EVENING _ STAR. ata SPIKIT OF THE MORNING PRESS The Unison discusses the effect of rowdyism rampant upon the business and prospects of Baltimore, aiming to show that the pecuniary injury that city bas already experienced, fairly traceable to that source, is immense. Accord- ing to the Union, Baltimore is tabooed by the customers of Southern and Western traders, and also by travelers to an extent that has given its prosperity such a check as was never before experienced by a great American city. The Union also published an interesting sketch of a very able speech recently delivered by Mr. A. H. Stephens, of Georgia, wherein that gentleman made a most forcible defence of the Kansas policy of the National Administration. The Intelligencer publishes a sketch of a re- cent speech delivered by Mr. Amos A. Law- rence before the convention that renominated the present incumbent for the Governiorship of Massachusetts, and takes occasion enthusiast- ically to respond to its Union-loving sentiments, saying: “Phe sentiments of Mr. Lawrence, so just in themselves, and the more entitled to respect as proceeding from the worthy son of a worthy sire, will be found in marked contrast with the recom- mendations of hose who, in these days of sec- tional strife and collision, have been brought to deem it theirduty to invoke in the political arena either an ‘‘undivided South” or an “undivided North.’ Se far from considering t a desirable direction to be imposed on the political act: ‘ity of the country, Mr. Lawrence, it will be seen, ex: the bope that neither he nor his fellow- citizens may ever be called to see a ‘united North” banded together in the prosecution of sectional aims or exulting in the consciousness of sectional power, except so far as the latter pro- ceeds from those sources which render it in- evitable and just in the order of nature and in conformity with the genius of our institutious. These sources he finds in the intelligence, in- dustry, population, and wealth of the country— sources of influence open to all alike, and pre- eminence in which, under the limitations pre- scribed by the National Constitution, may bring its proper reward without involving injustice to any portion of the Union. If the rivalry between the two sections so commonly placed in political antagonism could be confined toa generous emn- lation in the acts which contribute to the ma- terial prosperity of each, and to the embellish- ment of social life, we might witness perhay the decline of certain litical fortunes in the North and in the South, but we caunot doubt that the real wealth and moral influence of both would be augmented in a deyree quite sufficient to indemnify either for the loss of its friendly and patronising -- agitators,” who are never so happy as when endeavoring to convince their fellow-citizens of some impending danger, which is ever threatening but never coming toa ‘* pe’ fect head,’ much to the confusion of political prognosticators, and much, it is to be hoped, to the relief of those who are simple enough to be frightened by their direful preaictions.’* see Tug Marne Evectiox.—One hundred and sev- enty-five towns give Morrill, the repulican can- didate for Governor, 33,000 votes, and Smith, dem 25,000.

The Cortections ror Party Purpo' New York Daily News u to “pony up,”’ in view of o8 expenses in the approaching State election. How much better would it be for all parties if the moderpsystem of electioneering, requiring the expenditure of largesums of money, were done away with. What becomes of the hun- dreds, thousands, and tens and hundreds of thou- sands collected over the country for such pur- poses? Some of it goes legitimately to pay for printing and the use of teams on election day ; the rest for the most part to the keepers of grog shops; and to persons hired to play the rowdy ruffian for the occasion, or who profess to be able to influence the votes of rowdy ruffians or others equally unfit to exercise the right of suffrage intelligibly and conscientiously. In Virginia, and south of that State, the use of party funds for any such purpose is compar- atively unknown. One consequence of that state of things is evident in the universally ad- mitted fact that the odor of corruption in pecu- niary legislation has never yet attached itself dircetly or indirectly to the skirts of any one honored with a seat in Congress from either of these States. When candidates for office are expected to buy votes even indirectly, with money, it is not wonderful that they soon come to see no wrong in buying nominations; nor any in selling their official integrity now and then, after election. These remarks are applicable to Northern politics without distinction of party, we fear, to a greater or less extent. It is to be hoped and prayed that we may never see in a newspaper a public call made on any party at the South to “pony up’’ in view of the requirement of a fund in advance for electioneering purposes.

The only excuse for such presents is aunibilated before the fact—which is not generally known in the States, but of which I am assured on compe- tent authority—that most Indians prefer the bow and arrow to the rifle fur killing buffalo. The Department ought also to consider whether strin- gent measures are not demanded to prevent the sale of guns and ammunition t the Indians by In my opinion, such sales ought to be treated as acts accessory to murder, especially in Al- though the retreat of the Cheyennes southward to the region of the Camanches has cleared the this Autuinn, it 10 have been long in service on the plains, that a larger force than ever will be demanded next year to operate against them, when they will probably be joined in arms with the latfér powerful tribe.

