LOCAL NEWS, Meeting of the Navy . ‘The members of the Conservative Army and Navy Union, which adjourned abeut two months since, subject to the call of the Execu- uve Committee, reassembled last night at the Aldermen's Obsmber of the City Hall, in accordance with the provisions of the order ot adjournment. The President (Col. O’Beirne) not being pre-ent, on motion of Capt. Radyard, Record- Secretary, Col. P. H. Allabach was called to the chair The minutes of the Isst meeting were read and approved; after which a number ef new names were Submitted for membership and referzed to the Committee on Oredentiais, and iWO ‘candidates, who had previously been before the commit‘ee for examination, were duly elected. The Treasurer's report was submitted and relerred without reading. Unfinished business being mext in order, on motion it was agreed that the Union go mto an election of officers. Colonei James O'Bierve and Colonel R.H. Allabach were put in nomination for the oifice of President. The later named gentleman positively declined the honor and askea his friends to withdraw his name. No response ‘Was made, apd the members proceeded to bal- foi, when Colonel A.iabach received thirteen yores and Colouel O'Bierne six voles; so Vol. A. was declared elected President. immedi- aiely upon this announcement, Ooi. Allabach arose, and, referring to his first declination, gave the reasons why be bad refused to ran for the office. The position was one which should receive a great deal of time and atten- tion from its incumbent, and as it was entirely incompatible with his business to give it much ©t bis time, he should again most respecifally decline serving. Coil. O'Bierne, the old President, hoped Col. Ailabach would not insist upon his declination. He was sure that he would make a mach bet- ter officer than the present incumbent, and as the majority should always rule, he did not think there should now oe any backing out. Other members expr: =sed_ the desire for Col. Allabach to &ccept the position conferred on him, after which, on motion, the question was put whether the Colonel’s resignation should be accepted, when there was one unanimous vo! and he was thereby compelled to serve. Upon taking the chair, he briefly returned | thanks for the favor which had been shown bim, and promised to perform his duties to the Lest of hisability. The association, which had been laying idle for some time, had a commis- | sion to fill, as set forth in the constitution and by-laws. It was a beneficial and political or- ganization, based upon constitutional prin- copies, and now was the time to go actively to work. The Constitution and liberties of our country Dad been assailed by men who | bad no affection for thei, or. if they ever had, (ey bad iost ital. In the late struggle, the patriotic army of the North did not go to the soil of the South to whip any State out of the Union, but to keep them all in one phalanx, | aud preserve the whole constellation of States mtact. These States, as belligerents, had be conquered, and now it was proper that every- thing should be done to harmonize and cement the different sections of the Union. At the concinsion of Col. A.’s remarks, there Was enthusiastic applause. On motion, a vote of thanks was given to Col. © Beirne, the retiring President, for tne very able and impartial manner in which he had discharged the duties of presiding officer. or the office of vice president. Dr. W. J. Craigen was elected. Capt. A. W. Chilton, of Vt. was elected re- cording secretary. Capt. A. Kaga was chosen for the ofice of corresponding secretary. { Private Mathew Somers was elecied treas- urer without opposition. Engineer J. C. Mockabee, late of the mayy, | ‘was nominated and duly elected to the office of financial secretary. ‘The election of officers having been gotten ibrough with, Major N.C. Warner moved that when the meeting adjourn it be to meet at the call of the president, or at the request of five members. Agreed to. Capt. Kaga offered the following resolution; which was adopted : Resolved, That the unanimous thanks of this | association are hereby tendered to Major N. ©. Warner, of Limois, for the prompt and able article in the National Intell vr, of the 2let instant. in reply to the scurrilous article which appeared in the Doi/y Chronicle ef a previous date. The following preamble snd resolutions were submitted by Capt. Kaga Whereas, certain changes have recently been made by President Johnson in his Cabinet, aud among prominent officers of the army, thereby unnecessarily causing renewed de- nuneiation and abuse of the President, by th: enemies of free government and constitutiona J liberty, and expressions tending to shaketh | confidence of the people in the patriotism o | General Grant; therefore, be it Kesolved, That we bold it to be one of the | time-honored principles of our patriot tathers, d made more sacred if possible by the con. inued action of the Government, that the Ex- | ecutive office should bea unity and nota di- vided responsibility: that the Executive should be surrounded by constitutional advisers in sympathy with him, and heuce in the removal ot (ne Hon. E. M Stanten trom the War Offic: we see nothing temake him @ political mare tyr, or the vext President of the United Sta Resolved, That we look upon President Jo! SoM a8 we did upon bis lamented predecessor, as the supreme head of the army and navy of our Government, and that no law pasted by Congress can divest him of bis constitutional powers as Commander-in-Chief thereof, and that now, as heretofore, we are ready to risk any peril in defence of this sacred rig Resolved, That in the assumption of the War office by General Grant, that great chieftain bas given no cause for grief or rejoicing amoag parties or politicians, and that our admiration of his patriotism is just as great now as when as was hammering away at both ends of the dine until the people in rebellion should lay down their arms and yield obedience to the Constitution and laws of the laud. Resolved, That we hail with profound satis- Yactiou the policy of economy inaugurated by General Gran: the administrauon of the copy of these resolutions be torwarded to Excellency, the President, and to General Grant. Major Warner moved the adoption of the resolutions. 1 - O'Beirne then arose, and said that. | without objecting to the resolutions, to make afew remarks in regard to th was well known that there were officers and soldiers in the army, who had no great love tor Edwin’ M. Stanton. There were many cficers in the army who, when they appreach- ed the War Office of Stanton, felt that they were losing their manbood from his overbear- ing manner. The martyred dead that lay sleeping at Andersonville, Belle Isle, and other places, could attribate their deaths to E. M. Stanton. When the Southern Confederacy were willing to make an exchange of prisoners, £dvin M. Stanton refused upon his own ipst «ct to agree te any such terms. Waile oar prisoners were languishing and dying in Southern prison, thie man Stanton guvea deaf ‘arto the tearful pleadings of relatives aud inends to be permitted to send them tood and Faiment, mor Would he grant passes for them to visit their sors or husbands, and soothe and uurse them iu their dying moments. To him, ple were nothing. He rejected the tel” because, forsooth. in his opinion, ' would be recognizing the Southern States %s belligerent. and not until the Isat extremity id he yield big objections. The sufferings of inmates of Southern prisons were depicted © most terrible colors, and for the death ery one, the country would hold Edwin Stanton responsible. His remarks, the ker said, came from & heart that feels ceeply upon the subject under consideration. He cared not to make a martyr of Stanton, ul hoped be would come before the peopte for some public position. and then be would be <ore to be stamped with defeat and com. Ple'e martyrdom. About the general policy of toe resolutions be cared nothing: it was vasuy proper that the President should have around im advisers who were in unison of feeling with Dim, and thedismissalot Stanton should mneet the’ approval of every one Stanton's tecord would justly consign him to that Odium, hatred sad izguom which his base acts richly merited.

C., August 26, 1267.—On the 13th of Augusi, 1867, I was taken to the house ot Wm. G. McCreary, iq this city, aud put to bed.

There was quite a number of the friends of the parties present at the trial. The prosecu- ton was represented by Mr. Albert N. Seip, brother to the complainant, and the detence by Messrs. W. A. Cook and-— Bar; te Miss Ellen Jane Seip was first sworn, and testified that she resided as above stated; that on Tuesday, August 13th, she was lying in the bourse of her brother, in a back room on a lounge, suffering: with cramp: and in. the stomach and was groaning: that tre. Mc- Creary came in aud asked what was the mat- ter, and she answered that she had pains: that Mr:.McC went oui and called tne Docior, her husband: Mrs. Kelly, Mrs. Moitatt, and Mrs. Taylor. had come in. McOreary, after asking ‘was the matter. got some brandy and wa. ter and gave her. and told her that she could not stay by herselt. She did not want to leave the house, bui he said that she should go, and took her around the waist and carried her to his own house. When at the front door he stooped and Kissed her. Mrs. McCreary tock her up stairs to a back room and put ber to bed. The doctor (the accused.) came up and gave her mediciies, and then went out tothe druggists to get morphine, which he gave her twice in aspoon. {t was weak at first. but the last was bitter. He then kissed her in the mouth, and put hts tongue in her mouth rolled it around, put his hand on ber breast. and bit ber rizht b And then threw himself upon her, She im to stop, and he asked if she never expected to have anything ot the sort done to her.

After he got away from her, he eat down on the bed and gave more medicine, which mada her numb and weak. She couldnot raise her arms. She was giddy and weak the nextday.

