Swan, M. D., being sworn, sald:—I_ re- side atthe Astor House; am the physician in at- tendance there; on the 2d of August I was calied to attend Generat Haipine as @ patient in one of the rooms of the hotel; found him in a state of collapse; Tcould merely infer that his condition was from the inhalation of chloroform from seeing some bottles marked “chloroform” upon the table; I resorted to remedies appropriate for his restoration; ke was un- able to swaliow, but upon my turning’ him over a dark colored fluid ran from bis mouth; the fmd had no odor of chloroform; an enema of brandy W: | given him, and friction with mustard and hot wate he railied a little, but sank and died abcut ten min- utes past twelve, ‘The following 8 Nement wae made and sworn to by Drs, Thomas C.

On examination the body of the deceased was found to be well nourished and free from all signs of decomposition; no rigor mortis; on opening the chest both lungs were found aderent to different | points of the diaphragm. These adhesions were evi- | dences of old pleurisy; at the apex of the left lung lungs being otherwise healthy; the heart waa large, cavities empty; the only evidence of disease within that organ was @ slight thickening of the mitral valve at its free margin; on opening the abdomen a large amount of fat was found covermyg the intes- tines, in some places half an inch tn thickness; the liver was large and slgnty fatty: the gall bladder was filled with bile; it did not contain any calculi; the right Kidney weighed seven and a half ounces, the left two and a haif; the intestines were also healthy; the stomach was congested and contained abont six ounces of dark bilious fuid; on removing the calvarium all the veins and sinuses of the brain were intensely congested; no evidences of dikease were discovered In the brain substance; the weight of the brain was fifty-six ounces.

In consequence of those changes he spent much more money on the office than any of his predecessors, sacrificing for this purpose a very large amount that he might le- gitimately have Tetainad. He, however, conte! plated still farther improvements so soon as the o cupation of rooms in the new City Hall would make these practicable. For myself, allow me to say that I am no candidate for the vacancy. 1 want nothing at the expense of General Halpine’s fainily, and sincerely hope that the proposition to appoint some one who will give tne income to the widow and fatherless will prevail with Governor Fenton. I regard the suggestion that I should receive the emoluments for the unexpired year, however well intentioned, as little less than. an aspersion on my honor. General Halpine fulfilled his duties with the utmost care and devotion, and has left the oftice in better order than it ever was before. He re- ceived only such fees as were approved at a meeting of the most influential members of the bar, called by him when he first entered upon his duties, for the express purpose of determining proper charges, and he strove in every particular to comply with the suggestions which were then made to him concerning the roquireneas of those who had real estate bus! | news, Very respectfully, ei JORN Y.

He was answered that the clerk did not Know and di- rected to proceed to the back office and make further inquiry there. The counter where qnes- tioner and questioned in this dialogue stood, one on each side of it, is just tnaide the street door, running at right angles from the front of the build- tng. The counter is about three feet in height and terminates, about six feet from the wall, i a range of desk @ f008 than the counter, used in of the business of the company.

That the man entered the office of the Insurance company with the intention of stealing and used the name of @ party whom he may have learned some- times called there, or drogped on the name bap- hazard, as an exense for coming in, is almost cer- tain, as the bonds* has just been carried round from Jay Cooke & * office, whence they had doubtless beeh followed, in the lope that a favorable oppor- | tunity wonld offer on the street for stealing them, | which not happening caused the thief in very despe- ration at losing so rich a prize to risk the bolder movernent.

