",OCCASIONAL.” lirAsnINGToN, Sept. 25, 1865 Acting upon the prOmptings of self-inte rest and a wise philanthropy, the Southern people must become one of the most power ful communities in the world. It is mani fest that they cannot re-organize and safely conduct their greatly changed domestic and political institutions and habitudes Without being heartily helped by the influ ential and controlling majorities in the free " States. These majorities are animated by a keen sense of affec tion and of duty in the matter of the colored race of the South, long held in bondage for the benefit of a comparatively small number of whites, and now made politically free by the treble operation of necessity, war and constitutional amend rant ! Should these same whites, among Whom the blacks muse live either as willing auxiliaries or as discontented proletaries, adopt and act upon such a policy as 'would seem to be commanded by per tonal as well as public expediency and justice, the fraternity between the North and the South. will be so earnest and sin cere as to endure through and defy all the gloelcs and accidents of fate and time. On this subject there is a very natural solici tude among the opponents of slavery, and it has extended to the whole body of the Northern people. They regard themselves as bound to watch over the freedmen. The unconscious and innocent causes of the war, the issue that has - made them free. must not also leave them lanfriended and proscribed. Should that 'Which lies so near to the hearts of all humane men be responded to in good spirit, it will ensure prosperity in every State of the 'Union, that will challenge historie,L, or even imaginative comparison. There have been marvellous changes within the last few years, but that which will most sur prise and bencdt the South will be the Mar fficene reward of its generous treat ment to the freedmen. Every considera tion of self-interest and benevolence con- Spires, as I haye said, to make this generosity sinmtimeous, genuine, and constant. The first practical result will be the sure begin ping of a policy that will ease the principal . „.. -. . : . ... . .. --,' •, >,_ „ . -- - IVO' ~,,,',- ' - .

The Condition of the Freedmen in Mis sissippi. The freedmen's bureau is in receipt of an important report from Col. SAMUEL THOMAS, assistant commissioner of freedmen's affairs for the States of Louisiana and Mississippi. Upon the report is founded the property re turns for the month of August. This report is not entirely complete, owing to the fact that part of the records of the State of Missis sippi have been destroyed, and the citizens seem adverse to telling tile truth about any of the property held by the bureau. This report shows that the plantations leased in Louisiana were 115, in 'Mississippi 136—in Louisiana 57 and in Mississippi US by whitest in Louisiana 58 and in Mississippi 23 by blacks —total 502. Nine thousand acres of land were leased to blacks in Mississippi ; four thousand five hundred acres of land were leased to blacks in Louisiana ; thirteen thousand lirehundred acres of land, in eighty-one plantations, were leased to blacks. Thirty-one thousand acres of land were leased to whites in Mississippi. Twenty-one thousand five hundred acres of land in one hundred and seventy plantations were leasedto whites. Total, efty-two thousand five hundred. Thirteen thousand five hundred acres of land were leased to blacks. Total, sixty-six thousand acres leased. About one helf the lands leased to white lessees were abandoned, owing to the Overflow of the Mississippi. It should be remembered that this amount of land is that which was turned over by the leasing agent of the Treasury Department, together with the land being cultivated by the freedmen, under the charge,of the bureau. Nearly all of this land belongs to citizens who will receive it back in January, 1866, under the provisions of eireular fifteen, A tremendous pressure is being brought to bear by returning citizens, of all classes, to get possession of their property. They are constantly writing letters to the Pre sident, and the heads of different bureaus at Washington, filled with all kinds of misrepre; sentations, in order to effect their pur poses. It is becoming very unpopular with the army, and even with loyal citizens, to hold property of any kind belonging to the citizens of this State. I heartily Wish that it was all turned over, or the policy of the Government more clearly defined. No property has been libelled for confiscation. I have made no at tempt to distribute lands in small lots to the negroes, as I know it will meet with strong opposition from all parties. It will require a hero to execute it, and a military force to pro tect the freedmen daring the term of their lease The planters are all oppesed to it, as it will derange the laboring system for wages on the plantations. The organization for the State is becoming more complete every clay, and, as a natural consequence, the business of the gene ral office is more satisfactory. Fifty-seven