No such rrO88 OUtrages, he insisted, had been committed in New York by policemen, and he asked that the accused policemen be placed under heavy bonds to auswer ata higher court. Sergeant McCready said in reply that he had very little Show agatnst the flowery speech of the opposing counsel, and asked an journment until they could xet counsel to speak for them, The Judge granted an adjournment for two hours to enable the accused policemen to get counsel. At three o’clock the court reassembled, with the court room as densely crowded as at the former ses- sion, Mrs. Baust gave her testimony, which in its main particulars corroborated the previous evidence of her husband, She said she was struck twice violently in the breast by Sheehan, preventing her nursing her infant since by orders of her physician, Her evidence was made the basis of a special com- plaint against Sheehan. r. C, 8. Spencer now appeared as counsel for the accused policemen, He said he could not ask a dis- missa! of the case upon the evidence, but preferred to have it go before 8 jury. The Judge said that after two days’ investigation into the facts he should require the defendants to give bail in $1,000 each to answer at the Court of General Sessions. The bail was speedily furnished. OMcer Shechan gave additional bail tn $1,000 to answer the complaint of Mrs. Baust. Thus ends the case for the present. Meantime Michael Ward, one of the witnesses, was committed to prison to answer a charge of perjury. THE NATIOVAL LABOR CONGRESS. Sixth and Last Day’s Session—Pittsburg Se- * lected for Holding the Next Congress—The President’s Salary Increased—The New York Herald as an Argument Against the Emi- wrant Ald Company. ‘The National Labor Congress brought its proceed- ings toa close at noon yesterday. Whatever esti- mate may be made of the benefits it is likely to bring to the great body of workingmen throughout the country, no doubt can be entertained about its earn- estness of purpose to elevate the tone of the working classes, to infuse a spirit of mdependence and sel{- reliance, to encourage inquiry into the best means of securingfthat depth and breadth of unity among those who labor, that the schemes of capital, where they encroach upon tne domain of labor, will be fittingly counteracted, and, above all, in the ex- pressed harmony and serious deliberations of its councils. Itis true, this Congress was not in all re- spects ag nationalas it might have been; other divisions of labor, not represented in its body, might have well been present; but it should be borne in mind thia is but the pioneer of an enterprise which, 1n the course of a very few years, will become under discreet yet energetic management one of the great controlling powers of the country. It will, if properly combined and held strictly neutral between political parties, command an overwhelming influ- ence in directing legislation tn its favor. The other half of creation, which is no_ despicable element of this great republic, has been formally in- colparsieg in its ranks. Whe prospect may now be said to enter on a phase equally novel and bewilder- ing. The women have been admitted to member- ship by @ unanimous vote of this male Congress, What will be the result when in place of a few hun- dred females being represented half a million send their delegates to speak in their behalf? The pressure will be tremendous in favor of woman suffrage, and in all likelihood the next Congreas will declare itself emphatically in favor of that which this Congress, with only the influence of a few women brought to bear upon it, came very near endorsing. ‘The Congress met_at nine o'clock yesterday morn- ing at Germania Hall, Bowery, Mr. Wm. H. Sylvis residing. After the reading of the minutes Mr. E. H, Lucker moved to go into informal baliot for the purpose of determining where the next Congress shall be held. A formal ballot was then taken. Total votes, 31—in favor of Pittsburg, 26; Washington, 5. Pittsburg was then declared chosen as the place where the next sessien of the Congress shall be held, Mr. CAMERON moved that the salary of the presi- dent be $1,000 per annum, He thought that sum was little enough for a competent person, @ really abie executive officer, such as they had. Mr. LUCKEx was willing to give $1,000, and thought it should be more; but where was the money to come from’ The late president had a heavy claiin against the Union. Mrs. MACDONALD inquired what amount of a man’s perforynance of a th ‘as occupied in the faithful president's duty, Mr. CAMERON, in reply to Mr. Lucker, said that he understood that Mr, Sylvis would not make claim for a cent uniess the revenue afforded it. Mr. SYLVIS (the president) said unless he was paid at least $1,000 he proposed that some one else should hold the oftice, Migs ANTHONY approve: of the position taken by the president. She saw that an attempt was made to piace the president iu the position in which she was placed fortweénty years, during which she was engaged in reformatory movements—do all the drudgery and foot all the bills aud was now without $500 to her name. Considerable debate occurred upon the besi means of raising revenue to meet the salary. Mr. Trove said there were 600,000 working men, who, taxed at oue cent each, would produce $6,000. Miss ANTHONY said that as the Congress had now adinitted women there would be 600,000 working wo- men paying one cent at the next Congress. Mrs. CADY STANTON took the floor in favor of pay- ing a liberai salary to the president. r. GavL moved as an amendment that the salary be $1,500 in addition to all necessary expenses that he may incur. Mr. McwaL. thought the Congress was now in a very ridiculous position after resolving itself into a national labor party, and yet unable to pay its presi- dent a salary of $1,000 a year. The amendment to pay the presideyt $1,500 was agreed to by @ vote of 24 to 10. 'r. SYLVIs, the president, took the floor in ex- planation of a resolution passed at @ previous stage of the deliberations of the Congress, in reference to emigration. It might be supposed by some that this resolution aimed at throwing obstacles in the way of foreign emigration and impeding the employment of mechanics from other countries, but in truth it was intended to expose the true character of an institu- tion under the name of the Emigrant Aid Company, started under the auspices of the Congress at Washi- ington, ostensibiy to promote the welfare of those who sought a refuge and a fleld for labor in this country, but having for its rea! object the en- thralment of unsuspecting foreigners, for the purpose of undermining the interests of Dative workmen and promoting those of certain large capitalists and manufacturers. Mr. Syivis here read a letter which appeared in the New York Herawv of July 2, from its Washington correspond- ent, exposing the entire scheme of this Emigration detailing the manner in which it through Congress, together with I the nefarious character of nved how the resolutions, jected, were aime vily at this s intended to prevent in any Way the emigration or employment of foreign vor. minor resobitions were then presented and Mrs. STANTON said in the resolutions to which the president, alluded reforence was made, she thought, nokidly and invite: to the “unskilled .abor of other countries.” It wa only objectionable allusion that siruck her ear ta all the proceedings of the Congress, She b eved there could be no oljec. ten in ing the expression out Mr. Peere moved that the words be expunged, which was agreed to, the president stating that their erasion from the infoutes would be dom Hefore adjournit SIDENT stated that as the | working women we V incorporated in their or- strength ganization the 1 influence would b | the Navy Yard t4 ours. very apy ny increased at their next annual fr from several dele | ured by the president | | TOMMY HAODEN AS A POLICE COURT PRACTITIONER. | From the Evening Telegram, Sept. 26.) | Yommy Hadden has @m intimate familiarity with | the inte of pollc ut, He appeared this | morning pefore Judwe Mansfeld, of the Besex Mar ket Police Court, in a charactor rather new to him, however—that of counsel for a p F.

His mental vision was obscured. He evidently could not see something, but whether that something was why he should have no better success a3 & practitioner, or whether the Judge had no more humanity, or something else, it would be impossible to MILITARY NOTES, ‘The First cavalry N.

In times long gone by it was usual to increase largely the numerical strength of the working force at the Brooklyn Navy Yard just before the elections. ‘This custom is, however, now obsolete, and govern- ment patronage is no longer extended for political purposes in this once greatly coveted goal. A far differeat state of affairs exist. The economical policy of Congress in reducing to an unprecedented extent the naval appropriation bill has caused the largest amount of exercise on the part of tne “pruning knife,” which has left no braneh of the service un cared for, but bas been clipping away in every nook and corner, unt! our late splendid and eMcient navy is reduced to a peace basis—a footing commensurate with that which it held previous to the rebellion. At this station a nnmerons fleet of war vessels are lying rotting in ordinary. The vesseis more recently returned from duty in various squadrons are veins housed over, and this work affords employment for the ship carpenters and joiners.

