-THE LAST ,CARD FOR LECOMPTON
-' On the eve of the election in Kansas, un
der the English bill, on the ordinance, and
‘ indirectly on the Lecompton Constitution, the
se,d-fiither of that'delectable instrument
comes trilte resitie : by an announcement that.
he • has finally decided in favor of the free-
State members from Leavenworth county,
thus 'virtually:giving a' free-State majority in
both branches of the Lecompton Legislature.
The elation was held more than six months
ago, andalythe facts At the case fully,eka
blhthed more than three months since. The
present decision, however, just as it may be,
will come, we think, much 'too late. The
peeple;of Kansas hare been too much out
raged by this 'whole Lecompton movement
to endorse it now, backed up as it is, not only
by the land ordinance, the threat of being
kept out of the :Union if they oppose Lecouq
ton, andlhe promise of immediate, admission
if they endorse it, and the tardy acknowledg
ment by CALII . OVN, half a year after the proper
time' for making it, that he will permit those
members of- the Legislature who were fairly
elected to take their seats. Of course, it is
unreasonable to expect that any fair election
on the naked question of Lecompton can bo
held when, although that is the real Issue to
bedecided, so many &Implications are thrown
around it, and,so much is dope to induce the
people', to endorse what they have repeatedly
proclaimed their isbhorrence of in thunder
tones. The election takes place, we believe,
on the first Monday in August.

that the company bad rendered the wagon road up
almost impassable. There were several persona
with him, who kicked off the obstruction, which he
replaced, about which time the watchman came
up. Re now says that he did it in fun, knowing
that the watchman was near. But as the road had

Conrad bad said some hard things of the company,
he was bound over in the sum of out thousand dol

With regard to Prez'', he praised that Govern
ment for its honesty and good faith in the fulfil
ment of treaties. With regard to Cuba, he agreed
that more could be done by the Governor-General
of Cuba than by any external force; that every
exertion had been and was every day being made
to bring the Spanish Government to good faith in
this matter, and that he trusted this result might
be brought about without a resort to coercive
measures. That with regard to the French sys
tem, as shown in the case of the Regina Cecil,
there could be no doubt that it was really a new
plan of elave-trade•, that they were pouring in
ovidenee on this point on the Fronoh Government,
and that he hoped that the French Emperor (in
whose desire to put down slavery he had perfect
confidence) would soon be himself convinced that
it was slavery in disguise.
"He feared that in this particular case there was
evidence to show that the blacks might be held
as consenting parties. With regard to coolie em
igration, he explained that Lord Carmen's bill
was intended to mat a stop to the carrying of
coolies from India to any foreign possession ; that
it was their determination to place the coolie em
igration to our own possessions on such a footing as
should secure fair treatment to the coolies; and
be believed if that could be acoomplished the eye
tern of coolie emigration might be found bane&
eta! both to the coolies themselves and to the col
onies. He repeated the great care and considera
tion which the Government were determined to
give to secure for the curdles good treatment and
fair play. He did not think that the exclusion of
Cuban produce from our markets would (oven if
lailiament would consent to it) make much differ
liiqe to Cuba, Inasmuch as other countries would
Ate Cuban produce and let us have the supplies
nom other quarters which formerly went to them.
He expressed generally every desire to prevent the

