The Deed Done by a Wostern Man—The Mis- fortunes of ths Great George Jones—A Prisoner on Blackwell’s Island Quizzes the Poor Man—How His Excellency Tried to Manu‘acture Evidence, and Failed—The “Count” Pho. tographed by a Smart Convict. One way to get to Blackwell's Island is to call on Mr, Kellock at the Charities and Correction offices in Third avenue, provide yourself with a “permit from that gentleman, then take the boat at the foot of Fast Twenty-sixth street, and there you are in less than no time. It is nota pleasant journey, though, by any means, and on a cold, dull day is calculated to produce anything but pleasant feelings. There is an dir of distress around tne whole scene from first to'last, beginning with the poer old mang who keeps Watch at the gate tili the first landing ts reached and half a dozen or so of men and women are helpea out to walk up ‘or be carried up to the Charity Hospital, out of which those, certainly, who went in there yesterday have not the faintest chance of ever getting. It is @ rough sight to see old people, poor and penniless, friendless and alone, going into a charity house to die, Even the boat that conveyed the crowd 18 gotten upon purpose to inspire awe and prevent } the remotest chance occurring of a cheerful moment, 1t being black all over outside, tolerably gloomy and dingy inside, while its name is Bellevue. This state of things existing, it ls not a wonder that any stranger should land on Blackwell's Islaud pos- sessed of most melancholy and ‘ HINEQUY MENTAL PHANTOMS, especially a3 the persou Just roferred to was be° ; Coming engaged in investigating the amount of truth that should be placed in the latest tnforma- tion concerning the Nathan murder. It might as Well be stated at once that the murderer fs not quite yet in the hands of the police, but that he seon shall be there is now more reason to believe than there has been atany time since the bloody deea was committed. There 18 a prisoner now in the Penitentiary on Blackwell’s Island from whom mest valuable corroboratory evidence as to facts and sus- picions has been received, CLEARING UP SOME MISSING LINKS in the chain of evidence. This mau has freely told all he knows about the murdcr anc the person sus- pected of the crime, and each repeated visit that | has been paid him by the detectives the greater has become the confidence in finally succeeding in bringing the case before the authorities. The devec- tives who are working up the case in this light belong to Chicago, and they confidentiy assert that THE MUKDERER IS A WESTERN MAN and at present living 1n that part of the country. More than this they deciine sa fine vat they are more tian satisfied with their visit to New York, and say they believe the large rewards ouered ior the murderer's arrest wili go westward Uns time. But while these gentlemen were quietly g Whatever was known to the prisoner whom they had in hand @ most amusing series of Visits wers pai. to the Peni- tentiary on a similar errand to tac. «s the eifcers, but altogether on a different tack, seorge Jones, known as the 0 annes.”? The great point of difference between the detecteres and the Count was that the former were trying to get all the peints they could get out of thetr man, while his Excellency was supplying any nurober of points ‘Vo bis, and those, too, ef a POSITIVELY STARTLING character. The Count weeks ago, and continued them at regular intervals until a certain extraordinary event occurred, which placed him in a most laughable position. The Count, however, deserves an acknowledgment of the art displayed by him in bringing into the joke certain Keen intelligences that he badly vict:mized afterwards. As the reporter was about to leave the oftice of Mr, Fitch, the courteous warden of the Penitentlary, that gentleman inquired if he had any curiosity to see ra THE MAN THAT HCUMBUGGED COUNT JOHANNES. An ailirmative reply being given, the prisoner was sent for, but betere he came in Mr. Fitch stated that Bowe, which is the assumed name tne man uses at present, 1s a8 smart and keen as even the great Count himself, and that it would take two to @et the best of him. Howe is about thirty years of age, tall and sharp featured, and enjoys hugely the Joke he played on Jones. Mr. Fitch introduced him in a few words, and 28 soon as Howe had got over his embarrassment at being exhibited in his stupid suit, he spoke glibly enough in reply to questions. “| suppose you have lad a visit frem your frieud, the Count recently?” “I haven’t seen bim since he published THAT PACK OF LIES in one of the newspapers.

The Brooklyn Navy Yerd—What is Being Dene There—The Tonnessce to Go Into Commission To-Day. A visit to the Brooklyn Navy Yard at the present peried is highty suggestive of that quict and almost gtaveyard stiliness which prevails at the necropolis atthe southern end of the city, Greenwood Ceme- very. Yet despite the quiet which strikes one on wending his way.from the York street gate down the main street of the yard toward the Lyceum, there is work going on within the strong stractures whieh form the workshops, and on board the war vessels tbat line the docks. THE FORCE EMPLOYED is about sixteen hundred, and no more men are | Wanted at present. The appropriation will not ad- | mit of any material increase of tne number just now, whatever Congress may do in tne future, to push forward the work of repairing and building our navy.

