A, Rollins, Commissioner @f Internal Revenue, Deputy Commissioner Harlan ena Bx-Deputy Collector Smith.—The hearing in this ease was resumed yesterday morning. Mr. Binckley ‘was present for a few minutes only, and had a pri- ‘vate conversation with Mr. Fullerton, taking his leave Mhortly afterwards, 1 The cross-examination of the witness J. D. McHenry was resumed by Mr. Sedgwick, and the lowing are the main points of his testimony:— ir. Locb’a face was partially turned towards me ‘when | saw him counting out the money in the oom at Willard’s Hotel; I watted at the Pennsy)- Vania avenue entrance fo phe hotel until Mr. Loeb game out; | think I spoke té& him some time during ‘the day after seeing him counting the money; I de- fermine the capacity of a stil by actual measure- ent and a general examination of the machinery; ascertain the fomenting capacity of the mash tabs yy measuring their depth and diameter; a tub ten and @ half feet in diameter at the bortom and eight and a half feet in diameter at the twp @nd twelve and a half feet in height will hol 3,672 wine gallons; I Saw the fifty barre!s of whiskey ‘on pier No. 1 about noonday; it was about the latter art of December, 1867; 1 Was an inspector of Inter- al revenue at that time; } saw some of tose barrels riven to Pike's d l saw them branded “tax id”? while on t c ‘ays; I did not swear nay afidavit that J saw them marked and nded “tax paid they were on the trucks; is my impression. as 1 can remember, that hey Were (ark: » the way from the pler to the rectifying esta! ; 1 mentioned the fact @Miciaily in a report 1 afterwards made; [ not think I be sny draft of that report; Teported it soz rout the ist of January; Was in the la going every morning to the Metropolitan Board rooms; sometimes 1 saw Mr. Harlan there and someumes 1 did not; when Pike came in that morning | did not know whether Mr. in iis ofice; when 1 wanted to see was in [ generally went to look it was the general practice for very one in the oflice to look through the glass if ey Wished to see Whether Mr. Harian was in or ‘waa engaged; I did not go to the glass at the instant i Pike entered the room; I first looked at some ters aud put them in the box before I looked through the glass; there was a table ip Mr, Harlan’s ee. Q. When you first looked through the glass did Mr. Pike have the check in his hand? A. I didn’t notice it the first moment, but ina very short time terwards I saw the check passed; my impression that isaw him put his hand in his pocket, but I @idn’t see the check come out of his pocket. Q. Had the check been folded up? A. Tt was smoeth, apparently as if taken from a book; Mr. Pike held i¢ almost sti!l in his hand for probably a minute and a haif; t might have been about four feet from in front of me; J read the ch it was being passed from one to She other; I have good eyes; us a general thing 1 can Fead We os eat y Mr. Sedgwick (while moving a r slow! am Front of the witness)—Will_ you be gohtanoagh i Fead that? Witness did not seem to be able to read tas it passed, and answered:—Well the writing on e check Was some W ‘ore plain than that, Mr. Sedgwick obtained a check from a gentleman eeeens, and passed it slowly before the witness, oc- pying three or four se s in doing so. Q. What was on that check? A. It says, “Cheml- al Nationa! Bank.’ Q. Wuat else? A. I didn’t get a chance to see that, | _Q What was the date, sir. A. I didn’t see that, Ir. i want to see it “a mimute or a minute anda jp Q Was it payable to order? A. No, sir. Q. Well, what !s it? Whois the maker? 4. You passes that before me in about ten seconds; I want before me for a mimute and a half. } Mr. Sedgwick desired witness to take out his (wit- ess’) Walch and time a minute or @ minute and a f, and see it the check was so long in passiug, Mr, Sedgwick timed one miuute and five seconds 8 OWD Watch, and said:—You mean to say that r. Pike held the check before your eyes for this h of time? A, 1 think so; about that, othing further of importance was elicited in the @ross-examination or in the brief direct wiich foi- ‘ed. * Alexander Gropp, who was in the distillery busi- Mess in 1867 in ihirty-ninth street,in the Eighth Collection district, was called and examined, Early fu his examination, which seemed to teud towards ot ge acts of Mr. Thoinas Smith, the collector of hat district, an objection was made by the defence on the ground that the evidence was immaterial, mniless it was intended to connect those acts with the co-conspirators. Mr. Courtney said the warrant was two-fold in its aspect, one charge