Mecca's NATIONAL TOE:ATMS -" Three Guards
men"—" Nasal Engagements."
Deitructive Fires. Yesterday morning
about 1 o'clock, a fire broke out an a small shed
stable, eitasted in the rear of Front street, below
Moore, a place known as "Smoky {follow.' The
front building was an old frame tenement, owned
and occupied by John Dolby. The locality is be
yond the confines of civilization, and it was almost
impossible te obtain water. The building, as well
as at, adjoining stable belonging to Archibald
McCracken, was totally destroyed.. The flames
spread to the front buildings, occupied by Dolby
as a grocerystore and dwelling, and by McCraok on
as n shop and dwelling. These houses were mostly
destroyed. Mr. Dolby succeeded in saving the
greater part of his goods. lie Is insured for $4OO
in the Fire Assooiation, and estimates his loss over
insurance at $5OO. McCracken has an insurance
of $3OO in the Fire Association, wbioh is thought
sufficient to cover hie loss.
Adjoining the frames was a new three-story
brick dwelling,which also belonged to McCracken.
This was very slightly damageol. Insured in the
Fire Mimi:intim. Fortunately, tho horses belong
ing to both parties were out grazing at the time of
the fire. Several hogs were resorted from the sta
bles. but a number of ohiokens were burned to
death.
James Campbell, a member of the Franklin En
gine, woe run over at Second and Reed, and badly
injured. .
The fire was undoubtedly the work of an incen
diary. Mr. and Mrs. Dolby barely escaped with
their lives. They were awakened by the cracking
of the flames, and just managed to get out in time.
A colored man, named James Robinson, was run
over at the same place by the Good-Will Engine.
The wheels passed over hie head, injuring him
severely.
A man, named Wm. Basilian, a member of the
Shiftier Hose Company, was run over at Front and
Greenwich streets. lie was badly injured about
the back.
A few minutes after nino o'clock yesterday
morning a fire broke out in the building No. 15
Howard street, running south from Market, above
Fifteenth, in the Ninth ward. The flames origi
nated in the garret, and were caused by a small
boy. communicating fire to a bed while playing
with lucifer matches. This pause is ono of a row
of two and a half story brick dwellings They
were constructed under one roof, without bat
tlement walls and the flames spread both north
and south. The firemen wore upon the ground
early, but, owing to the scarcity of water to the
vicinity, all the buildings were more or less in
jured. The following are the names of the suf.

is insured in the Fire Association. The occupant
is William A. Currie, whose loss is inconsiderable,
his furniture having only been slightly damaged

