i eS LOCAL INTELLIGENCE. Carmixat Covar.—The Election Riots After the recess of the jury, yesterday— . i» Mr. Scott resamed his argument. He called the attention of the jury to the disturbance which occurred after the military came to the polls on the riots. He said that the indictment couesen but one criminal act, and it was the rovince of the District Attorney to select rom ihe many acts which were on that day, and try the accused defendants on any one of them. “He had attempted to show the jary this, and that it was not for the learned At- torney to select amy other than that rally charged in the indictment, and when he makes his selection he must be confined to that. If he was right in that proposition, unless some connection was establis between the occurren- ces of the morning, and those that transpired sub- sequently, be was transcending the legitimate province of the prosecution to go into any other than the occurrences of the morning of the first of June. After the United States had given evi- dence upon the occurrences of the afternoon, and sought to make its argument upon the bi: events which characterized the presence of the marines, it was not its province to recede from the responsibility of coming to the issue upon that point. His honor had said that one sy Pee sup- that the city authorities were upon theirtrial ere. How an impartial investigation could be had withont putting them on trial, it his comprehension to determine. What coanection had the disturbance of the morning with that of the afternoon, and the acts of the Mayor there? It is only upon the hypothesis of a connection of the twot the argnment of the District Attor- ney was based. The purpose, it was claimed, of the morning affray, was to break the columa of Irish voters, to disturb the election; but what connection had this with the affray in the after- noon? The purpose of the afternoon affray was entirely different from that of the morning. It originated f:om the marching of the marines from the barracks. It was participated in by half a dozen boys from the Navy Yard, it had its ori- gin at the Navy Yard; its cause, the marching of the marines. The appeasance of a canuon at the polts was the first intimation of the disturbance. It was impossible to connect these two cases. The first was the attempt of the Plug Uglies to force the Irish voters away from the polls; the second was the introduction of the cannon to pre- vent the Irish marines from coming and interfer- Ing with the elections. Can it be insisted that there was gny connection between the two acts? ‘W hat does the District Attorney mean, then, when he says that these polls were in possession of the mob through the entire day? What is the evi- dence to sustain that argument? That of a wea- being stuck up in the fence, anda Plug Ugly standing over it, where it remained but five min- utes, and swearing that no Irishman should vote that day. Thisdreadful Plug Ugly only remained there five minutes, and then took his weapon out of the fence and walked away with it. How does that sustain the argument of the learned counsel that the polls were in the possession of the mob up to one o'clock upon that day? Is it evidence be continnation of this riot that the names of these one hundred Irish voters who, it is alleged, were driven from the polls on that morning, were not on the poll book after the affray. Mr. Donn says that he saw several persons ({rishmen)drivea from the polls and beaten while their papers were being examined. Mr. Donn was not the only man there who had eyesand ears. Several witnesses. among them the Commissioners of Election, were there, and had given evidence to that point, and, save in one instance, that of an Irishman who was taken away while attempting to vote upon the papers of a dead man, no such thing was done. e defence had entirely disproved the state- ments of Mr. Doan by the sworn statements of at least three creditable witnesses. Between 9 and 10 o'clock of the morning of June fitst, the affray occurred ip the manner he had explained. accord- ing to the testimony. Information of it was car- ried to the Mayor. After some delay, he, accom- ied by Baggot or Mills, his Chicf of Police. ns to the seene of the disturbance; he did not deseend from his carriage; Goddard did not descend from the carriage; aman named Wheeler, the tax clerk, spoke to him; he spoke to no one else; he commanded no peace; he cantioned no disturber of the peace; set up no authority; but sat in his carriage, where he was left undisturbed ‘The Commissioners made no compiaint; he made no inquiry of them; he put out bis Chief of Police and went off to the Navy Department. The Chief of Police was there, and he took no pains to stop the lawless mob; he was a city officer brought there by the Mayor—left there by the Mayor—to see that the peace was kept, and the United States had not dared to bring him to the stand as & witness in this case The Mayor ought to have commanded the peace if it was being broken. He did not, and for the ‘Vest of all reasons, as is proved—there was no @isturbance. He (the Mayor) says that the voting ‘was not resnraed. Mr. S. did not mean toe charge him with falsity, but if we are to believe human testimony it was proved that when the Mayor was in his carriage the polls were opened and persons were voting The name of the witnesses to that fact is legion. There is not one witness who has been found to testify that while the Mayor was there there was any disturbance of the peace. If parties were violating the peace why was he not on his post of dnty? Why was not the proclaimed ? It is tolly to speak further in the face of this mountain of proof. True or false, that was just after the morning shindy ; it is proved that the Baltimoreans were then off the ground It is established beyond all controversy that when the Mayor wax