The other testimony, although circumstan tial, is of such a nature as to leave scarcely a doubt of the guilt of 'the htisband, Lewis Lane. The jury rdasAmbled at the office of Alderman Lindsay, of the Sixth ward; at 4 o'clock r. at.' Assistant District Attor ney Riddell conducted the examination of witnesses. The following testimony was adduced: .Fteming ,Keitacy, sworn—Live in Sixth ward; am a shoemaker; know Lewis Lane and wife; live in the Same building with me. On Thursday ,of last week Mrs. Lane was taken sick with vomiting; saw_ her be fore dinner on Thursday; my wife , was in there; Mrs. Lane said she felt very bad, and she wanted water all the time; she com plained that her stomach was burning; did not see her afterwards till she was dead; on Friday, beibie the died,Lane locked the door to prevent people from going in. When she was sick she Wanted a doctor. Lane refdsed to send for ono. She said two or three times she believed Lano had given her something. „Lane worked at Barker's, on Smithfield street. [Record produced by Alderman Lindsay, showing that Lane and deceased were married April 3d, 18417.1 By a juror—Wednesday night Lane earne home with some whisky. Thursday about noon Mrs. Lang Was taken with vom iting. • Dr. G. IL McNary, sworn—Am aprac ticing physician; my ofiLiice is on Wylie street, Sixth wardf hear d of • the death of ,Dirs. Lane, Saturday morning, Nay 9th; I 'took 'her' stomach out;- the - deceased was ancientg I put the stomach in possession of Dr. Black, and he gave it to Acting Coroner Butler; the body was. et warm when I first examined it; Dr. Black assisted me in tak ing out, the stomach; I.deteeted a slight tint of red in the stomach"; did not notice any other peculiarity; did not notice any sign of injury on the body; there were no exter nal indications of. poison at the time I ex amined the body. Dr. Ater. Biack, sworn—Assisted Dr. McNary in taking out the stomach; noticed I the red streak mentioned by Dr. McNaryri this,wa,s the only peculiarity I noticed; on Saturday' morning Lane came rafter me; told me his wife was dead;' insisted' on rub going up; he said there was some talk, and he would like me to, examine , the body; I took the stomach down to Alderman But ler's-office and delivered. it to Win in per son. , Alderman J. A. Butler sworn—Am act ing as Coroner in this case; Dr. Black brougkt the _stomach to me, and it was not out of my sight until Isdelivered it to Prof. Wuth. Wm. More sworn—Am a police officer; took Lewis Lane down to jail; after I left the house he took a carpet sack, which he said contained old clothes. He wanted to go around by Seventh street. I declined to go that way. He then wanted to go to a tavern to get a drink; I refused to let him; took him to jail and delivered him to As sistant Jailor Smith; Smith said to the prisoner "we will have to search you." At that time I was looking at the commit ment; just then I heard something strike the grate; I looked and saw a liquid sub-' stance running down the back of the grate; asked Lane what it was; he said it was mni3dicine; I took a piece of paper and gath ered it up; some fragments of the bottle adhered to it. I gave Mr. Smith a portion of it to keep and the remainder I brought to Alderman Butler's office. I showed it to Alderman Butlei and some others, and then locked it up in a drawer; did not see it again. ' - Alderman Batter recalled—l took out the same powder that Mr. Shore put in the drawer, and took it to Professor Wuth. Professor Ofto it'uth, sworn—Am a che mist; have been in the business since 1851; was employed in the Grinder case. Was called "on by Alderman Butler and ex- Mayor Lowry on Monday afternoon at my office, corner of Third mid Smithfield streets; Alderman Butler handed me a stone jar, tied up with white cloth; he said it contained the stomach of a woman sup. posed to have been poisoned; asked me to examine it as a chemist. He also handed me a package in, an envelope, containing some powder and some pieces of glass, which he thought it best to have examined also. This morning Alderman Butler and °dicer Shore called on me again; he handed me three small bottles and two large ones; one of the large bottles* had a white sedi ment on the bottom; one bottle I have not yet examined. The three small bottles contained SulphuratePotaasium, The aedi meat on the bottom of the large bottle proved to be Arsenious Acid in solu tion, but not all dissolved. Ana lyze-it the ctintentirof tli6 atiinituiEl' the sto mach was tied up at both ends; it weighed fourteen ounces with contents. Opened the' stomach and found it very' much inflamed; the mucous membrane in ono part of the stomach was congested. I have every rea son to believe that a metalle poison was used. I took eight ounces to examine for inorganic poison; kept the remainder to examine for organic poison, if necessary. ;Those eight optipes.proved‘to (*Main 4.061 grains of Arsenious .Acid, which would give to the whole stomach 5.862 grains of Arse nious Acid. I have separated it from the stomach by .the most approved method, and with the greatest care; the method is that of Professor Fresenius, of Germany. Zwaigheditin shape of. Bulphunte of Ar senic. Apart of the liqaid of the stomach. after I had destroyed the organic matter, I tested by Marsh's process. Found arsenic. The concave part of the vial that was handed.Me by Alderman Butler,--was coat ed with a substance which I found to be ar sonic. The powder that was mixed with the broken glass was arsenious acid. The quantity, of arsenic I found mixed with the broken lass was fourteen grains. There was arsenic enough in the stom ach to produce death. Two graini will cause death in ordinary cases, according to ,meAlicattruthoritics. , .

