The Extra Term—Charge to the Grand Jury— Judge Cardoze Looking After the Pearsall- © Connor Contempt Case Again—He Recom- mends ap Indictment Against the Fugitive Mother. Before Juage Cardozo. ‘Yesterday morning the extra term of the Court of OyePana Terminer, called by Governor Hoffman, was opened with the usual formalities, Mr. Vande- voort, the Clerk, reading the proclamation which calied tt before the opening of the court. The number of grand jurors attending wae un- ‘usually large. Out of thirty-six summoned thirty anewered. Seven ultimately withdrew, leaving the Grand Jury as follows:—Foreman, Joseph J. ©’Donohue; jurors, Hector Armstrong, Eli- jah T Brown, Hamilton Bruce, Daniel Bost- wick, William ‘Burns, Francis M.

Staff, Jr., Frank Squire, Jeremiah N. Tappen, Peter Trainor, Charlies W. Van Saup, Benjamin J. Wenberg, Montague Ward. Jnadge Cardozo then delivered the following charge to the Grand Jary:— GENTLEMEN OF THR GRAND JuRY—I understand that your labors will be quite light, this extra term being calied rather to dispose of accumulated busi- nest than to prepare new. I shail not detain you by referring to matters familiar to you, except, pursu- aut to iaw, to charge you to ingutre as to offences upon the following sul t8, VizZ., Violations of the Jaw against lotteries, of the statute as to usury, of the taking of tilegal fees by ng oMcers, of iufractions of the Election jaws, of crimes under the act to suppress intemperance, of frauds in the sale of. tickets upon steamboats and other vessels, and of obscene publications. | Murt also remind you that it is a misdemeanor to dixcloge to any one xcept the Court or the District Attorney that an tndictment for felon: been found until the accused has been actaally sted.

