CHARGE TO THE JURY. Judge MacArthur, on charging the jury, said that it was not always required under’ a charge of murder that express malice be proven, for i. this were so the majority of crimes wou'd go unwhipt of Justice, aud hence the law has a pro- vision of malice implied, and this implication preceeds from the nature of the act itseit. The only other grade of homicide known in this Dis- trict is manslaughter. This grade of homicide is established, when a man in the heat of a con- fii t,or under some sudden heat of passion, or urder great provocation, kills anoth Th jury will consicer whether this homicide oc- curred under the first orsecond grade. The vocation in manslaughter is, as a general , produced by blows. It is generally con- by the writerson criminal law that mere il not constitate a sufficient legal pro- case of a homicide resulting there- mufder to manslaughter.

THE CITIZENS’ MEETING LAST BVENING—RESO- LUTIONS OF SYMPATHY ADOPTED AND A RELIEF COMMITTBE APPOINTED. A number of prominent citizens of the Dis- trict assembled at Legislative hail last evening | tm response to the cail of the Governor, to take some suitable action for the relief of the suffer- rs by the recent Boston fire. Among those present were Messrs. A. K. Shepherd, E. L. Adolf Ciuss, Hallet Kilbourn, ex- Mayor James G. Berret, Joseph H. Adam: Jdobn H. Brooks, Dr. Tindall, and R. S. Davis. Secretary Stanton called the meeting to order, and spoke as follows: In the absence of the Governor, who is kept from here by sickness, it becomes my duty to call this meeting to order. Its purposes are sufficiently set forth in the call of the Governor. The city of Boston, the poor, the industrious poor of Boston, are in = of ‘heir necessities should appeal to our hearts. About no other American city claster so many ancient memories; no other city has contribated more to our material prosperity. Boston has been called the Athens of America. No less is she the ome of America. If her culture and re- finement are Grecian, she has always possessed and shown a Roman patriotiem, fortitude, and jurance. She is dear to us for her revol onary memories, and, since then, for her p: triotic services every’ year and every day. Therefore 1 am sure the citizens of the capital of this nation need only appropriate measures of organization in order to make prompt and liberal offerings. As this is a meeting of citi zens, it is proper that it should be ded over by a leading citizen. I move that Col. James G. Berret be invited to act as chairman, and Mr. Joseph H. Adams, a former citizen of Bos ton, as secretary. ‘the motion was adopted and the officers choren. the chair, said that Mr. Berret, on takin, the occasion that brought them together had been so eloquently and concisely sated by the -ecretary.in whose sentiments most cordi- ally concurred, that further remarks were un- necessary on his part, and he was ready to receive any proposal from the meeting. Mr. A. K. Shepherd then offered resolntions, ed, “That the lumbia deeply sympathize with the peoule of Boston in the calamity which has fallen upon that city; that & committee of seven be appointed by the chair- man of this meeting, to be known as the Boston | exeontive committee, whose duty it shall be to solicit and collect contributions trom the citizens of the district, and transmit the same to the au thorities of n, as the offering of the Dis- trict of Columbia in alleviation of the suffering wrought by the recent disaster.” ‘The chatt appointed as the committee, Messrs. T. L. HuméC. H. Cragin, M. W. Galt, J. M- Brodhead, W. C. Bestor, J. W. Thompson and F. A. Boswell. Mr. R. 8. Davis offered a resolution that a committee of three be appointed by the chair, to proceed to Boston and confer with the au: thorities and ascertain the exact condition of affairs; and that said committee Teport to the | Governor of this District immediately on their return for his further action in the premises. Mr. Hallet Kilbourn thought the adoption of the resolution was unnecessary, and moved to iay iton the table; adopted. The meeting then jjourned. ee ge ARRESTS FOR ALLEGED CRUELTY TO ANI- MALS— Working Sick Horses—Tying Cords around Calves’ Jaws, &c.—On Wednesday, President Gatehel, of the 8S. F. T. P.O. C. 8.

