CORNER OF FULTON AND NASSAU STS. oS Volume EVIL... ccceesenesece eee: NOs S70 New York, Friday, Feb. 27, 185%. ‘Whis Morning’s Summary--The Newsfrom Europe, &. ‘The news from Europe, by the Atlantic, pos- seases considerable interest. The execution of the assasiin priest, who attempted the murder ef the Queen of Spain, and seriously wounded her with a @agger—the execution of the agent of Kossuth, who was arrested in the act of inciting the Hunga- rian soldiery in the Austrian service to re- volt —the appointment of Sir Edward Bel- her to the command of the Arctic expedition, which is about to ronew the search for Sir John Franklin—the imprisonment of the famous Feargus O'Connor for an assault upon a constable, areamong the interesting items of intelligence by this arrival. The independence of Switzerland, the only republic of Europe, is menaced, and the Grand Turk is likely to pay the penalty of his liberalityto Kossuth. Everything seems to indicate, not tho progress of Fevolutionary ideas, but the progress end firmer establishment of despotism onthe Continent. Louis Napoleon seems immovably fixed in his position, and his government is really a strong one, because 3s is backed by the French nation. a downright absurdity. It is the Parisian jour- Balists and litterateurs, who have been extinguished by Louis Napoleon, that have given a tone to their brethren of the British press, who, in turn, have given a tone to a ‘arge portion of the Ameri« ean press. The presses on both sides of the Atlan- tie are beginning to come right at last. The Hepavp was right from the beginning. In England alone does there appear to be any advance towards freedom. Earl Granville, as will be een by his circular, has refased to expel or de- liver up the political refugees in London; and Lord John Russell has introduced areform of the Reform bill—more tinkering of the old pot. This samo statesman declared the Reform bill of 1932 “final,” and hence ho was nicknamed Lord John Finality; but it seema he is now of a different opinion, and proposes to lower the fran- chise from £10 to £5 in English boroughs, and gw lreland from £8 to £5. Bat there is no exten- sion in counties. of a boon, after all. tory but household suffrage, or universal suffrage and vote by ballot. To that complexion it will | Justice Osborn. come at last. In the United States Senate yesterday, Mr: Rhett, of S. C., announced that he would to-day endeavor to reply to the recent attacks upon hia prin- ciples by Messrs. Cass and Clemens. This promises to be a somewhat rich affair. As these gentlemen represent threo of the four factions into which the democratis party is now split—Mr. Cass being an Olid School, Mr. Clemens a Union, and Mr. Rhott a Southern Rights democrat—a tart debate may be anticipated. Should John P. Hale, the great free soil democrat, conciude to season the dish with his voice, which it is likely he will, the family stow will be complete. Mr. Miller, of N.J., madea speech in support of Mr. Clarke’s non-interveation resolutions. Mr. Seward got the floor, and the subject was thon postponed till the 9th proximo. By this it appears as though our grave Senators find the discussion of the intervention question rather unprofitable, and are inclined to drop it. The bill explanatory of the bounty land act of September, 1450, occupied the entire attention of the House of Representatives yesterday; and pending the uestion of ita final passage, the body adjourned. By this bill, all officers and soldiers, whether regulars, volunteers or militia, who were aetrally engaged in the war of 1812, and the Mex. Sean and Florida wars will be entitled to one hundred and sixty acres ofland. The samo beneiit will bo extended to those naval officers, sailors and ma- rines who were wholly or partially occupied in the land service, where they had no opportunity of making repricals during the said wars. This appears to be a fair measure—treating all alike— and will probably become a law prior to the close of the present session. The Indiane whig State conventiion yesterday inetructed thoir delegates to vote for Gen. Scott for President, and John 1. Crittenden for Vice Presi- dent. Nothing ofimportance transpired in the State Senate yesterday. The Assembly was engaged on the contested election case from the Sixtenth dis- trict of this city. The result was that the Hon. Ephraim L. Snow was allowed to retain his seat by his own vote. It isnot likely that the worthy disciple of temperance ever before had the most remote iden of how much his vote was worth to himeclf. We understand that Col. Mejia, of Mexioo, is on his way to Washington, with despatches for the Mexican Minister, relative to the Tehuantepec treaty. Something definite will now be made known concerning this affair, which is now enve- loped in mystery and darkness. Another philantisrophist—the Rov. Calvin Fair- banks—has been found’guilty of stealing negroes, and sentenced to the Kentucky penitentiary for fif teen years. It is not often that these pious aboli- tio: allow themselves to bo caught south of Mason and Dixon’s line—they generally prefer sending their more ignorant dupes—for instance, the three negroes who were recently captured and fold in Texas, for attempting to ranoffa slave. It is likely that a great rputter will be made with re- gard to the hard case of the Rev. Mr. Fairbanks although little or nothing has been caid concerning bis three colored condjutors in Texas. Some $50,000 worth of property belonging to the Vermont Central Railroad, was destroyed by fire, no Wednorday night; in consequence of which the stock of said road eold at a decline in tho Boston market yesterday. ‘The Now Orleans papers are impressed with the idea that Caravajal will this time succeed in subdu- ing the city of Matamoras.

