He said tac Breckin- widge and Lane party alove represented true democratic principles, and that they would ultimately prevail whea Deugiasism, Know Nothingiem and fusioniam were Jaid in the dust.

Identification of the Body of Captain Jonathan Leete, The Diseovery Due to the New York Herald. Wonderful «and Providential Coincidences, THE FAMILY'S THEORY OF THE MURDER, The Charge of Chief Justice Grier, and the Investigation of the Grand Jury. JACKALOW, THE SEPPOSED MURDERER, His Behavior---More Corrovora- tive Testimony, &o., &., &. Tazwron, Sept. 25, 1860. ‘The United Sistes Oirenit Court convened to-day, at ten o’clock A. M., before the Hon. Judge Grier as Presiding Judge, and Associate Judge Dickerson. Judge Grier | charged the Grand Jury with epecial reference to the law | concerning piracy and murder, in relation to the alleged case to which bie attention was calied by the District Attorney of Jackalow, who stood confined in the Circuit charged with that offence, Among other pointe in his charge, in reference to the crime of murder, he stated that it was not necessary to find the body in order that the grand ivquest should fad 4 bill, or a subsequent traverse jury to convict for the crime of murder, Tho statute is as followe:— If any perron shall, upon the high seas,or in any open roadstead, or in any haven, baain, or bay, or in any river where the sea ebbs acd Sows, commit the crime of robbery nor upop any of the ship’s company of any ship or yeseel, or the lading thereof, such person shall be adjudged to be a pirate, and being thereof convicted before any Circuit Court of the United States for the dis- trict into which he shall be brought, or in which he sha!! be found, shal! suffer death. ‘The Judge then laid down some principles of law re- specting the corpus delicti, The doctrine of Lord Mane- field, that a conviction should never foliow where the Dody was not prodnced, could not be held applicable as a universal rule, Many sotorious murderers would escape under # rigid enforcement of such a rule of law. Bodics might be entirely consumed by fire, or decomposed by chemicals, or sunk ipto the depths of the sea, when the production of the corjus delicti would be impossible, and yet the circumstances might very clearly point to a mur- der and to the offenders; particularly might this be the caso on tho high seas, when a whole ship’s crew might be murdered and their bodies thrown into the sea. The true rule was to be governed by such ‘an array of circumstances as point to one focus, furnish. ing clear evidence and a strong conviction on the mind thata crime had been committed, Jackalow was taken this morpirg, from the Newark, Essex county jail, by ‘the teven o’clock train, by Deputy United States Marshal Southard, to Trenton, and there lodged in the Mercer county jail. In the same train and in the same car ‘with Jackalow were quite a number of witnesses, summoned by the government against Jackalow, among whom was Susan B, Leete, the sister of Capt. Leote and brother, the murdered victims of the sloop Spray. Jack- alow, on seeing this young sister in the car, seemed to be affected, similarly, though pot so strongly as he was when the two sisters and mother were brought into his presence in Jersey City at the preliminary examination, ‘when, it will be recollected, he sobbed bitterly for half an hour. His reeent confinement in the Essex county jail, since April last, bas reduced his sys tom to such am extent that he looks feeble and prostrated. During his trip bo maintained his usual taciternity, and did not appear at all desirous to converse, though, if so inclined, his knowledge of the English language is 90 limited as to provent ite indul- ence. , he does not look tho murderer, His giimbs are sinall and delicately formed almost o femininity, and the expression of his face is so mild that, without an excited imagina- tion, be would be among the last selected as the perpetrator of #0 serious an offence. About his eye there i# a peculiarity which may be marked, bat one which ie common to all Oriontale—for it it now beyond‘ doubt that he tea Japanceo—and that ts a restlessness and wandering from object to object tn a wetchful und saspicious manner, as if be momentarily expected tomo design against him. This was particularly ovident in tho cart, and he frequently, ‘0 an earnest manner, asked the question if he was ‘te be hung to-day?” Ilia Greee on the prevent cccasion was @ red shirt and coarse pantaloons, aud he was without band cull. An unusual want of precaution with capital criminals, by the way, which indicates the simplicity of his nature, and the confidence manifested by the officere who have bim io charge that he designs po effort at escape The sisters and friends of the deceased Capt.

The Dead Letter Ofice. By epecial report to the United States 2enate, the Tun of May last, the Postmaster General recommended, in response to @ resolution of that body, i uprovemenie ao the details of theDead Letter Offise, which were favora- bly received by the Committees on the Poet OMce of both bouses of Congress. Among other things, {t was urged not only that letters containing money or othe: valaable enclosures, tut also many others of moment, should be restored to writers when they failed to reach thelr correspondents from sun- dry causes; and a bill—expreasing the views of the com- wittce, making provision accordingly, and authorizing a charge of postage on al! returned letters—for want of Lime failed to become a law. Since the adjournment of Congress letters have been Feetored, so far as the limited force would allow, without re‘rence to those containing enclosures, and the regults have been bigbly satisfactory. Particclar atten- tion has been given to letters returned to the depart- ment for the want of prepayment of posage. Many were addressed to foreigu countries. Instructions have also been given to postmasters re- quiring letters not properly directed, and thore without any direction, to be returned at once to the Deat Letter Office, and of such many are daily eeeetaehyagenst aah returned without delay to the inadveriant writers. An \@portant change bas also been made in the in- Btructions concerning letters from foreign countrier, which have heretofore been retained tn post offices but one month after having been advertised. They are now to be retained three months, the better to ensure delive- ry and to reduce the number of dead letters of this de- scription. A few reports bave been received, showing the retcrn of letters from post offices, not through thia depurtmen’, but by authority of the law of the last seesion, provia- ing for sach returns in cases where the writers give their ames in writing af an endorsement, together with their residences, om the letters, specifying the time during which they shall be held for delivery before the!r return. to the respective writers thereof.
