LOCAL INTELLIGENCE. Caiminat Covat—Sizth Day—The trial of the election rioters was resumed this morning. Mr. Ellis said that on Saturday last a sugges- tion was made by one of his colleagues that three of the parties, viz: Wm. Garner, Wm. Jones and Chas. Hurdle, who were now upon trial, ought to be acquitted by the jury upon the groutid that no evidence had been brought against them. The rule of law was then stated to be that where sev- eral parties were upon trial together, and no evi- dence appeared to criminate any one of them, that party was discharged under the rule of the Court in order to enable the counsel for the de- fence to use him as a witness. The laws lay down the reason of the rule to be such as stated by the counsel; and, added to that, the counsel thought it improper for the prosecution to be permitted to continue parties joined in the prosecution when no witnesses had been brought against them; for, in so doing, the defence might be deprived of material evidence. Suppose it had been the design, which is by no means charged here, of the prosecution to prevent evidence from appearing in behalf of those men indicted, the easiest thing in the world for the prosecution was to couple with the parties really culpable all the friends of those ‘ties; and unless they were en- titled to mittal, when the prosecution rest- ed their ¢: et would be impossible for the par- thes implicated to prove their innocence, or to comttpant the testimony brought against them. Mr. Ellis referred to the decision of Chief Jus- tice Savage, of the Supreme Court of the State of New York, to the effect that the jury might prop- erly pass upon a case when the evidence was slight, and if he was acquitted he might be used. a witness for the defence. If that was the rule how much stronger was the case when was no evidence at all to implicate a party. He said that there might be many other cases adduced to the same effect. ‘The Court inquired whether it was the inten- tion of the defence to offer these men as witnes- ses Mr. Ellis answered that it was probable that some of them would be used. Mr. Bradiey did not know whether Wm. Gar- ner would be offered or not in that capacity, but stated that they regarded Charles Hurdle asa ma- terial witness. Mr. Key said that this was simply a matter to be decided by the Court, the case referred to by the counsel for the defence did not apply to this case because that was upon application fora new trial, where several parties had been indleted for conspiracy. It would be impossible to say what evidence might be brought to bear upon the guilt of these men in the evidence for the defence. When the evidence had been completed for the defence he had no objection to the proposed course. Mr. Bradley said that he did not understand the rule cited, to be us represented by the District Attorney. He contended that 2s the prosecution had closed their case, to hold them over to see what might he bronght against them in the examination of the witnesses for the defence was equivalent to trying them twice for the same of- fence. He contended that the Wm. Jones now on trial was a totally different person from the one whom it was the design of the Marshal to arrest. Mr. Bradley went on to cite authorities for the course presented by the defence. He argued these potats at some length, and with great tact, endeavoring to show that the parties would not be competent witnesses while they stood on the Tecord as defendants in the case. The Court. in answer, declined the be ition to discharge Garner, Jones and Charles Hurdle, but wonld admit Hurdle to be a witness in the case, still holding bim on the record as a defend- ant The practice of the courts in this conntry and England in regard to such witnesses b: been various. The general practice latterly had been to take verdicts before admitting defendants a8 Witnesses, but (he weight of authority is against it. Looking at the case in all its bearings the motion was denied. Mr. Bradley said that it bad been understood that several questions which had been put to the witnesses for the prosecution by the counsel had been ruled out bythe court. He now p: ed to offer evidence to show those points, and would read the propositions to the court, which had been reduced to =e with a view to knowing what witnesses would be required by the defence. and that such as would not be required might be discharged. Mr. B. sead the points which it was proposed to show by those witnesses. The Court decided that those been ruled out by the Court, an was inadmissible: Mc. Bradley announced that he would proceed to discharye those witnesses, and that by to-mor- row mornin be would prepare other propositions which he would offer to the Conrt jn place of those now