The credit of this and other renio elects of the operas performed by this tronne Is lne to the (rood taste and enterprise of Mr. C. I. Jless, .o has the nianncement of what we presume may fx- called the scenic department. Tomorrow Frti Ih'avulo will be (riven, with Miss Roue llersee as "Zcrlltm." and on Wednesday Anise's opera of the tllwk bnmino will bo performed foriie first time by this troupe. Jt: TnB Oikhntt the comedy of Manic and Fane dr w such tine audiences and was so admirably per formed on Friday and Saturday evenings, that we ennot help regretting Its withdrawal so soon. The ;Mcte was better done on Saturday than on the even Jnp before, and with Miss Keene as "I'ejr Wolfing ton," Mr. Sheridan as "Triplet," and Miss Howard a& "Mabel Vane," the leading rods were presented In a afhtincr worthy of heart y praise, while the persona tion of the subordinate parts, with one or two excep tions, left little to lie desired. "Mabel Vane" Is a clmniiinir contrast to the other characters, and It re quires rare delicacy and tact In the actress to render the part In a perfectly satisfactory manner. Miss Jlowurd played It delightfully, ami that her costume was not exactly In rharactcr,we understand, wusdue to an accident, over which she had no control, and which, of course, relieves her from any Imputation of bad taste In the mutter. Robertson's comedv of Home, will be produced this evening, wilh the following cast. "Colonel John White," Mr. Sheridan; "Captain Mountraile," Mr. K Moribund; "Mr. Dorrison," Mr. .1. 11.

Att'": Wai.m-t Mr. Ilootli will appear this even ing as "Macbeth." This we believe may beset down hh the most dilllcult character la the whole range of he t'lwkcspiiiriiin drama. We see at times approxi mations to the ideal "Othello," "lag.-)," "Hamlet." Lear." "Richard," and other of the great tragic mien, Ult bwe have never yet witnessed a persona tion of "Macbeth" that was not unsatisfactory in a hii'h degree. There is a some-.iinig annm me cua racter that, even the best actors cannot grasp, ami this i rand tragedy is jepreseuted now mostly for the sake of "I.adv Macbeth," who has become the chief personage. This may be accounted for In some mea sure bv the fact that in the early scenes of the slrmia "Lady Macbeth" appears as the active agent, r;l her hits'lmad to a great extent as the passive Instrument, and he is thus overshadowed, Just aa "Othello" is upon the stage a less important churuc- 'ttrthati "lago." The part of "l,ady Macbeth" is suc cessfully represented, too, once in a long while by some great uctress, but we scarcely expect to see a really good "Macbeth." If Mr. Hoot.li fails to realize all that there Is In this great role ho luils where other and greater actors have failed berore him. Ills per formance of the character has some line points about it, but It Is far from being his b.;st ellort.

U HIE 11US1I BEQUEST. To the Editor of the. Eeening Telegraph. I submit to the consideration of your readers the following objections to the acceptance by the Phila delphia Library Company of the trust offered by the will of the la'e Dr. Jtush: 1. Hie counsel conmlted by the Directors (Mr. Meredith, Mr. MeMurtrlc, ami Mr. George W. Did dle) say that this isnotthepniptrtime for a decision. 2. The Directors, ill presenting the subject to the Bieeting of S4Uth June, expressed the same opinion. U. The location chosen by the executor for the new building is altogether unsatisfactory to the members t the company. 4. The whole library must go there, if the spirit of Dr. Hush's will is not to be outrageously disregarded. fi. No one knows what the lluauclal stale of the Trust is even likely to be when handed over to the company. Opinions vary immensely as to the amount of funds which will remain after the build ing is completed. The will requires all the estate to be spent on the building, except sutliclent to secure the annuities. This gives nothing whatever for pur chase of books or expenses of supporting the library until one by one the annuities fall m. One thousand hungry heirs eagerly expecting the demise of cucii survivor of Dr. Hush's family! 6. The condition that the number of members shall never be Increased is an odious and aristocratic fea ture, entirely alien to tho spirit in which the library was founded and has been administered. When tins amendment of the charter is asked of the Legislature, it will surely meet with opposition. 