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE BQARD OF COMMIS- BSIONBRS. Monday the board of metropolitan police transmitied their report for the year ending Sep- tember 30th to the Secretary of the Interior. The report says: “While no serious popular disturbances or formidable riotous demonstrations have oc- carred within the District during the past year, yet felonious homicides and violent assaults upon the person have been more frequent than during any similar period since the close of the late war. Noticeably common have resistanc to and assaults upon police officers in the ¢ charge of their official duties become within the past few months.” * * * “May not the cause be traced, in @ certain extent at least, to the fact that there are now in our jail some ten or eleven persons accused of murier, only two or three of whom have been tried for the crimes of which they stand charge * * * “There can be no doubt that punishment following quickly and surely upon the commission of crime exerts a restraining aud salutary in‘iu- ence upon persons disposed to commit crime. THE NECESSITY OF NEW STATION HOUSE in the first, second, fifth, sixth, and seventh precincts is referred to. INCREASE OF THE FORCE NECESSARY. The board again urge the necessity of an in- crease of the force, as with the present number @ single man is required to guard and patrol from ten to eighty squares or blocks,an aren It is utterly impossibie for him to adequately pro- tect. “To guard the extensive improvements in the public reservations, when completed, wili be an additional duty imposed upon the force. as during the past year quite a number of com- plaints Rave been made of acts of lawlessness in public squares, which would seem to require the constant attendance of an officer both day and night. They recommend that the increase be not less than fifty privates and twelve sergeants, which would bring the force vp to a standard of three hundred, including officers and men. THE ILLICIT LIQUOR TRADE. ‘They urge again summary and stringent laws for the punisbment of persons engaged in the iMicit sale of intoxicating liquors.

TRE SICK HORSES SLOWLY IMPROVING—sRYB- RAL CASES OF DROPSY—ONE DBATH FROM THAT CAUSB—DEATAS SINCE YESTERDAY, Bre. The bad weather of the past few days has considerably celayed the reeovery of horses afficted with the epidemic, although most of them are slowly improviog. Some of the large stables have no bad case, but the ma- jority of them have one or more animals in a eritical condition, Among those are four or five ELL-DEPINED CASRS OF HORSE DEOPSY. ‘There is one of these in Pumphrey’s stables, on C street, between 4 and 6th streets. A valaa- ble horse belonging to Mr. Kelleher, who keeps a livery stable on 8th street, near E, died thl< morning of dropsy. The horse had been but slightly affected by the epidemic, and on Mon. day and Tuesday was inservice. On Wednes- y last its lege began to swell, ana yesterday Ganks and body commenced swelling. [ts ath was no doubt attributable to the fact that it was worked in the rain and canght a fresh cold, which ended in dropsy. A few street cars were running to-day on the Avenue and 7th-street routes. The horses of the Columbia railroad will not be put to work under ten days, as President McKelden believes itunadvisable to use them until they are entirely well. DEATHS SINCE YESTERDAY.

Defense was that the’ duties required nant were in excess of the contract, the horses were sick. Kelleher was fined $10 and costs. An appeal was taken and bonds given... CONDUCTORS HAVE A RIGHT TO ENPORCE GOOD “ORDER AND PROPRIRTY ON THE 8TREST cars. Joseph T. Carberry was charged with assault and battery ou John D. Buckley on the 14th instant, on 15th street. Mr. Carberry is a street car conductor, and it was testified to by severa’ witnesses that on Tuesday afternoon last Mr. Buckley got on the car of accused in an intoxi- cated state, and was ejeeted by the latter; that Buckley attempted to get on the car |, and was struck by the conductor se times in the face while holding od to the railing, and forced to release his grasp; that this was repeat- ed the second and third times; the last timscom- plainant was red some hundred yards, daring which time accused was striking iis hands and endeavoring to force him off. Some of the witnesses who saw the transaction testified to this effect for the prosecution, and that the force used was not in their opinion justified by the cireumstances as there were persons standing about ready to aid the con duetor in taking the comptafnant off. On the part of the defence witnesses testified that com plaiuant got into the car in an intoxicated state and mare himself so obnoxious to the passen: gers, tome of whom were ladies, that they requested the conductor to eject him; that the latter remonstrated in a gentle manner with him, and him to leave the car; that Buckley refused sayin, he had paid his fare and intended to ride; that the con- ductor offered to retarm his fare, which Buckley accepted, and then refused to leave, faa gad language, ym and ejected him; that Bu being very much enraged, made several attempts to regain his place in the car, evidently with the pu of aseailing the conductor, but was kept off by the latter, during which resistance the conduc- torstruck him several times. oo testified that in their opinion the conductor was justified in doing what he did, and that no more force was used than necessary. The judge stated that his firet impressioms were that the conduc- tor was inhuman, but the testimony for the de- fence had somewhat modified his views. It did not appear that any more force had been used than the circumstances of the case required, and le dismissed the case.