He and his fillibusteros, or revolu- tionists, have advanced soveral times into Mexico, until they met an opposing force equal to their own, when beth parties would become greatly alarmed, and run from each other as fast as their lege, horses, and mules would carry them It is said that Caravajal has some six hundred Americans with him thistime.

This investigation will bring out a vast developoment of curious matters in connection with Gardiner‘s claim, Mears’ claim, and others of which we have heard so much.

No opera singer has ministered so much to the delight of the lovers of music or the highest order, for the last two or three years, as Steffanone, who is worth half a dozen even of artists who have somes reputation. She always succeeds in what she undertakes, and never fails to please, Unitke some musical wonders that flash for a moment as a meteor or a borealis, and thea disap- pear in darkness, to the disappointment of the hopes formed of them, she is always the same, shining with steady ray, like a fixed star of the first magnitude, or forth a never failing, ever-gushing stream of purest melody, likea perenrial fountain whose supply is inexhaustible The public owe hera debt of gratitude which they will cheerfully pay her to-night, in an over- flowing “ bumper.” But not only is there the obligation, the pleasure, and the opportunity of rendering this m: nificent artist the meed of merit, but there is the attrac- tion ef one of the finest of all the operas of that delight- fal composer, Rossini, splendidly brought out, and having excellent performers in the principal parte—JSte{Tauone being a host in herself. Otto Grunzig, the Murderer of his Wife. APPROACHING EXECUTION—THE LAST DAY OF THE RESPITE—AN AFFECTING SCENE WITH HIS CHILD AND MISTRESS. To day, unless a farther interposition be granted by Governor Hunt, Otto Grunzig will end his earthly course on the gallews, for the murder of his wife Victorine, by poison, which took place in August last, since whioh time he has been confined inprison. In November last, Grun- zig was sentenced to be executed on the 231 of January. A respite was granted by the Governor for one week; a second respite was then granted by the Executive for four weeks, terminating on Friday, the 27th of Febraary (this day); and should no other stay arrive, from Judge or Governor, Sheriff Carnley will carry out the fulfilment of the law, by hanging this unfortunate man by the neck until dead. ‘The last reprieve granted by the Executive was allowed on representations made that certain developements had come to light, by confessions made by the mistress of Grunzig, that she placed the poison in the house, which resulted in the death of Victorine, the wife of Granzig, for which crime he alone has been convicted, and is about. to suffer death. Ali the factsand evidence taken before at the request of the Governor. touching the matter at Issue, as to whether there was good ground for believing Granzig innocent of the crime imputed to him, have been forwarded to the Executive of the State, who alone will be called upon to eay, upon all the facts elicited, whether or not there is sufficient reason to warrant, in his jadgment, a further reprieve of several monthe, during which time other facts and circumstan- ces may yet be shown, extending « still further doubt of guilt on the part of Grunzig as to the administering of the poison. On Wednesday night, ® telegraphic despatch was re- ceived from Albany. sent by the counsel of Grunzig, stating that but little hope was to be anticipated, the Goverpor saying he would give his final decision on Thursday morning. The German friends of Grunzig have always strongly believed that the executive would yet grant a further reprieve, satisfied, as they appear, that the doomed man is innocent of the murder imputed to him, on which he has been convicted. Grunzig him- self has ever protested his innocence since his arrest, and believes that it cannot be possible that the law will hang an innocent man. Yesterday morning he exhibiteed much excitement, feeling it to be his last dey, and at times seemed to be very flighty. He alao ex- preseed, strong wish to have an interview with Margi Lohrens, the mother of his children. This request Mr. Edmonds, the humane warden of the prison, was very willing to allow, but did not feel at liberty to do so, when unauthorized by Mr. Blunt, the District At- torney. The object of this interview, it seems, as ex- prersed by Grunzig, is to give her instructions about his children, and aleo, we understand, believing that she will openly confess the trath relative io the manuer the poison was placed in the house. However, Mr Edmonds took the prisoner to see his child, which is ke; other part of the prison, deriguated for females. The interview between the father and the infant, not yet a was truly an affesting scene. The child sprang for his arms. recognising him at once, and the poor fel- low clasped his child to his bosom, kissing it again and again, bis whole frame moving under the most intense feelings of excitement. He then looked at his child in the face, talked to him in German. and the little fellow, apparently understanding what was said, looked