7. The condition that tiie library company shall never connect itself with uny other body corporate is a very objectionable one. The present Library Company is a combination of the original company with three others, viz. The Amicable, the Associa tion, and the luion. Is It not pussible that, In the mutation of human all'airs it may be desirable for the library company to unite with some other kin dred institution. Suppose, for example, that fifty years hence some large hearted, generous, genial philanthropist, having utnply provided for the needs of his surviving relations, should by bis last will oiler us, with tiiut same noble confidence which marks every page of Dr. liush's will, three millions of dollars to eilect a union, sav, with the Mercantile or some other library company. We should be powerless. II it be said this is forced sup position, and we are not likely again to find such trenerous, muuilicent, Bell-denying philanthropy as that of the late Dr. Rush, 1 suppose we must reluct antly assent, But though such qualities lire rare in lue(), ought we to shut ourselves out from uvailiug ourselves of them in all future lime? h. The condition that the directors shall be of such anil such profession, is dictatorial und oilenslvo to our old and honorable corpoiatiou. 9. The most outrageous provision in the will, and the one which ulone should cause a rejection of tho trust, is Dial which virtually appoints one of tho lu mirauce companies of the city a perpetual guardian f the Library Company of Philadelphia. (Nee page i!5 of the wil'.) That company is en joined to see that the library company observes ull tiie conditions of the trust, anil of collide nitiy have a standing com mittee of their board upon the Itush trust, and claim free access to all t lie accounts and business of the library company. Observe, also, that if they can catch the library company tripping, they are to have charge of the fund themselves. We might continue at much greater length, but these objections seem siiiticieut tit induce, at any rate, delay until we can lake our olworvalion, com pute our exact position on the chart, and then shape a course which will be sale and prudent.

Oddn ntiri T.mn on thm Rvi f fhp Flection How the 1'ollilrRl Caldron Itubblrx. Tire election that comes off to-morrow has set the ardent attaches of all political creeds and parties actively at work In the last closing days of tho catn jmign. The quiet that has reigned with so little dis turbance as respects mass meetings and heleroge neons turn-outs of "the nnterritled," has been some what dispelled of late by the manicuvres of the wire pullers. This morning the Stte House pavement wears Its usual ante-eloctlon look of old times, and was well nigh Impassable to ordinary pedestrians. Scattered under the trees and upon the steps of the olllces are numerous groups of the ' rank and file," the men who at the various election precincts are used to do what, they are told and ask no questions. Certainly It is a curious question why on the eve of all ctectlons such lots of broad shouldered, beetled browed, dirty, shabily-dressed hangers-on lounge about the Immediate Tlclnitvof Independence Hall. To-morrow not one of these gentry will be seen In thut, neighborhood ; before that time, as the poet so appropriately and yet so delicately puts it, they will have Folded their tents like the Arabs, And as silently stole away. It Is rumored attout town that our worthy police guardians have been of late In pan relieved from their arduous duties of ornamenting tho street-corners scmt-oceasloiially, und of switching Btray little boys who don't treat them with quite as much re Bpect as their dlgnlllod bearing demands. These stalwart feeders on the public pap were, it, is as serted, ordered on duty In citizens dress at noon, Saturday, and were furnished with bundles of cir culars Issued by the Independent Reform Mutual Admiration Society, with instructions to slip these under the doors of Republican voters. These circu lars close as follows: "Ai.fc.-You enn no tho following ticket (is a ballot, if yon will cnioliilly follow thoho directions. Prosorvo Hum.

