ZW SOUTH CAROLI NEAN VIEWS 0) AL BE- LATIONS. Mr. Hamwonp introduced the following resolutions, : Zee were ener to the Committee on Ordinances ry ions:— Inasmuch as # fundamental difference of in reference to the character, powers and the gov- ernment of the Tnited bles aad of the Blave = ments, which existed in the convention which the constitution, and, after more than three-quarters of acentury of political contest, resulted in a bloody and exhausting war; and, whereas, when a people draw the ‘sword, appealing to the last and highest nal known, to man, they should abide by its decisions in good faith ; -and, whereas, it is neither wize nor politic in the people of the South to continue any longer a contest in which they have been twice defeated—once by political majori- ties and once by the sword; therefore, we, the people of ‘South Carolina, in convention assembled, accept, a8 the results of the war, the principles embraced in the follow- ing resolutions, and will exsteln them fully and faithfully ‘as a national policy :-— Resolved, That the Union is the first and.paramount consideration of the American people. Rosolved, That sovereignty, a unit, absolute and indi- ‘visible, which in all nations must exist somewhere, re- sides in the American people, and its authorized repre- sentative, within the limits of the organic law—the con- stitution-—is the federal government. Resolved, That it is an incontrovertible fact that slav- sery has ceased to exist through the exercise of the mili- tary power of the federal government, and that any at- tempt by us to revive it would be impolitic, unwise and, 20t only futile, but disastrous. That it is the true policy of the American people to confine the general government strictly within ‘the limits of the constitution, and to acknowledge the inalienable right of each State to regulate its own affairs in its own way. Resolved, That the late war was not one of an op- pressed people against tyranny, but arose from an appre- enston, on the part of the weaker section, of oppreasion and tyranny in the future, and was carried on under an honest conviction, co-existent among statesmen in every part of the country, with the adoption of the constitu- tion itself, that a State had the reserved right to revoke the powers it had delegated to the general government, whenever, in the judgment of such State, there might be danger that those powers would be used to its disadvan- tage. The war, therefore, not having been strictly in the nature of rebellion or insurrection, we mogt respect- fully suggest to his Excelleucy the President, the justice and wisdom of not enforcing the pains and penalties affixed to those crimes by the laws of the United States. Resolved, That we endorse the acts of President Jobn- son’s administration, and will cordially support its wise and patriotic efforts to restore to the whole country the blessings of peace. THR STATE MILITIA. ’ Mr. Swaxt introduced the following resolutions, which be referred to the Committee on Ordinances and Reso- utions :— Resolved, That we earnestly recommend to the citi- zeus of this State the immediate formation in each dis- trict of a force of citizen mititia, to act in concert with peed States troops as a general police for the dis- " in which they are raised, to the ond that order and <civil authority may be restored and enforced. Rosolved, That the forces thus raised shall, as soon as 4a compicted, ree through the proper to ved Cd ee oe etre hs apa ning their district, and be subject to bis or- a Resolved, That his Excellency the Governor be re- quested to prescribe such organization and adopt such measures as in his judgment shall be necessary to cat ‘ont the above, and to urge on the United States authori- ties the acceptance of such organization in lieu of the colored gerrisons now on duty. -PROCLAMATION OF GOVERNOR PERRY ORGANIZING A STATE MILITIA FORCE. Exxcotivs DerartMent, Sourn Carouna, Sept. 18, 1865. “Wheroas, it is represented that in many portions of the ‘Stato thore is great disturbance and apprehension from lawless persons, who are thieving, marauding and com- ‘mitting acts of violence remote from the military garri- sons stationed at the court houses; and whereas, Briga- ‘dier Gencral Ames, commanding the Northwestern portion of the State, has suggested the organization of a vmilitia force in each district of his command, to in concert with his forces in preserving order gh oop m the community; and whereas, it is supposed that the other mifitary commanders will have no objections to the valid and assistance on the part of the citizens in suppress- ing crime and maintaing order; and whereas, also, it appears that President Johnson has sanctione id authorized the Provisional Governor of Mississi to organize a similar force in that Sta‘e, and has forbidden the military authorities there to interfere with such or- ganization; Now, thorefore, I, Benjamin Franklin Perry, Provi- sional Governor of the State of South Carolina, do pro- -laim, order and declare, that there shall be formed and organized in each judicial district one or more militia companies for a home police, to act under and be aux. illary to the military garrison of such district in prevent- cing Crimes and preserving the peace of the district, The compan:es will consist of a captain and three lieuten- «nants and eighty men, scattered over the district so as to ‘bo easily accessible from all points where any disturb- anco may occur. When the companies are formed they will report, through their captains, to the respective brigadier generals commanding in South Carolina, and to the provost marsbals at the the respective court houses, and from them receive their orders, When ar- rests have been made they will turn the offenders over to the civil authorities or bring them before the Provost Court Marshal for trial and punishment, according to the terms of agreement between Generals Meade and Gill- more and myself as to the respective jurisdictions of the civil and military authorities in South Carohna. ‘This police guard will be voluntary in its organization, id should be composed of none but discreet persons of tanding and character in the community, who are will- ing to render their services promptly when the occasion requires. It is thought that the bare organization of such forces throughout the State will ha tary influence in preserving peace and ordcr venting crime. 6 evildoers will know that wer ready at hand to arrest them and bring them to Fintioe. It is to be hoped that all good citizens will ‘cheerfully ronder this service. It should be a post of honor, as it is, to Chg and protect the country. Done at Columbia, the day and year above stated.