being for conspiracy and the other for bribery. Mr. Sedgwick claimed that the warrant embraced nothing but conspiracy—a conspiracy to defraud ‘the revenne and @ conspiracy to procure themselves w be bribed. Mr. Courtney proposed to introduce this evidence ‘under the general Lead of bribery. (Alter consult- ng with Mr. Fullerton)—On consultation with my: @sHOcIate We Bay that we have no knowledge of evi- mee now to connect this matter with Mr, Rollins, understand your Honor you hoid that this war Fant does not inciude a case of bribery. * Commissioner Guttman—No, 8 if it had in- eluded bribery I should bave required you to charge what that bribery was. Mr. Courtney—I think on looking at this war- vant that your Honor is right about it. I had read it ramets g bribery as an independent sentence. Mr. Gropp will you piease stand aside? Robert D. Anderson, next witness, sworn by Mr. Pullerton:—Resides in Brooklyn; was formerly as- gistant assessor of Third Collection district; made a seizure of property on the premises on Fiushin, avenue, near Kent avenue; the seizure made was 0! chernicals; the premises belonged to a Mr, Mariot; the assessor at the time was Mr. Welwood; Mr. Wood ‘was the collestor; the charge was illicit distillation, running a distillery without a leense; made com- ee to the assessor, Who reported the matter to e collector, and he heard the property had been wetzed. Mr. White objected to the course of the examina- don as the seizure of the premises in question had mothing to do with the quarge of couspiracy, the Bubject of inquiry, Mr. Fullerton said ne would show that one of the @efendants charged ih the indictment was a party to the fraud which led to the seizure of the distillery in question, and that from this seizure and the parties charged with defrauding the goverument originated the conspiracy in this case. Mr. Sedgwick subiolt that if ap offence had deen committed by the parties in the case referred to by the witness, that was an individual offence and Was not an offence in the manner of @ conspiracy. ‘The same objection held good here, which was sns- tamed in the case of Gropp: testimony. Does the puDsel Wish to sow by this witness @ conspiracy tween any of the parties charged im the matter of the seizure of this property’ Mr. Fullerton—The question is whether the acts ‘were not in consequence of an understanding which preceded them. Lf so it 1s a conspiracy, and in this connection I propose to show what one of these indi- viduals did, and I m laying the foundation for establishing this by proving the seizure of this pro- rty. We are advised and expect to show that one the defendants will be connected with this trans- aetion; that one of the defendants released this pro- for a consideration made to him by the owner orth property in an illegal way. If { prove this shen I submit that the person receiving the money ‘and the party paying it were conspirators to defraud ‘Me government. My. Sedgwick contended that it was against all Jaw and practice to go outside of the indictment to tain the charge of oe cd by ta each of the defendants separately and charging them with tirely different offeuce with otner parties unknown. ¥ position ts that we propose to examine into a ifie offence which your Honor had in view when ou issued this warrant. The Comtaissioner—ln which one of these parties participated’ Mr. Sedgwick—No, but in whitch all are implicated. Whe warrant does not say “these four or one of Shem, or others unknown conspired together,’ but hese four particular persons combined and con- mpired together. We do not deny but you can pro- weed against any one of these defendants and cons vict him with an offence in connection with other put in that case the charge against the others must I to the ground, or elae the case goes on in a foriu «and shapeless tanner, Mr. Courtney—We are informed that we will ve able to show that on a certain day one of these de endants, being a public oficer empowered with ¢ fain authority, did, among other things, combine With another party to release property; that after ne seizure had been made by a competent officer of this property—that ts, pai under seizure under pro- ceedings in court—thie property was released by order of one of these defendants in consideration of tain payment m to Dim with that intent. ‘This, itis trae, is bribery, but tt t# aldo conspiracy, | ‘ae there must have been the coming together of two Minds 16 accomplish it— Property and the payment he Commisstoner—1 wil tis the release of the @ cousideration. allow the question to be at.

