After waiting some time and nothing being heard from toe jury the judge again retired to his privateroom. The <rowd still lingered about the room, it being understood that the,Court would wait until 10 o'clock fora verdict. Soon some candles were brought in and lighted, there being no gas fix- tures in the room. Around the room there ‘were groups of persons discussing tbe proba bility of a verdict. trict Attoraey Carring- ton. Assistant District Attorney Wilson, Messrs. Bradley and Merrick, the defendant's counsel, were present daring the evening At p.m. it was gard that bedding bad been sept for for the jurors, and then it was believed there would be no verdict. At 10 o'clock Judge Fisher entered the room ard took his seat upon the beaen, and was intormed by one of the bailiffs that there was 20 prospect for the jury to agree. No recess Wits ordered. but it was understood that there would be no one to receive the verdict until ten o'clock this morning, and the crowd soon withdrew. The pale hight in the jury room 43d story, east wing,) drew theattention of all, and Various were the conjectures as to how: the jury the prospect of a verdict, &c. At il o’clock the Uourt House was deserted, And uot alight was visible except from the ‘Window of the room occupied by the jury. Surratt was not in court last evening, it having been decided not to bring him from the jail unless the jury should announce they ‘were ready to render a verdict. It will be remembered that the 12th juror was sWorn in the case on Saturday. thesth of Jane, at 10 o'clock p. m., and the rumors last even- ing as to the probability of the case ending at the same hour were numero During the evening the crowd about the City Hall was very large, the steps of the por- tcO were covered with persons, two-thirds ot whom were colored. all anxiously waiting to hear the verdict. When Judge Fisher en- sered the room at 1) o'clock, a general rush was made for the court-room to heard what transpired. it being thought bathe would send up forthe jury. 0-Day.

District Attorney Carrington and the connsel-for defense are about the building. Of course the subjee: of conversation is the Probability of a verdict to-day, but little ts said as 10 how the jury stands. The many rumors out yestesday'and Inst evening as to the number for and agaicst acquittal have ceased, and the only opinion now expressed is that there will be no verdict. No communi- cation with the jury is allowed, and they are Jocked im the rooin with Messrs. Koss and Hugbes, (the bailiffs,) at the door.

Yesterday, a jury, which had Previously been summoned, performed the duty of go- ing over certain ands within the limits of the District onthe line of the proposed Me- trepohtan Branch Railroad to the Point of Rocks, to condemn such parts as willbe neces- sary for the road. At nine o'clock Deputy Marsbal Phillips had a large omnibus, drawn by six horses, ready, and in a little time he, with Mr. W. S. Cox. resident coansel for the railroad company; Mr. Norris, forall the own. ers, (exeept Messre. McGuire, Berry. aad Mrs. Gales) and others, took their seats in the buss, while Mr.G.S. Koontz. the agent of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company, and Mr. James Lingno Randolph, Survey- or of the Company, followed in a carriage. The ‘buss proceeded out North Capitol street, and on the boundary line Messrs. David McCleltand and Z. D. Gilman were added to the load; and a short distance far- ther Messrs. David Moore and W. M. Emmert Were taken up. The party proceeded out past Soldiers’ Home and up the Rock Creek Ohurcn Toad to within a mile of the District line, where the work of condemnation was to commence. It was not necessary for the party to go far- ther, for the owners of the property beyond— Mrs. Mary Jones, Themas Jones, Mr. Shoe- maker, Mr. Grammer, Mr. Cockerill, and Mr. Burr—had previously made an agreement with the company. The following twenty gertlemen were pres- ent. and from this list during the day four were stricken off by the company and four by tne owners, the remaining twelve being the jury in each case:—Thos. Blagden, D. Moore, Wai. Emmert, Enos Ray, Z. D.Gilman,@ H. Plan Archibald White, John Litue, C. O'Hare, F. Matingly. J. C. Lewis, John Saul. David Me- Cleliana, John Brown. John W. Ray, W. B. Bell, John H. McChesney, Wm. Uammack, Asa Wbitney, and B.T.Swart. Some of these gentlemen were mounted, others in buggies, And others still on “shank’s mare,” (foot: back,) and the assemblage presented, when a number of the owners and neighbors joined, quite a variegated appearance. Mr. W. Viers Bouic. the company’s counsel in Montgomery, was also present. At the place ot beginning, on a small tract of | IS% acres, belonging to Mre. Tarner, a j was struck and sworn “justly to damages to the owner or owners of the land”: and Mr. Randolph, the engineer, was sworn, and pointed out the centre of the road, marked by stakes. In this case these stakes were but a few yards east of tbe Rock Ureek Church Toud, and the road beyond runs parallel with it fur some distance. On Mrs. Turner's lot a | deep cut (24 feet) will be made, which will cutoff an acre from the corner The amount re- quirea by the railroad company is something feet on either side of the stakes, Mr. Ran- dojph stated that 11 was the policy of the Company io give as mach accommodation as pessible to the people im the county. and that the accommodation trains would stop at all | crossirgs of the public roads. although the first regular station north of Washington would beat Biuir's gate, beyond the District live.

