THE DEMOCRATIC RATIONAL CONVEN•-
Tloft

In order to show 14 ; •Teso alr the one-
T l l1 -9,q, of4,ppplart , t3oviireynty adbqed to the
101';_§,tunlaire4:.* the l -Washingteltyntion, of
defefting the tiiincifffii:::to which Ihe Demo
crate stand ,pledged by , ten thousand declara
tionti, and by,ol their Coiveitienti, the Al
bany (N. Y.) Atlas a few days ago boldly
invited the Democrats of Illinois to' send two
sets of delegates to the Demociatic Nuttona/
Convention to bi 'held in Charleston in 18601
It even offers to supply them the old barn-
,burner arguments in „Myer of this practice.
The Allas was the organ of the VAN Ileum
bolters in 1848, which bolters defeated 'the
-.Democratio party in that year, - and have
been, - ever • 1 since Mr. Buortait,in was .
made President, (when- they became rabid
Lecemptonites; to get the offices •in New
Vork,) unrelenting enemies of the present'
Chief Magistrate of the nation. It is right,
therefore, that this new ;Jame of disorgani
zation should . be suggested by the men who
managed ..the •old one. They are the 'natural
enemies of the national Democratic party.
They - fought the Compromise measures of• 1860,
with s all their .power, and they are consistent
with themselves, at this day,• in opposing the
doctrine of Popular Sovereignty, which was
the basis of theta ireat_acts of pacification.
The Democrats of Illinois, led by Judge
Doyens, -at this day occupy a distinctive
platform of the Democratic party. They not
only maintain the solid principles of the De
mOCracy, but the usages of that 'party 'too.
Because, oily becaude, they will not agree to:
give up Clair principles, and substitute_ the
heresy of i;ecompton, they are 'to be driven
out of the Democratic party, and the National
Convention is called on to reject their dele
gates, and to admit those who accept Lecomp
timrtebe 'chosen, bra :•fiet of office-holders,
who speak only for a handrail c7l' men.
' - We have made this alinSion to the. course of
the advo . catea of Lecompton (for the Aga, and
the Washington Union 'speak in the same
key) as an admonition to the National Dem
ocrats in the different States. If the Lecomp ,
tonitoa in Illinois are' to be encouraged to
send a Lecompton delegation to the Demo
cratic. National Convention , 'directly in the
teeth of the Democrats of that State, what
will those Democrats do; in other" States, who
are asked to adhere to an organization which
ignores a sacred and fundatnental principle
In Illinois, a false sot of delegates is to be got
up;beeause the Deniocrats there adhere to the
'principle of Popular Sovereignty. Elsewhere,
to be consistent with themselves, these said
office-holders will insist that their delegates
shall alone be admitted. Will they be re
spected Wo say Thia 'high-handed
usurpation in Illinois will lead, and must lead,
national Democrats everywhere to onomuzn,
and to insist upon tho endorsement of Popu
lar Sovereignty at • the bar of' tho National
Convention. It there aro to be double sets
to vindicate a wrong, will there not also bo
double sots to vindicate the right ?
It will be aeon that the flagrant example of
disorganszation against Asynincipte begins with
the Lecomplonites. The Washington Union
leads themOvement; the Albany Alias seconds
it, !and Jothers will , soon follow their ignoble
lead.' Those who have declared that Judge
DOUGLAS, Governor WALKEn, Governor WISE,
haire left the Democratic party, boldly leave
it themselves, by inaugurating a system which
must break np the Democratic National Con
vention, and'cover,the glorious flag of Demo
cracy with disgrace.
Frierids of Popular Sovereignty! Keep

