Comeyi the _young man who claimed to have saved two Hartford and Erie trains from destruction, was made yesterday by Officers Holland and McCarthy, on suspi cion of haa s lag placed the ties upon the track at Franklin, for the purpose of gaining notd• riety and obtaining a reward for what on the surface appeared to be a creditable, action. The officers in their investigation failed _to learn that any suspicious persons bad been seer' in the neighborhood ot - City and at - once - determined - tri - Mke tJam r, whWrilrffigry— accompanied them, asserting that he could establish-the truthfulness of his former state ments. He is about •30 years old, married, • and has been engaged', with his father-in-law, in the bonnet-wire business at City Mills, where he bas borne a' good_' character. The alleged falsity of his story ap:. pears to be established by an examination of. the--clothing he wore when he-stopped the boat train on Thursday. No marks -of the passage of a bullet through his coat or shirt sleeves are apparent, though it is evident that they had been tampered with for the purpose of creating such an impression, the rents probably having been made by pounding the clots -etween hard - substances; and the abrasions of the outer and inner garments do not corresnond in position, that on the coat being several inches down upon the , arm, while that in the shirt is far.up on the shoul der. The rim of his bat, it - is - true, has a rent which might have been made by a bullet bat from the relative positions of his alleged assailants and himself, it is difficult to conceive how the missile was pre rented from entering his chest. It _is._ claimed by persons who reside near "the scene, and who were at work about- their premises when the morning train was stopped, that firearms could not have been discharged in the locality alged without their hearing them; and the o cers tested their own sense of hearing with their own weapons to satisfy themselves that Comey's statement was a pure fabrication. He has told two stories about the scratch upon his arm—one that it was caused by a bullet, when it was benumbed by the shock; another, that it - was . * occasioned - by - a heavy sleeper that he was endeavoring to remove from the track. Comey's connections at City Mills and Medway are respectable and influential, and, several of his relatives have visited him in his He at the _Fourth Station this forenoon. He will• be taken to Dedham this afternoon for examination before a magistrate of Norfolk County. P. A. KELLIS 6. Cashier A Playa's Skull Broken Against the Curb stone—Arrest Of the Alleged Mar tlerer.--"Pierve Mina Itight...lt Will Make Room for Another." The district of -Bergen City,- known- as La fayette, was the scene of a bloody affray on Monday night, which proved fatal to a man named Robert Hartman. It appears that ho had a difficulty with a rough customer named Deuis McGrotty some time ago, and a very bitter feeling existed between the parties ever since. On Monday evening, about eight o'clock, Denis was "spoiling for a fight," and was heard to say, "I'll go over and lick that —". And Denis kept Ids word. He made his appearance soon alter at-Kaiser's saloon, corner Walnut and Whiton streets, where the proprietor and Hartman were quietly enjoy ing their supper. When the latter arose from the table and went into the bar-room Denis commenced a dispute with him, and soon suc ceeded in arousing him to passion. The par ties were on the point of having a regular " set-to ;" but it occurred to Denis that Hart man might get some help from parties in the saloon, where he had some friends, and he ac cordingly proposed that they should go out on the street and have a square fight. This was agreed to, and the men set to in the most bloodthirsty spirit. Two rounds were fought, after which they clinched and had a rough and tumble encoun ter, each scratching, biting, tearing and kick ing the other. In the struggle Hartman was swung round and thrown to the ground, his head striking the curbstone with great vio lence. .McGrotty then applied a few kicks and shook his antagonist, but the latter was motionless. There was no longer any " tight " in him. Several men, who had . heard the fiendish yells two blocks distant, came up and raised the prostrate man, who was breathing heavily. They found blood gushing from the back of his head, which was fractured by the fall, against the curbstone. One of the men turned to McGrotty and said, "This mau is killed ; Prn afraid it will be a serious busi ness;" to which McGrotty , replied, with a diabolical grimness of expression, " Serve him right; it will make room for another." Hartman was carried into the saloon, but he remained in a stupefied condition till two o'clookyesterday morning, when he breathed his last. In the meantime McGrotty was taken into custody by some of the residents and lodged in the Fourth Precinct Station of Jer sey City. In one of Hartman's pockets was found a pair of steel - knuckles, winch, it is be lieYed,-were placed there by McGrotty before the interference of the - citizens who came up The purpose of, this was to give a complexion to the affray whichwould be, advantageous to the alleged perpetrator., ' Coroner'Burns was notified, and when he arrived • at the scene blood was still oozing from the mouth and eartt.,of the dead man. A.' .post merlon examination will be made, and the inquest will. bef held to=morrow evening. Hartman 'was employed . to take charge of homes in a stable at Lafayette--was about thirty-five years of age and ,untnarried. Grotty was engaged in,a:similar occupation, and is about twenty•six. yearti of age, ,%---Crop reports in, our ;rixahangtis, front all parts ,of yho denary, are ou the whole, thus far, very favorable: ityt).NESDAY:':AtA.Y..,4; . . 1870,; LEGAL .

