Ne WASHINGTON. Secret Investigation of the Charges Against General Howard. The Boston and New York Post Offices. Alleged Frauds in Building Contracts. ‘The Pacific Submarine Telegraph Company. Ben Butler Ventilates His Views of Political Bconomy. WASHINGTON, April 14, 1870. & Star Chamber Committee at Work—The Wood-Howard Investigation. The Wood-Howard investigation began to-day, ‘and several witnesses appeared for the prosecution. General Howard and Fernando Wood were both present, attended by counsel. Among the first acts Of the committee was the passage of a resolution making all the proceedings of the committee strictly secret, Counsel, witnesses and all concerned were enjoined not to mention outside anything that might be said or done in the committee room. Mr. Wood. ‘was in favor of having the investigation open and of allowing the representatives of the public press to be _ present. To ths arrangement Mr, Arnell, the chairman of the com- mittee, and a majority of the friends of General Howard objected. The counsel were miormed that no copies of evidence would be allowed and that no redirect examination would be permitzed. In short, this committee proposes to do what no other imves- tigation has ever been able’ to accomplish—namely, stop allleaks and constitute itself a veritable Star chamber, Under these circumstances nothing can be gained except from witnesses who have not the fear of the committee before their eyes. The wit- nesses examined to-day were A. 8. Cox, executor of the estute upon which the Howard University 19 erected; the Recorder of Deeds for this District, ana J. W. Rumsey and William Harney, contractors for the Howard University buildings. Mr. Cox testl- ed that General Howard, as Commissioner of the Freedmen’s Burcou, had purchased from him some- ‘Where in the neighborhood of 150 acres of land at $1,000 per acre, The last payment, he stated, was @ draft from General Balloch, disbursing officer of the bureau, on the Treasury for $114,000. The Register of Deeds submitted deeds for the whole Purchase, and also three lots of the same land sold to General Howard and a trust deed for the sale of a house and lot of his in the city to D. L. Eaton, of the Freedmen’s Bank. Rumsey and Harvey, the con- tractors, both testified that thetr contract was made with General Howard personally, and that their pay came from Balloch in the shape of drafts on the 'Trea- sury. Rumsey swore that he was present with Howard and Balloch at the headquarters of the Bureau when $24,000 in bonds of the First Congregational church were taken; that Balloch drew the check for the money and that How- ard sent 1¢ to the Freedmen’s Bank, with directions to deposit $18,000 to his account as special treasurer of the churoh fund, and the remaining $6,000 to his private account. Rumsey then turned over $18,000 im church bonds and Howard gave a mortgage on the house he had sold Eaton as se- curity for the money loanea him. Testimony ‘was taken showing the worthless character of the patent brick out of which the Howard University is built, and how Howard and his con- confréres of the bureau w as personally interested 1m these patent brick, Several of the workmen en- gaged on the building and som of the trustees and ‘other officers of the First Congregational church are summoned for to-morrow, Fernando Wood wanteg some one on the repubjican side of the House to Offer @ resolution making the proceedings of the committee open to the representatives of the press, as the tovestigation of the public printer; but be has not been able to get any one 10 do it. The New York Custom House Fight—Collec- tor Grinnell’s Position SecureProposed Resignation of the American Minister at Bertin. The parties who came on here crammed fall of hostile intentions against Collector Grinnell are to have their Jabor as their sole reward. After all the trumpeting and biowing and boasting in which ‘they indulged they will find out to-morrow, if in- deed, it has not reached them already, that the President has not been in the least moved; that his faitn m Grinnell is quite as strong as ever, and, in short, that Moses is likely to rule over the New York Custom House just so long as it suits his purpose to do so. Mr. Tém Murphy, of your city, was very desirous of atepping into Mr. Grinnell’s shoes;/and was backed up in his ambition by not a few of the disappointed repubitcans not en- joying the sweets of office. But Mr. Tom Murphy, mm all probability, will have to wait a little longer. The Murphyites discovered that fact Yesterday, and the anti-Grinnell faction forthwith switched off on another path in search of somebody else likely to command more importance in Presl- dential eyes. They hit on Pleasanton and com- Menced advancing upon the White House, with the motto “Pleasanton and victory” inscribed on their banners. but Pleasanton, though standing well at headquarters, proved no more accept able against Grinnell than ‘Tom