LETTER FROM #IOOOASIONAL.”
I Oerreepondenee of The Prem..' •
Weenie eTos, .7bly 30, 1858
It has been decided that George M. Wharton
of your city, is to be the Administration candidate
for Congress in the Second district. lie is a gen
tleman of ;high eltaraoter and fine abilities, and
these qualifications, united to the faot that he is
an old • line, Whig, are 'relied upon to secure,
through his nomination and election, the endorse
ment of the Leoompton policy by your citisens.
Were the feeling on this subject less intense than
it ti, thls,projeet might mooed very well ; but
when the strong anti-Leoompton, sentiment ex
isting is added to the fact that Mr. Wharton's
ultra Ourse on the - bank question at the time of
the great oriels in 1857 was extremely obnoxious to
hislonner friends, and to the rumor that he en
tertains strong predileotions for ultra Frio-trade
principles, I apprehend that even custom house
and post office influences will not find It a very
easy matter to carry out the programme for his no•
urination, and that, if they do, he may look for
wsid with certainty to defeat at the polls. But
the office-holders have their instruotions.
It is rumored that your distinguished Repro.
sentative, Mr. Phillips, has reconsidered his former
determination to decline running for a second
term, and it, is even said that ho is indulging a
faint hope of access, notwithstanding the well
,kniown dissatisfatlon of the great body of his con
stituents with his conduct at the last session.
The. expenditure in England for Mill contingen
cies in the year 1857-8, amounting to L 128,121, as
serforti to the British publlo, exhibits some items
of i nterest to us of the United States First we
base £2,500 for the expenses of the Fishery (United
States) treaty. Next there 1511,000 for the Amer
loan and Canadian Boundary Commission. At the
bead of this commission on the part of the United
States, is Mr. Campbell, lately of the War DO.
pertinent. The objdot is to fix exactly the been.
deny between our Northwesters' Territories and
the liritish posiesslone, and the decision of the
question, espeotally in reference to' the Straits of
Fuss, has; sine the disoovery of the gold diggings
upon Frazer'e" and !Thompson's rivers, acquired
now and greater importance. It is presumed that
be work will bo finished within this year, and
submitted for the approval of the , respective Go ,
vernments.
The next item I shall refer to Is that of .£l,OOO,
for Sir W. Gore Oustley's special wanton In
Central America. If his minion be to ()antral
Amerioa, why then the necessity of 11 is residence
in Washington? fre gets 11,000, and has not yet
seen the pleats or government
,to which be is ao•
credited. • Napier is at Washington doing nothing,
and. It Is hardly•poselble that Oaseley is sent out
to help him."
Now seems to be the golden opportunity for our
acquisition of Outs. While the London Journals
speak of the matter In its relations to the univer•
sal abolition of the slave trade, they do not loge
eight altogethez of the pecuniary argmaint.
, -C70 : 000,000 to 180,000,000 of borrowed money is
due by Spain to English subjeets, and up to the
present moment the prineipti and 'utmost remain
unpaid. England would, it seems, in the can of
Spain, as in the cue of Mexico, throw either Or
both overboard In favor of a wealthy 'nation like
the United States that would afford some churle
for payment of at leant 1101110 part of so largo a
debt. • • OCCASIONAL.,

Fortunately for the honor of New York loglela

believe that the two persons were identical, a sup-
position that exemplifies the present state of at.
fairs in our city. Tits Tribnne asseverated

they were aware that the potaeesion of a modicum
of wealth,-and political influence in a certain die
trlot,lwas enough to insure thel'eleotion of arts; as
plaint to an °Rice within that district's gift. But
as the two " Peters" are distinct individuals, we
may yet have hope for future New York Legisla
tares.
To-day, at hat :peat one, the h arming of James
Holly took place at the prison yard in Brooklyn.
Although the arrangements wore private, there
seemed to be great anxiety to witness the choking
process, and soma varying' from Aye to fifteen
dollars were offered for card' of admission. Two
individuals were so enthuslatitio that they called
upon the sheriff, insisting on admittance, and one
offered, if there were no other way to get in, to
hang. the prisoner hmeelf without charge.
Truly, we are in the' midst of an era of eivilisa
tion.

