CONTINUATION OF THE EXAMINATION—CLOSE oF TESTIMONY AND ARGUMENTS OF COUN- PEL. This morning, Major Richards, Superinten- dent of Police, resumed the examination of the charge of rape preferred by Miss Ellen Jane Seip against Dr. W.G. McCreary, which was commenced and occupied five hours yester- cay. As om yesterday, the prosecution was esented by Mr. Albert N. Seip and the de- e by Meéesrs. Cook and Burgess. Theex- nation attracted even more attention than 1 did yesterday, and the office was crowded considerably before the hour set for trial. ‘The first witness called was Colonel Stewart, of the Penosylvanis State agency, who was sworn for the defense, and testified that he knew the accused several years as a practicing physician in Pittsburg, Pa., where be bore an excellent character. On cross-examination, Witness said that he Sad known the accused im this city, and never heard anything against bis character. Mrs. Welles testified that she visited Ellen when she wes sick, and heard her exclaim, -O, Lora, 1 wish Lwas dead.” She appeared as if she needed attention. On cross-examimation, witness said that Ellen seemed to be afraid that her brother would be angry becanse she left the house. The evidence here cloced, and Mr. Cook argued the case for the defense, chent, a personal man Of good repute. ‘cused could not be held for court. He re- ferred to the fact that in the desire of the magistrate to prevent crime, there might be an influence operating anconsciously on his mind towards sending the case up. He asked if there was evidence tending to satisfy the mind that the accused committed a rape on the 1th and attempted a rape onthe !4th. He read from the affidavit as published in the Star's reports, and read from Dean’s Medical Jurisprudence chat the accusation is easy to be made, harder to be proved, and harder yet to be defended. He also read from Wharton’s Criminal Law. sud Russell on Crimes, as to the proof required. What is the charge, and how 18 it sustained? 1t 18 charged that while under the influence of plates the act was committed. If the opiates ad their effect upon her where was her mind? Was her brain clear! Dr. Thompsen said that under the influence of opiates there arose in he minds of females the hallacimations such = would be the ground work for such acharge ss this. Has it come to this that when a wit- ness is spell-bound by opiates, she is to be al- lowed to swear to such statements as she had, d abuge the reputation of a man heretofore | spotless, exceptthat he would sometimes take | he intoxicating cup. It canvot be tnat this modest litle girl could, under the infinence of pistes, be ravished. What is the evidence? Sue testifies that on Tuesday he bit her, kissed ber, &¢. She says that he only touched eT, and if that be so, then there was no rape. That touch, if it took place, may bave been an offence; a moral wrong may have been committed, but it was not the crime al- jeged. Mr. Cook proceeded to urge the im- probability that the act was committed then cr afterwards, or that it could be done in the position occupied by the girl ia the bed, ag iestified to by her He argued that either she had not taken the opiates. or tnat her state. rents asto the minutia were not true. Mr. (ook eterred to the evidence as reported, and proceeded ta read that she went to the wife of he accused and stated thar she was in the tamily way Mr. Seip said this was not correct: that she Dad not so testitied, and asked thst the state- ment be corrected. Mr. Qook read the evidence a little terther, Where she stated that she was afraid sbe was +n the family way: and said she was afraid shat he did it while she was asleep. He con- tended that her narrative was contradictory. and was based on hallucinations. He calicd atiention to the fact that im her affidavit she said that the accused gave her opiates during the day, and m her testimony that he did not see her until Wednesday might, and reterrea also to the evidence of the little child which contradicts the testimony of @ prosecuting witness, as to not having sent for the doctor to come to eee her. If the statement of one is true, the other is untrue, and which is most likely to be mistaken; the little, unsophisticar. <a girl, or the girl ‘under the influence of opiates! Her testumony is not only uncoirob- | orated but is in itself contradictory, and he proceeded to dissect it at some length. Mr. Cook spoke of the character of the ac- cused, and reisied the circumstances of the girl being s‘ck and ber removal to the house of the accused, where she was treated as the feelings of benevolence dictated. He asked if it were possible, under the evidence, to com- mit the #ccused on the testimony. If there was anything done by this man it was nota Tape, BOF an assault with imtent to commit | rape, but an as_auit to induce mproper con- nection. He denied that there was evidence to bold him on the charge preferred. A brother appears