Glenn, Independent Ue publican candidate for Select Council In the Fif teenth ward, some curiouB charges are made against the regular nominee, Dr. William W. Uuruelf. On the one side, it is declared that the lector was a Democrat certainly until the close of tho Rebellion. and supported all their measures as an active parti san: und the pertinent point is made: "Hut we are told in lsou, live years arter the event, that he is pre pared to prduce aflidarit that he voted for Presi dent Lincoln in November, lstil. Iu other words, in order to obtain olllce, ho is ready to prove that while he was acting with and was trusted by his Democratic friends, he wits cheating them and was ai'tiLg in bad faith. ' In reply, Dr. Durnell writes: " Tis true I did visit Cliicugo as an admirer of General McClellan, before the Presidential election of 1SC4 occurred. I plainly saw the consequences of his election to the Presidency consequences of greater importance to the country at that time than would have been the defeat of Mr. Lincoln iu IbtK ; and at that time I left the Democratic party forever." Certaiuly this explanation, "if 'tis true, 'tis passing Htrubge." a case, rather muddled as fur as the character of the witnesses was concerned, was made as much outiof for political capital as possible, on last Satur day. Alderman Hurley had before him Christian Lamb, Charles Houghnot, Albert Fields, and Henry Mitchell, upon the charge of Hit-gat voting, and of inducing George Elliott, John Redding, and eight others to commit perjury before tiie Legislative Committee examining into the alleged right of William Rutin to a seat in the Legislature. The com. mitt.ee, it will be remembered, decided in favor of the contestant, Mr. Rutin, and Mr. William, the Hemocrat, was overthrown. Refore the cotumitee hlliott, Redding, and eight other persons swore that they voted the Democratic ticket one hundred aud fifty times voted euri.v and often iu each precinct. At 'the hearing on Saturday last, Elliott testlilea that, he and others had been privy to various frauds in the t.lectioti last year at the instigation of these Repiiblicnns. and had been bribed to give the former evidence beioro the Legislative Committee, it was rather a tough oiRStion tor outsiders to know which time he committed ronury. The defendants, how ever, were hold in fc.'joon bail each to auswer the charge. lewis Knox is looming up.but there Is some ques tion as to his particular Identity. In print the signa ture, "Lewis Knox," looks very much alike each tim-j it is repeated, no matter by whom it was written befoie being transferred, to the types, und hence, when we read in the papers a card signed "Lewis Knox." we are in douot as to whether it is the genuine Lewis or u bogus Lewis. In a Sunday paper vesteidnv appeared such a card. "Lewis Knox" re spcctlnlly Informed tho voters of the Second ward that he is a candidate for Alderman, the report of Mr. Kiigan whoever Mr. lliigan muy lie to the contrary notwithstanding. "Lewis Knox" then pro reeds to give Mr. llagaii a little sound advice, telling him that he "should rely upon his knowledge of how to make and drink whisky, his iiiagnilicent style of blaspheming, or his most excellent qualillcutions for the position of alderman, instead of resorting to one of the mean, cunning tricks that gave hlra the kind of nomination ho received." There's richness, of a verity; but equally rich is the closing sentence subscribed 'Lewis Knox." "We can not protect ourselves from a liar; we con id lock from a thief." And now again doth "Lewis Knox" put In an appearance before the people, delivering himself in the columns or a morn ing journal in the following bitter strain: "Tho notice appearing in the Nuiula.u Mtivvry of yester day, purporting to be issued aud signed by nie, is a forgery, and evidently written by some oue who knows' from experience how liars act, and how thieves are treated. I had no knowledge whatever of the publication until I saw it In print." A few atllduvits might possibly clear up this business. "Robert Moore, Eleventh ward," has giveu in at last. He has held out bravely us an independent candidate for the Legislature from the Ninth district, In which Samuel D. Dailey lias heretofore ruled the roust. This morning, however, ho rushes into print with a special notice, marked "ono time," in which, alter premising that he is "nt a Democrat for gain, but through principle," he sta'cs that lie desires to contemplate the success of the party to-morrow, and with the view of forwarding tho prospects of that rather improbable spectacle, 'desires to withdraw his name as a candidate for the Legislature." It will be seen from this announcement that Mr. Moore fully appreciates the functions of a legislator from the modern standpolut. If he were "a Democrat for gain," he would not retire from the contest not, perhaps, that he loves plunder less, but Democracy more. Samuel Josephs starts out a special In all the papers, has "represented or misrepresented'' the Third district during the past eight years, and then recommends an a remedy the electioa of Lieutenant Colonel Christopher Klein, whoso own personal card expresses his entire subjection "to the decision of the conservative voters " of the district. So it's nothing but a little Democratic row. The following notices have been prominently advertised in a morning journal: X'tl- MAJOR GF.NI'.HAL JOHN W. GEARY is ex pectod to bp ut the Great Kcnian Rail to-uiirlit. t HON. ASA PACKI'.H w ill be at iheOroat Fenian RallUvniiiiit.

