WHAT THE DEW YORK POLICS KNOW ABOUT IT. A dispatch from New York says that Billy Forrester, the alleged murderer of Nathan, whose arrest in this eity and departure for New York yesterday afternoon in charge of detec- tives was noticed in laet evening's STag, arrived in epee bos d at 10 o’clock lascevening ana was depot by James Irving, chief detec- tive, and taken to prison. {t was feared that on Forrester’s arrival in New York attempts would | be made to rescue him, but from the dispatch | referred to, it would seem that he was success- triends the District has ever had in the F tive chair, and the only President who for has felt sufficient interest in the improvement of the national capital to recommend to Cou- ‘ess libexal sppropriations tor the Distric ‘Cries of “‘That'’s so.” “Hurrah for Graut.’} le would take occasion, at some iime during this campaign, to prese our people the views ‘entertained by Mr. Greeley, az be finds them in the Prebune.

Were he # democrat he could never vote to admit this Trojan horse, filled with concealed enemies to despoil our beautiful city.

During the early stages of the investigation of the Nathan murder in New York, two years ago, the police authorities narrowed the crime down to one of three “mobs” or gangs of sneak thieves as having been concerned in the murder. The bead and front of this gang was Billy Forrester, | and Ly tracing his movements they learned that he was seen in New York on the day of the mur- der, but had disappearedtke day after. To find | him eeemed impossible.

They are men wlio are bitterly hostile to our local administration, and to the plans of improvement which have been inangurated to beautify and build up the national capital.

On Friday morn- ing, July 29, 1570, Benjamin Nathan. a wealthy Hebrew broker and president of several Hebrew focteties, was found dead in his room, in New York. having been most foully murdered.

It ae there should always be in local feuds and intrigues, which are carried on in utter disregard ot the weltare of the people. But if we must have these lucal isagreements aud these factions always in our midst, they should at least be kept out or Con. gtess, where our highest interests demand that we shonld go with an unbroken trout. [Ap- plause.} He then reviewed what, In his op inion,was the cause of the factional spirit in opposition to the board of public works, and said: i believe that our iorm pf government here in the istrict, when rightfally understood and properly ad- ministered, is & vast improvement on tie old sy stem ef government; and, as to the boari of public works, while I’ have admitted as trne th at they have made mistakes, aud that they are still occasionally making them, yet there ix more intelligence, more vigor, more regard for the interests of the whole people, and cioser watchtuiness upon public expenditures, not- withstanding ail that our opponents have urged, than bave ever been seen in the man- agement of the improvements ‘or the District heretotore. [Applause.] He was not here now to advocate the board of public works or to speak for them.

He abstained from expressing opinions to the committee—having no vote in it—on the charges, and he endeavored to leave their minds as iree ashe could, consistently with truth and justice, to make up their verdict,without assist- ance {rom him. The General next touched upon the labor question, and reviewing its history said that ali that had’ been gained for the working man is directly attributable to the republican party. He did not believe that a laboring mau who relies upon the proceeds of houest toil ean per- form the duties of a citizen ina republican gov- ernment and respond to the proper demands of his family by working ten hours a day and re- ceiving therefor only the sum of = [Cries of “Good!” “Good!” “That's rigut,” &¢.)

Information im the case was furnished to the | police by a man vamed Ellis, a friend of For- Tester, it is said, who was then contined in state ison, serving Out @ term of imprisonment for urgiary. The principal evidence against For- Tester is, however, as asserted, that the ‘“ dog” with which Mr. Nathan was so brutally m dered. or one very similar to it. was said to have | been traced to his possession. })uring the month of May, i570, the residence of Mr. Schenck, on Sth avenue, was entered and robbed by bar, jars. Among the articles carried off from Mr. | Schenck’s residence was a “dog,” which had been used in the house in opening cases of wine, &c. The sons of Mr. Schenck, on being shown the “dog” tound in the house of Mr. Nathan, it ls alleged, fully identified it as the one which | had been stolen from their house. This was an important point gained, and it was subsequently ascertained, almost to a certainty, that Forrester and Ellis were both engaged in the barglary at Mr. Schenck’s house. It is alleged that the po- lice authorities of New York have positive in- formation that a few nights betore the murder, Forrester, under an assumed name, occupied Foom at the Sth avenue hotel, and that he de- sired and was given a room on the 23d street fide of the hotel, overlooking the Nathan man- sion. It is further asserted that Forrester was seen in the vestibule of the hotel on the night before the murder. a ‘Tur TWELPTH OF SertemEER—How the Day is to be Celebrated —Thursday next deing the fifty-eighth anniversary of the battle ot North Point, will be celebrated in Baltimore by # wii- itary parate, and the Defenders of Baltimore | that time we are to consult not the interests of Will dine at North Point, having as their gnests | the wealthy, not the interests of the corpora: the A-so ed Suryivors of the war or 1512, of | tions, not the interests of tradesmen and the this Dist t.

The various Greeley and Brown clubs of the District were invited to co-operate, and a committee of seven was a; pointed to make arrangements for the trip. THE “GO WEST” CLUB. At a meeting of this club, last evening, Messrs.

Honorah testitied that and left her some fifteen months ago, had not cen him since until one even- ing lest week as she was sitting on her porch withher babe in her arms. Wm. came out of ahouse next door and passing caught hold of her child by the arms and wrenching it from her, Cashed it to the pavement with great force eud ran away. Sle thought her child dead and amed to the top of her voice for help, and followed him to a tavern, where he had taken refuge. and ‘demanded the murderer of her child,” but was thrust out into the street. On returning she found her babe badly bruised and suffering. This was all very well as far as it went, but Honorah had no witness to back up her statement. William brow # little girt living next door, who testified that she picked up the child and cared for it, the mother being too much intoxicated to do so. This young girl testified that Honorah is seldom sober; that she bas been known to abuse her child on several occasions, &c. After this wit- ness had testified, Mr. K. S. Davis, counsel for O’Douncil, made a statement to the court, to the effect that this woman bears avery bad name—is always drunk; that he as counéel for defendant is prosecuting a suit for divorce, and, in consequence, Honorah is very turious, and instead of her husband making the assault, she (Honorah) dashed her babe at wm when he Was passing, calling out, “« Here, take your d—d brat, and take care of it.” This was the fact, which could be proven if time was granted. The {edge said the misfortune was that defend- ant had no witnesses to prove his statement, and he was obliged to take the testimony of the woman, which had been 80 far uncontradicted, yet he wonld only impose a light fine—s3 and costs. 2b then re- pena Es THE BoarD or Prnrrc Works have au- thorized Mr. B.
