Gallagher; Sergeant Holden, Dead NathanS, Xavier Belcher, 'George Berger," Christian Barth and miiny others were called,;.-and testified to the good character hitherto borne by the, prisoner. Martin Brannan was sworn, and identified one'eof the razors :which had been. produced bYthe latherlot the prisoner as' his razors as hiving been, sold-to him by the, witness about three years ago. _ Upon 'cross-examination witness 'failed to name any particulaimarks upon the razor by which' he identified it, but, he, said' he , was certain it was the 'same Which he had sold to John Berg,er, who was his "uncle or cousin " SamUel H. Needles,sworn—Am engaged at woolen Mill; the prisoner worked at the mill in September ' and October last, and was paid altogether, for his labor in that time, $4.6 67; from what I saw of him there he was' quiet, inoffensive man. Cross , -exammed—lie came 'the mill after he left; several times;' after work; the lasttime he was there was ;December 2743, when I told hinkit, WaS impossible to give hini'ivork; Ann Ferguson, sworn—Live German'- town, next door to'where Bergsir lived; saw and conversed with hini the day Miss Watts was killed; saw him about 11' o'clock; he spoke'tts me about the murder; his'man ner was as , usual; no agitation and nb ex citetnent, his inamierjust as retinal. • Max Gersenberger, sworn—l am a tailor, and do business at Seventh and Poplar; the peisoner has . bought clothing of me; about two-months since'he ordered an overcoat of me to be done in a week's time;he 'called then and tried it on; and-said he would call again;lhen came and ordered pants and vest; he called 'and said he was not pre -pared to pay for them; this,' according to my recollections, • was 'on Friday before Christmas; he told me not to sell them as he would call about New Year's, as he ex pected' to have a settlement and would then pay for them. Cross-examined—He did not call for the clothing, they werenot paid for and are still in my possession. Sigmund Albright, sworn—l am a shoe maker for over 30 years; am at 107 South Eighth street, at Conrad's. [Berger's boot shown to witness.] There is nothing ex traordinary, about this boot; it is a well made common boot, with an extra sole tacked on. [A new double soled boot handed witness.] Mr. Brooke asked witness if the new boot, in his opinion, would make any dif ferent impression in snow from the old boot? The District Attorney objected to the question as being but an opinion that the witness was requested to give, and he was not an expert as to what kind of a track a boot would make in the snow. Mr. Brooke withdrew the qnestion, and the boots were handed to the jury for in- spection. Dr. Levis, recalled—Fibrin exists in all warm-blooded and even some cold-blooded snimals; it exists in other substances, such as chyle, (Sm.; the quantity of fibrin varies in different individuals, and in the same individuals at different times of the day; I cannot state what proportion of fibrin exist; a proportionate analysis would be -IZmost impossible; i Canit state the figures what proportion fibrin bears to the whole mass of blood; there is no uniform authority upon the subject; I siated that it, flowed from living vessels, blood contains fibrin until and after it coagulates; blood flowing upon a razor and clotting necessarily con tains fibrins; I mean from a living body; the characteristics of the blood upon. the razor was most markedly that of human blood; I judge so from the size of the glo bules or corpuscles; the size of these .do vary in different animals; the spots upon the razor were certainly blood; I will not state certainly that they were human blood. Cross-examined by the District Attorney —The blood upon the razor had 'all the characteristics of human blood. To Judge Ludlow—r cannot state whether the Riots were of the blood of the animal man, or of a hog. The defence here closed. Dr. Leedom called by the Commonwealth in rebuttal. The District Attorney said he proposed to prove by this witness that John Bates, who testified to having seen a man dressed in soldier's clothes standing on the steps of Miss Watts' house the morning of the mur der, had met with an accident, had fallen down a well, and that since that time his mind bad been affected, and his memory was not to be relied upon. Objected to by prisoner's counsel as not rebuttal. After argument the objection was overruled. Dr. Leedom—Have attended Bates; com menced attending him 6th of October ' five years ago, and attended him, till 6th of No vember; I' saw him with an injury on the brain; wounded on the forehead, and was unconscious at the time and so continued for about two weeks; have seen him at long intervals occasionally since; his recavery left his' mind in a very feeble state; bad memory; his memory was not reliable. --- Benj.' 'Stevenson,' sworn—Have known Mates 20 years; he is 'a machinist; works for - me,.and is allthe time under My notice; five or six years ago he had an accident and fell in a well; visited him when he was sick and insensible; when he got well I tciok him in my employ again, but after a week or two had to aischarge him; what he knew for he 'could not remember; he couldnot remember-five minutes at a time; he would then come about - the shop and would - tell the same story over again two or three times before he left the shop; in •the last five or six - months is, better; lam satisfied his memory is weak. • • Detective Tryon, sworn—Saw Bates the day of the murder; when I saw him I was endeavoring to ascertain the appearance of the man he saw standing at Miss Watts' door; he at that time was unable to give me any description of what the man had on his head.' The commonwealth here closed. . • Coroner - Taylor recalled by the defence— Bates was - .examined at the Coroner's in quest-the same day of the murder. The evident ; here closed on both sides; and the ,Court djottrned till this morning. ;allforina and China. . SAN' Fnanctsco, Feb.

