10 IMPEACHMENT. CONTINUED FROM THIRD PAGE. wusation ta the articles is the speech of 1898, So, Wo, a leiegram to Governor Parsons in January, 1867, is suppescd to de evidence as bearing upon the guilt compieied in the year 1868 80, too, an interview between Mr. Wood, an oMice seeker, and the President in 1866 is supposed to bear In evidence on the question ‘of intent'm ie consummation of a crime alleged to Dave been committed in 1863, And Tapprehend that An the question of time this interview between General nan and the President of the United States on fon matter of @ eg transaction of the Presi- dent's changing the head of the War Department, which was actually completed in February, 1898, is near enouga to that intent and to show the pur- poses of tke transaction, There remains, then, but one consiteration as to whether this evidence is open to the imputation; that it isa mere proof of declaration on the part of the President concerning his intentions apd object in regard to the subse- quent act of the removal of Mr. Stanton, It certain! is not itinited to that force or etfect, Whenever evi- cence of that c’aaracter is offered that question will urise, to be disposed of on the very point as to what the President's object was. We propose to show his consultation with the Lieutenant General of the armies of U.ie United States to induce him to take the place. ‘On the other question ag to whether his efforts We've 10 create violence, civil War or blood- shed, or @ven a breach of the peace in the removal of the Stscretary of War, we propose to show that in that ¢ consultation it was the desire of the Presi- dent, fttiut the Liewtenant General should take the Place inorder that by that change the judiciary ut -be got to decide between the Executive Congress #8 to the constitutional powers the former. Hf the conduct of the Presi- dent 49 reference to the matters which are Made the subject of incuipation, and if the efforts and means witich he used im the sélection of agents are not to zebut the intentions of presumption it Lo be raised, well was. my. learned associate juesiied in saying that this -is. a. vital: question— Vital in the dnterest of justice at least, if not vital to any important consideration of the vase, Tt 1s vital on the merest principles of eommon justice. that ef Magistrate of the nation is brought under tnexipation, and when motives are assigned for hisaetion and presumptions raised and innuendos urged, sve should be permitted, in the presence of thie great council sitting this day and doing justice to hifegs an individual, but eid otieg ed doing justice in reference to the oftice of the President of the United States, and doing justice to the great pub- dic questions proposed to be affected by your judg- ment, to have thts question properly decided. ‘I ap- prehend that this learned court of lawyers and lay- men Will not permit this fast and loose game of limited crime for purposes of proof afd of unlimited rime for purposes of accusation. The Seuate here, at 2:40, took a recess of fifteen minutes, Auler cess Mr. Witson, of the Managers, took the for. He said :—1 will claim the attention of the Senate ier afew moments, My present purpose is to 7 Tore the minds of Senators the truth in the lardy Gase as it fell from the lips of the Lord Chief Justice who passed upon the question which had been wopounded and objected to by the Attorney g Mr. Wilson read from the State trials the decision of the Lore Chief Justice to the effect that the declarations applying even to the particular case charged, though the intent should make part of the chugs, are evidence against the accused, but are not evidence for hun, because the princi- lps upon which declarations are — evidel that) no) man would declare anything aga ust himseif uniess it were true; but every man Would, were he in diticulty, make declarations for himself. He also read the’ subsequent proceedings affected by that decision, and continued:—Now, what as been Deppoenae by the erman? [tis this:—In that interview what conversation took place between the President and you im regard to the removal of Mr. Stanton. Now, I contend that calls for just suck deciarations on the part of the President as fall within-the limitation of the first branch of the rule laid down by the Lord Chief Justice in the Hardy case, and, therefore, must be excluded, If this conversation is to be adinitted, where are we to stop? Who may not be ut on the staud and asked for conversations had iween him and the President, as my associate Bugygests at anytime since the President entered upon possession of the Presidential office, showing ‘the general intent and drift of ius mind and con- duct during the whoie period of his otticial career? And why, if this be competent and may be intro- duced, may it not be followed by an attempt here to introduce conversations