officers are in various ways connected with the bureau, and all are now on duty. These officers are distributed over the State, that the freedmen may be protected and , the planters informed of their duty. The returns of rations are not complete, but are as nearly so as we can get them for this report. The number of freedmen, 4,278 is about correct ; 600 of these will pay for what they receive, leaving 3,678 of the destitute and of those working for the Government. But the number of refugees re ported is far below the true number fed. Al. though only 407 of them are receiving rations, the number is probably not far below 2,000, making a total of more than 6,000 people fed. The report shows over 102,000 rations drawn and issued, which is merely a calculation for thirty-One days of the number of people re. ported.' The reports of the chief commissary of the State only shoWabout eighty thousand rations for the month of August. The organization of the militia has created a greater panic among the freedmen than any action of the Federal or late Confederate authorities. It will do more to disturb the relation of the freedmen to the whites of the State than anything which has yet been done. If the militia is organized as foreshadowed by the Governor's proclamation . and endorsed by the President of the United States, in his despatch to the Governor, I have no idea that the freedmen will remain quiet laborers in the cotton-fields. They are excited and partially aroused. They have some idea of what war is. They certainly know all about slavery, and have no idea of returning to any such condition. That collis ions will occur, that a disturbed state of soci ety will be the result, there is no questioth The hope of organizing the labor of the State in such a way that the freedmen will return to the fields and assist in recruiting the agricultural wealth of the State, as foe la borers, seems to vanish with the promulgation of this militia order. When the white people arc properly armed, and the Federal troops withdrawn, the freedmen can be forced to work on the plantations, but not as free labor ers. The members of the late State Conven tion have visited me, and are anxious to have me prepare for them some kind of system for adoption at the meeting of the Legis lature, by which they can take complete charge of freedmen affairs, and do away with the necessity for United States officers. They desire to place the labor system of the State in the hands of their own constituency. I hear of but little trouble between freedmen and their employers. Nearly all the colored peo ple of the State working on plantations have been contracted with and employed, and are anxious to make contracts for the year HA for fear labor will be hard to get at the begin ning of the season. The Freedmen's Bureau. It has been repeatedly stated, in the sena& tion papers, that the Government is about to close up, the Freedmen's Bureau, under Gen. Ho - warm, which is a mistake so gross that it is Marvellous how even the fruitful brains of these inventors of news Could have fabricated it. It is true that incessant efforts have been made on the part of the old slave holders to force precisely inch action, Vitt not only is the President opposed to it, but there is a mandatory law of Congress stand ing !directly in the way, providing for such an organization as now exists, Some modifica tions have already taken place at the solicita tion of the provisional governors ; and the operation is now not only satisfactory to them, but really useful to those who, without such B. system, as that of General HOWARD'S, would be unable to induce the colored people to work for them at all. Regarded from this point of view, the Freedmen's Bureau is bene ficial to the ela,sses that complain of it. It IS the intermediate channel by which to pre serve the rights of these people and to secure to the owners of plantations industrious, re liable and well-paid labor. Freedmen's Affairs in Georgia. . _ A report has also been received from Dr. .1. V. DE KUNZ, chief medical officer of the bu reau in Georgia. FroM it I understand that the freedmen in Augusta are self•sustaining. They not only support themselves, but, In iZd dition, have erected an hospital, which is now and,eontaining about forty patients; an infullutrY for women and a subAtautial hax. rack for the accommodation of those pacising through in search of employment, and freed men driven P rom their homes by their into masters. The freedmen also employ a phyri elan to visit the hospital, and a colored• doe tress to attend to the infirmary. The Freedmen in North Carolina. The Freedmen's Bureau has received an official report from Hr. "LOGAN, Surgeon , in-Chief of the Freecithen's Bureau in North Carolina, He had personally visited and in spected the camps, barracks, hospitals, &c., at Beaufort, New Bern, and Roanoke Island. Thera arc two settlements near Newborn. "Trent Settlement" contains about 5,000 freedmen; is pretty well located across the Trent river from Newbern 5 is