On the north partof the tract there will be 12 feet filling, and on the south 165 feet, but for most of the di: tance across the tract but little entting or fillil will bereguired. The roid from this place rans upon a second small tract of Mr. Bladen's, where there will be 15 feet of filling and 6 feet of cutting required: and striking north and east of Mrs. Turner’s house, takes off about bali an acre from ber ten acre lot, deside the amount required for the read—§9-i60 of acre, With @ 27-foot cut. Mr. Henry Martin’s farm of $5 acres comes next, the line striking his | gute and passing across the farm to the south- | ern portion, where a filling of 27 feet will be required. The road runs trom Mr. Martin's | | through the farm of Mr. S. stot’, passing betweeen his house and sarn by an 1+-foot cut. and alternate cutting and filling will be re- gutred on his land. The company will require 43, Acres of his 102 acres forthe parposes of the road. | When this place was reached, a storm ap- | peared to be approgcking, and it was decided | to remain nesr shelter fora time. Col. Phil- | lips, however. thought while waiing that re- | | i | tresbments might be acceptable, aud accord- | ingly invited the company to go the omnivus, | which bad been driven aronnd the ruad to the tront of the house, when a large and be _utiful | bam was produced, with “fixins” to match, | making a very acceptable treat after the exer- | cise of hunung for stakes and jumping fences. | During this halt the views of sume of the own- | +rs of the land were given asto the rod, come | of them being of the primitive order. Some | great bardsbip that the road must | go across the country throngh valuuble as- | | | paragus beds; others objected that it woutd be & cow trap, and that the horses and cows would be ail Killed up by it. 1t wus also said tbat tbe company Bad not treated the couaty fairly in not locating a depotin its limits Hon.

Murphy's land, tarouzn | which the road passes after leaving Mr. Stoti’s. On this place of 75 acres, of which 3; will be | needed by the company, tuere is 4 feet cutting | in some places and 4 feet filling in others, and | across the road between Marphy’s and Wilt- berger’s there is $7 feet of filling. Returning to | Mr berger’s they followed the stakes (mai. | ing the line of the road) within a hundred yards | of the front of bis house, where there will be a | cut of 20 feet. Farther on there will be filling of 16 feet, and in the bill on bis place a cut of 44 feet. Mr. Wiltberger’s farm nas and the road will take 4 acres Here the rain came up and a charge was made on the omuidus in which all baud- vailed on to give some interesting reminiscences of “running lines,” aud Coloael Patltips was kept busy in declining to exercise his fine voice musically, the requests om him being quite trequent. Atter the rain had hela vp somewhat It was decided to proceed by omui- bos to the vext place, Mr. Henry Queeu’s, and the buss started, but @ neavy shower came up which Crenched tho-eon the windward side of the buss, but before any one was drowned the buss reached Mr. Quesn’-, and the party Tan pell-mell into the house for shelter. Mr. (Queen here agreesbiy surprised the company by # bountiful collation, to which fall justice Was done. After this second shower wa:uver the jury went to the line of the road, through Mr. (Queen's farm, (which numbers 158 acres, of which the road will requires.) and foand it to run directiy through his orchard. a snort distance west of his house. Tnrouzh the great- er portion of Mr. (Queen's aud there will be butlittle cutting or filling, but at the southern e-4 there will be 16 feet to il. Proceeding along the road, tu the bus:, a jury wasempanelied on Mr.G. W. Talbot's laud. The road, it was stated, would come on At with 16 feet filling, and after a cut of 6 or7 fee! leaving it at the tarnpike. The Talbott farm has 20 acres, of which two will be re- quired by the road. This place haviog been examined the company again took the buss, aud after a full snd free discussion on the question “To go ahead, or adjourn till Fri day!” on which the company were about di- vided, Cel. Phillips took the responsibility and ordered @ forwsra movement. and the party soon reached Ool. Brook's door, where a halt was made until the shower was over. when @ jury wassworn which went out upon the ground, finding the line of the road to pass about $0 yurds west of the house, with au average cut of about 12 feet, taking in another valuable asparagus bed. ‘The buss was next headed for Berry's estate, and following in the wake were a dozen otuer icles, in one of which was Mr. W. 1). Dav- idge, who appeared for the Berry estate. The road sirikes this estate on the lot of Mr. Ma- guire, which it enters by a ten-foot cut, and leave: with @ five-foot cut. It theu proceeds down a run in which there is @ little filling, then a three-foot cut, five-foot out, and through several bills, making ents of fitteen or twenty feet necessary, taking from the 330 acres of the estate in tel per quarters of a mile) 84 acres. The road passes dowa the bed of the streem into Gales’, about, two hundred yards east of the Berry mansion; and for the gratifie cation of Sunday schools, who have for many years been holding pic-nica om the place, we would state that the usual pic-nic grounds are to remain undisturbed.