Ee THE CAMBLE POISONING C4 Fifth Day’s Proceedinge—Testimony of Mise Julia Maguire, an Attendant of the De- ceased Woman, ‘The further examination of this peculiar case of alleged poisoning was continued yesterday, at the residence of Justice Bogart, Nanuet, Rockland county, New York, ‘There were present Chauncey Shaffer and Henry Daily, Jr., as counsel for the pro- secution, while Henry L, Clinton and Cornelius P, Hoffman Still attended closely the interests of the de- fendants, Professor Doremus was on hand ready to submit the resuits of his analytical labors in relation to the contents of the stomach of the deceased Mrs. Gamble; but the testimony of @ Miss Julia Maguire, because of its length, precluded the accept- ance of the Professor’s report and of his examination, The young woman whose evidence is subjoined attended Mrs. Gamble at the birth of her child last autumn in New York city, but her acquaintance with her had begun previously and extended to the day of her death, Miss Maguire gave her testimony in @ manner that conveyed the impression that she had but little sympathy with the prisoners. Her re- sponses were apt, her manner pert and at times she felt inclined to handy words with the opposing coun- sel. There were the usual objections, the ordinary by-play and other ordinary common place features noticeable during the course of the day that are characteristic of such preliminary examinations. TESTIMONY OF MISS JULIA MAGUIRE. Treside in Eighty-fourth str between Second and Third avenues, New York; | know Robert J. Gamble; have known him two years; I also knew Mrs. Margaret J. Gamble about ‘the same length of time; she lived at No, 60 East Twelfth street, New York, when I first beeame acquainted with her; I knew her one week before she married Mr. Gamble; was in the habit of visiting her; after becoming ac- quainted with her I saw her either every week or certainly every two weeks; Mr. Gamble during the time of their residence in Rast Twelfth street treated Mrs. Gamble very hard sometimes; at the birth of her chiid 1 was there, and there was also a young gz. a Miss Lonisa Bauer, whom Mr. and Mrs. Gam- ble brought there when they returned from the country; | was then taking car of Mrs. Gamble; was engaged about one w in this capacity; | saw Mr. Gamble one night during that. time take his wife and pitch her on the feather bed; this was after the birth of her child; in throwing her on the bed he tore the bed; also saw him throw her in her bedroom one night from the parlor, and 1 picked her up; after he threw her on the floor he did not assist me in picking her up; after he threw her on the bed at the time alluded to Mr. Gamble called his wife an “old prostitute; he also said to her that “she was not fit to live with any decent man; he aiso said that “the property she had was not her own, and that she was @ dirty that is all I remember as happen- ing on that occasion; this was about three weeks after the birth of her child; after Mr. Gamble threw his wife on the bed she cried, and when she got oif the bed sat in a faint for some time; Mr, Gamble at this time went down in the kitchen; I took care of Mrs. Gambie while she was in the fainting state; 1 fixed the bed and put her mto it; Mrs. Gamble did not lose any blood after being thrown on the bed; both of these occurrences of ill usage were on the same day; Mr. Gamble’s condition at the time he threw his wife on the bed wasa sober one, and when he threw her upon the floor he was also sober; in relation to the further treatment of Mr. Gamble to his wife during the time I was with 5 wy, two weeks after what T have just narrated occurred, Mrs. Gamble was ill again and I was with her; Mr. Gamble then wanted Miss Bauer to take care of his wife; at this time he was in the room; Mr. Gamble told his wife that Miss Bauer “should come there and take care of her; his wife objected to this, say- ing ‘she should not_come, she should hive me or her Sister Cronin;”” Mr. Gamble was lying in the par- lor on the sofa; asked him to go for * Sister Cro- nin;’’ he said that