Coroner• Taylor, yesterday afternoon, con= eluded his investigation in the case of Mary L. Watts, the old lady who was brutally murdered on Saturday morning, last in her own house at Germantown. The investiga tion, as before, took "plaCe at the German *own Station House, where the murderer, Christian Berger, was also present. The bellowing additional testimony was elicited: Thomas Shingle, sworn—Resides on Queen street; knew Miss Watts for several years; Met Christian Berger on Saturday morning at 11- o'clock, at the corner of Main and; Queen streets; saw him standing alone on the northwest corner, he remained near Mr. ,fluntington's stable; witness watched the man; saw him cross the street; an exprea nion about Berger's face attracted his , Eaten lion; he watched him, and saw Berger re turn his glances, but latter soon turned his head away; , was positive the prisoner was the man; had never seen him anice; had on a slouch hat like , that he wears at present. Wlll' Yake, sworn—Reside on Queen etreet,bialow -.Green; knew Miss Watts for eighteen months; told him she had money; .saw her last en 'Thursday; knew the pri soner two weeks previous to the murder; on 'Ziaturday saw lam at Queen and Main streets, between 6-1- and 7 o'clock in the - morning; did not particularly notice him; tor a Week or ten days previous witness saw him standing there; had called Mr. Funk's . itttention to the fact; never saw him there before; saw Mrs. Lippincott leave Miss Watts before he saw prisoner standing on the corner; did not mention seeing the man until evening;told Mr. Hughes about it; had .thought before something , annoyed Berger; saw him standing there on Friday afternoon talking to Kephard's son; had seen him 'stay there until 8 or 9 o'clock in the morn hag; knew nothing about the circumstances. Mr. Smith Hughes, sworn—Spent the whole of Saturday in aiding to ferret out the murderer. Shingle described the clothing of the man standing in the street while at tea. Jake brought something to the house and stated that he saw a man- with dark clothes there; witness started for the Ser geant of Police. They again saw the par ties and got description of the man. Wit ness did not know of ever having seen Ber ger before; had not been in Miss Watts's house for two years; had concluded the murderer must have escaped by the back way; saw the footprints in the snow, and measured them. [The measurements were here submitted to the jury; length, eleven and one third inches distrance from back of heel to front, two and three-fourths inches, two and five-eights inches across the heel. A comparison was made with Berger's boot, recovered by the officers.] Witness resumed; he found on trial, on Sunday - morning, that the hoot fitted 54 pear in the track that he concluded it must be one like the boot produced to the jury; the measure ments do not correspond exactly; thought the tracks were made by a person running last; thought something like the extra sole in this boot must have made the peculiar appearance it did by throwing up the snow. Sergeant Emanuel Dickinson, sworn Knew the murdered lady; had frequently conversed with her in passing; his attention was called to the murder about 8 o'clock, by a boy, who said Mr. Bowman wished to see him. Witness took charge of the house until relieved by two officers. He and Mr. Hughes called on Shingle and Yake and took their statement; he proceeded to Ber ger's house on School lane about 9 o'clock in the evening; Berger was up stairs; called him outside and said he wanted him for an examination about the murder; asked him had he not been standing outside of Miss Watts's house; Berger said "Yes," and that he had walked down Main street; having no money to ride in the cars; Berger denied going down Queen street; searched pri soners pockets; found $l9 19 and one dollar in silver halves: Berger stated the amounts he had spent making in all about $53 which he said had been paid him by a man who had owed it, though he afterwards said the amount was $5O. Witness told him the amounts would not correspond, but he could not account for the difference. • Lieut. Dungan, sworn—Mr. Hughes called his attention to the murder about 8 o'clock; he despatched officers tothe scene; first.saw Berger with Sergt. Dickinson; . Detective Taggart conversed with the prisoner; a razor was found about sixty yards from the York road above Fishers lane; Berger con fessed that he threw it there. [Razor pro duced. It was clotted with blood, bat the handle was clean.] • Mr. John Berger, father of the prisoner' was called. The witness was very much affected, and itwas with difficulty that he could give in his testimony, He testified that he resided in Thompson street, near ' Gelder, in Richmond; the prisoner was his son; saw him on Tuesday week at witness' home; his son was there not quite an hour, when he went out with his mother; witness shaved at home; had two razors [razor and ease shown]. The case contains many ini tials, the other razor at home did not re semble this one; his son had received