Bradley and Carlisie, ‘Were not present, but Medias fo strackand the ground was examin: ‘his place num- Drs 131% acres, of which 6% acres will be re- gpired.’ Mr. Randolph pointed out the loca- {10n of the road. about 2U0 yards east of the house, on which forsome distance there {s 11 feet to fill, for a short distance: 3 feet entting ior about 100 feet; and 2 feet cutting for over ) feet. Mr. Randolph, the engineer, here announced that the labors of the jury were. compiet=d, and pointed out on Delaware avenue the two cuts which had been made; and also stated that shortly @ temporary track will be: con- structed, on which will be placed an engtue, ‘with dirt care, which witl ‘the earth trot Berry's and beyond to be used in the filling. ‘This morning the jurors met at the Vou chamber, City Up en masse—!

Mr. Randolph ex- plained that in the estimated quantity of land Fequired, tbe base of the necessary embana- eer ana, the entire width of the cuts were in- ciuded. The counsel proceeded to open the cases in their order, arguing to show wnat damage the Toad will do to the property. ‘The road to the Point of Rocks will be 42 miles in Jengto, the distance to Rockville being about 1% miles. The road will pass between that village and the Catholic Oburch, and it is expected that to that point cars will beranning in jess than a year. The cutting and filling in Montgomery, will, we understand, be much the same as that on the line within the District. ‘The heaviest cut in the whole line is at Parr’s Ridge. and this cut is almost completed, and the filling is well nuder way. The most of the owners of , -operty in Maryland have made arrangements with the company, and conse- quently there will be but few juries of condem- nation tobesummoned. Ifan arrangement could have been made with the owners in the District, the work at this end of the road woula not have been delayed, but it is now likely that the work will be re-umed shortly, and progress rapidly toward the Point of Rocks. fee Co-oPERATIVE STORE MEETING OF CLERKS. A meeting of clerks was held at Wooaward Hall last evening. Mr. S. S. Pierson was called to the chair, and Mr. Parkman elected as secretary. Mr. L. ©. Carpenter was introduced, and stated that the call for the meeting was maue for the project of establishing a co-operative store, that the clerks and others mizht get thelr provisions cheaper tban by buying of private grocers. He had paid for his groceries 5) per cent. over and above tne actual cost of the pro- visions 48 delivered in tne city. Demonstrative of the project be went on to gives history of the first co-operative store which was estab- lished in London. Then continuing, he spoke of some that have sprang up since. There are now in alt more than 1,500 such companies which are all doing well.’ He bad known of but two stores to tail—one tor lack of conti- dence of the members, one in another; the oth- er because the stock holders were too stingy to trade there them-rlves. Heread the follow- ing estimate of the cost of conducting a co-op- erative store on a large scale here, to sell at a profit of 12 per cent:—To merchandise on hand, $0,U00; to salary of Superintendent, $1,500; to castier's salary, $1,500; porter’s sal- ary, 3500: keeping horse aud wagon, S500: Tent, 2560; freight on merchandise, $2.40: con- tingencies, $5.0, aud interest on shares, : Per cent. increase on $80,000, ). Leaving a balance disposable h making 83 of =1.600. Mr. Carpenter read what he thonght would be an appropriate consututton for the com- pany, which specitied that the shares should be putat S10,and that no man should be lowed to take out mere thun five shares. hat he could not withdraw the shares w: @ notice of three months. He estimates (bai @ business of $40.00) would be dour, mak- ng no allowance for the trade of outside par- ties. Mr. Urcssman next spoke. He had ten in the grocery business for twenty years, and bad not made bimeelf a rich man. He coudemned the credit system, saying that it was the rain ot more iban half the baukrupt grocers in the city. He was in New York