Witness took particular notice of the front door during his patrol, aud found it closed be tween x,i and 4ja A.M.; he beard no alarm whistle until Washington Nathan called the porter of the Fifth Avenue Hotel; ke had tried tbe, door at h A. M.; wire screens stood in the open windows of Mr. Nathan's bedroom; a l'gtit was burning in the front room during the night, which was visible from the street; on ancending the stairs ho found the door of Mr. Nathan's room, leading into Uie hall, opcu, and also the loor of the housekeeper's room, at the back; he saw a carriage standing at No. 103 West Twenty second street, but no other in that street, during the morning; the house was of an objectionable character. By Muansell IL Field, juryman Saw the corpse of Mr. Nathan on the opposite side of the room, immediately on entering; the blood on the "dog" was dry; bloody footsteps were on the hall stairs ; they were all descending foot steps; saw no blood upon tha door or upon its handle, nor yet in the hall, except the foot prints. There was no blood on the bed, but some cop pers were upon it; saw the pantaloons, shirt, and vest of Mr. Nathan; saw Frederick Nathan pick one of them up; the clothes were against the wall; the watch was gone from the vest; no j blood was on the vest; Mr. Frederick Nathau opened a pocketbook and said there was a paper in it; did not look in the pocketbook; Frederick Nathan picked up the shirt; there were no studs in it, but sleeve buttons on the wristbands; there was a small patch of blood on oue sleeve: there was blood on the walls of the room on each side of the door leading to the study; saw carpenter's tools in a chest in the house; they lay there in a disorderly way; saw the house keeper; said nothing to her, nor she to him; did not try the back door nor exaniiuo the fastenings. By the Coroner There was blood ou the front of Frederick Nathan's shirt, apparently daubed, aud a spot on the front of tbo shirt; the house keeper told witness that she had been avoke by the noise of Mr. Washington Nathan's loud calls; Washington Nathan said: "Oilicer, oili cer, come in oilicer, come in." On witness reaching the steps, he said: "My father has been murdered;'' did not notice whether Washington Nathan bad or had not stockings on bis feet; noticed stockings on the feet of Frederick Natbaa; saw a tin box with an open lid in the study, with papers lying ou the desk; also saw an overturned chair; there was a wooden drawer on Mr. Nathan's bed, con taining three coppers; there was no blood ou the box. Immense Additional Rewards Offered. The family offer a series of additional rewards lor the detection of the murderer and the re covery of certain articles p.tolen ut the time of the murder. These rewards are as follows: Ten thousand dellars reward for the arrest and conviction of the murderer of Mr. Nathan. Two hundred and fifty dollars reward for tho identification and recovery of the three diamond ebirt-studs taken from the clothing of deceased by the murderer. One thousand dollars reward for the gold anchor, stem-winder, hunting-case watch, nine teen lines, No. 5057, Edward Perregaux maker; also stolen by tho murderer. One hundred and twenty-fivo dollars reward for an old-fashioned open-laced gold watch no description stolen from the sale ou tho niijbt of the murder. Five hundred dollars reward for tho ideuUQ cation of the steel "dog," or clamp, used as a weapon to commit the murder. '1 be tool b :ing used by ship-carpenters, pump-makers, boat builders, and other hardwood workers. Five hundred dollars reward for the man to couae forward who was seeu to ascend tho steps of the Nathan residence, ou the morulag of the murder, and after' picking up a piece of white paper walk away with the same. It will thus be seen that there are several new clues announced for the purpose of affording the general public an opportunity to aid in tho hue and cry after the murderer. The aggregate reward offered for the detection and conviction of the murderer is now the temptlog sum of 140,000, and tho remainder Is divided up iu smaller sums lor the recovery o! the watch and diamond studs taken from the clothing of the murdered man, and a watch, a gold medal, and a piece of paper picked up by an unknown man on the stoop, besides the identification of the murderous "dog." It is to be hoped that come of these lesser rewards will be speedily claimed by thoso fortunate enough