then got inside of Dom,hue's room, where Domp

the admissions by tbe prisoner that he committed

The delence oprntd this morning, A. Haller
Gross for the prisoner, sotting forth the facts and
theory of the defence. After a few preliminary
remarks to tbe jury. Mr. Gross said:
Joseph M. Donahno, the prisoner at the bar, is
86 years ot nge, and at the time of this unfor
tunate occurrence he was a finishing moulder n
the planing-mill ol Essler & Bro., Fifteenth
street, above Chestnut. . . ,
Mr. Esbler, his employer, regarded him as ono
of the best workmen in the mill, and says be
would take him back at once into his service it
he could be acquitted. . , , , :
Now let ÜBlook at the relations that subsisted |
between Donabue and. Dempsey. It seems tUat
Donahue, his wife and two children had been
occupying two rooms in Dempsey s houso, No. ]
12 Arrison avenue, since the 16ih of April last.
The two families lived in the greatest harmonv,
and the most friendly relations existed between
them. Dempsey’s business was that of clipping
horses, but he has no regular employment, being
often, for weeks at a time, wlthoot anything to
do. The monoy he earned in this precinoui
Way. he Invariably spent in drink. His wife In
reality supported her husband and children by
her hard work. Dempsey was a moßt exemplary
husband In all respceis save °no-be was ad
dicted to strong drink—that great burdenofvlce
and iniquity which, moro than anything else,
causes crime to stalk abroad over our laud, turn
ing the honest man into a robber, the quiet and
inoffensive citizen into a merciless, rekmUeßß
murderer, filling our prisons and jails. with
criminals whose legacy , t 0 ‘keirckildren
is naught but misery and woe. It is the
cause of more fils lhan any othor vice or
passion that can enslave the human breast.
While under Ihe influence of liquor, Dempsey
would heap the most vituperative epithelß upon
the heads of all who were near him, calling every
one by tbe vilest names that his imagination,
healed by liquor, corild conjure up.
Donahue, who had been repeatedly exposed to
this abusive language of Dempsey’s, at last be
came so worried from It that he took the advice
of bis employer, Mr. Essler, borrowed eight dol
lars of him, wc nt to the Sheriff's office and pro
cured a writ for the purpose, os he called it, ol
•‘putting the law on Dempsey, and preventing
him from further annoying himself and family.
In fact, Donahue was afraid that Dempsey, who
was a much more powerful man than himselt,
had designs upon hiß life.
Donahue did nothing to foment any quarrel
with Dempsey, carefully avoiding any harsh
wordG with him, preferring to let the law take its
course, and hoping that tbe serving of the writ
upon Dempsey would effectually put a stop to
the vile language ÜBed towards him and his
afternoon, January 14, Donahue
sent for bis sister, Mrs. McFadden, and related to
her the way in which Dempsey had been treat
ing him, telling her he called him and his family
the vilest aDd moßt abusive names. He also said
that he thought his, [Donahue's] life waß not sate
in Dempsey’s house. - „
He told her he had been so troubled from Demp
sey’s treatment of himself and lnmily,thathe had
procured a writ at-lbe Bhertfi s office lo be served
on Dempsevfto pnt him under bonds to keep the
P< AXter snpper Donahue went up into his room,
took down a book-rack be was working ou, and
began puttying it with a knife be had borrowed
for that purpose. Mr. Dempsey, who was gre .tlv
in liquor, came np two or three steps towards
Donahue’s room, and said: “Is that brute np
there? Ton sued me with tbe law, and 111 sue
yon With my fist." Donahue, whose wife asked
him to take no notice of this taunt, said: “I am
sure I ain’t doing anything; I am hero doing my
work, and ain’t harming any one " Donahue a
little girl, Mary, said that Bhe would like to oil
the book-rack, so to gratify her wish, he gave
her the rack, undressed himself and went to bed.
About twenty minutes after this Dempsey came
up tbe steps to tbe thin partition which sepa
