The lcRislatlve committee on the Oraham
"Mooney content met this morning, at house No.
733 Sansom street, at 10 o'clock. Eight mem
kcrs of the committee were present.
A motion wan made by the counsel for Mr. Mooney
to reconsider tbe decision or the committee allowing
a count of the ballon and the opening of the boxen.
The motion waa entertained and argued at some
length on both sides. Mr. J. Alexander Simpson,
who desired the count, claimed that more votes had
been counted than there were voter tn the ward In
question. He stated that the supposition wan that
the fcoxea were In the same condition as when they
were deposited In the vault. If the other side affirm
that the; have been tampered with, the burden ot
t roof Is npon them to prove It.
The committee considered the subject, and after
deliberation again decided to open the boxes.
The boxes of several divisions were produced by
the Recorder, and the one containing the election
papers of the Eighth division of the Hlxtb ward was
opened by Mr. Simpson. The lint of voters was
found to contain 419 names. The papers were all
offered In evidence. Mr. Simpson then read aud
called the attention of the committee to several
aauies for the purpose of proving illegal votos.
No. 01 on the list of voters is U. F. Bpeer, marked
as residing at No. 288 N. Fourth street. No such
name Is on the registry, or anything like it.
No. 140, John II. Crouse, no residence given, Is
marked by the clerk of the election as not on the
registry. On one list he is marked as residing at No.
28 New Street.
No. 201, Courad Croft, No. 220 N. Fifth street, not
cn the list.
No. 249, Boscr Freldenllng, No. 32T New street, not
on registry.
No. 2), Charles Dosenbcrger, on one list, is a dif
ferent tame on tno other.
No. 41!, Lewis Witters, No. Oil Race street,
marked bv clerk, "Not on registry."
No. 418, O. VY. Wornrles. Nu. 9 Eliot's avenue, not
on list.
It was stated that It could be proved that some of
these men were dead and that others hod removed
some time before the election.
Mr. Simpson then said he wished to call the Re
corder of the city, and the election oftlcers of the
division as witnesses to prove how these Iwxes had
been kept, and to certify that these were the same
papers that were deposited on the evening of the
election. This waa objected to by the counsel for
ilr. Mooney.
After argument and deliberation, It waa decided
not to receive the testimony. The other boxes pro
duced were not opened, because the divisions were
not contained in the petition. The committee then
adjt.urned to meet on Wednesday next In Harris
burg. FIRES.

The Lorti.la.rd Steamship Like Impor
tant to Merchants. By special card, to be
found In another column, it will be observed
that the nnprccedentedly low rates by this line
namely, 5 cents per 100 lbs., 2 cents per foot, or
$4 cent per gallon (ship's option), will go into
effect on and after Monday, 7th instant. Such
lias been the golden success of this line that its
enterprising agent, John F. Ohl, has found it
imperative to add two more steamships to this
branch of its business, which will run daily,
taking freight through in twenty-two hour.
The atteution of merchants generally is called
to the fact that hereafter the regular shippers
ly this line will only be charged 10 cents per 100
lbs., or 4 cents per foot, during the winter
season.