going to the polls he met a party of rioters who were going in another diiec- tion. Who were these parties but the Plug Ug- lies? The Mayor drove up the city on official business! We all know that that official basi- ness was to get to the Navy Department by the shortest route. Now what was his authority for that official business which led to such diastrous resalts? ‘The dotiex which they were ealied apon to perform were the duties which belonged to the civil authority. What was the pretext of the Mayor? The condition of things at the Fourth Ward polis—and a condition produced by that visit of the Mayor to those polls. ‘The Mayor came back to his office, and had an aifidavit of Mr. Goddard, which was sworn to before the Mayor: he had to go to the Nzvy De- partment,.te the President, tue cousultation re- salty rom this visit necessirily consumed some time—how much tine could not bé ascertained, certainly not short of an hour or an bour anda haif—before the order could have been obtained Now, during all this time, were the polis closed’ Was rioting going on then? Is it to protect this party from the consequences of this act, that the weal of ibe District Attorney was exercised to prove that the poils during all this time were closed’ He asserted that no such thing was true; that there was no rioting there, and that the vo- ting was going on, as usual, all this time. Ifthe Mayor had known the true state of things at this time, he would net have called out the marines: is that the statement which led to the i Out of the marines wes faise. it the Pres- ident and Secretary of the Navy plead the impo- sition passed upon them, canthe city officials, who practised that imposition, escape the consequen- It does not follow that because this was a discretionary power, therefore the Mayor was not responsible for the exercise of this discretion. Suppose the Mayor, in endeavoring to arrest a maa who had committed a misdemeanor, ordered @ platoon of marines to tire upon and kill him, aithough Le would be in the exercise of his dis: cretion, yet would he not be guilty of murder, and heid responsible therefor? It was an exaggerated statement of what had oceurred, and @ false state- ment of what had not occurred, which had led to the dreadfol massacre of those i.nocent persons who were immolated upon the altar of executive partisanship mpon that fatal day. The parties who brought the cannon on the sround made no disturbance, troubled no one ; the voting was going on, they took a position by the market hovse. The District Attorney had asked the question, “ Why did not the Commis- sioners complain of the parties who brought the €annon there.’ Hf be had thought but for a mu- ment he would have fouad his own answer: Sim- bly because the hove did not annoy them. ‘The ayer informs us in his evidence that he was on his arrival at the polis received with scofting and indignity; that the polls were closed. and that he made ineffectual efforts to address the crowd. Did that constitute a riot? Supposing they did scuff, was thatariot? If the Dist Attorney could make a riot of it he must show that the Commis- siouers were there to bar the Mayor and obstract him from having the puils opened. - ‘The merning = mst the anenlisted Irish, this was enlisted Irish, or riher against the f the Mayor to force the pulls open. .

Those jstrates wete The pol itieal oiner this rotten Executive Ad- mini ion. ‘The weather was too hot and he had suffered already too mach — this trial to go intoa lengthy statement of all the case, so he would pass po pe to the first point therein, viz: Was there a riot? There is but one single dec: tion of offence. He repeated, if tifty men on that day were engaged in fighting, unless as many as three of them had met there with a concerted, unlaw- ful purpose, it did not constitute a riot, though an hundred men had been slain. If a hundred witnesses had seen a hundred acts of persons on that day, unless they were acting together with an avowed object, it was no riot. The first affray ‘was committed by others than those now on their defence ; it was commenced by the Anti-Ameri- cans. The last affray was commenced by Cy marines, The first pistols fired were fired by Mr. Bagyott, Chief of Police; he fired the two first pistol shots that were fired at ail. ‘The Americans then at these polls had heard that the morning was to be occupied by the Irish voters, and what more exciting motive for them to commit an affray upon those men than was presented to them by the rumor, which is now proved to have been the case in point of fact? It ‘was a mutual fight. Mr. Lowry says that pistols and stones were thrown and fired by both sides ; also several other witnesses; the feeling growing out of the threat that, if Atericans vi they would have to vote ep a file of marines, was a sufficient justification the acts of American citizens on that morning. The jury would have to say that the conduct of Messrs. Donn, God dard, Begrott, and others, was on that oecasion caleulated to incite the mob to deeds of violence; and should they not, then, when put upon their defence, by the attack of those otticials, resist the obnoxious interference of those men who were so Kenge ceri a getting omg Irish voters up to the s; their forefgn and especial tools aa favorites ? _ re ‘There was but one witness who had shown at what precise time in the morning the aftray com- menerd. Mr. Halleck states, expressly, that some one asked a voter if he had his papers—a very proper question, and one which should have re- ceived a civil answer. What was easier than for him to have madeacivil answer? But this was not the case. He said, ‘‘No, I have not, but I have a brick in my pocket.?? it was on the day of election, and he was bound to show his papers. The melee immediately com: ced—rhat was the cause. The proof al! around is that