The laiter gentleman, however, us the vulgar phrusc it, "can't see it lu that light," and appeals to that party as the regular nominee. Mr. GUliughain certainly is an admirer or the church rubrics thai Buy, "liCt all things be done decently and in order;" and his near vicinity to the Fourth ward, where the majorities are worked out. on the principles of regu larity und system, no doubt has had much to lio'in increasing his reverence for those things. Mr. Edward G. Lee publishes t lie following card : "I very much regret to learn that, my naiu j has been used as favoring the undue opposition to Wat son Coml.v, the candidate for Representative iu the Seventeenth Legislative district. 1 have upon an occasions, iu every way in my power, ly entreating and otherwise, sought to breuk down any eilort to defeat him by his own party, and l regard unv man as my political enemy who is thus engaged. I'deslre most heiutily to see him elected by tiie full Republi can vote of his district. " The contest in the Democratic ranks beMvcen Michael Mullen aud .!.!. n Forsylho waxes warm over the seat in the Lt'imdaturo Irom the Thirteenth district. The disttlct is composed of twelve election divisions, and consequently tho nominating conven tion was made up of tweiity-fuur delegates, of which number lifteen voted for Forsyttie. Rut tho Hon. Michael was not to bo put down In this outrageous fashion, und hence appealed to the City Executive Committee. Forsythe, knowing from past experience what would be the 1 jto of hlinsi If and friends ut their hands, re fused to submit to tile decision Of uuvhoilv of the voters ol the district themselves. Thereupon the City Executive Committee, which has been cur- rying Uufigs with a )ugii huud generally, throw him ovpTbosrd. and Mullen goes before the people with un- 1'ruM.ige oi -rpguiarny." Retween these rival there is a fair prospect that Mr. Joseph A. Welsz. the Hepubileau candidate, may slip Into the legislature. lie is a new man, and possibly will rrovetf elected, to be a good man, whlcu Mullen Is not, by t he very longest sort of a sight. 4 Election ofheers should remember that the blank forms and stationery necessary to conduct the gen rral election on the lath InM, will be ready to le- j tut- uuoge or earn Election Division, upon presentation of certificate of appointment, on and after Saturday, the nth Inst,, on application to the iifllce of the City Commissioners, in the Law Build ing, on Fifth street below Walnut. In our recent Interview with MavorFox. thatofn nnl expressed the hope that on election day he would be able to " make such arrangements as will ensure the preservation of the peace In every quarter, and enable every citizen to exercise his prerogative with out the slightest interference or intimidation." It is needless for us to remind his Honor that tho people hope to see a full realization of tho Mayor's hopes. TDK SWEAniNO OP El.KCTION OFFICERS.

Dr. James Markoe, No. li',20 Locust street, testified that on Friday last he Raw the woman McGarrigle, and she then stated to him that she had been sick since Monday, Oct. 4. Trevious to that she had been in perfect health. Witness examined her, and found her chest bruised in the riirht side, and this had bred Inflammation of the lungs.

Mrs. Ann Mahoney testitied that on last Sunday night week she heard the deceased woman shriek lug murder. The deceased often said that her hus band had whipped her. Witness heard her dyiug de claration that her husband hud kicked her.

On Sunday afternoon George Statib, a widowor, twenty-eight years of age, and a resident of No. 2-217 Nassau sireet, was found lying insensible at the bottom of a stone quarry, between the rear of Straw berry Munsion and the Schuylkill river. From bruises on his person It was at lirst supposed thut murder hnd been committed, and this supposition wus en hanced by the fact that dining the night a general fight hud taken place at the Mansion. Further Investigation by the detectives, however, gives the all'iiir another appearance. The following account Is given by parties who were of tho party with whom Stmib visited the resort: On lust Thursday afternoon lie wont with his friends to Strawberry Mansion, and between that nnd T o'clock drank so heavily as to become stu pidly intoxicated. About half-past 7 o'clock P. M. lie wus seen by a young man and woman in the grounds to go the reur of the house, and thence make his way towards the quarry. From marks iu the soft enrth on the edge of the precipice, it is pretty evident that he staggered on the brink, aud Ills feet breaking the earth away, he fell over, and so down fifty feet to the place where he was found the following morning. The light which took place did not commence until a couple of hours alter Staub was last seen. Though nllve when discovered, and although medical aid was procured, nothiug could be done for him, and he died on Saturday. The wounds on Stuub's head are said to be very slight, and only such as might have been received in his downward fall, the impressions of the skull having beeu discovered in the soft earth.