A TRAGEDY FOR FIFTEeFcESTS.
A Man Thrown from n Slid on the Now Jer
y Central Itallroad-klfiren Cents the
(Jnaie of tbe Quarrel The Prisoner's Mtate
nPDt. The murder at Buy Ridge, on the New Jersey
Central Railroad, appears, upon further Investi
gation, to have been the result of a quarrel be
tween two vagrants for tho possession of fifteen
rents, and to have been perpetrated with great
violence and atrocity. The scene of the murder
was so far removed from any habitation, and
the circumstances of the case were so difficult
to ascertain, that it was not until yesterday
afternoon that tho facts of the case came to be
fully known, and even now much depends upon
the statements of the arrested party, who is
charged with the commission of the crime.
On Thursday two vagrants, George Roehag,
and another the victim in the tragedy, whose
name is uuknown, owing to the failure of the
station boufe keeper to record It left the Fourth
ward lodgers-room in Elizabeth, and walked up
Broad street to a lngcr beer saloon, where they
purchased breud and beer, after which they then
took their leave. They walked along the track
of tho Central Railroad to Elizabetbport, eating
their scanty breaking, and making slow pro
gress towards N.w York. Roehag was dressed
in light blue army pantaloons, black threadbare
sack coat, a slouch hut, and a pair of wornout
boots, stuffed with rags to prevent Injury to his
feet in his frequent tramps.
His companion was poorly clad in a grey coat,
plaid pants, and a dirty white cap. As they
ucared the Central llailroad drawbridge over
Newark Bay, Mr. Patrick Clark, one of the
bridge watchmen, observed them at a distance
gesticulating in an animated manner, and evi
dently on the point of quarrolling. Clark's
attention was soon called away, and he followed
their movements no longer. A short time after
wards he went with Mr. James Flood, another
watchman, towards the spot where he had seen
the men conversing near the west side of the
bay where they found one of the men (Rochag)
sitting npon the timbers alone, covered with
blood, and evidently exhausted from hit
troggje.
The watchman, convinced that ho had fought
with his companion, and that he had thrown the
latter off the bridge, took Rochag into custody
at once. Their prisoner did not hesitate to tell
his story. Upon being questioned, ho said that
his fellow-traveller wauled to borrow fifteen
cents, and that he had refused to lend it because
it was nearly all iho money ho had. Tho rrfusal
to comply with tho request made upon him gave
rise to angry words, and Rochag stated that he
was at 'aso attacked by his companion, with
threats that he would be thrown off the bridge
l: ho did not give up the money.
Ihe fight ended finally by the assailant being
thrown off the bridge Into tne water below. The
prisoner could not tell whether he had killed
him before he threw him ironi the bridge, or
whether he was drowned.
An examination of the spot where the fliht
occurred was soon nfterwards made, and large
spots of blood were fouud at different places
wlthiu the space of two rods from the place
where the murdered man was thrown off. A
search was made lor the bod', but it could not
be recovered.
Justice Meyers, of the township of Bayonne,
held an examination of the prisoner, and upon
its conclusion, late on Thursday night, the latter
was sent to Elizabeth, where ho was incarcerated
In the Union County Jail. Testimony was given
at the examination by Clark and Hood, the
watchmen, Messrs. .Tames Grant, George Whit
ney, and Charles Mackin, who were cognizant
each of some fact bearing upos. the case.
Our reporter visited the prisoner in his cell
yestcrdny. He is a small man, of dark com
plexion, and has a pleasing expresdon, and
epeaks frankly and unhesitatingly of the tra
gedy In which he took part. Ho says h was
forced to fight for his life, that he was attacked
without provocation, and is willing to meet his
trial JV. Y. World to-day.

lie opposes what is known as the Bullock party
in Georgia, for whose benefit the bill Is reported.

to-day.
The Funding Hill.
Several Senators bad interviews with tho Sec

Funding bill, among them Messrs. Chandler,
Wilson, and Sherman. Mr. Wilson's amend
ment, allowing the Secretary of the Treasury to
negotiate a loan of ten-forty bonds at a rate of
Interest not exceeding five per cent., is opposed
by many Senators on the ground that when it is
known that tho Secretary has power to pay five
per cent, capitalists will not take bonds at a less
rate. Secretary Bontwcll advocates long bonds
at 4 per cent., which he thinks can be nego
tiated. Cnatoms Receipt.
From June 30 to March 1, 1S09, the receipts