between the President and his Cabinet, and General Grant, by way of inducing this Senate, under pretence of trying the Pretident, to uy a tion betweep the General of the Army and the President of the United States? ‘That interv occurred about the same time, and I Suppose the mext offer will be the conversations occurring between the President, Lis several secre- taries aud the General of the Army, in order that the weight, the preponderance of testimony sub- mitted here on this trial may weigh down the Gene- ral of the Army. 1 say that that may occur, because - habe @ conversation which transpired about that me. Mr. BUTLER—Only the day before. Mr. WILSoN—Yes, Only the day before, We cer- tainly inust insist upon this well known rule being applied to tis particular objection, for the purpose of ending forever, so far as this case is concerned, the introduction of the declarations of the President, made, & may be, for the purpose of meeting an impeaciument. It is offered to be proved, as the counsel informs us, that the Presi- dent tld General Sherman that he desired him to take possession of the 4Var Department in order that Mr, Stanton might be driven to the courts of law for the purpose of testing his title to that of- fice, and inasmuch as the counsel have referred to the closing argument of my associate Managers, and seemed to delight in reading therefrom, let me read a brief paragraph or two from that opening apply- ing to tais pretended ted of the President of driving the Secretary of War to the courts to test his tide. Ow that obcasion the Manager said the Presi- dent knew, or ougit to have known, his oMicial ad- viser, Who now appears as his counsel, could and did tell him, doubtless, that he alone, as Attorney Gen- eral, could file an tnformation in the nature of a quo warraia, 4 determine the question of the validity of the aw. Mr. Stanton, if ejected from the omice, Was without remedy, because a series of decisions has settled the law to be that an ejected oiticer cannot reinstate himself either by quo warranto, mandamus or other appropriate remedy in the courts, Then the purpose was not the harm- Jess one of getting the Licutenant Geferal of the army in the position of Secretary of War, to the additional end of having a judicial decision of this but the purpose was to get possession, as charged, of that department for his own and putting the secretary of War in a position where he could not secure a judgment of tue courts upon his title to that ofice. Now, I beg counsel to remember, not that we charge that the Pres.dent expected that he could make @ tool of purposes, General Sherman, but that he might oust Mr. Stanton from that office by getting General Sherman to accept it, thereby putting Mr. Stanton in a position where he coula not have returned to the of! expecting and believing that the Lieuten- ant General of the army would not long desire to occupy the position and would retire, and that then tue Adjutaat General of the army, or some other per- son equally pliant, could be put into the place va- cated by the Lieutenant General. Now, the Presi- dent did not succeed in this, and, as it has been said, he ppotnted on down until he came to Adjutant neral Thomas. Th he found the person who was willing to undertake this work, who was willing to nee force, as he decia to get session of that ofve; and rt with that Proof, in the proof of the ident’ own declarations anid acts before the to make is tynocence appare dence lis own deciaration at another tine, If a case be defended in this way no officer of the United States can ever be affected on impeachment, and if the same rule is to apply 2 courts of justice no crim- inal cup ever be affected for any offence therei: the omens or the criminal inay make his owt fence, by Nis own declarations, and he will always have one to meet his case. 1 do not desire to y the attention of the Senate.

The Cuigr Justice put the question on the admis- sion of the question, and I was excluded. Question by Mr. StanserY—I will ask you this question:—Did the President make any application to yo. respecting your acceptance of the ofice of Secretary of War ad interim? Did he make a pro- Position to you? Did he make an offer to you? Mr, BuTLER—Is that question in writing? Mr, SraNBERY—Yes, sir—(handing the paper to the Manager)—it is to prove an act, not a declaration Mr. BUTLER (after consultation)—I am instructed, Mr. President, to object to this, because directly an application can be made elther in writing or in con- versation, and there would be the written or oral Seclaranion' oe President, and it is immaterial to Mr. EvaRTS—Mr. Chief Justice, the und of the understanding upon whieh the evidence in the form and to the extent in which our question—which was overruled. ught to introduce it was overruled be- cause it put in evidence declarations