The prisoner ‘was remanded for sentence, Bergen City. Tae NEW Poice Bru.—At the meeting of the Common’Counci of Bergen City on Monday evening resolutions were aaopted unanimously against the passage of the bill recently mtroduced into the Lec- islature to create a police commission and‘declaring that such a measure is not only unnecessary, but it entails 4 large increase of taxation without any compensating benefit. The City Clerk was instructed | to forward a copy of'the resolutions to the repre- sentatives from Hudson county in Trenton, urging them to resist the passage of the bill, It was fur- ther declared that this attempt to take away the controlof the police @epartment from the municipal body by unknown, butevidently interested parties, merits the severest condenmation of the Board. Hoboken. BURGLARY.—The residence of Mr. Willtams, at the corner of Willow and Ninth streets, was entered at anearly hour yesterday morning by thieves, who carried of two overcoats and two jackets, En- trance was effected through a basement window. Attempts had evidently been made to force the door, but the meranders abandoned the attempt, probably through fear of awakening the inmates. Newark, Boarp ov Trapy.—A special meeting was held on Monday evening, when Messrs. William M. Force, E. L, Jay and William Shove were appointed a commit- tee to be present at the dedication of the Philadelphia Chamber of Commerce, as per invitation. A resolu- tion was passed urging New Jersey's Congressional representatives to advocate and sustain any bill looking to the prevention of secret sales of govern- ment goid and bonds. ‘THe Lavrov TrrAL.—The trial of Thomas Lafou, Jr, was proceeded with yesierday in the Essex county Oyer and Terminer, before a fall bench. The court room was agein densely crowded, and the number of ladies, evidently of the first society, was still greater than on the preceding day. The progress of the trial seems to increase rather than diminish the interest manifested in the case. At ten o’ciock the examination of witnesses for the prosecution was resumed. After the testimony of several unimportant witnesses had been taken Joseph Lafou, the younger brother of the priggner, was placed on the stand. “atter tdentifving theiShovel which caused the fatal wound he was cross- examined by Cortlandt Parker, counsel for the de- fence, and stated, among other things, that he worked shovelling off the snow for about five mumutes after Hebring was hart. Counsel then stated that he had no farther desire to question witness and wished him to be turned over fully to the pro- secutor. This Jed to @ slight discussion between counsel, which ended in Judge Depne’s ruling that the prosecutor had a right to act as to him seemed best in the matter. An effort had been made to create an idea that young Lafou had been seriously injured in the affray, but accord- ing to his own testimony he was able to be about, and snffered nothing whatever. Several other wit- nesses were examined, and at half-past cleven o’cloct the testimony for the State rested. ‘The de- fence was then opened by Cortlandt Parker. He addressed the court and briefly referred to the tragic affair, which deprived one family of a bright, promising boy and threw another into a deep state of sorrow through the melancholy bat accidental act of one of ita youthfal members. In doing as he did the prisoner only obeyed the dictates of nature in rushing to the assistance of a younger brother. and by the merest accident admin- istered the fatai blow. The examination of Joseph Lafou, Mrs. Emily Hornblower and irs, Ruth Lafou. mother of the prisoner, was then proceeded with. The boy merely repeated what occurred was being held between tender and baggage car by Bouton, when the stick ssipeins. threw him between the cara, by which he was instantly crushed todeath. A verdict in accordance with the above facts was rendered, the jury also finding “the Hud- son River Railroad Company censurable for allowing the use of a shoving-atlek—it being a dangerous ap- Pilanee, even in the hands of the most careful persons.’? Deceased was about forty years of age. ALLEGED ASSAULT with INTENT T0 KILL.—John Cronin and Morris Cahill, tough specimens of the genus homo, were arraigned before Justice Dono- hne, at Yonkers last Monday, on the complaint of Patrick MoGurey, who charged them with having attempted to take his life on the Saturday pre- vious, and appeared in court exhibiting numerous shocking cuts and bruises, For the prosecutt®& ex- ofticer Spencer testified that while near the village, on the Saw Mili River road, during the evening of Saturday, he saw Cronin kick and beat the com- psiane im @ savage manner, and afterwards drag im to @ pond, into which he threw him, and then endeavored to hold his head under the water, while Cahill, who was in the party, offered no Interference, ‘The Jastice, on hearing the evidence, held Cahill to bat! in the sum of $600 for his future appearance, while Cronin was committed to answer a charge of assault with intent to kill. 4 LONG ISLAND. Thenway Rospery.