built as atom], with streets, &c. There arc only about 1,100 receiving Go vernment rations here. Johnsville, the other settlement, is also located near Newborn, and contains about 2,500 inhabitants about 1,000 receiving rations. On Roanoke Islaati there are about 8,5005 2,200 of whom receive rations, 1,500 of those receiving rations being under fourteen years of age. Near Beaufort there are two mail settlements,namcd respectively New Town and Hammacks, containing from three to five hundred persons. Surgeon 800 AU says that, as a g,eneralthing, the people live in good, comfortable log houses, but a large portion of those residing near Newbernand on Roanoke Island, are suf fering from the various forms of intermittent and remittent fevers. The only medical at tendance the people in the several localities have ever received has been that Casually, but entirely inadequate, supplied by medical officers stationed near by. Four medical offi cers to attend to these people have been tele graphed for, and will be forwarded by the bu re4l.l. OCCASIONAL ALEXANDER. CUMMINGS, the new Governor of Colorado, is here and making arrangements to start for his post. He will be conveyed by the Holladay line from Atchison;' and will probably reach Denver about the middle of October. To-day , s Richmond papers state that on Fri day night last, a woman named isaanx.La. 01:11.1), shot and seriously Wounded a man by the name of Mune. After committing the deed, the would-be-murderess asked the for giveness of her victim, which 'he granted. AtEADE, it seems, had refused to marry her, and she, therefore, determined to take his life., The Alabama Convention. A telegram from Montgomery, Alabama, de nies indignantly the statement in the North ern papers, that the . convention now in ses sion there had decided, by fifty-eight to eigh teen, not to repudiate the rebel State debt. The ordinance abolishing slavery in the State, passed in the convention with but three oppos ing rotes. The ordinance of secession was de elarkd null and void. All looks well. This despatch is signed by JOHN C. Knarna, of Philadelphia, .110 W in Montgomery. It must not be forgotten that LOUTS NAPO LEON has explicitly stated that it was not his intention to maintain his foothold in Mexico. Els whole object was to secure good govern ment for the people, under the rule of Mixt- MILIAN, and then to retire decently and in good order, leaving to that Prince the care of the experiment he has Commenced. It is claimed that the French have com pletely mastered the Juktisz party, and that under the policy of MAXIMILIAN, the native tribes—which are seven out of the eight mil lions and a bait of population in Mexico—will be elevated and represented—that so far as possible there will be no attempt to interfere with their rights. A plan has been adopted by which the old federated system is to be changed, and a close imitation of the French government substituted. Thus, instead of a kind of parody on the American Union, what is called the Republic will be divided into prefec tures or nuallerlsections, each of which iS to be under the control of a governor who is to be subordinate in all things to the Emperor him self. Under the old plan, which took its rise vast districts were Committed to the control of single individuals, each of whom, as soon as he became a chief, began to threaten whoever might be President for the time being, and generally got to war with his rival neigh bor. In this way the whole country hare been kept in continual and bloody confusion for nearly forty years, The French claim that if MAXIMILIAN succeeds in creating and con ducting the Government in Mexico, it will in trke to the eubstantial prosperity of the United States, but that if he should be driven oat, the so-called Republic will be a constant thorn in our side. If we attempt to goVern it in our time, it would undoubtedly prove to be a very large elephant. Further Particulars of the Cholera at Constantinople. On the 14th of August the number of deaths was 1,689, and of attacks, 2,113. This includes the cases in Constantinople and vicinity. During the general and almost universal sus pension of business in Constantinople, not a single ambassador or a consular officer has left his post. The consul says "It gives me great pleasure to be able to say that, while some doctors of the country have deserted their posts of duty during this trying period, some of the American missionaries, supplying their places, have distinguished themselves by their self-sacrificing labors, and that by means of their philanthropic and Christian efforts some lives have been saved. $2,000,105 in fractional currency, and $0,008,080 in certificates of indebtedness were redeemed at the Treasury last week. • Since our last report seventeen national banks have been chartered. The total num ber now doing business is 1,567, with an aggre• gate capital of $338,051,723.50, and circulation of e1eC,C91 3 720. - The Republic bitterly denounces PENDLE TON'S speech ,gt Richmond on Saturday night last.