In accordance with this “‘blank 75” has been issued, which will be distributed to retail deaiers, and in which they are required to state the quantity of cigars “held or owned’ by them, by the thousand, and also (by the pound) the tobacco, enumerating the followimg descriptions:—Chewing tobacco, tine cut, plug or twist; twisted by hand, or in condition to be consumed; fine cut shorts; smoking tobac exclusively of stems; smoking tobacco of leaf wit! the stems in; smoking tobacco with portion of stems removed; ail other kinds of chewing or smoking tobacco; snuff flour; snuff prepared for use. After the first of the above resolutions had been read Mr. Campbell, of Newark, N. J., opened the de- bate on the question by opposing the adoption of the resolution, The main point he made was that the new law prohibited the sale of fine cut tobacco in bulk without labels, that his house would have to overhaul their whole stock now prepared for market and repack it, which would be almost impossible, He had applied to the assessor of his district only last week, and that officer told hin that he was yet without instructions and that he (Mr. Campbell) might go on with his business as heretofore until in- structions should reach the assessor. Some conver- sation between Mr. Campbell and Mr. Edmonston, of New York, followed, to which Mr. Payne added his opinion that the law was paramount and that the opinions of assessors were not law. The chairing ir, Lawrence, remarked that if the Views of Mr. Campbell prevailed then the object of the convention was lost and the meeting a falltire, He referred to the whiskey manufacturers, who now are honest, by trying to come up to the requiremente of the present law, and whiskey in bond had already risen some fifteen to twenty per cent in value in bond; while formerly the idea prevailed to # con- siderable extent that to cheat the government in whiskey was neither @ sin nor acrime. If the manu- facturers of tobacco will allow the law now in force to become an uncertainty and show unwillingness to comply with it fairly it Will be said that the tobacco men have stepped into the shoes of the whiskey men, which should be avoided, as always heretofore it had been acknowledged that those who repre- sented the tobacco trade before the committees of both houses of Congress were the representatives of an honest and intelligent body of men, Mr. Flagg, of this city, said that his nouse, as many others, had their tobacco packed ahead for the season tocome. If he could sell out the whole it would be all well and he could then work under the new law; but to unpack and pack anew were near to impossible, being very onerous and coatly; he would 0 on and seli_his tobacco as packed now and use i8 Old labels. Since the passage of the law he had ceased packing, he said, and ve @ number of reasons why hé could or would not do otherwise. ‘The Secretaty, Mr. Payne, then read, in be oy to Mr. Flagg’s remarks, the following extract of the law:— SkOvION 71. And be it further enacted, That rAOn who sball remove from any manufactory, or from any place where tobacco or nuff is made, any manifactured tobacco or ‘without the same being prt up in proper packages, * * * |,on conviction thereot for each such offence, respec. tively, be fined not less than 1,000 nor more than 48,000, and be tm; uot leas than six monthe nor more two years. Mr, Campbell moved to insert in the first resoin- tion August 20 instead of 9. Mr. Flagg, referring to the seventy-first section, read by Mr. Payne, in fred for the date of the law. He was answered that it was dated July 20. Then, he said, it takes you all at the present day. To this he was answered that the law provides that the penalties preseribed should not be enforced till twenty days after its passage and that the twenty days expire with the 9th of Au- gust, The amendment of Mr. Campbell not being seconded the vote, after some further conversation, was taken on the first resointion and it was agreed to, Mr. Campbell alone voting no. e second resolution then came up and it was op- posed by Mr. Gail, of Baltimore, as being superfiu- ous, the measures requested by it having been al- — undertaken, as evidenced by the blank No. 75 g juced), part of which is inserted above. Mr. cAlpin, of this city, also desired the law fully car- pep dig would not bother the officers at Washington with too Many questions or requests, that wanted all the time given them Tor coot deliberation and should not be interfered with; but he would not oppose the resolution. There was some more talk on the subject, and the resolution was finally, with- out a direct we considered to be expressive of the sense of the img. The lon as to the use of stamps in the interval ‘untit the new stamps can be raised by Mr. Seidler, representing the house of P. Loriltard, of this city, and a resolution offered by Mr. Gall look! to the same object were lost. The Chairman, Mr. Lawrence, then suggested as one of the objects of the meeting the fixing of a unt- form scale of ‘tee Quite a debate ensued, and je an extended argument on ‘that point, during which he t to prove that no level Tale of prices could be set for tobacco, as little as for wine; that it depends on quality, and that is in a matter of taste and judgment. Several propositions were offered, one by Mr. McAlpin, that no more than four ea of Feria J tobacco should be mnanufac- tu Mr. Seidier ol aoe to t Lo having eight different explanation followed that not the color, name or fandy style of the article was meant by the word ge , but only tts price. With this explanation Mr. idier assented to the proposition and it was wnanimously that hereafter chew: In; tobacco = shoul manu! ditferent les at the following minimum prices: 22, $1, 90 cents and. 80 cents per pound. ft wab then resolve’ that only three grades of “cut jean be recognized as legitimate (leaf, half leaf and stem and all stem). Another resolution was then passed assuring the Commissioner of the Revenue and all officers connected with its collec- tion that the manufacturers of “fine cut’ tobacco will earnestly co-operate with them in the honest and strict execution of the law; and still another, that the chairman request the Commissioner of Revenue whether to the tobacco manufacturers @ similar diseount could not be allowed on the sale of stamps as is allowed’on the sale of other Internal Revenue stamps, and then the Convention adjourned to August 20 (two weeks from yesterday), to meet again at the Astor House, to which mecting all the manulacturers of “fine cut” tobudee in the United States ave invited to attend, THE NATIONAL GUARD. | An order has Veen ixsued from the Adjutant Gene- | rae office of the State detaching the counties of Dutchess, Orange, Putnam, Rockland and Weatches- ter from the Second Division district of the National | Guard and constituting them @ part of the Fifth division National Guard district, The commandants | of brigades in said counties will hereafter report to Major General T.

