The resolutions were presented to the Presi- dent by the Rev. Dr. Morris in a brief but ap propriate and effective speech, which was lis- tened to with the greatest attention by all pres- ent. President Johnson, in accepting the resolu- tions, tendered his profound thanks for the expressions of the church and society, and re- marked that he should be guided by the same principles of rightand justice which he had frequently publicly declared, and which laid at the foundation of all good governments, and of which religion constituted a vital and im- portant part Upon the conclusion of the President's re- mar! the members of the committee were personally introduced to him, and after a few Moments spent in social intercourse, the com- mittee retired, iety ten- DEATH SENTENCE REMITTED.

LOCAL NEWS. —_5—__—___— Tux Luspy Case—The Nol. Pros Question— Exciting Scenes in Court.—Mr. Bradley, one of the counsel for John F. Lusby, at the opening of the criminal court this morning stated to the court he was informed a bench warrant had been ordered by the court against his client on the charge of having committed a rape upon Octavia Rosseau, and it such was the case, he offered to the court to bring his client at once before him, as he was not disposed to submit him to the indignity of an arrest, as if he was skulking from justice—moreover, he conceived this warrant could not properly issue; his client having been already acquitted of the murder of Octavia Rosseau, a charge which involved substantially that for whieh the court now or- dered his re-arrest—and in this connection he reminded the District Attorney that when the verdict of the jury was rendered on Friday last of not guilty, the District Attorney had di- rected in open courta noile prosequi to be en- tered in this charge of rape, and the prisoner was not discharged until the court granted a motion by Mr. Fendall that he be discharged unless there were other charges against hin— and now at this time he called upon the Dis- trict Attorney to make good his previous order, as it a} peared the clerk had omitted to enter it on the day it was made. My. Carrington, the Distriet Attorney, said that Lusby was tried before J: udge Fisher upon ® petition for a writ of habeas corpus, for the outrage pou Octavie Rousseau, and dis- charged. I t being su; that additio: evidence was discevered apainer him, he — indicted, and after a long and carefaj investi- gation of the whole case, conducted with great ability by the councilon both sides, (1 took no part in it—the Assistant District Attorney and r. Phillips conducting it,) he was acquitted by an bonestand unusuall intelligent jury. Upon this state of facts I think it my duty to enter a nolle prosequi in the case for the fol- lowing reagans* durst.

Because one court and intelligent jury have said that he was not guilty of the murder. The man who committed the rape committed the murder. The jury, by their yer- dict, say that Lusby is not the man who com. mitted the murder, and in saying that, they by wmplication say that he is not the man who committed the rape. Third. I believe that Judge Fisher and the jury were right. Entertaining these views, I cannot conscientiously prosecute Lusby any further. But 1 understand your Honor to” bold. the opinion that the District Attorney hus not the power to enter a nolle prosequi Without permission of the Court. I regret exceedingly to differ with your honor Up. 4 question of law—I may be wrong and you may be right—1 will ask your honor to examine the law upon this subject, and I think you will find that you are mistaken. It is the duty of the prosecuting officer to p his cases and to prosecute them, and of the Court to decide the law relating to them when brought before it. ‘Phe District Attorney can and generally does conshit the Court, but the reg; ibility rests upon him to determine—and it is his daty'to dete rmine—whether or not he should prosecute a ere Suppose the District Attorney is sat- asfied that a party is innocent. Is he bound to prosecute bim agaiast bis convictions of right and justice, and urge @ jury to convict him be- cause a judgetells him todoit! Ifso, an honest man would be unwilling to hold the office of District Atiorney. I wish to do right, but 1 shall not be to do violence to my’con- science for any consideration. Your honor is doubtless aware that by a re- cent Bet of Congress it is made the duty of the Attorney General to direct and controle the U. S. Deetrict Attorneys in the discharge of their official duties. So long as that law remains upon the statute book I can recognize no other commanding officerexcept the Presidentof the United States, who is also invested by law with'cert#in powers over District Attorneys. If the Attorney General orders me to prosecute Re ape 1 will then do what I believe to be rig!

Witness said to the chambermaid that it was a wonder Miss Hattie would let him in the house, as he bad sworn to kill her.

Always sup- they could discover no mafice, and nothing upon whieh to found even a verdict of man- slaughter; bnt while so acquitting him on that cbarge have it underst, that they left the prisoner to take the consequences of the other charge ef rape. The jury might on another ground bring in a veraict of not guilty on a charge of murder, where they would not in the case of rape. By & conviction for murder the-criminal forfeited his fife, and ip such cases juries were very apt to be suspicious of circumstantial or presump- tive evidence, and not give it its proper weight, which they would in all probability do in the case of a minor offense. - The Court remarked further that it did not know 4s it ought to say anything as to what took piace in the jury box, but he felt called upon just here to censure such &n indecent exhibition as was witnessed during the trial, of the jurors in the box hissing when a witness was meking his statement by the permission of thr Court. {The scene to which the Court Nas reference occurred when Wm.