A man by the name of rEattiteS was aroused from his sleep on Saturday night by an un usual noise. Supposing, of course, that a burglar had entered his dwelling, he reached for his pistol and fired. The shot unfortunate ly took effect in the breast of his wife, who expired almost instantly. The commissioners appointed to treat with the Southern Indian tribes at Fort Smith have concluded their negotiations, and have been uniformly successful. Hen. Charles Gilpin. Hon.

The receipts from this source last week amounted to $6,811,269.58. The proceeds each day were as follows: Monday $1,815,408 61 Tuesday 307,113 62 Wednesday 1,471,453 81 Thursday, 1,112,604 00 Friday 1,199,953 411 Saturday 811,616 76 The total receipts since J .. nly 1,1865, amounted to 114,601,430.32. The ffilif4PCCUt Currency. The Secretary of the Treasury has 'finally decided to issue no more of the old flfty-cent fractional currency, and will shortlyjssue in SllhStitution a new note, somewhat similar, healing the vignette of Hon. F. E. SPINNER, United States Treasurer. The recall of the old issue is in consequence of the alarming extent of counterfeits on that denomination of fractional currency. Interned Revenue DeeisiOn. The Commissioner of Internal Revenue re• ceived a communication on.. Friday last from Mr. E. J. Lownun, President of the Distillers' Association of New York, on the subject of taxation of an article distilled from beer, on which the tax of one dollar per barrel has been paid. It is claimed that this article thus pro duced is exempt from taxation under the law, which provided that alcohol made from mate rials on which a tax has been paid shall be ex empt from taxation. The Commissioner, in reply to Mr. LOWLIER, says: "The dealers in thisjartiele have risk and trouble enough at best, and we must make the most we can of the present law, hoping that tbe next Congress, profiting by the experience of the past three years, will materially prove it. The Brooklyn case, to which you re fer, was brought before me by Mr. Dowers, and has been finally decided. I. do not pro pose to recognize as valid an invention whose Only claim to merit is the alle_gation that it successfully evade§ the law. sty decision 18 based upon two points. First, that the pro duct of Mr. Bowers' still is not alcohol, but high wines, and that it can only be con verted into alcohol by refining, and that such alcohol so produced is not made from spirits on wbich.the duties have been paid; and secondly, that the plain intent of the law is to lay a tax of $2 per proof gallon upon all distilled spirits sold or consumed or used in the manufacture of any other article. Section fifty-five must override the exception to sec tion ninety-six, upon which he relies. To take any other view of the case than this would be, in effect, to nullify the provisions of the, law Governor Cummings. Shooting Case in Richmond. The French in Mexico. Currency Redeemed.