natural- ized citizens voted as freely during the earlier part of the day as Americans did. ‘his tact neg- atives, entirely, the idea of a preconcerted purpose to keep the Irish from the polls. If that man had given a proper answer to the question, when asked if he had Lat) gel with him, the affray of ihat morning would not have occurred. Mr. Sothoron saw men (Irishmen) coming to the polis with their pockets stuffed with what he supposed, and had every reason to suppose, to be istols, showing that they had come prepared to batile with Amevicans, 2nd force their votes into the ballot-box at the muzzle of the pistol It was shown in evidence that the cannon was only brought to the ground to defend American citizens from an attack anticipated by them from the marines; it was not even loaded. until it ar- rived at the market house, which showed fully that there was no preconcert on the part of these parties to attack and drive off the marines and the crowd of voters. He adverted to the firing of the marines upen Allston’s corner, and axked the jury to recur to the evidence which had been given, and say if they were prepared to believe that there was the least cause for their firing upon that corner. It was amost remarkable thing that these brave and chivatrous marines had fired upon the crowd of rioters and only killed Dutchmen, Democrats and Darkies, their own friends and well-beloved political allies. All these facts opened a very wide field of inquiry, a much wider one than the learned District Attorney would be willing for him to go into. If riot and crime are to be done away with, it will not be by arresting and con- victing American citizens of crimes which are brought about by the officials of an Administra. tion which has ridden inte power on the backs of Irish and Dutch voters. The District Attorney Had spoken of a ridicu- lous seutimentality on the part of the defence. He tells us that the polls were closed to all but members of the American party. He referred the jury to the evidence of the po ee of the election as to the fart of no foreign voters being permitted to vole. The poll list would show wiiether Irish were permitted Lo vole after the re-opening of the polls in the morning. When the judges heard that the votes of the citizens were to be ‘iven through a file of marines, they had net considered the polls safe. and the judges very properly closed them and left the scene of perilous transactions. fle remarked on the character of the testimony which had been giveu on either side in this case, and said that almost all the witnesses on the part of the Uniied States were in some way interested in the resnit of this trial; not directly perhaps, but they were interested in the question, and if they could make it appear that their was a riot which could uot have been suppressed by the civil authority they would run clear of being in- volved in this bloody act in a criminal manner. The jury had to decide as to whether these wit- nesses told the truth or not, whether Wm. B. Magruder and his underlings were to be believed or not, whether these acts are to be taken as law- ful or otherwise; be would try to show in the first place that the Mayor was not to Le believed; he would begin with him; it would be his (El. lis’s) own fault, not that of the witnesses, if he did not tind the Mayor to be guilty of contradic- tion in his testimony. Mr. Eid a1 went on to say that the Mayor had stated in Lis testimony that when he went to the polls they were shut; five or six witnesses bud sworn that When the Mayor got there the polls were open and people were voting. Either the Mayor or these five or six witnesses had sworn falsel It was for the jury to decide which. Then. ‘ain, the letter of the Mayor to the Presi- dent bad stated three or four things that were not true. Were not those statements most recklessly made; he compared the statements of the Mayor to the tale of the little boy who was sent by mother after the cows, and came back with a story of one hundred bears, which, on bein; cross-questioned, dwindled down to a Diack stump. lu seyard to the statements of the Mayor in re- lation to the character of Mr. Hughes, of his being a notorious character, of his having lived with a mulatto woman, Mr. Enlisthonght that the Mayor was not the inan to question the inteyrity of Mr. Hughes. Why had not the Mayor said also, in his evidence, that Mr. Hughes had played domi- noes all day on a Sunday, in an Irish egery ; that he had been found drank on the Fenclice of the market-house and in the gutters of the streets? Mr. Key rose to protest against the course of personal Slander adopted by the counsel for the defence, im his argument. Let him animadvert as severely as he chose on the Mayor in his official Sore Gant he must stop. he Court, sustaining Mr. Key, administered a sharp rebuke to the counsel for defence. Mr. Filis intimated that he was responsible for what he said, to those who might feel themselves aggrieved Court said that was not the question; the x teary ‘of life must be maintained there.” Ellis said that he had said nothing against the character of the Mayor, except so far as to show that bis evidence is not to be relied upon. ‘The Mayor is nofool. Whether he is that which is sometimes put in contrast with a fool is for the jury to decide ; but they must not believe that be ‘Was 2 fool, not by any means. We have been told that a blunders is worse than a crime, by a distin- guished politician of England Judge Crawford. “No. 3 not England,—of France.—Old Talieyrand. Mr. Ellis resuming, commented on the adroit- ness with which the Mayor had sought to xecon- eile discrepancies in his testimony, and to get over the blunders be therein committed. It was a remarkable fact that the report of the grand ju- ryand of the Board of Aldermen could not be sustained by the District Attorney.