of the President several statements of what he was to do, or what he had done. We otfer ie resent evidence as execu- tive action of the ident at the time and in the direct power of a proposed investment with office of General Sherman. My. BUTLER—To that we simply say that that is not the way to prove executive action to anythin done by the Executive. We do not object, but appli- cations made in a closet cannot be put in, whether upon declaration or otherwise. Mr. STANBERY—Of course, Mr. Chief Justice and Senators, if we were about to prove the actual ap- eee of General Sherman to be Secretary of ‘ar ad interim we must produce the paper, the order, the executive order. ‘That is not what we are about to show now. The offer was not accepted. ‘What we offer is nota declaration, but an act which ‘was proposed by the President to General Sherman, unconnected, if you piece, with any declaration of “= intention. Let the act speak for itself. ir. BUTLER—Very well, put in the letter. Mr. STANBERY—IS it a question under the statute of frauds that you must have it in writing, that a thing that must be made in aliing is not good in paroie? What we are about now what we have not discussed as yet; itis an act,a thing proposed, an office tendered to @ party, ‘General Sherman, will you take the position of Secretary of War ad interim 2” Is not that an act? Is that a declara- tion merely of intent? Is it not the offer of the ofice? We claim it is, It is not a declaration at all. It is not declaring anything about what his in- tention is, but it ts doing an act. “ Will you take the office? I offer it.” Let that act speak for itself. Mr. BUTLER—Mr. President, I do not claim any right to close the discussion, but just call the atten- tion of the Senate to this:—Suppose he did offer it, what does that prove? Then suppose he did not, what does that prove? If you mean to deal fairly with the Senate, and not get in a conversation under the gulse of putting in an act, what does it prove if he was trying to get General Sherman to take that omice? It was an attempt to get Stanton out. If it was a mere act I would not object. ‘The difficulty is, while it is not withm the statute of frauds, it is an attempt under the guise of an act to get in a con- versation. By direction of the Chief Justice the clerk read the guests which had been reduced to writing, as fol- jows:— “Did the President make any application to you respecting your acceptance of the duties of Secretary of War ad interim 2" The Curler Justice submitted the point to the Senate, and the question was admitted. Mr. STANBERY (to_witness)—Auswer the question, if you dig somes A. The President tendered me the oitice of Secretary of War ad interim on two occa- sions; the first was on the afternoon of January the 26th and the second on Thursday, the 30th of January. Q. Whereabouts? A. In his own usual office, be- tween the library and the clerk's room, in the Execu- tive mansion, anton was then in office? A. Mr. Stan- ‘as then in office, as now. Q. Any one else present then? A, I think not. Mr, Moore may have been called in to show some paper, but I think he was not present when the President tmade me the tender. Both of them were in writing. 1 answered the first one on the 27th of January. Q. Did you receive any communication in writing from the President on that subject? A. I did not, sir. > What was the date of your first letter? A. The 27th of January. [Another question was answered here inaubly to the reporter.) ow, referring to the time when the offer was first made to you by the eae) did anything further take place between you in reference to that matter, the tender by him or the acceptance by you concomitant to that act ? Mr. BUTLER—That we object to, This is now get- ting in the conversations again. Senators, I call your attention to the manner in which this case is conducted. I warned you that if you let in the act that the declaration would come after it. Now they Say they have got the act, and they want to see if by this means they cannot get around the declarations, a EvaRTs—What is the proposition of the ,Man- ager Mr. BUTLER—My proposition is that the evidence is incompetent and based upon evasion in getting in the act which looked to be immaterial. It was quite liberal in Senators to vote to let in the act, but that liberatity is taken advantage of to endeavor to get by the ruling of the Senate and put in the declara- tions which the Senate has raled. Mr, Evanrs—The tender by the Chief Executive of the United States to a General in the position of Gen- eral Sherman of the War Office is an executive act, and as such has been admitted in evidence by the Senate, Like every other act which is admitted in evidence a8 an act, it is com- petent to attend it by whatever was ex- pressed from one to the other in the course of that act and the determination