—A night or two ago a Wt!- lett’s Point soldier came to Hunter's Point to visit some friends, and on his way to the Flushing train visited several rumshops and imbibed a large quan- tity of ‘fase) oil.” On leaving one of these shops, on Seventh street, he was followed by three rumMans, who garroted and robbed him of twenty dollars and some valuable papers, STATEN ISLAND. ‘The LABORERS’ BRNEVOLENP UNION oF EDGE- WATER at its last meeting unanimously resolved that none of its members should, after the first day of April next, work for less than $2 50 perdiem. No- tice of this determination is being very extensively circulated and published by the Union. The present rate of wages for laborers is $1.74. -{t is anticipated that the employers will readily agree to pay the in- crease demanded. THE SEASON OF LENT. To-day begins the season of fasting and praying ordathed to commemorate the forty days’ fast of our Saviour in the wilderness. The Church lays aside its emblems of grandeur and glorification, and, robed in the habiliments of sorrow, accompanies its divine Founder in spirit, sympathizes with Him in His humiliation and tribulation and shows by all exterior means the mental anguish which is felt for the sufferings borne by and the disgraces inflicted on the Son of God. At present appearances would Indicate that ths year the observance of this holy season in the me- tropolis will be more generat and more genuine than it has been in years past, Almost ail the churches have completed the neceasary preparations, and the congregations have given evidences of taking part tn the ceremonies and celebrations with commenda- bie earnestness. The first day of Lent, as all know, is styled ASH WEDNESDAY. ‘This day is called by the Church Capul Jefunti (the beginning of the fast), and 1 derives the name Ash Wednesday from the custom of sprinkling the hair and garments with ashes asa symboi of grief for the sorrows of our Saviour, and also as a method of performing penance for the transgressions of the past year. The custom of sprinkling ihe ashes on the garments is not now, observed, but 1t commemo- rated by making @ cross on the forehead with ashes blessed by the priest at the mass of the day. The ashes used are obtained by burning the particles of altar linen, blessed wood or other furniture of the church which has been damaged or broken during the year, and the portions of blessed palm remainin; since the previous Paim Sunday, The ceremony 0: distributing the ashes is performed by the officiating clergyman. The faithful approach the altar ratis, and, men turned — around as he was running and Gischarged six shots at the officer. In doing this the thief lost ground, and as the officer did not slacken his pace, facing the fire seemingly regardless of his life, he was soon upon the heels of the fugitive. When reaching the corner of Park and Throop avenues the officer came upon him and took him into custody, but his companions succeeded in making good their escape. All the officer found in saeseion of his prisoner was a screw driver, but in going over the ground of the chase bop geo up the revolver. On looking into the yard of Mr. Davis’ honse a loaded ciub, @ pistol, dark iautera, false face and a canister of powder were found. When the prisoner was taken to the station house he gave his name as John Montgomery. He was held to await trial, Thomas Callow, a young man twenty years of age. ‘Was arrested by officer Leyton, of the Forty-third precinct, yesterday, on a charge of having cor tted @ burgiary one night ia October last at the shoe store of J, L. Whitehouse, No. 176 Atlantic street. On the night of the burglary a pane of glass valued at $200 was broken in the show wmdow and about $100 worth of shoes stolen, Callow was locked up to await trial. THB POSTAL TELEGRAPH, Why the Govermment Shozid Control the 3 Telegraph {Prota th li A New York jo ays at times blend agri polities with paosning aie, (ramphantiy asks:—‘“if the government is to go into the business of sendingsteiegrais, why not into the business of raising potatoes # This may be to minds of @ certain type an unanswerable and conclusive argu- ment, but to others it is no argument at all. If the government can raise potatoes for twenty-five cents a bushel or less, by all means, fay, let it do so, end let the poor of all the country be fed. No farmer can at present produce potatces under seventy-five cents a bushel, and if the govera- inent by any means can raise