Troy, August 23, 1870. ‘Enfeebied by the self-imposed labors of the past ‘week, the Aasociatiun yesterday took a special train for Saratoga prepared to enjoy all the pleasures sup- “posed to belong to an invitation from the city of Troy. From Saturday night after the Convention Rad adjourned, until yesterday (Monday) morning Yew themes were as interesting to the savans a8 “Saratoga.” The special train was in waiting at the @epot ai ten A.

Before the conclusion of his address Mr. Silliman was overcome by faintimg and was borne from the room. GzORGE F, BARKER delivered himself of a speech on “‘Molecuiar Classification.” A molecule was the minutest quantity of matter which could exhibit the Properties of bodies.

The audience began to retire before Mr. Clarke’s terrible prolixity, Clinton Roosevelt, of New York, for many years an €lucidator of science and inventor, a poet, a wit, a Philosopher and scholar, delivered ar abie paper, entitied “To Whom 18 Due the Credit of the Most Important Application of Steam as a Motive Powert” He claimed that the English frst made the sta- tlonary steam engine; that the Americans gave it its legs torun—that is, wade @ locomotive by the coa- Version of rectalinear to the circular motion; but the application of two cylinders and pistons, operaung 1m cranks set at right angles, precisely a8 are used noW on all the locomotive engines in the world, dis- pensing with the fy wheel and enabling the engine to run up hill.

THE COLORED LABOR CONVENTION. ‘the Gathering of the Delegates at Saratoga Springs—What They Propose to Do—The In- terest Manifested in the Work—Fred Douglass and Other “Lights” to be on Hand—The Call and Its Signers. w-mor- SARATOGA, August 23, 1870, Here 1s, indeed, enterprise! Picture to yourself the gathering at this fashionable watertng place of the colored gentiemon of distinction in the State, and many out of it, todiscuss in solemn conclave all the questions touching the adoption of plans to raise themselves still higher ip the social circle and enlarge their privileges in the xatter of lavor. Such is now the intention of the leaders of our colorea brethren, and to-morrow they set the ball in motion, Why they selected this spot, which has such & strange propensity to exclusive association, is not very clear; but It may be explained, like the political parties, repubiicans and democrats, or the woman’s suffrage agitators, they prefer the atmosphere, of dissipation, of fiirtations and the charm of music, which so inspires the heels and causes the hight fantastic toe to tremble, to one of more guietude and where their eloquence would be wasted upon the vacantair. There was athe when labor conventions did not take any interest in such vulgar associations; but thav’sa matter of the past, and now the intellects that govern such bodies take to French dishes and Con- gress water as ducks do to the water, or the boy of the period to billiard tables and mint juleps. The assemblage will be worthy of study. Although particularly designed to advocate the claims of the colored citizens of this State and engineered by men from your city, the Convention will have the able advice of many from distant parts, the honest, loyal and corageous of their race, who are looked up to ike the “god of the silver bow” by the adoring Greeks. fo say the village hall will not resound with eloquence and that the air will uot be vocai with words of wisdom is to fall wide of the mark. Yo be _ sure; it will be rather warm work for these warmish days, but the business cannot be stopped because the thermometer dail; dagraces itselt by getting high. No doubt, if this and all other conventions were held in the winter there would be a great sav- ing of fuel to our citizens, for such excitements are much better than anthracite or bituminous to keep the blood in a healthy circulation, Saratoga, in the hour of its mid-summer splendoy, has many colored citizens—from the shining black. tlrougit the shaae of brown to the yellow tunt—and these are industrious, and most part, exemplary persons, of course, subject to the incidental weak- nesses of hutnan nature. With them the excitement over the coming Convention 1s quiet, yet intense, It is not an unhealthy exhibition of popular energy. Said one of them to me this morning, “the price of liberty 1s eternal vigilance, and we want to keep our clatms—of labor chiey—before the people; we want the chance of working, and working honestly, aud until we have such opportunities we shall never say die.” What do you think of that doctrine? Won't it succeed tf they keep cool, discuss their great ques- tions calmly and never quarrel with opponents? New York trade unions, there is @ rod pickling for you up here. You won’t open your arms and receive the negro citizen, but ‘shoo fy” him to white aprons and beeisteaks and corn dodgers in the dining room and restaurants, ‘The colored State Convention wiil remark this great wrong, will be incensed thereat and perhaps threaten vengeance. Oh, for a tongue to tell the deep feeling upon this subject.

