LOCAL INTELLIGENCE. Taz Peace Scuoors —Between six and seven handred y dressed. intelitgent-looking, little boys and gicls, the pupils of the Second Dis- trict Schools, were gathered in the Smithsonian Lecture Room yesterday afternoon, to receive the premiums to be awarded to those school. Over the platform waved the beantiful silken banners borne in procession by the pupils on their way to the Instiution; and piled up in view of the andience were ten brown paper packages, con- taining the nice books presently to be delivered, and each ‘kage was surmounted by a red-rib- jestd medal aad diplomas. Prayer was made by Rev. Mr. Samson of the F. street ee ;, Which was followed by an impressive address by Rev. Dr Dogrett in which he dwelt apon the necessity of education to enable man to accomplish his divine destiny ; not — to advance t ty local interests of the individual. but to qualify him for every one of the wide relations in Which he stands toward his God and bis fellow man. Their school train- ing, he warned his hearers, only laid the founda- thon for a life-time education. “But if school ed- neation does not give the student all the treasures of the temple of science, it places in his hands the golden key to get access tothem. The prin- cipal object of education was to discipline the mind and induce a capability of fixing it with jong patient aitention upon any ui subject. Hdneation, he reminded them, was nota bless- sng unless guided by correct moral principles. ‘he progress of the public schools of Wash- sagton from their feeble start in 1502, until now, when there are some 3.400 pupils tanght at an an- nual expenditure of at least $25,000, was noted by the speaker, and a most hopeful augury for the futare drawn therefrom. Before concluding his address to the pu De D enjoined ype them to remember that tear of the Lord Is the beginning of wisdom ‘Phe Rey. <peaker then addressed the teachers upon the nature of their duties. Theirs was, in- deed. a diffieult, laborious, and thankless task, hut ne occupation was more honorable or merito- noas than that of the teacher. He spoke of the saecess of their labors as evineed in the perform- sauces of the pupils; and. in conclusion, conzrat- ulated the trustees upon the satisfactory returns Teceived inthe same manner. for the time, labor, und money devoted by them to their duties. ‘The premiums were then delivered, as sub- joined, by Rev.

A Mopet CarktaGe.—Our friend, Andrew Joyee, has for sale, at his coach factory show- rooms, the handsomest and completest vehicle and double harness for a gentleman iring a fight dashing turnout, we ever saw. It is the property of a genileman in a neighboring city. Amateurs and connoiseurs in such th ngs id Gell and take a look at it, Rowland, Jaiues | Criminat Cournt.—Tria! of the Election Riot- sts —In omt necessarily brief uotice yesterday of the opening address of Mr Bradley to the jury, we indicated the line of defence assumed Mr. Bradley went on to say that, in the history of the cotntry, he knew of no event of more ab- sorbing interest then that now before the court. He hed diligently inquired into the incidents of this affair, and it would be impossible for him to convey to the minds of the jury the impressions upon his own mind. It was the first time in the history of this country when the U. 8. marines had been called out to quell a disturbance at an election ; he hoped it would be the last. ‘The defence in the case is, first; that there was no riot at the polls of the Fourth Ward, but a sudden affiay sprung up unexpectedly, in which two great political parties were concerned, pro- ceeding from accidental causes, and ¢ onsequently there was no riot; that after it was quelled, the voting was resumed and continued for four hours, until one man attempted to vote upon a dead man’s papers; while the horizon is clear, the arm- ed forces of the United States are brought up there to nh 7 tat a riot. Peace, quiet, regular order prevailing, armed forces are brought up to quella riot; as to the atfray inthe morning it was sought and brought about by the Executive of this city. If there was a riot. the defendants were acting on the defensive ; he would show that the Mayor was informed that the parties were com- ing on to interfere with the election one week previous to the election, and that when he was told about it, he replied that he knew all about it, and would have the police at the Depot to ar- rest them as they came in; he would show that only a portion of the police was at the Depot to arrest them: the police knew of the arrival of the parties, and made noetfort to arrest them. Where was the Auxiliary Guard then, when they should have been on the ground? They were kept back purposely that there might be occasion to call out the marines! He would show