THE PARTIES DRINK TOGETHER. CONTROVERSY ABOUT A LENGED VOTE. THE SHOOTING. THE CORONER'S INQUEST THE VERDICT. cwAL- Last nigt® a few minutes past ten <'clock, a homicide took place at the southeast corner of Leuisiang avenue and 6th street: Mr. Thomas H. Kelkttier, beotoinder, who resides on H street ne ar 5th, being shot immediately under the right ear, making a large wound through which the brains oozed. It charged that the fatal shot was tird by Levin Turpin, better known as “Lep” Turpin, a berness maker, residing on Stk street, between I and K. Major Richards. Captain Reed and the en- tire reserve force were at police headquarters at the time, and on hearing the report of a pis- tol at once proceeded to the «pet. Detectives McDevitt and Thompson were first on the ground, and found the deceased lying on the crossing and John H. Dubant standing over him and holding Turpin by the collar, saying taay he (Turpm) bad sbot his (D's) best triend. The officers were also prompt and kept tne crowd off, which, in a very short time, increased to several hundred. A report was pat in cireu- Jation that it was Lieutenant Kelly who was shot, and the cry was raised “meb him,” or “mob them.” Detective Miller and Officer Grant took one man in charge and carried him to headgparters. ‘Turpin was taken in custody by [etective DicDevitt, and Dubant by Detective Thompson, | and carried to headquarters, while the other | officers removed the body, which was laid out am one of the lower rooms. A number of the employees of the Lichan House, where the de- ceased and Dubsntand Turpin had been drink- ing together but a few minutes before the hom- acide, were also taken im custody and held as ‘Wilnesses. A large crowd gathered about the bead- quarters last might, and early this moruing Lumbers again appeared, anxious to learn the particulars and to see the body. The deceased was about forty-two years of age, and came originally from Boston, we be- lieve. but bas resided bere for more than fif- teen years past, baving come here ia Iz 3 to work at Denbam’s bookbindery on B afreet, near luth, since which time be has been con- stuntly engaged at his business. He leaves a widow and three small chifdren. He was looked on asa man of many excellent qual- vues, and had made many friends throughout the city, es lly among the workingmen. During ‘the he was engaged as an army sutler. Turpin is about twenty-nine years of age; is a barness maker by trade, and is well known am che city, especially in the neighborhood in Which the homicide took place. For several months he has not been at work. The shot ix thought to bave been fired from a Dermger pi-iol, which Turpin had tm the bar-room of the Lichau House a few minutes before the homicide, at Which time the parties were g8ged im aM excited conversation about politi ne assefting that he bad challenged the other's vote. The police made strict search for the on, but up to nine o'clock had not found it, At pine o'clock this morning Justice Harper, ting coroner, held an inquest on the body « headquarters, the following being sworn as the jury: Columbus Deubam, Hanson Burr, Joseph Harbangb.

Witness did not go out, but went in the adjoimihg room, being caretal to keep out of the way of the door. Mrs. Lichau said he had been there, and she was afraid that be (T ) would get into trouble. Whru be went into the sitting Foom Dubant and deceased were in the bar. In& very few mmoments heard the report of the pistol and ran out. The bar keep- er was abead of him. and when he reached the corner Kellaber was lying on his back. with the blood streaming fr his mouth.

Wien they shook hands the deceased said if he wasa Kepublican he wouldn't mind giving his hand to T. All then went out together, one of them singing.

In 8 few minutes witness heard the report of a pistol, and heard Tarpin call to witness by name thata man was shot, to come and help him. Witness did not go t the @pot, but went down some distance.

When he took hold of the ud of Turpin he teund it full of blood. ‘There were but five persons there when he ar- rived.

THE VERDICT. | At the conclusion of the evidence, Justice Harper, on the oath of officer McDevitt, com. | mitted Turpin to jail for a farther hearing, he nd saw the deceased ¢ expressing a desire, before an examination is had, to have an interview with counsel. Du- | bant was held to bail as & witmess in the sum | of 8 ¢,C00. The verdict of the jury was that “the de. death ceased came to his on the 3d day of June, 186, at about fifteen minutes past 10 o'clock p. m., by the discharge of four of more leaden tails or bullets, fired from the bands of Levin Turpin, and into a Of the eaid Thomas ba Kellaner, the balls or bul-- Its entering the brain of the said Thomas H.