money whenever he wished it; he never asked wit ness for a razor; he could not identify the the bloody razor as his for certain; the handle lookedlike it; left the razors on the table or mantlepiece; anybody might have taken them; his son was twenty years of age; - [this is evidently a mistake, the wit ness being much confused at the. time; the age of the prisoner is set down at 23 years;] had given his son money; had not lately offered him work; witness once told. him he had done enough for him, his son . used to work in a dye-house; witness was engaged at the Richmond coal wharves; had not lately offered his son work there; lie had said he had money owing him down town. Mr. Joshua Taggert, being sworn, de posed—Re was a detective officer, and on iSaturday night had first heard of a murder from the Chief of Police; on Sunday morn , Mg saw the officers at the house; came out and Faw Berger up stairs in the hall; an Sunday had several interviews with him and was satisfied he was not telling the truth; had told him he believed he had probably committed a robbery, and asked him to confess it and save his time; Berger said he had stolen money, and related cir cumstances which proved not to be true, - and stated how he spent it; Berger still stuck in the evening to the tale of the rob bery committed a year and a half before. and said he had sewed the money uo in his coat, and had never since opened it: sent for a tailor and found his tale was not true; afterwards in the cell, al one with Berger, the witness went over the whole case, and declared to the pris - son& that be thought the murder was con : mined by him. Berger had made a conies ' sion of •the• interview. with Miss Watt; he said he remenabered. going in; remembered .pushing -her down; admitted that he struck • her; but would not admit that the cut her • throat; the witness got him to repeat nor ',: ' tiona of that on Monday night,before others; • • on Tuesday he had made a confession; it might, be in that "very room, before half a • dozen of persons, that he had actually corn mitred the-deed,: saying, he supposed he had "Igincked.hei - dowik; remembered doing that ..and after , that said he locked 'the door, but wonld not eibilit that he cut her throat; lie aria tiMkt, lz9 was tap stairs when the -- 7 came to the ," front door. opened it a, little, - and 'then • locked: it again;' went out the back door; went down Fisher's,; Lane; lOoked at the razor; forind it:bloody,.; -and threw;it away. He stated afterwards he got the-razor from his father on' the day when his:fathet was killing hogs, which turned out to , be true; he had found. it lying on the mantle-piece, and had put it into his pocket carried it away. The witness did no press him about his motives for committing the deed. Berger said he had only got on the front steps, when Miss Watts opened the door the instant he stepped on the porch, ao that there way no delay on the steps. As 'soon as he got in he supposed: he struck her, about 7 o'clock; he said he supposed he had cut her throat, but did not remember_what he had done; he said he had not knovfh her. The witness had a con-c versation 'With him about the money and he said he did not' remember taking it; he said he supposed it was up stairs contained in the bureau; that the prst knowledge he had about taking the money was when he took the razor from his pocket and found the money there. ' The prisoner first broke down in his denials about the boot, at the appearance of blood on the soles; he said he bad not been in a slaughter-house, but had been in a butcher-shop, and might have got it on from off the floor there; he said he had kicked a piece of meat with his foot, and afterwards explained the extra bloodi ness by saying it might have been the liver. He also said that six or seven days previous there was some horse-meat lying iii the , street, and he had kicked a piece of it around the road. The apparent blood-marks left on the boot were very faint; the Doctor said it resembled blood, but the particles were so small that it could not be reduced to certainty; he did not recollect about cutting her throat, but said he remembers knocking her down; pushing her down; he said, "I must have knocked her down, but do not remember cutting her throat;" he said that nobody was with him; that he was entirely alone; the witness had made no threats to him in getting the in formation, and had held out no induce• ments to him; only on the first interview was he alone with the prisoner; all the other interviews were in the presence of other parties. Elizabeth Lippincott testified that Miss Watts last summer, had said she had one hundred dollars in the house, to use in re pairing the dwelling, but did not show it to her; the door of that room had always been locked; had never seen the money, except what went into the bank; had said she would have the house done in the spring; Miss Watts had always said she had no money, and had borrowed from the witness; had never opened the door of that room in the day or night time; Miss