The election ordinance was dobated all day, and finally agreed to. All State elections to be left to the people are tobe held on the first Monday in November. The apportionment for representatives raised some discussion, and will be further debated to-morrow, THE EPISCOPALIAN CONVENTION. Address of Bishop Potter—T Re truct: tem, d&e. Yesterday was the second day of the session of the Protestant Episcopalian Convention of the Southern Diocese of New York. The address of the Right Rev- erend Bishop Potter, the Bishop of the diocese, was of course @he great event of the day. The church was crowded at an early hour, both by the members of the delegation, who occupied the body of the church, and with the non-members and strangers, who occupied the gallery. A large number of ladies were present. The convention was preceded by religious services and prayer by the Rev. Dr. Peters, of St. John’s church, Og- densburg, and by the Rev. Dr. Geer. THE CONVENTION commenced shortly after ten o'clock by the Rev. Dr. Haight being called to the chair, in the temporary ab- sence of the Bishop. The minutes of the previous day’s proceedings were then read by the Secretary, and were duly approved by the Convention. The election of the Standing and Mis- sionary committees of the diocese was then proceeded with, after which the great event of the day—Bishop Potter’s address—was commenced at eleven o'clock, and occupied one hour in its delivery. BISHOP POTTER'S ADDRESS was commenced by expressing his thankfulness to God that he was among the convention assembled, and warm- ly welcomed the delegates to the paternal Christian council. He said that every face around him reminded him of some personal act of kindness of which he had beon the recipient, and while performing his duties under the shadow of a recent sorrow. He said:—How changed are the circumstances under which we meet from those of last year, Little as we may. be inclined, on occasions like the present, to enter into discussions connected with civil government, it would be wnworthy of us, as Christians and patriots, to reassemble after the Iapee of a year to re-enter upon the work of an annual synod, which 30 naturally carries our thoughts back to the merciful Providence which has delivered us from the horrors of civil war, shed over all our land the blessings of peace, and restored to um, aa a pation, unity, srength and honor. Only one short year ago great armies were overywhere arrayed aguinst each other in the field; and, though the end might be antici ret it was seen ee Mis davttnese ‘stood cod warts To- Southern i—The Provincial Sys- through the clou day the great is vanished, and we see peace in all our borders. world, too, has beheld a wonderful: spectacle. A ation, flushed with , victory, girt great ut with fleets and armies, but putting far away all thoughts of conquest, all remembrance of wrongs, dis- solving her armaments, and sending back to tho workshop and the plough, to the busy walks of trades and commerce, to tiie college, to the forum, to the ten thousand peaceful pursuits of life, the heroic men who but yester- day were facing death in their country’s cause and prov- ing themselves invincible im war. Here is a yore greater than any of the aeeiovements of war. Among all those hundreds of thousands of hardy and impetuous men who have become familiar with blood and carnage— who seemed almost as if they had forgetten all but the arts of war, and cared for none otber—among thet all we discover scarcely a sign of ince to the great and peaceful change. We see little evidence of what was so much feared by many—that they had unlearned the arts of peace, and become disqualified for as well as averse to the duties of domestic |'fe, the dull realities of old fashioned Jabor and care, Already weare indebted to many of them for assistance in the ingathering of our harvest; already we see them dispersed over our fields, busy in the crowded places of industry and entering into every kind of civil employment. AndI have known more than one household rejoicing in the recovered presence of a husband, father or brother who seemed to have been softened and elevated by great trials, and more tender and more dutiful than ever before. Many places have, indeed, been made vacant by death. Great liverances bave not been purchased but with t crifices. Many a shattered form, many a badge of mourn- ing, bear witness to the desperate severity of the struc- gle. God, most merciful, send the consolation of His xrace into every bereaved and sorrowing heart! Ged make the nation mindful of its deliveries, and put ft into all our hearts to do, according to the dictates of Christian charity, and according to our abundant resources, what- ever may be needed for the alleviation of sorrow and suf- fering, whether it be North, or whether it be South. ‘Among the many happy cohtequonces of the restoration ‘of peace will be; it is presumed, the speedy reappearance in our general ecclesiastical council of the beloved brethren— bishops, clergy and laity—-who for four years have been separated from us by hindrances incident to war. It will be eunion that will