to be in possession of information, as they will be of material use to the detectives in their search for the criminal. Heal Impeaches Governor Hoffman. In a statement to the public. Real refers as follows to Governor Hoffman: I have not been without hopes of a commutation of my sen tence. It has seemed Impossible to me that s tuch evidence should not have bad its effect upon the mind of the Governor. What mau in my position could have thought otherwise ? The Governor offers the Nathan murder, and Judge Baruard held up the Rogers murder as an excuse for my death. But what bad 1 to do with those murders ? I did not murder either Mr. Nathan or Mr. Rogers. I should bave had justice without any reference to those murders. Should I, an innocent man, be sent to the gallows because the police failed to discover the men who did those bloody deeds f But these are mere excuses. I am sent to my grave for far different reasons. All my po litical friends in the Twenty-first ward were, opposed to Mr. Hoff man's nomination for Gov ernor. Tbey gave all their support to the Hon. Henry C. Murphy of Brooklyn, who was a rival candidate. So long as my frleuds sustained Mr. Hoffman and the other Tammany nomiuees, so long I was undisturbed. My case was never called to trial until my friends supported Mr. Murphy as a candidate for Governor, months and months after I wag arrested. These ticts are not only known to Gov. Jlofftnau, but to nearly every politician in the city. The Tumnmny politicians took advantage of the excitement caused oy lb a itinera murder lu j uuitti uy fiends for their refuel t-- support Hoffman by bringing me to trial. Oakey Hall sat upon the bench with Judge Barnard, and the trial was rushed through without a'lofftng me time to defend myself. Had my friends continued to nphold Tammany, I might now bave been at liberty. Men are now at large through the influence of Tammany who have committed, unlike mo, unprovoked murders. CIVf lltTELLIUIinCIl, A SINGULAR CASE. ltobbery and Arrest. On Monday night the mill of Messrs. Crocker & McBridc, manufacturers of shawls, situate on Shoemaker's lane, near the station of the Germantown Railroad Company, was entered and robbed of a lot of shawls to the value of $1"0. The Fourteenth district police were noti fied, but could find no traces of the thieves. But singular ense occasionally occur in police matters, and this was destined to be one of them. Karly yesterday morning one of tho Ninth dietrict officers found lying on the pave ment in Callowhill street, near Twenty-third, nn inebrated chap named John Moore, and by Ms side a carpet-bag containing two new shawls. Moore was token to the station house, and being unable to account for his possessing tho goo.U was sent to prison. ' Lieutenant Souder supposing that thev hid been stolen immediately detailed Special Oilicer McOraneto notify all known shawl manufac turers, which he did, a number of them visiting tho station house but falling to identify the stolen property. Tho Lieutenant was beginning to think that the fellow was inuocent of theft when yesterday afternoon he was called upon by Mr. William J. McBride, of the above-named firm, who desired to see the shawls. The goods were at once shown him and readily identified as part of the articles stolen on Monday night. The prisoner Moore was then sent for, and Mr. McBride, on facing him, remembered to have seen him prowling around the mill on Monday afternoon. Tho evidence being so con clusive, Moore was taken before Alderman Pan coast, where the above facts were reiterated. Moore now resides in Hotel de Perkins. INSANITY. Attempted Wife Murder. About 7 HO o'clock last night Officers Lex and Vnnderslice, of the Delaware Harbor Police force, were startled by piercing cries of "Mur der!'' and searching around found that they came from tho second story of the house No. 7-8 North Front street. Entering through tho street door they ascended the stairs, and on reaching the room at the head thereof, saw the occupant, Edw. Stover, endeavoring to throw his wife out of the window. Approaching him, Stover let go his hold on the woman, and made a fierce onslaught on the officers. They for a moment dealt easily with him, supposing that he was intoxicated, but from tho foaming at the mouth and the wild glaring of his eyes they soon discovered that he was in sane. Arranging their plan of attack, one ap proached him from the rear, whilst