FROM, WEST EIIESTEIt
EXECUTION OF JAMES KELLY.
I From the New York Post of last eyenifig.l .l ,
James Kelly expiated his oftenait of the murder
if' his wifo on the scaffold -of. the King's county
I ill, at eight and a half minutes past one this at
ernoon. The hanging was clumsily dote, and
he. unfortunate man's agonies 'were needlessly
,rotineted.
Hooter Tucker, of Brooklyn, visited him yester
, ay afternoon, and wee present about an hour.
He asked Kelly bow be felt? Kelly said .
"Very well, indeed, under the, circumstances.
I urn perfectly resigned to my fate. I have nein,-
i dy to blame but myself; and my sentence is a
iiust one. I have made no effort for a pardon or
commutation of sentence. I killed my wife and
am willing to suffer the extreme penalty of the
law. I fool kindly toward everybody, and think
II eau leave the world without regret, and hope I
I shall go to Re scaffold like a man.' I am vat) ,
igrateful to the keepers for their kindness to me,
I I
think I shall leave this life without an enemy.
II have had a fair and just trial."
The Doctor bade him good afternoon, when K,l
ly asked him to call again, holding his hand long
l and warmly. In the other he held a cross and
. book of devotion, to which he has paid great at
' tention. He wall very calm and composed, and
did not display the least nervous excitement. He
talked freely and without hesitation.
The confessor remained with Kelly all night,
only leaving him at five in the morning. Reli
gious readings Were kept up until after eight
o'clock. . Kelly. then obtained writing .inaterials
and made his will. In this instrument he be.
4uslitheS his property, real and personal, to his
children; and appointed rather Gleason their
guardian. The d.eputy-sheriff, Mr. Sparks, was
called in and affixed his name as witness. 'A short
time before midnigt refreshments were brought
e i h\,,
'in
. lie and the prison artook of a slight repast.
soon after laid himself upon his couch and
slept soundly abont four hours. He then erase,
and religious service was resumed. Father Glea
son then administered the sacrament of extreme
attotion. Kelly still preserved his firmness. It
was decided that no mass should be celebrated at
Mon, lest it should have a depressing influence
• , reilou the condemned. lie was accordingly shriven
Ind annotated, when the priest loft him for me
rit hours. Kelly now occupied the intervening
tine in religions reading.
THE HORNING OP THE axgctinort
The sleep of the evening bad been produced by
laudanum. After tho priest had left him, he took
alight breakfast. .IPaiktr Gleason soon returned,
logetber with Roy. Measre. Knyan and Caseidy,
and the morning wee spent in religious exercises.
At nine o'oloolc a crowd began to collect around
fie jail, and become s° turbulent that at times it
fba found difficult to keep them from breaking the
door. A alight rain falling did somewhat to °heck
their ardor
At a quarter before eleven the National Guards
entered, and wore escorted to the supervisors'
zoom, up stairs. Soon afterwards about a huadred
and ifty of the Metropolitan police entered, and.
were assigned places In the court.
At twelve o clock, Deputy Sheriff Parker called
the roll of the jury, and administered the usual
oath. He also qualified,. In like manner, all the
deputy sheriffs who were present to assist at the
occasion.
At ten minutes After twelve, the National
Guards, and another military company of the
Thirteenth regiment, entered the court of the
jail, and were assigned their positions. The re
porters were also placed at the farther extremity
of the scaffold. Rare ail remained stationary till
one o'clock. Meanwhile two showers falling did
much to cool the air.
At one o'clock the prisoner emerged from the
jail, attended by the eheritl and clergymen.
Kelly looked pato, but did not appear to flinch.
As they passed the fonao around the scaffold he
knelt, and Father Gleason presceeded to address
him. Kelly then spoke :
am thankful to you all for the kindness
which has bent shown to me. To you, father, I
leave my children—l l,•pe that (led will bine
them."
Ilia pronunciation was low and indiatine.t. Fa
ther Gleason now proceeded to read the cervices,
in whir& Kelly joined with much apparent de
votion. Tne oruolfix was held towards him by
Father Cassidy,- and he kieeed it with much fer
vor. Father Gleason then repeated the final ab
solution.
The noose which hung upon his breast was now
adjusted, and attached to the hook. The face of
Kelly, before pale and wan, now flushed vividly,
and be showed evident signs of trepidation. At
eight minutes past one the black cap was drawn
over his face, and for many SeeOnds he stood there
in momentary suspense
At last the signal wasgiven, the fatal rope was
secured, and, as the weights fell, Kelly was jerked
four feet from the ground. As the noose tightened,
It passed some little distance forward, and for
several minutes a gurgling sound was distinotiy
audible. His contortions and struggles were vio
lent.
•
After hanging half an hour, life being deolared
extinct, the body was taken down at forty minutes
pastone, and delivered to the friends of the de
ceased 6r interment. •
Thus died James Kelly. by a violent death, in-
Marred by his own brutality and arlme. Favored
beyond most men in his walk of life, by the pos
session of a companion who isould smooth his path
way and elevate his character, be embittered her
life by drunkenness and ill-usage, and finally has
tened her to the grave by a deed of foulest bru
tality. The law in his case proved inexorable,
and to him has been meted out its last penalty.
There were few palliating oircumstanoes, and it
was the conviction of all who knew him and the
circumstances of his crime, that his fate, severe
and. unremitting as it has beon, was most richly
deserved. He met the death of a felon for a deed
exceeding in atrocity the Crimea of ordinary mut ,
•derers—a deed committed, not in the fury of anger
nor the delirious frenzy of drunkenness, but in
open daytime, after weeks of deliberation. Society
has avenged the wrong, and let it be a warning to
those who may he tempted by uncontrolled passion
.to imitate his bad example.
The.Faneral et General - Waltman;
the Natchez Free Trader, of July 20th, oontalna
the following etooount of ihoi interment of General
Quitman :
Colonel Hißyer, the marshal of the day, named
as aide and aseistante, Colonels W. W. 'W. Wood
and David Stanton. aide, end Colonel Jno. Minor,
Win Cannon, Req., Colonel li. B. Shaw and Capt.
Campbell Marsh, assistants. The publio buildings
in the city wale kept closed during the entire day,
flags appeared with the union down abd at half
mast, and also suspended in various places bound
in crape. At meridian, In conformity with the
Mayor a proclamation and the universal sentiment
pervading each breast, every place of business
within the city limits was closed, and very many
buildings were draped in mourning, an outward
manifestation of the sorrow and sadness of the
community. Our streets were nearly deserted.
Shortly after 3 P. V. the procession was formed
on Well street, fronting the court house, and began
the march amid the tolling of the belle, Colonel
Ilillyer, marshal, and Colonels Wood and Stanton,
aids, riding at the head ; next rho muds, the same
that had, many a time and oft, in days lang tune,
timed the soldier's step of the great declaimed at
"home" parades; then followed the military, the
Natchez Guards, Captain Miciderhoff, and the
Adams Light Guard, Captain Clarke, in columns
of stations, comprising the first division, under the
'command of Assistant Marshal Shaw. The recond
division, consisting of the Idaaoalo fraternity and
the lodges of Odd Fellows and other alai° emana
tions, was under the command of Assistant Mar
shal Cannon. The third division, comprising
the General Committee of Arrangements,. the
Mayor and Selectmen of the pity, the invited
guests from abroad, the Clergy, the bat the medi
cal faculty, city officers,
comity officers, and board
of visitors, principal and teachers of the Natohee
Institute, was under the command of*Aseistant
Marshal Minor, and the rear was brought up by
the fourth divi sion, strangers citizens and car
riages, under the command of 'Assistant Marshal
Marsh. The line thus formed passed down State,
up Canal, and through Main, to Pine street, and
thence up Pine to St. Catherine street, moved out
to Monmouth, pedestrians joining in the procession
on the marsh, and carriages swelling the pageant,
till it stretched out fully a half mile, being com
posted of from 800 to 1,000 people.
Arrived at the inner gate of Monmouth, the
horses and carriages were left on the outside, and
the vast concourse passed through and antid the
walks to and in front of the late residence of the
deceased, where the line was halted. The grounds
of Monmouth were orowded with citizens and
strangers of all sexes, classes, conditions, and
ages, who bore the appearance of a multitude of
mourners gathered around the bier of the father
of their one common faintly. The funeral service
was performed at the house by Rev. Dr. Perry,
pastor of the Trinity Church, and the pall-bearers
then gathered around the (NANA, over whioh bad
been thrown the banner of the United States—a
fitting pall for the hero dead. Again over this
was laid the worn, tattered, and torn flag of the
Natchez Fenoiblee, of which company the deceased
was wont to speak in terms of affection as hie
nestling. Ile wee IN founder and first captain.
On this flag laid his Peneibles uniform and sword,
long since disused, but in excellent prooreation.
On a stand near by was his full-dress major gene
rare uniform, the epauletted coat, the sash, the
gauntlete, and his swords. Among the latter we
observed one bearing the inscription :

