Messrs. T. Dewell and Ed. Gorman o; the adoption of the resolution, and Mr. Bills took his leave. Seme further debate was indulged in, during Which cries of , WE WANT NO DEMOCRATS,” «« How can we get recruits if you won't let them join,” ete., were heard, and a motion was made to the resolution on the table; which was adopied—seas 15, nays 11. rt. P. Quirk offered a resolution the administration of Governor Cooke and the course of the Board of Public Works. Capt. Barry moved to lay it on the table. [Voices—*Postpone it until we take new members.” Mr. Quirk —“ I won’t do no such ad—d thing, but will withdraw it for the present.” A motion was adopted that NONE BUT REPUBLICANS be allowed to join the club, and that the names be called, so as to give met bers an opportunity to challenge. . ‘The secretary commenced to take the names as given; among them those of Andrew Gleason, Allen Coffin, Thomas Droney, and — Beach: late of the 15th district club. John Foley gave hisname, when Mr. P. Quirk, 5r., asked if he had not voted for a democrat Year. Mr. Foley retorted by sayii Quirk had voted for Emery, he (F.) had voted for Bowen.

RESOLUTIONS Were adopted that the Club, having faith in the the party in the Principles which have Past, see no oecasion for any “new in the approaching campaign.

That political treason is about the right name for democratic appointments by a Tejublican administration; and we look upon such sympathetic recognition of the oppo- sition as prejudicial to party organization and subversive of good government. ee The Spencerian Situation. A CAKD FROM MKS. SPENCER. Sara J. Spencer, president of the Club, is out iu a card in this morn. ing’s Chronicle, depreeating the public expo- siven of her domestic affairs, and stating that, while as president of a woman's club, ry teoong sonable to expect any amount of fair or unfair criticism through the press, as a wife, she sub- mits that no gentleman except her husband has a right to inquire whether she does or does not ” whether she has or has not sought “*rec- oncillation” in case of disobedience, much less to publish the result of such Inquiry. Her opin- ion of reporters is embodied in followi: queries :—Could anyone woman, or bod) not ‘wemen, with all the influences that could be brought to besr, do so much to create and per- petuate discord in families as one of these inno- cent, delicate-minded emissaries of a daily pa- ? It appears that one of these gentlemen Was afraid to ask me a question, because, as he says, it was ‘‘a delicate subject.” Js there any subject too delicate or too sacred for a reporter to pry into, ferret out, and toss over to the gen- = iblic, at the demand of his responsible ead 2? She closes as follows: “ Where is the earthly heme in which differences of opinion between husband and wife do not eceur, in which the expressed wish or will of one {s not sometimes ccmpelied to yield to the clear convictions of the other. Such a home ‘on the other side of the river’ is much to hope for. If any find it here, their heaven is already begun. In the meantime let me hope oar citizens have clearly discerned that my husband was seeking not to destroy or hinder the Woman's Club by ad- Yocating the election of so estimable a woman as the candidate he proposed to fill my place, but only to secure more of the time and stren, and bas repeatedly declared that ‘none but dad man would oppose women in their efforts to srve other women from a life worse than death.’ His deeds have daily proven his sincerity in this matter, and his views have undergone no change. “Further than this no one has aright to ask a question: a Tnx Beer Carp Haneas Conpva—ves- terday afternoon, the child of M.

Witness was in her house on the ight of the homicide; Mr. McCarthy and Mr. Antoney Lully came there ‘ther and remained a short time; had a talk with McCarthy, and he left saying that he and Lully were keeping bachelor’s hall together; looked out and saw two gentlemen standing at the large gate leading into the alley; did not ize at that time, but subsequently recog- nized James when she accompanied McCarthy and Lully out to the small gate; they then turned from the large gate and went towards 13th street, and Messrs. McCarthy and Lully went in the same direction; James and the man with him (a short man) turned and went towards 12th street, passing her as she stood at the gate: this was eight or ten minutes before she heard of the homicide. ‘The witness was cross-examined by Mr. Riddle any new facts. Clay C. Clinton, Wm. be Mott, and Charles Johnson, the latter a colored man, then tes- tified, but no new facts were elicited. Timothy Sullivan (Excelsior restaurant) and Elbert Clagett (Owen House) each testified to Darden and James being in those ih about ten o'clock on the night of the homicide. John Harmore, of the Kirkwood, testified to hearing the bursting of a cap about the time of the ery of “Police!” did’t see any of the parties down; Imagined one of the partics was down, as the last shot fired was so close to the walk.

Mr. ERiltie ol ected to this evidence, and e point. udge Humphress ruled that they should first ascertain the tact, and that they could question Witness as to the condition of Darden at the time. Judge Fisher said he eould only as. in this by examining witnesses as to the declaations. itness resumed, and said that after the re- moval of James he walked a good deal; did not say anything until towards night.when he asked for the preacher, the priest, and the District at- torney. He spoke about a put up thing on him,” and would walk about a little and lie down; he was very restless, and he kept witness and two others constantly looking after him. Judge Fisher asked if he said anything about the man who was with him at the time; and stated (on objection being made) that he pro- Pored to prove that the prisoner made a state- Tent of same facts as had been testified to by Lully, and thus show that Darden was sane. Judge Humphreys asked if Darden svid anj- = else. oe Htness replied that he did not as he remem- red. Judge Fisher asked if he said anything about James. The Court overruled the question, stating that witness had answered all he knew. Judge Fisher —Then if you decide the pris- — as insane, I have no further questions to Judge Humpreys remarked that he bad not so decided, but from the witness’ statement it was impossible for him to prove his sani ‘he following witnewes were called, but di not answer :—Wm.

A recess was tak he court reassembled at 12.45. Several wit- nesses were called but failed to answer, and the District Attorney stated that they would close their case. OPENING FOR THE DEFENCE. Mr. A. B. Williams addressed the jury. stating that the true facts were about to be made public for the first time. On the night in question McCarthy met Mis death; on the following da the inquest was held, when witnesses who hai seen the affair and whose testimony was favor- able to the prisoner were rot cailed, thus th true facts had not come out. No w seen the poion before which picked up at his ee) feet. Were they to believe Lully and reject Melson? and there were other con- tradictions in the testimony. The District At- torney had said that reasonable doubts should be iven to the prisoner, and so he said. m e ight at this pomt claim a verdict of not guil denied that Dennis Darden had committed murder, or that he violated law in killing John McCarthy. He proceeded to argue that when a man Was in great bodily harm he might take the life of his adversa-y; and he read several author- ities on this point—mostly Alabam: y se of began once declined to coutinne the conte: the other, it is self-defence.

They would show that McCarthy was notorious as a man of great Powers; that he was as great a villian as ever Went unhung, and had, in connection with Nellie Milward, been before this court. The court here interrupted Mr. W, and stated that such remarks should not be made to the jury. Mr. Williams continued, saying that Milwood had said that she had no Le sc interest in the prosecution when her relations were so intimate that che took the name of McCarthy, and under that name plead guilty to the charge of keeping a bawdy house.