Joanna Con- nor and Mrs. Julia MoGraw, otherwise called O'Connor, with an tpfant ward of the Court, What | am about to say 10 you, gentlemen, | utter solely iv the discharge of duty which rests vpon ine, and which I may not rightfully disregard. Personally I nave no feeling in the matter, except that of sincere sym, with the unfortunate and Moilsguided woman, with whom or whose relatives, or husband or his rejatives, | never had the slightest acquaintance, until the case in respect to the custody of the child introduced them to my judi- cial notice solely, and* put that I know that the fupremacy of the law should be vindicated for the tection Of al) classes Of the community. So great my commiseration for the unhappy mother who, std thi iil advice, has exiled herself from his State fled from @ court overflowing with kina pathy for her wretchedness, and whose only ‘was to secure to her, it properly could in any rN be done, the retention of the cas- tody of her child, I should prefer to withdraw the subject from your consideration. But as this may pot be without violating my oath of office, let me briefly relate the matter to you. Mrs, JMia McGraw a divorce from her husband, for his adut- had one child, a little girl, now about five Mrs. McGraw was married when she as but se’ years of Bt she i@ now about three. decree of divorce awarded ti to the mother; some time aftel virtuous course of ‘ife pursued before and during her mar- probably, that t error ve her of the society of her daughter, she an of the Court appointing her mother Joanne », the guardian of thechild, ‘This nominal change of guardianship, for the NEW Y¥Y her into the course ef depravity on which sie bad eniered, we that, therefore, she wae cntitied to much sympathy, and that her lot should de eat tened fy far as possib.e. My office imposed upor me th duty to protect the child, but also to ae to save i young mother, who I beHeved had not become ut- lerty jost to shame, | bay g od to accomplieh both of these purposes, My heart ached for mother in her wretchedness, and ied me to commit an error against the cbild, and my conscience will not be sau wut 1 have Thiel all means to rignt the the little on! ich T unintentton- ally commit ‘on the argument. | disposed of the claim of the husband, announce! it under 0 Cite guunstapaye wrguia I give the ther or to any in his in , and that, while 1 would not suffer itto remi under the influences that surrounded it, J should consult the mother’s wishes as far as Lcould prem wisn the ehild’s in- terests. In answer to my inquiry it was stated that the father was indifferent on the subject of religion and that the mother was born im the Catholic faith. Thereupon | stated that unless the sug- gestions 1 should make were complied with I should piace the child in @ Catholic imsti- tution, and J believe that it ts i perfectly well known that it was always my intention if the mother were obdurate in her sin to intras: the one to the guardianship of that most excellent instutu- tion, the Sisters, which are iy friends—the House of the Good Shepherd, of this city. At the close of the argument 1 stated to the mother that I had great sympathy for her, but that a ep apne oblige me to deprive her of her clnid un! would promise totry to reform. Her testimony has been so truth- ful, even when 1t bore against herself, that I feit I would be justified tn relying on her promise, and my heart was so touched by her distress at the idea of parting from her child that I determined to concede to ner all that 1 could without absolutely violating my gear id She said that she only hesitated to fe the promisesbecause she feared circumstances, which sue mentioned, and it is not for me to expose, might prevent ber kee] ing it. offered such argn- ments against the diMicuities she suggested as I thought proper, and then adjourned the case to the pans Monday afternoon to enable her to con- sider the matter, and directing that the child should be then produced, Early on Monday morning, by her senior counsel, Mrs. MoGraw had inf hum that she had determined to comply with my advice, and that she would strenuously endeavor to reform, and | felicitated myself that by a mild and gentle course in the performance of my oficial duty to- wards an errmg woman the best results would pro- bably ensue, and one who seemed every way auali- tied to adorn respectable society likely to be restored to its cirele. Both the counsel and I were deceived. it was a inisfortune, but not our fault. ‘rhe mother and the guardian failed to attend on Monday afternoon, and, thinking that possibly some mistake had oceurred as to the time, I adjourned the proceedings to the next day, when it transpired that they had taken the child and fled from out the Jurisdiction of the court. I do not mean to comment, entlemen; I merely give you the narrative. “This act of the guardian and the mother was a bigh ms- demeanor, and one which strikes at the very foun- dation of the aduunistration of law and the preser- vation of order. lf the mandates of the court can thus be successfully evaded none—in whatever sphere of life, so that allare equally interested—can hope to be secured either in their persons or their property, It is for you, gentlemen, to in- quire into the matter and indict the fagi- tives Of this demeanor, so that whenever they can be subjected to the jurisdiction of the court the law may be vindicated —not vindictively. It 1s Not necessary that either of tnerh shouid be harsbiy treated. It 18 only necessary that they should sub- mit to the law, and then the law raay wisely «nd safeiy be mercifully administered to them. | have not hesitated to say that from the moment that their flight was known (and that 1s still my opinion) that where they are brought within our jurisdiction, not- withstanding the great foliy they have cominirte i, the law will be sumMiciently vindicated by constituting the admirable instuvution | have mentioned the guur- dian of the child, and that 1 certainly would, ip ten- der consideration for the erring and ill-advised young mother, use my imfluence with my frieads conducting that institution to induce them to allow her to be the companiom of ber child to whatever extent she pleased; and very possibly through a lite association with them their excellence and kindness would soon win her back to ways which would speedily entitie her to regain the guar- dianship of the child, Ihave refrained from saying anything in to the sisters of the hapless mother, because whatever faults they may have coim- wiitted, and however unwisely through injudicious- jay have acted—protracting their ini- prigsonment when a right, simple and proper course part conla easily and speedily have relieved them—they have submitted to the law, which ts ail that has ever been required of any of them, and guided by wiser and better influences than seem to have directed and controlied them at one time. I Jearn that they are pursuing such @ course as ren- ders it alike unnecessary and improper now to wound their feelings by harsh remarks as to the past. You can now retire, gentlemen, and the Dis- trict Attorney will lay proper evidence bejore you. ‘Tue court then adjourned til to-morrow. SUPREME COURT—CHAMBERS, Important to the Natiena! Guard. Before Judge Ingraham, Artenus B, Jounson vs, Colonel Emmnos Clark, Commanding Me Seventh Regiment.—This case, which has excited considerable discussion among the National Guard, came up lion to render permanent a made by Judge Clerke restraining Coionel Clark from approving of te expulsion of the plainuit by the Fourth company ot the Seventh regiment for absence from drill, Mr, George W. wna appeared for the motion and argued that the plaintiff having been transferred into the Fifth company before tne ex- pusion, and having since remained therem, could not be expelled by the Fourth; that the expuision was void, not being im accordance with the company by laws; that it having been disapprovea of vy Colonel Clark and Adjutant General Marvin it pecame ves adjudicata, and that the new Adjutant General, Whatever power he might have to paraon or mitigate any punishwent imposed by his prede- cessor, had no power to review or question an exer- cise of judicial discretion on his rt, and conse- quenily could not m any way revive the senteuce after if nad been once disapproved of. He also con- tended tiat the power of a company to expel for ab- sence from duty had been taken away by the receut amendments to the Militia law and by general orders from Albany, the penalty now being not expulsion but retention after expiration of enlistment; that the penalty imposed by law being a fine no company had arghito add any further punishment to it, and bnaily, that membership In the National Guard Was a “franchise” and the courts had a right to enjoin any attempt to take it away. Mr. John Fowler, Jr., appeared for the defendant, and argued that ihe plaintiff had not been regu- larly transferred at the time of the expuision, and that the same was in strict accordance with the by- lawa of the company; that the di al of the defendant had been only conditional d upon certain orders from headqvarters; and tbat upon their abrogation he was free to approve of the com- pany action; that the whole affair was one entirely of military discretion, and that the courts had no Jurisdiction to intervene in the matter. The Court stated that the questions were novel and the law doubtful; th: expulsion having ween for offences committed prior to any alleged transfer it was questionable whether the right to ays them by expulsion did not still continue. That he would, therefore, deny the motion, stayi however, all proceedings by the defendant, so as to enable the plaintiff to appeal to the General Term without prejudice to his rights. George W. Wingate for motion; John Fowler, Jr., opposed, to-day upon an applica- preliminary injunction COURT OF GENERAL SESSIONS. General Butler in Court. Beford Judge Bedford. Shortly after the opening of the court General B. F.