(From the New York Courier of Ju'y 30.]
A report was current in the city on Thursday,
that Mr. John V. James had died very suddenly
and mysteriously at his residence, No 69 Amity
street, and that-his remains had been conveyed in
a clandestine manner to Albany, the plugs of "his
nativity, What added stilt more to the mystery,
woe the fact that his death was announced in the
Herald of Monday, as having taken place on Sun
day evening, when In fact he wee well - at that
limo and contirned so up to within a few hours
bf his decease, which took place on Tuesday eve-
ning. Alt James bad been addicted to excess in
the me of ardent spirits, and was in the habit of
partaking of powerful medicines. It is supposed
that he intended committing suicide on ftunday
'night, and after having penned a notice of his
death and sent it to the Herald office, his courage
failed him, and ho postponed' the deed:' The fol
lowing le the notice referred to :
"Died,—On Sunday evening; July . 25th, Mr.
John V. James, of Albany." "This sentence will
occasion many a sad heart among those who knew
him. He was 'one 'of thekladest and gentlest of
human beings. For the last throe years Mr.
James has been connected with =the press. The
last lines he ever wrote were on the death of his
friend Lieutenant Gaston, who fell with Captain
Taylor, of whose death a feeling and eloquent
paragraph was published in yesterday's Herald.
Mr. James was only twenty years of age at the
time of his death. fad ho lived he would have
made a name for himself among the writers of his
country."
On the morning subsequent to his death a Wagon,
containing a coffin, was driven up to No 67 Amity
street. The coffin was taken into the house, and
in about fifteen minutes afterwards brought out.
placed upon the wagon, and driven off. The act
web noticed by persons residing in the neighbor
hood, and finally came to the knowledge of In
spector Dints, Fifteenth police district, who en
deemed to get information at the house where
deceased •bad resided, but failed, and then ap
piled to the physicians who bad attended him.
These gentlemen stated that they had made a
yese-mortent examination of the. body, and timer•
tamed that death was caused hzialls.r.i/tm tremens,
accelerated by the strong mesa ho had been
in the habit of using. On the ttertiftcate given
by one of these gentlemen, the body was taken
far interment to Albany, where most of the rela
tives of deceased reside , There is but little
doubt, however, from the circumstances above
named, that the deceased committed suicide. For
a man of his years, Mr. James was a writer of con
siderable ability, and possessed decided talent as
a poet. It is stated that he was a relative of Mr.
P. R. James, the English novelist .

