Williams a= a candidate to fill the vacancy cause by the ceath of W. D. Forster. Parnon Recommevoxy.—The Attorney General has recommended the pardon of Joseph Lackey, of South Carolina, a convicted kuklux, erving atermof eight years in ne A! penitentiary, at which place he has been incarcerated since May, 1 ‘TBE LEAVES OF ANSENCE of the following- named officers have been extended, as follows Captain De Witt ©. Poole, 22d Infantry, five months; Second Lieutenant Wentz ©. Miller, 4th cavalry, ten days. Captam ¢ Hale, 7th cavalry, has been granted six months leave of absence. THE aprroreiaTions which Congress will be asked to make at the coming session, in- cluding the estimates for the next fiscal year and very large deficiencies for the present year, there is reason to believe will be greatly in excess of the appropriations for any year since the beginning of President Grant’s admi tration. A Very PINE picture has just been finished by Miss Pollock, of Baltimore, for the Treasury building, to which place tt has been sent. It is a life size bust of Secretary McHenry, painted from an old crayon. Itissatd to bean admir able likeness, and as a work of art it haselicited high commendation from the knowing in such matters. IT 18 STATED in our western exchanges that Mr. Hill, one of the publishers of the Portland Oregonian, has started for Washington for the nly avowed purpose of having Senator Hi ple-Mitchell expelled from the Senate. He brings with bim a mass of evidence, which he claims will place the Senator in a position 8» obnoxious that he will be glad to vacate hi« seat. Tue Cotton Cxovr.—The Agricaltural de- partment reports that the prospect of the cotton crop is not so good as it was on the Ist of Sep tember. Worms and caterpillars have been unususily numerous a tion of the erop has tu y after being gathered. The monetary stringency has, of course, checked the ment somewhat, bat it is now becoming a again, and the yield is probably equal to the demand.

The Colonel is looking remarkably well, and reports Mrs. P. as much improved in health. ‘They located for the present at (05 Lith street await- ing the completion of their own honse. - Luke P. Poland is in the c * - Baker, commissioner of p to New York for a few d ertson, of South Carolina, ital, re- isin the city. “Wo Burnep Cotumpta?”—The contro- versy about the burning of Columbia, S. U., has received a quasi formal determination by the British-American mixed commission. The con troversy grew out of claims for cotton destroyed in the burning of Columbia, which claims were based upon the assumption that the city was burned by the federal soldiers, acting under the authority of the federal commanders. The vast mass of testimony taken on that subject was before the commission, and after giving it care- ful attention, every one of those claims was dis allowed. The total amount claimed was between $6,000,000 and $7 PosTaL Savines BANK AND THR PosTat TELEGRAPA.—The republicans and reformers of Baltimore held a meeting at the New Assom bly rooms in that city last night. The princi pal speech of the evening was made by Poust- master General Creswell. Oatside of his com ments upon the need of a change in the mani- cipal administration of Baitimorc, his speech attracted general attention, because of hi+ statement of his views upon two projects—the postal savings banks and the postal telegrap!: He argued that the former wonld supply the only deficiency in the national banking eystem, by ‘protecting the interests of the depositors equally with those of the holders of the notes, and that the money deposited in them would be converted at Washington into loans and tiow out again into the country, and be always in circulation to check financial panics. Further than this, it could always be used by the govern- mentor the support of postal telegraphs. These id two measures he believed it to be the duty of the republican party to carry out, and he was confident of their ultimate success. EXAMINATION UNDER THE CivIt Sanvice RvuLes.—The board of examiners of the T'reas- ury department will hold a series of examina tions, commencing October 2, to fill vacancies im clerkships of class one. These will be the first examinations held in that department un- der the new civil service rules providing for ex- aminations by districts. Itis understood to be the intention of the Secretary of the Treasury to make the appointments, so far as practica- bie, from the districta having less than their proportion of clerks in the department. As most of the candidates will doubtless be from the vicinity of the District of Columbia, which already has much more than its proportion, only such Vacancies as must immediately be d will be filled from the examination in Washing- ton. The remainder will be left open until the district examinations about to be held in New York, Cincinnati, St. Louls, and Savannah are completed. The Treasury department has sent out circulars to all those who have on tile appli- cations for $1,200 clerkships, asking them to signify whether they prefer to appear for exam ination at one of the places above mentioned. THE CRUISE OF THE TiGRESS—Suferings of the Crew,—The Tigress left Cumberland. Gull, longitude 55°, latitude 63°, on September 16, and laid up at Niantilik to Fepair leaky boilers and take im ballast, when she left Niantilik being short of coal she satled for Ivigtat Greenland, and succeeded in obtaining a couple of hundred tons of excellent coal, which proved very valuable. The weather was very rough and the cold was very severe, while gales, more or less violent, met them daily and retarded their progress greatly. On the 4th of October the Tigress left Ivigtut, all on board being in good spirits and hopeful of finding the objects of their search. On the 5th,a moderate gale sprang up, but did no serious damage; on the 6th, however, a perfect hurricane arose, which drove them out of their course for a time and threatened to do great injury to the ship; to- ward night, the storm subsided, and with some very trifling exceptions, the ‘Tigress had es- caped unhurt. On the 7th, the crew having already become impatient at their forced de- lays, e party st northward in search of whalers, expecting to find Capt. Buddington and the remnant of the Polaris crew on board of one of them. A light northerly gale still re and in consequence of the presence igation Capt. to southward, as an early winter had evidently set in. Acting on this advice, Capt. Greer, at 4:30 o’clock in the aftet for St. Johns, keep- the whalers, and still mee! the lost men. The crew has been much reduced by the exposure to the excessive cold and by fatigue. All on board, however, are well. The Tigress will re- main to und South some repairs made necessary by the severe —— she suffered du- ring the hurricane on 6th. She will sail in k, and Capt.