and clapped bis hands,and made some reply in baby talk, which could be much better understood on witnessing the scene than it is possible to describe. Gruazig again, on this occasion, appealed to Mr. Edmonds to rant him an interview with Margaretta; but the warden infermed him that he could not do so until he received tne authority from Mr. Blunt. The unbappy man stated that he had addressed a letter to Mr. Biunt on that sub- ject; that he wanted to see Margaretta respecting the children, and to give her instructions about them. “But,” ssid he, “how can I do ao unless I nee her! I cannot tell her anything when I am dead,” The unfortunate man then took leave of his child, and was eonducted back to his cell. Within the li dsy or two he has evidently undergone a great change; he appears flighty, bordering on insanity— caused from the fact, probably, of not beholding a ray ot hare whereby the awful sentence of the law can be stayed. ‘The perronal appearance of Otto Grunzig is far from what people would designate a murderer; he has a fine formed face, is genteel looking, and polive in his man- ners; his age is $3 years, and he was born in Prassia; he has a fat! and mother, a brother, and fonr sisters, living in Berlin; his trade is @ machinist, at which he worked up tothe time of his arrest. About two years ego, he emigrated to this country; and # short time after his arrival in New York he became aoyaainted with Margaretta Lohrens, with whom he became inti- mate, and they subsequently ochabited together as min and wife. On the 1€th of March, 1861, Margaretta was confined withthe child now in prison, which we have already menticned ; and on the 18th of the same month, to- tine, the wife of Grunzig, arrived in this country ; but finding he was cohabiting with another woman, after a short time, she went out to service in the famtly cf Mr, Ogden Hoffman, where she resided until the latter part of July last. when she returned to this city about the Ist of August, and went to live with her husband, at No 105 Eldridge street. Here the diffoulty then com- menced between Margaretta and Victoriue, as to the legal posrersion of Gruuzig. Margaretta claimed him as her property and father of the child—Victoriue on her legal rights of some years standing. From that tims the hatred commenced between the two wouwen, thus placing Grunzig between two fires, not knowing which way to turn for relief. And now, according to Grunzig’s theory, Margaretis became furious, bordering on in- sanity, and plac i ises, Which be- came mixed in tie food, and thereby generated a dit of which Victorine died. Although no posi\ive was shown of poison im the body, yet, from ail the eur- rounding circumstances attending the illness of de crated, there is but littie doubt her death was the result of peisoning During the afternoon, Bheriff Oarnley vis Granzig, aod upon @ previous consultation with Me. Blunt, eon cluded to permit view with Margaretta to prevent i cipal ted him only to epeak to her through the frou door which divided the entry.

The document was then banded to Margaretta (inthe German lavguage) to read, and if rhe approved of it. to place her rignatureto it. After readimg the will, ehe returned it to him, saying: “I will not sign any paper; I would rather see eli the property in the river first ; Ioan (ake care of the children myreif, You have put ip the will that J put the poison in the house, which courted the death of Victorine. Iwill noteign such a paper—I will take care of the children myself—I will not part with them.” Grunsig asked her if ho was the fal f the children, and if she wented them to take bis name, to which rhe replied, in the most emphavie manner, that he was the father, end that she wished them to take bis parce. Grunzig then propored to write another document, leaving out the objectionable part, tn reference to the poison, and to submit that'for her inspection. Accord- ingly, he rat down in an adjoining room, and, after an hour's writing, the will and teetament was prepared, but previous to ite being submilted to Margaretta, it was read to Sheriff Cervley, and traurlated by a German es read, the substance of which is as follows :—Graa- | tig commences by giving bis name and birth place, and also of Victorine, his deceared wife; and fur- ther, that be is innocent of the erime for which he is shout to suffer death; all the fureiture he gives to Mar- garetts, end his boy the gold watch; the other watch tobe given to the child not yet born, but expected | to be brought into the world in a few days, and all his j tthe <fflecte to he equally divided batwaan the two ebildren; two guardians are appointed to look after the interest Of the children, and if the mother should not | attend to them properly, then the guardians are to step in and take the children, or to devise such means as will beet promote thelr interest; and in the event of the children dying, then the property to be given to Marga. his w how and testament, his little — effects d two gusrdians Margaretta | retta, or if the authorities after bis death shoutd punish Margaretta also for the orime, bya sentence to the State trison, that she may be allowed the children with her.