rates the passage-way from the room, and said:
“Pooh! this place stinks from that Joe in there!
The brute! he ain’t got plnck enough to come out
till I fight Mm! him, the —— of a
!” instantly, on hearing tnis, Donahue,
Infuriated bevond measure at this unprovoked,
this unsolicited attack upon him, Jumped Worn
Ms bed and opened the door. Dempsey imme
diately rnshod at him and struck him, and then it
was that Donahue, forced back into hi* mm room
against the wall by the superior strength of
Dempßey, knowing that Dempsey had a knife in
his pocket, which might be used at any moment,
sees lying near him ihe knife with which be had
been puttying, and, with the rapidity of lightr
ning, he uses it In self-defence.
It was, with Donahue, a struggle for life and
death, for he knew not at what moment he might
be killed by Dempsey.
When Donahue finds that Dempsey is dying,
he makes no effort to escape, but quietly sur
renders himself up to the law.
These are all tbe material facts of this case,and
these we expect to prove to you to-day. We
will show you that on the Monday previous to
Dempsey’s death, Donabue took from ihe mill
some boardß for the purpose of moklng book
racks) that on the next day, Tuesday, be borrowed
of a lellow-workman a knile lor the purpose of
using it in puttyiDg tbe bookracke: that he had
no knife of Mb own, but that he bad always been
in the habit of borrowing one when he had any
woik to do, even on ono occasion asking Demp
sey for the loon of his. VVe will show you that
on January 13th, Donahue being in dread of
personal violence from Dempsev, went to tbe
Sheriff’s office, aDd got a writ for the purpose of
putting him under bonds to keep the peace. We
will also prove to you that Donahue was only
acting in self-defence, and we trust that you will
see, as we do, ibat you can have no just grounds
upon which lo convict Mm of cither of the grades
ol murder, or even of manslaughter.
And now 1 have done. 1 huve performed, im
perfectly it is true (but Blill as far as iu me lay),
my duly towards my client, the Court and you,
gentlemen of the jury.
If there is anything in the statement of the
facts of this case that 1 have omitted, I have done
so through inadvertence, and my colleagues will
supply tty deficiency. From the facts, us 1 have
stated them to von from the testimony you have
already beard—from that which you will hear to
day you must acquit Joseph M. Donahue,
Though no one could be more desirous than my
self that the law should be most strictly und im
partially administered in times so fraught as the
present is with scenes of bloodshed and violence,
1 must state to you in all candor that the case
you are now considering is one which is rathor
deserving of your sympathy than your coudem
natlou. Donahue only took life -o save his own.
He was only obeying tbe dictates of that law of
nature so Indelibly impressed upon the mind of
every man as to be an essential part of Ms being;
he wub only acting in pursuance of that divine
right given to man with birthj the right of self
defence. Put yourselves in his place, and then
can you tell you would not have done likewise?
Remember, gentlemen of the jury, that in a
criminal case, and under the direction of the
Court, you are not only judges of the J'acls, but
judges of the,/-no In that respect you possess
all the terrible power,- and attributes with which
a heathen mythology invested those stern and
impartial lawgivers, Rkadamantlius, /Kucub and
Minos; hut vrith this great difference, that as
they Bat in judgment on ihe souls of the dead t
meting out to every one the rewards or punish
ments he had not received on earth, so you sit
here to-day to decide the destiny of a living vmn.
An we are told “there’s a special provldenco in
the fall of a sparrow,” how much -more should
•WO think such ib the case when the fate of a hu
man being is at stake ! I trust you will not be
found wanting when you bring in vour verdict.
AUI ask of yon is, “good men and true, stand
together and hearken to the evidence."