U.S. PATENT Orvice, } Wasuieton, D. Cet. 18th, 1573. § Evitor Evening Star-—You* editorial remarxs in TH# STAR ot last evening, in relation to the sad death of my dear son, Mortimer, make it my daty to say a few words, even while my be- reaved heart asks for silence. Daty to the liv- ing and the memory of the dead requires a brit correction of the false impressions and state- ments going the round of the press. From the time my son entered Cornell Uni- versity, on the lith of September, he was cordially received by and became intimat the members of the older classe: s parents nearly every day, and very often spoke of the kind treatment he received at the hand of all connected with the untversity with whom he came in contact. He freqnently alluded to the entire absence of “hazing” among the stu- dents About the first of this month he informed us that he had been invited to becomea member or the Kappa Alpha Society, an old organiza tion, having its chapters in nearly all the colleges of the country. He spoke in the highest terms of the character of the young men at Cornell who belonged to it, and said that its rules prohibited its members’ from using strong ‘ink in any form, and from the useof profane obscene language, and had in view only jal and literary culture. We gave him our full consent to become a member. It was while joining this aoci seems that the ceremonies of initiation include the foolish mummery of being blind-folded and led around between two members of the society through some grove or forest in the night season. While making this ramble, and in ignorance of the immediate proximity of danger, the three were precipitated from an abrupt cliff,_my son was killed—and the other two, who were sophomores, and members of the society, very seriously injured. Mortimer was there of his own free will, and was with his own chosen friends, and by’ very careful inquiry, I am satisfied those friends were young men of unexceptionally good char- acter, among the very best in Cornell Univer- sity, and no institution in the country embraces A more promising class of young men, In the ceremonies of that awful night, those students Tal in view Mortimer’s pleasure and profit, and had no more expectation of danger or accident than he had. He was there from his own choice, and when he submitted to be blind- folded, he did only what he was informed every member hed tefore done—and probably what every person does who joins a secret society Such mummeries are foolish and heathenis: and belong to a darker age, but they are com mon in nearly all the colleges of the world, and are a part, probably, of every secret society. I canno*, therefore, find it in my heart to special ly blame these young men, nor Cornell Univer- sity. I have no doubt the sad catastrophe wil! serve to some extent as a warning against the continuance of such needless exposure,and inay save other hearts from the crushing ‘bereave- nent that has fallen upon onrs. ‘There was no ‘ hazing,” and the young men who were with and near my son at the tim: of the fatal fall were his friends, and actuated y feelings of kindness and friendship. Thave not been to Ithaca since the accident, forthe reason that I could not leave my stricken family—but shall do so very soon—though I do not expect to find the facts differing from this statement. Ithaca is my native place, and meny of my friends and relatives reside there, and ‘they have very carefully investigated the matter. Very respectfully, M.D. LeaGerr. THESTATE ELECTIONS—Ohio Still in Doult.— ‘The returns from Ohio are still of a very un- satisfactory character, and it is impossible to state detinitely who will be the next governor. The democrats ciaim Allen's election by 86) majority, and the state ticket, with the ex- ception of White for supreme judge and Wilson for controller. They also claim sixteen on joint ballot in the general assembly. The re- publicans do not give up as yet, and. claim that nothing but full official returns can definitely decide the question. Jowa.—Sixty-six counties Carpenter 12,417 hong Inthe same a ties last year Grant had a majority of 43,000. ‘The counties yet to hear from will undoubtedly increase Carpenter’s majority not less than 6,000, making his total 15,000. "The heavy gran- ger and democrat counties are all in. California.—McKinstry, the people’s can- ditate for supreme court judge, is elected by 5,000 majority. MURDER oN A M1 1ert STEAMROAT.—A colored man, whose name is unknown, and who got aboard the steamer Dubuque at Dubuque, on Sunday morning, was murdered that night by acolored deck hand. The stranger could not pay his fare, and so an attempt was made to put him off at Bellevue, Sunday morning. Some words arose between the negro and mate, whereupon a roust-about, a large fellow, inter- fered, and, apparently without provocation, struck the negro with a piece of iron and knocked bim overboard. The latter was so in- jured by the blow that he could not help him- self, and was drowned. The murderer is in custody. Tar Free RELIGIONISTS APTER THE AL- Ligp EVANGELISTS.