The Lottery Managers’ Tribualations—Con- clusion of the Argument. Before Judge Cardozo, John Morrissey vs. Zachariah E. Simmons, Charles Hi. Murray, Benjamin Wood and Twenty Others.— The argument in this case, in which plaintiff seeks to compel a forfeiture of about $121,000, was resumed yesterday. The cause of action, if any exists, in view of the nature of the business in which the lability is claimed to have arisen, is based upon a in which Morrissey sold Simmons, in December, 1867, twenty-six aud a half sharea in a common lottery enterprise valued at $212,000, the terms being $89,000 cash and the balance to be paid in monthly mstalments of $8,000 each.

He set to work, however, and msde com- laint to Governor Fenton about the way ia which ie had been treated. His complaint wis disre- rded. In the meantime the sale—if sale it could e called where nobody attended but the inerested ring of purchasers and where nobody outsiie could say who paid the money, if any was pais o° where it went to afterwards—had been settled. A lawyer in Wall street took charge of th mani- pulation of the sale and accomplished it, of course, to the satisfaction of the ring, of which, itis ‘hought, he is a distinguished ornament.

The Governor sent word that if he le an aitidavit it would be attended to.

Besides, even if he id it would be inevitably referred to the counsel of the Quarantine Com: ners and there finish its usefulness.

What are the shares respectively of Dr. Swinburne and Governor Fenton? Whether the intrinsic value of the property is $220,000 or saree If the 100 luts along the south front of the Quaran- tine grounds are worth an average of $¥,000 each, what is the value of the remainder of gthe twenty acres? If Canard would have given $500,000 for a dock on the water front, what is the whole water front worth? And is it customary to withhold one-fifth the stipulated price of a piece of property to expend in quadrupling its value? We pause for a reply. MILITARY INTELLIGENCE, Muster and Inspection of the First Regiment. Pursuant to General Order No. 6, current series, from headquarters Third brigade, N. G., S.N. Y., the First Regiment Hawkins’ Zouaves assembled yesterday at the regimental armory, Fourth street and Broadway, at two P. M. and marched to Tompkins square for the purpose of annual muster, inspection and review. Owing to the fact that one of the compantes had selected yesterday for a target excursion and picnic, contrary to the wishes of the commanding officer and in violation of orders, the regiment presented a very slim appearance. Line was formed at half-past two preciaely on the east side of the square, The total number present, rank and file, was not quite 250, General Liebenau not having arrived Brigade Major Wentworth proceeded to inspect the regiment and Colonel Hawkins acted as reviewing oficer. When the regiment had formed for review General Varian and the staff oMcers of the Third brigade accompanied the reviewing officer up and down.the line. The drum corps, on the right of the regiment, continued to drum the reviewing party had passed, which was the only mistake cominitted at that time. When the battalion was formed into column of companies be- fore marching past markers should have been on the right flank and six or eight paces from the reviewing officer. ‘The wheeling was done pretty well, nevertheless, and the marching was in time. Colonel Hawkins being the reviewing ot should not have returned the salutes of commandants of compantes in the march past, a salute to the com- manding officer and to the colors being all that etiquette required. At this moment General Lieb- enau Lo aoe hg on the ground and accompanied General Varian and staff to the head of the regiment, which was formed into columa of companies for in- spection. The non-commissioned staf? having been inspected in due form the Brigade Major proceeded to examine the condition of the arms and accoutre- ments of the men. Very many of the rifes were found corroded with rust and besmeared with oil. As, however, no private of the National Guard is held responsible for the condition of his piece the Major had to content himself with a mat anathema on the armorer of the regiment. But few of the men appeared to know how to bring their Tif_les to ‘inspection of arms," the majority execut- ing a military travestie on the Grecian bend before the reviewing ofticer. That fault, however, is not eee to the First Zouaves. During the inspection he men Who were uot standing to attention amused themselves with an es game of base ball and ran about the parade ground without restraint. When the inepection was completed the reviewing party returnea to head of the column and com- menced to muster the regiment. The ‘ate number on parade was 284. The muster completed, the battalion was again formed into line for review, General Liebenau thia time acting as reviewing officer. ‘The markers were neglected agatn in wheeling from line to march past in review and the cap- taina of the First, Second and Third companies forgot to salute. There were several other mistakes made, which, although not deserving of notice, ought not to be repeated. It should be remem- bered that this is about the at worst time of the year for an inspection of our National Guard regi. ments. The men have not been drilied since last om and are, to a certain extent, disorganized by tho loss of members whose time haa expired and by tho infusion into their ranks of new recruits, If the inspections were ordered to take place in the spring, at the conclusion of the drill season, it would be much better for the credit of the regiments, Cer. tainly the ranks would be fuller and the men would be better drilled! and disciplined. A large number of spectators were present during the inspection aud review, and a force of police un- der Captain Biouut kept the parade ground clear during the mancouvres.