The total loss by this conflagration will probably
amount to between $3,000 and $5,000, about two
thirds of which is covered by insurance.
A member of the United States Hose Company
was run over by the apparatus while proceeding to
the Ere. The wheels passed over his left foot,
slightly' injuring bim.
The fire bad been raging some fifteen minutes
before the alarm was given The telegraphic cir
cuit wad down, and notice was given to the central
office by a man who ran from the scone of confla
gration. The bell ringer in the State-house steeple,
instead of being on the lookout, in said to have
been earnestly engaged in conversation with agen
tieman,; and knew nothing of the fire until the
ularm was communiouted_from tko tategrapn omen.
Arum:am - a tactorci - at Manaynnk, took fire tied
d entally about 10d ololook yesterday morning. The
flames were extinguished with a few baskets of
water. Damage, about $5O.
Justice tempered with of Orr
readers will probably recollect the melancholy
end of Mr. John Buehler, one of our most beloved
and respected, oltirons, who was drowned in the
&bud' ll o l l, in the autumn of 1857. Mr. Buehler
was a partner in the firm of Mr. Buehler, Bro
ther, it Co., hardware merchants on Market
street, below Fifth, at the time of his death. His
disappearance was in a. measure mysterious, so
much so that the coroner's jury in holding the in
quest upon his remains, could elicit nothing to in
eiloate that he had come to his end through vio
lence on the part of others, and yet there was no
positive evidence of suicide.
The family of Mr B. held three policies of life
insurance, amounting in the aggiegate to $3,000,
but from a specific clause in the provisions of the
policies, the possibility of the insured having copse
to a voluntary death, was, by two of the offices in
this city, made a ground for non-payment. The
remaining Oompariy,-.-the Connecticut Mutual
Life Insurance Company, Hartford—bowever, on
having tho matter brought before them, and find
ing that there was at least a plausible doubt in
favor of the widow of Mr. Buehler, decided to give
the benefit of it on the side of mercy, and at once
forwarded a remittance in settlement of her
policy, returning, at the same time, certain un
paid obligations to the amount of $2lO. Although,
from the known circumstances of the case, it is
more than probable that the Company in this act
did but what, if the truth was known, would have
been their duty ; yet, taking the ease as it stands,
the course of the Company was eminently gener
ous, and is no less a credit to their humanity than
it is a significant comment upon the advantages
of life I nsuranoe itself.
Three Voices of a Great City.—From no
etherial spirits come the three voices of a great
oily, but living, moving humanity gives them ut•
teranoe, The winds bear them onward over the
length and breadth of the land. and from =trope.
Us, village, and hamlet, a response joins and rises
to the very heavens. The three yokes aro those of
.the three worlds of Poverty, Competence, and
Wealth. In the cold and cheerless room, the
mother clasps her infant, born and nurtured in
sorrow, and with a sigh for the past, a low moan
for the present, and a tear for the future, breathes
a prayer that stands recorded on the tablet of the
angel, as one voice in the many from the masses
of the pbor.
The mechanic seated beside his hearth-stone,
when the toil Of the day is over, listens to the
music of his little ones, watches the gliding form
of his partner, and thankful for life, health, and
competence, dreams of future happiness The
dream resolves itself into an expression of
content, and constitutes another voice, more
pleasant than the first. The third and last is that
of " fortune s favorites," the aristocracy of the
people. Though but few join in this, yet its tone
is mighty in power. Its words do not always tell
of joy. gilded affeetion, inordinate pride, pomp
and deceit, too often fovm the greater portion of
the speech that wealth offers for record.
In this great city of ours, these three worlds,
with their charameristics, aro ever found. Like
all else, familiarity with their scenes brings
thoughtlessness as to their real condition; and the
piitieer•by of the ruined hovel, the mechanic's tens
merits, or the palatial mansion, forgets the lesson
that such striking contrasts toaoh. So mortality
goes, and so, until the dawning of a better day,
will society in Its divisions represent these three
worlds.

pervisors were appointed by Mayor Henry yester
day morning:

Police Business.—On Thursday afternoon
a young man, of prepossessing appearance, called
at Adams's dry-goods store, Eighth and Arch
streets, purchased some goods, and ordered them to
be sent to No. 1010 Spring Garden street, giving
the name of Watson. The bill was is be aid
there, and some other articles examined. Gpon
sendit g the goods to the place designated, it was
discovered that the persons residing there know
nothing whatever of the matter, and that packages
from other stores had come there in the same way.
It is presumed that theft was intended. Store
keepers will please make a note.
William Dowick and Frederiok Williams were
arrested at Oheatnut-street wharf, on the charge of
being fugitives from Chesapeake oily, where they
are alleged to have committed a heavy robbery.
They wore handed over to a constable from that
plc O.
The Harvest.—Most of the farmers of the.
surrounding country have cat and housed their
grain, while a few have already commenced the
oats harvest. The crop has been very abundant,
and there has not been so much grain staoked fstr
some years.
Something Desirable.—A jeweler of our