THe EXCIsE LaW IN TOR SEVENTERNTH WARD.— Officer Wilson, Of the Seventeeuti precinct, yester- day made a@ charge before Justice Mansfeld, at Es- sex Market Police Court, of violating the Excise law against an Irishman named Peter Gilroy, who keeps a lager beer saloon m Twelfth street, near Firet avenue. The oMcer staved that Gilroy had been gelling intoxicating beverages without pay- ing license. Justice Mansheid reminded the officer that a great maby persons were in the havit of sell. ing liquor without a license and keeping their sa- loons open in the Seventeenth ward. He had often been surprised to see the number of plac open, and he had determined not to countenan anything like persecuuop. The man Gilroy was an __trishman, and whatever was @ man’s nationality he would protect him. He believed that Gilroy’s arrest was nothing but a plece of persecution, and it was his duty to protect any one persecuted. Officers were very anxious to arreat people nowadays. When he considered there was & eo7¥ endeavor to enforce the provi- sions of the Excise law the matter would be different; but in this case there was evidently so much animus that he should dismiss the charge. Policemen had better turn their attention to the cap- ture of burglars and thieves than carry on a system of persecution agaist men who were carrying on « | legitimate business, Gilroy was, therefore, dis- charged, THE DEATH OF M3.

With a singte exception—that of a seaman—all the patients on board the Saratoga are doing wel! and are believed tobe on the highway to a apeedy recovery. No new cases have broken out either on the Saratoga or the Frolic, to which those who had not been infected with the disease while on the Saratoga were removed a short ume after their arrival at this port. The quar antine authorities do not state exactly when the well persons will be allowed to leave tho Frolic, although why they should be confined to the old hulk just be- cause they happened to belong to an infected vessel having never been infected with the fever them- seives, 18 a rather ticklish sanitary speeion which only the doctors can decide. It may that there would have been a certain amount of danger to the health of the city had the well persons immediately upon their arrival been to leave the Sara- toga and scatter themselves at will about town.