Murphy himself. Now they are trying to shove forward somebody » else; but my information, derived from the best source, is that no Success will attend this movement either. Itmay happen that Mr. Grinnell may, tu the course of time, give up the Custom House or his own accord, if his enemies have patience and let him alone; but in the face of menaces and misrepre- ®entations he will never consent to abandon the feld. In this connection I may state that it is rumored that Mr. Bancroit desires to come home from Berltn, and that Mr. Grinneil is likely to be offered the mis- gion to Prussia, But that matter nas taken no snape yet, though it does look a littie probable tnat should Bancroft really come back Mr. Grinnell would be tendered the position and likely enough resign the Collectorship. The New York. and Boston Post Offices. Mr. Farnsworth, chairman of the Committee on Post UMices and vost Roads, made a report to-day, concluding as follows:— In the opinion of the committee a building in New York in all respects suitable and ample for the Purpose of its construction, namely, a post office, should not cost to exceed two and a@ half million dollars, and could be erected and completed within that sum; that “the amount excceus the es- timate made by Mr, Mullett for a granite Dullding in 1868 over $300,000. The Post Onice building in Boston should not cost over $1,000,000 for @ first class fireproot building suitable and propci for the purpose of its construction. In this connec- tion the committee call attention to a letter of Mr, Alpheus Hardy, a well Known citizen of Boston, ‘who bas been and is lary engaged in building in that city, and also one of the commissioners ap- winted by Cony to select a site for the building. @ says:—The building may be erected, and mect every reasonabie want of the government, at a price not exceeding $800,000; say 22,000 feet of land cov- ered ac thirty-six dollars per square foot, fiaishea and furnished; land, about $450,000—total cost, $1,250,000. 3 The committee say it seems very plain to them that the granite contracts, in connection witn the other expenditures; made upon the buildings under consideration, very greatiy exceed, in both cases, the amounts appropriated when tne contracts and expenditures were made, It is difficult to finda more palpable or flagrant violation of the spirit and {ntentions, if not the lettcr, of the law. The committee recommend that the contracts with fhe Dix Isiand Company ana the Cape Aun Granite Company be annulled, and that no further appropri- tion be made for these buildings without a provi- alow limiting their cost and making it the duty of the fecretary of the Treasury or other oMcer charged with the responsibility to see to it that plans are periéofed ang proper contracts made for the en- fire complésion of the buiidings within the amounts thus Iimited, The raport is sigued by ex Of the NEW YORK HERALD, FRIDAY, APRIL 15, 1870—TRIPLE SHEET. committee, namely:—Messre, Farnsworth, Ferry, Tyner, Boyd, Adams and 8m}"p, of Orego Representatives Twiche) and Fitch have pre- pared, but not yet presented, their views. ‘They do not conour in the report of the majority of the com- mittee for the following reasons:—First, the teatl- mony elicited by the commitiee does not sustain the allegation that money has been expended in excess of the ‘appropriations for the construction of the Post OMice butidings in New York and Boston, or in Violation of Jaw; or, secondly, that the construc. tion of satd building im New York has been com- menced and is in progress in an iliegai and unsuita- ble manner (in the judgment of the minority); thirdly, no plang for the building had ever peen ap- Proved by Congress, The conference report on the disagrecing votes on the Deficiency Appropriation bill, which hay been agreed to by theS enate and will be by the House, Qppropriates one million dollars for the New York Post OMice, with the following proviso:— That no part of this sum, beyond the sum of $500,000, or any other sum appropriated for this purpose, shall be expended until a contract or con- ‘acts for the completion of the entire build- ing in conformity with the plans to ve approved by the “Secretary of the Treasury and Postmaster General, at all times under their direction, shall be entered into with the lowest re- sponsible bidder or bidders, and for a sum not ex- ceeding $3,000,090, including’ ail sums already ex- pended for this purpose, except for the site; and the expenditure of any sum of money in violation of this provision shall be deemed unlawful. Five hundred thousand dollars 1s also appro- Priated for the Boston Post Ofice,fwith a similar pro- vision, No sum beyond half of tnis amount ts to be expended until the contract 1s made, the entire cost of the building not to exceed a million anda half dollars, exclusive of the site. Slight Flurry Among Diplomats—Secretary Fish Refuses to Receive the Peruvian