of it, and on that proposi- ton the learned Manager shakes his finger of warn- ing at the Senators of the United States against the malpractices of the counsel for the President. Now, Senators, if there be anything clearer, anythi plainer 10 the law of evidence, without which’ trutl shut out and the form and features of the fact per- mitted to be proved excluded, it is thig rule, that a spoken act is a part containing the qualifying fact and part of the act itself. Mr. BUTLER—To that I answer, Senators, that of an immaterial act—an act wholly tmmateriali—the only qualifications that could be put in would be the answer, perhaps, of General Sherman. That ts not offered. But then the offer is to put in an_incompe- tent conversation as explaining an immaterial ac’ What is Pee eon put forward ? It is Executive offers of office to any man in the country, and they would put in the fact that he made the offer of the office, and, as illustrative of that fact, put In everything he said about it. That is the proposition. I did think there was a little mal- practice about that proposition, but it was a most remarkable one. He does not act himself, and now he says, “Ihave got the act in; you must put the declaration in.”’ What is the proposition? It is not worthy of words. A criminal a in his act, presses itin, Now close, He says, “Lhave got the act in; now I want also what I said about it.” Why, it is an argument itself, By direction of the Chief Justice the Clerk read the which had been reduced to writing, as { the first interview at which the tender of the # of Secretary of War ad interim was made to you by the President, aid anything further pass be- t n you,and the President in reference to the tender or your acceptance of it.” The Culer Jusrice submitted the question to the ich the yeas and nays were demanded Senators Drake and Howard, and the question Was excluded by the following vote: Bayard, Buckalew, Cole, Davis, Fowler, Grimes, Hendricks, ony Pasterson of Tenn, , Van Winkle, Vickers, Rameey, Yates. Question by Mr. STANHERY—In the second Inter. view did he again make an offer to you to be Sec! tary of Wee a interim? A. Very distinctly. Q. At that interview was anytii 5 ‘d on acne iything said in explana Mr. BUTLER—We ask the presiding officer whether es not fall exactly within the rule, The Chief Justice was understood t e amrmativ lerswood to reply in the th Question by Mr. STANRERY—In the conversations did the President state to you that bis objec : wa 7 make a question before the courts, Messrs. BINGHAM and BUTLER objected simulta. neously TANRERY—We have a right to offer it. Mr. BUTLER—We have a right to ebject. Mr. Presi. dent, courts sometimes say that after they have ruled upon a question it ts not. within the propricties of # trial to offer the same thing over and again, It is sometimes done in courts for the purpose of mak- ing bills of exceptions or writs of error on the ruling. Ifthe counsel say that that is the present object we Shall not object, because they ought to preserve their rights inall form, But supposing this to be the court of last resort, if a court at al, there can be no occa. sion, at least no proper occasion, to throw they. selves against the rules, Mr, STANBERY—Mr. Chief Justice, I do not undor- that the ruling was upon the specific question, It was the general question of what was said thet wae ruled out, J Want to make the specific question now to indicate what the point was. Mr, BUTLER—I would cull attention to th st distinct 4 Adwiseion of the egunse) that the question was within APRIL 12, 1868—TRIPLE SHEET. 1 7 Bepoesen ig ‘ _xpected it to be rujéd out, but now wake the offer, a Evan’ “anet waste previous question. pocet.-No, sir, the last one, 4 Evarts said that though there was to be no T° view of the proceedings of this court, yet it was entively competent to bring to the notice of the conrt, which was to pass on questions of final judz- ment, the evidence supposed to be admissible, in order that it might be made a matter of argument, He claimed that counsel had a right to do that, and that the ditference between the specific question no’ asked and the general question which was ove’ ruled was that while a general conversation could not be admitted, the withess might be permitted to testify upon the specific point, The CHEF JusTICE directed that the question be reduced to writing. The question having been re- duced to writing was handed to Mr, Butler. Mr, Borer said:—I object to the question as both outrageously leading in form and as incompetent under the rule. ‘The question was:—‘In either of those conversa- tions did the President say to you that his object in sppolsting you was that he ib then get the ques- tion of Mr. Sta ton’s right to the office before the Supreme Court?” nator How\R demanded the yeas and nays, and they were ordered, Senator DooLirre asked Mr. Butler again to state his objection, Mr. BuTLER said he objected to the question as outrageously Icading, and as being against tie ruling of the Senate. The vote was taken and resulted, yeas 7, nays 44, as follows:— YEAS—Messrs, Anthony, Ba: Fowler, MoCreery, Pat- tarson of Tents Hoss and Vicksee tegen NAYs—Messrs. Buckalew, Cameron, Cattell, Chandler, Cole, Conkling, Conness, Corbett, Cragin, Davis, Dixon, Doo- Uitle, ‘Drake, ‘Edmund Ferry,’ Fessenden, Krelinghiiysen, Grinies, Harlan, Henderson, “Hendricks, Howard, Howe, Johnson, Morgan, Morrill of Me.