toncu.l Kecoliocilou».
The Washington Star of last evening says:
The fatal Fliot which killed President Lincoln
was fired at Ford's Theatre on thei night of the
14ih of April, 18G5, and Booth, with Herold, Im-
escaped from the city. They were
pursned and overtaken at Gairett s farm, near
Port Royal,on the Rappahannock,April 2a, and oa
the follow inir,morning the troops having tired the
ham in which they bad sought refuge, Ceroid
was captured and Booth mortally wounded, dy
eing about three hours afterward. Abon
two o’clock on the morning of the
27th, the tng-boat Ida reached the Navy
Yard in tniß city, and Herold was placed in con
finement on the Monitor Montank, where Booth
body was laid on a joiner’s beuch. Dur ug the
morning large numbers of persons failed the
Navv Yard, anxious to set a view of the body,
hut none were allowed to go on board the moni
tor except such as held orders from the Secretary
of .be Navy. Dr. J. F. May, of this city was
called on to Identify the body, and did a “ 0
scar on the neck where he had cut out a tumor.
A coffin was made at the joiner s shop but was not
used, and in the afternoon, after an examination
of the wound, and one or two pieces of the back
bone where the fatal shot took eflect were taken
out. the body was wrapped in a Kfay blanket,
in a boat in which was General L , G - * nd
two of his detectives, and carried off. Stbifs
qumtly, the report gained credence that the
liodv had been consigned to the waters of the
Potomac, when the truth was that it was landed
at the Arsenal wharf, then placed in a box,
and between ten and twelve o clock on the same
night buried in the wareroom of the old
Penitentiary, in the presence of a representa
tive of the War Department (who took fiharge ot
the keys of the room), and General Baker and a
few officials of the post. Here it was allowed
to remain nntil, the removal of the penitentiary
building having been determined on, made it
necessary to change its location, and Booths re
mains, as also the bodies of Mrs. Surratt. Payne,
Herold, Atzerodt and Wirz, were removed to No.
2 warehouse in the fall of 1867. Booths body
occupied the lower end of the row—a white
pninttd board with the name “Booth being
nulled on the top of the box—where the body re
maim d until yesterday. vr^Vorlr
The Baltimore correspondent of the New York
Times has the following : .
There wos but little of the remains left, the
flesh haviDg all disappeared, leaving nought but
a moss of blackened boqpß. Upon one foot waß
an old army shoe, and upon the other a boot cat
open upon the boP- Thiß covered the left foot,
the leg having been broken in bis leap from the
Ftogc-box of the theatre after he had assassinated
President Lincoln. The remainder of his dress
consisted of a rough brown coat, black pants and
vest all of which were rotten and decayed. The
Is stir’ all remained, and the silken curls of glossy
black reminded one of the handsome face which j
people once so much admired, bat the Intelligent
tnco was gene. During the afternoon hundreds
of people visited the place, and some were
allowed to view the remains.
After a short time it was found that the cu
rious crowds had cat the blankets almost to
pieceß to get souvenirs. Many persona also visited
Baltimore Cemeterv during the day, believing the
interment would be made there, bat came away
disappointed. Mrs Booth and her sons Edwin
Booth and Junluß Brutus Booth will arrive here
to-morrow, when the body will be deposited in a
vault at the Government Cemetery, and in a few
days will be secretly interred, in the presence of
ihe family, at Baltimore Cemetery, beside tho
remains of Junius Brutus Booth, the senior.
There seems a disposition on the part of many
people here to get up a demonstration, but the
reiailves of Booth bitterly oppose aovthingof the
sort and have arranged to inter the remains se
cretly as above stated. The presence of Booth s
remains has been the topic of conversation among
all classes here, and has been the sensation of the