The IIonBe met for debate on the Georgia bill, no
other business bt-uig in order.
Mr. Farnsworth resumed his argument against tho
bill, and contradicted the statement made yesterday
by Mr. Butler, of Massachusetts, tbat only two mem
bers from Georgia bad been admitted to the House
of the last Congress, and that through mistake,
the (act being that six members out of the seven
were admitted. In criticism of the theory that
the Government of Georgia was only provisional,
he called attention to the fact that eveu Governor
Bullock, of Georgia, bad not been signing himself
Provisional Governor of Georgia, but Governor of
Georgia; that his messages to the Legislature
were not addressed to the Provisional Legislature,
bnt to tbe Legislature of Georgia; and that the tern
oath, which all officers of the Provisional Govern
ment were required to take, was not taken by n6
onicers of the existing State Government. Y.peMog
he also wanted to know whether a Vrovlsionai
State Government could ratify an -meuament to
tno Constitution of the United Sftos?
What became of the ratlii'tlon of the fourteenth
amendment by the LeE1aittiure or Georgia If the
theory was correct Uli tjt Legislature was not
only provisional h'at liiwjalv
Mr. Lawreuoo WySIVid that a provisional legislature
was Just aa lswr'.l and regular and bad the same
power Within the scope of Us authority as any other
iegi9iainr
Mr. raraswonn remarked mat according to tins
bill the Georgia Legislature was not only provisional
but was Illegal, and the logto of the bill, as well as of
the speech of Mr. Butler yesterday, was that every
thing doue by that Legislature, including the elec
tion of I. S. Senators, was Illegal, and therefore its
ratification of the fourteenth amendment was also
Illegal.
Why not as well declare that Bulloek ahull be
Governor of Georgia for six years, or for life? Why, It
was monstrous, and more monstrous mill In the face
and eyes of tbe fact that tho same Governor was
charged by the State Treasurer, an honorable, up.

for tho bill was that If not passed the Republican

The gentleman from Massachusetts (Mr. Butler! had
vcRtentay raised the cry of murder lu the House.
Whenever he wanted to pass one of these Recon
struction bills, he got up in the House, and, with

would be a most Infernal outrago on the Ui.v-pyrn
of the State. He believed that this bill was In the
Interest of a few people, who desired to perpetuate
their reign to that they might put money In their
pontes.
Mr. Lawrence made a leirat argument In defense
of the bill and to prove that the present State organi
zation of Georgia Is only provisional.
Much of his speech was In reply to objections an4
questions put by Mr. Farnsworth. One of these
was to the point that the Senate had treated Georgia
not as a provixtonal butas an astual Slate govern
ment, to which Mr. Lawrence replied In a sugges
tion, which caused some laughter, that the Senate
had not yet read hit speech.

Paris, March 5. An official note has been
published to-day, denying a statement made in
the Moniteur to the effect that the prisoners
who were arrested during the recent troubles
were compelled to remain in ' confinement
twenty days without having an examination.
The note says all the prisoners were duly in
terrogated, but they refused to answer as to the
conspiracy, and they were therefore imprisoned
for contumacy. Of the five hundred persons
arrested seventy-four remain in custody, all on
serious charges.

Continued from the Third Edition,
In reply to a suggestion by Mr. Mayhcw that the
State of Georgia would not have been interfered
with by Congress bad it not been for tne expulsion
of the negro members of the Legislature.
Mr. Lawrence said that God in Ilia providence had
permitted the Rebels so to demean themselves as to
iluaJIv brine Conaress to a sense of its duty, and
enable Congress to do what it should have doue be
fore, it waa not lie nrst instance 01 ine una in nis
tory. Mr. Eldridge asked whether Georgia would have
been reconstructed if she had sent to Congress a
rabid, fanatical Republican delegation?
Mr. Lawrence replied that If Georgia had sent to
botn houses a regular radical set of Representatives
aud Senators, as she ougbt to have done, and If she
had also excluded from her Legislature colored Re
publicans, CongresB would have taken Georgia for
that crime against the Constitution, God, and
humanity into her military control and recon
structed her.
In reply to another remark of Mr. Eldrldge's
on the subject of paying the war deOt,
Mr. Lawrence said that Congress would increase
the tax on whisky, and thus make the Democratic
party contribute Us share. (Laughter.) In reply to
the qnesllou of Mr. Parnswortli, as to when a provi
sional legislature had ratilleu a constitutional amend
ment, he asked when had anything else but a provi
sional, legislature in any oue of the late Rebel Status
ratiued a constitutional amendment .
Mr. Farnsworth. Never-never.
Mr. Lawrence. I undertake to say that every ratifi
cation of the thirteenth, fourteenth, and fifteenth
aiuendmei.ts by every Rebel State has been by a
provisioLal legislature, and before the State was ad
mitted to representation in Congress.