[Its a singularg coincidence that the deceased and Faulkner, who was killed the night before were bosom friends, and were very frequently together. They were killed within twenty- tour hours of each other, and the diffientties in which both received their deaths originated in polities.) THE MISSING PIBTOL. The weapon with which the deed was com. not having been found upon either of the parties present, nor in the vicinity of the homicide, the police set themselves the task of J ascertuining its whereabouts. It wa; noticed that soon after the crowd began to gather oae person left it and walked rapidly away, gout down 6th street, and on inquiry, Lieut. Kelly and others found a mar by the name of L. S. Chadwell, who stated that he was at the side door of Bunker's Hotel a few moments atter the sBot was fired, and aman ran down 6th street towards the canal. The man was asked what was the matter, and replied “a man had beep shot.” Lieut. Kelley got from Chadwell adescription of the party. and took him (C.) into Dubant's eating saloon. when he pointed out a young man named James Uassidy as the party, and he was thereupon taken in custody. To-day Justice Harper called up the ease, when Chadwell testified to a description of the man, but said that he could not identify him. Anna Kelly, a girl who was talking wit Chadwell at the time, testified to the same effect, but could not identify the man. Mr. Gilman Kirby, S. ©. Baldwin, and James Bur- dine testified that Mr. Cassidy was with them about the time of the homicide and after. Justice Harper said the evidence was not suffi- client to hold the case, and be therefore dis- missed it, —__+<+2 -___ FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL, The characteristics of the New York money market tor the part week have been the very low rate of interest charged on call loans, the absence of any marked speculative feeling on the Stock Exchange, and the very large trans- actions in Government securities. Govern- meut bonds, for the time being, are absorbing the attention of investors and speculators, and the opinion generally prevails that prices are going much bighrr. Phere hardly a doubt that this opinion is well founded, for it is certsin that there will be no increase of bonds, while the demand for them from Europe. particularly from Germany. is constantly growing larger, while the prospects ofan addition to our greenbacks to the extent of near fifty millions of dollars, and the diffi- culty of employing the accumulating balance in the New York banks ata better rate than 3 to four per cent., make eur 7-30's and 5-20's the cheapest securities to be obtained at their pres- ent rates. It is supposed that the largest busi- ness ever done in Government bonds in any one week was transacted there the past week. It t= understood that oue firm alone, that of Fisk & Hatch, bonght and sold over thirty-two iillions of dollars in Government bonds, mak- ing their transactions for a fortmizht to exceed $53,000,000, [By Bankers’ and Brokers’ Telegraph. } Lewis Johnson & Co. quote stocks and bonds in home and foreign markets as follows: New Yore, June 4.—First Board. 11, coupon,.116 ; 5.20°s, 1862, coupons, 112"; 1864, coupon, 110; 1565, coupons, 110: 1-65 coupon, new, 113%,: 5.206, Is67, coupon, 113 coupons, 30'S, Second, 101%. 7.34 third, 1003; ; Pacific Mail, 9734; Olio and Missis- sippi Certificates, 247,; Mariposa, 5; Atlantic ‘81,35: Canton.51 Union Telegraph, 3 4; Quicksidser,2s Water Po 19sg:_N. ¥.

Hovse or Repreexenratives.—The Senate Amendments te the deficiency appropriation bill were taken up and concurred im, and the Dill was passed. Mr. Julian (ind.) obtained leave to make a statement witn regard to the condition of busi- ness before the Committee on Public Lands, and said there was so much business before it that it could not possibly report in two morn- ing hours. He therefore asked that an addi- tional morning hour be allowed. Objection was made. Mr. Juhan, from the Committee on Public Lands, reported a bill to amend the act te se- cure homesteads to actual settlers on the pub- lic domain. [It relieves honorably discharged soldiers from payment of fees for taking up homesteads on the public domain, except the fees to local land offices.) Passed.