she (his wife) “should die and be d—d without the sister;” he said nothing further; I went for Mrs. Gamble’s sister to New Brighton, 8. L.; her sister came to the house; I was there at the time and remained four days after; Mrs. Gamble’s sister came there in the morning about seven o'clock and went home the same day about four o’clock; Mr. Gamble did not treat his wife badly any more while I was there; Mrs, Gamble’s child was born, I think, in October, 1867; the child is not living; to the best of my knowledge he lived but five weeks; I did not ob- serve any particular conduct on the part of Mr. Gamble toward this child during his wife's presence, nor caring her absence, {Here the witness, however, in answer to a ques- tion relative to the child peing. on the floor upon one occasion, from the prosecuting council, thought of considerable, which produced, when told, some littie sensation, about the onl: noticeable ripple that has as yet been observed in the little court room.) Resuming—Yes, I do recollect about the baby on the floor; Sister Cronin and I were in the room at the time; Mr. Gamble came in and the baby was lym on the lounge in the bedroom; he took it- and threw iton the floor; the other lady (not named) ‘hat came with Sister Cronin picked it up and said, the baby killed?’ the baby at that time was about two weeks old; Mra. Gamble was in her bed when this occurred; the lounge was in the same room as she was; after he had thrown the baby on the floor Gamble did not do orsay anything; he left the room in a few minutes and weft down into the kitchen; Ihave heard conversations between Mr. and Mrs, Gamble relating to Miss Bauer; it was baby was born and after they came from try; this was about a month before the chi try; this was about a month before the child was born; Mrs, Gamble then forbade Mr. Gamble to go down to Bauer's, hecause she was the instigation of trouble between her and Mr. Gamble during the yisit in the country; Mr. Gamble said he would go tuere as often as he liked; while I knew Mrs. Gamble | never saw her take anything to hurt herin the way of liquor, except what the doctor prescribed for her while she was in the city; Mrs, Gamble told me in the presence of her husband that ‘Louisa Bauer slapped her face in her own parlor; Mr. Gam- bie at this remark said nothing, bat laughed: no one else was present when she told me this; it w: about one week after they came from the country; Ihave been at Mrs. Gambie’s house in Rockland county; it was on the 6th of August last, after her death; I first saw Mr. Gamble after arrival; he came to the door and shook hands with me; | asked him “How were all the folks?” he said, “Do you notknow that Maggie is dead?’ I told him “No;” he then asked me if [did not see it in the paper; I told him no, that I did not often take the paper; | asked him why he had not sent word down to New York; aid 1 Jenly that he did not have died of, and he said that of the bowels; Mr. asked him what sh she died of inflammation Gamble then went out of the parlor, amt 1 was alone; he soon returned with Mrs, Hujus; 1 asked him to introduce me to her; he did she asked me if | was the godmother of Mrs. jamble’s child that died and I said yes; Lasked her how long Mrs. Gamble was sick and she replied, ‘Ofr and on for five weeks;” I asked her if she said anything about her people before she died; she an- swered that Mrs. Gamble wanted to write, but that she was unable; she also said that she asked Mrs, Gamble shouid she (Mrs. HH.) not write, but she satd said no; Mrs. Hujus then asked ine if 1 was the oung lady that Mrs, Gamble talked so much about i answered, “I suppos 1. also when Mrs. Gamble died; ir ¢ and Mrs. Hajus both replied that Mra, ble slept from about eight o'clock in evening (the night previous to her death) and awe between twelve and one o'clock, and then turned on her side and gave a sigh; Mr. Gatable said he asked her if she wanted anything: he satd she turned over onher other side, and, giving one or two moans, died without speaking of any one belonging to her; nd Mra.