Min- ister. * J. W. Caldwell, accredited as Minister of the Peru- vian republic to the United States, was before the House Committee.on Foreign Affairs to-day to make complaint that Secretary Fish refnged to receive his credentials and to present him to the President, Tt appears that Mr. Fish refused to acknowledge Mr. Caldwell as Peruvian Minister on the ground that ne is a citizen of the United States. Mr. Caldwel argued with the Secretary of State that Mr. Burlin- game was received as the representative of a fcreign Power whila he was a citizen of the United States. To ths Mr, Fish replies that Mr. Burlin- game came on a special mission to make a treaty, and notjas the representative of China, to reside here, ‘The committee, after lustening to the statement of Mr. Caldwell, told him that they had no jurisdiction in the case, as it was not oficiaily before them. Tne truth is that this ts not the first case recently pre- sented in which Mr. Fish -refused to re- ceive an American citizen as a representative of a foreign government, The same course was adopted in the case of Squires, from Honduras, and also in the case of Folsom and Delmonte, the Haytien Com- missioners appointed by Saget. Itisthe policy of our government, and always has been, to discourage such appointments, Foreign Ministers are clothed with great privileges and exemptions, such as free- dom from arrest, &c., which ought not to be allowed to our own citizens, and this is one of the reasons why they should not be received here, as a rule. Almost a Catastrophe—Firo in a Church— Narrow Escape of the Congregation. There was near being a very great catastropho here to-night by an accidental tire in St. Patrick's Roman Catholic church. The repository in which the sacred Host was placed, and which, according to custom on this day, was beautifully decorated, took fire from a -burn- ing candie, A quantity of lace and light inflammable material got in ames ma moment ana lit up the whole church, which was crowded with people waiting tor the Zenevrae service, Some of the congregation became frightened and rushed from the church; but fortunately there was no gen- eral pantie, or the consequences from crushing would have been dreadful, as the means of exit are very inadequate. Through the presence of mind of the clergymen the host was teken out safely and the flames were suppressed before the body of the church sustained injury. The entire decoration’, however, of the repository were destroyed, and the church had to be Closed without the usual service. Lawlessness in Alabama—A Vigorous Policy Tuaugurated by Governor Smith, The following telegraphic correspondence took Place to-day:— =* “MONTGOMERY, Ala., April 14, 1870. Hon. WILLARD WARNER:— You have doubtless learned of the recent acts of lawlessness in Greene and other counties in this State. Ihave matured and am putting in operation a vigorous and determined policy, which will not only stop violence but bring the offenders to punish- ment. W. H. SMITH, Governor of Alabama, Governor W. H. Suirn, Montgomery, Ala.:— Iam rejoiced at your telegram. The President, Congress and the country will sustain you in a bol action to eniorce the law and give safety to all elasses of our citizens. Let rebels be forgiven and murderers hung, Amnesty and the halter will give us peace and safety. WILLARD WARNER. The America and Asin Submarine ‘Telee graph. in my despatches yester- cyrus W. Field’s bili for a subma- Tine telegraph cable bejween America and Asia was introduced to-day in both houses, It meets with very general favor from the fact that it asks no subsidy from the govern- ment, and also from the fact that it wili completo the circuit of the globe telegraphically. The proba- bility 18 that it will pass without any opposition at all. The moment the bill passes orders will be given for the construction of over 9,000 miles of cable, and surveys and soundings will be ordered by the Navy Department, that no unnecessary delay ay occur. Itis proposed to have two breaks in the submarine communication with Japan by means of the Sandwich Islands and Baker’s Island, From California to the Sandwich Islands will be a cable about 2,500 miles long; between the latter and Baker's island another cable of over 1,000 miles, and then another of 2,00) miles to reach Japan; trom Japan to China, about 1,000 mules, will be joined oy one continuous cable. The Arctic Expedition. The Senate Committee on Foreign Relations had an irregular meeting to-day anda g.ve so:ne atten- tion to the Arctic exploration question. ‘The opin- ion was expressed by @ prominent member of the Committee that the whole matter wiil fail in conse- quence of the rivalry indulged in by tne two leaders now pressing their respective views, The Oncida Disaster. The Senate Committee on Naval Attairs this morn- ing agreed to report favorably granting a year’s pay to the families of the officers and men lost on the Oneida. Nominations by the President.