Watts had had a dog, and had given it away, had seen Berger in his L.own house on Friday night; was there only three minutes, and had said nothing to him; on Saturday came out to go to work and saw a man standing outside, but took no notice of him. After a short deliberation, the jury ren dered a verdict "that the said Mary \Vatts came to her death from injuries inflicted at the hands of Christian Berger, on the morn ing of January 6, 1866, at her house, Queen street, west of Main." CITY COUNCILS. The regular meeting was held yesterday afternoon. SELECT BRANCH. Mr. King introduced resolutions with re ference to the death of Patrick O'Rourke. member from the Twenty•fah Ward, which were adopted. A message was received from Mayor Mc- Michael, enclosing a communication from It C. McMurtrie and David W. Sellers, at torneys for Messrs. Clark, McGraw & Ken nedy, contractors for the masonry at the Chestnut street bridge. It is complained that pay is withheld for the work done by the firm, when in fact the delay in the com pletion of the bridge is due to other parties, and not to those who furnished the masonry. The communication suggests that the city provide for the payment of the bill or allow interest on the amount. Referred to the Committee on Law. Mr. Gray introduced, from the Committee on Water, an ordinance providing that in all cases where fire plugs are placed over vaults or excavations, the owner of the premises shall provide supports for the same, and protect it by boxing, and in case of injury to the plugs, the owners shall be at the ex pence of repairs. Adopted. Mr. Gray presented a report from the Chief Engineer of the Water Works, with refer ence to the work upon the extension of the Water Works. Mr. Birkinbine states that at the outset, in company with the City Treasurer, he called upon Mayor Henry, who was of opinion that the loan was to be sold at whatever price it would bring in the market. The work was then commenced, and the Mayor met all the requisitions the Department made for the sale of the loan to meet the expense and labor and materials up to Nov. 20, 1865, which last requisition he refused, upon the ground that the City Solicitor had given his opinion that the loan could not be legally sold at less than par. Mayor McMichael takes the same view. All money in the treasury. the proceeds of the sale of this loan, is now expended, and some bills for labor and' materials due Jan let are still unpaid. The Chief Engineer refersito the fact, that trenches have been dug, and if there should be no further action, the work will not only cease, but there will be great obstaele to travel. Mr. Gray reported from the Committee on Water a resolution, that the City Trea surer be instructed to pay out of env moneys in the Treasury all warrants drawn by the Chief Engineer of the Water Depart ment against the water loan for labor and material, unless otherwise noted on the face of the warrant. The amount so paid to be hereafter reimbursed from the sale of the said loan. Postponed. Mr. Barlow, Chairman of the Committee on Street Cleansing, reported an ordinance reorganizing the Department of Street Cleansing. The bill provides, as in the other bills, for a Commissioner, who is to be under the supervision of the Committee on Street Cleansing. The Commissioner is authorized to direct the movement .of the men employed, but there is no provision for the Supervisors or Policemen. A long de bate ensued, and the bill was passed. Mr. Freeman offered the following: .Resolved, that the Committee on Law be directed to examine and report "if Mr. John Given has been acting as City Commissioner since January 1, 1860, and if so, what secu rity for the faithful performance of the duties of the office is held by the city." Agreed to. Adjourned. COMMON BRANCH. Mr. Hancock offered a resolution instruct ing the City Solicitor to commence proceed pigs against the Germantown and Norris town railroad for'their neglect in notplacing flagmen along the route of their road, 'in accordance with an 'ordinance of Councils.

Mr. Johnson (Md.) said he had no reluc tance in addressing the Senate on this sub ject, because of his connection with the Special Committee of fifteen, and because the opinions he was about to • state were the opinions he had entertained from the begin ning oh the subject in question. He under stood Mr. Howe to contend that the effect of the hostilities we have been carrying on to suppress an insurrection in certain States and which prevailed some four years, is to extinguish altogether these States, as such, and to reduce the territory of which those States were composed at the time the insur rection broke out to the condition of Terri- tortes, and subject the people of these States to be governed under that clause of the Constitution which gives to P.,ongress the power to govern the Territories, or, on the ground that they have been conquered by the United States, that the power to govern them is a right we have derived from the right of conquest, when the conquest is coin p let e.