The oilicers ordered to her are ; four Heutenant eommanders, stx lieutenants, two masters, a full complement of surgeons, a pay- master, boatswatn, sailmaker, gunner and carpen- wi.

It was feared some time ago that, inder the limited force placed by Congress at the disposal of the Navy Department—3,500 men—1y would be im- ible to obtain a crew for the Tennessee before 6 spring set in, but the return of the Delaware and the course of her crew in reshipping Las ob- viated this drawback, and enables her ¢o ship her full complement of 350 men thus opportunely.

Robert D. Bogart, the Defaulting Paymaster's Clerk, in Court Again. How Government Moneys were Squandered in ‘Wall Street—Bogart Charges a United States Officer with Embezzlement and is Exposed Himeel{—A Court Martial Blunder—The Story of an Unfortunate Career. The case of Robert D, Bogart, the defaulting pay- master's clerk of the United States receiving ship Vermont, was before Judge Benedict, in the United States District Court, Brooklyn, yesterday, when the defendanv’s counsel, Mr. Henry C. Place, made a motion for a new trial of the civil action brought by the government against the defaulter. The readera of the HERALD may remember that Bogart ab- sconded on December 18, 18¢8, a defaulter, as the government alleges, to the amount of nearly $30,000, HE WAS SUBSEQUENTLY ARRESTED in Galveston, Texas, and brought on to Brooklyn, when a civil action was instituted against him for the recevery of the money. Criminal proceedings were also commfenced against him, but this action i still pending. The civil uction was tried in April, 1869, and resulted in a verdict in favor of the govern- ment for $54,000, Exceptions were taken to rulings of the Court on that trial and afterwarda argued be- fore the judge, who rendered a decisien reducing the verdict to $27,246. Thereupon Bogart moved for a new trial, and that motion came up for argu- ment yesterday, Itseems that after the first trial Bogart, by order of the Navy Department, was , TRIED BY COURT MARTIAL on the charge of stealing money belonging to the United States. He was then found guilty, and sentenced to be imprisoned fora term of tnree years, to forfeit all pay ana emoluments, and to be dis honorably discharged from the service, The Seo rotary of the Nav, however, afterwards examined the charges and decided that the facta proved dia not constitute the offence of theft, but embezzle- ment, and asthe defendant had not been charged with embezzlement in the court martial he was not legally convicted. The Secretary of the Navy, therefore, directed that Bogart should be deliver: to the United States Court. BOGART CHARGES THE PAYMASTER WITH SPECU- LATING WITH GOVERNMENT MONEY. Mr. Place yesterday read, in support of his mo- tion, the ailidavit of Bogart himself, who was present in court. Bogart set forth in his attidayit that, had he known at the time of the first trial the facts Which appeared on the court martial, he ceuld have made a perfect defence; that it was shown on the court martial that Clark failed to account for some $20,000 government money, made alterations in the books, and operated with the money in Wail | street with Swan & Payson, brokers. Deponent also denies haying taken anything, Mr. Place also read the sifidavit of Charles B. Pearson, bookkeeper of Swan & Payson, slowing an account of A. J. Vlark on their books covering an amount of some $53,000, wherein 13 a balance of some $300 due the firm. Assistant District Attorney Jobn J. Allen appeared for the government and opposed the motion. He first read the affidavit of W. B. Alexander, a mem- ber of the firm of Swan & Payson, setting forth that BOGART OPENED THE ACCOUNT IN CLARK’S NAMB with bis (Bogart’s) own che that they never had any transactions Wiih Clark and never saw or knew such a person. oe fog res Clark’s affidavit was also read, in which be claimed that ne never operated in Wail street with Swan & Payson, and that there never was any failure to account for funds entrusted to him a3 paymaster, except those taken by 4 Deponent turther alleged that Bogart left on the 1st of December, 1568, taking with him $9,725; that an examination of the books revealed the fact that there were allerations in Bogart’s handwriting, cov- ering an amount of some $15,000 more; that BOGART HAD CONFESSED TO HIM tha®be had altered the books and lost the money in Wall street; that he was sorry for what he had done, and described how he had gone to work. It also appeared from this affidavit that Clark 1ound Bogart doing = in Galveston under the name tp. P. Boga The last affidavit read was that of J. M. Bogley, a friend of both Bogart and Ciark. He swore that Bo- rt had revealed to hun howhe had taken the joney and how he had lost it in Wall street. Bogart said ve would make it all rightif he could, but was unable to do #0, and that he intended to make a mo- ton for a new trial, lis only object in getting one being to GET OUT OF THK COURT THE $2,000, the proceeds of the sale of Is horses and other per- sonal property, which were attached at the com- mencement of this suit, and leave tue country with ‘his family, Mr. Allen also introduced the records of the court martial and the report of the Secretary of the Navy, alter which Judge Benedict took the papers in the case and reserved his decision, NEW YORK CITY. ‘The following record will show the changes tn the temperature for the past twenty-four hours in com- parison with the corresponding day of last year, as indicated by the thermometer at Huadnuvs Phar. macy, ABERALD Buliding, corner of Aun street:— 1s70. 1871. bie eg = 23% Average temperature for corresponding date 23% Jast year.......... eons Mr. Algernon §.