submitted and refused by the Court. Frederick Iddings, sworn—tIs a citizen of Washington; has voted here some years; was a commissiover of the Fourth V a d, first preeinc’, at the election; was never vefore a commissione. of election; there was a disturbance in the morn- ing about 9 o'clock, or soon after; up to that time the election had proceeded in a quiet and orderiy manner; a great rush was made at the polls; ina few moments @ pistol was fired; the judges tried to put the shutter up, to keep the crowd from coming in; failing im that, and hearing other pis- tols fired and missiles thrown, they picked up the ballot box and left the place,and went into the lot back of the building; after being there a moment, the commissioners said that it was not safe to stay there, and they all went to the house of Mr Israel, near by; went into and down the alley to his house; that was all witness saw; witness ot ited to one of the Commissioners to send to the jayor for u sufficient police force to protect the polls; he replied that they had better wait a few minutes; directly afterwaidsa message came that the disturbance wasover, and they could go back in safety; all then went back, and the is were opened, and the voting went on as it bad pre- viously; never heard of the Mayor’s being there till he came up with the marines; the Ming ‘went on eably from the time the polls were Te-opened till the time the marines came up; Witness was stationed immediately in frout of the window through which the votes were received; could not from that ition see the voters as they. passed in and ont; the judges never kept the pa- Pers of any naturalized voter who presented them a» a qualification for voting; there was no case of a man’s being hauled viole ily away from the polls while his papers were being examined; Witness must have known it if it had been done, as he was the judge who examined the papers of voters; between the aifray and the arrival of the marines the voting was as great and frequent as before the affray; i @. Emery voted jast before the affray in the morning, and John H. Goddard was the last man who voted before-the marines came up; the voting was going on quietly when tbe marines arrived; when they heard that the miirines Lad arrived, according to an understand ing which they bad revinusly, the polls were immediately closed: this was done at the sugzes- tion of one of the judges, that it was improper to hold the polls open in presence of a military force; they had come to an understanding that the polls Were tobe closed when the marines came in sight; they acted on that understanding; they all agreed as to the impropriety of holding an election inthe Presence of 2 military force; witness thought that neither the commissfoners or the ballot were safe, which was the principal motive which influenced him in going away; a messenger was sent to the Mayor to say that when the marines were taken away the pollx would be opened; the first pistol ‘was fired in front of the window in the morning; in an instant afterwards witness heard several dis- ebarges of pistcls; Mr. Boss went to put up the shutter; he was one of the judges; some person from the outside assisted bles. Cross-ezamined.—W itness was Tight in front of the window: could not sezasx well as Mr. Boss, who was standing at the window taking votes; Witness was some four feet from the window; had a fair look out of the window. It was five feet from the ground; witness heard five or six pistols discharged after the first discharge: witness don't know that a rush was made to break up the polls; the rush broke up the line of voters: the voters ran to get out of the way of the moh; a crowd was standing there waiting to vote, and a pistol was fired, people fled through the windows of the polls; didn’t see what made the ple fly; witness did not see any rush; Mr uit came through the window; heard missiles thrown; saw the stones, &c., afterward in the room where the Hs were held: no one was sent to the Mayor for extra police force; did not see any one dragged from the polls and beaten; such might have been the case, however: could not see all the people who were standing about the Polls, did not see auy man drazged out. it might have been done; it might have occurred either on one side or the other without the witnesses’ seeing it.

Mr. Charlies F. Lowrie was next laced upon the stand, and is testifying as we go to press. uestions had all such evidence ‘Tux Riven.—Many sand, wood, and coal boats are hourly arriving up at the mouth of the canal, all heavily laden with stores for our city mer- chants. This ing, the scbr. Federal. arrived upto the Sevenicenth street wharf a large of lumber. . ‘ollyer, this morning, towed up the Mar i tea iro large ncoonera markets.