cases are announced. The editor of the Advocate

Chestnut Street,"
Gross and Dastardly Outrage by Policemen.
—While writing at the composing room of The
Press office this morning, between twelve and one
o'olock, we heard the sound of a policemen's
rattle, which proceeded from the corner, of Second
street and Carter's alley. At once, we repaired
_to this place, when-we found that a poor colored
map, who was in an almost starving condition,
bad been!arrested by one of the Fifth-ward Mears,
On - account of having stolen some trivial -ar
ticle of food. 130 mato no resistance whatever,
and' expressed his willingness to accompa
ny the officer ; notwithstanding which, the
rattle was sprung, and the whole neighborhood
completely aroused. Several policemen were at-,
traoted to the spot, who, without the slightest
provocation, drew their "billies" and struok the
unfortunate offender over the bead, face and arms,
bruising him in the most shocking manner.
Seieral citizens, who witnessed this dastardly
conduct on the part of the police, remonstrated
with them on the gross improprietyof their con
duet, when they were saluted with oaths and
threats of arrest. The nippers were plated upon
' the prisoner, and revers officers, despite the ear
nest entrendes of those who were shocked at this
scene of unmanly brutality, aided in dragging him
by the hair, through the gutters, for a distance of
several squares. .He was etruok with their " bil
' lice," kicked, and in every respect treated more
like a dumb brute than a human being.
The language of the policemen concerned in
this outrage was disgustingly profane. ' In all our
experience we have never witnessed anything so
I much calculated to arouse an indignant feeling
against those chosen guardians of municipal peace
and property, who, false to their manhood, have
played the part of cruel tyrants, as though a life
I training had eminently prepared them for perfec
tion therein. The charge of potty larceny against
the poor prisoner may be published to 6% world
as a crime ; but we would prefer alhousand times
to answer for it, than to be guilty of the inhuman
brutality manifested by these Fifth-ward officers.
Lieutenant Oakley owes It to himself, and to the
division of which he is the acknowledged bead,
to ,investigate thle ease, so that the services of
those who have proven themselves brutes may be
dispensed with, and that right epeedily.
We learn that a number of gentlemen, who were
collected at the scene of the arrest by the unne
cessary springing of the rattles, hare determined
to report the offending policemen to Mayor Henry.
This afield will, no doubt, do his whole duty in
relation to the matter. Several of the compositors
in The Press aloe who witnessed the conduct of
them policemen, while remarking upon the lack of
manliness exhibited by those disgracing the badges
they wore, were threatened- with arrest in the
most insulting language. Through su ch the
prisoner was literally dragged for a number of
squares to the Fifth-ward station-house, where he
was looked up—the captors, who committed the
greater crime, being allowed perfect liberty.
Serious accident to Mr. .F. Knox Morton.
Yesterday afternoon,Mr. B. Knox Morton, well
known In political circles in this city, was thrown
from his light wagon at the corner of Seventeenth
and Hamilton streets, and injured an the most
serious manner. The horse attaehed to the wagon
became frightened at the whistle of a looomotivo,
and started off in the wildest manner, being en
tirely beyond the control of the driver. Mr. Mor
ton was taken from the ground in en insensible
condition and conveyed to an adjoining house, where
he was attended by several eminent physicians.