arouse the tenderest sensibilities of overy Christian heart, It will show that old affections have only been restrained, not extinguished; aad that feelings long pent up claim a more than ordinary indul ae in demonstrations of love, respect and sympathy. verily believe, as I do most fervently hope and pray that not one word of reproach or bitterness wil! be heard, not one look of coldness appear, to mar the dig- nity and loveliness of that touching scene. In that much longed for welcome hour we shall need no declaration of principles, no formal vindication of the peaceful charac- ter of the Christian ministry. Divine providence has spoken. Any words that we can use in reference to the past, whether persons or things, will be a mere imper. tinence, adding nothing to the lessons that come to us from above, and only tending to change celestial harmony into the miserable discordant sounds of earth-born passion. The important acts of the Southern dioceses, done while they were in a state of separation from us, and which therefore requires the sanction of the General Convention will unquestionably be recoguized and confirmed at once. ‘They are only three in number. The election of Bishop Wilmer by the diocese of Alabama, the erection of Ar- kansas into a regular organized diocese and the election of the Missionary Bishop of the Southwest (Dr, Lay) to the Episcopate of Arkansas. These acts were emi- nently proper under the circumstances, The distin- guished brethren selected by the two dioceses named are universally esteemed throughout the whole Chureh, and there will not be a dissenting voice to the action which will promptly place them upon an equal footing With all their brethren. He said, me avail myself this occasion to recommend to the favor of the diocese all judicious and properly authenticated efforts which may be made to extend aid to the churches within the Southern dioceses, Church edifices have been injured and destroyed, church property lost. The ability of the people to restore what has been decayed and to sustain the ministration of the church has been widely and grievously impaired, and to impart to them of our abun. dance. He said the Biabop of Georgia, in his address to the convention, spoke to his clergy and_ people strongly against going abroad for exterior aid. He exhorts them to rely on their own exertions, and to make themselves content with the means and appliances left §within their reach, He said he had received a private letter from the Bishop of Virginia in reference to a suggestion he (the Bishop) had made, that assistance might be afforded if desired, and he answered that the people were inclined to be kind, and the clergy to be content with such things as they had. He said we could not but respect the feelings thal prompt them, and we can very well understand why the people should be ready to welcome such instructions from their chief pastor, But the question is—if such delicacy and reserve are, under the circumstances, not nnatural inthem, what is the course of conduct proper and becoming inus?’ Be delicate, be considerate in your action ; but, juet in proportion as they shrink from «penk- ing, do you be forward to minister. Wait not to by treated for aid, but find out what-good can be done, with all tenderness and respect, beg to ailowed to do it. There are no nobler men in the House of Bishops, and whatever im their feeling of delicacy or of allowable pride, it may be effectually restored with the aid of friendly hoarte and bands. He exhorted them to Be prompt in availing themselves of opprtunities to do good; to search out channels through which, not in a proud, patronizing spirit, but with a modest, joving, Christian sympathy, they may pour out the offerings which will b not only to rebuild the waste places or material things, but also to repair and renew Whateoever may have been decayed in the hearts of their brethren. He referred to the management of the House of Morcy and St. Barnabas House, on Mulberry street; of 8 Luke's Hospital and Orphans ‘Home, and the Home for the Aged and Destitute Women, and the bless. ings which they confer upon the poor. He referred to the stability of the Church, which some ignorant per sons thought might he swept away before a popular . He said her stability and unchangeablenoss were ing, a€ geen in her principles and in her history. The English Church bad been assailed by an army of Keeptical sophists, and she is stronger to-day than when the frst untilial hand was raved against her, He said Do not agitate for the mere propayation of your princi ples; do not form associations to effect any local or par. tial object; do not seek to epread an influence over young men which will convert them into mere partisana, and cause them to hold even the truth, if they do hold it, in 4 narrow and controversial spirit, Work apd speak in ing. He alluded ato some quarters am not to Uy it ae a tive landmarks of the and the Church. aid i i : it Hj & t # fore, Resolved, That in tho event of the divimon of any diocese, it is requested that the present General Conven- a) take measures to prevent the looal divisions of the 8.