Another llnbrna Corpus for the Wonld-be iMnaslas-The Ijnwypra Aanln llnnieil, nnd the Writ Fall-Nxt Wednesday Week Fixed fortheTrlnl. in the Court of Quarter Sessions this mornlnjr, an other scene was enacted showing the desperate energy with which tho friends of the mtllaus who are to Bnswer for the attempted assassination of Detective James J. Urooks still labor to effect their rescue. Not a single point that gave the least show for an advautago to be gained has been untried, and this morning the last heavy stroke was given, which, however, as was the fate of oil its predecessors, was warded off by the com mendable vigilance of the authorities, and fell to the ground harmless; and It is hoped that their counsel may be too busily employed for the last great strug gle to penult them to disturb the interval between this and the trial with more or their sharp but abor tive etlorta to impede the course or Justice. At the Instance of the District. Attorney anrl by the trder of Judge Ludlow, the prisoners Donohtte, Marra, and Kogan were brought Into court by the Mterltr to be arraigned. William It. Mann and Lewis V. Cassldy, Esqs., their counsel, learning this, at once took out a writ of habeas corpus, as they said, lor the purpose or obtaining a reduction of ball, and prayed the Court to give a hearing upon this writ before the prisoners were forced to plead. Ills Honor Granted the writ, retiirtinliln forthwith. and the Sheriff at once made return that, the prison ers having been surrendered Into his custody upon a bench warrant from this court to be held for their appearance to answer the charge or assault and battery with Intent to kill James J. Urooks, were now In court, pursuant to an order by lug liouor, for the purpose of being arraigned. To this return Mr. Cussldy filed the rollowlng traverse by Marra, saying that as one case would de cide all, he supposed the reply or this prisoner ulone would he sufficient: Hugh Marra by way or traverse te the return filed in this case, says that he Is a 'citizen of this county; that he has never had a hearing berore any judge or Justice, nnd has never Been or heard his prosecutor or the witnesses who make charge against him. That he did not know or the existence of any bill of indictment ngalnst him till this morning, and then only by the return of the Sheritr. That no copy or the bill has been furnished or read to him. Tl'tit he avers there is nothing in the return, and could not legally be, thut will prevent the Judge heuring the case from inquiring Into the clrcitm stunrcsof this as required by the act or lts5, so that " loncuargeu irom liiini lHouuient or au- I mitted to ball. I And ror further answer he says that it will be 1m- possible tor the judge to determine according to law the amount or ball or how rar the relator Is con , ncctcd with nnv transaction renderlnir hint liable to I punlsement, to hear the circumstances connected vntnino perpetration of the crime named lu the sherill's return. Mr. llagert suggested that this was no traverse or the return, ror there wus no denial in it or any tact alleged by the return. So rar us the hearing was concerned, he would grant that In the matter or bull or discharge a citizen was primarily I'liuucu to mis preliminary hearing. nut these men wero fugitives from justice; they had opportunity to have thut hearing in the proper way by remaining in the Jurisdiction und appearing before the committing magistrate; mil tney had waived their r ght bv flight, and an in dictment had to be found iu their absence in order to obtain a requisition to bring them back. An aill davit of their tllcht. hud been nrcsented to his Honor, upon which the indictment was found and a bench warrant Issued. And tho indictment found pn eluded n hearing upon this writ. Mr. Cm sidy hero interposed by saying that he thought he was entitled to have seen that atlidavit that he might have had anon portunity of truverslng It. but he had had no notice whatever or it. He only knew that the prisoners were in the city on Thursday night, that ho was senr, for as counsel, and, though he hud to wait at tho suiiion-nouse until n'tiinignr. no was nuniuteii ny the mayor to consult with tliotn. tie considered inn indictment no bar to this writ proceeding, lor the actoi Assembly was explicit, that, t ne court in order to determine the amount ol bail in any cusi should inquire Into the circumstances of it, and this wus the oniy mettioii or currying out tins require. ment that he could think of. He only desired that the case of these men should pursue the ordinary usual course or business In a court or law, nnd that no iiistineiion snottui ne mane nenveon it ana otnr cases, or that they should be treated more severely t iidii otner iieieii'iatits. Mr. Mann here arose and said that this course on the part of the District Attorney was exactly what hu had seen In many cases in tills Court. The Com monwealth wanted to get, rid of a hearing upon the writ, to save themselves the labor ami inconveni ence of producing their testimony. When tiiey dis trusted their cuse, or wished to keep if. secret from the other side, the prosecuting otllcers always adopted the course of oppos'nga hearing upon a writ. Hut the defendant hnd a right to bo heard, a right of the most vital importance, to have a hearing before the court in order to ascertain the circumstances of the case that might require a large or small amount or bail, or perhaps to demand dis