thei at one-third of that cost it oughtso todo. That is plain. Now, this 18 precisely what the postal telezraph reform proposes to accomplish. It is a proposition to furnish to all the people telegraphing at one-third the present prices or lose. As it noW stands one huge company con- trols all the lines of the land, and we have the _com- mon resul monopoly—exorbitant rates. Every man Can raise his own potatoes if he wanta to, but every man cannot be his own telegrapher; and now, to defend th selves, the people in their collective capacity, through theft the government, un- dertake to run their own it isa simple’ cake of remeiying a wrong in @ iegal and constitational manner. {From the Syracuse Journi Fe 4) One of the arguments brough the transfer of the telegraph to the postal dept mt is that it il be made subservient to the pa in power, and thay It will be used at the same time to pro: pay ends and purposes. This point is urged ittle force, but perhaps has asiight weight with se Who are not Whoily posted on the pros and cons ne question. We must beg (o differ with any and all othusargue, We ere taciined to the belief that the i telegraph is what the country needs, and it wil be no more subservient to the party in power then than are the machinery and person. nel of the army and navy at present, and, more nis, noting Ike to the extent the Post, now is. Let the telegraph be given to the department to which it i# proposed to give it, avd ékilied electricians and operators will get Detter pay than now, and, we are inclined to believe (with some force of trath, we think), Would be allowed to enjoy their political rights Without molestation from either party. Should any of them neglect their duties as telegraph operators and meddle with politics to make it their business, then their services would be immediately dispensed ‘With, ‘This is the remedy which lies in tite power of the department whenever its rules are infringed or its policy perverted. There 1s ne dangc., then, that the telegraph would be prostituted to party ends, and become the instrument in the hands of the bal- ance of power to promote its seifish ends. The tele- graph would be national, not pardsan, general, not exclusive. More than this, the postal telegraph would make the use of this medium, so essential to the nation, much more general, jand where only hundreds of our popalation new enjoy it, thousands would reap its advantages. There are thousands of towns, too, Which are not reached at present by the tolegraph 1 but where there are post o1 which, were they only under the Post Office management, would be auppiied with a means of communication equally ‘with (he larger cities. This, we can but unk ts, an argument strongly im favor of the transfer. {From the Norfoik Journal, Feb, 8.) We earnestly hope that the government wil take the telegraph in band and consiruct lines for the benefit of the people, They can be worked in con- junction with the Post Oifice, and the expenses would be thus less than those of any private com- panics. The people are tired of paying triple prices compared with what they would have to pay were the telegraph ander the direction of the gov- ernment. Such are the enormons charges now demanded for transmitting even ten words that none but the rich can afford to messages. the telegraph were in the hands of the government 1% would be required to pay only its own expenses, and consequently the charges would be at once re- duced toa mimuium. As the charges become reduced the number of mesaages will Increase, and so the minimoam of one will be again reduced next, and 80 On, till all Business transactions between dis- tant pointe will be carried on by the tele graph, as ie now the case in many European countries, in which the people are not forced to suppore private corpora- tions.

SITROVE TUESDAY, which, not being a holiday of obligation, has, amid the cares of business, becn so much neglected as to be comparatively forgotten. Yesterday this festival was celebrated in a quiet way in the Catholic churches, but no public display was made to remind the Christian of the fact that the day was one which, saw nothing of the fracas; saw Joseph Lafou; his face appeared flushed as though he had been struck. Mrs. Lafou related how she had attended to the de- ceased after he had been brought into her house; her son Joseph was fifteen and Thomas twenty years of age; the latter nad been residing in Obiv for some eighteen months previously. A number of prominent: gentlemen, including several physicians and clergy- men, were ALY on the stand, and uniformly spoke favorably of the character of the prisoner previous to the occurrence, The case on both sides was then declared closed, and the court adjourned shortly before three o'clock.