Gene Convention to make such pro- be necessary for the said organization of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America, The report of the Standing Committee having been read and approved, thé Convention took a recess of four hours until seven o’clock, at which time they reassem- bled. The main business done was the reading of the Teport of the committee appointed to draw up resolu- tions expressive of the feelings of the Convention rel tive to the death of the several bishops who have di during the last year, namely—the Bishops of Connecti- cut, Western New York and Pennsylvania. The various reports of the Convention were proceeded with until the adjournment, shortly after ten o'clock. Convention of Evangelical Christians. CLeveLane, Sept. 28, 1865, The Convention of Evangelical Christians met here yesterday, and permanently organized by choosing Chief Justice Chase, of Washington, for President, with a num- ber of vice presidents and secretaries. Addresses during the day were delivered by Drs. Kirk, Buddington, Clark and others, discussing the objects of the convention. Three hundred delegates are enrolled, representing nine- teen different denominations. It is @ very interesting gathering of earnest Christian clergymen and laymen. Colorado Politics. : Sr. Lours, Sept. 28, 1865. The complete retorns from Colorado indicate the adoption of the State Constitution by a very large major- ity. The clause authorizing negro suffrage was defeated, Arrest of Nellie Otis Boston. Boston, Sept. 28, 1865. A dashing young woman, named Nellio Otis, alias Curtis, has been arrested here for the larceny of $6,400 in money and government bonds, from a man in New York om Friday night last. The woman arrived in Bos- ton on Saturday, and created considerable excitement among the sporting fraternity, exhibiting $3,000 ata time, visiting the races and paying for thirty-two bottles of wine and other liquors. She placed $3,200 in the hands of a young man to keep for her, and upon refus- ing to return $2,700 of it, she made a complaint at the Police Office. The mam was found, and $2,600 returned, as was supposed, to the rightful owner. The man from whom the money was stolen in New York then made his appearance, and recovered less than half of the $6,400, but refuses to prosecute t Movements of General Slocum. Syracuse, N.

Profersor John Nichol, of the chair of English litera- ture in Glasgow University, is now on a tour through this country. He is son of the late Professor Nichol, the eminent astronomer. He has already commenced an historical review of American literature, and will no doubt produce a standard work on the subject. Professor Nichol is very friendiy to America. During the late struggle he stood forth faithfully in the cause of the Union. He was chosen President of the Glascow ‘Union and Emancipation Society,” and in that capacity he con- tributed greatly to keep in check the enemies of union and freedom. A compl ee dinner was given on Tuesday even- ing at the Parker House, Boston, by Mr. Dena, a dis- tinguished merchant of ‘that city, to Hon. Mr. Kinnaird, M. P., of Loudom. Among those present was Hon: Samnel Hooper, Prof. Longfellow, Senator Sumner, Franklin Haven, Peter Butler and others. Edward N.