Assuming that on the day of July Mrs. Gamble sixth of a gram of morphine, on July none, on the 24th and 25th of July none, on the 26th of July none, on the 27th of July ‘one-third ofa in of Zorphine aud one grain of opium, and on the 1st of August three-fourths of a in of opium, and assuming that she died about two o’clock on the morning of the 2d of mim tS and adding together these quantities, roate in all one- half a of morphine and one and three-fourhts grains of opium, which are equal to eight-tenths o ‘ain of wotpnine, extending over eleven days it is barely possible that the contents of the stomac! and smail intestites would afford reactions for acids; its morphine or morphia, but not at all probable, because it is so easily absorbed aud eliminated from the sys- tem; simply from a chemical standpoint I am led to believe that she died from the effects of opium or its compounds, I have already stated that the medi- cines_administered—that is, the opium, morphia and Dovers powders—having been given in the period of two months, no chemical tests would robably reveal their peed, had these alone n given, though it is barely possible. Cross-examination—I have only found sufficient morphia thus far to give reaction; I cannot give the quantity, because itis unweighable; I have found by estimate one-fiftieth, but not by weighing; I can- not testify positively, however, by the analysis thus ; Tcan only estimate; I have not found nD sumMcient to have caused death; I was about six weeks engaged in making the 3 if alcoholic stimulants were used by the patient. there would be less prospect of finding the morpliia: an ex- cessive use of spirituous liquors inflames. the digestive organs; the more one drinks the more these organs are impaired; opium is given from one totnrca gains at a time; @ person in intense suffering can take @n enoxmous quantity with safety; laudanum, from thirty to forty drops is sometimes given; this dose would be in extreme cases; of morphia from one- sixteenth of @ =v, to one-half a grain, depend- ing on the manner of its administration, or more, whether by the stomach or the skin; from one to three grains is the point at which it becomes poi- sonous; that is the lowest, although more can”be ad- ministered in some oases without fatal results; more has been given with favorable and good results in cases of 3 in opium age | hoes death it ing marked , affecting all the secretions of the body, the skin; it pro- duces profuse perspiration in many cases; 8 person is “bathed in sweat,’ as they term it; tendency to sleep and impairment of all the senses, such as that of touch, eronen vision, generally contraction of the pupils, though sometimes the pupil is dilate but rarely; the person is aroused with dil- ficulty, but may be made to respond to questions immediately after relapsing into stupor; congestion of the blood vessels, very marked; stertorous breathing, terminating with death; tae eyes are closed, the face sometimes pallid and sometimes the face is swoilen; the pulse in the early s' would be quicker, and later slower and slower; @ person who had taken suiticient opium to have caused death might be aroused wit an hour be- fore death by galvanism, horsewhipping, walking or riding ee eee I have known persons to be aroused; tt would depend on the smount of tne Polson and the sensibility of the person; extreme in- sensibility or stupor precedes not say what would be the rson thus affiicted within an hour of leath; the pulse is gradually reduced to zero under such circumstances; the number of res- pirations ae minute of a person under the influence of opium is from fourteen, the normal number, and it might be reduced down to five and three, and even requiring some minutes fora single reapira- tion; the muscular structure of the bladder is gener- ally contracted in such cases; the opium has made no marked appearance on the stomach or intestines; their condition would throw no light on the quea- ton whether death resulted from opium or not; by that I mean their appearance would not be discor- dant with the effects of opium as poison; a reddened condition of the stomach and intestines, as it realiy occurs, would rather contra-indicate that it (opium) had been the cause of death; the condition ordl- narily will be the same where death results from rg it cause; intestines are ordinarily rather empty; although there is no marked or very marked difference; there is no perceptible diference; the lungs and liver were ; the difference be- tween the I and liver Tost ‘om hunt wartof th lungs, whereas ii pendent e w ny the second condition it would be more uniformly diffused; both conditions existed in Mrs. Gambie; the hypostatical condition was more marked than the Sees the brain was so far decom. posed that the condition of its biood vessels could not be determined; the neck and part of the back gave indications of decom Hon from the color, softness and odor; cuticle | was removed from the forehead; the outer cuticle of the forehead had commenced to be decompored; the whole head waa in quite an advanced stage of de- composition; softening of the forehead, decomposi- tion of the whole head and face had commenced; I attributed ce off of the skin of the forehead ie Sanomnpess on, but the latter is produced more speedily in some cases by opiates. Wm. A. Hammond, late Surgeon General United States Army, followed Dr. Doremus, but merely elaborated his ideas. ~ OBITUARY. William F. Ritchie. ‘Tho death of William F, Ritchie, husband of Anna Cora Mowatt Ritchie, favorably known ai one time ‘As an actress and authoress of ability, is announced to have taken place at the residence of his brother- in-law, Dr. Stone, in Washington, on F riday last. ‘The canse of his death was disease of the heart. For many yeara prior to the breaking out of the South- ern rebellion Mr. Ritchie occupied the editorial chair of the Richmond Znguirer, and hig articles were noted for the clear, concise and vigorous style in which they were written. For # considerable iength of time he was regarded by the leading Southern democraté as a man of clear