To us, this is a sign of remarkable popular content- ment with the existing state of public affairs. It tells truly the story of the satisfaction of the country with the acts and the policy of the pres- ent National Administration, as far as the for- mer have developed the latter. The fangs of factious opposition have so soon been drawn, there being literally nothing into which they may strike rankling poison. This state of things is one of the reasons why so many Dem- ocrats are beginning foolishly to plague them- selves already over the question of the succes- sion—that apple of discord which it is the duty of all sincere members of the Democratic party organization to keep out of their midst as long as possible, if they would prevent the opposition from eventually obtaining a standpoint from which to contend with advantage. Navat Courts or Ixquiny.—Before Court No. 1, to-day, the defence in the case of Lieut. George R. Gray was read by Mr. Blount, his counsel; and then, owing to the absence of material witnesses, the pending case of Mr. March was temporarily postponed, and that of Lieut. James M. Watson (furloughed) was taken up. No progress had been made in it, however, up to noon. Before Court No. 2, in the case of Lieut. Chas. Hunter, much documentary testimony was adduced and read to-day, and a medical survey was ordered upon him, the examining board consisting of Surgeons Woodworth and McClelland and Assistant Surgeon Landsdale, who were engaged at noon in making the sur- vey ordered. Before Court No. 3, (Commodore Storer being still absent from sickness,) the case of Lieut. Glasson was continued to-day. Commodores Stringham and Kearney, Capt. Tatnall and Commander Mason were severally examined on Mr. G.’s behalf. Honor To an Awerican.—We hear that the Emperor Louis Napoleon not long since caused an inquiry to be made of Minister Mason, whether this Government would permit Lieut. Maury, U. 8.

M.'s position in the public service can receive a testimonial from a foreign Government.

These sales, in California, will take place during the month of May next, and in Missouri and Minnesota in March next. APPOINTED BY THE PrResipENT.—A. M.