Since the gasometer on New street, between Exchange place and Beaver street, has been abandoned by the company there is not gas enough ip hardly any office orestablishiment. Particularly in Maiden Jane, wnere the jewellers use for fuel, the complaints are severe, for at four P, M. they have to stop work. These are the complaints as made by the people; What has the company to say? A POLITICAL QUARREL.—John Martin, of No. 75 Elizabeth street, who says he is ap active Grant and Colfax man, became involved in a political contro- versy yesterday afternoon with Patrick Kelly, a demo*rat, as they stood in front of a liqu tore on the corner of Mott F Broome streets, Kelly be- came so enraged at Martin declaring his belief that Seymour would be defeated that he struck the repub- lican in the chest and Knocked him down, ‘tin’s head struck the stone stoop and he sustained @ ter- ribie cut on the back of his skull, causing the blood to flow freely. Officer Lent, of the Fourteenth pre- cinct, arrested Bey and arraigned him before Jus- tice Hogan at the Tombs, the complainant creating some excitement by his bloody aspect. After con- siderable investigation the magistrate held the ac- cused for trial. SHor.irying.—Yesterday afternoon about two o'clock Sergeant Van Eagan, of the Broadway squad, had his attention attracted by the movements of two well dressed girls, who were walking up Broadway calling in at the different stores as they came along, as though out on some tremendous shopping excursion. Having some previous knowl- edge of them, however, he was not deceived into supposing this to be the case, but watched them suc- cessively into and out of adozen stores, only inter- ested at the chance of their turning out of Broad- way into aside street. Finally, when Eighth street was reached, having just come out of Schaus’ picture store, they turned into it, and the sergeant then weil knowing that they had got something he sent oMcer Woosley after them, who arrested them and brought them to oe ood On searching them atebel and two sinail picture frames were found on the girl O'Brien. Both of them have been in custody before on a similar charge, so say# the sergeant, who fur- ther states that it was owing to the cu stance of their being out too early yesterday, when the sto were tiot sineh crowded, that they did not in making a better han), bemg remarkably 4 They wil be brought up at the bs this morning. ANOTHER. Gi FOR FORTUNE. Larceny of $2,000 in Gold from the Count- ing Koom of Duncan, Sherman & Co.

Statements of disappointed expectations in threshing are suM- ciently abundant in the South, in Wisconsin and other parts of the West to furnisi themes for agri- culture! croakers. A little rust here and there, the chinch bug and other causes of failure are found. The grasshopper at certain points in the distaut West has been a burden to wheat growers. On the other hand cases are men- tioned of a threefold acreage with halt an average yield, giving a fifty per cent aggregate increase, not- withstanding the loss, Numerous returns declare the present thelargest crop in many years, and the majority, in vitw of the general increase in acreage, show # better result than that of last year, after ac- counting for losses in the yield. It may be stated, however, that the average yield per acre of the whole country is scarcely equal to that of 1867, but the increased area sown will secure an aggregate somewhat larger than the product of that year. The States indicating a ased product are as follows, ten representing an average yield:—New Hampshire, 9.8; Connecticut, orth Carolina, #.4: South Carolina, 8.9; Georgia, jabama, 8.4; xas, 6.8; Wisconsin, 9.5.