with is sister as the prosecutrix, he as the attorney. He would have been pleased to see the witness beyond the influence of the orother and his wife. He closed, elaiming that the accused could not be convicted ultimately, and that society would not suffer if the ac- cused was not held to bail. Mr. Seip, (brother of the complainant.) for the prosecution, made the closing argument. » remarked that after the storm comes the calm, and that he intended only to brietly re cive the fac.s of the case. He alluded to th dact that his family was absent, he haying sen his wite to a more congenial clime on accoun of her heaith, on the advice of Dr. Thompson, and he did not leave his sister (tne prosecating witness) in the house unprovided for, as had been charged. As to the accused having been in the army, he would say that he (thespeaker) was alco in the army, and in the same regi- ment in which the accused was an officer, and rezollects that he was suspended for drunken- bess. He belonged to the same church that the Accused belonged to, and the littie boys of the accused were in the class of the speaker. He also said that the accused belonged, or pre- tended to belong, to the same soctety or 1ra- terpity. So much for their relations. aad he wished to state that tor jusiice alone had this case fad beea brought. 1t now remained for him to demonstrate that the facts alleged were true, but before doing so he asked why should the accused hesitate to have the case go up toa higher court? He must have some other motive behind besides his conscious in- nocence ; and he thonght that he knew it, but 1t was not proper for him to allude to it. If the defendant has the good character alleged he could give bail, but he (Mr. Seip) wished the case to go up to court, where he expected to prove the guilt of the prisoner beyond a doubt; and if he was not able ro dé 80 with certeinty, he did not wish to do it at all. He reterred to the affidavit of the prosecuting witness, and claimed if she objected to going trom the house, then the first charge in the ar- fidavit, “that she was taken” to the house, is true: the second, “opiates were administered,” és also conclusively proven by his own admis- sions. He then referred to the third charge of Tape, and spoke of his sister having come here At his request that he might educaie her, and that since she arrived on May Ist she had made the acqaaintance of no one of the opposite sex unless two or three at Sunday School. He admitted that the prisoner's wite had been ‘ind to him and his family, and he felt for her, but as gor him (the prisoner) vengeance mast visit him for the terribie crime upon him. He denied that the credibility of the prosecutrix ‘Was wopaired; and referred to the testimony of Captain Welles and other witnesses, as to the character of the girl, and asked it the charges were not true, what motive could she bave had to come before such an a:semblige As was present, and make the statement. What is itferany woman, even the aged, to come vefore a crowd gathered by idle curiosity: It was true that she gave her testimeny while seated between himeeif and his wife, but it ‘was under the direct eye of the Qourt, who saw that she was so seated that they might bear ber up. He referred to the evidence of the prosecutrix, Miss Kelly and others, and spoke of the removal of the litle boys from the foom as & fact against the accused, and ana- lized the testimony of the little girl, (Lizzie DicUreary.) whose testimony he objected to, Saying tbat it was Impossible for a girl of that age (eight years) to bave laidawake two nights and a day as had been testified. He further spoke of the evidence of this child, who he contended was mistaken ip her testimony, and then proceeded to speak of the admissions f the accused to Capt. Welles. which were none but a very devil could have made, and were damning proofs against him. In reply to the question as to how he (Mr. Seip) came to be in the case he stated that he wsé Der brother, and asked ia whom could she cely éf pot her brother, buc he would promise that when the time comes a more able person would prosecute the case, and in the meantime be would do 8 brother's part towards his sis- er. He closed by saying tbat the accused hould be held for an investigation in a bigher <ourt, and he ought notto shon it, and the Prosecution courted the investigation. Major Richards remarked that he would fixe a little time to consider the case, and that Se had serious donbis as w his duty in the premises. Ir he was on a jury he would iruow bow to act. and in this ‘case, if it were possible, he would like to restore the gentie- man to bis former position and also the ‘young iady to hers, but thie is impossible. He would in making his decision, however, coi only his duty, and would render his decision to- morrow ¢ 10 o'clock. ae ¢ ma: eta! in explanation of the: pear. ance of the brother of the prosecutriz in this tudent at Oolam.

