The Hews. The partioulars of a bloody tragedy which oc- curred at Nevasink on Friday night are given in to- day's HeraLp. A young man named Alfred I’. Moses, a barkeeper at the Sea View House, had his | throat cut while in bed. He lived about three hours after. Coroner Connery, of New York, held an | ante-mortem examination, ia which the man stated | that the bookkeeper of the house, one Donnelly, cut | his throat and then robbed him of a considerable | sum of money, part of which he had won in gamb- | ling from Ponnelly on the previous evening. He re quested that the money should be sent to Mrs. Matilda Conklin, of 151 Locust street, Philadeiphia. | Donnelly is in custody. | The Police Commissioners held a stormy session yesterday. After a heated debate on the rule under which the candidate should be elected to succeed Mr. Draper, one hundred and seventy-two unsuccess- fol ballotings were had, Messrs. Bowen, Nye and Strapaban voted for Cyrus Curtis; Messrs. Wood and Powell for Royal Phelps, and Mr. Cholwell for | Daniel Uiiman. The ballot was adjourned until Monday. The Committee on Appointments and Re mova)s submitted a report denying the Mayor the appoistment of the special men asked for by him» and reflecting rather strongly upon bim. An acri- monious and spicy debate ensued, which is given in our report. A resolation was adopted ordering the Generai Superin‘endent to detail the requisite num- ber of men at the Mayor's office, the Mayor voting in the regative. ‘Lhe argument in the Conover injunction ease was con Inded yeeterday in the Common Pleas Court, but the Cecision was reserved.

For some months past the crgans of the ultra State rights democracy in the South been keeping up an uniater:upted fire upon the ad- mivistration of Mr. Buchanan. The ostensible cause for this eudden outbreak and this terrible war has becu an Imagiuary offence given by Gov. Walker, of Kansas, to the intractable, unman- ageable, irrational ultraists of the South, The offence was contained in two eentences of Gov. Walker's inavgural, in one of which he intimated hie opinion that Kansas was destined to bea free State, ard in the other of which he declared that the coi to be framed by the convention should first be submitted to und voted upon by the residents of the Territory. These are the dire offences that have brought down on the head of the offending Governor, and on the head of the administration that is responsible for and endorees his official ects, the vials of indignation and wrath discharged by the out-and-out State rights organs and politicians of the South. It is dificult for plain common sense matter-of- fact people to see wherein Governor Walker and the sdministration have merited condemnation in this matter. It Mr, Walker bas expressed an opinion that the soiland climate of Kansas are not favorable to the profitable employment of lave labor in the Territory, be did but repeat what has been over aud over again solemnly as serted in Congress by Southern aad Northern supporters of the Kamas Nebraska bill Ard he dd volunteer the somewhat unnecessary agsu- rance that the coustitution would be submitted to the people for their approval or rejection, he but promised that which waa theirs as a right; and uithough the ement might be somewhat of % ogation, it certainly could not be rea- sonably denounced a an injury and a wrong to the interests of the 5 ‘These are the two great charges against Gov. Wall If there be any other, we confess to our ignorance thereof. These two, we beliove, fill op the whole measure and extent of bis of- feuce. “Frivolous and sbsurd" would be the verdict of ordinary commou sense men on these charges ard specifications of Southern ultra- wis. But there latter thipk gifferently. Ju their cyes Walker kas been guilty of the most heirous political crime: and naught but his removal or the alteriiative annihilation of Mr. Buchanan and his Cabinet will sppeee ir wrath. To attaia cither of these objec e blood. and-thunder organs of the State rights democracy of the South have, for the last month or two, kept up a continuous fire upon the edministration, seconded by the resolu- tions of democratic conventions in Georgia, Mis tivsippi ard elsewhere, and by the rantings and ravings of fire-eating Soutbern politicians. Now all this is very inconsistent, very ridicu- lous, and very unwise conduct on the part of It is very incoutistent, because we kuow that this eelf- eome class of Southern ultraists was the most per- tittent in its demand that Mr. Buchanan should appoint this very eatne Robert J. Walker bis Sec- retary of Sta and it must have been partly owing to their that office that Mr. Buchanan selected him to fill the office that be now holds. Instead, therefore, of essuiling both so desperately and so cansel it should be rather the aim of there Southera fire- brands to defeud Governor Walker from attack, and even to shield bim if be were really open to blame. Their ccurve plain to th is very ridicul meanest understan: the South is concerned, she t can have vo jurt cause of quarrel with Governor Walker's ‘The « alleged are altogether too of e if not a cause for, at least ding that sy far as at ¢ frivolous and absurd to deserve attention. course there must urse ¢ uo object in there attacks. The objcct of them may be found probab’y in the fact that elections teke place this week in six of the Sonthorn States, to wit: in Keatucky, Tennessee, Mis souri, Georgia Alabama and Lovisiana. The chetion of a United States Senator ts also pending in Virginia. In the South, as in the North, altogether too much apatby in pol cal matters ie shown by those who constitute the wealth and w of the country. The wealthy planters there, just asthe tich merchants here, manifest very little interaet in political affairs; and there e# here, briciess lawyers and other such adventurers oonstitute the clase of active politicians. To forward some partisen iatercet in these epproaching elections may be the mo- tive of the virulent attacks opened by the fanatic Southern press upon the administration. That is one clue to the solution of the enigma. The otber is that this is a determined effort on the part of some Southern demagogues to obtain ‘ach an inflaence over Mr. Buchanan's Cabinet us Jeffereon Davis wielded so fatally over poor Pierce's in reference to the sume eubject, ‘The course of these Southern journals and couventions and politicians is not only incon- sistent and ridiculous, bat it is unwise, It is a couree which if persisted in and driven to ite consequential limits, may agnihilate the national democratic party. The national whig party was biotted out of existence Wy just such causes.