defray the expenses of the re interment of Payne,
for whose remains there has as yet been no claim

BHILBOHn ACCIBENT IN THE
HOCK Y HI II UN TAINS.
Explosion of u l.ocoinotlvc.
The Omaha Republican of the 13th says:
We gained information, at a late hoar last
uiKht. of a fearful and fatal accident, which oc
curred at the Union Pacific station, known as
Hock Springs, some time during the hours of
Thursday last.
From what little we could learn of the matter
it would appear that the large eight-wheeled, 40
ton engine, No. 112, exploded its boiler on the
day aforesaid, while standing on the switch at the
station before named, resulting In what is re
ported to have been instant death to three men,
with probable injuries to more. The names of
the three men killed, as given to us, were Con
ductor Mulligan, Eugineor Dunivan and James
Wilson, fireman. The train was of freight cars,
and the engine is represented as having been
blown into a thousand fragments.
We regret our inability to give fuller particu
lars of this feurlul aecident, but in giving what
we have we shall hope not to havo blunderod
into a mistuke concerning the number killed,
though we should be pleased to know that no
such accident had occurred. It is perhaps well
enough to state that this engine, No. 112, is the
same one which was thrown" from the track some
weeks since, by which accident one man was
killed and said engine seriously damaged.
OITY BUIiIiETUI.
Coroner's Inquest.— This morning Coroner
Daniels held an inquest on the body of Jeremiah
Ingley, aged 03 years, which was found in the
Delaware at Washington street wharf, on Mon"
day afternoon. The evidence showed that Mr-
Ingley left his home. No. 1323 South Seventh
street, about 7 o’clock on the evening of the 7th
of December, and had with him $35 65.. He went
to a meeting of a building association on South
Btreet, subscribed for 10 shares of stock, and paid
$35 to the Secretary, getting a receipt and a pass
book. He then left the room. Nothing was de
veloped of his movements after that, until the
body was found by some men engaged in repair
ing boats at Washington streot wharf. On his
person the balance of his money, 63 cents, waß
found. No marks of violence were visible, and
there was no reason why he should commit Bui
dde. He was not very well acquainted with the
lower section of the city, and the supposition is,
that he wandered to South street wharf, and then
walktd overboard, Tho verdict of tho jury was:
"Found drowned.”
A Drunken Siree.— Bernard Brannon and
David Criss got drunk yesterday. They went to
a house on Richmond street, below Venango
street, tore down the water-spout, and thon
smashed the windows of a house on the opposite
side of the street. They were arrested by Lieut.

Woi.ating an Ordinance. — Bamuol Jone 3,
from New Jorscy, was arrested yesterday at
Becond and Brown streets for violating an ordi

