8 Till. DAILY EVKM1NG TKLKGRA I'll PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 1871 CITY 1 It TBLH UBilUU, THE CAMDEN KIPPERS. The Ttstlmony All In-Nemmlne; Ut mf (Joenasl. The United States Court-room at Trenton was filled to the utmost, on Tuesday, by parties drawn thither to hear the trial of Francis bouders, one of the Camden rioters. Anion? tho spectators was a large number of colored men, who have, from the first, evinced great In terest In the proceedings. The evidence being all in, John J. Kin;, As sistant District Attorney, began the summing up on the part of the Woverntnent. Mr. King, after thanking the jury for their earnest attention and unwearied patience during the progress of this lengthy trial, began his argument by referring to the great importance of the Issues involved. It was a trial which claimed, not only the attention of the township and county wherein tho crime was committed not only of the iHate of New Jersey, but of every lover of liberty throughout the land ihit it was impossible to imagine a greater crime ngainst the peace and welfare of this nation than the one charged against the defendant. It is a crime which etrlkes at the very life of this republic. lie then proceeded to show upon what all republican forms of government rested that our republic derived all its force and ellleacy from the consent of the governed, as expressed through their representative chosen by them from among themselves that this consent, which we call "suffrage," is the foundation upon which our Government is constructed, and is the life-blood whiub. courses through all its system, and that it is absolutely necessary to de'end this prerogative in all its purity, as the dearest treasure we possess; that if we permit it to become prostituted or suffer the unhallowed hand of crime or the bitterness of partisau strife to control its action, our republic is gone forever, and with it all the blefiblogs which freedom bestows. lie then referred to the preamble to the Con stitution of the United fctates to show the ex alted privileges secured to every American citi zen by the Constitution; that all its provisions and all its laws were made for the purpose of seenring those blessings to this people; that, in pursuance of the authority given to Congress by that instrument, the fifteenth amendment was patscd and lawfully ratified by the requisite number of States, and had become a part of the Constitution, and as citizens we were bound to respect and obey it; that by that law the negroes were made citizens, and as such were entitled to the same rights as ourselves; that the Constitution empowers Con gress to make regulations concerning the elec tions of members of Congress; that by virtue thereof the law under which this indictment is brought was passed. He then stated the real points in issue against the defendant, etc., and reviewed in a very able manner the evidence of tho many witnesses sworn. lie was followed by Mr. Browning for the de fense, who made a forcible appeal in behalf of his client. Mr. Drowning labored hard to show that the colored men were not obstructed in their efforts to vote. Concert at the Bedkokd Street Mission. A grand concert of vocal and instrumental mufic was given Inst evening at the Bedford Street Mission by the ladles and gentlemen of the choir of the Green Street Methodist Episco pal Church. 1 he affair was a brilliant success, the audience being large and enthusiastic, and composed of the most fashionable residents of Bedford street and vicinity. The concert went off In excellent style, and the entertainment was highly enjoyed by those in attendance. The hit of the evening was the song of 'The Farmer's Boy." with a whistling accompany ment by Mr. Theodore Oves. This brought down the house, and occasioned an enthusiastic demand for an encore. All the ladies and gentlemen of the choir entered heartily Into the spirit of the affair, aud the pleasure which their efforts afforded must have been in the highest degree gratifying to them. It is scarcely necessary for us to suggest that such an entertainment as this must have a beneficial effect upon the people of tho Bod ford street district, and that it must aid mate rially in civilizing and Christianizing them. On Monday next another concert will be given, when a number of glees aud other popular pieces will be Eung, Ff.1i enade to Dn. IT. T. Helmuold. Last cveniDg, at about 12 o'clock, a fine serenade was tendered to the well-known Dr. II. T. Ilelmbold, at the Continental Hotel, where that distinguished person has been staying for two or three days past, attending to matters con nected with his immense business Interests. The serenade was tendered by Beck's Philadel phia Band, and it was intended as a compli ment in recognition of many personal favors received by members of the band from the Doctor while at Long Branch during the two preceding seasons. Only twelve hours' notice had been given of the occurrence ti the mem bers of the baud, but there was a fine turnout, and the selections played were excellent. Among other things a galop was performed, which was composed by Don! worth, of New York, and dedicated to Mrs. Ilelmbold. After the band had delighted its auditors for some time they were invited by the Doctor to Parlor C of the hotel, where a fine entertainment, con sisting of all the delicacies of the season, was spread. Ample justice was done to the good things provided by all present, after which more music was furnished, aud tho party dis persed. A Corner op Ciu rches. At the northwest corner of Broad and Arch streets is erected a handeeme Baptist church, and at the southeast corner stands a white marble church edltlce of the Methodist denomination. The lot of ground at the southwest corner was yesterday purchased by Messrs. W. L. Bchaffer aud 8. Gross Fry for $G0,(X0. These gentlemen were appointed a committee to represent a number of prominent members of the English Lutheran Church in this city, who Intend erecting on the property a new church edifice at a cost of t'400,000, of which Kev.