Mr. DRaKg, (rep.) of Mo,, inquired whether the entioman Ventured to charge that Senators of the nited States used the hours of the Sabbath to man- ulacture speeches. Mr. CHANDLER was willing to leave the decision of the question entirely to the Senator from Missouri (Mr, Drake), Last December there was a rehash of all the speeches that had ever been made on the Georgia question, and this rehash was twice again served up in the cases of Virginia and Mississipp) and then the Senace came back to Georgia and ha @ little more hash. ‘The country was sick of debate, the newspaper press was disgusted with it and the only hope now Wa8 to git it out. oquaation, of order being raised, the resolution Was finally declared out of order as, in confics with the fifty-third rule, itted the decision of the Chatr, Mr. CHANDLER believing that the legisiation of the session, now farther behind than ever before at the same time, could only be pushed forwara by means of some such rule, He said titat a fair distribution of the average time of the dally sessions of the Senate among the members would give to each three minutes a a: Atquarter past one o'clock the Geo! proceeded with, and Mr. Monron, (rep.) of Ind., dressed the Senate, He depicted tho outrages and violence committed by Ku Kiux and other secret or- ganizations in the South, whose paroose was to rive out republicans, He attrib their exist- ence to the teachings of Northern democratic con- ventions, and particularly of ube National Conven- stton of that party in New York city in 186% He charged the responsibility for the present reign of terror in the South upon the democratic party’or the North, and proceeded to argue that if federal in- tervention in reconstructed States was made itshould be made tn the interest of the loyai friends of the government and not of its enemies, Mr. EDMUNDS attributed the cause of the out Tages in the South to the inefliciency of the auihori- ties, He thought that as long as the people there did not choose to defend themselves the remedy could not ve'supplied by legislation of Congress. By general consent Mr. MORRILL, of Me., sub- mitted the report of the committee of conference on the ditterences of the two houses on the Deficiency bill, which was cencurre‘t in, ‘The Senate then rejected Mr. Williams’ amend- ment to Insert, in lieu of Mr. Bingham’s amendment, @ proviso that the next election for members of the Legislature shall be held in November, 1872, &c.