—At last night's session of the free religious association held in New York, papers were read criticising the work accom. plished by the Evangelical alliance. One of the speakers, after discussing and describing with considerable caricature, the Re ular and ortho- dox scheme of ralvatien, said the consciousness of right and wrong is the immediate discovery of the lawsof nature. The scheme of ons thou- sand nine hundred years ago is rebuked by the millions of godly men and women, many of whom were as upright as Socrates, without his genius, who lived before that period. $$ THE TRIAL OF MansHaL BaZAINE was re- sumed at Trianon, France, yesterday. Bazaine was rigidly interrogated by the president of the court why certain dispatches were sent by him (Bazaine) to the government of national de- fence. He replied that he sent the same tothe Empress for the reason that at the time she was in his view the only representative of the government. Bazaine stated that all his acts and thoughts were for his country and the army. During the cross-examination the court room was crowded. The accused was em- barassed in manner, and often hesitated in making replies to the searching questions pro- pounded. Exection Murpers in Cavirornra.—A dispatch from Bakersfield, Kern county, Cal., gives the particulars of a ‘horrible affray near that place on election day. Larry Watson asked Moses Gilman for whom he had voted, and upon receiving a reply, struck him on the head with a pistol, inflicting a wound which resulted in the death of Gilman. Robt. Peppard and others then attempted to arrest Larry. when he drew aknife and stabbed Peppard twice, intlicting mortal wounds. Peppard then got the knife away from Watson and stabbed him, when both felland died within two minutes of each: other. give Governor Saw FRANCISCO Vs.

He admitted the conversation in her parlor, and when he said he thought he would have to hunt up a wife the widow Halbert leaned her head over to him and remarked that he ‘ought to be careful, as it was a very serious business.” From that time she set in to court him, and courted him hard, but he would admit that he went to see her hag 2 often, and did a great dealof caressing. He further swore that there was a great deal of talk about marrying before it was fixed up for certain, and in that time it was fully agreed that each one should have their own property, and the other should have no say about the other'sestate. The widow was worth £5,000 or $6,000, and he wanted al) that to go to her children, and he wanted his for his own children, unless he saw proper to giv: her some of it. He was ready and writing to marry her in January, if she had signed the paper he took to her; had ordered his wedding suit; made arrangements about the preacher and license, but when the old woman got mad and called him ‘old Baker,” and said she would not do as his first wife had done for him, and made away with her property, and refused to sign the agreement, he thought he would let her f° nd that day he swore he would never be in another woman. He admitted having met a lady in Baltimore at Christmas, and hay ing married her in April, 1873, but he never had any idea of marrying her until the plain’ acted so badly and worried him so mach. There was a good deal of other evidence, but the abore gives a correct idea of the cn: neountered.

SUATIER, Ne Wants a New Trial for Hts Life, The Motion Argued To-day. New Trial Granted. In the Criminal Conrt (Judge MacArthur) to- dey, the motion for a new trial was argued in the case of Hope H. Siatter, convicted on Sat- nrday last of the der of Michaei Hussey ta August last. The prisoner was brought into the court-room (with Michael Kane, convicted of manslanghter in killing his brother, who was brenght out for semtence,) at a few minutes @f i1e'clock, and appeared im remarkably goad spirits, There comparatively fe persone. fi the court-reo: Several of thg jarore who sat ip the case worg prenent. 1:18 the Court was opened, and the oner took a seat near his counsel, Jui General Henkle, and Mr. Williams, Mr. Har- Lington being seated on the opposite side of the tae General Henkie read the motion published in Tux Stak of Thursday, premising that some of the grounds the defence would not rely on, but had incorporated them out of abundant eau- tion. He did not insist on the 4th, Sth and 6th grounds, (errors by the court), nor apon the 7th, charging misconduct by the jury, as om in- vestigation they found that it could not be maintained. They relied emphatically upon the ground of newly discovered — evidence. The following are the grounds ae- signed in the motion. —Ist. “Phe tot was aga’ the evidence. 24.