The afternoon was rainy, and weatherwise people saw a reg;lhtr. "temporal" setting in Prom the southeast. - • Mr.- Louis McLean-and others refused to allow 'them - teats to • leave the Mole With passengers; nevertheless„ some had the temerity to venture, and we learn that, a boat Which left about 4 P.- M. for the . Villa -riel Salte,,with-a lady and two gentlemen, was (-apsized and the passengers were drowned. At the same time Captain Peel made great efforts to- procure the steam launeh Baby, to go aboard - the Tycho - Brahe, which - was to sail the same evening for Liverpool, but the risk of going out twelve miles deterred-everybody . from the.attempt. A passenger who had left for the Tycho Brahe some hours before,*and was unable, to reach her, turned back,and_ met the boat, capsized, in which' theledy and gentlemen were lost. Mr.. McLean had de spatched a boat with. some sheep at A. M., vrhich reached the Tycho BraheAafely,and Then. — seeing the storm coming on sailed for the Tigre instead of trying to return to port. As the evening closed in the storm increased, -tbe , rairCbegan to fall in torrents about 5 o'clock, and many of the streets were flooded' with two or three feet of water; this became a deluge after four hours of - . • • 1t hie Hest Incessant Downpour..., and some people lost their lives in-carriages, trying to.cross the Tercero. At the corner of Suipacha anti Cordoba a coach was carried away ; the coachman escaped, but Ilicipassen gers and horses were drowned. At . Calle Libertadand Cuyo another coach was carried down by the current, and the driver and his horses drowned. -;At-: ; Calle Defensa the cur rent washed away a 'child, and some other casualties of this kind are- reported at the south end. Some ofonr-friends resident at Cisco Esquinas had to make a detour by the Calle Rivadavia to get home, the Recoleta omnibus having broken down at &SO, and the streets become dangerous to cross. The. Setiembre omnibus coming into town at 9 o'clock found a rapid stream at the corner of Piedad and Uruguay; the driver plunged in: the 'bus was- carried down -100 yards and throvenlon-its-sside u two- of—the -horses-being drowned, and the passengers, eight in number, forced - to get out through - the - windows-and scramble or swim to the sidewalk. Three corpses were picked up yesterday in Calle Uruguay; but they were probably either horsemen or foot- tia&sengers brought down by the current. The Northern Tramway had three horses drowned. In Calle Paraguay a eoach upset._The coachman was.drowned ; but some ladies inside were saved. The rainfall was ' Tim Most - Dreadful Ever KII*WII3. The algibes were soon filled, and thentke water flooded all the lower rooms of ;the houses, in some.places to the height of three feet. 'We hear of floors having given way in many houses, and in one., case the occupants of a room narrowly escaped falling into an old well or water-closet under the floor. The houses near the breWery in Calle Bolivar were under water to the height of three feet, and in those streets adjacent to the Tercero the _in habitants were all but drowned. The Plaza Parque was : a navigable lake, and the Cafe del ParetLe wasinundated. About ten o'clock the rain subsided, and the wind began to blow with trenienduous force, conning in gusts, and causing some of tha Irikhest houses to shake. Atli P.