Butler, Mr. BUTLER sald:—The question as presented to me, Mr. President and Senators, is, ‘Was anything said at that conversation by the President as to any purpose of getting the question of Mr. Stanton’s right to the office before the courts?” Now, Mr. President and Senators, this is the last question, without the leading part of it, I understand it to be a very well setiled rufe that when counsel delibe- rately produce a questton leading in form and has it passed upon he cannot afterwards withdraw the leading part and put the same question without it. Sometimes tis rule has been relaxed in favor of a very young counsel (laughter) who did not know what the question meant. I have seen very young men 8o offending, but the court let them up. Now, | call the attention of the presiding officer and of the Senate to the fact that I three times over objected to the question as being outrageously lead- ing, and I said it so that there might be no mistake about it. Yet the counsel for the President went on and insisted not only in not withdrawing it, but in having it put to the vote of the Senate by yeas and nays. If I had not called their attention to it'l agree that perhaps the rule might not be en- forced; but I called their attention to it. There are five gentlemen, the oldest men in the profession, to whom this rule was well known. ‘They chose to submit to the Senate a tentative question, and now they propose to try it over again, and Keep the Senate voting on forms of question until its patience is wearied out. Now, I had the honor to state to the Senate a little while ago that the rules of evidence are founded on good sense, and this rule, too, is founded on good sense. It is founded on the proposition that counsci should not put a leading question to a witness to instruct him what they want to prove, and then, after the question is overruled, to put the same question without its leading form. Of course that was not meant here, but I think that the Senate should not allow itself to be placed within his way. If you choose to sit here and have the ca and nays called, I can stay here as long as anybody. . re ‘Stanpeny—Mr. Chief Justice and Senators, this is too grave and serious, and responsible an issue, and too important in its results to allow us to descend to such @ form of con- troversy. The gentleman again says I y an old the bar. an’ lawyer, long at I hope [am not in the habit of making factious op- position before any court, nie or low, and especial); not before this body. But the learned Mat r inti- mated here that I have deliberately put a leading uestion, resorting to low practices of Old Bailey Qourt, for the purpose of getting time. Making fac- ton I scorn any such intimation, He says it is a leading question. Undoubt- edly it is a _ leading question; but was it intended to be leading? Was it intended to draw General Sherman to say something which he would otherwise not have said? The learned Manager says, “Oh, no; it Was not intended, so far as General Sher- man was concerned, but that, so far as counsel was concerned, the purpose was to put it in that form, so that counsel might have another Cage | of putting it in alegal form.” He charges that it was deliberatel, manufactured in a leading form, knowing that it would be rejected for the purpose of pics ten or fifteen minutes’ time. A leading question, sir! iu the honorable Manager read over the record of this case and see hundreds of leading questions put by him until we got tired of objecting to them? I may of course be permitted to disclaim any such inten- tion, This is a matter of great importance. The interests of our client are in our hands, and we are to defend him in the best way we can, The question was modified, at Mr. EVARTS’ sug- ‘tion, 80 as to read as follows:—‘‘Was thing said at either of these interviews by the President as to any purpose of getting the question of Mr. Stan- ton’s right to the ofice before the courts #”” The CulEF JusTICE put it to the vote of the Senate, and the question was overruled without a division. Senator HENDERSON sent up in writing the follow- ing question to be put to the witness :—“ Did the President, in tendering you the appointment of Sec- retary of War ad interim, express the object or pur- pose of so doing?” Mr. BINGHAM—I object to that question as being within the ruling. It is both leading and incompe- v mt. ‘The Crier JusTICE said he would submit the ques- tion to the Senat Senator DooLiTTLE arose and said:—Mr, Chief Justice, I arise for the purpose of moving that the Senate should go into consultation on this question— (cries of “no! no!”)