Court bad Towers —Between 4 MARRIED, AUCTION SALES. one, would resist him if he died on his own Tae FoneraLor Mr. " threshold for it. The laid down the yesterday LOCAL INTELLIGENCE, Ca:minat Court.—The Election Rrots.—The to jery, after taking a recess yesterday, came in court, and Mr. Ellis resumed his argument by saying that be had endeavored to show the jury that from the blunders which hid been made by the witnesses for the prosecution, and from their many contradictions, they were not to be believed in relation to the material facts to bale Lay: ep! . He went on to enumera’ Leica whehed been examined for the defence, thet he said, res: men and en- ciety eacokessted with the Administration now in power, and whose evidence was uncontra- dicted by the gra Bol any creditable oo, He anked the jury if t not underst: from the erroneous, and he might say en ites ments of the various newspaper presses of Wash- ington that the riot of the morning had been kept up at intervals until after the visit of the marines to that spot ? . In order to doaway with that erroneous impres- sion he referred them to the list which bad been brought into court, showing that during the two and a quarter hours jous to the first clos ing of the polls the votes which had been re- ceived were equal to one per minute. There were three hours at least between the first and the last Interruption, and during that time 213 votes Lo been polled. Now, here stands out in bold reli the fact, that when men were being oe awa’ from the and beaten, and when disorderan rosecription prevailed, there was one vote cast For every forty-fourseconds of time which during those three hours. He contended that, in view of #ll these = the idea of interruption si y ridiculous. “ite snl to show that, during the election of last year, at this same precinct, was exactly inthe same proportion during the same amount of time, as this year; he contended that the interruption which was said to have occurred was entirely groundless and entitled to no credit. ' Passing to the statements of Mr. Key, with re- yard to the Plug Uglies, he would not attempt to excuse those men; he would not think of defend- ing their acts on paitisan grounds; he believed that the defendants in this case were innocent and persecuted men; he would defend them without fee or reward, because he believed that they were hot the aggressors in the late election scenes. Mr. Ellis went on to read a part of the instruc- tions which bad been given by the Court, and said they led to the inquiry whether the parties charged had met together with a concerted pur- pose or not, they were to be either convicted or acquitted on the charge ofa riot?) He begged the ~ jury to keep that fact in mind, and he would fo on toshow that there was no riot. The District Attorney bad endeavored to bring the two Stew- arts into close contact with those events; he bad endeavored to their connection with the cannon; with the morning affray; with chasing gun in band, a gang of frishinen down Mas chusetts avenue—all in the same moment, almost. Was such a thing possible? If they had done those things at one and the same time, the jur could not convict them of ariot. It was au of- fence, but not a riot. Two men could not make a riot, no matter how large they were. Mr. Frere had said that Isaiah Stewart, instead of being en- gaged with the rioters, was counseling the other side to go away out of the reach of danger, and acting in a manner in every way calculated to show that he was endeavoring to restore peace and prevent rioting. Mr. Hillis concluded his argument (after speak- ing some five hours,) in which he went over the same ground, in effect, as had been traveled over by Mr. Scott, on Tuesday. ‘Fhe Court then adjourned FIFTEENTH DAY. ‘The Court met soon after 10 o’clock this morn- ing, and the arguments for the defence in the pending trial were resumed by— Mr. Bradley, who said that he could net pro- ceed to argue the case any further, without ex- ressing a grateful sense of the kindness of the fourt in ting so much time and discussion to the counsel for the defence. He was suffering from indisposition, but he would endeavor tocon- fine himself to a strict lecal investigation of the facts in evidence in this case. The case presented itself to the juryas a simple nestion of law and evidence: Whether the par- ties now on trial eee of a riot—whether, in nt of law, the evidence justifies the jury in finding them guilty? The law of riot was well Gefined, and although it had received particular qualifications, still its general principles were well understood. He underst ery well, the theory of the District Attorney in this case; he had endeavored to apply the law to his theory; he conceived that if fae jury found that the parties indicted had intended to carry into effect the of- fence with which they were charged, they were guilty of ariot. If they find