OFER;t - Hotrsz...-Thne Witl3,-under a more Uopular .management, or before Man ager Hendexamretired from the control of the present one, when the Saturday Sht, .bouses at this place of amusement were , invariably bumpers to the treasury. But not eyen the attraction of a few ver good dancers was able to draw even alai and, ience to the Opera House last tiLliurday , night. The gallery Was packed fdll of a noisy rabble of half-growe boys, with a frea sprinkling. of Africans, but other pertions of the auditorium were about one-third fill ed with yeung men,; among whom, 'seated here and there were to be seen eleven fe males. < The exhibition of dancing compris ed all the attraction of .the evening, ankwas threaded onto a Miserably wretchedlibrette without paint or substance, entitled the "Ice Witch,". in which portion of thel: a gular stock company took part. Theda ncing was of that extreme character which used the young men in. ..the audieneato'ditide their observation about equally between the spectacle on the stage and the eleven females aforesaid, two or three of whom, failing in nerve enough to face the revela tions Of the ballet or the prurient curiosity with whichthe male spectators were con tinually leering in their faces, beat a hasty and disorderly retreat from the scene mid way in the evening. It is useless to state the particular nature of the artistic demon strations which elicited the loudest uproar from the circle of immature depravity in the galleries. We may be content with expressing on that point our surprise not that some of the female spectators broke ranks and retreated in con usion, but that all of the eleven did not fly from the field. As for the acting, there was very little of it, and that little was, of such a character that still less would have been an improvement. No management which had a respect for the people of this city, or oven for the proprietiei which were due to some .Of the people who were scattered among the audience below, would ever have dared to Insult them by suffering.= actor to appear who was too drunk for dis tinct articulation, or to walk straight over the boards, nor could any audiencabe sur prised that the management, which per mitted this, should have quietly looked on while a play indifferent- at best was made offensively a farce by vulgar "gags," tipsy incoherency, the boisterous merriment of the wings, and the derision of the spectators. The character of Harold (Rites) was respectably sustained,, while that of Finna (Mrs. Bates) presented the most prominently redeeming feature of the play. None but those who were present can appreciate the pain of the position into which this lady was thrown by the circum stances of theevening, and we congratulate her upon the courage, the fidelity and the evidently protesting indignation with which she encountered so much that was disa greeable. For the rest, it was the only pleasure of the critic to observe that the concern was evidently on its. last legs, and most :unsteady i bnes at that, in the ap proaching termination of a season which has, it is presumed, been , equally profitable to thetnanagement and to the much-endur ing people of this city. PITTSBURG/I THEATIIE.—A. correspond. ent finds fault with our speaking in terms of praise of this place of amusement, while deprecating the managetnent'of the Opera House. Our readers all "understand that there should be a line of difference •drawn," and that the former pretentious establishment should be the first class place of, amusement. Unfortunately, however; the Opera House has sunk below the level of a second class place, and in the race with the Pittsburgh Theatre -is worsted. When we award_ the just praise due the "Old Drury" management wo have In view the line of . performances which. charcterizes the boards there and with which our readers are sufficiently ac quainted; but should we praise thti Opera House, which shoots high and strikes low, we would then, possibly, be inviting ladles to go whore they would be as sadly disap pointed and shOcked as if they visited a night performance at any other place of amusement in the 'city. If there is any marked difference between the two houses the Pittsburgh Theater has the.advantage in every point of view. The bill for this evening is very good and will doubtless crowd the house, as it was on Saturday night, almost to suffocation. BUENELL's MUSEL - 31 is open day and night.