—but there might not be time to-night to go into consultation, and I therefore move that the court adjourn. ‘The motion was rejected without a division, The vote was then taken on admitting Senator Hen- derson’s question, and it was rejected—yeas 26, nays 7, a8 follows:— YEAs—Senators Anthony, Bayard, Buckalew, Davis, Dixon, Doolittle, Fessenden, Fowler, Grimes, Henderson, Hendricks, Jonson, McCreery, Morrill of Me, Morton, Norion, Patter ‘ose, Sherman, Sprague, Sumner, Traum: Vickers, Willey —35. a Camerdny Cattell, Chandler, Cole, Conte ragin, Drake, Kdmui Hochuysen, ity rd, owes Morgane Morrd gt Vey e, Patterson of N. heroy, Ramsey, Stewart, Thayer, Tipton, Willtams, Wilson and Yates 37. — i Senator TRUMBULL, at half-past three, moved that the Court adjourn, ‘The question was taken by yeas and nays, and re- sulted—yeas 25, nays 27—as follows:— YeAs—Senatore Bayard, Buckalew, Cameron, Cattell, Cor- bett, Davis, Dixon, Doolittle, Fessenden, Fowler, Frelinghuy- sen, Grimes, Henderson, Hefdricks, Howe, Jobuson, MeOree- , Morton,’ Norton, Patterson of Tenn, Ramsey, Sprague, rumbull, Van Winkle, Vickers—25, Nave sHenatore Anthony, Chandler, Cole, Conkitng, Cone nea, ©) in, Drake, Ed ds, Perr; ly oward, Morgan, Mortiil of Me.)

WASHINGTON, D. C., April 11, 1868. AMENDED RULES ON BANKRUPTCY. The House met at noon. The Speaker presented a letter from the Justices of the Supreme Court, trans- mitting the amendments of the rules on bankruptcy, which were referred to the Committee on the Re- vision of the United States Laws. TEST OF QUESTIONABLE ACTS OF CONGRESS. Mr. Woopwarp, (dem.) of Pa., introduced a bill to test the constitutionality of questionable acts of Con- gress, which was referred to the Judiciary Commit- tee, The first section provides that whenever any act of Congress shall be vetoed by the President on the ground of the unconstitutionality of any of its prom and shall afterwards be enacted into a law over the veto, it shall be lawful for the President to order the Attorney General to draw up and file on on record in the Supreme Court of the United States a feigned issue, with such pleadings as shall be necessary and proper to raise the constitutional juestions suggested in the veto opm and to test the constitutionality of such parts of the enactment a8 more specially objected to by him on constitu- tional grounds, which issue and pleadings shall be so drawn as to put in issue no other question what- ever. ‘The second section provides for the service on the Speaker of the House of Representatives of a certified copy of the feigned issue and Taser whose duty it shall be to appear of record, by himself or coun- sel, to defend the constitutionality of such enact- ment, and the court shall make necessary orders for advocating the issue to argument, at the earliest practical period of its session in banc, and the court shall tile its written opinion upon every constitutional Sheeran therein raised, and every en- actment of such act that shall be adjud unconsti- tutional shall thenceforth be held and taken to be null and void; but until such judgment shall be pro- pene the act shall be deemed constitutional and valid. ‘The third section makes it legal for the Attorney General, in preparing the issue, to use the names of real parties having an interest, or of fictitious ies, at his discretion, all costs on both sides to be paid out of the Treasury. Mr. CosuRN, (rep.) of Ind., introduced a bill to provide for the payment of back pensions in cases where the persons entitled have been infants, or in- sane, and without guardians, during the time that they were without guardians, which was referred to the Committee on Pensions. DEPARTURE FOR THE SENATE. The House then resolved itself into a Committee of proceeded to the Senate Chamber to attend the Im- the Whole, Mr. Washburne (of Ill.) as chairman, and “peachment trial. No business to be done on its re- turn. TESTIMONIAL TO JOE COBURN. A Packed House—Set-To Between the Benefl- clary and Ned O’Baldwin. “Holy sailor, what a crowd!’ “Did you ever see anything to beat it?” These and similar ejacula- tions were heard on every hand last evening at the New York Stadt theatre, it being the occasion of the testimonial tendered to Joe Coburn, whom all men know has fought some good pugilists and whipped m,’? and is now matched to fight Mike McCoole on the 26th proximo. And well might the throng have said so, for among the many large exhibitions of this character that have been held in this city during the excitement attending the importation of the modern gladiators that have visited the United States has a frequenter of them been subject to such a squeezing process, and the only wonder is that a like trying ordeal could be passed through with unimpaired constitu- tions. The dimensions of the theatre are very ample, but every available space of room was occupied from pit to dome, and hundreds, appalled at the jam and seeing but little possibility of finding a comfortable standing point, retraced their ste) The sporting world was largely represented, and the Charles Augustus of the upper circle of society was sandwiched between the young mischief-maker that occasionally blackens his boots and the ener- getic gentleman that serves his dinner at the fashion- able restaurant. An orchestra of ten pieces added to the pleasantness of the occasion and served to beguile the time that necessarily is occupied in erg? for the introduction of the artists at such an exhibition, Yet of all the pandemonium-like noises that ever jarred one’s tympanum, those last night at the Stadt theatre exceeded them. Amid cries of “ Hoist that rag,” “ Time,” and a whistling chorus of “Chai e Charley,” at fifteen minutes to nine o'clock he curtain was raised, and Uncle Bill Tovee an- nounced Fred Williams in a song of the “ Refugee.” The welcome that Williams received was unfortu- nately turned [into ridicule by some miscreant crying in a voice that drowned his notes and those of the orchestra, “Soak your head! But the vocalist waded through his ph rendition, and was ap- planded as he retired. Harry Wilson, in the costume of an old woman, next hobbied on the stage and told the great congress of humanity, in a rather crackedvoice, that “I am ninety-three to-day.’ “Good night, aunty,” with jeering cries and accompanying hisses from many tongues, with a fair portion of applause, were the thanks Mr. Wilson received for his trouble. Cries of “‘Tovee—old man Tovee” were at this time heard from a thousand brazen lungs, when the “old man” responded, announcing Johnny Macmil- Jan ina jig dance. Johnny's terpsichorean feat was excellently done and well received, and after ten minutes of hard labor the audience bade him good night, amid thunders of applause, which, as one expressively stated, “liked to have unroofed the ranche.” Then there was more singing by one Grandemar, who assured the crowd that he “lost a girl’? by the fascination of a “fellow on the flying peeze :? more dancing by one Phin Reaver, Dublin city; ciub exercise by Edward Russell, the excellence of which exhibith with lis artistic grace, commended this = lete to the warm appreciation of the throng. Here “Uncle Bill” stirred to the exertion of the re- peated cries, ‘Where's your boxers? bring them along,” advanced to the footlights and “hassured the sparrers that the piace to box was on the stage,” which little notice was intended to stir up the rather lazy gladiators that promised to demonstrate their fistic lore. Another dance, or rather an attempt, by a curly-headed youth who broke down from the “poor musie,” as he styled the orchestra, and who, after receiving the defiant yells of disappro- bation from a thousand throats returned upon the stage, and, striking an attitude, jerked out, “If any of you can’ beat gme dancing, let him step up here,’ which inade the jeers more numerous and more an- noying. Tovee again stalked out, and this time giv. ing the names of two old favorites in a set-to, These were Young Glasgow and Mike Coburn. They aid very well, and amid all character of cries, both of encouragement and ridicule, showed unmistakable evidence that their fistic culture had been attended to, terminating in a manner which demonstrated that they cared not for any number of “punches in the knob,” or any other partof their anatomy. This put the audience in good humor, Eddy Collyer, son of the light weight champion, then exhibited his skill in clog dancing, when Johnny Dwyer, of Brook- lyn, and George Rooke, of Providence, next ap. peared. This was a rattling set-to, where much science Was exhibited, and Johnny evidently found his hands full, At the end of the first round the noses of both were bleeding. The excitement was intense. At thecall of time merry work was again immediately in order, and in the progress of the glove encounter some one of the many admitted upon the stage made aremark or did something to Rooke that displeased him, when he politely bowed and retired. What the offence was could not be learned, but those acquainted with George will admit that he would not have acted thus for a trife. After the hubbub created by this incident had subsided the beneficiary and O'Baldwin, in semi-ring costume, appeared, and at once rousing che were given them. Time was called a hibition of skill wae made by Coburn tn pre eiongated Ned from hitting him, but he n advances, dancing nimbiy around the stage to ayoid the ovcasiona) thrests of that “ siedge> hammer left” that 0’Raldwin now and then sent after him, During this set-to numerous cries were made for Heenan, who was present, but he positively re- fused to spar. The feeling of the throng was that some one similar in physique to Coburn should set-to with him, After three rounds, during Which nothing extraordinary was done, they retired and the audi- ence hastily dispersed, Coburn looks extremely well, and because of this there were many of his friends last evening more sanguine than ever that in the coming contest he will prove the better man, NEW JERSEY. Jersey City. POLITICAL.