Among the many incidents of life, none afford more pleasure than incidents of this kind; they strengthen the ties of friendship, and afford us an opportunity to offer our thanks to you, and to ex press a hope for =: future prosperity. We will ever remember this occasion, in whatever sphere of life our lots ey fe cast. I now presen with this cane in the name of your on the police. Ex-Chief Baggott replied as follows : ‘Sir, I receive from you, as the organ of your as- sociates, with feelings of gratification, this me- thento of their re=pect and esteem. It is, as f well know, but the open and tangible evidence of the silent promptings of their hearts, and assuch will ever be ued by me far above its intrinsic worth. But I am at a loss to know what I have done to cail forth this marked honor which you have conferred on so humble an individual as myself. You say it is for the fidelity aud impar- tality with which I discharged the duty devolved on me while I was yourchief. If that is the case. 1 can say to you that it is true; for in my ofticial intercourse I always endeavored to deal impar- tially with you all.

Tue Triat oF tux Rioters.—Mr. Editor:— ‘There are several assumptions in the argument of Mr. Scott, one of the counsel for the persons now on trial charged with rioting, which are so erro- neous as to require some notice. What I allude to is found in the following extract from the re- port in your paper of Tuesday : “On the first of June, under the provisions of your City Charter, an election was to be held for Municipal officers; 2 precinct was provided at the Fourth Ward; at an early hour that day, a large number of persons of forelyn birth, said to naturalized citizens of the United States, repair- ed together to that poll, and in a column exceed- ing one hundred in number, took ion of the polls. Was not that of itself rather an extra- ordinary affair? But we are not left altogetherin the dark as to that object; we are told that it was brought about by preconcerted arrangement; this party of foreign voters did assemble and press to- ether in a body at the poll, claiming priority to vote over all other persons; it could not have ac- cidentally happened. ‘It was the result of previous arrangement and previous concert. One witness tells us that there was a talk that all such parties were to vote in the morning, and thatall Americans who wished to vote would have to do so in the evening. and through a file of marines. “We have this from one the principal witnesses for the United States, who told us that he was a justice of the ace. and a volunteer policeman on that day. e meant Mr. Justice nn A justice of the peace, stationing himself at the polls, busy inthe conduct of the election, tells you that he had taken a special interest in the foreign votes,and was one of those who actively exerted himself to bring them to the polls! A justice of the peace ! an ofticer of police !—whose daty required a strict impartiality—is one of the instruments by which this array is marched to th plls !’and he eleitus to have been an active participant in their being brought up to the polls and blockading therefrom the rightful voters of those polls '"? Every person who was at the polls of the first precinct of the Fourth Ward at the time they were first opened, knows that the naturalized cit- izens did not take possession of them or claim priority of voting as is alleged by Mr. Scott. Tue jist of persons who are returned by the commis- sioners as having voted at the first opening of the polls (which list is now before the court) contains searcely half a dozen names of Irish voters, and this fact can be verified by examining the said list. The truth is, that at the opening of the polls the Know Nothing voters headed the line, and in the first seventy ballots gave nearly two votes to one from their opponents But the strength of the Anties was constantly increasing by the peaceable ‘falling in’ of their voters in the rear of the line. There was nothing to pre- vent the Know Nothings from voting their strength; but as soon as they had done so, the remainder of the voters, co ing a very large birbiptence Anties, were assailed and dispersed ce. %, portion of Mr. Scott’s speech which refers to me personally is sheer fiction, I never said that there was a previous arrangement to block up the polls, but for every man fo vote early and peace- ably. J never sdid ‘that all Americans who wished to vote would have to vote in the evening, and through a file of marines.” I never said that I was a ‘volunteer policeman,” but that I was appointed a policeman, and that ever since I have been a Justice of the Peace [ have endeavored to do my duty, and would always volunteer for that ur ‘T never said that | had ‘taken aspecial mterest in the foreign votes and was active in bringing them to the polls.” I never claimed to be ‘an active participant in their being brought up to the isa blockading therefrom the rightful voters of these polls.”?; If Mr. Scott de- livered any of the above sentiments he uttered that Which is entirely erroneous, as may be seen by reference to my testimony.