The captain of the bark Damon says it was the most fearful gale he ever ex perienced ;it blew so hard that he could not stand on deck, and the - Water washed clean over his ship; his anchors could not :pre vent him from dragging about 129 fathoms. Her Majesty's ship Cracker rode it out well, having foreseen the storm by the fall of the glass from .1.i)0•to 29.58 when the storm-began; four ships drove past her, but did no harm. The whaleboats were carried about in every direction ; one was seen to go down with two men aboard, and of the seventy-two lost or aground it is believed many - of them had one or two menaboard. Corpses Plated Up. The scene which presented itself yesterday at daybreak is beyond description ; nine corpses were picked up on the beach, three at the foot of Calle San Martin, and others are reported, but need confirmation. .

The passengers fore the Tycho Brahe and Captain Peel went aboard about 10 o'clock, but the wind again freshened at noon, and blew half a m r , ale. While we write it is still blowing very hard, but the sky has • cleared up and the weather seems to promise to be fine. TERRIBLE ErrEcTS Or A POWDER BLAST: Hundreds of Dollars' Worth of Property Destroyed and Nobody Culpable.. Yesterday afternoon, about four o'clock, the residents on Sixth avenue, near Fifty-sixth street, were startled by a terrific explosion which shook every house in the neighborhood for blocks around, sending panes of glass Hy ing in every direction. A row of buildings re e,ently erected, between Fifty-fifth and b ifty sixth streets, suffered to the extent of several hundred dollars, and the telegraph poles were also damaged considerably. The explosion, which in its effects seemed like a small earthquake, was caused by Francis McNamara, a contractor, who used a larger quantity of >powder than usual, it is supposed, to blast some rocks on the west aide of the avenue:, between Fifty- fi fth and Fifty sixth streets. a. 0 was arrested by Officer John Maher, of the Twenty-second precinct, and taken before Justice Bixby, at 'the Yorkville Police Court, where ho' Was, however, dis charged, no evidence being brought forviard to prove that he was guilty of any violation of the"corporation ordinances.

AN INTERESTING RELIC.-- Frown:exit of an Address by Washington .To the Editors of the N. Y. Evening Post : The - subjoined fragment of an unpublished address , by Washington has recently come into my possession, and Isend it to you for the, edifica tion of your readers. The two - pages of the original are numbered 69 and 70, and,so far as I can learn, this is all now remaining of an ad dress that was delivered by the first President after the adoption of the Federal Constitu tion. Although incomplete, the style and sentiment are eminently bharaeteriStic of the . author * a great necessity for the same indul gence to the unintentional errors , that may be discovered in my administration, which I have experienced on former occasions ; but if my former conduct would not induce rhy countrymen to count upon my future atten tion and fidelity; I could not hope that any verbal assurance of mine would be' of more avail. Let it, -however, be remembered by us all, that we are not come up hither for our 'own pleasure or.emoltiment,. but- in- the • sight. of God and men, to act disinterestedly, and to render hene,lits,to our country. Although we should meet with an, ungrateful return, Still let us work cheerfully together for the public good. Let us rise early, late take rest, and eat the bread of carefulness; until we snail have wrought out our country's politieal solu tion. For the attainment of this end let us not think any labor too great or any sacrifice too dear. You know there was a time when your capitalists would manfully . have seconded the attempt, although it ,might have re quired a postponeMent of personal interest and local policy. We may not flatter ourselves that we are yet beyond the reach of danger. It is to be dreaded that ill disposition should produce jealousy—jealousy, discord—discord, separation=separation, ruin, If, after all the hopes and expectations which we have fondly entertained, the Union should be destined to an immature dissolution by some unnatural parricide — let us - at least be - gUiltleS•4 — ariti• blood. In the name of your supplicating' country, I charge you then to beware, • lest in the best of zeal for carrying some favorite point you suflbr locality anti resentment to ob tain the ascendency of patriotism and reason. You ought to consider those who lately op posed this constitution as brethren who only differed from you in sentiment on a great po litical question, and who'are now equally en titled with the rest of the citizens." * Respectfully yours, CHARLES LAWMAN. GENERAL GEORGE IL TIXONAS. An Attempt to Blast Ms Reputation. The attempts which are now made by the newspapers, and notably by the ex- Confederate Gen. Fitzhugh Lee, to blast the reputation and to cast 'reproach