In itwere found a bottle of diamonds a bottle of pearls, a bottle of attar of roses, and a lump of gold. ‘One of the older employes tified these as articles which had been pre- sented to President Monroe about the year 18233 by the Japanese government, and which had been stored in the Treasury pending the pas- sage of an act of Congress authorizing their ac ceptance.

Mr. Veazey is a well known member of the Balti- more bar, and is about 35 years of age. He was president of the first branch of the sey council turing Mayor Whyte's first year, and was by him Sue city solicitor. rved in that capacity until Mayor Latrobe became mayor. He is at presenta member of the law firm of Pinkney & Veazey. The appointment is under- stood to be a compromise among the Maryland delegation with the exception of Representa- tive Findlay, who favored the appointment of Gen. Horn. Findlay was backed by Bradley ‘T. Johnson and a number of independent dem- cerats.

An improper appointment is a pubic calamity, and it is better to. move slowly.

THE CORONER'S INQUEST—EXCITEMENT AMONG ‘THE COLORED POPULATION. Special Correspondence of THE EVENTNa STAR, ROCKVILLE, May 7th. The finding of the body of Andrew Thomas in a@ terribly mutilated condition in a secluded place in the Big Pines reveals a deed of horror heretofore unknown in the annals of Montgom- ery county. The jury of inquest, with a number of persons, arrived on the spot yesterday after- noon, The bones of the supposed murdered man had been stripped of all the flesh and clothing by the dogs save the two feet, which were still intact in a pair of heavy, coarse boots. The victim's knife and pocket book were found, The latter contained a dollar and three cents. A half pint flask, found in one of the pockets of his coat, contained about a gill of liquor. Por- tions of the skelton were found some Gee! from where the body first laid, evidently dragged about by the dogs. One leg, broken midway be- tween the knee and ankle, gaye evidence that the fracture had been made by a blow. Great clots of blood were found in the legs of the boots, There were no fractures on the skull, buttwo front teeth were missing, and a third one half broken off. ‘The Jury of inquest after examining three with relating to the finding of the body and iis identification, and the facts attending the man's disappearance, adjourned to meet in Rockville on Friday, when the consideration of the case will be resumed. Under the direction of Mr. Henderson, the states attorney, Franic Jackson, one of the Jackson brothers, who had been arrested on the farm of Mr. George Robert- son, a few hours after the news of the finding of the body, was brought by Sheriff Kelehner be- fore the jury of inquest pending Its sitting. Jackson corroborated the statement made by him after the disappearance of Thomas, that there had been a fracas between Thomas, his brother George and himself, that Thomas was the aggressor; that no violence had been used on Toinas save by the hand, and that princl- peuy by his brother George. That he and his rother orge Went to their sisters, and that Thomas went on down the road in the direction of his home. It was the opinion of all present that Thomas had come to his death from violence inflicted on his person. Opinion, however, is divided as. to whether he was killed instantly in. the alter- cation with the Jackson brothers and then re- moved and hidden in this out of the way pace: or that by reason of the violence of the blows. received he had become bewildered, wandered to the place where he was found, and perished from exposure. It was stated by several pres- ent that the night of the 28th was very cold and inclement, ‘The finding of the body of the sup- ed murdered man Was the all-absorbing lopic of conversation here last night until a late hour with extraordinary excitement among the colored population. George Jackson was ar rested late yesterday evening near or on the farm of Mr. Montgomery. Alexandrin Affairs.

Price) led the friends of Mr. Brockett to ask a recount of the vote, The recount was finished this af- ternoon, and showed an increase of one vote for Price in the first ward, but no variation changing the result. Mr. Brockett will present the committee evidence showing that while some persons not democrats were allowed to vote, the yotes of other persons not democrats were refused. ‘Tue Crry GouNcrt ticket nominated at the democratic primaries is as follows: First ward— alderman, W. 8.

Now another movements 1n progress to build either a steam or horse rail- way from this place to Mount Vernon. It seems likely that, as a result of the project, a lateral Une will bé made from some point on the Penn sylvania company's Richmond road to Wash- a's tomb. “Nores.The teachers of Washington and Lee school have organized a reading club.—The funeral of John Ross, a well-known colored man here, took place to-day, Qolon will sail from Aspinwall for New York to- day, and will carry one-half the marines sent to he Lethmus some weeks since.
