillce of Judge Parker, at Amherst, N. H. He was admitted to tho bar In 1827, and begau practice at Hillsborough. Ho did not at Urst succeed as an ad vocate, and his first case was a marked failure. For some time politics diverted his attention from his profession. He was an ardent advocate of the election of Genera" Jackson to tho Presidency, and in 1829 was himself elected by the town of Hills borough Its representative in the State Legislature. He served four years iu that body, and in the last two years was chosen, Speaker, receiving tlii'jc- fourths of all the votes of the noose. In 1838 he was elected a member of Congress, where he served on the Judiciary and other important committees, but did not attain to distinction in debate. He sus tained Jackson's opposition to the internal improve ment system, and made a speech against tho bill authorising an appropriation for the military aca demy at West Point, to which institution he was long opposed, though during the Mexican ho was reason to change his opinion on that subject. On the ques tion of slavery he sided with the South, and opposed anti-siavery measures in every shape. He remained a member of tne iiouse oi nepre scntatlves nntil 1837, when he was elected to the Vnitcd States Senate, In which he took his scat as the youngest member, having barely reached the legal age for the position. In the Senate at mat time were Clay, Webster, Calhoun, Benton, Buch anan, Woodbury, and Silas Wright. lie made In lato a speech upon Revolutionary pensions, and In 1841 another on the removal of persons from office by the new Whig administration, and in 1642 re signed his seat and returned to the practice of his profession at Concord, N. II., to which place he re moved from Ulllsliorough In 1838. He soon became distinguished as an advocate, and In 1840 Prestdent Polk offered htm tho post of Vnlted States Attorney-General, which he declined. He also declined to be a candtdato for Governor. He still, however, continued to manifest an Interest In politics, and vigorously supported the annexation of Texas in opposition to a consmerauie portion oi tno Democracy of New England. in iN4i, wnen tne state or new uampsniro was called upon to furnish troops for the Mexican war, ne enrolled nimseif a memoer oi one oi tno ursi volunteer companies of Concord, but did not long re main in tne ranks; ror on tne passage ny congress of the bill for the Increase of the army he received tne apDoiutmeut or colonel of the 9t i regiment, and shortly after was commissioned brigadier-general of nie army, un way 'ii no embarked at Newport witn his command, ami after a passage of thirty days ar rived at vera ctuz. Three weeks later no led ins men to join the main body of the army under Gene, nil Scott at Puebla, which ho reached August 7, after several sharp engagements with guerillas on nie way. In the battle of Contreras ho was severely hurt by the falling of his horse, but continued during the oay in i ne tiend or nis nrigatic. in tne oattia oi Cherubtiseo, while leading his meu against the enemy, lie rcll lulnting rrom the pain or his injuries, but re I used to milt the Held. After the battle, the Mexican commander having opened negotiations for peace, weneral scott appointed General fierce one of tlie commissioners to arrange the terms of an armistice. The truce was of short duration, and the battles of Mollno del Rey and Chepultepec followed, and soon afterwards the city of Mexico capitulated. t.euerai Fierce remained in mat city tin uocomucr, when, the war being ended, he icturncd home, and, resigning his commission, applied himself again to the practice of the law. Ou June 12, lsvi, the Democratic National Con vention assembled at Baltimore, and after thirty live ballotings for a candidate for President of the United States, during which uot a vote had been given for General Pierce, the Virginia delegation brought forward his name, and on the forty-ninth ballot he was nominated by 282 votes to 11 for all other candidates. His principal competitors were James Buchanan, Iiewis Cass, William L. Marcy, and Stephen A. Douglas. At the ensuing Presiden tial election in Novemner he received the votes of all the States except Massachusetts, Vermont, Ken tucky, and Tennessee, whose sutrrages were given to General Winneld Scott. Of tho votes of the .Elec toral College Pierce received 254 aud Scott 42. In the midst or tnis sudden ami asronismng politi cal success the Presideut elect was smitten with a terrible domestic calamity. On January A, while making with his family a railroad journey from Andover to Lawrence, Mass., the cars were thrown off the track and dashed against rocks, and his only child, Benjamin Pierce, a line boy or tnirtcen, was instantly killed. In his inaugural address, March 4, 18K), President Pierce maintained that slavery is recognized by the Constitution, and that tho Fugitive Slave law Is con stitutional and should ne strictly executed, tie de nounced lu strong terms the agitation of the slavery question, which he tnougnt nau oeen settled oy mo 'cmpromises or lsoo, anu nopeu tnus -no sectional or ambitions or fanatical excitement mignt again threaten the durability of our Institutions, or obscure the light of our prosperity.'' Three days after his