The last trial between these boats was a moat ex
ulting one, and was witnessed by thousands of our
citizens. Tho steamboat Chester bag been altar-
tered for the °cession, and will - acoompany the
boats during the trip, so that those who desire to
witness it can have an opportunity of doing so.
The Chester will stop at Poplar street, Arch, and
Simpson k Nell's wharf.
Police Changes.—Mayor Henry, we learn,
has determined to make no more pollee appoint
ments at present. The change in'the detective
corps has been thorough. Under Mayor Vella the
following gentlemen constituted this portion of the
pollee department: Moses. Blackhnym,
Bulkley, Clark, Traits, Nutt, Carson, Watt, 0411a
nen, Taggart, Carlin, and D. S. Smith. At pre
sent, under Mayor Henry, the following is the
composition of the detective branch of the sere Ida :
Messrs. Blackburn, Russell. Franklin, Bulkley,
Clark, Callanan, Barton, Sommers, Mirkle,
Schlemm, Danfield, and G. Smith
Commendobto wirrangement.—ltis announced
that the Pennsylvania Railroad Company are how
issuing tickets to clergymen at half price. "An
nuals" are furnished to sash one who may desire
it, which, when travelling, is presented to the
conduotors, who are authorized by the face of the
ticket to pass the bearer any desired distanie upon
'the payment of one-balf of the usual fare. This
is a commendable arrangement upon the part of
the managers of the Railroad Company, and will
no doubt be a satisftory one to the ministers.
Drowning Cases.,--The body of Andrew Itc-
Rana, aged 20 years, residing at Howard and
Master streets, who was drowned on Tuesday,
while heating opposite Bridesburg, was recovered
yesterday afternoon; and an inquest held by Cor
oner Fenner, who has recovered we are happy to
learn, from his recent severe indisposition.
John Handy, colored, aged 10 years, a native of
Maryland, was accidentally drowned yesterday
afternoon at Willow street wharf. The corpner
held an Inquest.
An alclual Fact.—The scavengers were on
Chestnut street last night, and busily at work.
We are gratified to make this important announce
ment. The man with the broom and scraper is ac
tually in town, and the readers of The Press who
will walk this morning in the vicinity of Third,
Fourth and Fifth streets, will have an opportuni—
ty of seeing the good work accomplished by him
while they were probably in the land of dreams.
Negligence.—ln view of the almost nightly
orpetration of robberies, it is a matter of sur
prise that housekeepers are so negligent in proper
ly scouring their 'doors. During Friday night,
not less than fifty stores and dwellings wore found
open by the police in different sections of the city.
Child Run Over.—A small child was run
over on Thursday afternoon, in Madison-street,
in the Tenth ward, and was seriously injured.
William Bozonetti, the driver of the vehicle,
was arrested, and committed to await the result of
the injuries.
THE COURTS;
YESTERDAY'S PROOS7.DING9
The Kirkpatrick Poisoning Case.
!Reported for The Press I ,
QUARTER SESSIONS—Judge Allison.—This wise
was closed for the prosecution yesterday after the
examination of Mr. James Henry Makeley, chief
of the detective department. The opening speech
for the defence was made by Mr. Henry Heger
and, as we anticipated, he mainly relies for an ao 7
quittal , for his clients on the disorepancies and eon
tradfotions of the witnesses for the prosecution.
The statement that the person would be produced
who got the fourth pie baked at Robert - B. Kirk
patriok's, about the time of the receipt of the al
leged poisoned pie by Edwin, excited a good deal
of interest. prom other portions of Mr. Hagert's
opening, it will be aeon that the chemical testi
mony given by Dr. Bridges and Hutchinson as to
the presence of arsenic in the pie will be hotly
disputed.
We give a summary of Mr. Beget-Vs opening,:
With submission to the Court, and you, gentle
men of the jury, it becomes now my duty to ad
dress you as counsel for owe of the defendants.
Although counsel but for Mrs. Yardly, yet it has
been arranged by my colleagues that I shall open.
for all the defendants. Mr. Brewster and Mr.
Randall represent Mr. and Mrs. Kirkpatrick, and
Messrs. Hazlehurst and Hirst, the defendant, Jo
siah Jones; and should I make any errors of °MU-
Ilion or commission in opening their defence to yon,
my position as counsel for one defendant will - ex
plain it to you.
This ease you have been told
s an important
one, and has certainly occupied considerable time.
It is now six months since the prosecution began.
On the Bth of February the defendant, R. B.
Kirkpatrick, was arrested upon this charge, and
the other defendants subsequently, and all have
been resting under'a heavy cloud of suspicion over
since. At the preliminary hearing, in the ease.
no witnesses could be heard for the defence, and
only one side of the case. therefore, found its way
into the public prints. No area:l-examination was
made of anyof the witnesses for the prosecution at
these preliminary hearings, all cross-examination
being waived by Robert B. Kirkpatrick, He only
asked that he should be bound over to meet this
charge, and he is hero now to meet it.
This prosecution. gentlemen of the jury, he now
asserts, was got up to injure him in the estimation
of his fellow-citizens. But he does not fear it, and
be is here now without bail, and under no rbspon
.loll4 to remain in the city of Philadelphia.
[This statement of the counsel seemed to excite
considerable surprise.] The time has, however,
happily arrived when the defendants have an op
portunity of speaking to you, gentlemen of the
jam through the months of their counsel. The
prosecution in this case have charged my client,
Mrs. Yardly, as so-defendant, with the serious
crime of attempting to poison the family of Edwin
Kirkpatrick. I will show you that Mrs. Yardly
bears as good a character as any man or woman
put on the stand by the prosecution.
As the defendants are parties entirely innocent
and guiltless in this matter, they cannot show who
it was that sent the pie which it is alleged contained