IT am innocent. Buca justice! To find me guilty when so much proof was given ‘of my innocence! When mg trial was comirg oa I thought I did not want any lawyer; I did not think that any law could find me guilty. ‘No, no. (bursting iato # jaugh) I camnot belisve Lehall be hung, nor shallI bs- Neve it until the rope is around my neck child could see my innocence. I know I am innocent.’ At this moment word came that Margaretta had read the will, and Grunzig was taken before her by ths Bheriff and Mr. Chase, his effloient deputy, This last, and parting interview, was heart- rendiog to behold. Margaretta bore in her arms the infant boy who was endeavoring to spring from thevee, through the iron bars, on beholding its father. Margaretta positively refused to sign the last document, fearfal that the guardians would dispos- sess ber some day of herohildren, Gtunaig begged of her to sign it—nay. implored her, as his last dying ra- quest; but she still refused to comply. Sheriff Jaraley then informed Grurzig that he must now take his fare- well of his child and Margaretta, as it would be his {ast interview. He refused to take any parting farewell of Margaretta, evidently vexed at her refusal to rica the will. The child wastben pzesented to bim, which he clasped in his arms, and wept most bitterly, kissing it again and again, talking to the poor innocent bade as if it understood the solemn ceremony about to de performed. Margaretta, almost overwhelmed with grief, held out her hand to Gruozig, which he ultimately seized, and a rcene then followed which the reader oan more easily imagine than can possibly be described, ‘This dreadful parting was ons long to be remembered by those who witnessed it. Sheriff Carniey and many others were compelled to give vent to their stifted foai- inge, ina manner which denotes the heart of a man for the misfortunes of his fellow-being. Gruazlg was sepa- rated from his family by the deputy sheriff, and conveyed back to his cell, accompanied by the Rey. Mr, Verren and Mr. Oamp, bis spiritual advisers. ‘The sheriff, we underatand, intends to give every fa- cility in his power towards this unfortunate and doomed wan, by postponing the execution until the afternoon, in cage, a apy possibility, a stay of proceedings or a fur= ther respite should ths come to hand. The kind attention exhibited by Sheriff Carnley to- wards the eulpritis truly commendable; everything has been done, and will be done by the sheriff that oan in any way relieve the last awful moments of this unfortu- nate sufferer.

MR. CLARK'S NON INTRRVENTION RESOLUTIONS were then taken up, and Mr. Mitten, (Whig) of N.

He rebuked the growiag | desire and ambition of certain classes of fanatical poil- ticians, to whom every thing American Was become flatand | eteie, of engrafting upon cur polley interference and in- termeddling with the affairs of foreign peopic and na- tions, He discussed the European policy of iaterven- | tion, ccmmencing with the treaty of L ht, endorsed by the treaty of Paris, and sanctified by the Holly Alli- gnce, concluded at Vienne.

L. Snow was not entitled to bie seat. The result was—ayes, 56; noes, 57. A motion to reconsider this vote was rejected—57 to 67. Mr. Van Santvoorn, (dem) of Columbia, then asked if the question did not recur upon the resolution of the mejority of the committee, denying Mr. Smith the seat, and declaring Snow elected. He called for a division of the question upon the resolution, and that the vote be taken on the latter clause, declaring Snow elected first. ‘This was decided to be out of order. Mr. Moss, (whig) of Niagara, called the break ques- tion on the first part cf the resolution. Upon the reso- lution that Mr, Smith was not entitled to his seat, Mr. Snow voted. ‘The question was raised that Mr. Snow was interested, and not entitled by the rules to vote. ‘The Breaken said the interest to exolude his vote must be ofa pecuniary character, and that the gentleman had a right to vote on the resolution, if so disposed.