that any one of the rties indicted, to gratify some other purpose, fin @ map, it is no part of the riot; for there must be a purpose to effect an object, a concert er for that purpose, and a final accomplishment of that purpose, to constitute a riot. To take another step in this matter, the riot must be preconcerted—that element is as neces- sary as is malice in a case of wilful murder. The argument of the District Attorney had been di- rected to the jary to confound separate and dis- tinct events together. lt was fur better that the most guilty of the participants in the events of the riot which had been alleged by the United States should go free than that one innocent person should be punished in the slightest degree for crime not committed by him. Mr. B. went on to detine what he conceived to be the difference between a riot and an affray. He said it was lawful for the Baltimore Plug Uglies to be in the streets of Washington on that day. It was as lawful for them to be in Seventh street on that afternoon as it was for the marines to be there. It now became necessary to see for what purposethey were there. If they were there, seme of them, to disturb and break up the elec- tion, aud others to gratify some personal malice ainst individuals, they might be committing a misdemeanor, but they were not guilty of an aifray- Mr B. went on to read from some of the Eag- lish authorities to illastrate this point still fur- ther, and to show under what circumstances, and how far the jury must credit the evidence of wit- nesses in a case so critical as this was He said that it was an instinct of humanity for us to shield onr own acts by implicating others. This it was which caused men to see through false mediums. It was a great mistake to suppose that men who do not swear to the truth are swearing falsely. In the course of some thirty | pos Practice at this Court, he had not found ft necessary, except in four or five instances. to impute deliberate per- jury. J He cautioned the jury that where they saw par- ty prejadice or interest in the evidence of a man who festifies to distrust him. He might intend to be truthful. but bis mind was certainly warped and not capable of a fair statement of events wherein his interest was concerned. Charles Spencer, a mere stripling, who was shot by the marines in two places, and now carries the lead from their muskets in his head, is charged here with a riot; and the si, Se sai to implicate him is given by Officer Birkhead. ‘This officer Was a policeman. and was himself skulking be- hind the barricade, with a dense crowd standin: between him and Alston’s corner, and he afrai to look out from his hiding place. Yet he dis- tinetly at this time saw, as he testifies here, Chas. Spencer on that — iuaking demonstrations towards the marifies. it was a well known fact, said Mr. B, that nothing so affects the vision of a man as fear; he was afraid that ofticer must Lave been actuated by this pec cg @ greater or less extent at that time. Ifsot , how far could the jury trust to bis statements against the multiplicity of evi- dence which bad been given by the defence tothe contrary, which was pvnivesed, which was neg- 3c the ative evidence in this case he had no doubt jory could understand perfectly well without any rtberargument Jt was a most 1¢.uarkable fact that Capt Baggott, Chief of Police, was Present ie, during the examination of the testimony for the United States, and was not put upon the stand to testify in this case. Jt was found that he had fired if not the fist, the two shots which followed the first discharged on that occasion. It was the duty of the District Attorney to have brought him into Court and have his evidence, his account of kis participation in these events given to the jury and the Court When the District Attorney said that the com- missioners of the election had closed the polls, knowing that they were violating their sworn oaths—t they were by that act furthering the rioters—it had filled him with amaze- inst the moral character of those judges of election, not a word was to be breathed; they were as pure aud as honest men as lived. Show him a man who would deliberately violate &@ sworn oath, taken before his M T, todischarge & public duty, and he would show a man who Was not fit to live in human society; he was less thay a man Mr. B went on tosay that he would rather have it said of him that he had cheated in private life, that he had violated the laws of hospitality, that he drank, gamed, performed any other disagree- able act. than to have it said that he haddaken a deliberate oath to perform a duty of some—no inatter what —public or private nature, and as de- Mberately broken it. If the jury believed the evidence of the defence there was but an affray; but if they would believe the evidence on the other side, then there was a ict. Which woald they believe? On the one side they were all