THE TARIFF BILL. Mr. Brooks, (rep.) of Mass., made an attempt to getup acontested election case, but on motion of Mr. SCHENCK the House, at a quarter to two o'clock, went into committee on the Tariff bill, Mr. WHEELER in the chair, the question being on the amendment offered yesterday by Mr. Banks to reduce the duty on hemp, unmanutactured, irom forty doliara to wwenty- five dollars per ton. The discussion, which was participated in by Messrs. Wood, Schenck, Burdett, Morgan, butler of Mass., Axtell, Marshal, Beck and Banks, covered the question whether Russia hemp and Manila were or were not similar productions; whether, under the treaty with Russia, they should not be subjected to the same duty, and the effect ofa high duty on hemp as a benefit to the farmers of the West, and as an injury to shipbuilding and on com- merce, &o. Mr. SCHENCK, (rep.) of Ohio, in reply to Mr. Axtell, who had criticised a paper emanating from the Rus- sian Minister and published in to-day’s Globe as a art of yesterday’s proceedings, complimented Mr. ‘atacazy as a most excellent, courteous gentleman, who was incapable of intruding on a department of the government to which he was accredited, Mr, Banks, (rep.) of Mass, on the same point, said that he had presented this paper on his own responstbility, not on that of the representa. tive of any foreign government. There was nothing objectionable or exceptionable either in the paper or in the presentation of it. The question before the committee was one as the construction of trea- tes, and hoe regarded the provision as to hemp as being in direct violation of the United States treaty with Russia. The Solicitor of the Treasury had re- mily given an opinion to the Secretary that Rus- hemp and Manila must be hela to be similar and like articles, Manila was considered as hemp all the world over, ‘The generic and common term of Manila was hemp. They had, therefore, no right to make a distinction In the duty in the face of the treaty with Russia. Mr. AXTELL, (dem.) of Cal., inquirea whether the communication referred to was to be understood as. the argument of the geutleman representing Massa- chusetts, or the gentieman representing Russia? Mr. BANKS replied that it represented himself and Rot the Russian Minister. H2 had presented it simply as the other side of the question, and had aa no reference whatever to the Russian Min- ter. Mr. BANKS moved to increase the duty on Mantla from $25 to $40 per ton. Rejected, On motion of Mr. ScnENcK the next paragraph Was amended so as to read ~‘'On jute and Sisal grass $5 per ton.” The next paragraph was that taxing jute lints ten doliars per ton. Mr. STRONG, (rep.) of Conn., moved to reduce it to six dollars, and advocated the amendment in the interest of the paper manufacturers of the country. after discussion by Messrs, Schenck, But.er (of Mass.), Kelly, Banks, Garfield, Buckley and Roots, the amenament was adopted by 64 to 54. The next paragraph was that taxing cordage and hemp three cents per pound. On motion of Mr, GARFIELD, (rep.) of Ohio, the paragraph was struck out, The committee then, at half-past four o’ciock, took @ recess tli half-past seven o'clock this even: ing. Evening Session. The Committee of the Whoie, at half-past seven o'clock, resumed the consideration of the Tarif bill, commencing at the paragri aph taxing gunny cloth, &c., three cents per pound, when valued at ten cenig or Jess per gauare yard. and four cents Rer pound when valued at over ton centa per square i Mr, BUCKLEY, of Ala., moved to amend by reduc- ing the daty to two cents and three cents per pound, in the course Of the discussion upon the amend- ment Mr, BuTLER declared that he did not wish to see the day when manufactuers would flourish in the West; for where manQlactures slourish agricul- ware goes down. Mr. SCHENCK, in commenting upon that remark, declared that after that he was prepared for almost anything in the way of political economy. He could not help being amazed at it when he reflected thav nowhere in the world was agriculture brought to such perfection ag in England, Holland, and France, particularly in Holland, in the very midst of the Manufacturing region. He had supposed hat wherever manufactures grow up agrRultu: a8 also advanced, and high prices obtained for the pro- duet of the soil, He commented on the sclflahiess of New England, which was not content with less than sixty or elgnhty-flve per cent protection, but did not wish to let the Weat havea protection of thirty-five per cent. Mr. DAWES was ata loss to know on what princi. ple his colleague (Mr. Butler) would make a tariif. Aday or two ago he had proposed to discriminate against home manufacturers for the purpose of benefiting the Lynn shoemakera, and now he pro- to concentrate all of the manufacturers in & particular section and the agricultural pursuits in another. His colleague was making war on any at- tempt to diversify the industry and employment of the people. He (Mr. Dawes) believed that the growth of manufactuers im the West would benefit that region by opening u» a new market for ite agricul- tural products, Such a policy as that indicated by his colleague would