A few minutes after the assembling of the Court, the prisoner Jas. P. Donnelly, was placed atthe bar. He isa fine looking young man; was dressed in a black suit; is rather above the ordi- nary height. He looks le, but ap to be tfectly composed. Gnattiving within the bar soe ‘was an affectionate meeting between the prisoner and his father, Peter Donnelly, and Mrs. Cousins and Miss Donnelly, his sisters, who are present at the trial. The prisoner then took a seat the table occupied by his counsel, A. C. McLane, Esq., of Freehold, assisted tg Heaton P. Bradly and George Pennington of Newark. The State is re; nted by G. Joel Parker, Pros- ecutor of the Pleas, and the Hon. Wm. L. Day- ton. Attorney General. The Court was not occupied over an hour in impanneling the jury. There were twenty-one challenges. After the jury had been impanneled the Prosecuting Attorney, Mr. Parker, addressed. the jury as follows: The indictment just read Horm that on the first day pelos ea last, the defe t, James P. Donnelly murdered Albert 8. Moses, at a place within the jurisdiction of this Court, and it is for ‘ou, under the obligation of an oath to inquire, Daanine, and by your verdict say, whether that charge is sustained by evidence. This is indeed asolemn duty—this an important trust. Approach its performance, therefore, gentlemen with every unwarranted sympathy excinded, with every feeling of rejudice entirely eradicated from the mind. At the very threshold of this investi- gation the thoughts of each one should be turned within, to ascertain that the weaeragined tologae 4 free and open to receive the impress of truth. It is truth, and truth alone, we seek. The prisoner at the bar is a stranger. He has, probably. never before looked upon the face of a single one of you who have now in keeping his life. 1 know that with ge this will not preju- dice his case. God forbid that the State should ask a Monmouth County Jury to disregard the stranger's rights. But while the stranger is en- titled to the protection of our laws it must also be remembered that he is subject to the ually with ourselves nalty of their violation, whatever that penalty might be. It is my province, zen- tlemen, in opening the case, to state as briefly as So in general terms, the substance of he facts we expect to prove. We shall ce evidence bearing upon the motive. Although it is not necessary to discover the motive when thecrime is proved, yet the mo- tive, when discovered, often sheds a flood of light upon the whole transaction. We will prove that on Wednesday, the 29th day of July, a gen- tleman deposited With the defendant, who was book-keeper and clerk of the ‘Sea View House,” the sum of 3100, until he should return from New York on Saturday, the Ist of August; that instead of aeleg | this money in the safe, defendant had it upon his person, used it, lost more than half of it in gaming with Moses on Friday night, and that Saturday morning, the Ist of August, found Donnelly a defaulter, an embezzier, a ruined man unless the money be forthcoming when the owner arrived. The telegraph was at hand—his dis- charge from employment and the reason therefor would ina moment flash along the wires—the press of the Empire city would transmit the news of bis disgrace to every point of a widely-extend- ed acquaintance, to every one united to him by the ties of friendship or of blood. The choice was between the certainty of exposure of a lesser crime and the chance of not being discovered in the commission of a greater, and that choice was to be made quickly. Between the hours of tive and six on the morn- ing of the Ist of August last the inmates of the Sea View House, at the Highlands, in this coun- ty, were aroused by the fearful cry of murder. A man in his night-clothes, covered with blood, ‘was seen in one of the halls as in pursuit of some one who had escaped reeling for a shorttime from exhaustion, and then hastening to reach his bed, which proved a bed of death. The proprietor of the house was soon at bis side; be found Albert S. Moses weltering in his blood, with a ghastly and fatal wound upon his neck, of which he shortly died. No weapon could be found. The wound was of such a natare and in such a Pposi- tion as to forbid the IP agee gs that it was self- inflicted. The fatal stab had been given by the hand of another, and that recently, for the currerit of life was still flowing out with fearful rapidity. The murderer had just left. The footprints of his crime were fresh. Where had he fled? Guilt drives the assassin from his victim, gives fleei- ness to the step, terror to the countenance, trem- bling to the limbs, unnerves the whole man. Conscience makes cowards of us all. Guided by this index of crime, you would rea- sonably expect the State to present before you evidence that immediately after the murder the guilty person fled from the scene of blood. This We expect todo. We shall prove to you, gentle- men, that while the cry of murder was yet re- sounding through those halls, the defendant was seen in the utmost trepidation running from the house. His flight is for a moment stopped by th, the proprietor, who vainly endeavors to ascertain the cause of alarm Donnelly stands before him with quivering frame. Wesxhall then follow him in his flight from where Smith leaves him, to a building in the rear of the kitchen, where a quantity of worthless money he wax known to have, is found—thence to the east of the back building, where he picks somethinz from the ground, and scaling a fence upon the eastern boundary of the premises, we see him ope down Schenck’s line to a plank walk below the hill, and thence toward the river. We shall follow him, step by step, fvom the time Smith met him ruaning from ibbhooss whilethe ery of murder was still ringing io bis ears, until Martha O'Neil loses sight of him below the bill by the river side. We shell prove his conduct upon returning, his change of dress, his delay in entering the room of the dying man, his agitated appearance, his strange expression and guilty conduct before reason had time to resume her sway, and self-possession was recovered. We shall also, Seer inquire by the proof for the weapon that did the deed. It was done by a dirk, or some such instrument. We will show to you that the same person who was seen in pd flight, as soon as the fatal blow was struck, was the owner of a weapon that would inflict the wound. ‘Two days before the murder Donnelly had the dirk. 1t was not in his posses- sion after he returned to the house, su’ uent to the murder. It has never been found nor ac- counted for. ‘These are, in substance, the cir- cumstances of the » the proof of which we expect to produce. There are also other facts that time will not permit me to mention in detail, which, together with the declarations of the ac- cused, nt to the same conclusion. But our Proof does not stop here. Besides the evidence of circumstances, we shall tes direct proof. ‘The victim was permitted to live long enough to give the history of the deed. He saw the assas- sin as he left the room—he followed him into the hall—he knew him—he recognized him. Upon his dying bed he makes a disposition of bis prop- erty—he declares his belief that he is about to die and appear before his God, and under these sul- emn circumstances, when all hope of life had gone, he names the mau who cut bis throat. It ‘was the same man whom we will prove had the motive—the man who had the weapon—the very man who, a moment after the first act of the tragedy, had been seen in tlight—and almost with his dying breath, exclaimed + Donuelly did it,” “Donnelly cut my throat,” ‘Donnelly, the bookkeeper, murdered me.’?