No case, in any volume of cele- brated causes, can Compare with it for vividness of interest, intense passion, and dramatic effect. The chief figure in the case, Madeleine Smith, is the daughter of a Scotch architest, a man of fortune, aad sdmitted to good society. Madeleine wea bereeif a well-known Giasgow belle; though not positively beautiful, her features were good enough to be remarked, her complexion was very fice, and her manner elegant and finished. There has been eome tslk abcut the neglect of her pa- rents; about her foudness for novel reading, and the waat of control over her posseased by her parente, These statements rest upon no weil estwblished basis, aad are the mere guesses of newspaper writers, There is nothing to show that abe cajoyed more liberty than is claimed and epjoy<d by at least balf the young ladies of her there apy ground fer: the is that novel reading-hed to do with her fall This lastisa pious fraud of tite'Presbyteriaa clergy.

He was amiable, | with something chivalrous about him, in the | French way; talkative, vaio, an¢ boastfni; aud duly impressed with the essentially French dog- ma that all women are loose if they are assailed in the proper way. He assailed Miss Smith; was received by her in her bedroom efter her gister had gone to bed; having ao ecraple of principle to overcome, he interpreted this liberty as every Frencbman, and most young men of other na- tions, would, and acbieved ber ruin. He was not, however, a thoroughly heartless and bad maa, There is reason to believe that he | was sincere in his desire to marry Miss Smith; though a salary of only one hbuadred and fifty dollars a scar oppoaed for the present a rather awkward obstacle, he seems to have entertained various projects for bettering | bis condition and uniting his fortunes with hers. Ard whea the merchant Mr. Minnoch began to pay his addresses to Madeleine and that highly practical young ludy testified o marked pre- ference for him over her old lover, the young Frenchman opposed it ia the most strenu ous and effectual way. Had he been a mere common seducer, he would have thrown a0 impediment in the way of the ardent but some- what verdaut Minnoch, whose timely proposals might bave convenicatly cloaked the unholy love. But he not only refused to countenance Minsoch, but used the most effective threat he could—a threat to enclose Madeleine's letters to her father—to deter his faithless mistress from ber aim. This appears to be the most honorable —indeed the only honorable—feature in the case. Madeleine's hopes were conpletely frustrated by her lover's obstinacy. Her letters, on which we shall have a remark to make presently, so palpably disclosed the fact of her unholy love, that to make them public was not only to ruin the Minuoch affair but most likely to produce an irreparable breach between her and her father: She besought L’Angelier with eloquence which reminds one of Roussean’s Heloiee to spare her. He persisting, ehe alters her tone; having assared | him before that ber love for him had faded away, | she now protests that it has revived, and beseeches an interview.

The cbief ground, agit seems, on which the ten jurymen considered the charge aot proven was the extraordinary pathos and sentiment of the tady’s letters.