PANAMA, July 26, 1868, ‘The revolution is at an end, the country 1s safe and the State at last uréathes freely. The voice of the people has becn made subservient to the power of the sword, and the provisional government, with the Commander-in-Chief of the military at its nead, after trampling on everything in the shape of constitu- tional law and rights and marching an armed force into the heart of the country, has awed the imirabi- ants into.an involuntary but unresisting submixsion to its will, So much for the freedom enjoyed by the Population of this free and sovereign State of Pana- ma. Some time ago I informed your readere that a few politicians of the liberal party, finding themselves outvoted by the conservatives in the late elections, had, with the assistance of the military stationed in Panama, deposed the legitimate President, seized the reins of government and placed General Ponce at its head as Provisional President. The residents of Panama, though highly indignant at this outrage on their iiberties, had neither the moral courage nor the physical force to offer any resistance, and the few who dared to raise their voice against the act were hunted down and imprisoned. Panama thus subju- gated, General Ponce marched with 160 men for the interior, as it was understood that Veraguae and Cin- riqui would fight for their rights. With this emall force he landed near Las Tablas, about seventy-five miles from Panama, but to the people of the tittle villages he passed through his 150 men was a large army, and they were readily pressed into his ranks, 80 that by the time he reached Los Santos his force was doubled. The news of his landing spread like wildfire through the State, spreading consternation everywhere among the innocent: inhabitants, who for years past have suffered so frequently from eimi- lar invasions; and as the reports reached the differ- ent towns in advance of the army that a general was marching to attack them the ppople were only too glad to submit to any sacrifice of principle rather than risk their lives and all they possessed by offering resistance, and readily acknowledged the newly established rule. The conservatives 11 Panama placed great hopes ina powerful resistance being made at Santiago, the capital of Veraguas, and in Chiriqui, and in both these departments a force of three or four hundred men had been organized; but the moment intelligence was received that Ponce was en route to attack them with a body of regulars commusstoners were sent to meet him to treat for peace. ‘Their petition was granted by the magna- nimous chieftain, who proclaimed a genera! amnesty to ali who voluntarily submitted to the provisional government, on condition that all the arms and munitions of war in the department shonid be im- mediately handed over to him, which was done. ‘The material consisted of some 228 stand of muskets with thelr corresponding outfit. No sooner had Veraguas submitted than a commission arrived from Chiriqui offering submission also, and the victorious general will start for that department in a day er two to arrange matters there. ‘Thus ends this “tempest in @ teapot.” Some idea of the freed and independence of the ‘sovereign Panama," boasting of a population of ¢00,000 sanie, may be formed froi the fact that one man, with on hundred and fifty badly equipped troops, has, with- out fring ashot, been able to capsize the govern- ment, annul the votes of the people and subjugate the whole of them to his command. But #0 tt is throughout the whole of this southern Continent. Whatever may be said of the freedom of their insti tutions, the sword in the bands of a few despots, | and not the voice of the people, ls what governs | everything, The boast in my last communication that the ratl- road had withstood the heavy rains withont soffer ing — does not hold good now. On Saturday | night a freshet carried away a culvert and about fifty feet of the road and embankment between Obispo and Eunpire stations, and if the rains con- tinue, which they doubtless will, it may take several weeks to repair the damage permanently. The cn- gineer of the road, Mr. Turner, was enabled to rig up a temporary crossing so that the passengers by the Ocean Queen, which reached Aspinwall front New York on Sunday morning, after a nearly ten days’ trip, were able to get to. nama lave on M day night and sail hence for San Franeis steamer Montana on the morning of the 28th. ‘The steamers for Central and South America were both obliged te sail from Panama without the New York maiis or peencn ses. , The importation of laborers from abroad, to Works at a reduced rate of wages, by the raliroad does now appear to please the Panama darkies, who nave heen tarned out of employment.