See tee Fifth Day’s Seesiou—Mies Susan B. Anthony's Opinion of the Twe Great Political Partica— The Pelicy of trikes Discussed—Woman Suffrage Ignored. < The National Labor Congress met at the appointed hour, nine A. M. yesterday, Mr. Sylvis occupying the chair as President. There was » full attendence of delegates. It was generally expected that the pro- ceedings would be brought to a close by five o'clock’ in the afternoon, but such @ long series of resolutions came pouring in immediately prior to that time that it was deemed advisable to afford more general sat- isfaction im holding another: session to-day. The Platform was the first subject of, discussion. Mr. KEATING moved that the part in the platform referring to strikes be stricken out. He contended that the wise and conciliatory policy which a na- tional labor congress should aim at giving expres- sion to would be better served by avoiding allusion to strikes, Miss Susan B. ANTHONY thought that portion of the pla‘form should not be stricken out. She held that it was essential to the integrity and success of all labor organizations that this great weapon of strikes should be prominently put forward, that capitalists and aristocrats might. be always able to under- stand that the workingmen had a sure means of securing thelr rights, The Chicago plat- form, she held, was dictated by the gold gamblers of Wall street and such men as A. T. Stewart & Co., while, on the other hand, the democratic party were led and driven by Belmont & Co, The two parties held the working- men in bondage. She had been in all sorts of con- ventions for twenty years, but tue moment the idea was broached about euttt joose from political parties the cry was started you are introducing politics; but did they know that the real enthral- ment of labor proceeded from the blind, unquestion- ing faith and adherence with which the workingwen persisted in panay ing the fortunes of the two great corrupt political parttes of the country? Mr. TREVILLACK said while he agreed with a good deal that had dropped from the lips of the noble Jady who bad just taken her seat he contended that strikes, Independent altogether of politics, were a bbe and necessary means of protecting labor, He jemanded tie right to strike, for it the great shield of the workingman and should never be su rendered, He did not want to encourage strik he would recommend a resort to all reasonal means before recurring to this way of enforcin; the demands of the workingmen; but when their rights were disregarded he held it was a grand and heaven- born means of defence and assertion, ‘rhe original motion was then pat and carried. Mrs. MCDONALD took an hy iaesa just then, of saying that if she thought that sectton of the piat- form interfered with the strike of the bricklayers she would haye opposed ita being introduced into the platform, Which she could have done. She wauted to tell these men that if they wanted her aid she would give it to them, even if she had to stand on the platform of a street car and drive a pair of horses. She could drive a team or a tandem abreast of apy man, Mr. FINCHER moved to strike out the section re- lating to financtal matters, Alter some debate it was further moved that it be referred to a special committee with instructions to report in the afternoon, An amendment to lay the latter motion on the table was adopted. The ques- tion of striking out the paragraph in the platform exprenng ie idea of promoting a system of co- operation between capital and labor by the tssue of treasury notes made a legal tender in the payment of all debts, public and private, and convertible at the option of the holder into government bonds bearing a just rate ot interest sufficient to the rate of increase in the national wealth by natural pro- duction, as to make an equitable distribution of the products of labor between non-producing capital and labor, reserving to Congress to alter the same, when in their judgment the public interest would be promoted thereby, was then discussed. Fincern Mr. took strong grounds against has been 80 industriously present debt ts held for the most part by the working classes He held that the workingmen had very little interes’ in the government bonds. ven the business men of the country held a comparatively trifling portion of the bonds. © They could not afford to keep this gov- ernment paper lying idle on their hands, and the result was a snail number of speculators and capi- talists were engaged at this tlme trading on the national debt and absorbing it entirely amoug them- selves. Several Ra ani articipated in the debate on the financia! question, developing ta turn odd theories for the management of the debt and the circulation oh she currency, Mr. micas pane 3 ae conclu- n that v among the ew any- thing ot Medill theory of ays Mr. Batrory announced that he was twenty-five years ahead of the Congress in his notions on the subject. ¥ was in favor of @ paper currency and ay, of They might by a course of contraction ring the price of a cow down to a penny, but at the same time they might leave the man who wanted the cow without the penny to buy it. Mr. MAGUIRE Fajen that the Congress. give such expression to its views that the members of Congress whom they help to elect shall stand upon thelr platform in regard labor and finance. He thought Mr. Blair ranning for Vice President was a good man to represent the laboring classes. Mr. Le BouRNes Offered as a substitute for the sec- tion pi x to be stricken ont, “that logal money be issued in such proper proportion to the whole property of the country as will furnish @ currency which shall be adequate to the business of the coun- try and sufticiently abundant to reduce interest to @ nominal rate.’ Twelve o’clock having now arrived, the Congress adjourned till two o'clock in the afternoon, _ Afternoon Session. The Congress resumed its deliberations precisely at two o'clock, about one-half the delegates being present. Mr. Cavis submiited a resolution, which was adopted, that the representatives of each inter- Dational, national and State organization In the National Labor Congress be assessed in the sum of fifteen doliars, and the delegates of local unions in ae sum of ten doliars, to defray the expenses of the longress. The PRestpentT then announced the subject which had occupied the wttention of the delegates in the ee session a8 being the pending order of de- vate, Mr. Pvetr took the floor and arguef that the policy of the bondholders and bankers was inimical to the interests of labor. Six per cent interest was being nominally paid on the national debt, but the actual interest amounted to twelve per cent. He contended that bondholders, as well as all others, should bear the burden of taxation, and that as long as distinctions are made, and that labor is compelled to bear all the burdens @ystem of government will eventually be inaugu! here after the fashion of European monarchies. Mr. CAMERON spoke a few words on the same side, and paid @ high compliment to General Samuel F. Carey for his services in the cause of labor. Mr. BaTorY advanced an iment that property an not meu should be taxed, in piace of the system which prevailed of giving interest to capital and tax- ing the ple to pay this: interest. The banks were now ing sixteen percent, and it was this system of usury and not the national debt that was felt by the country. Every man interested in banking called for contraction. The Secretary of the Treasury, who was in favor of the banks, ui contraction also. As for him (Mr. Batory) he had no apprehen- sion from degree of expansion in the currency. Mr. TREVILLACK, in answer to the question of one of the delegates as to how exchanges with foreign countries would be managed in case a paper cur- rency was made @ permanent Institution in this country, said that if the legal tenders had been made a currency, and not mere prot to pay, no difficulty or loss would occur in the transaction of ex with Europe. Miss ANTHONY here rose with a of the Revo- lution in her hand and said if she had not risen be- fore to speak ane the financial question it was be- cause she considered that the whole question of wo- man’s position, a# well as man’s position, was centred in this great question of the currency. She did not wish it to go forth to the world that a workingman’s Congress was unable to assemble and deliberate in New York city without being bought up by Wall street, She sald toa certain gentieman just before the Democratic Convention which assembled here last July that that Convention would be sold out to Wall street, and she now maintained that the bar gain and sale had been carried out, Mr. FINCHER rose somewhat excitedly to a point of order and had charged a mo with having been bought sp. Hail the delegates listening to her might belon, that party represented by the convention named. The PRRSiNENT decided that the point of order was not well taken, - Miss ANTH#ONY—I have the same charge to make against the Chicago Convention, so you can see I'm impartial, (Laugiter,) She here read an extract from a copy of the Revolution and offered the follow- ing resolution, wnich wai casrled by @ vote of 21 to 19:— Resolved, That with the equal appitcation of the funda- mental priticiple of our republican democratic goverament— the consent of the governed—to the whole people and a sound monetary system there would be no antagonism between the the workingmen and workingwomen of this country, nor between any of the branches of productive in- Gnutry, the direct operation f each, when not prevented ‘an judt suffrage and mon wa, being to benefit all others by the production and distribution of the comf and necersaries of life; and that the adoption by the national government of the’ political, and financial polictos ‘set forth in the platform of this Congress will put an end to the oppression of workingwomen and are the only means of securing to them, ae well ag to workingmen, the just reward of their labor, ‘The debate on the financial issues continued, the Majority of the speakers being evidently in favor of the greenback theory #0 popular in the West.