For that the defendant, since the trial and verdict, has discovered evidence material to his defence, and of which neither he nor his counsel bad any kno trial, and could not have discovered by reasonable diligence. THR NEWLY DISCOVERED BVIDENCE. Gen. Henkle then read an affidavit by Lang- Smith, who testifies that on th night in question (0th of August) he was emp asa Waiter at Alrabam's booth, (20 yards north of Wills’, in which the homicide took pi in passing Wills’ he heard « party M. The verdict was the court to the jary. since learned was Michael Hussey) say: “1 will take you by the ears and batt your brains out; that ‘a woman was then laying on Siatter’ shoulder; that Hussey struck Slatter, « tussle followed, and Hussey said he was cut. THE THUG KNIVES. Gen. Henkle then calied attention to the evi- dence of N. H. Duprez, who had testified to Slatter having received three knives, (of the New Orleans thug character,) and to account for the same he read an affidavit by Calvin L. Sayre that in May last he had been attacked by a body of five men; that.in consequence of the threats made. being desirous of having the | means of procection, he applied to detendant to et bim a knife from one Thomas Boyland, in | New Orleans, and the defendant sent a dispatch for the knives—one tor Hannegan and the other for the affiant—and they were brought here by express. Also read the affidavit of Edw Kelly that Hannegan did not call for his knife, and he (K.) took it. Also the afidavit of Gillis Key, employed at Ir. Filbert's office, who testi- fied ‘to the knives being delivercd, and that there were but two, not three. THE QUESTION OF MALICE. Gen. Henkle, ingly of the responsibility of and espectally to one whose life w proceeded to re- the killing, and uoting trom the charge of the court, be claimed at there was no ex s8 malice in the case, except as to the charac- therefore there was no mer in They ilar to ution—a thug—but a knife war ased. one exhibited by the prese there was no proof that » How could he have lad any malice against just becn introduced, of his hospitality? ‘ould not claim that be was lunocent of manslaughter, but did contend that he was not Wer, as he understood the detini- atcrime. He further claimed that his poor client on the night in question was not im condition to form # deliberate intent to commit surder. Drunkenuers, it is true, is not an ex- cuse for the commission of a crime, but it should be considered by the jury as to whether he could have formed a deliberate intention to take life. GOOD CHARACTER. The defendant had proven a good character at every place where he had lived; and was it probable that, on the slight provocation of an offensive remark, be would furm the deliberate intention to take life and carry that intention intoefiect? Tbe jury had found that he had malice, but they could only have so foand on the presumption that he was in the habit of carrying such 4 murderous weapon as the one described. Although he owned a knife of the dirk kind, be did not make ® practice of car- rying one except when out paying the ands, He claimed that the jury iguored all the pre- rumptions of innocence. Gen. H. then referred davit of Langdon Smith, and claimed tbat his statement corresponded in some re- rpects with that of the woman. He would not ay whether it was true or not, but would say that they were entitled to have it go to # jury. ME. HARRINGTON CONTENT TO LEAVE THE Cate WITH THE COURT. Mr. Harrington said that he would not dis- curs the facts, but would be comtent to submit the care, as far as the government was con- cerned, to the sound discretion of the court, as he felt satisfied that the prisoner would have full justice done him. He also knew that the facts were still fresh in the mind of the oo: and it would not be necessary to again detail them. Judge Rice injuired if the court would bear any further arguments. New Trial Granted, Judge MacArthur replied that it was unne- cessary. He proceeded to decide, after remark- ing that such motions are addressed to the sound discretion of the court. The court was entirely satistied with the conduct of the jury, who for several bours deliberated on their ver- dict. On the trial the jury was asked to acquit on the grounds of excusable homicide. The jur; could not have found such @ verdict on the evi dence adduced; it would have been out of place. It is possible barely under the eviden: offered that the prisoner was convicted of a crime higher than that of which he was guilty. Had the newly discovered evidence been offered at that trial, it would have doubtiess had an ef- fect on the jury, especially as to the point inthe charge in which it is stated that nothing short of violence or fear of great bodily harm is anexcuse for taking lite. On the wi evi- dence before the jury they might and likely did inter that there was no provocation, bat in view of the newly discovered evidence’ it was the safest course to give the prisoner the benefit of it by granting the application. On the subject of Lomicides, he feit that it was important for the community that the verdict of juries shouid be sustained, and although he had tried a num- ber of such cases, this was the first in which he had granted a new trial. He had im none of them felt that degree of doubt which he had felt in this case; thie doubt arising from the pre- sentation jof the affidavits ‘to-day. He would, therefore, set aside the verdict, ana grant a new trial. Gen. Henkie asked that the case be continued to the next term. The court so ordered, and the prisoner was remanded to jail -soo- Rum axp Rewonse—Atiempt of a Bostonian to Moricl Coil.—& young man named tcomb, of Boston, went to New York last we@k.