CHAPTER HL—CONTINUED, A HOPELESS DEATHBED, She gathered cot to untie the arched lid that Was securely fastened down, and nestled tn warm blankets was a fair, plump child of about two years ofage. ‘The blue eyes unclosed as the foids of nannel that enveloped it were turned back, but tiley dropped to again as if unable to wrestle with the narcotle with which it had evidently been dr Mrs. Ashford was jonately fond of and she lifted the little waif tenderly in her arms and examined it with gentle care. The ¢l it wore was perfectly plain, though of fine material and dainty made, On its bosom was pinned a scrap of paper, on which was scrawled in nearly il- legible letters:— “Her Vices on Eg as you deal with ne? may God reward or ax you.’” During this time tasia was one and clap- ping her hands, uttering shrill cries of the newly found treasure:— “A baby’s better’n 3 puppy, Chub., an’ I’m goin’ to have it to play with; oh, my! ain’t it nice?” At that moment Mr. Ashford came into the kitchen and vict aly nares out:— “What's all this clamor abont, and the breaktast burning to acinder? Tsmell it now; it won't be fit tora big to eat. What's that yon’ve got there, and where did it come from ?” His wife held the sleeping child towards him, and a, “You can see for yourself what it is, but it is a strange present to be sent to us. If you will take her a moment Pil look after the birds. 1am afraid they are scorching a little.” “Cpon my word, madam, you take this very cooly—it’s the most unheard of impudence in who- ever sent this brat here, and I am not going to be burdened with it, 1 can assure you. Put her back where she came from and look after your proper business, When breakfast is over I'll see that the basket and its contents are packed off to the poor- Mrs. Ashford knew there was no appeal from this decision, but she timidly suggested. “ “ay be there 1s something in the basket that may make you change your mind, Had’nt you better jook through it? The little thing looks as if she belongs to re- spectable people—that is, | mean pe weil to do, aud she'd hardly be put on us without giving some- thing to keep her on. Everybody around knows that we ate too poor to burden ourselves with a strange chtid with nothing to pay her way.” She knew that to appeal to her husband’s cupidity was the only chance to interést him in the helpless little creature, and he proved that she understood sr nature by drawing hearer and swoping over the basket. “There's some sense in what you say, and I'll look; but if there’s nothing, f shat do as T said—send the brat-to*the poorhouse. It’s lucky that it is only a jew miles distant.” As he spoke he dived among the blankets in which the child had lam, and brought out a letter ad- dressed to himself. On breaking the seal his eyes sparkled at the sight of a bank note for a hundred dollars, and he rapidly skimmed over the lines ad- dressed to himself, as follows:— Tam well acquainted with your character, Hiram Ashford, and I know the child I have taken the iberty of giving to you would be thrust ignominiously from your roof if she alone were sent, ‘To prevent tia, I enclose cient sum for ber expenses for a year.

By the time breakfast was over Mr. Whitney, the lawyer, arrived and proceeded at once to draw Mr, Falconer’s will. The old man left all he had to Mrs. Ashford, and ordered Whitney to settle 1t on himself and Clement Melrose, as Mrs. Ashford’s trustees, so that Ashford could in no wise interfere with the money nor wheedle her out of it. The lawyer knew Ashford well, and drew the will so that the yy) tical tyrant could never interfere with his wife’s legacy. The will being completed, the old man died at the hour of noon, as he had firmly believed he would do. CHAPTER Iv. THE NEWLY ARRIVED FOUNDLING. Mr. Whitney seemed agitated about the newly arrived foundling and Ashford, suspecting that he knew more of the matter than he cared to confess, secretly determined to fathom the mystery. When Mr, Whitney left_ the Vale he drove around vena i = neg and bens what inspired, Melrose accept the trust reposed ta kim, and really catnoyeceee all claim to his dead kinsman’s meacre estate. He and ais wife were greatly interested in the story about the baby founding, and strove im vain to conjecture soine clue to the mysvery, When the lawyer reached home his first statement to his wife (who had been a pupil of Mrs. Ashrord’s in her school girl days) was that little Violet bad found a home with Mrs. Ashford, and that Mr. Fal- couner had left his property to her, soshe would be ees att iy ih a oe 3 news rs. with joy, and she immediately sent a Jot her a, Sneed ee aoe the sirange woman, man room, as Mrs. Whitney left the parlor by one door, another on the opposite side of the room unclosed, and a mid- die-aged, thick-set woman, in a dark travelling dress, entered. Her black hair was thickly streaked with gray, ahd the face tt framed was that of an honest, affectionate woman, who tried to do what she thought right, even in her present difficult and painful posi- lon. When she saw Mr. Whitney she came rapidly for- ward, and, in agitated tones, asked :— “On, sir, What have you to tell mey What has been the fale of my darling? She did_not snffer from tie exposure; those people did not refuse to take her m when the weather is so dreadful. I’ve been asleep, I believe, but I didn’t know J could sleep with such a care resting on my mind as the fate of the child [ nursed and loved as my own. “Violet has found an asylum in the house you Wished her to become an inmate of, Mra.