—A democratic ratifieation meeting was held at the Catholic Institute last evening, another at Cooper Hall on Friday evening, where Jack Rogers came to the rescue. The republican candidates for Aldermen have completely outflanked their op- ponents by adopting the platform of the “Protective Association” recently organized for the purpose of resisting the encroachments of ie Camden and Amboy monopoly. In the present state of public opinion, when the recollection of the Harsimus Cove bill humiliates the people, a candidate of any party stands a poor chance for office who does not speak out with the people on this question. A ratification meeting was held by the democrats at Odd Fellows’ Hall, Hoboken, last evening. The excitement here is intense, as the democrats are divided on the candidates for Re- corder, Justice John White is the regular nominee, and Justice Pope, the republican nominee, has been taken up by the disaffected democrats, who failed to carry thelr candidate at the Convention. Newark. STABBING AFFRAY IN MARKET STREET.—Shortly before nine o'clock last evening William Rapp, young man residing in Orleans street, was stabbed by a colored youth named Charles Long, near the corner of Market and Plane streets, It seems the darky was walking along the street with his wife, “when -one of a party of Fenn: men jostled the latter, whereupon her harles jerked out his pocket knife and plunged it into the cheek of the person standing nearest him, who bappenet to, be ‘The, wound, though serious, is not di us. Long was immediately collared by Blazier, a bill poster, whose etforts of a similar character are so repeatedly successful that littie doubt rests that he has mistaken his calling. a Elizabeth. HIGHWAY ROBBERY AND ATTEMPTED MURDER.— On Friday evening about half-past nine o'clock, while a canal boat captain named Allan Factoe, a Frenchman, was returning to his vessel, the Union, of Fulton, N. Y., lying at pier No. 6 Elizabethport, N. J., he was waylaid by a party of three ruffians, when near the dock, and beaten in @ most brutal manner about the head and face in order to obtain a few dollars, not exceeding ten. It seems that Factoe, being a man of powerful bulld, had well nigh succeeded in throwi. of his assailants, when one of them struck @ terrific blow with his boot under the chin, completely smashing his jaw and crushing out his teeth.« ar then, according to his ante mortem statement made before Justice Eagan, yesterday afternoon, after rifling his pockets, picked him up and threw him bodily on board a barge lying astern of his own. The unfortunate man was discovered by his friends between four and five o'clock poset! morning Wing on the keelson of the boat bleeding copiously from his injury. He was speedily removed to the “Union’’ and medical at- tendance procured, which, up to a late hour last evening, had succeeded in prolonging the poor fellew’s life. Chief of Police John Keron, was Pape ose | notified of the matter and proceeded at once to the Port to make, in ccnjunction with the eaice ali roused, the necessary investigation; ut owing to the exhausted state of Factoe, and the ad difficulty of articulating, through the shock- ig condition of his mouth, nothing could be gleaned from him that would warrant any arrests being made yet, although . several, ed are under suspicion. As it was generally: nown about the dock that he had visited New Yor} during the ay it is probable the miscreants heard of it, and anticipated making a heavy haul of cash. Factoe has a wife residing at Troy, from whom he has, however, been separated for the last seven years. Trenton. FrrE on Boarp A Boat.—About half-past nine o’clock on Friday night a boat laden with timber for the Camden and Amboy Company caught fire, and but for the prompt attendance of the city firemen would have been consumed. At five o'clock yester- day morning the fire, which must not have been thoroughly extinguished at first, rekindled; but the efforts of the boatmen were eifectual in subduing the flames. The crew were employed yesterday in removing the uninjured cargo. The boat sustained some slight damage. EUROPEAN MARKETS. LonDON MONEY MARKET.—LONDON, April 11—3 P.