A meeting of the sub-committee of the New Public Buildings Commission was held at noon to-day in the new Court House. Mr. II. Huhn occupied the chair. A communication was received from Mr. M. 8. Carman, giving in detail his bid for concrete foundations. Postponed. Mr. John Mc s.rlhur. architect, to whom wa, referred the bids for the foundations and cellar walls for tho proposed new public buildings, made a report to tho elTecl that the bid of Mr. (iorgns for stone from the Mount Airy quarries, at $'.if0 per perch, is the lowct ofltred, beiug ,4'75 below the bid of the Consohocken (Quarries for dimension stone, and below the same for the smaller stone, and f.V75 below the bid of the Lciper fc Lewis Quarries for dimension stone, and tO 10 per perch below the same for the smaller stone. The bid of the ConBohocken Stone Quarry Company for select dimension stone nl $7'.") per perch is 1 per perch less thnn that of Lciper tc Lewis for Chester stone, whose bid Is f 8 '.25 per perc h. The bid for large size rubble of the Lelper it Lewis Chester quarries at $2C0 per perch is .'58 cents lower than that of the Conshohockcn Stone Quarry Company, whoso bid is $ i W per perch, but by comtiiuing the bids for the dimen sion and tmnller stone together the proposal of the CoiiEhchoekeu stone quarry is the most favorable, based upon the relative amount of each size probably required. For laying stone and furnishing mortar the proposal of Drake Si Hutchinson is 73 cents per perch below that of Mr. Carman on dimension stone and 25 cents per perch on the smaller sizes. The proposal of N'orris 8.

Mr. Carman's bid is also .1-47)J per perch below that of Hutchinson it Drake lor Conshohockcn Blot e, w hich they average at $3 .'$ 5 per perch. Mr. Carmaus bid is based upon etoue from Mc Ilvaiu or Lciper quarries. The report was, on motion, postponed for tho present. On motion of Mr. Gray, it was agreed to re port favorably to the board upon tho bid of Mr. McLaughlin at 74 cents per yard for excavation, and recommended that his security be fixed at o0,C00. On motion, the committee adjourned. FUA'EKAL OF HAXLOX. The Ilurlol from the Undertaker's This IMorn-InK-An ICncrr t'rowrt Ibe Alleged Confes sion of Hie Murderer. When It was ascertained that the remains of Ilanlon bad been conveyed from tho prison to the establishment of James McGinnis, under taker, No I'M North Seventeenth street, there were not lacking people with curiosity enough to make that locality an object of their especial attention, and notwithstanding tho drizzling rain of this morning a considerable crowd had assembled in front of the undertaker's establish ment. A number of policemen, however, were ou hand to preserve order and to keep the side walks clear. The parties in charge of tte body were exceedingly reticent as to the dis position of the remains, aud it was gossipped around the streets that the body had been con veyed to Millvllle, New Jersey, where the ptrents of Hanlon reside; but as nothing posi tive was known on the subject, the crowd kept up an eager watch on the house lor further developments. 1 ho body, however, was kept in the under taker's establishment all night, and this morning at half past 10 o'clock the funeral took place. everything connected witu the last ceremonies was couducted as quietly as possible. There wero present but six carriages and a hearse, and none were present out the family and nearest relatives of the dead man. The remains were enclosed in a colli n covered with, black cloth and mounted with silver. After the con clusion of the funeral ceremonlos the carriages were quickly filled and drove off to the burial ground. The place of interment was not stated, the parties in charge preserving the same reti cence in this particular as in others, but it was rumored thai the burial took place In the Cathe dral Cemetery. Since the execution oi the murderer there has been considerable talk to the effect that he had left a statement. A reporter of The Evening TEi.EORArn after diligent inquiry has been un able to trace tho assertion to any reliable foun dation. Certain it is, that no statement what ever has been left with Superintendent Perkins. and that gentleman is ignorant of such a paper in me cuttoay oi any otner party, What ilan lon (aid on the scaffold yesterday is probably bis last words. Any communications he made to his religious adviser, of course, are secret, and never will be divulged unless by special direc tion of the dead man. Engineers' Association of Philadelphia.