My Associated . Piess.] The Freedmen's Bureau. Colonel SAnfuTt. THOMAS, assistant commis sioner for freedman's affairs, in an official corn munieation, dated Vicksburg, September 11th, 'while giving his returns for August, says "The records in that part of Mississippi are destroyed, and that persons are reluctant to supply the missing information. He states that 115 plantations are Teased in LOUi9iiiina -57 of them by white, and 59 by black men ; also, lie plantations in Misslissippi--113 of them by whites, and 23 byblacks. There are 13,510 acres in 51 plantations .m LOuSifina and Mississip pi, leased to blacks, and ASOD acres inthe'same State in 170 plantations, leased to whites. Al most one-half of the lands imised to whites was abundoned, owing to the overflow of the Mississippi, A tremendous pressure is being brought: to bear by returned citizens Of all classes to get possession of their property, and they are constantly writing to the Presi dent: and the heads of the different bureaus at Washington are filled with all kinds of mis representations, in order to effect their pus poses. The Colonel says no property has, been libel led for Confiscation, and that he has made no attempt to distribute lands in small lots . tO grecs, as he knew it would meet with strong opposition from all parties. ' • It would require. a hero to execute it, and a military force to protect the freedmen during the term of their lease. If, he adds, the militia aro organized as foreshadowed by Governor SuAtiwny's proclamation, mid endorsed by the President, he has no idea that the freedmen will remain Quiet laborers in the cotton fields. They are excited and partially- armed, and the hope of organizing the labor of the State in such a way that the freedmen will return to the fields and recruit the agricultural wealth of the State as free laborers seems to vanish with the promulgation of this militia order: In conclusion, he says he hears of but little trouble between freedmen and theii em ployers. Nearly all the colored people of the State working on plantations have been con tracted with, and employers are anxious to make contracts for the year 186 G, for fear labor will be hard to get at the beginning of the season. - - The Interest on Five•twenty Bonds. Many inquiries have been made why the in terest due on the five-twenty bonds is not an ticipated on registered as well as coupon bonds. The answer is, as ascertained on ap plication at the Treasury Department, that owing to the published regulations the De partment is compelled to keep the books open for transfer of registered bonds until the Ist of October, after which period Considerable labor will be required to make up the neces sary schedules for the payment of the in terest. This will require Certainly to the 15th Of October, and possibly until the soth or 25th of that month. Every effellt Will be made to get the schedules out as soon as possible, and when completed they will be transmitted to the proper officers, with directions to com mence the payment of such interest at once.

New Tenn, Sept. 55.—The Southern Advocate, of September 18, publishes the following ex• tract from a letter of the late President Lin coin to Gen. Wadsworth, who fell in the battle of the Wilderness. The letter, which is of a private character, is to be sent to Gen, Wads worth's family. It shows that Mr. Lincoln desired the bestowal of the elective fran chise upon the blacks, and was also, at an early day, in favor of granting a universal amnesty. Mr. Lincoln says : "You desire to know in the event of our complete success in the Held, the same being followed by a loyal and cheer ful submission on the part of the South, if a universal amnesty shouldnot be accompanied with universal suffrage. Now, since youknew my private inclinations as to what terms should be granted to the South in the eon• tingency mentioned, I will here add that if our success should thus be realized and fol lowed by such desired results, I can't see, if universal amnesty is granted, how, under the circumstances, I can avoid enacting in return universal suffrage, Or at least suffrage on the basis of intelligence and military service. "HON tO better the condition of the colored race has long been a study which has attract. ed my serious and careful attention; and hence I think I am clear and decided as to what course I shall pursue in the premises, regard ing it as a religious duty, as the nation's guar dian of these people who have so heroically vindicated their manhood on the battle-Held, where, in assisting to save the life of the re public, they have demonstrated in blood their right to the ballot, which is but the humane protection of the flag they have so fearlessly defended.” Ji. Propeller Sunk. Ooncwsntuto, N. T., Sept. 2.s.—The propeller Buckeye, of the Northern Transportation Line, left here on Saturday evening with passengers and merchandise for Toledo, when, about four o'clock A. M. on Sunday, she struck a sunken rock, near Cross river light, In the St, Law rence river, a mile above Oak Point, and sunk in seventy feet of water. The passengers were aroused, but hardly had time to realize their peril when the boat slid from the rock and sunk, Three passengers are known to have been lost. They were named Mrs. O'Neill, of Oswego, and Mrs. and Miss Aubrey, of Milwaukee. As the boat went down three men were seen in the water under the stern, and it is feared they were also lost. Not twenty minutes elapsed after the vessel struck before she sunk. The surviving passengers were brought to this city by the steamer Champion, of the royal mail line. The low water and extreme dark ness of the night are the reasons given for the sad accident. New York Polities. NEW TORE, Sept. meeting of State rights men was held at Cooper Institute to day. Thos.