He hadon a tall biack bat, black cloth Wood was not at the time testifying, but was stating to the Court his reasons why he did not want to be put on the stand again.) The Court proceeded to express regret that he did not ckeck and punish, by a fine, the par- ties guilty of thisindecent conduct. Again, at- tacks had been made upon officers of the law, who had been doing nothing but their duty. They bad been denounced as felons and cul- rite, simply for seeking to protect their fami- ies and children, from the most borrible out rages. If this kind of denunciation was to be sustained by juries, we might as well close the doors of the Halls of Justice. The District Attorney.—I trust your Honor will not understand me as expressing the opin- jon that we have no legal right to try the pris- oner upon the otner charge against him, to wit: that ofrape. The point with me is, whetner under all the circumstances of the case, con- sulting my conscience on the subject, it would be proper to prosecute the prisoner further. Tbe Court.—l will see, Mr. Carrington, whether my conscience agrees with yours to- morrow morning. Mr. Bradley.—lf your Honor please; I am simply here in the discharge of La! 4 profession- al duty and not to answer any reflections cast u-+on me by your Honor. The Court.—No reflection, sir. Mr. Bradley.—Without saying anything on that point sir, I wish to enquire if your Honor requires that the prisoner shall be brought in and confined m prison until to-morrow! In obedience to the order of your Honor to have a Bench warrant issued, we have sent for him with a view to surrender him to the préper of- ficers. I desire him to add. however, that if he is surrendered to-day, and as your Honor has intimated you will pot be prepared to dis- ose of this motion until to-morrow, he will ave to be confined in jail, and subject to ail the inconveniences of such deprivations of his liberty until such time, at least, as this motion is disposed of, and we, therefore, wtsh to know whether there is any method which the re- quirement of the Court can be complied with without this ss agoe The Court.—No other way than for him to come on and offer to give bail. Mr. Bradiey.— Will your Honer fix the amount of bail! He is a poor man, sir. The Court.—I do not know how the prisoner is circumstanced uniarily. Mr. Bradley.—There may be some one in court who knows what his circumstances are Mr. Langley, (a juror.)—I know the fact, may it please your Honor. he Court.—How is it? Mr. Langley.—He is auite a poor man. The Court.—1 will require $2,000 bail. Mr. Bradley.—We will endeavor to secure that amount of bail, sir. The Court.—Now, Mr. Carrington, I should like to know what is the precise nature of your motion. Mr. Carrington.—I move to enter a nolle pros. in the case. Mr. Bradley.—We call upon the District At- wiper to fulfil the promise made to us on ‘riday. The Court.—If your view of your duty is cor- rect your motion is improper. You can order a nolie pros. in deflance of the wishes of the Conrt. The District Attorney.—It is generally done in open court, your Honor. The Court.—You can give your order to the clerk directing a nolle pros. © be entered, and upon that being done the Court will direct the clerk not to obey the order, and then formally dispose of the matter to-morrow morning. Mr. Bradley.—We desire that the prisoner shall have the benefit ot any technicality in this matter. We understand the order of the District Attorney will be given now as of Fri- day last. That is the time he in fact gave the order as counsel on both sides agree. ‘The Court.—No, the order cannot be so given. The record of that date does not show any such proceedings. The court is to be controlled by the record and not by the memory of counsel. Mr. Bradiey.—We claim that it was purely through a clerical omission that the motion Was not entered on Friday last. The Court.—There could be no motion made by the court which the Court did not hear. Mr. Fendall.—tI desire, if your Honor please, to make this statement, just after the verdict bad been rendered I addressed the District At- torney, and asked him if, in the other case— that of rape—a nol. pros. was te be entered | He said “ Yes;” and then, as I understood it, moy- ed the court to that effect.

She was preparing to go away Monday evening. Patrolman G. H. Walker vesutved that he went to the bouse on the information of Mr.Gurney.

Officer Holbrook testified that a few nights fgo he was called upon by some of the women who said that Farwell was on the root of the house trying to get in. Several of the witnesses testified to smelling chioroform in the room when the search were made. The testimony was here concluded and the jury rendered a verdict reciting all the facts as developed by the evidence, and that Harriet Wilkes came to her death by strangulation af- ter ether or chloroform had been administered Leg pon L. Farwell semetimes called Mr. ilkes. The jury, considering all the facts, concluded that after Britt left deceased at the door, she returned to her room. Farwell slipped in past the cook, and finding her slumbering. adminis- tered the chloroform.

Farwell is a small man, is originally from Massachu- setts, but came from Albany to this city; was at one time a entler in the army, and subse- quently kept a restaurant on D, between lth and lith streets, and attewards in the First Ward. The deceased was about 35 years of age, and has a son, 12 or 14 years old, at a boarding schoo! in New Branswick, N..J., and this morning she intended visiting him and aying in advance for his board and education. Mt is said that she was rexpectably connected, and ber relatives were notified by telegraph of the murder. The body was embalmed, and a handsome coffin was made for her under direc- tion of Mr. Harvey, undertaker: and the re- mains will be taken to the tamily residence for burial. The police have taken every means to secure the arrest of Farwell; but as yet no clue to the direction in which he left the city bas been obtained. ———_o_—__- INCENDIARY Fires.—Last night, about 1 ‘clock, an alarm of fire was struck from box 37, corner of 12th and I streets, by oflicer Ros. siter. for a Bre, discovered on 13th street, near 1, which brought out the apparatus promptly.