charge, u right that the Constitution guaranteed to every citizen. This court hud over and again heard thut when a citizen, arrested and Imprisoned in this manner, came in praying a hearing, the Common wealth's officer should not rise in his place, and, pro ducing u bill of indictment, or the finding of which the defendant hud no knowledge, say, "There, that settles it; you cannot be heard." The practice of the court for twenty-five years had been that when a defendant had "been given no hearing before the bill was found, he was entitled to a hearing before tho court iu order to have tho amount of his bail determined. True, the court had often said that where the citizen had a full and ample opportunity to be heard and had waived that opportunity, the indictment would be sufficient to prevent a hearing, and ho would have to give bail. Hut where there hud been no heuring, aud an Indict ment was found holding the delcmlaut for trial during the term in which the bill was found, it was irregular ami liable to bo quashed, and then the hearing would be allowed. This was tho cmse here, and certainly the indictment could not be allowed to operate as an obstruction to the prison er's right to be heard. They had never seen their prosecutor, had never beeu confronted by their ac cusers, they were in the dark and were here praying for that light which the act of Assembly said every citizen was entitled to. The District Attorney held the bill of indictment necessary to tho obtaining or a requisition: that might have been true enough, but 't hnd served its purpose, aud could not now be pleaded In preclusion or the right or tho citizen to a hearing; it had been used ror tho purpose of the requisition, but it was still for the Court to sny w hether the defendant was to be held, and In what amount of bail he should be held, nnd to tins it was necessary to go Into a hearing. The Constitution said excessive bail should not be de manded, and where such amount had been required lis seemed excessive and in violation of this provi sion, it seemed but the simplest kiud of Justice to grunt a heuring, in order that the propriety of the sum named should be inquired into. If tiie Court should grant a hearing, there wus no doubt that Peter Donahoue, oue of tile prisoners, would bo dis charged oltnget her, for against him there was not the slightest evidence. In deciding this controversy. Judge I.ndtow said : This habeas eorpiix law, in order to bo properly understood, must bo viewed in all Its Ughls, anil while I ugree with the prisoner's counsel iu the main of what they bav said, yet in some things they have uttered I must dill'er from them. The defendant, when a fugitive from justice, ns in the atlidavit lu this case these prisoners are alleged to be, may bo returned to his proper jurisdiction upon a requisi tion, and called at ouce to triul; und when so culled to trial hu may Impede it by interposing a writ. Strippod or all its legal and rhetorical verbiage, this is the simple pro position advanced by the pribouers' counsel. Within my knowledge, where men have been brought to the bur to plead, the Supreme Court has refused to in terfere by granting a writ of habeas corpus. Then how ran this proposition hold good, ir in such a case us this even the Supreme Court can not Issue tho writ? The power of the highest Court in the Com monwealth to grant this writ is by statute. Then, without violation to the object and spirit of the luw, which ure found by a reference to this statutary limi tation, the ptisoners upon being brought to trial, for their iiiiaigniiient is the imitative step iu their trial, can not interpose this writ aud defeat the trial. On Motuluy lust tho District Attorney made aill davit belore mo that parties charged with crime hud lied the jurisdiction. I ut once sent to the Grand Jury a bill 01 indictment, and Issued my bench warrant for their arrest. '1 ho Indictment was Bent to lluriisbuig, and the requisition procured. Of these lacts 1 have knowledge, a ad upon them I must act. It requires no argument to prove to me (hat tiie power of the Court and of the District Attorney In these cases is nil extraordinary power, but nevertheless they have It. 1 recollected a celebrated cuse decided by Judge King, who said that an indictment might be'seut up bv the Attorney-General (and now by the District At torney) without a preliminary hearing before u ma gistrate. Now, us to the practice of the court. There are many cases ol this uulure where parties come before the court to have iliey bail fixed, but they are not cases in which the parties ure here for trial. The principle is thut where the indictment Is found before the issuing of the writ, there tho writ U to bo quashed. And to tliow that tins is uuderstood by the luw I will mention one case, in which the de fendant was convicted of murder in tho lirst degree, where a monstrous ctlort was maio to take Out the writ before the indictment wus found, which succeeded, uud tho Court prohibited the Grand Jury from proceeding upon lie bill until the writ had beeu disposed of. I?nt whore the Indictment had been acted upon by the Grand Jury, and the facts therein charged have been acted upon by them, the writ subsequently issued must be quashed. 8uch being tho case here, now quash this writ. . Mr. Mann 1 wiah vnnr TTnnor to trnderfltand OUT object; we do not peck here to defeat a trial. Jnflge Ludlow I have not saui yon am, mr. Mr Ifann tint 1 b..nr that.