be the worst possible policy for the permanent prosperity of the country. Mr. WILLARD, (rep.) of Vt., also expressed bis amazement at the bold statement of the gentleman from Massachnsettsa (Mr. Butler), and sald that if, after voting an industry in bis own district, he re- fused to vote for an industry in another district, he should feel that he was not doing his duty. Mr. BurLer defended his position, aud repeated that manufactures could not be got to flourish tn the West, hothouse them as they mizbt, so long as there was cheap iand there. As to what the gentieman from Vermont (Mr. Willard) bad said, he remarked that that was log-roliing. That was the way these tariff bills were log-rolied through. He (Mr. Butier) did not do business in that way, He went for wnat he thought was right. Aiter further discussion the amendment was re- Jected—53 to 62, Mr. SARGENT, (rep.) of Cal., moved an additional paragraph, making tue duty on burlaps twenty-flve per cent ad valorem, Adopted. ‘The next paragraph, in reference to hemp and jute carpets and mmatung, Was passed over without amendment. The next paragraph was that taxing matting of bass or Linwood bark fifteen per cent ad valorem, which was passed without amendment. ‘The next paragraph, taxing mats and carpets of vegetable material, was not amended. ‘he next paragraph was that taxing yarns, &c., forty per cent. Mr, BANKS moved to strike out of the paragraph, 80 a8 to put onthe free list, the words coir or fibre and cocoanut fibre. Agreed to, Mr. TWITCHELL, (tep.) of Mass., moved to amend the paragraph by reducing the duty on tow of fax, heap or jute to thirty-five per cent, On a vote by tellers there was no quorum voting. The committee rose, having disposed of but one Page of the bill to-day. Mr. BUFFINDON, (rep.) of Mass., introduced a bill to provide for the redemption of nickel coin, Re- ferred to the Committee on Banking and Currency. The House then, at ten minutes past ten o'clock, adjourned, MAUNDY THURSDAY. Services in the Roman Catholic Churches—The Music, Decorations and Coremonies— The Office of the Tenebrae. Yesterday was Holy or Maunday Thursday. It Was celebrated with solemn pomp and ceremony tn all our Roman Catholic churches, Temporary Niches, richly curtained with lace and muslin and adorned with gold and silver lace and rare and bea tiful flowers, were erected to the left of the high al- tars, and within the recesses symbolic garcophagt were placed to represent the Saviour’s tomb. Be- fore these repositories, after the blessed sacrament had been deposited, throngs of devout worshippers knelt during the day, each remataing from fifteen to thirty minutes, ‘These rites of the Church of ceremonies and sym- bola, celebrated on Thursday, Friday and Saturday preceding Easter Sunday, aré commemorative of the last sufferings and death of her Redeemer. Every expression of festivity and joy is laid aside in her wervice. No Gloriain Excelsis will ring forth, or sweet bells be chimed or instrumental sound in her churches until Holy Saturday, which celebrates the eve of Christ’s resurrection. The services at ‘ ST. PATRICK'S CATHEDRAL were’ carried out with more rubrical ex- actness than at any other church. An exquisite re- pository had been prepared on the evening before. It was glittering with white lace, gold and silver fringe and flaming with the light of many tapers. The service began at half-past ton A. M. The procession of clergy and acolytes was rendered very imposing, the thurifers and crossbearer ing young clergymen, sem- imarians from ‘Troy. ‘Twenty acolytes headed the procession, followed by the Rev. Dr. Starrs, Vicar General, in gold vestments, cope, mantle and stole, as celebrant aad officiant of the service, ac- companied by the Rev. Martin O’Hagarty, deaco Rey. James McLean, sub-deacon; Kev. Michael Phelan, crogs bearer; Rey. P. Brophy and Rev. Jonn Kean, thurifers, and’Rev, John F. Kearny, master of ceremon.es. Meantume the Kyrie and Gloria were ren- dered, with organ accompaniment, by the flue choir of this church. A light mass of Concone’s was elected by the organist Schinitz.

To THs EDITOR oF THE HERALD:— Through your valuable paper we wish to call the immediate attention of the Iuspector of Buildings (if we have any) to the very dangerous condition of the large building erected by Wood Brothers for a car- riage manufactory on Broadway, near Astor place, running through to Latayette place. It is five stories high, with very light walls, About 100 feet of the north wall fell of its own weight a few days ago, with @ crash. The remainder of the wail near Broadway has buiged out and 1s propped up with timbers, the ends reatiag on the Stuyvesant Bauk building. The neighbogs are afraid of their lives, a3 they expect it to fall as any time. The owners and builders should be peosecuted and made to pay damages for erecting, steh a shell of a building, and the Inspector of Buildings should compel them to re- move the dangerous structure immediately. By noticing the above you wil greatly oblige many 1a the neighborhood, SUBSCRIBER, THE MURDER OF MAJOR CALLAHAN.—Particulars ofthe killing of Major Callahan ut Austin, l'exa: are received.