That the mother of Violet died when the child was @ mere babe, and left her to the careofheraynt, Thatthe grandfather of Violet, who was rich, had left his property so that Violet would inherit it all, in case her aunt should die without chil- dren of her own, That the aunt's husband, who was @ heartless camester, and whose wife lad no chil- dren, wanted to have Violet poisoned, so that her fortune could come into his ehutehes, but finally com: promised with his wife, over whom he held a secret power, and agreed that @man named Higgs, who was going to Oreg hould carry the ebild off and rear her as bis own. Bue the aunt had plotted with Mrs, irene os Spores her ee mere Soe hence the uf the nurse with Violet, and her appearance with her at Mr. Whitney’s, She had come to have Violet left in charge of old Mr. Falconer, to whom she was related through her grandmother, and had been assisted on her way by a priest in New York named Father Boyle, who sent her to another priest vie near the Vale, called Father John, and he had sent her to Mr. Whitney's, Raving told her story aid refused to give the name of Violet's aunt or uncle, Mrs. Brent was taken to the turnpike gate where the stagecoaeh passed, put into it and sent on her way home, leaving word with Mr. Whitney that he could at any time com. municate with her by sending a letter to the care of Father Jerome Boyle, in New York, ‘The next day Mr. Falconer’s funeral took after which the will was read, and Mrs, Ashford Jearned that she had been made the old man’s heir- ess. The avaricious Ashford was greatly displeased when he found that the property had been settied on Mr. Whitney and Mr. Meirose as trustees for his wile, but he did his best to bide his chagrin under an air of sanctimoniousneas, Ashford had fully resolved'to abandon his wife and child at an early day, but accidentally discovering that Fantasia had great dramatic talent, and might be Serene into an actress of unusual merit, he re- -solved to train her for the stage, and so delayed his pane of desertion. In the meantime he resolved to out the parentage of Violet, as he feit assured, as he said, that he “conld make money on her if he only knew who she was”? With a view to feeling his way in the matter he one day, on seeing his wife looking over some arti- cles of children’s clothing which she had purchased, carelessly asked:— “Did not Violet need anything? These few arti- cles are for Fantasia, I suppose.” lace, “t found @ suilicient supply of clothmg for Vio- let,” replied ors. Ashfo. “im the bottom of the basket In which she was placed. They are of flue quality and beautifully made.” “Indeed! and is there no name to be found on any of them? Have you examined them carefully?” “Yes, very carefully; for I had to mend nearly every garment where the name had been removed by using an acid, which destroyed the fabric.” “Uraph! was there no trace of a letter left on one of them? ae & momentary hesitation Mrs. Ashford re- Pp “Violet could be distinguished on some of them, but only on one piece was there a trace of the lust name, I could not quite make out whether that was an Roran 8. You wiil discover nothing from such a source as that.’” “Ah! weil, that is something; and putting frag- ment after fragment together may bring me cer- tainty some of these days.

He Knows who the child is, and I will know too—on that Lam determined.” Mr. Ashford lost io time in prosecuting’ his search, and having “worked up his case” with the skin of a detective he prepared to make hts attack on Mr. Whitney.