Alleged Outrages on the Freedmen in , houthern • - • A letter-from Vicksburg, dated Jan. 16th, says : ' { It is for the interest of the country to, know how the different parts of our recon - - struction policy are working. The ques:. thins relatmg. to withdrawing'troops from this State, to 'the efficient protection of the negro and tho Northern white man, and the safety of the United States Tax Colleotor, are • soon to -be decided; and the decisions wffi not be wise unless significant facts are known. Capt. Matthews, of the 66th' U. S. C. 1., for" some time on duty in the Southern- part of the State, but now in this place, reports that last month -an Mld negro rran, sent by his late master ana present employer on an" errand' some miles from home, was arrested by •about fifty of the State militia, and flogged and stamped upon till hie breast bone was- broken, for being away from home.He offered te prove that he had been sent on , a proper errand by white people, bit the militia Lieutenant woula hear nothing:. ' The same month a United States soldier, 'with a .pass, was beset in - the streets of a town by armed white men, his buttons 'cut off, and he was ordered to leave town in an houron pain of death. - On the same night, a party of a dozen, or more white citizens went to a building oc cupied as a colored school-hotuse ,brokeit ' open, and gave the teacher ' unthli.he next morning to quit the place. This teacher was a colored matt, and had permission to teach front, a Provost Marshal.- This might prove a convenient way to pay debts to a northern teacher, or to any stranger not be- 1 longing to the chivalry. About the holidays, a - company of mili tia, the particular description of which I omit, "patrolled the country, and gave the negroes a general flogging, whether at home attending to business, or absent. On the plantation, a women was liter ally cut in pieces; in which - himself, ' a militiaman, took an active part." On another plantation a woman was badly beaten the same night, the owner of the plantation, also a militiaman, present and engaged in the affair. The father of this' last conservator of rights is a Justice of the Peace in that beat. On a third place, still another woman was flogged by the chival rous militia, and has since disappeared, (murdered?) . p e 8 r The following night, the Lieutenant and his chivalry confiscated two ponies of a black man, who showed them a bill of sale' for them, telling him that "negroes were not allowed any property larger than a chicken." He further says-: "In some four or five townships or beats in the counties of and -- nine-tenths of the entire white male population have actually perjured themselves in taking the amnesty oath. This same country is continually reporting negro insurrections as being on foot. No wonderthat such an inmate in their minds as the recollection of their own nefarious actions should instigate this subtertuge to screen themselves by implicating others." This portion of the State is seldom visited by United States troops, or persons inte rested in reporting outrages committed on, freedmen. Communication is difficnit;but if the Captain's statement is true, the proper authorities should look after the matter. Pennsylvania Legislature. (GLOBE Or YESTERDAY'S PROCEEDINGS.] Si.NATE.—The House amend ment,„ to the bill, incorporating the Philadelphia and Southern Mail Steamship Company, allow ing any railroad company to purchase stock; was agreed to. The discussion on Mr. Landon's resolu tions relative to negro suffrage, was re sumed, after which the Senate adjourned. , HOTJSE.—Mr. Quay introduced an act to incorporate the Susquehanna and Ohiq Railroad. The corporators named are D. A: Finney, Marion Kent, J. R. Barrett, J, Harvey Robinson, Isaac Gordon, and others. The capital stock is fixed at $5,000,000 in one hundred thousand shares of $5O each, with power to increase to an amount not exceeding $10,000,000, and to borrow an equal amount on seven per cent. bonds secured by mortgage, each bond being for $lOO. The company shall have the right to build and equip a single or double track railroad from a point on the line of the State of OhiP in Mercer county to the town of Lewisburg, in Union county, by way of Franklin, Clarion, Brookville, Reynolds ville, Clearfield, Bellefonte, and AaronS burg (all of which shall be points on the line), with the right to connect with any road to Northumberland county, or at either end or intermediate point. The grading shall be commenced at Franklin, or at the - western end, and proceed eastwardly in one continuous line until completed. Section sth declares "that Tor the purpose of fully protecting the mining, manufactur ing and all other interests cif the citizens of Pennsylvania, it is hereby specially pro vided that all traffic, carried upon said line, or any part thereof, It:e;teeeding 100 miles, shall ne carried at the minimum rates per ton per mile, or per passenger per mile, that the same classes of freight or passengers may at any time be carried fora greater dis tances, either an the line hereby authorized or in connectittn with any other road or roads, or any other means of transportation, east or west' of its terminus; or between those point's; and any violation of this prow vision shall work a forfeiture of the charter by. the Legiilature, and ,the State may thereupon take :possession of the road for public' use." An, act providing for the perpetuation of 'the evidence of lost deeds,was passed. Anact - repealing what is known as the Tioga-Lendlord Act of 1865, (by which col liery, furnace and other proprietors could, on' fesil days' notice, eject tenants from their - houses who refused, to work in their own Aestablishments,) was considered. The 'House adjourned before any actiPn taken on the bill. • . General Howard on the Freedmen. This Tort. Feb. I.—General 0. O.

In addressing the colored people he had always commenced by telling them that they were free and their joy was. indescribable. - It was the purpose of our. President and Congress, and the Suprerne 'Court,' to do right, and he recognized a Divine Power in our past movements that was still guiding us. He closed with a strong argument in favor of giving the negroes all the rights of freemen, and urged all to do theliduty, and also made statements to show that he had not exaggerated the wants of the freedmen in his report' to the Goiernment.
