Charles Irwin was examined in Telation to the business conducted by his de- partment. W. McKay Hoge, formerly clerk in Captain Irwin's office, and subsequently at the corral, under Mr. Bruner, was next called. He testi- fied that he had given one false receipt to Wm. Davis for between twenty-five and fifty mules; three or four to John Henaerson, one amount- ing to $22,000 or $23,000; one to W. KR Brice, and one to Daniel Henderson. He believed youch- ers were issued on each of the false receipts given. He stated that he gave receipts for 223,000 to Isham Henderson, at Henderson's request, and gave him receipts at different times; and he always insisted on witness giv- ing him receipts for more mules than were re- ceived. He also stated that Henderson told him it was honorable to defraud the Govern- ment of large amounts, but contemptible to cbeat the Government out of small sums. Wit- ness reeeived for issuing the false receipts to Henderson $10,000. Propositions to issue false receipts were stated by the witness to come from Mr. Henderson. False receipts were also given to Dayid Henderson, of Nashville, and N.R. Boyce, of Danville, Ky., the former for $12,000, and the latter for several Mg) eben g small amounts. From David Henderson, through another party, named Geo. Barber, witness received $4,000, and from Boyce $2,(0. The witness’ highest salary while employed as clerk in the department was $S0 per month. He stated that he frequently gave receipts for mules without seeing them or ascertaining their number. The witness stated that Bruner had loaned him 36.000 at his request, to cancel & mortgage on his father’s estate. The testi- mony of the witness entirely exculpated Bra- ner from any complicity in the issuing of fraudulent receipts, he having kept carefully concealed from him any knowleage of the transactions he had been engaged in, and that fo talse receipts had ever been given by him with Bruner’s. knowledge or consent at the corral of the (uartermaster's Department. He (witness) issued receipts to contractors simply on their verbal statements. 7A humbug, calling himself Col. Hawkins, is circulating in California. He says Jeff.

LOCAL NEWS. MEETING OF THE DEMOCKATIC AssocI\. Tion—They Decide Not fo Run @ Municipal Democratic Ticket.—On Saturday evening a meeting of the Jackson Democratic Associae tion was held at German Hall. on 11th street, at which the attendance was much larger than atthe previous meeting, about fifty persons being present. Col. Florence, in the absence of the presi- dent, calied the meeting to order. and on his motion, Mr. Alexander Ruthertord was called to the chair, and John D. Bloor elected secre- tary, (the secretary of the association also being absent.) Mr. Aiken stated that at the last meeting a resolution be bad offered was adopted request- ing ward meetings to be held for electing dele- gates toa convention to nominate a candidate for the Mayoralty. tHe would now move that the vote by which the resolution was adopted be reconsidered. The motion was seconded by Mr. Mead. Col. Florence said that while he agreed with the reasons for the cause which had no doubt induced this motion, he would have preferred that the reasons shonid be stated to the meet. ing. He understood that it was the intention, atter a reconsideration of the vote, to move to jay the resolution on the table. He supposed it was feared that the resolution would cause Adivision among the friends of the Adminis- tration, The motive was a good one, but the people shonid know the reasons. He clesired a8 union of Conservative and Democratic men upon the subject of the next election. It was asserted that the present incumbent of the mayoralty was a conservative man, and that he was a strong candidate. In deference to that assertion he would be willing to unite upon him or any one else if it was the wish of the people. The motion of Mr. Aiken was adopted. Mr. Aiken explained his