Roosevelt Bayley, Bishop of the Diocese of Newark, at his home in the latter city yesterday forenoon, after an absence in Rome and other parts of Europe of over @ year, was the occasion of general rejoicing among the faithful. It was the intention to make the Bishop's return the occasion of some public demonstration—a banquet or reception—but sin deference to his expressed wishes the idea has been abandoned. The reverend gentleman returned full of health and buoyant spirits. He had scarcely dis- embarked trom the Scotta when the sad intelligence ‘was broken to bim of the death of his beloved brother, Mr. William Bayley, of this city, whose funeral took place only last Saturday. It having been announced that a serenade would be tendered the Bishop in the evening an immense asgemblage of people, numvering not less than 3,000, gathered last night in front of the cathedral resi- dence, on Bleecker street, and extended to the dis- tinguished prelate @ most enthuslastic cead mile Jatithe, A band, procured by Fathers Killeen, Rule; and Dalton, played “Hall to the Chieti? aud other appropriate airs for three-quarters of an hour. In the meantume the appear- ance of the Bishop on the doorstep was the sij for deafening cheers. A few introductory remarks were made by Father Riley, after which Bishop Bayley himself addressed the assemblage, thanking those present for the very cordial welcome homd he had received and expressive of his grati- fication to be once more among his children and the people of Newark. He was glad, he said, to be again with not pay, his Catholic fellow citizens, but his Protestant, from whoin he had always received the utmost kindness. Considering tbat it was entirely an impromptu affair the demonstration was a most Mattering success and fally demonstraied the im- mense popularity of the present Bisbop of Newark. WibNesDAY THE COLD SPRING MURDER. The Robbery of the Bank Teller—Red Pepper as an Instrument in Crime—Examination of ‘William Conroy at Newburg—Trump- bour’s Vonfession—Interesting De~ taila—“A Clean Breast of It.” ‘The circumstancesof the arrest of William Con- roy, charged with complicity in the recent robbery resulting in murder at Cold Spring, on July 27, were given in Tuesday’s HeRaLp, Un Tuesday afternoon the prisoner was brought before Recorder Shafer, of Newburg, for examination. The people were represented on thig occasion by Cnarles T. ‘Titus, for the District Attorney, and J. H. Drake ap- peared on behalf of the prisoner. At two o’clock CONROY was brought into court. He is about twenty-four years of age, and was Mashily dressed. His counte- nance wears a kind of dare-devil expression, very well comporting with his reputation in Cold Spring and Newburg. In the court room were Conroy’s mother, a widow lady resi- ding in Cold spring; Wiillam A. Browning, the bank teller, whom Trumpdour attempted to rob; “Lib” Miullapaugb, Conroy’s ‘girl,’ and a number of the clizens or Cold Spring interested in bringing to"justice the murderer Trumpbour, and Vonroy, the alleged accessory to the robbery and resulting mur- der. Kate Moore, TRUMPBOUR’S MISTRESS, and a former inmate of a low haunt in Newburg, where Trumpbonr and Conroy are supposed to have concocted the scheme of robbing the bank teller, Was the first witness called on behalf of the people. She testified that she went to live at Charles Smith’s, Newburg, the place frequented’ by Trump- bour and Conroy, in May last; stayed there about two months; saw Conroy there; he used to go witb Trumpbour more than with any one else; they roomed together at Smith’s; they were together the day before the murder at Cold Spring—wont to that Place together; saw Conroy have a pistol at Smith’s; this was the day before they went ‘to Coid Spring; Saw bim take out old cartridges: can’t say whether he put anything back into the pistol or not, {the girl had previously stated in a deposition that the pistol with which the murder was committed was furnished to Trumpbour at this place]; saw Conroy on the evening of the day when the ROBBERY AND MURDER were committed; I was bad friends with Trumpbour at one time before this, and Conroy told me I ought to keep good friends With him, a8 there was some money coming to him. ‘The cross-examination of this wimess was walved by the defence, H. P. WHALEY, A SALOON KEEPER. at Cold Spring, was next sworn and testified to the fact that Conroy had been in his place about an hour on che morning of the murder, and had left there twenty minutes before the attack was made by Trumpbour on the bank teller; that he went in a direction opposite to that of the place where the at- tack was made; that Conroy was in the habit of fre- quenting his piace; that there was nothing strange or unusual in Conroy’s conuuce at this time. Joan D. Gilmore, ‘a hote! keeper at Cold Spring, was sworn for the people, and testified to Conroy's conduct at the time of the examination of ane: bour before the Justice of the Peace, just after the shooting of the coachman Jones; Uonroy did not appear Lo be greatly excited there. WILLIAM A. BROWNING, teller of the Fishkill National Bank, whom Trump- bour had attempted to rob, was next put upon