Times' dispatch of the 14th says : Tbi movement to present Chief Jus tice Chase to the National Democratic Con vention is becoming more and more tangi ble every day. Mr. Welch, one of ; the proprietors of the Philadelphia Aye, and a delegate to the Convention and Mr. Fra zer, the Assessor of Internal Revenue of the First Pennsylvania District, are in town to-day, and avow that the movement is an earnest one, and Will be pushed through to success. ; A dispatch to the Philadelphia Buktfit says: Within a day or, two the draft of a proposed. Democratic platforrii has been submitted to both Chase and Andy Johnson and received approval by both, the former making a few verbal alterations. It in dulges in some generalities about slavery as no longer a living issue' ' and in a vague sort of a way endorses the Wade Hampton pre tence of equal franchise based on educa tion and property for all newly-made citi gen.& The rest of the draft denounces the reconstruction policy of Congress, leans strongly against protection, denounces high taxation, and demands universal amnesty. The Washington Chronicle of the 14th says: "Having.tailed to-secure a nomination for President over Mr. Lincoln in 1884, it is well known that Secretary Chase endeavored after the Baltimore Convention had placed its candidate In the field, to organize a new movement to divide the party. Failing in this, he reluctantly retired to the Supreme Bench;. where he has considered himself politically shelved, and with restless ambi tion has constantly manceuvred to get the Presidency. An eminentpolitician well acquainted with the purposes of pro minent men in Washington, announced, six months ago, that there were to be three candidates for the Presidency, of whom Chase and Grant would be two, with a view of throw ing the election into Congress, out of which the Chief Justice expected to come triumph ant. We expect this is a true indication of the ultimate purposes of the Chief Justice, who has resorted to an extraordinary amount of dinner diplomacy, and long drives with doubtful Senators, to defeat impeichment. It is about time his long career of treachery to the Republican party was exposed. No body, of course, doubts that he and Andrew Johnson long ago conspired together to save, the life of Jeff. Davis; and that this leading traitor would have been tried, convicted, and punished long.ago, had an honest judge performed his duty and an honest Executive enforced the law. Of one of the parties to this intrigue, the Philadelphia North American says : Some persons mistook the mere talking ability of these men for actual public capac ity. But when their leader, Fessenden, was made Secretary of the Treasury, his utter Was so of; evident to himself and everybody else, that 'he- volun tarily resigned., He bad not an, ideri of management. He could suggest no practi cal remedies for financial evils. He had no mental resources but for' talking and•grum bling at what other' men did. The Philadelphia Bulletin remarks : Among the remarkable announcements of the last day or two. is one telegraphed on from Washington that the traitor Senators left the Senate after its adjournment on Monday, and went in. a body to dine with Mr. Cnase, there to lay the foundation of a new party,. of which;Mr. Chase was to be the leader and the prospective President of the country. Whether this statement is true we do not know, and care very little. It is sufficient that the conduct of all the parties implicated, Messrs. Chase, Fessenden, Trumbull, Hen derson, Grimes, &c., has been such as to render it possible for such stories to gainbe lief. But the point that is most striking in the whole matter, and which induces us to refer to it here, is the utter infatuation of the parties concerned. These men, after hav ing appeared, dressed time a little brief au. thbrity for a certain time before the public, come to think that they are great powers in the State, fitted both to sway public opinion and to make It. In this lies the