COLLISION ON THE SOUND. An English Bark and the Steamer Bristol Colliding—Sinking ef the Bark, but Rescue of Her Crew. Shortly after three o’clock yesterday morning, as the steamer Bristol, of the Brisiol line of steamers, ‘was abont eight miles east of the Stratford lightship, there being a dense fog atthe time, she collided with the British bark George 8. Brown, strikipg her amid- ehips, ‘The bark sank in ten minutes, but al! the crew were rescued, The following are the detailed ‘particnlars;— As above stated, there was a dense fog on the Sound at the time of the coliision. The bark was standing to the southward and the wind east- northeast. The course of the steamer was west half south, Upon the steamer ali the Jights usually displayed were uv, a8 also on the bens but these were of little av: owing to the density of the fog, At this time the steamer was blowing her whistle tnree and four times a minute, but the sailing vessel was neglectfal in giving alarm, she having blown her horn but once, ten min- utes previous to the catastrophe. In the pilot house of the steamer were Captain Brayton and the two pilots. ‘The bark when first seen, was ubont a length of the steamer mye The signal was at once. given to reverse the steamer's engine, which was done, but too late to prevent the acc! . ‘The imamense how of the monster steamer struck the bark amidships, on her port side, Of course intense excitement followed the collision. Screams were heard on board the sailing vessel, and the natural ee was that tne collision coula not be than attended with fatal results. The jar of the collision awakened nearly all the passen; on the steamer, causing no small amount of conster- nation, particularly among the ladies. Captain 4 ton at once took measures to rescue the crew of the bark, aud it was well he did #0, for in avery few mo- ments she rolled over on her side and sank. On the hark were twelve men and the captain’s wife, allof whom were rescued, together with nearly all their personal effects, The bark G pad Brown was au English vessel and owned at Yarmouth, Nova Scotia, She was built six years ago and was 550 tons.

Dying Declaration of the Murdered Man—The Murdercs Ordered to be Tried by a Military Commission—Origin of the Tragedy—A Bit of War and Ante-War History—A Pet of Jeff Davis the Murderer of Kelly~Deunis Calinhan, RicnMoND, June 26, 1869. Second only to the excitement and feeling pro- duced by the Pollard assassination in this city last November ts that now occasioned by the delinerate and cold-blooded murder of James Keily, fall par- Uculars of which were published in the HERALD yesterday. Captain Dennis Cailahan, of the police, his murderer, was one of Kelly’s most inveterate ana determined enemies, and rumor goes far enough to say that he haa sworn to do the terrible deed per- petrated on Thursday evening. Kelly, it wili be vemembered, while acting in the capacity of a conservative challenger at the Registra- tion Board held in the Mayor's court room became involved in a discussion relative to the arrest of another white man, and Callahan, seizing upon this as a pretext, ordered him to be at once arrested. He was caught hold of by four policemen, whom he violently resisted, and while held fast ‘pon the ground by three of them, was shot through the abdomen Callahan, and afterwards through the shoulder. Kelly then obtained a pisto! and re- turned the fire, wounding a policeman. The mur- der was cold, caicuiated and deliberate in the most atrocious degree; and because the victim did pot instantly die, his murderet was allowed to go at large, bailed to appear in the nominal sum of . Keily was taken to the house of a friend, m whence, alter suffering the most intense oy, he was removed to his room in the St. Charles Hote! yesterday evening. Here he became worse each moment, and towards early morning the retching and passing of blood became so frequent, and his flesh becoming coid and clammy, a t was sent for to adi iter him the last rites of the Cath- olic Church. Throughout these trymg moments the deceased maimtained his com) » and spoke freely and almost cheerfully to a few friends who were adinitted to his room. He related many cir- cumstances of a trivial nature, and but that the film of death was seen gradually stealing Kn his eyes, vesalting from the mortiticauion his wound through the stomach, few would believe he was about to “roll off his last mortal coil.” At two P. » hia friends, seeing that there was no hope, promptly sent for a notary public, to whom, when he arrived, Kelly made the foilowing dying deciara- tion, to which he also subscribed:— ‘The dying declaration of Joseph Belly, take bef e ec! o ntaken before me, James im tomy at twenty. mishies to twelve o’cluck, om the Swena tron’ the” Holy ‘eanniliel of aiasigere thou te the: iy Ev y God, tn the resence of William F.