PORT AU PRINCE, Deo. 23, 1870, The substance of the Message presented oy the President of the United States to Congress was re ceived here in Cuba and Jamaica on the 11th inst The first intelligence of the Message was eagerly looked for, and from the well known sentiments of President Grant on the subject of annexation, the manner in which he would treat it gave rise to much and varied argument. t is mot too much to say thas all were tolorably well prepared for that portion of his Message which touched upon the question of annexation, an, in spite of being well prepared for the worst, the burst of indignation which the publi- cation of the Message called forth surprisea even those who were expecting the most intense excitement their fancy could picture. The first news of the Message arrived by telegraph, and in an instant the city was ablaze. The position taken by President Grant was violently denounced, ana impromptu meetings were called and largely at tended. The supposed schemes of the United States the obtaining of the Island of Hayti were tn- ‘eighed against in unmeasured language, and reso- lutions were passed denouncing them. The people unmediately resolved to defend their repubiio to the last, and volunteer regiments were at once formed for that purpose. And on the occasion of the anni- versary of the taking of Port au Prince by the existing government volunteer mill- tla to the number of 3,000 paraded im the public squares, and were presented with new colors, which they received and resolved to defend with the most unbounded enthusiasm, Subsequent- ly the news arrived here that the United states Senate had voted fer the annexation of the Kasterm provinces in the so-called Dominican republic. This intensified the already existing excitement; public meetings were called and largely atvended, the people generally declaring their intention of resisting to the last any attemps to coerce them into annexation. Resolutions were carried with entuusiasm renewing allegiance to the existing — republican — government and declaring the intention of the Haytiens to save the United Stites the troable ef conquering the cit by burning and abandoning it. ‘The teeling now that the frst intimatian on the part of the United States to enforce annexation, whicu 1s not desired 1a these parts, will be tie signal Tur the destruction of the towns and their total abandonment by the peo- plé, who will flee to the mountains and organise @ system of the most inveterate guerilla warfare, which they are resolved upon carrving out to the extermination of the whole Haytien people before they wiil submit to the shame of annexation, as pro- posed by the Deminicans, Itis sald here tiat some secret correspondence bas passed between the United States Mi and the government of Hayti, which was the cause of the steamer City of Port au Prince, hay been de- tained here a week longer than usual. The natare of this correspordence nas not transpired, but Tumor ts rife about it, and the wildest conjectures are heard. itis not believed that our government will lend itself to any proposals which may be made through the United States Minister; but vigorous measures will be takem if they should do so, and the government have in consequence beeu calied upon ut large meetings of influential citizens to deciare their views om the pending questions and to take strong mei for securing the independence of Haytt, The Hayuens say that “annexauon of any part of the island means war on Hayu.? ‘They must be conquered through a series of gaeriila wariare, which they will carry on with @ bitter animosity be- fore they will succutib, and tien only to renew the contest whenever and wherever they may be pre- pared to do so. On tne receipt of the inteiligence of the tenor of President Grant's Message gold, which was guoted at 200, immediately rose Lo Ziv, anda genera: panic was feared. For a time the wildest rumors were cir- culated as news, and it Was generally felt that the United States was about embarking in another Mexican war. The expression of public feel ng bas been so strong that the goverament has de- cided upon calling togetier the National Assembly and asking tuem for an expres- sion of opinion in the matier, It is confideatly expected that the Assembly will unanimously pro- nounce against the Annexation of any portion ‘of the isiand, wich 1s here considerea to mean the ane nexation of the whole or the licensed interlerence of Cabral and otlier maicontents iu the atfairs of the Hayuen repubito, which will at