that the first viotence offered was by Capt. Goddard; that the first pistol fired was by ot. Baygott. The affray fasted three minutes at the outside, and it was allover. Capt. Goddard pas: away and met the Mayor and Capt. Mile and got in the carriage and rode up to the pells, and there found the voting going on in quietly. It was a preconcerted thing on the part of the Mayor and the Captain of the Po- lice. Two citizens of Washington went to the Mayor and asked for additional police force for the Second Ward, and found him engaged in making out the applicatien for a file of rines. Meanwhile the captain of the marines was or- dered to yct his men ready foraction. Offerswere made to the Mayor frota © ns to volunteer and go to the protection of the citizens. ‘They were Fetwsed. Tie p'an of the Mayor was well formed and carried int deadly execution. He marches his force to the corner of I and Seventh street. He demands that the f be opened. ‘The reply is, ** Withdraw your marines and we willdoso.”? He would show that not a weapon was dis- charged by the alleged rioters until after the gun ptured; that an American had been pre- viously shot down by the marines. fle alluded to Wells, w ng t bly on a beach in the market-house n he re- ceived the fatal musket ball in his breast. if he (Bradley) had been there at the time and had been armed,so help him God, he would have shot down the coward who did the deed. He should prove that the order to fire was given by the captain of the Marines, by the Lieutenant, and by the Mayor mself. Vi this was the case, if was one alled fur the strict and blenching investiz: n,and rigid action, of the le of this community. Lf these facts were so, aud he expected to prove thein so, then the Mayor, as Well as the officers of the marines, were guilty of murder. ‘There is no law which anthorized the calling ont of the United $ marines ou that oc t, it was mur- der to shoot y. The only exe ilitary is torepel soldiers he must, by his proclamation, put the citizens on their guard. [tis unlawful to call out the military until all the ordinary means have been exhausted. ‘The Mayor bad forty-six police Otficers under his coutrol, with full ertoswear in a3 many more extra force as he might think proper; he had the Marshal of the District by his side, with full power t@& summon as many méenas he might think proper; that he could have sum- moned, if he had chosen, the whole posse comi- tatus to his aid. Mr. B. recapitulated the points which the defence expected to prove—tirst, that there was no riot; and second, if there was a riot it was preconcerted and biought about by the au- thorities of this city. Mr. aered went on to say that the defence ap- peared in this case under peculiar circumstances; that himself had been slandered by the commn- nity; that not a word of trath was contained in the various accounts given by the newspapers of the city. A voice—Thiat is false ! Mr. Bradley—turning toa reporter (Mr. Hardy) at the Clerk’s desk—I hear that man’s voice giv- ing me the lie. 1 call your honors atiention to it. Mr. Radclitte—I think the gentleman is imis- taken. The reporter did not say a word. Mr. Bradley—I heard him with my own ears. ‘The Reporter (to the Court)—1 did not utter a word. Mr. Bradley—I saw and heard you. ‘The Reporter—I say that that is false. Here there was a sensation inthe court, and the Judge called Mr. Bradley to order. In a few minutes Mr. Bradley went on to say that statements had been published in the papers of this city, in which the facts had beeu sup- pressed and hushed up He alluded to the re- port of the Gr: Jury, with which every man in the community was familiar. He said that every man ou that Grand Jury was politically opposed e parties who stood indicted before the court, e Court held that the gentleman was out of order; that it was not proper to impute such mo- tives to the Grand Jury Mr. B. went on to say that, unless the jary were superhuman, they coul not come into the without believing in their minds that there a riot, that the parties now up for trial were ticipant: riot, and consequently gulity; they had heard one side of the case only. If the court had not prolibited Lim from making the remarks, he should have called the attention of the jury to the repoit of the grand jury, which was published in the newspapers of Ui y Would call their attention to statements made in the papers, in which facts which were m to the fair investigation of the riots we cealed; and whieh statements were calcul fe spok } by the anarines from the alleged rioters, ait sta- ted that it had been spiked weeks before the election, and was spiked when on the ground of the cannon which had been captu that day. This fact Le expected to show by the mouths of credible witnesses. The public prints of this