On motion of Mr. Stevens (Pa ) the House n-concutred in the Senate amendmen’s to he Arkansas bill,and asked a Committee ot Conterence. The House then resolved itself into Commit- tee ofthe Whole (Mr. Pomeroy in the c and resumed the consideration of the Internal tax bill. Mr. Miller (Pa.) addressed the committer. arguing that the main question in the bill was with reference to the collection of x upon distilled spirits. He believed that Sec y McCuiloch snd the Commissioner of L Revenue had honestly done all to collect the tax, and believed the law was in fault, and the remedy must theretore come from Congre Mr. Maynard, (Tenn..) in add¥essing the cominittee, re red to the w ¥ ring, and Anthony the nal said it composed in part ot a combina- tion of corrupt officials. “So with the banks in relation .o the tobacco tax: and in order to get at tue root of this matter it wrs necessary to put the responsibility for the acts of these offi- vials in some individual head, and be, the fore. approved of the first section of the pend- ing bill, which proposed to give the head of the internal Reveaue Bureau more enlarged au- thority. Heexplained the difficulties of prevent- when -omany officinls had to be con- din making the Internal Kevenue Bureau a seperate depariment. it did not ne- cessarily involve the creation with it of all the powers usually held by a bead ot a depart- ment. Because he was the head of a depart- ment it would uot necessarily follow that the Chief of the Internal Revenge Bureau must baveaseat in the Cabinet. The Post Office Department was in existence « long time be- tore the Postmaster Geneaal was invited o & seat in the Cabinet, and the head of the Department of Agriculture bad never yet been invited there. He believed it wus essential he proper collection of the taxes that all the patronage of the Internal Revenue Departinent should be in the hands of one officer, who Would be held responsible by Congress. and it was for that reason that this clause was incor- porated im the bill. Mr. Allison (low) said notwithstanding the fact that this bill appeared to be so volumin- he believed 1t could be speedily considerad ‘f gentlemen wouid pay attention to the busi- uess of the House. There were realiy but three confroverted points im this bill, and these were—ist, that which bad just been argued by Mr. Maynard; 2d, that relating to the tax upon distilled spirits: third, that relating to tobacco tax. He bad last night listened with great pleasure to the remarks of the gentleman from New York, (Mr. Wood,) and was giad to hear im bim, @ leader of the party, that the Demo- cratic party, never comtempisted a repudia- tion of eithér the principal or interest of the National bebt. The Committee of Ways and Mraus bad not only made this bill for the pur- pore of raising revenue, but also bad framed it with a view of a speedy reduction of all taxes, Mr. Allison then proceeded to refer to the several laws re- jating to taxation that had been passed since the first year of the war, and referred to the labor that had necessarily devolved upon the committee in bringing ali these laws together and guiting them ito one general law. He hen proceeded to argue by a comparison of the receipts and expenditures of the several years from Inéz down to the present time tha! the taxaticn bad been steadily decreasing; and + Sccording to estimates submitted, the expenditures of this year would be greatly less than those of last year: aud he denied the trath of the charge that had been made that these es- umates bad been made for the purpose of conducting a political campaign, The Com- mittee of Ways and Meaus bad, in preparing this bill, acted upon the theory that its terms would benefit, the comsumer as weil as the producer. The committee did not propose to go into a general revision of the tariff law, butit it was touched at all, only to take up certain specific subjects. The Committee had concluded not to revise the tariff, and they did vid not beheve any gieat manufacturing inter- ests would suffer, for statistics showed thot the oral and iron interests of the country were bever more prosperot than at the present time, and he did not believe this would, there- tore. be any disturbance in this business. One great object of the Committee in preparing the bill was to do away as much as possible with the taxation ppon the necessaries of life. Mr. Allison then proceeded to argue in favor of the adoption of that clause of the bill which ve=ted the power over the Byreau of Internal Revenue i an officer who would be the head ofthe Bureau. At this moment the Commis. sioner of Internal Revenue was the resporsi- ble bead of the Bureau. under the Secretary of ths Treasury, and it was useless to say that the Treasury had not been informed of the frauds that were perpetrated. These revenue agents were to & great extent component parts the Secretary of of the whisky ring, who were cha: with so much fraud: and of bis knowledge he knew that Mr. Rollins, the Commissioner, had tre- quently called the aitention of the Secretary of the Treasury to great frands. and no removals had been effected’ The matter had also been called to the attention of the President, and he had not made remoyals, and the responsibility is upon the Executi v nt of the Gov- ernment, and upon no other rtment. Mr. Wood said it was admitted that the Pres. ident only appointed the higher officers, and the frnuds were committed by inspectors and ee -¢ Mr. Allison replied that nesticn of responsibility should be vested in some. certain individual. arritet anit, Allison then proceeded to in re- on io the whiekey tax, and to wor are. duction thereof, a 87 E.