The Npcrlnl Tm for the RrtrlWa of the New Il l Honor Mayor Fox sent to City Councils this att( rnuMi ttie following vcio message: (JhMi FMKN: 1 herewith return without mv at- rrovnl the bill entitled "An ordinance to levy an I Ux a special tax rale for the erection of pu'illc bnlMitifr and to appropriate the amount realized from iu h levy." In its first section it autnom.rs tho Hoard or Kn- vlMon to ley and assess the special tax contem fUtrd by the bill. As no act of Assembly clothes this b aid with any power to levy and asc taxes, It Is manifc st that they could lawfully exerciso no snchpcwir; and the oidlnnnce must, therefore, uliollyfail to accomplish Us purpose. The third section of the proposed ordinance appropriates the rroEcj ralhd by the tax to the use of alio Commis sioners," int dws not designate what commission ers, ami the M l nowhere authorizes tho drawing "f wimatits aprtlnr-t the fiiud.vthtcti It provides shall he paid, when realized. Into the f'liy Treasury. More over, It omits to provide f r ny mode of collecting, the tax, and prescribes no penalties for delay, nor discounts lor promptitude in Its payment. With out these, Its collection before tho end of the ye.ir could scarcely t e expected. if these were the only objections to this ordinance. though Ii tsl to It In Its existing firm, they could be ri silily obviated by the passage of an amended and mutinied bill ; tmt there are i.ther dlmcnlMe ol a grave character affecting the lawfulness of the pro posed action at this tluif, which it Is m duty re sputfully to suggest for your consideration, In tha In pe that If the? seem to you to have weight, they may be removed by pronir t action on tho part of the Legislature now in session. 1 he act of Assembly which creates the Commis sion of public IlulldinpR remiires that tho coiiiiuls- siorers shall make requisition on the Councils of said city prior to the tint day of December n each I year, for the arm, tint of money required for tha pur poses oi me comniiHSlonr uticcffiinuj year; end snld Councils shall levy a special tax to raise tho 8niount required, "provided that said Councils may at any lime, make appropriat ions out of the an Mial tax In aid of the purposes of this act." jt is quisuonatiie whither umter the language of this fiiactmetit a special tax can tic authorized ex cept during the month of IJocetnier. The requisi tions must be male nrlor to the ilrstday ol tint month, and It Is to provide for the moneys required during the succeeding year. The lltuita'lon of time for nmklng the requisition which Imposes upon Councils the duty of levying the special tux, Is fol lowed Immediately by authority for Councils "at any tine" to appropriate In aid ol the workout of the general taxation. Without expressing any dec.id-id of inion us to the meaning or tliene provisions, I sub mit them to you as worthy of careful consideration, and suggest that all doubt concerning the Interpre tation oi uie act in points so important can now us readily removed by further legislation. 1 am reany to ana will cheerfully co-operate.