poison, and which we deny. All we can do is to
show that we are guiltless in this matter, and this
wo will do to your entire satisfaction. YOU have
heard something from the prosecution of the his
tory of Robert B. Kirkpatrick. I will add a few
particulars to that history. [Here the counsel
alluded to the various firms in which R. B. K. was
partner, and the different businesses he was en
gaged in.]
Up to a certain period, and while the defendant,
R. B. K , was prosperous, his brother Edwin and
himself were on tho best terms of intimacy.
Robert kept a country place near the Rising
Sun, and was visited by all his friends there.
He was generous andliespitable to a fault; kept
an open house for all his friends, and his table
was always ready for them. At this time he had
plenty of friends; but having been unfortunate in
hie sugar refinery, he failed in business, and the
friends he had while he was prosperous deserted
him. Mr.-Charles Celia was one of these 13(11=01 ,
friends, and when he found he could not get in
the refinery be changed sides, and went into the
employment of Myers, Kirkpatrick, 6: Co. The
failure and disappointments preyed so much on
Robt. K. that be becanie ill, and continued so
during 1846-7. Through all his misfortunes ho was
watched over and carefully tended by his wife, and
he did not nor will not desert her in herpresent diffi
culty. They always lived happily together, and she
bas proved herself an upright, honorable, and vir
tuous woman. Six months ago these people found
their bonze haunted by shadows—by police off,:
oars. Upon returning home from a place of public
amusement. Robt. K. wag informed that he had
been oalled upon by a police officer, and the next
day—the 6th of • February last—he was arrested,
and upon asking upon what charge, he was in
formed it was about a letter. He went to the.
police office with the officer. On the same day the
cook was arrested ; this was on Tuesday, Mrs. K.
left alone in the house, was very naturally alarmed
at those arrests, and told the girt to be careful
what she would say for fear of injuring Mr. K.
On the Wednesday following Josiah Jones was '
arrested. Ellen Lynch was called upon to make a '
private statement about what occurred in the
house. Tho bill of indiotment was found by the
Grand Jury on the 26th of April, and a bench war
rant issued the next morning fbr my client, Mrs.
Yardly, which was the first intimation she bad
that she was made a co-defendant. I will not now
speak of the motive of this prosecution. There is
something kept bank—something hidden, which I
cannot discover, and which they have no right to
conceal What Is the motive attributed to Robert
B. Kirkpatrick fur this attempt at poisoning?
They did say before the magistrate onto, that the
motive was that this defendant might be one step
nearer his father's property, should he die intes
tate,
The proseoution have also attempted to show
that the defendant, R. B R., once made a threat
against Edwin's life. Our defence is—first, that
there was no motive for the defendants commit
ting the horrible offence with which they are
charged ; eocondly, that the tests and the results
of the analysis used by the medical gentlemen
who have boon examined for the prosecution are
entirely fallacious. We will show that Dr. Hutch
inson's testimony is wholly unreliable. We will
show that there were points in Dr. Bridges' testi
mony which be omitted. That it would be im.
possible for him to say there was any arsenic in
that pie, and that under any circumstances he
could not say that the poison was put In the pie
before batiing.
It has not been shown who sent this pie up to
the present instant. ft:tenant then went on to
speak of the contradictions and disorepanolos in
the testimony of the servants, and charged Ellen
Lynch with a suppression of the truth.] We will
show you who has got the fourth pie that was so
mush talked about. The person- is alive, and
will be produced before yen. The prosecution
pretend to say that this pie came from R. B. K.,
and was brought by Josiah Jones to the house of
the prosecutor. We will show you that the boy
was mistaken in the person, and wo will produce
the girl who saw the person who brought the pie,
and who says it was not Josiah Jones.
Wo will show you that Mrs. Yardly, who is
charged hero as being a street-walker, had a bed
ridden and sick mother, and bad no time for snob
th'ngs. We will show that eho is a faithful member
of the Episcopal Church. You have been told by
the prosecution that the reason it was begun was
that Edwin Kirkpatrick believed it to be his duty
to bring it. We will show you that there was no
evidence against him when this prosecution was
commenced It has not even been positively
proved to you that the pie was poisoned at all. It
tom not been proved to you that the pie has been
over sent from It B. Kirkpatrick. We will produce
witnesses who will prove to von that the letters pro
duced were not written by R. B. Rirkpatriok. Mr.
Kelley, the counsel for the proseoution, told you
that this case Is new to the annals of Pennsylvania.
It is new, certainly. to find a brother, born of the
same mother, bring such a prosecution, and I trust
it will be long before such a case will be brought
before the public notice again. I will ask you
now, gentlemen, with confidence. after you have
heard the evidence I will produce before you, to
calmly and firmly return your verdict of acquit
tal, and send these people back to society, relieved
from this heavy accusation.
Upon the conclusion of Mr.:llagert's speech,
Mr. Kelley asked that the peels should be put
under the same bail that was originally imposed
upon them.
Mr. Brewster objected The motion wee en
tirely out of order at this time, and should not be
m'ido. The counsel for the defence should net be
interrupted.
Mr Kelley said that until the statement of Blz,.
Bogart, he was of the impression the partlim were
under bail, but ho Would now press Mk the court
to put them under the game ball as before.
The court ordered y6e Tee/Munn tO be re