Like @ —For several past there has been consfterable excite- ment about the upper end of 7tu street, on sccount of the singular ge Of a col- ored woman in one of the tenement houses in Campbell Barracks. ‘The woman is Emily McOlellan. She came originally from the interior of Virginia, and from her intensely black skin it is evident that she is purely Afri- can, with no mixed blood in her veins. She resides with her husband in the locality men- tioned. This is the way the story goes:— About two weeks ago, when she was living in ‘Wiseweil Barracks, she had a dispute with a colored woman th skirt, and tl woman becoming enraged at her, deciared that she would “conjure her,” and put aspell on her making her bark likea dog. Shortly after Emily McClellan moved to her present abode, and st sunrise on Tuesday, the 20th inst, was attacked with severe pains in the stemach, ‘was pui to bed, when she complained felt something gnawing its way tomach towards her neck, and some of those present declared that they saw some. thing slowly crawling up under the skin of the breast of the exact shape of a lizard. The pain of the woman became intense, and she went into convulsions, in which she would bark like adog, sometimes growling, and at other times snarling as if about to bite. The lizard remains in the neck only a few mo- ments, it is said, and returns to the body, and the woman from sheer exhaustion falls asleep. Alter theee convulsions she is very weak aud dizzy, and sometimes she is attacked in this way two or three times a day, but generally every afternoon about six o’clock. While in thesé convulsions the woman has been visited by large numbers of colored people, and by many white persons residing in the neighbor hood, who corrcborate these statements. Our reporter visited the place yesterday, in company with Lieut. Johnson, and found a large crowd collected about the doors of the babitation, watching every movement of the woman with wonder. As we approached, the husband of the woman met us and said, “Em- ily has just throwed it out” “Throwed what ont,” ssid we. To which he replied that “she just gave two snorts and cast a W-u-r-r-u-m out of her nose;"’ at the same time handing us a 4-ounce phial, in the bottom of which wasa Worm about the diameterof a common earth worm, and an inch and a half long, yellowish in color, with a horned head and’ ten teet. While looking at this worm, ceveral colored Women. Icoking also at the boltle, exclaimed, “Umpb, dat’s what it was; the poor woman will get well now;” but hardly had they made this remark when with a shriek she jumped up and was caught by two women, to whose assistance the husband weot, and tt required the anited strength of the three to hold her, she gyrating m the most wonder- ful manner, aud at one time barking like a mastiff, and again like @ fice. This was her | condition for perhaps fifteen minutes, and as | on previous occasions, she tnen fell asleep | from exbaustion. The’ colored people about the place believe firmly that she has been be- ‘w tched or conjured, and have no faith in the prescriptions of the physicians, Drs. Frank and Bushnell. who have prescribed tor her, but on the other hand they believe that the oniy cure for her is in the power of an old col- ored * Obii man”—too ola for work—who they | keep in the place to «spell off” the influence of any medicine given her --——+ ELUCATIONAL.—In addition to the institutions for the education of youth nouced in our local columns yesterday, we destre to call the at- t nuon of parents and guardians to the follow- ing, Which are advertised in our paper to- day: dtcci: Hill Coltege.—This excellent institution for the education of boys is pleasantly situated at Ellicott City, Howard county, Md.. one of the most picturesque piaces in the State. It is in cbarge of the Christian Brothers, and under their direction is rapidly establishing its repu- tation as one of the very best colleges in the conntry. Brother Bettelin is president. Studies will be resumed on Monday next. Georgetown Coliege.—This venerable institu- tion, ©0 widely and favorably known, com- mences its next annual session on’ Monday next: Rev.B. A. Maguire, S.