motives, com- mencing by reviewing the course of the Demo- cratic party, arguing that the course of the party had been consistent. Mr. Johnson's administration is ke o-hers; every hey could not indorse, but his great measure, the restoration policy, they heartily approved of. He did not wisk to do anything that would place the association in antagonism or seem- ingly in antagonism with the President or those who support him. Washington has an influence on other parts of the country, and Public opinion being molded by what is done in Washington, they did not desire that an im- pression should go forth that there was a divi- sion among the supporters of the President at the capital. And if there was a division defeat would be certain. Loving the party as they did, he believed. for the purposes stated, they would forego their party preferences as far as the next municipal election was concerned. Captain Gary tollowed, stating that although he had voted tor the resclution he thought it ill advised, for the party would be beaten if they entered the contestas a party. He had heard several names mentioned in connection With the office, and it had been said, by parties outside, that the associstion was being used as # tool to defeat the friends of President John- son. lt was no time tomake & party nomina- tion and he intended to vote for Richard Wal- lach, the friend of Andrew Johnson, who has been weighed im the balance and not found wanting. Mr. Duffey said that the object of the motion Was to sustain Richard Wallach. Mr. Schmidt said he wasa personal friend of the Mayor but could not see that the resolu- tion stood in the way. After some other debate the resolution calling & nomination convention was iaid on the table. Dr. Clayton offered the following : Wheress the Conservative Democratic party of the city ot Washington is unwilling to di- vide the Conservative Johnson voters of said city, when it is so important for them to work together in harmony, in order to sustain the President in his restoration policy: Therefore, Resolved, That the Democratic Association of this city declines to nominate a party eandi- date for Mayor at our next annual election, on the first Monday in June next. Resolved, That we have full confidence in the ability and conservatism of Richard Wal- jach, our present Mayor, and we do therefore unanimously recommend him as a candidate for re-election as Mayor at our next election. Atthis time Mr. J. D. Hoover entered the room, and Mr. A. Dodge moved to inserf the name of Mr. Hoover in the resolutions in the place of Mr, Wallach. Mr. Hoover said that it was proper for him to state that he bad not songh: the nomination nor authorized the use of his name in connec- tion with the office. What he had said in reference to the subject was that if the people deemed it necessary to rnn an opposition can- didate then he would consent to the use of bis name. The office possessed no attractions for him, political or otherwise, and would rather his name shonid not be used in the ring. Mr. Dodge said be unaerstood that the meet- ing was a Democratic one, and he did not in- tend to vote for any one but a Democrat. He insisted that the name of Mr. Hoover should be inserted in the resolution. If the associ- ation is going down. let's go down with colors flying. [Peter O' Day—Hurr-a-a-a-a') Dr. Clayton proceeded to address the meet- ing on hi® resolution, and asked if it wonld be justifiable to run & party ticket—the Demo- cratic party cannot carry the election. M: Wallach has been Mayor four years, and is good man, and as for politics here, there has been and is now a Wailach party, and it is large, for Mr. Wallach is gts ular man, Pleasing everybody. If Mr. aliach is re- elected his term will expire in the June pre- vious to the next Presidential election, and the influence of the success of the party would tell directly on that election It wasa ques- tion of policy withhim.