Mr. Leg BockNes asked permission to withdraw his substitute, which was granted. Miss ANTHONY asked uf the previous question shut off any further debate on the platform, The Puesipenr replied in the affirmative, Mr, FINCHE: rose to a point of order and said the uestion “Shall the previous question now be putt? should be announced by the Chair, ‘Matters at Chis juncture became very much mixed, the majority of the delegates not having a very clear conception as to the exact subject before ihe house or as to the disposition of the platform, Mr, Cavis sought to emdighten the Chatr ard disen- tangle the complicated web of questions, amend- nts and resolutions. Mr, FINCHER appealed from a previous decision of the Chair, that when the main question was called for all further debate was cut oi. The decision was sustained and the platform was consequently adopted as at first revorted, with the single excep- Uon of the clause in reference to strikes, Which was struck out, Mrs, McDONALD here rose .and said the knocking gut of the plank on strikes had left the bricklayers ot New York city perfectly powerless, She proposed the following resolution, which she hoped every dele- gat in favor of the journeymen delegates would re- spond to by a clear and distinct aye. Resolved, That this Congress recognizes in its p'stform the right of the workingmoen aud workingwomen of th » sation to strike when ail other just and equitable concessivu» are ¥e- This was heartily adopted. Mrs. Edwin Cady Stanton here entered the room in company with two other ladies, and took a seat next Miss Anthony at the table in the centre of the room. Mr. WALLACE proposed a resolution, which wae adopted, that there be a committee of five appointed from the representatives of each State, siyled the Executive Committee, with power to organize their respective States into a tabor party. Second, that these committees have power to frame laws to govern the action of said party and make rules for the proper discipline of the same, and that thie union recominend the workingmen of the United States to immediately organize their respective leg- islative and Congressional districts under the same, and place their candidates in the fleld and to use their utmost efforts to elect them. Third:— Resolved, That wherever there {s a candidate already In the field standing oo the labor platform of this union, it shall be the duty of the execusive committee to render him all the ald and support in their power and use all honorabie means to secure their election. Mr. KEATING proposed that Mrs. McDonald, Mrs. Putnam and Miss Anthony be exempted from any assessment as delegates to the Congress, Mrs. MCDONALD took the floor and said:—I honor the spirit that prompted the resolution, but ] eannot consent to come upon the floor of this Congress ex- cept on the same money basis as the male members. They don't understand the woman question or the value of money as I do; these men never walked three and a haif miles with a baby in their, arms to make Pike’s Peak shirts at fourteen cents @ piece to get money to pay potsage on a letter to a husband as [did in Minnesota during that fearful panic of 1857. Advancing to the front of. the President's platform in real dramatic style, she asked the treasurer, “How much is .due from the associa- tion I represent?’ The treasurer sald nothing. I came here, continued Mrs. McDonald, with no other instructions than to do all [ could for the pro- tection and elevation of workingwomen. Owing to our very recent organization the actual membership of onr society is small. [have a word to say on the value and importance of @ penny. penny, Mr. President, is a great deal of money to the widow and her starving litte ones, wherever they may be; a penny buys the match that lights faggots on her di olate hearth; a penny buys her the bit of beef suet she bolls with her five cents’ worth of rice toimake it- hearty for her famishing babes; 5 penny pays for the apple or lemon to make a pleasant drink to wet the lips of the dying. ; ‘She then proposed the following resolution, wbich was lost by # decided vote in the negative:— Whereas tt is Impossibl class of laborsbonid he elevated much above all c ol and whife one class of Inborers is hung like a millstone around the neck of another class of laborers, as every body of disfranchieed Workers always has been aid always will be; therelare iat wotnan’s labor can- Resolved, That this Congy wer Rot cease to be other than a dey ation to man's til she has the right to say what will betaxed and who shalt disburse her money.

Yi, so thet holding real astate can vote on the election of town and village oficers on appropriations of moneys and be ellgi- ble to hold office under the town and village charters. Mrs. McDoNALp followed up by saying:—T claim to represent one thousand workingwomen too poor to pis into your treasury the sum your resolution calls for, and on their behalf I ask you to place this sum of ten dollars to their credit. This was received with applause; but Mra, Mc- Donald was evidently a little put out by the defeat of her resolution, Mr. TREVILLACK had a resolution unanimonsly ap- proved that a vote of thanks be tendered to the daily papers o! w York, and especially to the Lvening egram, for its kind attentions to the Labor Con- gress, A number of other resolutions relating to the rights of labor were afterwards offered, and the Congress ther adjourned till nine o’clock this morming, THE NATIONAL GAME.