All this could have been prevented by Governor Harris and the leadino rebels of Fast Tennessee, but they were noT, then satisfied there was any wrong in all this, or they were not in loVe with law and order.

There will be no question on either side of the Irish channel of putting down this movement. As a work of mercy it must be done.

The following from the Pittsburg Commercial is of interest. It may, perhaps, give an idea to some of our citizens: As long eV as 1779 there were gTeat oom plaints, - in Pittsburg, of the high prices de- Jimmied for the means of living. The causes were then partly the same as now operate to Produce the same effect. But there were special difficulties then which do not now exist. The supply hf moat and dour WAS limited in a frontier country, and that ha rassed at the time by a powerful and active foe. The principal articles of subsistence were brought on pack horses from the east side of the Allegheny mountains. This, of course, was expensive. But the main reason of bighPriees was the rapacity of the traders, who having the control of the markets, limited their demands only by the suggestions of their covetousness. The officers of the army took the matter in hand. They put the ease in its true light. They did not charge the high Woos wholly upon the depreciation of the currency, but they held that the depreciation was aggravated and in creased by the conduct of the traders monopo lizing the commodities, and then alleging the depreciation of the currency as a reason for high prices. Looking upon. it in this light, they denounced the traders not so much for their individual rapacity as for their hostile influence on the struggling country, by re ducing the money issued in this emergency, for carrying on the war of Independence, be low its :proper value, This is manifestly the tendenag A.t the pre' sent time. The blame is laid upon the cur rency. The charge implies insecurity to the holders of the Government money, and a want of confidence in its ultimate redemp tion. But no such want of confidence exists, and no occasion for it exists. The perpetual and practical assertion of it in the de mand of exorbitant prices, and the con tinued compliance with the demand, may however, breed a want of confidence, andi in traduce the multiplied and ruinous conse quences of such a state of things, We do not attach such a motive to those who keep up the demand for the recognition of depreciation in Government securities, and with them, of the issues of national banks, but such is the ten dency of their action. The remedy adopted by the patriotic officers and soldiers of the army, in Pittsburg, was to stop the trading of those whom they denominated "monopo lizers, forestaller, engrossers or speculators." This they did partly by agreement among themselves not to buy of them, and partly by force preventing them, as public enemies to the cause of the country, from selling. Some remedy seems to be required for the present evil. Combinations of patriotic citizens, both for their own protection and for the protec tion of the currency, might counteract mis chievous combinations against them, The Copperhead the Infidel Party of the Country. We have frequently heretofore insisted that the natural tendency of modern Democracy, or Copperlicadism, was to infidelity. The leading men of the Copperhead organization, by their defence of slavery and sympathy with trep.son against freedom, have aced them selves on the Wawa as the groatautugouists of civilization, All over the world the Cop perheads and slaveholders are regarded as the opponents of the civilized progress of man kind. It now becomes our duty to show from the record that the Copperhead leaders are in fidels ; that they are opposed to prayer, and that they refused, in their official capacity, to recognize the clergy of the State as being fit to mingle their, prayers with the business of The following extract from the Legislative AabU ccord, for 15111, page 12, eStSJM the truth of our assertion: INVITATION TO CLERGYMEN. Mr. Lowiiy. I offer the following resolution : Resolved, That the Speaker be requested to invite the Clergymen of 13nrrisbiwg to open the sessions of the Senate with prayer.