upon the ..memory of the late Generai r Thomas, seem to us logically to enhance the credit due to the dead soldier. Gen. F. Lee writes to the Rich mond Dispatch that he was told in New York by Gen. Thomas that he intended to resign his commission in the United States Army and to seek employment from the Confeder acy. It is added that he also wrote to Gov. Letcher tendering his professional services to the Rebellion. It seems to us to be of but small importance whether these statemen are false or well founded. If General Thomas, after wavering for a moment between his duty to the Republic and his ,sympathy for the State of his nativity, overcame temptation, and walked resolutely ever after in the path of duty and honor, the struggle and the vic tory can only increase our respect for him. Whether the tale of General Fitzhugh Lee has any foundation or not, the fact remains that General Thomas gave his extraordinary abilities to the right side. He may, in a mo ment-of hesitation, _have_ sent a letter like that alluded to to Governor John Letcber, but we should rather prefer to see it than to hear it talked about. Are we 'to un derstand-that, with its customary infatuation, the Confederacy declinedthe services of such an ,eminent soldier. Or that. Gov. Letcher kept, the letter in his, pocket, and made no communication of its contents to . his asso ciates? Bui the matter' is`itapily 'worth dis cussing. Hints and insinuations and unsup ported assertions like these are light Indeed when weighed against the fact :that General Thomaa wastfrom the,beginning to. the end of the war about the most practical Union matt in thc,whole country. - Tribune. • , _ , ~O ne of the Roman` 'Ilistimis i)iettobed the ether day, at Velletri, and, In the canna of hie called' railroads,' tele'graphi and the 7 printing pro* inventiona of the tlevil." , of.,eqrse, vota for tit© infallibility of the • PPIOrt 'THREE OENT&,, _.A.NAYAUL.

The following is the text of the manifesto .of the Extreme Left in the French Corps Legis latif, draWn up by MM.

At present; `personal . -.- govi.lrtiment,is judged by its fruits. ence condemns it and the nation repudiates it. • At the last elections the French people_ plainly manifested its sovereign - will --; and for personal government it intends to substitute. • that of the country by itself.: Does the new >i , Constitution on which you are called upon to pronounce realize the ,national wishes? N 0;,,. for it does not establish the government of the. . country ; it only pretends to tie so. ' ' - - The personal governnmnt is not destroyed ;,-* ' it pre.serves intact its most redoubtable prero;- ' ' gatives ; it continues to exist abroad by the__ right - to make treaties and declare war—attri butes of which, (luring to years, a use so fatal-,,'. to the country has been made ; and; at home, ~ : by the personal rule of the. Chief of ar State,.. aided by Ministers, a Council of State, a , Senate, all named by himself; a Legislative _ t -Body r whose c electi n-her-has secured-threugh--- official candidature and 'administrative pres-• !.. sure, by the comma dof the armed force, the: • appointment to all' mploymeuts; An exces s ive , r centralization whit places 'in his hands all, d.C_ the organized remi trees of the country an,, ,-,••• confiscates the ant nomy of the communes, . and which does not even leave to the popttla- ' lions the right to elect their municipal nimbi- trates. Finally, and to crown this edifice of litb- , pedal omnipotence, the new Constitutiongives. - up to the exclusive initiative of the heads of the State the right which belongs essentially to every free people, of reforming, when it may consider such a course necessary, its fun damental institutions, at the smite time-that it bands over to the Exeoutive the ()marina • right of appeal to the people, which is nothing more than the permanent menace of a coup d'etrit. Such is the Constitution proposed, to• you. Yon are asked to sign your abdication. Will you do so? Will you renew the full powers of , the Empire? Will you, under the appearance of a Parliamentary system, consolidato.per sonal Government? if such is your intention, vote—Yes. But if, you have profited by the lessondrawn. from events; it you have not forgotten either the 38 yearn of oppression and the outrages on liberty, or Mexico, or Sado wa, or the debt of five thousand millions incurred, or the budgets exceeding two thousand millions, or the con-:.:- scription, heavy taxes,land largo contingents, you cannot vote—Yes. And the reason is, that all those evils, the, traces of which will not, be effaced for a long time from France, sprang, 18 years ago, from two ptebisciftoes similar to the one now sub raided to you. At present, as then, you are ' asked to accord carte-blanche, thealienation of your sovereignty, the transmission of the- 4. popular right to the bands of one man and famil.Y, the eentiseatlea of the impresoriptible.- • right of future generations.