The Summing Up of Counsel and Judge Barnard’s Charge to the Jury—The Vordlet—Murder in the Second Degree—A Stay of Proceed- lugs Granted. The interest manifested in the third trial of Edwin Perry for the murder of Thomas Hayes,, night watchman at Harbeck’s stores, Farman street, Brooklyn, increased as the proceedings approached aclose, The evidence in the case having been con- ' cluded on Wednesday Mr. Charles 8. Spencer pro~ ceeded to sum up for the defence at the opening of the Court of Oyer and Terminer yesterday morning. Long before the court convened the corridors of the Court House were thronged by a motley crowd of people, who were anxious to hear the closing speeches of counsel and the charge of his Honor Judge Barvard, None but members of the bar, witnesses, reporters and others having business there were admitted to the lower part of the cours room, outsiders being sent to the gallery, which cane not accommodate more than 200 persons, The court met at about nine o'clock, when Mr. Speucer commenced his speech, He spoke for nearly three hours, reviewed the evidence at length and claimed that there had been none at all to ime Dlicate the prisoner 1 any way with the murder of watchman Hayes. He concluded his remarks shortly before tweive o'clock, when the Cours took @ recess for half an hour, Upon the reassembiiug of the court District Ate torney Morris proceeded to address the jury for the prosecution. He carefully reviewed the evi end claimed that the prosecution had made out a case against the prisoner; therefore he asked of tha jury a verdict of guilty. At about three o'clock Judge Barnard arose cbarge the jury. Silence prevailed in the court room and every eye was directed upon the Judge, Jadge Baruard’s Charge to the Jury. GENTLEMEN—The peopie have placed the prisoner, Eawin Perry, on trial for the crime of murder. ‘The evidence has been closed and the case has been summed up before you, and I am briefly to state the law governing the case, and it will then pase to you for determination. ‘Ihe peuple undertake to prove against the prisoner that 1nomas Hayes came to his death on the evening of the 28th of ber jJast, in this city, by @ pistol siot, which was dis« cbarged into his person by ile prisoner at tne bar, from which wound Hayes died, and that the time this wodnding was inflicted by tha prisoner he designed to take the ijie of Thomas Hayes. ‘The people are to prove that Perry, with @ premeditated design to take Hayes’ life, discharged tue pistol, by means of which Hayes died, and if iuat is made out, the de- fendant is guilty as charged. That is tie claim that 13 the theory of the prosecution. Now, gone men, this brings before you tie issue that you are to try, and like otuer cases—most Cases—all those facta are not in dispute materially. it 1s not a question of serious dispute that fbomas Hayes died from the efect of u pistol shot Wound, on the evening of the 2sth of December last, in tits city. You wilt! have no trouble in disposiag of that fact. The great queation tn this case is—did the prisoner re that, shot? Now, gentlemen, that yor have got to pass wupon—tiat you have got to find irom the evidence in this case, That is one fact upon which everytuing depends for the people ana for the prisoner. Now, 1 win wut to review testimony. You have listened to i tor jour or fi hours discussed by men whose business It is to dine cuss testimony. | will say to you that you must scan: the testimony—that you must rely upon your recol- lection of it—that your recolleccon of it is to be the thing that Is to govern you rather than the state- ments of counsel where they aifer as to what the testitmony w Did Perry tire this shot? You are to be éatisiied in the first place from the evidence, in polnt of tuct, he did fire it, and in determining this question you me to take into account the dying declaration of the deceased, Hayes. If 1 am wrong in that deci- sion there 1s a court to which that pa. can be en and [set rigut; but 1 ft should happen to be right, as I believe 1 am, and the jury take a different view and treat the evidence a3 not evidence in ine case, we people are entirely without remedy. 