Eight million six hundred acres of coal lields,which make Ali extensive Snrrollttiling near Pittsburg, rate at an average depth OT eight feet, and are estimated to contain 53,516,430,000 tons of coal, which, at two dollars per ton, would be worth $107032,800,000 or four thousand millions of national debt paid twenty-seven times, or a thollSand years' gold and silver product of California and Ne vada, supposing their yield to be one hundred millions every year. This is plausibly quoted as a fact in itself of great encouragement. Add to the sum given, gold, silver, iron, cop per, lead, petroleum, ite.; by the Saille. pro. cess of eduction, and it would be vain to calculate the result. In the same way our grain resources or manufactures would out value, in the long run, the largest product of gold or silver, These are our resources, but they are still only resources Proportionably as they were a hundred years ago. What is done (comprehending what is invented) is our grand wealth ; so that our first desideratum is labor, and not the coal mines. It is this we need to make what we have apparent, WO may work our mines, and pay our debt in the same way—by a wise economy of finance tend ing to make bread and butter cheap,and to in vite population. It would be the height of absurdity to lay back on our dumb resources. Our business is to work all our Mines and pay all our debts as soon as possible, Out great mine is human labor. Newspaper OWees.

Love, arrested in Chicago a few days ago on a charge of stealing GOvernment bonds, turns out to be a detectiye officer ; and in the of the legal proecedinga . 011 Wepo day, a lively scene occurred in court, sp. pears that Love waited upon a lawyer named Samuel M. Felker, in Chicago, and offered him a number of bonds, purporting to have been stolen in thew York. Folker, getting into 4013.- ildential relations with Latle, confessed to hint that he had " $.5,000 of bonds which the York boys had made," but subsequently caused the arrest of Love. A package left 'by Love was opened in court, and found to con tain, instead of stolen belltiO, one h undred and nine large-sized , enVelOpes, th is flags of the proCeedings Felker was arreste d the courteroom, whither lie had been summon ed as a witness, on a requisition from the . Go vernor of Ohio ; the charge being that of grand l arceny, The 2W:5'1010 Sags t " The seeue that ensued. was one to which na description can do justice. Felker seemed ae if be intended to pay no attention to the ar rest, but; recovering himself, handed over his pocket-book with some apers to his brother. The movement wits witn p essed by Allen Pink erton, chief of the Pinkerten, Doteetive Amin. cy, and he, regarding the attempt asap unWer ranted one, struck the wrist of the receiver, and the property fell on the floor. Theft on. sued a tight, but the reporters, being ,behind the table, while the affray took place near the door, could hat tell what hien wore steam. However, in the melee, the pockets of M r. Pinkerton were also emptied of five Milted States bonds, two of which were for $l,OOO each, two for $lOO each, and one for $5O. They were picked up from the floor subsequently, and handed to the owner at the end of the Mess. Kenny had held of Felker, lnit the latter dee murrecl to accompanying his captor, The Justiceboing app ealed to, decided that Folker, could not be t aken from the room so long as there was a probability of his being wanted as a 'witness. With this Kenny Was satistied, and the trial was ordered to proceed, "The counsel for the defence then called on Mr. Pinkerton, who testified : "Felker looked at the witness and said You 910 thief, you.' Mr, Pinkerton moved forward to resent insult, but Wlo PreVent a ed by the crowd, and in the sou die several more blows were struck. Mr. Pinkerton then seized an inkstand from the table, but did not, throe: it. He, however, succeeded in spilling the ink liberally arololo...tho coat or Arr. fife vey being Well spotted , The Justice instantly ordered Felker under arrest, and he was Con veyed to the central station and looked up. Mr. Pinkerton then apologized to the eourt . for the trouble which had been occasioned, and was assured that the court had no desire to as sees a fine under the eiNeumstancee, "Mr. Jones here said that they nee nothing further to urge, and withdrew the proseen ton. The prisoner, Love, therefore stood quitted. „ The exaillination concluded, the. detectives waited on Felkiar from the eentral.statleti to the depot of the Pittsburg and Fort Wayne Railroad, where he was placed and, board the train and ironed hand and foot.