Herald gives the following respecting a venerable public functionary:—On Friday, the 22d inst., Mr, Jacob Stickney, nincty-one years old, ‘was performing his duty on State street as a measurer of charcoal, It was atan hour so early that many people were not out of their beds, This is his sixty-seventh con- secutive year in town office; and since he was twenty one years old he has been elected to various offices and taken the official oath two hundred and twenty-three tunes. The Health of Beaufort, N.C. TO THE EDITOR OF THE HRBRALD, Fort Macox, N. C., Sept, 15, 1866. I desire to contradict a report appearing in your issue of the 6th inst., from a correspondent at Beaufort, N. C,, stating that “yellow fever” had made its appearance in this harbor. Not a single case of yellow fever has oceurred to my knowledge in this vicinity up to the pre- sent time, The re may have been founded on the fact that @ brig from Savannah, Ga., came into this har, bor with three cases of intermittent fever on board- ‘With the exception of a few cases of smallpox, the sea- son, thus far, has been unasually healthy. Very re- spectfully, your obedient servant, S$. McCOLLAM, Assistant Surgeon, U. 8. A, of Beaufort, N.C. long time past many busi- ness men of this city have entered complaints at the Boston Post Office that money, checks, stamps, & that they had sent through the office had never ben re’ ceived by the persons to whom they were mailed, althongh the lettere accompapying the articles had come tohand. Mr. Johnaon, the Post Office detective in Bos. ton, went to work upon the matter, and has at last suc} coeded in unravelling the mystery. At different times he saw boye at the delivery windows with unsealed let- ters, and ascertained from the clerks that for a consilfera ble period boys and young men had been in the habit of coming there with letters and asking for mucilage to seal them up. Not suspecting anything wrong, the re- quest was readily complied with, The detective, feeling satisfied that be was on the right track Mt last, told the clerks to obtain ppssession of the letters brought there by hoys to be sealed and satisfy themeclves that no. unlawful proceedings were being carried on. Yesterday a boy visited the win. dow with an envelope that had been torn open, and when he laid it down-on the window sill the clerk seized and opened it, and found that it was a letter from a well known firm in thie city and had contained a check for two thousand dollars, ‘The boy worked for Ure firm, and had been gent to the office with the letter, No ar rests have yet made, although information was im. me ely given to the firm, It is supposed that by the above scheme numerous boys have reaped quite a har vest by the robbery of letters entrusted to their care, and for which the Post OMice clerks have been sus: pected. Merchants and others should be vory the boys they employ, and pay more attentlo ey.

THE TURF. Pashion Course, L. I.—Trotting. ‘The second of tho one thousand dollar given by the proprietor of the Fashion trotted for yesterday afternoon by black gelding of going with all these horses. Two others, Dexter and Blonde, were entered for the race; but the former being barred from starting by being in the same stable with Lady Emma, and Blonde tame, they did not put in an appearance, Fora week past and up to the moment of coming on the track Lady Emma was the favorite against the field, her defeat of George Wilkes last spring in capi- tal time leading her sanguine backers to believe that the others would be mere playthings for her; but when she paraded on the course in scoring we could not see that looseness and elasticity that she uniformly exhibited in all hor previous contests; which being observed by the unprejudiced the other horses rose in their estimation, and the fleld became the favorite before the start. Gen- eral Butler was the second choice in the pool selling, and bis fine appearance warranted those who bought him to feel sure that he would give thom a good show for their money. He never appeared on the track to better advantage, being in the finest possible condition. George Wilkes looked robust and healthy, appeared as limber as we ever saw him, and seemed to be possessed of speed enough to beat the others with ease; yet the people had no confidence 1n his staying qualities, and did not feel inclined to lay heavily on him. Thoge who avoided him showed judgment; for @ more unreliable brate never looked through a bridle, He has speed enough to beat any horse in the country ; but when winning, and apparently with ease, he shortens his stride, and “comes back” in the most eoreeine man- ner, without any apparent cause. McLaughlin drove him the first three heats yesterday, but Dan Mace took his place after that and finished the race—for what reason we did not ascertain, Genoral Butler won the race after five of the finest heats that were ever witnossed on the trotting turf. The stallion won the first two heats, and was leading up the homestretch on the third, as every one supponed @ win- ner, when the brute stopped until Butler came up and passed him and won the heat. Lady Emma did not finish as well as her backers antici- |. The track was in magnificent order for fast time, and although the horses went quicker than avorage first rate time they did not come up to the expectations of the multitude, many of whom were bet- ting that 2:26 would be beaten, whHe others laid wagors that every heat would be performed in less than 2:30. All such bets were, of course, lost. The time made was 2:3034—2:30—2 :28 3g —2:273¢—2:33. This splendid trot ‘was witnessed by a very large crowd, who behaved in the most orderly manner. First Heat. Lady Emma won the pole, George Wilkes the middle and General Butler the outside