The five hundred dollars reward offered for the
arrest of Murphy, UM alleged murderer of Neal,
has sharpened the eyes, if not the wits of people,
and the police here are in the almost daily receipt
of letters from around the country, giving. infor
mation of some wandering individual whom the
writers are certain is the fugitive- Where these
communications are deemed to by of sufficient im
portunes, an officer goes tff in pursuit of the sus
pected man, but, an far, all these chases have
yielded no fruits. A short time since, information
was received that a. eutpiolons-looking individual,
who had a soar upon his face, was travelling
around in the Jerseys scene mites below Gloucester,
and as Murphy has a sear upon his faoe it - wee at
once concluded that-the stranger could banone
, other then be. Upon this hint High Constable
I Franklin posted off in pursuit of the fugitive; but
he was too lath to catch him. It was made mani
fest, however, that the suspected man was no leas
a personage than - de Riviera, the Zouave, for whom
the climate of New York had - grown too but for.
comfort. The officer, while on the errand, obtained
the whole story of de Riviere's wanderings, after
he went to Gloucester, which is quite amusing.
It seems that Riviera, when• be found 'that the
pursuit of him was becoming too earnest to be com
fortable, shaved off his moustache, donned a sail
or's blue flannel shirt, mounted an old straw hat,
made his home at a fisherman's cabin at Glouces
ter, and passed himself off for an honest fisherman.
Wearying of the rough Jersey fare of his host, he
came up to town -In his fisherman "rig," and ,
cruised about the streets and the markets for the
purpose of proearing some sweet oil, garlic; onions
and other Fret/63'0W dainties, as well as the Hot
landish luxurypf,in. Finally, he was dompelled
to leive Groucester, and he was taken down to
League Island, where he was left, fur a time tb
gun and fish. Hearing that League Island was
about to be searched, he pushed on down to Ra
coon Island, opposite Chester, where he was in
troduood to "Aunt Debby," the proprietress
of a hustelrie in that classic region, as nn indi
vidual who wanted to do a little gunning around
the island. The stranger was reputed to
be delicate and dainty; but it was observed by
" Aunt Debby," and remarked upon by " the men
felks " about the house, that the dainty foreigner
had a very remarkable capacity for fodder and
excelent powers of absorption. While the incog.
canna was staying on Racoon Island, Aunt Debby
hod occasion to Mire up his bed, and finding under
his pillow a pair of revolvers and a bowie-knife,
she became greatly alarmed thereat. This circum
stance, together with the fact that there was a
prospect of a emelt boirg made, determined the,
Zouave to direct his attention to a more secure
asylum, and he was accordingly brought up in a
fisherman's boat and landed at the Point House,
below this city, in all the glory of blue shirt, straw
hat, and revolvers. Since that' time, the 19th
inst., nothing has been heard of the w hereabouts
of the distinguished stranger, and it is probab'e
that ho is still wandering about, avoiding the offi
cers of the law, and taking in and doing for unsus
pecting publiciana.-