ou Monday, and in’ Philadelphia on Tuesday, and could bay coffee sugar there for 16 cents. A hundred barrels could be bought from the refiner only ‘sof @ cent cheaper on the pounc. It costs more than }4 cent to get this sugar trom New York, and the same sugur could be purchescd Jor i634 cents upon the avenue. He would bet that hulf of those present owed their groecr: [A genera; laugh.] ‘The grocers, as a whol: were not a set ot swindlers, aud were not wntagonism with the cierks. If the clerks would not pay bim, he would shut up shop znd get aclerksbip. ‘He enumerat d may of the difficulties attending the grocery bu: i of which the want of facilities tor delivering the eroceries were not the least. Mr. Carpenter rose and replied to the remarks of Dir. Crossman, inily denouncing the credit sysiem. : Mr. Pierson said that if the instit ion in- | tended to sell liquor, he would give it no countenance. Bur (0 liquor was sold, there ‘would be no necessity of 20 large a capital. Mr. Carpenter said that it was not considered @ legitimate branch of a grocers business to sell liquor any wbere but in Washington Mr. McElwain offered a resolution decia-ing tbat steps should be taken by this meeting to establish in this city & co-operative store, (wherein no intoxicating liquors shall ba soid,) jor the benefit of the stockholders, aud that @ committee of twelve be appoiated to solicit subscriptions in the Depariments and else- where: which was passed The followicg were appoirted as the com- mitiee, with power to fill the existing yacan- cies:—Capt.

Crossman, at large; Mr. | Ausiin, of the Navy Depariment: Mr. Grage and Mr. 0. H. Goidin, of the Quariermaster General's Office. After which the meeting adjourned. ae a THE Seep or STHaM1OaTS.—A warrant was issued some days avo against Capt D. J. Holl, of the steamer Georgiana, for running ai @ speed of over eight miles per hour on the ugth of Jul: fbe case came up for # heiring betore Justice Tuck-r, at the lth precinctsta- uon, last Tuesday. The evidence of Charles Wilson, Esq., was to the effect tha: the distance trom a poimt near the Ge orgiana’s wharf to the point is, by For- rythe's measurement, exactiy a taile,and that be, with Captain Fawkes, stood on the shore on the day named and timed the steamer, and her rate of speed was considerably over eight miles per hour. The pilot andengine*r both testified to the general practic» of keeping the boat within the rate required by law, but on the occasion referred to they had not noted the ume. ‘The Justice, being anxious to have an uu- derstanding of the law, reserved his decisici. The question presented is whether the ‘aw conumplates the state mile or the nanti- eal. The Justice thongnt that ait acts ot the uncils concerning the measurement of tances aliudes only to the statute mule: but ‘was willing to inquire as to the facts of tne case. TuB RiGRT To RULE Tria nesday Atternoon Alfred Carter and George Fitzaugh were pliced on trial before Justicg Tucker, in conduct. An application was made to remove the case to the next nearest Justice for trial. The Justice Teguired an affidavit according to law, which provides that the applicant shall make oath that be «does not believe that the said Justice will give him a fair and impartial trial on ac- count of prejudice or other cause.” Fitzhugh said he didnot know Jastice Tackeratall, aud Carer would not swear that the Justice would not give him a fuir trialon accountof preju. dice, but candidiy remarked that he would ratner be triea before any other magistrate. ‘The oath was not administered, and the Jus- tice tried the case, and the evidence not being sufficient to sustain the charge it was dismissed. The Justice takes the position that the law does not give the right to move the case for any frivolous excuse or none atall, but only on account of “prejudice or other reasonable cause.” Many cases are sought to be moved because the applicant fears that justice will Tesult from a fair and impartial trial. —— Free DEPARTMENT.—On Monday night, at the meeting of the Fire Commissioners, the committee appointed previous meeting, to investigate charges preferred against Phillip Erte], bostler of No. 2 steamer, reported sus. taining the charges and he was dismissed. Samuel Dawes was appointed to fill the vacancy. John M. Moulder, supernumerary of No. 2, was dropped from the roll for conduct unbecoming a member, and Augustus Seitz was appointed to the vacancy. The resi; uations of John Smoot, as fireman, John Rey- nolds, extramen, aud John Reed, super- numerary, were received and accepted. E. B. Gatton, (hostler,) was appointed fireman, and Mick Kane, hoster, Conrad Kaufman, extra- men. and Noble Barsatt. supernumerary. Joehua A.