Thenext morning she got Lizzie (the daughter,) to go over to her hous= and gether clothes, Mrs. Taylor, after she went to bed in McU.'s house haying taken them back to ber house. She was very weak, and locked the door when she went in her house. Mrs. C. invited her, when she came down stairs, to take some breakiast, but she declined. The next afterncon she went to the wife of the accused and told her what bad taken place, butshe would nor believe witness. She ob- jected to being forcibly taken trom the house, ana forced herself back as best she cvuld. He told her that she must go. There was no one prerent but himself and wife at the time. It ‘was aemall room she was put into. At the time the act wis committed he was undressed. with his person exposed. Before committing the act he ill-treated her wih nis hands, say- ing it was to force ber courses. Wednesday night he was ou the bed ten miuutes, pretend- ing to be asleep. By Mr. Cook:—Witness came : the city about three monthsago. a: the request of her brother. trom Easton, Pa. Her courses in July failed, and she bas act had them since. She had very severe paingin the stomact. When the accused was kissing her at the front door. he said he would treat her as a brother would. She was crying atthe time. and the neighbors could have heard her, it was about six o'clock or afier. She would have remained at ihe house irshe had not been taken away by the doctor. She did not send for the doctor, or say that she wantea him to come. She saw the doctor place bimseit upon her and told him to get off. She said, Oh doctor, please stop it.” The doctor did net get between me and tne litue girl. He goi on top of me without any- thing on. Did not see him any more wll Wednesaay evening, when he gotin bed with me in his drawers. A little girl was in bed with me. 1 was afraid and went for the little girl to sleep with me. While my brother was away 1 did not stay out very late. Que night I was out all night, at Mrs. Tayior’s. a colored woman. Did remember that Mrs. McCreary gave me a letter while my brother was away. Had pains on Wednesday and they did not leave me till six o'clock Wednesday evening The doctor gave me medicine. The pains made me toes about and gave me much suiler- ing. The doctor got on top of me—Here the witness fainted and had to be conducted out of the room.) Dr, JH. Piompson was sworn, and testified that on Tuesday he was called on to examine the plaintiff. Received a brief statement of what bad occurred, and was requested tc make an examination. Made it at night, but the investigation was not very satisfactory, and it was renewed a; nex! morning. Found no swelling. nor abnormal inflamation, but on separating the parts found a fissure oa the pesterior of the hymen, as ifit been inter- rupted recently. The parts were slightly lacerated and bled some little. This might have been caused by the insertion of the finger or speculum, or by any other hard subsiance: the nail of finger might have produced it. The orifice was sufficiently large to admit sexual intercourse. From the evidence which witness bad beard, if he had been called into such a case, and tbe young girl had not had her menses, he should have been after seeing her condition, very apt to Rave madean ex- amination in order to ascertain whether she was aborting or not. Contd not tell whether there bad been any connection with a man or not, and would not pretend to say she had. Dr. F. Howard was called in on Monday eve- ning, and made an examination. (occalar di- gital,) but saw nothing indicating that vio- lence bad been used. There wns a slight fis- sure of the posterior of the membrane. This ‘was two weeks after the alleged violence. The slight rupture might have been produc ed by the insertion of the finger, speculum, or any other hard substance. Had no evidence, from ersona! observation, to show that she had n violated. Morphia admitted in repeated doses might have produced sleepiness aud numbuees of paris; it would relieve pain, and im case ofabortion would have a soothing in- fluence, It was very unusual to administer opium in solution. In some constitutions opium excites, nd in others it soothes. It was very usuilto administer Iaudanum in case of pain, and some times in abortion. '» Thompson thought a patient profoundly Unger the influence of morphine could no: be conscious, and therefore not expable of resist. ing rational influences. In cases like the pres- ent, it was not nnusaal for hallucination to ensue. Miss Ellen Seip having revived from her fainting spell, resumed: When I left Dr. Mc- Creary’s house, I returned on Thursday even- ing, saw Mrs. McCreary, and told her 1 thought I was in the family way, and believed the doctor did it. She (Mrs. McC.) said she did not believe any such thing. I cold her I believed the doctor had done somet! ig me while 1 was asieep, tor he had not white 1 was Swake. Told ber I thought he had got me in the family way while I was asleep: did not make any adverse statement to her.