David Davis, and five other well- k.own parties, left Seventh street wharf this morning, on board the sailing yacht Anna Davis, per invitation of Mr. William Simpson, ‘ormerly proprietor of the Simpson House, of tis city, to spend the day in social enjoyment at Swan Point, the farm on which he now re- sides. about fifteen miles on the river below Washington. The party cast off from the wharf at 9% o'clock, with a light breeze, a clondy sky, and every augury of a pleasant iine durmg their absence from the city. Al- ti ough the name of the association indicates an nnenviable state of existence on the part ot th s2 who are members of it. yet their cheerful m:neer and happy jokes excited feelings of envy im the breasts of many who saw t Jeave, and nothing occurred which was at in unison with teelings of sadness which the colors under which they sail would convey. It would be safe to wager that the “unhappy x"? are at this t.me the happiest siz to be tound anywhere. The party will return to Wash- ing early to-morrow morning. sSaiiathe sine AP MUSTERED UUT oF THE MILITARY SERVICE. On Monday, Major A. E. M. Johnson, U.S. Volunteers, was honorably mustered out of the military service. Major Johnson went in the Wer Department as a clerk, at the begin- ning of the war, under Assistant Secretary Watson, and was asaigned to @ very respo! ble position im connection with the pri correspondence of the Department. His faith. fulness to his duties attracted the attention of Secretary Stanton, who complimented him b: procuring him a commission as major of vol- unteers. His man, , including the mem- bers of the press, will be gratified to learn that while he leaves the military service, he still retains his civil position in the Department. pisscies Caria STREET CAR ACCIDENT.—A youth, about 12 years of age, named Albert Howard, was ac- cidentally run over by a street car at the cor- ner of Seventh street and Pennsylvania ave- nue, yesterday afternoon, and was severely injured in one ot nis feet. He was carried into ‘aite’s drog store, where it was ascertained that the bettom of bis foot was nearly crushed off. Soon afterwards a hack was procured and the unfortunate youth was taken to his home, oa Canal, near Congress street, George- town. Drs. Peter and Donobue, of that place, were called in, and fear that in all probability it will be necessary to amputate the foot. ——_e—___ AN INCORBIGIBLE Youne Scamr.—Last evening, a young man belonging to the Oamp- bell Hospital Barracks brought to the Second Precinct station a colored boy who could oni: give the name of Edward (never haying hi & family name,) charged by his aunt Margaret Jackson with sterling #10 trom her. He was turned over to officer McChesney and had a hearing before Justice Walter, but having re- turned some of the money and being of teuder age—less than twelve years—after 2 good lec- ture was allowed to go, bearing a reanest for Ne Telatives to give bim a dressing of raw ide. —__.__ THE CHFSAPEAKE aND OxIO CANAL Com- Pany—Election of Directors.—At a meeting of the sicckholdersof the Chesapeake and Ubio Canal Company, held in Annapolis on Tues- day jast. at which the stockof the State was voted by the Maryland Board of Public Wor=s, the following gentlemen were elected officers of the company :—President, Alfred Spates, of Allegany county ; directore, Joseph Muri id A.

Asbury Lioyd and Eugene Carusi as attor neys. The countel contended that there wore several acts of the corporate authorities giving toauctioneers the right to use certain portions of the sidewalk and street on sale days, and quoted the 1ith section of the act of June 3d, 1953, which act, atter viding thatthe streets sball not beovetructed, contains the following FOVis0: vi tdnd provided further, That this séction shall not apply to any person in the immediate act ef moving or removing merchandize, or auy- thing in the way of tl trade or business, or ilies, nor to flour, spiri- tuons liquors, or suck other articles as are to be inspected or guaged under tne laws of this corporation, norto the sale ot roods. wares or merchandize exposed by auctioneera in the frrntof their place of busineeson the day of public eale, such goods and merchandize, however, to be so arranged as to leave a free prseage of one-half the pavement at Jeast, and two-thirds of the carriaze way, and all such goods to be removed within two hours after euch eale.”’ * Mersrs. Wall & Co. claimed that they had not obstructed the sidewalk, as their gale was conducted in their own building, on Louisi- ADA avenue, and but one carriage was sold in front ofthe building. The gentlemen before the Justice are well-known business firms who have no desire to take any advantage of the Jaw, but simply io avail themselves of the privilege granted by the law. Justice Bates Enid he desired to consult the Corporation At- torney before rendering bis decision, which he would do 2s soon as possible. ‘The complain ants in the case were W. B. Lewis and OUap- tain Lully, both of whom are auctioneers ou the avenue, between 9th and 10th streets, and was broughr up by them as an amicable suit to test the matter. The decision will be ren- dered to-morrow. aes THe River FRONT, AvovsT 29TH, 1867 — Transactions along the frout this morning were of a more lively character than for many days past.