This indicates a ly Yncreased arnount of ‘on the part of our | estate owners compared re years. reAtrived—at Harvey’s wharf, sc oxana, Moore, from Havre-de-Grace, with coal for Har- Co. "SEF ely as sixteen canal boats, loaded with coal, came down the canal fa Mexandce, and re- mained in the ee ee ly. Some twenty sail of vessels are waiting at the coal wharves, Alexandria, for return cargoes. At Riley’s wharf, schar Swift, Philadelphia, with coal to T. W. Riley. At Armstrong’s ways, the schooner Exertion, which was being hauled up to be caulked, was not put p ly on the cradle, or the cradle was by some mistake not on the rail, and in hauling her up she stuck fast. The steamer James Guy was employed to haul her off, and making fast to her keel, made one puli at her, pulling her keel entirely out. ‘The steamer Columbia arrived at Riley’s wharf from Baltimore last night, landing a large quan- tity of merchandise for our city merchants. Several vessels arrived at Alexandria yesterday, including tive or six with coal and stone for Wash- ington and Georgetown ; the others came light for coal and freights. Several vessels left the coal wharves at that place with fall cargoes of coal for Philadelphia and other ports. The steamer Mount Vernon was launched from Hunter's ways at Alexandria on Saturday, and came up to Mattingly’s wharf, where she will, in a few days, be put in complete order for service. It is understood that she is te take the place of the Powhatan on the river. This morning, several gentlemen living on the Island, who have become long ago disy with the high price of marketing at our city markets, tried a new di . ‘They proceeded to the steam- boat wharf, and got on board the boat, whence they went to Alexandria and did their marketing, the time consumed only taking one hour anda half. They filled their baskets for just one-half the money it would have required at home. They purchased at the following prices, viz: To- matoes, 10e. per a choice cuts of bee So. per lb.; veal, lalze.; lamb, 8c.; potatoes, Isu20c. per peck; cucumbers, Se. per dozen; cabbages, 3 aSc. each ; and everything else in proportion What makes this difference this place and Alexandria in the prices of the most common staple articles of table consumption we cannot conceive. It would sem, howe’ er, that our citi zens can save nearly one-ualf of their money by going to Alexandria for supplies of domestic ar- ticles. This fact ought to be generally known. If our Washington bucksters don’t look out their trade will be likely to fall off, as many of our citi- zens are determined not to stand the exorbitant prices at which they bold their green groceries and other articles. ENTERTAINMENTS AWEAD.—To-day, the Pic Nic of the Young Catholie’s Friend Society, at Georgetown College Grounds; and the Pic Nic of the National Glee Club at Humphreys & Jue- nemann’s.

Tue Sunpay Law.—The attention of the police Officers has been especially directed to the Sun- day law, or the Corporation law against selling liqnor on Sundays, and zgainst keeping taverns and bar-rooms open on that day. In every in- stance where it can be shown that the law has been violated the penalty will be visited upon the offender, and a second offence will probabl cause the annaulling of the license. This is deerme neeessary by the Mayor. A majority of the kee ers of Yestihrents aad taverns who have hea notified, have declared their gratification at the enforcement of the law. The Guards have also been ordered to close all bar-rooms in their re- spective beats at 12 o’clock at night, and where it is necessary, to assist the keeper in closing, and to arrest all persons who prevent him. Visitixe Detecation of Finemen.—R. A. Gerbutt, president; Jas. Young and Peter Young, directors; Sam’l Clark and Geo. Clark, members, a deputation of the Southwark Fire Engine Co of Philadel pi reached here this morning, and pet ap at the Washington House. The object of their visit is to make preliminary arrangements with the Metropolitan Hook and Ladder Company of this place, to visit their city to join in the grand geuesal parade, on the first Monday in Oc- tober. They take their departure this evening. PaLse PREreNce oF Gorne a Biack-Bury- 1nG.—On F riday, Officers Lloyd and Bird brought a colored woman before Justice Rowland who had been going about collecting money of the benevolent under pretence that she had achild lying dead at home which she had not the means to bury. When the officers arrested her she was making a collection of a gentleman who was de- ceived by her pitiable tale. She was shown to bean impostor, and Justice Rowland sentenced her to the workhouse for ninety days. Baxsanity.