She will appear thia evening, at 7x o'clock, in Iront of the Post Office. The advocates and friends of the Good Old Lady are invited to attend.” ‘There were not a very large number present, however. probably on account of the short Bouce. The meeting was called to order by Mr. Savage. who sang a temperance song; after which he proceeded to speak of the cop duct of the Germans in insulting so large a number of native-born citizens as now belonged to Ihe temperance organizations. Instead of those at the Schutzenfest saying that tempe- rance is dead, they should look at the prozress of the caure, and he would say that it ts not improbable that a prohibitory liquor law will be passed by the next Congress. Congress, 100, will see that the enforcement of this Ia is placed in tbe herds of temperance men; unlike some of the police, who wink ata vio- Jation of the Sunday law. He charged that many places south of the avenue, between th and 15th streets, were places of doab:ful char- acter, and yet iney were licensed. As to tem- prrance being dead, there are now nincteen ) visions of the Sons of Temperance, a dozen Lodges of Good Templars, and other organizations who hold meetings of a very in- teresting character, where the members can take their wives, sweethearts, and dangNters, and spend a pleasent ‘ime, without any danger of their minds becoming perverted as would be the danger if they attended the Schutzen The Press he was sorry to say, was ina great measure opposed to the temperance movement as could ue seen by the frequent paragraphs. that the prohibitory law was not enforced. That was no kind of argument with him, to say the law is not enforced, becanse some few obtain liquor. It mizht as well ve said that the Jaw against murder is notenforced because now and then that crime is committed. There wa:a great contest pending, and tbe Germans had piaced them-elves on side not only again.t temperance, bat egatnst re- ligion, ana they say upon ‘heir monument, “we are temperate, but not hypocrites.” Why certain lady who lives over the canal, may ‘well pot ont her sign, “we are virtuious bat not hypocrites.” Mr: Savage was applanded at tne close of his remarks, and some one :icross the street sang out ‘come over and take adrink !”’ to wnich he answered ‘come over and take the pledge.”” Mr. McPheeters followed Mr. Savage taking the grouud that it was the duty of temperance men to reprove all persons engaged as were the parties at the scene of deoauch at the hed of 7th street and spoke of some of them having allowed a child to get etapidly drank. ‘The contest was to come and the best place to Meet it is at the ballot box. Mr. W.G. Finney and Mr. Drew also ad- dressed the meeting. Mr. Savage bere gave an invitation to par- ties to sign the pledge and was greeted by cries trom the opposite side ofthe street to “come and iake a drink.” to which he replied as before by asking for signers and .everal persons came up aud signed their names. the only light being that of tne moon and the ge~ jamps at Schwing’s restaurant opposite. One of the signers sang a temperance song. Mr. Savage gave notice that there would be a meeting at the same place on Satarday night and asthe Schuetzentest would be over then he hoped to have a larger attendance. poset ‘Tux Riven Foyt, AvGust s, 667.—1Quiet still prevaiis along the + river froui, bata few flapping 5: “ice give promise ug up ere the dawn of another day.