position. After a few scorings they pe the word pretty well together, and started at a high rate of speed. Lady Emma soon showed her nose in front of the stallion, Butler evidently making little effort to keep up with the others. Lady Emma continued half a length in front around the tarn, but as she approached the quarter pole the stallion was cheek by jowi with her, Butler about four lengths behind. Time, thirty-seven seconds. Goin; down the backstretch the stallion and Emma were ne and head until about the centre of the old stand, when the mare drew alittle in front, and was half a lewgth ahead at the end of the ‘stand; but as they passed the halfynile pole they were yoked together again, fn 1:12}, Butler three lengths behind. The race thus far was most interesting. Going into the Flushing stretch Lady Emma broke up, and Wilkes got away from her a couple of lengths, which he maintained up past the three-quarter pole and on to the homestretch, the stallion trotting as easily aa possible, and seemingly going at an exereising gait. He came up the homestretch two lengths ahead of the mare, who was two lengths ahead of General Butler. Time, 2:303¢. Secmd Heat.—In the pool sales which came off be- tween the heats Lady Emma brought $200, George Wilkes $150 and General Butler $130. The horses again had a fine send-off, Butler leading, Emma second, Wilkes third, and on a break. Butler al broke up before he reached the turn, and Emma took the | going to the quarter pole two lengths ahead of the stallion, who was two in front of Butler, in thirty-eight seconds. Going down the stretch the stallion opened himself, and, after a most beantiful burst of speed, went up and col- Jared the mare at the half-mile pole. Time, 1:14. But- ler lay about four lengths behind, and it was pal le that Taiman, bis driver, was not urging him at all, but waiting to see the others in their for the mas- tery. ly Emma was a neck ahead the stallion as ‘went on to the Flushing stretch, but in a moment left her feet and Wilkes left her, and opened a gap of three lengths to the three-quarter pole, which he made into four up the homestretch and five at the score. Tim 2:30. Butler was a length behind Emma. Third Heat.—The stallion was then a great favorite, selling for $320, while Lady Emma brought $85 an: Generat Butler $82. Tne horses bad @ beautiful start; but before they got on the turn Butler was on the lead, with the stallion close up, two lengths ahead of Lady Emma. Butler drew away from the stallion, and the quarter pole a length abead, in thirty-six seconds, the mare two lengths behind. Going down the baekstretch Wilkes broke up and Emma him, Butler leading at the old stand three lengths. The stallion, however, soon after recovered, passed the mare, and elosed the mp. rapidly on Butler. The latter passed the half-mile pole one length ahead, in 1:18, As they got into the Flushing stretch McLaughlin was laying on the whip pretty smartly, and the stallion incr his speed and soon was parallel with the black, when the latter broke up, and the stallion left him with a space of two good lengths between them. Wilkes was all that distance ahead when he passed the three-quarter pole; but Butler came after him with a rush, and, although he was gain- ing om him rapidly, the stallion had plenty of margin to win on had he possessed the pluck to keep himself to- her. But without giving the slightest warning he proke all oi a heap, and kept up until Butler was far enough ahead to win, which he did by two lengths, in 2:28 Lady Emma’ was three lengths behind ‘the stallion. Fourth Heat.—Dan Mace then took the place of Mc- Laughlin behind the stallion. Genesal Butler was the favorite against the field. With a good send-off Wilkes took the lead, Butler second, Emma «lose up; bat before they got around the turn Butler was a length in front of the stallien, who was two lengths in advance of the mare. At the quarter pole the biack led half a length, in thirty-six and a hali seconds, the stallion sec- ond, Emma three lengths behind. The stallion then went up to the head of Butler, and a more beautiful and exciting contest was never seen than the one which en- sued between these horses for over halt a mile. They were yoked all the way down the backstretch; but atthe half-mile pole Butler had his bead in front, in 1:12. Go- ing up the Flushing stretch they became yoked again, and wont step for step and head and head up to the three-quarter po! in thia way swung on the home stretch, and the neck and peck struggle lasted until they were half-way up the stretch, when the stallion began to quit, and then broke up, and Butler led home two lengths, ind 27%. Lady Emma was half adozen lengths be: bu Fifth Heat.—Butler thyn sold for $100, while the stal- Hon brought $31, and Lady Emma $7. ‘Butler got away with the lead, but it was soon taken from him by the stallion, the mare close up, Wilkes led two lengths to the quarter pole, in thirty-eight seconds, Butler second, half a length abead of the mare. Going down the bac! stretch the staliion kept the gap open, and passed t half-mile pole # couple of lengths in front, in 1:15, Butler second, two lengths ahead of Emma. The stallion seemed to be going easy along the Flushing stretch, and maintained his advantage on to the homestretch, and as he approached the stand he seemed all over & winner. Just then Butler was noticed coming with his great finishing rush, and he gained quickly on the stallion, until his head was on the latter's fore wheel, when But- ler broke, but catching in a moment he dashed over the score a winner by two lengths, in 2:38. Lady Emma was three lengths behind, The following is a summary :— ‘Tucxsvay, September 24.—Purse $1,000, mile heats, bost taree in five, to wagons D. Ta'man entered bik. g.