once reduce them to the state of interngoime warfare, trom which they have so receutly recovered, or would compel them, as & means of self-preservation, to join forces with Cabral in opposition to their invaders, A SINGULAR INCIDENT IN A DIVORCE SUIT. {From the Troy (N. Y.) Wing, Jan. 3.) Snsan M. Bonce, daughter of James A. Hayward, of this city, commenced a suit for divorce before Judge Ingaiis some time ago against her husoand, Joun BH, Bence, on the ground of adultery. ‘The couple lived in Wateriord, afterwards in Lai burg. cueionts ago a family guarrel occuri Which resulted in the wife leaviag the house ef her husband and waking with her a chiid and ieaving ope, @ small bey, with the faiuer. ‘fhe wile came te this city to the house of her parents, where the child died. ‘The father subsequently moved to New York city aud has since resided there. AS we before stated, Mrs. Bonce comm nced for divorce in this cliy. ingals, for some reason unknown to us, transterred the case to Justin Kellogg as referee. Monday, the oth uil., the case was opened by the prosocution, who presented as the first witness in the case @ woman named Jane DeBar, ailas Jane Marshall. Tins woman, it seems, Was @ servant girl for Mr. and Mrs, bonce, at their house in Lansingburg, for the short period of one day and one night. Jane testi- fied that Mr. Bonce committed an outrage upon ner on the night of December 1s, 1567. After this testl- movy, on motion of the defendant, the case was postponed until the 7th of January. On last Monaay Mr. Honce ana his atworney actively engaged them- selves in procuring evidence to contradict what a claim was a false statement. In this they deem themselves successiul. A warrant was accordingly sworn out in Lansingburg for the arrest of Jane on tae charge of perjury. The warrant was placed in tae hands of Sergeant Allen, of this city, on Friday, who found Jane im Wiiltam street alley. When @rrested Jane made a statement admitting the charge ol per- jury. Sue stated to the sergeant that Mr. tayw: father-in-law of Mr. Bonce, bad paid her flity dole Jara {or swearing as she did, and that he had paid her board for the past year and made ber a present of @ pair of slippers. The result of the examination will be found detailed in the lollowing communica tion, written, as will be seen, by @ fricnd of Mrs. Bonce. ‘The statements made are lor te most part true. The reader wiil be able to judge wnere preja- dice in favor of 4 friend may, perhaps, have wi the judgment of the writer, u8 when he speaks of the threats, &c., employed to mfucnce Mrs. VeBar:— On Friday evening Jast Mrs. DeBar was arrested, denied permission to see any one, and through threats and otherwise was induced to say What sie testified to was untroe, and thas si had been bribed to secrecy, aud & Warrant was also issued (ox Albert Hayward | for subornation of perjury. An order waa forwarded to bring the partes before Judge Jugalis, where bail was given for Mr. Hayward and also ogered for Mrs, DeBar, provided she sald she bad testified to the truth before the referee; but she was not in a condition te talk, and she was suosequentiy to Lansingburg, where counsel employed by mr, Honce appeared for her, and before Justice Hearman had her say what she before tesafled to to was faise. During all the pertod vefore Judge Ingails and Justice Hearman she was cryipg, and her supposed answers given by some ef tne parties or the counsel While Mrs, DeBar was under arrest Mrs. Bonce’s counsel asked permission to see her jn the presence of a ee of the police, or any one except Bonce and his friends, and notwithstanding her excelent coa- dition this privilege was denicd. On Sunday lass Mrs. Debar was cailed upon at the Jall,.in company. with George J, Brenpan, Coroner, ana John in Hiclmes, Deputy Sheri. She then made an amdavit hefore Mr. Breanan that what she had testifled to before Mr. Kellogg, referee, was tne; that sue Aad not been hired to swear falsely, and thatif sne bad stated or sworn differently since her arrest 1t was decause she Wus UNCODSCIOUS Of Wad she Was dali and that she had communwated the facts sworn by her before the referee to other members of Mr. Hayward’s famtly before she had spoken %o him about it, Mrs. DeBaris now sick at the full, and Ide not believe the pudlic 18 credulous eAough ta think Mr. Hayward ever bribed the Witness, or that, @ person swearing to 4 falsehood would remain In a olly iL ie Iphone afterwards. ‘Other evi lence Will be given in the ease corrobckating Mra, DeBar’s testimony.