interested in some manner in the result of this trial; on the other side, there was bo interest of any sort, except an interest to see that the innocent should not be punished in place of the guilty. What were the facts in he cane ? Mr. Iddins testities that the judges closed the is when the marines came upon the ground, ‘ause they did not think it would be safe to keep them open and remain there. Was not that a << and sufficient reason? Had ti not a ' it to consult their personal safet a cate of the ballots tlt hed setually bees, —y nm cast when t had reason to anticipate Loge eoeention of their advent there? ind law says that the military called out withoutfirst exhausting t ity, hedemanded then that it be shown clearly that the civil authority was exhausted. If the fool entiooty ee out the gilitary without entiely exhausting the cist force, he, for I not be s¢ civil author- laws the authority was good enough, said Mr , for him; mayor must lo cl authorities, and they must be exhausted before the mayor shall dare to apply for the military. The civil force was present, and yet they made no Teport to the mayor, they did not intetpose to stop the affiay. Yet, in the face of all these facts, the Mayor runs in bot haste and for the marines; e ‘ht to the ground, and the world is pakizone of ine, dvesdtol res is tas ita aner ufboeal where there is no cloud tpose between a man’s acts and his mo- pvenaen nva there is no jury—where other wit- nesses than these will lay such a list of facts before the Great Judge as will consign to ever- perdition the guilty. evih regard to thenwivai, it was immaterial to the jury whether it was spiked or not—and there |: cannot be the slightest doubt as tothe fact that it was spi ‘cept this: rumor is abroad that the marines are about. T'wenty or Sp Beer ae and bs Sori the gun to the spot. ere ae the ris 2 bide bg es Messrs. Wm. and George Wilson. Win, Wilson says to the mayor “sir, the polls are closed and they shan’t be opened until the marines go away.’’ And that is ariot. Would not any man on the jury be likely to say the same thing on a similar occasion? If he (Bradiey) had been there he should, no doubt, have said the same, and the Grand Jury would then have indicted him fora riot! ‘The Mayor had no right to force the polls to be opened, as his honor had said to the jury in bis instruc- tions. But where do we find this rioter, Mr Wilson, in the next moment? Why, at the can- non, offering his assistance to Mr. Wallach in maintaining, notin breaking the and say- ing to hii that he wiil stand by him. Does that jook as if Mr. Wilson was one of the rioters? Mr. B. closed his argument by repeating that if he had stated the law correctly the Jury could not convict the parties of a riot. The jury here took a recess. Meetine of THE City Covnctts.—A special meeting of the Board of Aldermen was held at three o’clock yesterday afternoon, to take meas- ures to pay appropriate marks of respect to the memory of ex-Mayor Towers. Mr. Bayly, President of the Board, having sta- ted the object of the session, a committee con- sisting of Messts. Riggs, Goddard, and Clark was appointed to act in conjunction with a com. mittee of the Lower Board, in pone resolu- tions. After a short conference the joint commit- tee reported the following— Resolutions of — to the memory of John T. rs. ‘owe! John T. Towers having departed this life, and the Mayor, Board of Aldermen, and Board of Common Council of Washington, desiring toex- Press their high admiration of his characterias a citizen and their deep sense of the loxs our city hus sustained in the death of one who so long and so faithfully discharged the varions trusts confl- ded to him by the ple of Weshington, Resolved, &e., Phat we have head with deep sorrow of the death of John T.-Towers, late May- or of the city of Washington, the uprightness and get | of whose character merits the admira- tion of all, and especially that of the people of this city, in which a large portion of his Tike ‘was spent, and where his 7 will ever be cher- ished as that of one of our city’s brightest orna- ments. Resolved, That the Corporate authorities attend in a body the funeral of the deceased, and that Ber wear the usual badge of mourning for thirty days. Resolved, That we tender to the family of the deceased our heartfelt sympathy on the occasion of their sud bereaveme and that the Mayor be and he is hereby respe ‘ully requested to com- municate to the family of the deceased a copy of these resolutions, and cause the same to be pub- lished in the papers of this city. Mr. Bayly, in taking the question on the reso- lutions, said it would have afforded him mach satisfaction to have spoken upon the character and. services of the deceased, but that the resolutions expressed what he would have said The question being taken, the resolutions were unanimously adopted. Mr_ Dove, remarking that his connection