An Item i-or Ladies onlv.— ln another column
of 10-day’B paper we announce tho removal of
Mrs. M. A. Binder’s Temple of Fashion to tho
northwest corner of Eleventh and Chestnut sts.,
an Item which cannot fall to Interest every lady
who wishes to conform to the dictates -of-tho
fashionable world. This removal became an ac
tual necessity from the fact that the lato location
was entirely inadequate either to contain the va
ried stock or to transact the immense amount of
bufimss, which has steadily increased with
each succeeding year. Mrs. Binder’s patterns
ate knowD and appreciated in almost every city,
town and hamlet throughout tho Union, and to
tpeak of them In commendation to the ladies of
Philadelphia would be, to quote Shakespeare, ‘ a
wasteful and ridiculous excess.” Therefore, let
every lady visit the New Emporium, and bestow
a substantial patronage on one whose enterprise
and liberality entitle her to a distinguished pre
cedence among the votaries of tho beau monde.
Frank i.in Inbtitdte Meeting. —As will be
seen in our advertising pages, at the meeting of
tho Franklin Institute this evening, Shaw’s Pile
Driving Machine, operated by gunpowder, will
be exhibited. This is, we believe, the first in
stance in which gunpowder has been made to do
constructive work, its destructive powers
alone having been hitherto employed. This ma
chine Beems to be remarkably efficient and well
worthy of examination. Prof. Morton will, we
believe, on the same occasion, project on the
screen photographs of the late solar eclipse, and
show other interesting novelties In science and
the arts.
First Ward Grant Clue. —A ball of the First
Ward Grant Glnb will be given at Musical Fund
Hall on Monday evening next. Hon. Charles
O'Neill will bo Master of Ceremonies, and Absa
lom Taylor and Robert 8. Menamin Floor Mana
gers. A pleasant affair may be expected.
Modern Pictures. —B. Scott, Jr., will soil,
without reserve, this evening, at7K o’clock, at
the Art Gallery, 1020 Chestnut street, a number
of modern pictures, newljt framed, comprising
marines, landscapes, mountain views, Ac. Call
and examine them.
Acknowledgment. —We are indebted to Mr.
J. Teal, Jr., Purser of the steamer Wyoming, for
late files of the Savannah papers.
Municipal Elections. —The Camden munici
pal election is rapidly approaching, and its im
portance begine to excite considerable feeling
among politicians of both parties. There are
candidate s for Mayor aDd Marshal, on the city
ticket: three members of Council, a Constable,
chosen freeholders, and all Ibe various other offi
cers for each ward. The Republicans have called
their City Convention for the 26th Instant, and
the primary meetings in the wards will bo held in
a few days. A general impression prevails that
the present Mayor and Marshal will be renomi
nated, and if so, they will be elected. They have
mode good and efficient officers, and their re
election will give universal satisfaction to tho
people. Upon those candidates who receive the
nomination, however, whether they be the present
incumbents or not, the Republican party will be
a unit.
4ti.antic Raii.road— The Atlantic Railroad
Company are making extensive preparations for
the coming season at the seashoro. New cars
are being built, old ones are being substantially
repaired and made as good and comfortable as
new, their track along its whole length is being
strengthened, bridges rebuilt, new station houses
erected, and every other improvement designed
for the comfort, convenience and accommoda
tion of the public Is being perfected with as
much liberality as possible. It is anticipated
that the approaching season will surpass any
preceding one at Atlantic City.
Improvements.— Tbe building season begins
to assume considerable activity in Camden.
Thirty permits for fine dwelling houses have al
ready been issued by the City Clerk, some for
residences quite palatial in their style of con
struction. It is believed that the present will be
the most lively building season ever experienced
in Camden, and that over 500 buildings will be
erected.
Tax Warrants.— The unpaid tax warrants for
1868 have been placed in the hands of the
several constables of the different Wards in
Camden, for collection, with instructions to pro
ceed at once and make the amounts unpaid by
seizing and Belling the effects and so forth ot the
delinquents. Those who have neglected to pay
should do so at once, to avoid trouble*,
Wife Beating.— This custom seems to be on
lhe increase in Camden, as several cases have re
cently occurred. Mayor Cox had one before him
yesterday who had indulged in that kind of re
creation until “forbearance ceased to be a vir
tue,” when the law interfered, and he was ar
rested. „
Ciickfh Concert.— Last evening, the choir o*
Rev. Mr. Tulmage’s church, and some other ex
cellent perlormers, gave a very entertaining con
cert in Camden, for the benefitof tho North Cam
deii Church. It is said the sum realized was quite
‘‘handsome.
An English exchange says: “Mr. Henri Dray
ton, our well-known buffo singer, with Mrs.
Drayton, his companion In the popular enter
tainment with which Mr. Drayton’s name was
once associated, has anticipated an experiment
Herr Formes is said to be about to make, and has
made his appearance on the dramatic, as distin
guished from the musical, stage. Mr. Drayton
bos obtained complete success in the Theatre
Royal Manchester, as Shylock, Ford, Othello,
and Master Walter, and has Binco been received
with equal favor in Nottingham and Edinburgh.
We are glad to believe there is a probability of
Mr. Drayton’s appoarance before long in Lon
don.”

The Washington correspondence of the Herald

There Is a report here to-night that the confi

General Grant and his confidential secretary,
General Badean, have been broken off, and to
day Badeau was instructed to remove his doßk
from the room occupied by Grant to another
apartment. The cause of tho rupture Is not

they failed to give due satisfaction.