they are wicked - libels; 'anti 'Mr. Edwin K'rk
patriok swears that no .woman had any right
to rend suoh letter) to him. If there was a Miss
Sherburne or Mrs. Woods ; would she not have ap
peared andAriven this prosecutor out of the court
house In shame and' isgrace I But none of these .
parties have appeared who hay that Edwin Kirk
patrick seduced her; there letters, charging him
with this guilty crime, ere lies and libellous ; and
there "is an identity between the writings of the
letters, the similarity of obargeein all of them—
Al make demands for 'money in a business-like
manner—so dose the Ellmaletter •, they are not the
letters of an -erring And-184mnd woman. These
letters are sent to hie father, mother,.and wife;
and at that time the - wife had 'need of the
consolation pf 'her 'husband's leve - , - sho - having
given birth , to en - infant' duly-lb - tee days Old.
Who-- was these lettere-sent- by ?‘.. The evidence
shows that one woman :at least teas vonneated in
this letter writing; she: is Elisabeth - Richards,
now Mrs Yardley. Wee she the woman who met,
Mr: Edwin' Kirk patrick tiptin' the street? If you
believe him, his' brOther Alexander and Charles

The evidence as to Eobert n Is
°ley the daguerreotype came from him; it SOS
been identified as the likeness of Mies Rice; R B.
Kirkpatrick got this likeness' and carried it off
with him, and then it appears in eonneetion with
No. 12 letter. All this is in . evidence as clear as
the noon.daysun ; no explanation hot been given
by the defendant in -reference to this speaking
likeness ;...se trace It to his hands; and be does not
explain it it was taken from him by stealth or by
come of his domestios. All this points out Olathe,
and he alone,. sent the Sherburne letter, with
the , daguerreotype, to Edwin Kirkpatrick; It is
Ptinager than all the evidence in reference to
handwriting, taking into consideration that the
letter his father add" mother received le writ
ten in the same hand and by the, same person
as the Sherlinrne letter, which accompanied the
daguerreotype- - - -
In reference to the handwriting, Mr. Coffey read
the evidence of Mr. Sharkey and Mr.-Martin to
the jury ; and then commented upon the evidence
ofEdwin,
Francis, and William • Kirkpatrick and
Jaettb li. Lex ; and contrasted it with that of Mr.
Wood, Mr Sb arp, Mr. Field, James T. Kirkpatrick,
and several other witnersee.

The upward movement in fancy steaks Seems to
have come to a sudden ending ; the fanny stooks .
el declining further at the board to-day, and
closing heavy.
The State Treasurer Is ready with the interest
coming due by the Commonwealth. Those who
were formerly paid at, the Bank of Pennsylvania
will receive the interest on their loans at the 'Far
mers' and Mechanics' Bank. The coupon' bond
holders will- be paid as usual at the Girard Bank.
A report, in the nature of a defence, has been
;slued by the directors of -the New York and Rrie
- Railroad Company upon the troubles between that
concern and its competitors. These directors charge
the other companies with repeated violations of
the former agreements, and with a refusal to
ratify the agreement made in convention at
Philadelphia, in May. The latter lapse, they
allege, freed' ;them from all engagements, and
they .used their new liberty by reducing the
prise of passenger travel, expecting thereby to
inorease this tralSe.. _They complain of this _war
fare, waged upon them by the railroad interests of
the country on account of their reduction of pas
senger fares, while no notice was taken of the, re
duction by rival lines of the rates of transporta
tion.' They'adhere to their position, and Indulge
in some pretty sharp allusions to the Bow York
Central Railroad anti its managers, and a'Mng or
two at the Pennsylvania Central.
The directors of the New York Central Railroad
mcet at Albany on Thursday next, August sth, to
declare the semi-annual dividend; when we may
or may nothave a counter blast.. -

thousand eight hundred and sixty-seven, being en
increase of live thousand two hundred , and eight
passengers in six months,- or nearly one thousand
per month, The road, we hear, is in exoellent
order, and its increasing utility could notoertain