This morning the announcement of his death cre- great excitement, and a4 soon as it appeared he bulletins at the newspaper offices crowds the sad news, Which appeared to cast a gloom over a large portion. All day the tragic occurrence was the subject of conversation, and the feeling against the murderer seemed to be strong and indignant, About nine A. M. the murderer was reat aad confined by order of the Mayor, and upon properly attested warrants two other police- men were also arrested and held as accessories to the murder, Later in the day, however, the matter was brought to the notice of General Canby, who or- dered that an inquest be held upon the body of the deceased and that the murderer be tried by a mili- tary commission. Major Hambrick, the military commissioner for thus city, then bearing of the arrest of the other tup policemen, for some reason as yet unexplained, ordered their release, whether with the sanction of the commanding general it 1s impossibie to say. Atthree P. M., after much diMeulty, owing to the absence of the Coroner, an inquest was cou yened and the testimony of the surgeons commenced ; but as It was found necessary to have a post mortem examination in order to show the direction of the wounds no verdict has yet been rendered, and, in fact, but litue progress has been made in the case, THE SEQUEL to the tragedy fad it* origin in politics, the _ curse that now so fearially agitates the South. Prior to the war, Kelly, who is a young Irishman, lived in New Orieans, where he was generaily ani almoxt Well known as @ ward politician of te democratic stripe. In the same city at the same time aiso re- sided Dennis Callanad, who, besides being an active democrat, was rewarded for his partisanship by an office several times.

WELLINGTON, April 19, 186047 ‘The war is still dragging its slow length along, and there is unfortunately but a slight prospect of its being speedily terminated, Affairs at the end of each month remain in the same chronic state of con- fusion and uncertainty, and the colony i# all the time being plunged deeper and deeper into debt, while its settlers are con- stanly emigrating to more peaceful por- tions of Australasia, What the end will he is not dificult to predict.

On the east coast Te Kooti, completely recovered from his wounds, has again struck terror into the colonial heart. Having thoroughly reorganized bis force he came to Whakarae and persuaded Raku- raku, a friendly chief, and his followers, who were holding the place for the government and had only recently received a fresh supply of arms and ammu- nition, to betray their trust and join him, The next news heard of him was that he had mur- dered ® poor surveyor named Pitcairn on the island of Uhieva™ He seems then to have moved with 200 men to Ranporoa pa, held by @ chef named Hohaia, He advanced under a white flag, and until he came very uear the pa he and bis men were taken by the garrison for Arawas. » AS goon ag the mistake was ‘ound out, however, a volley was fired into the treacherous assailants and some twelve or fifteen were killed, ‘fe Kooti then retired to the cover of a large house, some thirty yards outside the pa, and remained there besieging the place for three days. The attack haying been totally unexpected the garrison had no supply of water and suifered dreadfully from thirst, their tor- tures being no doubt greatly aggravated by the sight of the beautiful river which flowed ony 100 yards beyond the pa down the valley, but access to which was of course shut off by wie attacking Hau Haus. To such a pass were the de- fenders at last reduced that they had to cleamout their pieces with urine, instead of water. ‘The patience of Te Koot!, however, lucklly sou vecane exhausted and he asked for @ pariey, aud offered Wo retire on condition that Hohaia and his trive re- mained neutral in the contest wich he stated he intended to begin with the Arawas. This proposi- tion was refused, and Hohaia managed to escape with his peopie to Matala, suffering but slightly froin the few mounted men in Te Kooti’s force. Fortu- nately there happened to be plenty of horses in tie pa; if there had not been, the wile garrison would doubtless have been massacred. The firing was kept up all through the three days’ siege, and Te Koou'’s loss is known to have been over ilfty, while only thirteen of the defenders were killed. ‘Ye Kooti, having stayed a few days at Rapparoa, took up a position in the Whakatane river, ouly some thousand yards from the pass between the bill and tne river, occupied by Major Mair and a large force of friendlies whites, Just about this time asmail party of Hau Haus attacked the house of a Frenceman named Joh Guerin, on the Ohiwa river, and murdered ail its mmaces, consisting of Johnny, three hired men, two women aud two chii- dren. At Whakatane there was a good deal of skirmishing and slight losses were sustained on both oe Kooti did not venture a general attack and Major Mair was too weak to take the initiative.