The excellencies of the Newsboys' Home on LocuBt street are keenly appreciated by the people of Philadelphia, but for the proper car rying out to the full extent the objects of the institution, another one similar in design was needed. It is known that after the members of tho Newsboys' Home have attained a pre scribed age or have changed their occupation the Homo is no longer oneu to them. This provision, the adoption of which was found necessary, oi course was tne means by wbicti numbers of its former inmates were compelled to sceK ooaru ana longings eiscwnere, and the gentlemen then in charge of the Home con ceived tbe idea that a Young Men's Home would be a very proper insti tution to establish. The above considera tions, however, were not the only motives which led to steps being taken for the Inaugu ration of a Young Men's Home; for there ar rive in Philadelphia every year a large number of young men from the surrounding districts woo nope to una in i Diiaaeipnia tho way to fortune. These strangers come among us with out any definite knowleege of our city, and many of them arc drawn Into vico simply tnrougn Deing Burrouuuea oy improper lullu- ences. It was conceived that if Homes for such could be established In various parts of Philadelphia, where the homeetss could be surrounded by the beet of influences, that one of tbe great designs of practical Christianity would be fulfilled. With this view a sum amounting to $17,000 Is now In the hands of the Secretary of the Younor Men's Home, and a considerable amount has been realized by subscription. No institution has yet been established, as the design is yet in its inception, and when the necessary legisla tion is accomplished the Institution will be promptly established. in oruer, nowever, to increase the means of efficiency in the good work, a bill consolidating tne xoung men s Jiome witn tne rounir Men s Christian Association is now before the Legisla ture, aud will pass that body in a day or two; indeed, the act passed the Senate this morning. a meeting oi tne managers oi the iiomo was held to-day, and the proposed legislation met with the promptest favor. J. he i. -Yi. c. a. purpose to push the matter. and make it a part of their work when it is accomplished. It will be another addition to the many noble charities In the possession of which Philadelphia may proudly boast. It gives us great pleasure to notice that the operators of the celebrated William Penn coal mined by Samuel . Grlseom & Co. have ap pointed Mr. Henry C. Pollock sole agent to the Philadelphia trade for the sale of their coal. We wish himevery success In his new under taking. lhc ax. ireTSLEicmwcxi. Tbe RobblotlDlvorce Case-The Wlfe' Version. CiAirt of Common J'leat Judge J'eirce. Long before the opening of the Court this morning a crowd of sensation seekers, the surplus of the world's Inhabitants, thronged ttie entrance Into the State House building, all seeking admission to tho scene of social uuhapplness which v. us to be re sumed ; but happily J udge Pelrce wisely took the precaution of placing an oillcer on the outside, who kept back all who were not immediately connected with the case or were not members of the bar, thus avoiding all the disorder that lias prevailed Inside the court-room during the previous days of the trial. The case for the respondent was opened by John C. Bullitt, Esq., who first gave a brief narrative of the condition of these parties before the institution of these proceedings. Mrs. Kobbins was the daugh ter of Mr. Jacob Blake, a farmer working his own land with bis own hands, and Mr. Kobbins was the Bbii of a neighboring farmer; and there being but one year's ditferenco between their ages, they grew up from childhood together. Mr. Kobbins came to the city and engaged successfully in tho Iron busi ness, aud soon afterwards, In lbM, married his pre sent wife. They at first lived la a house in Tenth street, which was plainly furnlshHd by her father, and she was a foul, loving and true wife, attending to her home, her children, and her husband. They afterwards lived In different houses, and finally Mr. KubbtnR, con sidering his fortune made, took thn house at Twen tieth and (J recn streets, furnished it superbly, and lived in first style, endeavoring to raise himvulf to social distinction, whilst his wife remained the un assuming domestic wife she was from the first. He then enguged lu oil spsculatlous aud lost, and lu 1SC4, upon returning from the oil regions, his man ner changed in every respect; he became cold, an 1 this strange separation took place. Tlieu he brought this suit, and accused her ol the foulest crime a wife could be guilty of, and attempted to make his charge food ny tiie oams ui much puopie as jonn itiuey, bob lamllton, and Maria Carey, all ot whom dare not fix a duy for the occurrences they testified to, leaving her without the possibility of contradicting them. But It would be shown that she was innocent of al the on'enses Imputed to her, aud then demand a ver dict lu her vindication. Mrs. Susan Hamilton sworn I am the wife of Hubert Hamilton; 1 luive four children living; they are Cherry, aged ten; Mary, aged seven ; llaus, agrqd five; aud the bubv. aged two; Kanuy Smith was in y sister; mv child Mary lived with her, I think, In tne winter of 1bi.; she used to be with her at odd days before this; she whs a little over two years old when tbe went to live with Fanny Smith; she did not live who r anoy omuii prior to tne ueatu or my lather lu-.aw ; he died on the Both of January live years ago.

On a general discussion which ensued Mr. Maraball ex pressed the opinion I bat a majority of the poople were ia. favor of a constitutional reform. Mr. Hall said that among tbe eubjeota to oom before tho eenveation were those of lifting tbe judiciary above politics, of prohibiting special legislation, and of the ir present at ion of minoiitiea.