head and far-seeing in- tellect, and as @ consequence his views always car- ried with them considerable weight. He bad only a short time prior to his death returned from a Euro- pean tour, whither he had gone to recuperate his eoalth. F SENOUS CASUALTY AT CLAVERAGK, M. ¥. A serious accident occurred at Claverack on Saturday last. Six workmen, engaged on the new house of Professor Flack, of the Hudson River Inati- tute, were carrying @ heavy stone window sill to the second story when the soaffoling gave way, and all six, together with Pri it Fiack, fell some fif- teen feet. J. Carvey had hia leg broken, Thomas Silvernail had his left arm broken in two piaces, Daniel Boe injured internally, and tt is feared fatally. Charles Keller was injured in his bip. Patrick Dolan waa slightly injured. A German, namo unknown, was seriously injured about the head and back. Six workmen were ail injured, but Professor Flack REAL ESTATE MATTERS. Leading Features of the Market—The Dormt-. tories of New York—Preposed New Duild- ings. ‘The market for real estate is at present signalizea by an unusual activity, such 9 number of large sales @8 are at present in early prospect being without Precedence in previous years at this season, The interest exhibited on all sides, the inquiry prevall- ing and the generally firm feeling exhibited in oper- ations are all equally featares of the market now, a8 they were some months since, and the confident tone exhibited on all sides gives assurance of its continuance. In regarding the property recently brought under the hammer end that which is an- nounced to be similarly disposed of or otherwise brought into the market, the frat end striking observation 1s the great proportion of out of town real estate, in the immediate neighborhood of the city, that is now offered for sale. Some few city lots are up water bound area, and like a great river cl an ite flow to the sea by artificial to direct ite course at a certain fixed altitude, swollen ‘of due pro m to guides, it hag’ burat these boundaries and int the Snes country. The illustration given by King sig nd the future destiny of the men, although ently applied, one form of one pel re thot town, the we been pushing their way iz resident population before them, Foot by foot they usurped the ground once occu] by tenements and substituted for them marts of trade, until there was no longer room on the island for all who worked here to lay their heads. Then these moved to Brook- m, Westchester county and various portions of New ersey, communicating to these localities the fever of appreciation in the value of real estate which had driven them from here, The present activity, then, prevailing in the market for real property is no ephemeral excitement or merely speculative @nd sensational movement. The natural agencies of commercial progress and wth have been silently at work for years in bringing it about and in their continuance promise even ing results. New York city is but in the infancy of its development. Its future stretchesprilliantly and of easy anticipation before it to its recognition as the metropolis of America and the greatest commercial scapula of the world. All classes recognize this, and in the present movement, which is built up the surrounding suburbs, is exhibited but one of the many consequences which thia result will entatl. Anotier marked feature in the present condition of the market is the character of the sales. They are almost without exception addressed to those who de- sire to establish modest homes, and the repetition of one after another shows that this is but in response to an active and inguiry. Most men of small means living New York have suffered from the burden of ‘h rents, Whether their in- come was a stated one by way of salary or the fluc- ting revenue of a business perhaps but rere ai and permitting no withdrawal Chin nel it haw borne with equal hardship, depriving m of many littie elegancies and comforts with which they would wish to beautify and surround their homes for the gratification of @ refined taste or the better enjoyment of their lives, ‘The possibility of owning @ house in New York was entirely beyond their means, while a residence outalde of it at distance: Presented too dreary a prospect to be at all thought of, and thus from month to month and from year to year have they gone on fretting themselves at the chain of poverty which bound them to a wearisome round of daily duties, unenlivened by any gleams of lew York are springing u) le elegant faubourgs, where the clerk, the mechanic or the y man of business can invest his spare in- come in ishing @ com‘ortable home for his wife and family, where he will be surrounded by neigh- bors of the same walk in life as himself and of sym- pathetic tast united by &@ common interest in the frat and cultivation of the settlement, and so en- 0) drivin; yy @ happiness he has never before known.

The Madison Park Land Improvement Company, owning @ large ® valuabie tract near Paterson, N. J., yesterday sold a considerable number of lots at anction. A large crowd of bidders were present, but owing to the unprecedented figures reached the number of bnyers was comparatively small, The site is one of the most beautiful near ron, just outside of the city limits and very desirable for residences, and many New Yorkers were there with an evident eye to purchase who were disappointed in the prices tie jlots brought Unlike the previous much abused custom of uniimit- ed refreshmeéats, nothing of the kind was allowed on tie ground, and accordingly good order prevailed in proportion with the absence of “Jersey lightning.’ Mr. J, H. Hindle, of Paterson, wos the auctioneer and rattled of the supreme ad- vantages of the property in a very masterly style, and initiated the custom of charging no “auctioneer’s fees’ to purchasers, ‘Che lots were sold in plots of four lots each, running through from one street to another, that pn being decidedly the most accepta- ble to those who propose to build. ‘The following Were the sales yesterday, indicating locality, buyer and price paid por lot.