the other menaced him in front, and iu this way ho was cornered and captured. He was at once removed to the Seventh Dis trict Station-llouse and thence to the insane department of the Almshouse. Had it not been for the speedy assistance rendered by the offi cers, Mrs. S. no doubt would have met her death at the hands of her maniac husbaud. Views or tiie Seat of War. There have just been received at the Galleries, No. 1125 Chesnut street, a large number of magulficent photographic view& of scenes in Belgium, Hol land, and other parts of Germany. These views include streets and buildings in Berlin, Potsdam, Cbarlottenburg, Coblentz, Jena, Weimar, Ems, Erfurt, Weishaden, Baden-Baden, Brussels, Amsterdam, Waterloo, Liege, Ypres, Rotter dam, Utrecht, and Hcidclburg. Iu addition to the above there are one hundred views of the Rh'nc, which are of special importance and interest at this moment. Among these are in cluded all the great fortifications which are now surrounded by the hostile armies of Franco and Prussia. These pictures were taken by some of the best French photographers during the pre sent year, and they represent the various places as they now appear, so that they are really the best war views that are likely to be placed before the American puone, until alter the con elusion of hostilities, at least. "A Switzer." John Buehler, a native of Switzerland, was employed a tew days since by one Walter Verbeek, of Port Penn, Delaware, to help pick peaches for him. John worked well for a time, but ascertaining that on the place was a trunk belonging to one Nelson Linsen.con- taluing some casu, ne picked the locH thereof, and removing $250 in notes and a lot of jewelry. took the boat for this city.

On him was found $46 of the money and two watches. John stated that he had paid $17 for one and $50 for the other. The remainder of the cash he said had been used in recovering some clothes from pawn and in carousing. John professed penitence and offered to refund all he had stolen. He will have a bearing to-day at the Central Station, and will ne sent to ueiaware tor trial. Commissioner's Cash.

This morning a young man ans wering to the name of Charles Baum was put upon trial on a charge of attempting to forge and utter the check of George II. Vandyke & Co., liquor mercbarts, in Market street, above Sixth, upon the Nutional Bank of the Repuhlic. From the evidence it appears that on the 25th of May the rlsoner took a room at tne tst. Charles Hotel, i) Third street, registering himself as James A. Lewis, of Boston. A 'few days afterwards he went to Mr. Vandyke and purchased a bill of. liquors amounting to $ia-50, which he directed to be sent to JNo. fis Callowhill street, where he said his brother, Adam Baum, Jr., kept a liquor store. He gave a fifty dollar note in payment, requesting change to be made by $17 50 cash and $20 by check, which was done and then he went away, tne liquor was sent to tho place designated by him, but no such person as Adam Baum, Jr., could be found there; in fact, the number was a tin shop. In a short time ho returned to the store and said he bad been unfortunate with his check, that be bad accidentally used It In order to light a cigar, mistaking it for a piece of waste paper, lie produced tne remnaut or the check, which certainly had the appearance of having been burned, but at tho earae time emitted strongly the smell of oxalic acid. Mr. Vandyke suspected something wrong, and accordingly sent for Detective Gordon, who came around and took Baum into custody. He told the de tective that he was stopping at the Western Hotel, but a letter found on him contradicted the assertion. A number of checks, some filled and others blank, were found on him. In his room at the hotel a lamp, a small tin cup burned black and smelling of acid, and a piece of paoer labelled "oxalic acid," were found, which led to the theory that he had attempted to obliterate the figures on the check by holdin? it over the acid while burning,and held the check too near the flume, lhe fact that he had endeavored to have the cheek certified as good at the National Bank of the Republic before it was at all do faced, seemed to corroborate this view. The case is still on trial. LATEST SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE. For ailditional Maxim .Yews see Inside Pages. PORT OF PHILADELPHIA AUGUST 5 STATS OF THERMOMETER AT TUB EVENING TKLBORAPH OFFICE. 7 A.