with Mr. Towers, been so jntimate as to induce him to say a word, proceeded to pay a warm tribute to the deceased, whom he had known from boy- hood, and who as a firm friend, devoted hns- band and fond father, had earned the love of all who came in contact with him. Mr. Miller said he could not allow the oecasion to pass without expressing bis sense of the loss they had experienced in the death of Mr. Tow- ers. He first knew Mr. T. when a poor printer's boy, without means or patronage. He afterwards became a student of medicine under the speaker, and here he came to know him not only as a faithful pupil, but as one of more than ordinary amiability and docility. Distinguished by at- tention to his studies. and afterwards to his bus- iness, (after he abandoned the practice of medi- cine,) he rose to the highest municipal positions, and no man, per! ‘ amore thorouzh know!- edge of city affairs. As Mayor of the city of Washington, the course of Mr. Towers was al- ways that of kindness, courtesy and conciliation. Though opposed to him politically he beliéved that the course of Mr. Towers had been actuated by the purest motives. Mr. oho reverted to the time when he first met the deceased. 1t was at the time when the Asiatic cholera first made its appearance in this country, oceasioning universal fear and gloom. As an indication of the public feeling at that time, Mr. D. mentioned the unusnal cirenmnstance of the National Intelligencer having Issued an extra in relation to the advent of thin fell de stroyer. Upon the appenrance of the cholera in this city, the persons attacked were taken to the hospital on Tenth street, at the corner of F. The speaker, in visiting the victims at this place, noticed a boy who was administering medicine, and who was remarkably kind and attentive to the sick and dying. Struck with his appearance he followed him from mattress to mattress, and day after day he observed him ever kind’ and assiduous. his youth was John T. Towers, then perhaps 21 or 22 years of age, though look- ing much younger. As soon as opportunity of- fered, he cultivated the aequaintance of the young man, and such was the esteem that he formed for him that he {rst nominated him for Councilman and afterwards for Alderman in his ward. ‘The city, in his death, had lost oue of its best citizens and leyislator: Se Messrs. Clarke; Houston and Smith made feel- ing, but necessarily brief addresses, and then the Board adjourned, to proceed with the other Board to attend the funeral of the deceased. The Board of Common Council met, and was ealled to order by the vice president, R. H. Clark, Esq. Mr Brown offered the following resolution, which was adopted : Resolved, (the Board of Aldermen concurring,) That the communication of the Mayor just te- ceived, announcing the death of John T. Towers, late Mayor of Washington, be referred to a select jcint committee of one member from each Ward, said committee to be com; of three Aldermen and four Common Councilmen. ‘The Chair appointed Messrs. Brown, Jefferson, Mulloy and Lloyd. After a recess of ten minutes the Board resumed its session, and Mr. Brown, from the select com- mittee, reported a series of resolutions from the Aldermen, (see Aldermen’s proceedings,) which were unanimously adopted. The Board then adjourned, and Proceeded to attend the funeral.

At the grave the concluding rites of the Episcopal Church were performed by the Rev Mr. Hutton, and the impressive service of the 1. O. of O. F. ma petormed by P. G. M. John T. Clements, who officiated as chaplain. Credit Is due to the undertaker, Mr. A. Buchly, for the very perfect manner in which the arrange- ments of the funeral were carried out, especially in view of the length of the cortege. A Femace Institute.—The school which our former fellow citizen, Donald Macleod, Esq., pro- poses to open here shortly. and to conduct with the assistance for the most part of lis refined and accomplished wife and daughters, cannot fail to he a great acquisition to the Federal Metropolis. Thongh for many years past a resident of Ten- nessee and Ohio, his fame asa successful trainer of female youth is as well known here, almost, as there. We can have little doubt that the induce- ments which his institution must offer will keep in Washington to be educated, the daughters of Members of Congress and others of our sessional sojourners, so many of whom bring hither their children to be educated elsewhere, but still suf- ficiently near by to be under their own surveil- lance. “The inducements of refined society—that is, of the influence of it wherever it exists—are reater here than anywhere else. Women reared in and around Washington, as a general rule, are ladies of more true refinement cud enlarged minds than any others in our country, owing to the influence of the minds and the tone of society surrounding them. We trust this may long con- tinue to be the case.

