ABRIVALS AT THE Caritat, From the large number of arrivals at the hotels last night and to-day, the major part of which are from the South, there is good reason to apprehend that the ap- Plicationa for pardon, adjustment of claims and petitions for restoration of property, with all the other multi- ferious duties pertaining at this time exclusively to the Executive chamber, will commence to-morrow with ro. newed importunity and backed by added numbers. The Fegisters of the hotels indicate that @ large proportion of these newly arrived sojourners are from Virginia, Tennessee being next in number and North Carolina and Louisiana about equal.

THE SLAUGHTER, ‘Twe Men Killed on the Westchester and Media Rafiro: by a Bridge Tumbling to Pieces—A Wagon Struck by a Loco- motive—Singular Death of a Young Lady—A Correction, &c. TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD. Carcaco, Sept. 2, 1865. In your paper of August 31, in account of accidents on railroads, you state that on February 16, an accident oc- curred on this road where ten persons were killed and ten injured. No such accident has occurred on this road at anytime. Please correct. ROBERT HALE, General Superintendent Chicago, Alton and St. Lous Railroad. (By referring to the files of the Heaaup, we learn that the accident referred to occurred on the railroad between St. Louis and Chicago, and was caused by a broken rail. An accident of that character undoubtedly took place on that day between the cities mentioned, although the name of the railroad may have been wrongly given. —Ev. Breau} ACCIDENT ON THE WESTCHESTER AND MEDIA (PA.) RAILROAD. {From tho Philadolphia Tolegraph, Sept. 2.) A fow since we directed the attention of the 4 Westchester Raiload Company, and of the public generally, to the insecure condition of the bridge near Wallingford station. Yesterday afternoon a frightful accident occurred ut this point, which resulted in the death of two individuals, whose names we have not ascertained. Shortly before four o'clock, and just as the passenger train from the city had pasied over the bridge, two of the beams of tho structuro fell, with the fatal consequences referred to. The beams were old and uns :rviceable, and were probably jolted out of position by the jarring of the cars. At the time of the accident workmen were employed in removing some of them and Pang them with new timbers.” There can be no doubt that if the work of repair bad been supervised with care the accident might have been avoided. As it was, the passengors are to be congratulated that more lives were not lost. ANOTHER FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT—A YOUNG LADY KILLED. At fifteen minutes to five o'clock this morning, a mar ket wagon, containing Mr. Dutton and his daughter, aged thirteon years, who reside four miles below Darby, metéwith a frightful a cident. eid were on their way to the city with marketing. ving at Gray’s Forry road, above Washington street, where tho Pennsylvania Railroad crosses it, a train of cars came along, which Mr. Dutton did aot perceive in time to avoid a collis: ‘The wagon was struck and completely wrecked. Mi Dutton and the horses eecaped uninju His daughter was instantly kill d. The moat singular part of the affair ia that the body of the daughter, on examination, re- vealed nota single bruise or scratch, and it is supposed sho must have died from fright. The Coroner was uoti- Ged, and will investigate the mattor. THE COLCHESTER CASE AGAIN. Our Buffalo Correspondence. Bovrao, Sept. 1, 1865. Motion for Arrest of Judgment—Arguments of Cown.e! For and Against—Ie Spiritualiom a Religion? —Judg- ment Deferred, de. ‘The case of Charles J. Colchester, lately convicted in the United States District Court, now in session in this city, on the charge of practising jugglery without a Tense, was called up last evening, and counsel were heard. Mr. Colchester was in,court with his counsel, Josiah Cook and George B. Hibbard, Esqa., the prosoca- tion being represented by District Attorney Dart, and his assistant, Charles H. Tappin, Esq. Mr. Hibbard, on the part of the defendant, moved that the judgment be arrested, and presented arguments and cited authorities to sustain the following points: — Firat—The indictment alleged that Colchester carried on the business of a juggler, and performed by sleight of hand. The statute provides that every Juggler shall pay & license fee of twenty dollars, and that every person who performs by sleight of band shall be deemed a jug- gler. Mr. Hibbard argued that, to state the offence, the indictment should allege the carrying on of the trade and performance by sleight of band sufficient to consti - tute the exercise of a trade or profession. He urged that the indictment contained no allegations of the means by which the alleged ‘Sugaler, Secor "was accomplished. 4—That tho indictment did not state the partica- cts of jugglery. ‘at, as the oxhibitions were given to a few individuals, at’ separate seanees, thera was no perform ance and no public exhibition" + Fourth—That What part of the revenue law whieh im- poses a license fee is unconstitutional, The constitution permits Congress to lay taxes, and excises, and provides that all direct taxation be laid accord: to the enumeration of the cepsas. Mr. Hibbard orgued that a license feo was not a tax, duty, unpost or excise, and, if either, it was a direct tax, and unconstitutional ‘az not laid according to the enumeration of the cenyus. Fifth—That the licomse law, in ita ae to oe was ul under OTs the conitation diet, C shall mako no law re- an establishment of religion oF the free exercise t 3 Assistant District Attorney Tappin, for the United States, in reply, argued that— F rst—A liconse is not only required for certain trades and occupations, but also for the performanes of certain acts, The defendant in the tmdictment {x all to bea Juggler, also to have performed the acts which by the statute are defined to conesitute juggtery. ‘Second—It is alleged by the defendant that the acts claimed to conmitute ieeuery are tatters pertaining to the exercise of @ aad that thore was no public porformance within the act of . The jury has decided that the performaneo is public, and by sleight of hand, and the Court cannot interfere with their finding. Diatrict Attorney Dart maintained :— Firs!—Thot it ie sufficiont in all statutory offences to charge im the indietment the —— of (he statute cre- ating it, and that this indictment is in that language. ‘Seomd—The question of fact, a» to whether or not this was jugglery, was-a question Of fect submitted to the jay Oo peers. am upon by the jury against the in Third—The defendant was carrying it on as a trade, business or profession, in which ya — he = moved by a supesior power.