In an Interview with President B.iez to-day he said the republic was in a peaceful condition, and that he did not antici pate any Interruption to the present state of affairs so long aj our Government fchould manifest a desire for the annexation of the republic to the United States. I learn from other sources tbat the rejection of the treaty by the United States Senate has caused considera ble disappointment to the people of St. Do mingo city and its vicinity, and tbat some per sons, Including both those who favor the treaty and those hostile to annexation, are disposed to attribute it to mismanagement and bad faith on the part of the Dominican Government in the negotiation of the treaty. I am Inclined to the opinion that a withdrawal of the protection of the United States, and of the prospect of an nexation at some future time, would lead to revolution by Cabral."

The steamship City of Melbourne bad 48 passengers engaged for London. It was not likely that Webb's line of steamers would obtain a subsidy from Australia. Prince Alfred was expected in Sydney on the 1st of August. Great preparations were making for an inter colonial exhibition. A nugget of gold weighing 93 pounds had been found in Victoria.

"The directors of the Bank of Englaud, at their usual weekly meeting this afteruoon, further advanced the rate of discount, which is now six per cent. This action ot a body of men who are credited with ever faithfully discerning the financial prospect, although generally antici pated in this country, has a significance aud importance which point directly to tbo dread that England is about to be involved in the war of empires which seems to hang over the destiny of all Europe. A few weeks since the rate of discount was only three per cent. It was at first advanced but a half per cent., as much througn an ignorance of the magnitude of the war then threatened as through a desire to prevent a financial panic and to bring the money rate gradually to a figure which should protect the interests of the Bank of England in- the monetary movements to ensue upon a state of hostilities. The latest advance the doubling of the original rate and the prospect of a higher rate next week, whicU would not in the least surprise Wall street, are a tightening of the purse strings which denote an apprehension tbat the great 'shopkeeper of nations' may be drawn into the war. To us in this country it is significant that In London to day, despite this change iu the discount rate, our Five-twenties were firm and a shade higher while English consols were weak and lower. WLat Is the inference? That the time has already passed when the first symptoms of war and the rush to sell depressed our securities below tbelr Intrinsic value, and that the reaction has set in which is to assign them their real place above every European national security dealt in at the London btock Exchange. The speculative holders bave lost their bonds and the capitalists and private Investors now hold them. Had this intelligence reached us at any other season than the present, when Wall street la at the seaside and watering places, the dul ness and inactivity of the hour would give place to buoyancy, activity, and excitement. The money market showed a further relaxa tion, and the transactions on call at rates above five per cent, were purely exceptlocal. The prevailing rates on all classes of collaterals were four and live per cent., the larger government dealers having balances left with them at three per cent. "Foreign exchange was lower, although nomi nally quoted lOU'offilOil' for sixty days ster ling and 110ail() for sight bills. Tho pres ent demands of the market 6cem to be fully supplied by the bills drawn against the recent loan of the Baring Brothers. "The Government market was strong, but shared the general dulness of the day. Prices advanced on light transactions, and the under tone of the market was decidedly firm. The steadiness of our securities in the English mar ket, the ligbt olferiutrs to-day at the Treasury purchase, and the steadiness of gold, combined to occasion an advance of a quarter to three-eighths per cent, in the more active issues. It ehouid not be forgotteu, how ever, that tne foreign bankers, who were heavy purchasers at the recent low quota tions, bought simply for a brief speculative turn and not for investment Hence, if the present pi ices should briDg out sales of the bonds so held it will not be at all surprising. Indeed, the street may be prepared to see these reactions; but If the telegrams concerning the Loudon market state the truth it is extremely doubtful whether speculative sales at these prices s ill prove at all profitable. Tbe government offer to purchase elicited proposals for the sale of onlyl,793.200 bonds. "The gold market opened on the street at 123, but declined to 121 on the firm prices for our bonds In London. As soon as the advance iu tbe rate of discount was made known the price recovered to 122, but again went off to 121 when It was found that the higher rate for money in London had not depressed American securities. Furthermore, although the specie shipment to-day was over a million and a half dollars, it Is doubtful whether the shipments for the immediate future will be in proportion to tbe amounts sent since the inauguration of hos tilities in Europe. The condition of the f jrcla exchanges is against any other presumption." FOURTH. EDIT ION THE MEMPHIS JUDICIAL ELECTION Increase of Tay in tho Wavy.