1 will, tuerefore, say to you tuat you will take the dying declaration of this man, with the other evidence in this case, to determine whether in poine of fact Hayes came to his death by a tel shot wound inflicted upon him by Kdwin erry on the night in question. If you conciude that he did not fire that pisiol, it 13 the end of the case. He 1s to be acquitted. if he did fire this pistol shot, 1t 18 but one step in the verdict the people ask. There is another thing that you must ind ‘rom the evi- dence before you can convict Perry of murder in the frat degree. Perry must not only have occastoned the death of Hayes, but he must have, at the time he tfiicted the wound, tu- tended to kill him. He imust have had preformed design in point of f nh take bis oa Oe 5. he time. ed not have had it for any oO! time; if he had it at the instant, the law 14 satisfied as lo the question of premeditation, Now, upom this question you have the whole body of the evi- dence. The Court can aid you very littie. The law in- tends, presumes that aman inteada to do what he does dio when he uses suilicteut wiecas to accomplisu the result he does. If Edwin Perry fired a loaded pisto: at the body of the deceased, the law presames that he intended to accomplish the usual and ordinary result of the means he used. That 1s the’ presumption. That you may rebut by tue evidence tm the case if there be evidence that be did lire this pistol, put that be did Not at the time mtend to take the life of the deceased watchman. If he fired the pistol, if at the time he did design to take life, and i liayes died from the effect of this wound, Verry 1s guilty of murder in the first degree, and there is ho escape lor you irom de- claring the result by your verdict in case you find tnese facts extablisned satisfuctorily and beyoud a reasonable doubt by tie evidence tn this case, Now, genticinen, Limay @3 well here say that you are not to give tis veidict ia order tha: the peopie may be protected, You are not to give this verdict 10 order that auy person may be territied because ob your verdict. Yuu are to see tut the evidence makes out this taking of life tu the lorbidden invent at the time he adimiuistered the blow; but 1 you are not satisfied by the evidence that tis Intent CO take life 19 made out, or that he ved the shot, it is your duty to give the prisoner the beneilt of any rea- sonable doubt, and te cowmunity must take the chances against muruer i some way other than by punishing & man against whom the evidence does hot make out w coimplete, clear case of murder beyond all reasonable duno! W, gentlemen, that is the first question you ha ou to decide, Did he fire the pisiol? Did he have mtenut to take life at the time he tired? If he dic he is guilty of murder; if he did not he is not. Ii he did tire the pistol and you are satisfied that he did not actually intend to take life, you may find one of two otner verdicts, If at the time he fired the pistol, if he did fire it, he was engaged in the commission of feiouy; if he took Hayes’ life while he was commit- ting afelouy, not intending todo so at the time he fired this pistol, then you may fud him gulity of murder tn the second degree. if you are not satis- fied that the prisoner was cugaged im the comimis- sion of a felony and tired tilsqis.ul and occasioned this death and had no design to take Iife, then you may tind him gailty of mausiauguter in the third degree. That completes tie list of the verdicis that ‘ou can render ugiler tig evidk a You can flud im guilty of murder in the frat dégreé tf the kill- ing Was premeditated and done by the prisoner. If the killing was doug by the prisoner and not premeditated, and the prisoner at the tme was engaged in the commission of a felony, itis murder in the secoud degree. If the killing was done by the prisouer and not premedited, and the prisoner was not cngaged in the commission of a felony, it is manslaughter 1a the third degree. Th firat verdict will be death; the second imprisonmeat guilty, which gives tats man an enti Yhe jury reurea at about a quarter pi o'clock aud at half-past nine returned into court and through tueir foreman prescuted @ verdict con. victing the prisoner of MUKDEH IN THE SECOND DEGREE, The announcement of this verdict created the greatest excitement in the court room, and Mrs. Perry, Who was present with her children, fainted immediately, She subsequently recovered aud was removed to the District Attorney’s oMice, where she swooned again. She @fterwards recovered and returued nome. Perry himself received the verdict with an apparent Indifference.