At lL o'clock quite a large congregat‘on pres- ent, who: listened quietly and attentively to a thrilling discourse on the endearing relation existing between the Christian and God, and the means by which that relationship is estab- lished and maintained, founded on Romans, 8th chapter, 15th and 16th verses, was deliy- ered by Rev. A. Wileon. Rev. G. Smith, of Baltimore, preache. at 3% o’clock, on the com- forting and consoling effect produced by operation of the Holy Spirit upon the heart and life, and the necessity of the Heavenly Baptism to quality Ministers for a taithfal performance of their duty, and private Unris- tinns for steadfastness in their Christian life, from Ephesians, 5th chapter, 18th, 19th aad 20th verser. Rev. S. S. Roszell arrived on the ground to- day, and is announced to preach to-morrow ateleven o'clock. The weather is delightful. In the evening, at 73; o'clock, Kev. J. E. Armstrong, from Hebrew. 2d chapter, 2d and 3d verses. delivered an earnest appeal to the congregation, after showing the ditference be- tween the ministry of Angels and that of Jesus, and urged them to aceept, not reject, sihe great Salvation.” J. W.B. REESE THE BALTIMORE AND POTOMAC RAILROAD. Colonel Oden Bowlé. President of the Balti- more and Potomac Railroad, has answered the letter of the committee transmitting to him the proceedings of & meeting of citizens of the town of Upper Marlboro’, with reference to rupning the road through that village. He says: “By the use of the word “practicable” inthe charter it was meant, not as you con- sirue it, that the road should be constructed through the villuge of Upper Marlboro’, -with- out regard to the question of eosts or incenve- nience.’ but the yery contrary, viz: that tne location should be made as much ‘within one mile’ as was ‘practicable’—-costs.’ the topo- grapby of the country, and the general inter- ests of the company, being considered. Any other interpretation of this word ‘practicable’ seems to me to be entirely incorrect, and man- ifestly perverted. * *”* We would gladly locate ‘rough Marlboro’, (because of its being the county town.) if we find we can do so without too great an expenditure of money and increase of distanee. We can, however, no more undertake to run the road through every country villxge than through every man’s farm, and when, as in this case, the road will pass within gunshot of the suburbs of Marl- boro’, we should be unfit custodians of thein- terests of those having invested so largely their capital it we could be swerved arom our cor- rect course by a desire to gratity neighbor- hoods or individuals. And in thi~ coanection I would call your attention to the fact that but halfa dozen or less of the tew participating in the meeting were stockholders in the com- pany.” eke Botp RonpeRy —About 9o’clock this morn- ing, the cont pocket of Dr. R.A. Davis was robbed of a gold watch and “hain valued at $75. The act was commitird by a newsboy named Frank White, who had been peddling alot of cheap novels, but upon arriviag at Fourteenth street, near F, he espied some car- penters at work on a new bailding, in close Proximity to whom were the coats which they had thrown off on commencing their labors, and forthwith he determined upon suspending sales and trying bis hand at pocket picking. Accordingly he sauntered into the building, carslessly reconnoitred the premises, and then, watching the opportunity when.as he thought, no one was observing him, he approached Mr. Davis’ coat and slyly slipping his hand in one of the pockets, abstracted the gold “re- peater.” Having secured his plunder he left the building, but was closely followed by Mr. Davis, who observed the transaction, and be- ing overtaken was arrested and turned over to policeman Leach, who took him to the Central Station bouse and locked him up. Subse- quently Justice Morsell had the boy arraigned before him, and after @ hearing Re was re- manded tor trial. Struck with 4 Brick.—Bazler Starke. a colored boy, about nine years of age, was struck on the head with a brick about half- past one o'clock this afternoon, near the cor- nerotN and 9th streets.

The Company is also re- strained by its charter from issuing its bonds ex- cept as the work progresses, and to the same amount on the various sections as are issued by the Government. The mortgage which se- cures the bondholders is made to Hon. E. D. Mor- gan, U. 8. Senator from New York, and Hon. Oakes: Ames, Member of the U. 8. House of Representa- tives from Massachusetts. as Trustees, who alone can issue the bonds to the Company, and who ara responsible for their issue in strict accordance with the terms of the law. A statement of the earnings for the last quarter will be published in detail at an early day; but the accounts are already sufficiently balanced to show that the net amount is much greater than the gold interest on the bonds that can be issued on the length of road operated. It should be remembered that these earnings are only upon @ teay business in anew and undeveloped country, and are no index of the vast traffic that must follow the completion of the whole line to the Pacific in 1870. These facts are only intended to show that these Bonds are strictly one of the safest, as well as one of the most profitable, securities, and are fully entitled to the confidence of the public. The Company make no appeal to the public to purchase its Bonds, as the daily subscriptions are large, and fully equal te their wants. Many parties are taking advantage of the present high price of Government stocks to exchange for these bonds, which are over 15 per cent. cheaper, and, at the current rate of premium on gold, ?*Y OVER NINE PER CENT.