He succeeded in tracing it to Tivoli, and from thence te’Ssugerties, where he found the object of his search, and in the same house the reputed husband of the deceased. Both were Drought to this city, arriving late yesterday, and Coroner Wildey at once empanelled a jury. The following is the testimony :— James J. Hicks, residing at Middletown, N. Y., testi- fled:—Deceased was my wife; I have been acquainted: with her about eighteen months; two months after mak- ing her acquaintance I visited her with the intention of making her my wife; last fall I made an engagement of marriage with her, and some time thereafter we became very intimate; after two montha I found that she was enceinte; sho made no ition to have the child re- that she intended it; we ex- pect-d to be married in about one month, and had made all the nece: preparations; two weeks from last Wed- nesday sho left our hoarding place with the intention of go- ing to Saugertios by the way of New York; she spoke of getting rid of the child if she could do so without barmin, herself; on the Wednesday following the day she ett f received a pote from Dr. Grindle saying that deceased was quite sick, and he wanted me to come down imme- diately; it did not intimate what ailed her; I telegraphed at once that I would be down if it was positively neces- sary, but that it was almost impossible for me to leave at the time; the next day I received a telegram that sho ‘was better, and I need not come; the following Saturday Tcame to’ the city and saw deceased at Dr. Grindle's house; she told me that she had a miscarriage, and it had been brought on by riding in a Broadway stage; that it had not been brought on by instruments or medi- cines; I thought that was not so, but she persisted in her statement; I left for home on'Sunday; om Tuesday last [ roceived' a telogram{marked “G.,"” requesting me to come down immediately; on arriving at Dr. Grindle's house Mrs. G. told me that deceased had been removed to No. 160 Laurens street; I went there, and found de- ceased in bed; she seemed very low, but rallied upon seeing me; she repeated ‘her former statement about the miscarriage; during the conversation she said “Oh, my poor mother, if 1 had only been married I woutd not mind dying;”” I immediately ‘sent for a minis- ter, and we were married in the presence of two wit- nesses; I made arrangements with an undertaker to have the body taken to Woodstock to be buried; I did not think it necossary to have a coroner call Fannie Gray, of No. 149 Thompson street, testified :— On Tuesday night last Mrs, Rolf, came and wanted me to 0 to her house, as there was woman there very sick ; went with her and saw deceased; a physician came and said she was suffering from inflammation of the bowels; I saw deceased married to Mr. Hicks; when deceased was dying she requested me to stand by her busband in his trouble; I went with the body to Saugerties. Wooster Beach, M. D., testified:—I have made a post. mortem examination of the body of deceased and found it in an advanced state of decomposition ; on opening the body evidences of peritonitis wére plainly visible, more particularly confined to the lower part of the abdomen ; the uterus was scarcely redder than usual; its internal surface showed marks of a placental attachment, where thero was considerable redness; the rest of that surface was pale; around the mouth of the uterus wasa great deal of congestion and redness; there were no evidences of violence to the part; the uterus had contained a fostus of about three months’ growth, and had been recently de- livered of its contents; the ‘peritonitis, in my opinion, was in consequence of the irritation of the uterus, and was, in my opinion, the cause of death. The two female servants of Dr. Grindle were examined, but their evidence contained nothing of importance. The case was then submitted to the jury, who fendered 8 verdict ‘that the deceased came to her death by pa tonitia, tne result of a miscarriage, but whether from any 81 operation, of from medicines or other causes there is no positive evidence to show. Inasmuch as the deceased is admitted to have been led to the house of Dr. Grindle by an advertisement in the newspapers, we denounce the publication of such advertisements as lead. ing to an inerease of crime, We censure Dr. Edward Fields for not mating the indirect cause of death in giving acertificate for burial to the undertaker, according to the requirements of the law.” ~ Deceased was a native of this State, aged twenty years. For the past two years she has been employed ina car- pet manufactory in Middletown, where also Hicks was superintendent of the Ogden House. She was possessed of great personal beauty. All of the parties concerned in the affair wore dixcharged by Coroner Wildey, he at the samo time remarking that both the jury and himself believed him guilty of the charge, but @nfortunately there was no means to prove it.