conspicuous absurdity of their present conduct. As to the idea of those men swaying opin ion, founding new parties and controlling ideas, they might just as well' attempt to control the wind, and order it to blow North or South. The governing political element in this country is now the Republican party. That party has a definite policy, and when those persons whom that party has placed in power see fit to sell themselves for place or still worse for money, the party that elected them will cast them out with scorn and tle rision. -It is absolutely ludicrous to see these men fancying that they can divide or reorganize a great party; one would suppose that the ftitile attempts of -. such other rene gades as Johnson, Doolittle, Dixon and Cowan would have sufficiently indicated the fate that awaits new apostates. • A special to the Chicago Republican, dated May Vith, makes the, following remarkable statements: There have been .startling development§ here to-day; which show conclusively that there has been a regular conspiracy on the part of Chief Justice Chase and renegade. Republican Senators to defeatthe impeach ment and elevate the former to the Prefi dency at the cost of breaking up the Repub lican party. Night before last, Chief Justice Chase in vited Hon. H. S. Bundy, member of the 39th Congress from Ohio, to call upon him and stated he had some important matters to talk about. , Mr. Bundy having long shared the confidence of the .lief Justice, and being heretofore his firm supixnter and personal i friend, accepted the nvitation. ~ . , During the interview, Mr. Chase told Mr.. Bundy that it was his intention to become a candidate for the Presidency on the Demo cratic ticket, and not succeeding in this, he should enter the arena as an independent candidate against General Grant. Of his own success,,, ho said; .there; Could be no doubt, The impeachment would fail, and thus failing, would divide the Republican party, and that statesmen like Trumbull; Fessenden, Henderson,Grimes and Fowler would be recognized asead of one division of,the .Bepublicrin party;,, and these five men, lie said, had pledged themselVes, ten days ago, that .they would stand by and support him in this movement. The Chief Justice gave Mr, Bundy hie' , views in fhll on this movement, speaking very confidently as to - its success, and predicting the 'down _„..,.,, —,,..., „, ~ falrerßadleallem as represented by the ad- vodka of rinfierichnient %'I '..- • - t This treason on the part of-the Chief Jus tice eb - astonished Mri 'Bandy, that he at once communicated what had been said to' leading Radicals here: 1 A special to the New:York Times says,; The The nipSt astounding politicalintrigue `evei known tb , diepOlitice &this country is now on , foot among prominent politiciana end office-1101m in this city and elsewhere.

Senator Henderson ‘ l last nigh stated this agreement to be a fact, and it i believed by shrewd judges to be one of th principal- elements whereby •stalicien strength and power may be given to Mr Chase's party to make it formidable, midi; throw the Presidential election into th House of Representatives, if not to elect it candidate before the people. This move 'Went expects to be able to defeat *nen Giant by arraying . itself against the extrem. *Real element in the- Republican party Which, it is believed, will be his main sup *mt.

It -is not believed hi Would accept a Demoeratic nomina tidn but the . fact, that Mr. Voorheei anti many other prominent Democrats opeh , IY advocate his nomination, is conclusivr Obit a strong Democratic support is at hii egfrimand. Mr. Chase is unreserved in hii exivressions of contempt for General Gran{ as.` 'a political leader, and for the impeach{ merit movement, and bewails what he term. thri tendency of the party to take up with small men, and says the party has surrenj dei!ed to eneral Grant.

Hencei the - latter is wilting, if acquitted, to rewar( Mr. Chase by throwing the influence of thi: A' m inistration iii his favor.