Distriet had made statements in relation to the alleged riots, which tended to prejudice and affeet the fairness of the investigation. ‘The whole thing was a well-directed stab at the American party, and had been previously con- cocted for such purpose. Mr. Radelitfe arose and said that he appeared for Charles Hurdie. He wenton to state his position in relation to the defence; it was, he said, a deli- cate and novel one, but that be held to the opinion that a lawyer who not the moral co: distinguish between ss 3 his duty to his client ws undit for the profess: belonged. Hestood there to perforin y; the duty which e nsel owes ~ He called the at ofthe jury of defence, Which was that his client Was not present on the occasion of the late rivts ; and if he was there he not a part the disgraceful scenes which characterized that bloody day. He should not attempt to ht or won 1 professiouai pe it; to that his point, and fene he should confine his invest stiletly, and n p with the Bx tive at all is tter of the investigation. Ilis de- was first. that his client Was not present at f the riets; and secondly, that if he as no participator in Ghose dire events we question of fet, whethe: Uaere Was a riot or . belonged to the Court; the jury was to try the fact’ “Mr. R. went ou'to explain what con- stitutes a riot, and asked the juiy to forget the surroundings of the case and contine themselves question of guilty, or not guilty. ton said that he appeared there for for Mr. Cha. es Spencer. He should take the ground of defence assuined by Mr. B., and which he had just now explained to the jury; that of whether there was a riot, and if there was, by whom caused; another point was, whether his client was a participator in said riot or not; he expected to show that his client was only there as @ spectator, and that while ke was looking quietly on be was struck by a musket ball and severely wounded ; he should prove that his client was a man of high character and unimpeachable deport- Ment. He closed, and Mr. Key, for the prosecution, ealled— John H. Goddard, sworn,—ile testified that he Was present at the polls on the morning of the riots, quite carly; the polls were opened shortly after his arrival; he was there up to half past $ or Yorclock in the morning; the polls were opened when he first went to the spot, and persens were voting slowly; the tax clerk was not present then, but shortly afterwards arrived; the voting eontin- ued slowly and regularly till the tax clerk came up, and then voters began to increase about the ils; it was about balf pasts o'clock in the morn- Pe , When a body of men arrived on the ground, Plag Ugties; they eame in a body, twoand two, an ited a little to the south of the polls; some friends of w t -ess called Lis attention to the fact, and they, after wining there a few min- utes, Went uj above the polls some distance, and out of the sizlt of witness; the line of voters in- creased, and extended froia the barricade, at the window, up toward the corner of Seventh street and Massachusetts avenue; persons were now voting pretty fast; the party of Plug Uglies in about twenty minutes returned, increased to about twice their original number; there must ha been about eighteen or twenty of them at fir these strangers witness how noticed many citizens of Washington; they came down in a body, and divided off when they arrived at the polls, partof them yoiug in between the voters and the window, ‘and part remaining outside of the line, and ranged along the line of the street, a short distance from the line; at that time Mess Berry and Marshall Brown came up the street i « bugzy. and, seeing bim. they farted in Uh street and beckoned to witness, asking bim bow the voting was going on; witness told them to go and tell the Mayor to send as many police as he could spare, as a gang of Plug Uglits was there, and be anticipated an attack from them; They rode off, and tie crowd now increased in numbers, and the disturbance began; the crowd using violence, and seeming to betray a disposi- tion to attack the voters; witness announced that he was a justice of the peace, and ordered them to be quiet A cry of fight was raised in the street; witness went around and endeavored to re- monstrate with them. telling them that he was an officer, and requesting them to be quiet. Witness saw stones thrown, and summoned two other offi- cers to go and see who threw them, remonstrated with them, went and endeavored to restore the Peace among them; witness knew some of them, and some he did not know; they threatened that they intended to break up the voting, and that they shoniddoso. They swore that they would drive the voters away from the polls, and used vi- olent threats and other means to intimidate the voters; witness avain endeavored to remonstrate With them, speaking to some of them wh m he knew, among them was A. Eggleston, and young Wm. Sibley; witness thought that there were several more among them that he knew; most of the threats were. used by the Plug Uglies from Baltimore. Witness spoke to several officers to xo and stop the throwing of stones; saw num- bers of stones fiying throngh the air.’ A few mo- ments passed, when a voice remarked, * let’s go into them, we have stood it long enough.” witness could not say who this was; they ail made remarks in connection with the tirst voice that it was time to go in, and finally they made a move in a body down towards the line of voters; they were about one third of the way across the street; witness was between them and the line, and backed down to the line in front of and fac- ing them: he told them that he was a Justice of the Peace, and demanded the peace; one man made a lunge against a man in the line of voters ; ue voter braced himself up to resist the attack; the person who made the lunge drew back and fe, he has a knife;” said, ‘he (the voter) basa kni Witness looked around and saw no knife inthe hands of the ed attacked; this act seemed to be the signal of attack; then it ageneral on- slanght; the parties came in wit stones, pistols and clubs, which they used frequently, firing shots, throwing stones, knocking down voters, who were thus put to flight; “a portion of them remained within the crib or barricade at the polls; these were attacked, and had to defend themselves by taking shelter behind the barri- eades, and crouching down to the g ness went out into the street, and se Was no chance to accomplish towards the corner of man caught witness by the waist and Was Witness’s friend, that he would be staid there, and pulled witness away from the lace; he went towards the corner of Seventh and streets, and there saw Mr. Emery coming over towards him; they both walked down the strect together, and talked about the riot whieh had just taken. place: witness parted from Mr. E yat the corner of F and Seventh streets, and ued on towards the City Hall; near the corner of Seventh and E, streets witness met the Mayor and Captain of the Auxiliary Guaid ina barouche going up towards the poll hey seeing Witness stopped, and witness related to them what had ral witness got into the ear- riage with them and weut back to the polls; they were closed; the judges were not there; part of the fence or barricade ten knocke ot the men , ay who they ed with the nized in the crowd were y and Win.

Witness proceeded down towards the corner of | street, where he met the Mayor, and informed him that the polis were closed. ‘Ihe Mayor asked who closed them; Wm. B. Wilson was standing near by and said that le was one of the parties who had closed them, aud that they should not be opened agai ntil the Marines were taken away. Many persons in the crowd taunted the Marines and insulted the olticers of the city. ‘The crowd had now become four times as large as it was in the morning; they abused the Mayor, and insulted the ollicers and soldieis, and everybody who were disposed to be orderly. 1 a wentup tothe polls and knocked on the board shutter and @e- nded thatthey be opened. ‘ihe crowd outside re yell swearing that they should not be 1; voices ciind out. © drive him otf The Mayor turned around and endeavored to addi@ss ihe mob, but they drowned bis voice with hoots and yells; finaily finding impossible to inake thei hear hing ke did say, he went out into the street. In a minute or two, witness saw a mpan named Merrill bave the M r r by the arm; witness muppet that he was in friendly conver- sation with him, the Mayor turned, and went with them, walking back up the street towards the “annon; witness followed and a dense crowd was surrounding the cannon, and Mr. Richard Wal- jach was addressing the mob; witness coald not hear aword he said, bet supposed that he was trying to pursuade them to take the gun away; here the Mave: ‘ain altempted to address the mob, but they would not hear him. At that time, Mr. Carlisle said to the Mayor, ++ the sooner you have that gun taken the better. ‘The Mayor started off towards the Marines, who came up Seventh street on the east side, and haited oppo- site the Witness remarked to a friend who was standing by his side, that they had better the inove away from there, as he was afraid that there would be something serious done, and he did not wish to be between two fires; witness started otf to cross the street, and get in rear of the parties, when the i ps 's stationed about the m towards the M ‘i t little south et and the opening betw the sheds ket house. zing on Seventh street, and pointing down towaids the pol This was about half-past one o'clock, p.m. A great many stones were thrown by pi around the caunouand close by it.