—Our attention was called on Sat- urday to the cruelty practised at Centre Market by the owners of some of the cows and calves on sale, who had tied the tongues of thecalves with cords so tightly as evidently to cause much pain tothe poor animals, the object bein; them from sucking, thereby giving the cows a fine appearauce, with their udders distended and the milk streaming from the teats. We should suppose there might be some police regulation brought to bear upon the perpetrators of such barbarities. Unerep States Cases —Saturday, the follow- ing cases were disposed of by Justice Donn : Jas. Newman, arrested by Offlcer McHenry for lar- ceny; jail for Court. Hezekiah Jackson, colored, arrested by Officer Parham for larceny ; dismissed. Charlies Rothwell, arrested by Otticer King for threats and attempts to shoot John Augustus. ‘This case grew out of the killing of adog belong- ing to Rothwell by the complainant, the dog having bitten his child. The Justice after ex amining the case held both to security for peace. to keep Amrvtation.—Saturday evening a man named James Ryon was taken to the Washington In- firmary for treatment. He was erecting a stone wall in Georgetown, and while endeavoring to remove a heavy rock, the crowbar with which he was working shipped, and the stone fell upon his foot, cansing a compound fracture and disloca- tion of the ankle joint. After consultation, the surgeons deemed it necessary to remove the timb immediately; which was done This morning the unfortunate man is as cheerful as one can be under such circumstances ‘Tur New RvLe.—Yesterday.the Central guard house was kept open the entire day, and a police officer in attendance there to hear complaints and render assistance if called for. Itis not generally known that this regulation is 0; > but potice cat peedily ‘beatae it by epetnieg & ths tice can Fr eo Central station. s ~—— by spplying Yustexpay, the city was as quiet as could he expected. The only person taken to the station house for trial was Thomas McBride, who was arrested by officer Fanning fox an assault on his wife. He was sent (o jail by Justige D. Smith, of the Third District. AssavuLt.—Last Saturday, Mary Shaughnessy was arrested for an assault on Julia Bush. The ties are neighbors and have not been ver riendly for some time previous. The assault committed was the throwing a dead chicken at the es nant, for which the accused was held to security for court.

Correspondence of The Star. Grorcrrown, August 3, 1857 An extra session of our City Councils was con- vened on Saturday eveniag, by Mayor Crawford, avho transmitted to them a communication in- forming them of the death of Mr. Mountz; pay- ing a handsome tribute of respect to bis memory, and recommending such steps upon the part of the Councils to perpetuate his many virtues, and as a token of respect for his great usefulness and integrity as an old and well-tried public servant, as they in their wisdom might deem suitable and proper; and the urement of a portrait of Mr 4 to be placed in the office of the Clerk of the Corporation. At the usual hour the Councils met, and a pre- amble and resolutions passed both Boards, sct- ting forth the many virtues, deploring the loss of his valuable services to the Corporation, and re- solving to attend bis funeral in a body. The remains of our late respected fellow-towns- man, Mr. John Mountz, were followed to their last resting place in Oak Hill Cemetery, yester- day afternoon, by a large number of the Masonic fraternity, our Mayor, City Councils. and other Corporation officers in a bedy, and an immense concourse of our fellow citizens. He was buried with the usnal ceremonies of the Presbyterian Church, the Rev. Dr. Bocock officiating After the adjournment of the coroner’ on Friday afternoon, from some cause a to us, the family of young Moore changed their minds and refused to allow a post-mortem exam- ination of the body to be made. This refusal, we think, was decidedly wrong, as it was the only means by which the yury could arrive at a correct conclusion in regard to the real cause of his death, and may tend to defeat the endsof public Snstice In the absence of the t-mo:tem examination, the jury, after setting forth the facts, rendered a verdict * that the said James Moore died of in- flammation of the bowels, mes sires by the wounds inflicted upon his y by one William Nicholson.’ Our canal wharves, in the neighborhood of the coal docks, presents quite a lively and cheerlag aspect this morning.