the stand, and testified as follows:—Reside in Dutchess county; am teller of the Fishkill National Bank; the day I was assaulted in Cold Spring | went to that place from Fishkill village; this was on the 27th day of July last; I reached there at twenty-one minutes Past nine in the morning; this was on Wednesday; I went on my usual business—always went on Wednesdays—to receive deposits from customers, consisting of MONEY, CHECKS AND NOTES, there being no bank in Cold Spring; when I was at- tacked I was,entirely through with my business; my collections on that day amounted to $10,000, about $2,000 to $3,000 being in bank bills; it was ail ina satchel which I carried in my hand; I was-attacked a few minutes after twelve; I was standing in Main street, with my face towards the railroad, on Peiton’s corner; I did not know the man who at- tacked me; he came from an oppusite direction from the way I was looking, THREW RED PEPPER in my eyes, and at the same time grabbed my satchel. Isaw no other person standing about; I clung to the satchel down the steps and across the sidewalk; in the gutter I was compelled to relinquish my hold by his pulling the satchel from me; I ran after him aba cried, ‘Stop thier,” lran as far asa wooden pump in Fair street, then my eyes hurt meso bad what I had to stop; : 1 WAS PARTIALLY BLINDED; then Other persons commenced pursuit; some of the red pepper was taken from ‘umpbour’s pocket after he was arrested; I should think he threw a jJarge handful in my face; it was @ fact generally known 1n Cold Spring that I came down there every Wednesday to make collections for deposit in our bank; 1am not acquainted with Conroy, though I have geen him before; I made a complaint against John Trumpbour (or rather John Smith, as he then ¢ mt himself) after the murder ana attempted wbery. ‘The cross-examination of this witness elicited the fact (for the first time on this inguiry, though known to a lew previously) that Trumpbour has made A WRITTEN CONFESSION, in which Conroy 1s implicated: The witness, how- ever, had uot seen or heard the purport of the con- fession, further than as indicated above. He stated also that his affidavit, on which the warrant for the arrest of Conroy had been based, had been made without reference to this confession. Mr. Whaley, recalled, testified to having seen Trumpbour in the Justice’s office after his ARREST FOR THE MURDER. At this point the counsel for the people rested his case, and the prisoner’s counsel, not pe ready with his testimony, the further hearing of the case var ree to Wednesday afternoon at two o'clock. Itseems that the warrant on which Conroy was arrested specified charges of complicity in both the robbery and murder which have been referred to, but on the circumstances of the case being further inquired into the old case was dropped and a new warrant, charging Conroy with complicity in the attempted robbery alone, was issued and Conroy 1s now held on that charge. It is asserted by parties who claim to have seen TRUMPBOUR'S CONFESSION that it gives a detailed statement of the circum- stances preceding and attending the perpetration of the crimes for which he is held for trial; that he ad- mits the concocting of the plot in Newburg, and im- plicates certain parties in it, and that, in short, he has “made a clean breast” of the whole affair. It is also stated that the attack on the bank teller was a mistake, the person whom Trumpbour and his pals intended to rob being the cashier of the Cold Spring foundery, and that Trumpbour was mistaken for him. But this latter rumor lacks confirmation. Since Conroy’s arrest the Newburg detectives have entertained suspicions that he was concerned in the recent burglary and murder in Binghamton, N. Y., and the autnorities there were telegraphed to tora description of the burglar who made his es- cape, the other two Ley et engaged in the crime having been drowned, But the answer came that no description could be furnisied, The clerk who survived had not seen the burglars with sufficient distinctness to be able to describe any one of the three. CAPTURE OF A HORSE THIEF, A notorious horse thief named John Jerome Hays, who has recently served a term in Sing Sing Prison for horse stealing, arrived in that village on Sunday evening, driving a stylish trotter, to which was at- tached a lignt wagon. Having pulled up at the boarding house of his former prison keeper, Benja- min Loughiin, Hays informed him that he had called to fulfil hls promise made while in prison, namely, to present him with a horse, and added that, as he had paid forty dollars for the wagon, Loughlin might take it by handing him that amount. In order to secure big man Loughlin paid him ten dollars on account for the wagon and then noti- ve eae aes | AUGUST YZ, “DRIVEN T0 DEATH. ‘The Last Sutcide—A Man Calls His Wife and Children About Him—Shakes Hands With Them—Bide Them Goodby and Shoots Him- self Through the Head.

His wife endeavored to get to the door and give an alarm, still not think- ing there would be an absolute attempt by the hus- band to kill himself ; but he stopped her, saying: —“I don’t want you to go out; Iwant you tostay here.