Mr. Hagcrt The C'onrt having qnasneu mo wru, I now move that the prisoners be arraigned. jnr. jviann i wish to . , Mr. llagert Hut, Mr. Mann, I have made amotion. Vr. Mann Well, sir, so have I. Mr. Hagcrt But mine was made first. Judge Ludlow Gentlemen! Mr. Mann it was a mere matter of Jumping np first. Mr. jTagert I was on my feet Bret, and mane my motion with my mouth first. Mr. wann l omy wish to sayinaiour buic "r wn to hnve Hip nmonnt of hall fixed in a Slim that might be reached, In order that tho prisoners might be able to have their liberty, which Is so essential in the proper preparation for their trial. You know how Important personal liberty Is in sueh an emergency, and the constitution nus gusratiK-eu u. iu rivi ""'T bv prohibiting the demand of excessive ball. If the Commonwealth will Bhow their hand, and acquaint vou with their case, you will fix tne iau in, iiu amount that enn bo obtained by tho prisoners, and they w ill be ready and prompt at their trial. It is not our object to defeat tne trial, lor wu uuu iwuwi Hint the case womd not be tried io-oay. .liuicm t ii,n.,wi iuh to tie understood by every body us having acted in this matter upon mature de liberation and upon principle. The allldavlts and Indictments berore nie charge that these men con spired to take the life of Mr. llrooks, anil that in pur suance of that conspiracy they went Into a store with a loaded pistol and discharged it into ins ooo.v. The Indictment has charged them with assault and buttery with intent to kill and mur der, ir the wounded party wero In dan ger or death, I would have refused to allow uuy ball at all. While 1 am far irom saying that any or the defendants are guilty or this, a tact or which I am profoundly Ignoninf, and I sincerely hope they may ull prove their entire innocence, yet I hold that under the circumstances or this case no less sum thun I havo mimed should have been taken. As a public ottlcer aud a man, I do not wish to be under stood as paying that any or these prisoners wus in any way more connected with this outrage than any other man in the community. After some parley between connsei, next; eo nesdoy week, the iiui.li lust., was fixed for tnc.trlul of the case. ELECTION DAY. The Mayor's Order to the Police Tor their CoihImcI To-morrow. This morning the Mayor summoned to his ofllce the Lieutenants uud Sergeants of the various Police Districts, and addressed them In reference to their duties for to-morrow. He said: 1 desire that when the men voto they shall bo in full uniform, and thut they shall vote in the eariy part of the day, between the hours ot 1 and 9 o'clock A. M., and having voted then quietly to retire; those w ho ure to patrol to go to their beats, nnd those de tailed for election polls to proceed to the opposite fide of the sireet, aud remain there, not talking roliiics, but demean themselves as public otllcers, and not as politicians. Under no circumstances are the men to go to the windows or the line or voters, except to suppress disturbances, or to remove those, who disturb voters. Such conduct to be observed all day. 1 especially desire nil superior olllceis to report the mimes or those who violate these Instruc tions. I am determined to do ull that 1 can to have a unlet election, and ailord abundant facility to every citizen to cast his bal lot without rear or interference. At night the men will be detailed for special duty at various points in the city, to be drawn upon in the event of a disturbance: anil tney mnsr. lm uiciiiy ooey ine orders of the olllcers appointed to lead squads incase of emergency. I trust that no necessity will arise that will reuuire action In masses, either during the day or night. In case the necessity to muke arrests dies arise during voting, I desire that immediate facilities for hearings befoie a magistrate shall be atlorded, that there may be no coniinemetits for un necessary periods. I again enjoin upon you to act as public oinccrs, iinn not us politicians, ami ocg you all to realize that you are men clothed with power; and every man should regard it to be a solemn duty to exercise that power in such a manner as wiil meet nil impartial public approval. The public have a right to this course of notion, and we ought ta fullil that requirement. I will expect, there fore, these instructions to be fully carried out. The otllcers were then dismissed. The lieutenants will bo furnished witli detailed instructions at 5 o'clock tins afternoon. We understand that ns no additional precaution against policemen interfering in politics to-morrow. the lorce is to be transposed us far as practicable, so as to remove the men from their accustomed dis tricts to others where they have no interest iu local candidates.