Tur Fire Derartment.—Recently the com- panies of the Washington Fire Department have been refitting their apparatus and placing it in the best ible order for active service. Por- tions of the apparatus of the Franklin and North- ern Liberty companies have been sent to other cities, to be put in order by the original builders. ‘The suction of the Columbia and the suction and carriage of the Perseverance are in hand at the factory of M. McDermott, of this city. ‘The work upon the last mentioned pieces iidicates the excellence of our Washington mechanics. [t is only necessasy to test their skill for proof of their ability to do the finest work required in their professions. Our mechanics, if properly encouraged can do everything required of them A Cotorgep “CunNINGHaM.""—Last night, a colored woman, named Elizabeth Lee, was ar- rested and taken to the guard house, charged with being one of a disorderly gang in the Sev- enth Ward. About two months ago she wus brought up for some misdemeanor. and got off by feigning to be in the agonies of labor. ‘This tin she hada similar story to tell but the guards be- lieving that she was Cuaninghami=ing, locked her up inthe cells. During the night, however, it became apparent that she was not shamining this time, and a physician was sent for and she was taken to her home, where she is now “doing as well as could be expected.”’ Tue Excursion or St. Peter's Sunxpay Scuoor yesterday was attended by the largest party by far that has been down the river this season. During the day, a number of little misses recited an interesting flower dialogue, at the close of which each teacher was presented by his or her class a beautiful bouquet ; and Capt. Cor- son was also singled out by the gratified little girls as a person to be comp!imented, for his ser- vices and kind attentions to the excarsionists, The party numbered from 1,500 to 2,000 persons, and not an unpleasant word was heard from any eae! among that crowded assemblage, during the entire day. Work on THR AguEDUct.—We understand that Capt. Meigs is paying $1.25 per day to sober, steady workmen on the Aqueduct, and that skil- ful tenders to masons and bricklayeis get $1 37 per day. The work is within fourteen niles of Georgetown, and those prices we should think wonld secure any quantity of labor desirable. The breaches in the Canal near the city have taken off some of the labor from the Aqueduct but it is supposed that when they are completed there will be a largely increased force available. Corporation Cases.—A hackman, named El- liott Hopkins, was arrested yesterday by persons following the funeral of Ex-Mayor Towers, aud delivered to Officer Yeatman. There were four charges against him, viz: driving through the funeral procession, driviog a hack without ném- ber, furious driving, and profanity in the street. He was taken before Justice Donn, and ordered to pay a tine and costs in each case, amounting in all to about S53. Excursion oF THE MaRYLAND TO Norrotk.— Weare glad to see the excursion trips of the Maryland are so popular as to demand repetitions at short interyals. Another one ix announced for Saturday, in the programme of which, a visit to all the Potomac, Bay, and Elizabeth river points of interemt are included. We hope Capt. Mitch- ell may live a thousand years to conduct such ex- cursions, and that we and all our readers may live another thousand to go on them. “B” writes us from Georgetown at 11} a. ™m., that the water is coming into the Canal slowly and surely between that point and Little Pra and that before sunset the boats will all be afloat. He adds that the gap on the new road, made by the rain of the 4th instant, is full fifty feet deep and twenty wide, and tat it threatens to increase in dimensions shortly. Reat Estate.—Yesterday, A. Green, auction- eer, sold lot 14, in square 584, with two frame houses, for $1,300 ; purchaser A. Morehouse.