SouTHERN METHODIST CoNPERENCE—Reso- lutions Inviting Northern Agiliation Adepted.— This Conference, in session at New Orleans, spent two days on the case of Rev. G. F. Dag- get, who appeals trom the decision of the Vir- ginin Conference. The decision of said Oon- terence was sustained. The Bishops’ characters were taken up, and their conduct in the discharge of their duty for the teight years was indorsed. The book committee failed to agree, and two la were submitted in reference to the pub- lishing Louse, the subject of introducing dis- trict conferences into the church, etc. The committee on correspondence made a report, and the Conference adopted the fol- Jowing: “Reselved, That the Methodist Church South stands this day, Per ae always stood, ready and willing to consider, with Curistian candor, any unequivocal and scriptural overtures for sympathy, and fellow- ship which may be tend her by any body of aeatene im their general representative capacity. “Resolved, That the General Conference most Warmly reciprocates the fraternal creetings and expressions of Christian dove. borne from the Christian Union of Lilinois, ‘by their mes- ‘senger, Rev.

We bave seen the murderer Probst im his cell in Moyamensing, before the inquest beid over the remains of his victims, before the Court of Quarter Sessio ——— he was ar- Taigned upon the charge of murder. Vrobst sad, at his last Interview with Chief Franklin, that he would welcome the hour that brought bis execution. He is dragging out bours of unutterable misery. aad looks for- ward to death as 8 welcome relief He is im- prisoned in the same cell in which the mur- dererer Berger died of apoplexy. A heavy bolt ie fastened into the centre of Noor, and a cbain fastened to this clasps the murderer's Its allows bim just sufficient room to | cB @ mattraes which is his bed, and to rea. to tbe loop-hole im the door from which he re- ceives food. 3 He still adheres to his original statement that he bed an accomplice in the murders. Onief Franklin bas — only scoured Philadelpnia but New York also, in pursuit of the man he describes. The search proved wholly in vain; and from the Christian gentiemen who ministers to him, the pastor of the Roman Catbolic Cnarch, at the corner of Fourth and Reed streets, to the Chief of Police and the Mayor of the city. no one having cognizance of the case credits one word that the murderer utters. And yet he puts the question shrewdly. “I know,” he says, “tbat ] must be hung. | would gladly step outot this cell, shake off tnese gy ves And be bung to-morrow. I killed the boy Cor- rrlins Garey. and | held Dearing’s horse while ‘Jake’ killed bim and bis wife's niece. Of course, [must be hung: but,” he insists, «I didnt touch a hair of the children’s head, and ‘Jake’ promised that the baby and the elder children sbould suffer no harm.” ~Horrible ~ says the wretched assassin, “haunt ght. lean see them all lying within coffins.” The physician of the prison has ad- ministered to the wretch the most powerful snodynes and opiates. He seldom sleeps for one full bour during the night, and then en- dures the pangs of eternal perdition, and sees the phantoms of his murdered victims. The Christian priest, who has undertaken to pre- pore b for death—Father Grunder—it is scarce necessary to say. discredits his story. The miserable man wrote yesterday a letter to bis parents in Germany, biddu them a final adieu, confessing the crime of murder, and begging their forgiveness. The Jeter will be forwarded according to his directions; but its contents, except as far as the confession goes, are evidently a tissue of falsehoods. Chief Franklin and his detectives have the entire bistory of the man from the time he was mustered out of the army Was engaged py Mr. Deering he bas six times “jumped the bounty entered the army three weeks after landing in the country; and that each time he cheated the Government, be made his headquarters and spent bis money at a German brothel in New York. Every movement that he made is now known. The people with whom he asso- ciated in these dens of infamy, whether males or females, have w flea to what they knew concerning him. The seal of Cain on his forehend has been many times exhibited since Chief Franklin undertook the task of learning bis history. The Cononer's jnry rendered a verdict charg- ing him with the whole of the eight murders. When we remember that Mrs. Deering, in two morths more, would again have been a mother, the eight murders are mcreased to nine. The Grand Jury indicted him as solely guilty of the enure massacre. The District Attorney. rejecting as false the entire story of the prisoner, will try him for tne entire butchery There was put into his cell the other day a man with manacies upon his wrists. He played the part of a sentenced murderer. To him Probst admitted that he got a thousand dollars trom the murdered family. He did net say what bad become of the money. Wh has become of what he did obtam will pro’ ably be never known. Penniless and miser- able, it Wa supposed that Probst. on the night that be was arrested, was wending his way to the almshouse, of which he had before been an inmate. He was a vagabond by nature, anc the commission of murder in no case al- tered his instincts Nearly ali the articles stolen from the Deer- ing bomestead b: been recovered. Those sull missing are a cavalry revolver of large size, a2 small silver lepine watch, with one band broken off, and which it was known was offered ior sale in the neighborhood of Fourth and Poplar streets; two fifty dollar compound interest notes, and one twenty dollar com- pound interest note. A story was circulated on Friday to the effect tbat the missing silver watch bad been recovered. Such was not the fact. It has been traced to a female, a resident of this city, who avers that she sold it toa man who resides out of the city, eRe sence Tue Last RicnMoxpd Suootine Scrare.— The Richmond papers give the tollowing a count of the last shooting affair im that city, between Dr. T.Ciay Maddox and Mr diam Vernon.

The parties metin the street and pro- cwed to setue oe At issue with pistols, the result being a ball in the leg of the doctor near the ankle, and 4 scratch on the left hand of Vernon.

The Times says Dr. Maddox is well known in Richmond, and during the war was a sur- geon in the Confederate service. Since the surrender of Gen. Lee he removed to Alexan- oria, Virginia, where, it will be remembered, & rencontre took place between himself and Col. Dixon, during which the latter was killed. He bas recenily returned to this city and ree sumed tbe practice of his profession. Mr. Vernon is a native of Kichmond, and was at one time attached to the Confederte service. He afterwards went North, where he entered the Federal service, it is said, asa detective, which position he held till within a few months past. He is ssid to be the same part, lately engaged in a personal altercation with Colonel Braxton at the Spottswood Hotel. Both the parties have been held to bail tor ap- pearance at court. es Tue Wueat Cror.—The Prespect in the Valley of Virginia bas been greatly amproved within a short time past, and our advices trom 8 of Piedmont counties are to the same effect.