inauguration he appointed his Cabinet, as follows: William L. Marcv. Secretary of State; James Guthrie, Secretary of the Treasury: Jefferson Davis, Secre tary of War; James C. Dobbin, Secretary of the Navv: Robert McClelland, Secretary of the Interior; James Campbell, of Pennsylvania, Postmaster-Gene ral : ana caiei) I'usmng, Aitorney-i leuerai. The first Congress which met during the adminis tration of President Pierce assembled in December, 18B3. In the following January Mr. Douglas, then chairman of the Senate Committee on Territories, introduced a bill for tho organization or two terri tories, to be called Kansas and Nebraska, in the re gion west of Missouri and north of tho parallel of 36 deg. 80 mln. By the Missouri compromise of 1820-21 slavery had been formally anil forever excluded from this region. By the bill of Mr. Douglas, which was warmly supported by the administration, the Missouri compromise act was repealed and slavery permitted to entor these territories. In spite of the strenuous opposition of the anti-slavery members of congress, the Dill oecame a law aim received me signature of the President on the last day of May. Great excitement and indignation were aroused In the free States by this measure. It was denounced as a flagrant bruacn oi laitn, ami as me violation oi a compromise as sacred as the compromises of tho Constitution itself. On January 24, 166, the President sent a messnge to CongreRB, in which he represented tha formation of a free State Government in Kansas as an act of rebellion, and justified tho principles of the Kansas and Nebraska act. On June 2 of the same year the National Demo cratic Convention met at Cincinnati to nominate a candidate for President. The llrst ballot stood : For James Buchanan, 135; for Franklin Pierce, 122; for Stephen A. Douglas, 33 ; for Lewis Cass, 0. On subsequent ballots the vote for Pierce gradually di minished, and ou the seventeenth ballot all the votes were given for Mr. Buchanan. Before the adjournment of Congress in the follow ing August, the House of Representatives made an amendment to the army appropriation bill, providing that no part or tne army biiouki oe employed io en force the laws made by the Territorial Legislature of Kansas, until Congress should nave decided mat it was a valid legislative assemmy. tho aenaie re fused to concur in this proviso, and Congress ad journed without making any provision for the sup port of the army. The President immediately issued a proclamation calling an extra session to convene ou August 21, when the army bill was passod with out any proviso. jt Came lOgeiner Ugaiu on uwnuira i, aim mo President s annual message was chiefly devoted to the subject of Kansas, and in us ciiauuu oi events and expressions or praise it iook strong grounds against the Free State party of tho coun try. The session closed on March 8, iSf7, aud on the following day tho administration of President Pierce terminated, ami mat oi uuuh-s iiik.-iihhuu commenced. Mr. Pierce soon after visited Madeira, and travelled extensively iu Kurope, from which ho returned in lsisu. On the outbreak of the war, Mr. Pierce, in a speech delivered April 21, lwil, at Concord, N. II., his place of resldenco, nominally arrayed himself on tho side of the Vnlon. But from that day to the close of the war, he was regarded with almost as much distrust as James Buchanan by a large majority oi me peopio of the North. The whole policy of his administra tion hail been dictated by the slavery propagandists, and ho lent his willing aid to every scheme which tended to foster and Btreugnieu me power oi --me peculiar Institution." vwiatever may navo been his own personal inclination, his character as a man and a politician was too weak and vacillating to withstand the demands of the Southern oligarchists, and consequently they found in Franklin i'lerce on an occasions a pliant tool ready and even anxious to forward their disorganizing schemes. That a luan with such a record could impress upon uie nation a oenei iu his sincerity, when he counselled a hearty support of the Government in Its struggle against rebellion, was scarcely possible. Ills few utterances since the close of the war havo stamped him as being, at the best, but a lukewarm advocate of the integrity of the national Government, tne anounouoi uuinau slavery being the only security for Its perpetuity. Personally, Franklin Pierce was a man of no mean abilities and acquirements, but the Presidential chair has never been lllled by one more singularly uniltted for that high dignity. He had no claim to statesmanship was nothing more than a remarkably successful politi cian, wliose elevation to the highest oitlco within the gift of the American people was the result of that principle of availability which has been the curse of American politics in these latter days. His nomina tion was an accident, at the best a mere compro mise; his election the result of a blind adherence to party principles, without any regard to the character of the men professing them; his administration re fleeted no credit upon the Government abroad, and sowed widespread the seeds of dissension and civil war at home; his death will not leave a blank in the hearts of the people or on the puge of history.