G. Wilson was stamiing on a platform over the window of the polls, saying many vio- Jent things and swearing by his Maker that the polls should not be opened till the marines were o.dered away. Mr. Key here said that he was done with the witness, and Mr. Bradley proposed in the cross- examination to ask the witness what time of day he knew that the Plug Uglies were in W: hing- ton. Mr. Key objected to the question: and after the point had been discussed at great length on both sides, the question was raled oat by the Court. it was now half past three o'clock, and the Court adjourned to ten o'clock to-day. ‘This morning theexamination of John H. God- dard was resumed. Cross-examined —The party of persons that caine on the ground witness was told were Plug Ugties; some person said “the Plags ore on the ground;"’ wituess remarked, ‘+I see they are.” and Witness supposed they had come to make tack on the voters; witness was a polices magis- trate at the tite; witness first became acquainted with their presence in Washington that morning between 6 and 7 o'clock; saw in going to wateh- house to try a case there a number of person: sit Ung around the restaurant at the corner or Sev- enth and E streets, aud a person told witness they were a part of the Pl Uglies that had come; witness went to watch got through Jus' had been dis- his business. went home, and saw nothing more of them till he saw them at tie polis, between 5 and 9 o'clock that morning; Tecognized some of thein as a part of the barty he saw at the restau- rant; witness posed the object for which they came; it was twenty minutes after they first came to the polls and left that they retutned knows the names of some of the police who were there; the chief of ie was there; did not ex- | change a word with him. One of the police first drew witness’ attention to the fact that the Pings were there; there were six, seven, or eight of t police there; does not remember exactly how many; E and Jamies A. Esquire Donn was there; Kennedy aiso, who was a county justice. Wit- ness had no other reason to supfiose that there would be an attack on the te than his own judgment and knowledge of the character of per- sons there; witness thought it very necessary to have more police there; does not know of hisown knowledge whether the police were around; only pistol he saw was in the hands of Capt. Bagyott; witness had no weapon, srg apenknife. The voting went on quietly until the Plugs returned; saw no person interfere with the Plugs, or speak an angry word to one of them; saw no weapons then, and saw no violence used against them; | When witness returned to the polls the judges were not there; everything was in confusion; ple yelling and hooting; did not recognise anyof the Ping Uglies that witness can remember; went to the Navy Department for the purpose of apply- ing to the Secretary for the assistance of the ma- rines; found the Sees: at the President's | house; witness and the Mayor returned to the City Hall together Mr. Bradley asked the witness whether he was present at the Mayor's office when assistance was volunteered by the citizens ? Mr. Rey objected to the question. The point was debated i: y the District Attor- ney for the prosecution, and. Messrs. Scott and Ellis for the defence.

Rodgers, hailing from Cincinnati, and rey - resenting himself as a newspaper (steam) press- man, took a room at the boarding-house No. 317 Pennsylvania avenue. On the day before yester- day afternoon some of the boarders, lodging on the same floor, missed sundry articles of cloth- ing, Xc., from their trunks. t that one of the servants saw him passing in and out of the rooms led to the suspicion that be was the thief, and he was placed under the surveiliance of the police, who took him into custody yesterday inorning, and on examining him before Justice Donn no proof on wh ch to liotd him for trial was at band. “He was accordingly discharged trom | enstody. j He then returned to the boarding house, paid his bill, and taking his bagga wentaway.

We hear that on some of his clothing the name of James K. Mott is marked. He has prob- ably left the city, and the police are doing their best to track him. This thief is about 20 years of age, has a light complexion and blue eyes, and is cro: ed somewhat. His height and weight are medinm. He wore a high-crowned, sunfl-colored Kossuth hat, and had a variety of clothing. He wore away a dark, thin frock coat. Tus River.—The sloop Old State. Capt.