THE MONEY MARKET.
• PHILADELPHIA, July 23, 18.58.
The stook market to-day was pretty steady, and
calm were made to a moderate extent.
In the money market there is no change.
We desire to call the attention of the pubhe to
the fact that by an act passed May 6th, 1857, the
State tax of three mills on the dollar imposed upon
real and personal estate was reduced to two mills
and a half. The reduction, it was provided,
should not go into operation or apply to the taxes
levied for the year 1857. and some parties who
knew that three inills had been paid last year,
have overlooked or forgotten the law for the re
duction, which is now in force.
We understand that the interest upon the Alle
gheny county bonds was forwarded for payment
to the bondholders, with three mills taken off; but
the Commercial Bank -brought the error to the
attention of the proper authorities, who promptly
corrected the error, and paid up the difference.
As there may be other instances in which too much
has been deducted for the payment of this tax to
the State, we mention this fact and the law as a
matter of general interest.

previously received this year, makes the total re

The Memphis papers report that the failure of
the Citizens' Bank is a bad one, and that little
will bo realized from its assets. As yet, no exami
nation has been made into its affairs, and it is im
possible to know its condition. Without there has
been absolute swindling, the noteholders may
realize something. The papers relate individual
instances of distress caused by the failure of this
bank. Great oonfidenee was reposed In it, as its
owners were wealthy and bore a high character.
They will probbly be held liable, and their private
property may pay any deficiency that arises.