Pass Paris, Sept. 11, 1848, ~ It has often been remarked that great events arise from insignificant incidents, I am inclined to be- lieve in this profound bit of observation, for when. ever [ have been led into evil it was because I only either offered my arm toa single lady who was ner- vous about crossing a horse drive, or because I yol- unteered to shelter an unprotected female in a lovely toilet under my umbrella, or simply because Imay have left my umbrella at home ona rainy day and allowed myself to be driven to my club in the couvé of some compassionate beauty who knows all about me, has met me at places frequently and finds out that we have mutual friends, All these insignificant yaux pas have in- variably ended badly—as often as possible at a jewel- jer’s store, where a costly trifle, by way of souvenir, ought to make a man wise, I pride myself on being drilled into wisdom quite on a level with the sagest of the sages, and still great events do happen to me. ‘The small incident which gave rise to my resolu- tion to leave Paris for the coasts of Normandy last week was the following short dialogue, 1 was com- ing out of one of the “best” hotels as an Englishman walked tp and thus addressed the landiord :— “Can I have a room in your house??? “Yea, sir; you can have it all, from top to bottom, at the same price.” Whether the offer was accepted [I cannot tell. I walked off with leaden sadness at heart, rushed up tomy rooms determined to leave this apandoned capital, packed up some clothes, carefully handing my blu¢ coat and gilt buttons, and just buckled the last strap when up came my concierge with a handful of letters. It looked like business just asf was anticipating a pleasure trip, but I sighed, pulled my travelling cap resolutely over my ears and waded through. The very last of the pile contained a—well, yes, alock of fair hair with a flash and golden hue on it, tt was like silk and crisp, and looked as if it had never been spoilt by all the trashy oils ladies will, alas! use, But it was not so much the lock that diverted my attention go totally from the object I had in view a few moments before as the note itself, which was either written in nigger or telegraph style, rendered unintelligible from the absence of those parts of speech which ladies consider useless when they are in a hurry. It ran as follows:—‘Take infor- mation; you best match possib!s; not for me; stall meet you Tuesday, eleven A. M.; alone; your rooms. Julia Kena.’ This was a riddle, but the postscript alarmed me. “No parting now.” Here was a Julla somebody coming alone to my rooms on Tuesday, at eleven o'clock, the ve bontt the very same—by all that is immutable on the Almanac she was coming | in less than a quarter of an hour of the fatal mio- ment from that when I received her gibberish, and there was to be no parting, and we were the best match possible, and—but the phrase ‘not for me'’ was arelief, What could a man do but wipe his forehead after this? And there lay the curly lock “not for me.” Perhaps I was thought the best match possible for somebody else and was to be acted on like French brides. Perhaps I had better escape; but there lay the lock. Well, no;I wouldn't fly before danger; I would just be @ match for Julia herself, but I would cover my statuettes up in gauze, throw brown holland over the chairs, lean my gun against the seat I should sit on, tell her it was loaded as soon as she walked in, by way of caution, place a revoiver on the side table near Which she should sit and take other measures to make the place appear wrapped up in winding sheets for three months. Exactly ateleven A. M. there was a violent ring at the outer bell, the cordon was pulled by the concierge, high heeled boots came up the stone steps and there was aknock at my door. I gave out aclear “Come in” and who should enter, to my utter confusion, but Fashion herself, my sovereign lady, in whose presence Jam but what a minister is to Napoleon, “Going?” she exclaimed, and walked ee a up to my revolv- er, which she examined, while f ne aware I had thrown down my cap and was bow she just put her two first fingers in my hand. you do deserve @ holiday, and you are not so radi- cally stiif as usual to-day.

Es3zx County Courts.—In his presentment to the Grand Jury, on Friday, Judge Depue calied the attention of the jurors to a case that had been tried in the Cicuit Court during the week, in which the sult was for the recovery of a due bill. A receipt was brought m court con'aining various sums for differext items, Where, however, a figure 5, repre- senting five dollars, occurred, there now appeared 15, appearances going to show that the addditional cypher had been inserted aiterwards, and therefore such @ substitution, if proved, would constitute for- gery. The Judge also drew the attention of the body to the facilities which parties now have in filing pleas, when in many instances an adherence to ine truth would preclude the possibiliiy of an ability to elect such aresult. Parties frequently took advantage of the “law’s delays,” in order to obtain time for them- selves and Cause annoyance and expense to creditors.
