SHELBYVILLE, Cleveland Co., N. C. rit May 16, 1871, ‘The great Ku Klux trial nas to-day ignominiously Aizzled out, It 1s not yet finally ended, but owing to the inability or reluctance of the witnesses to attend, the case bas been postponed until the 25th of July, The marshals appointed last evening to arrest the absent witnesses for contempt of court, and bring them to Shelby, willy-nilly, miserably failed in their mission. They siarted on good horses last night, almost immediately after the ad- journment of the court, for Rutherfordton, a dis- tance of twenty-six miles, and got there about three o'clock in themorning: At daylight they took Bigger- staff and his daughter, Mrs, Norville, into custody, and soon afterwards found and arrested the now famous Carpenter (Judge Losan’s clerk and the editor of the Rutherford Scar), at the Superior Coart room, Where, it 1s said, he had beea Wasting the mid- night oll in fxing up some two hundred warrants, &¢., necessary for the carrying out of the live crusade ‘that is now to be inuugurated in Rutherford county against the Ku Klux. Biggerstaf! pleaded sickness aga ground for non-aticndance at the court, bus stated in addition that he would not attend anyhow, as he thought it would not be sate for him to do 60, A couple of physicians were called and furnished certificates’ that he was really not in a fit state to travel. Mrs. Norville, while this medical examina- tion was going on, contrived to slip away from the custo-ly of tue marshais, and, im the parlance of the ountry, * eas TAKEN TO TITER WooDs.” That means that she will stay round at friendly houses, rarcly stopping two successive days 10 one Place, and at the first approach of danger literally going into hiding in some coavenient patch of camo aiseon- solately into shelby this afceruoon with but one wit- ness, Carpenter. ‘The town was animated yesterday, but to-day It ‘Was iu the last agony of excitement. The thirty reputed Ku Klux were here sul, of course, wegether ‘With so:ne thirty or forty witnesses for their defeace. We had also largely increased numbers of COUNTRY FOLK, who, having heard that the trial would positively come off to-day, had made up their minds to come Anw town to see the fun. ‘There could not have been Jess than two or three hundred men here ultogether— no laconsiderab!e part of the adult population of the county, which only casts a vote of about fifteen hundred, I have been at some pains to find out the indirect persecution which this trial nas caused. First of all must be taken the privations and pecutary losses which the thirty prisocers ana their witnesses have had to safer, They are all poor fariners, and some of them are simply tenants of other men. (Others have been dragged from twenty to twenty-five miles to court and detained hero a couple of days, !u the busiest season of the year, when their 1avor represents from turee to five dol- farsa day, A good number of them are too poor to own borses aud have had to walk. Worse still, some of thelr FEMALY RELATIVES ‘Whose prpsence has been necessary for thelr ae- fence have had fo foot it all the weary twenty miles, gave where they could get a tift in some friendly wagon. Arrived here, men aad wowen have either camped outin their wagons, if they had any, or have had to rely upon the kiudaess of the citizens for shelter, as they haye no money to pay for accommodations. Al the hotel where ! of) staying, however, the landlord gratesGusiy gave se the Women o bly T90M “vnich Is, used for bails and mectings, Suu they slept on the bare floor, For iuey have had only the supplies of corn bread ‘und bacon witch they brought from their homes. Most of the farmers Who have come into see the Irlal have had to make a day’s journey, and all have lost the five dollars Which to-day's labor at this sea- son of the year is worth to them. Perhaps it may be said that they might bave stayed at home aud waited to hear the result of tie trial, But you can have no idea of the painful itcrest which these 1g3 Wave created all turough the county, y prisoners to be arrested at one time is altogether without local precedent, aud there is a gencral sentient of mdignation at the attempt mow mae to make Cleyeland bear, as it were, the FIRST SHOCK OF THE CRUSADE against the iu Klux 2nd to stanip it as a specially murderous and disorderly district. It 1s not charged Uhat there his been a single fatal case of Ru Kiux outrage mie district, aud in the few cases where Whippings have been inficted the victims have, ac- wording to the rude notions of justice pecuhar to the rustic mind, not only in North Carolina, but ali over ‘this counwy, richiy deserved them. In Meariy every case the oijence has been aduitery or the keeping of ‘@ house of ill fame, or misoegenation, A geatieman of igh charactor and respectability, who is charged at Rutherford with beiag one o1 the principal lead- ers of the Cleveland Ku Klux, to-day pledged me dus personal houor shat he haa not heard of a Single instance in which even the remote cause of this lawlessness bad beea poiltical, He also de- lored the Occurrence of suc outbreaks, aad sald wand othera had used every effort to stop them. The general character of the county ts excelicnt. The lust case of murder occurred tea years ago. It 4s, perhaps, ite akg A natural that the inhabi- fants of Cleveland should wonder why they nave vecn thus singled out by the United States govern- acut (or exemplary punishment, The worst feature iu the whole matter, however, 4s the fact, which is DOW perfectly patent, that the compinivants have never been in earnest, and that tue only object of these proceediiys has been to MANUFACTURE POLITICAL GANITAL an to annoy and harass the prisoners, eigut of whom, a8 I stated yesterday, are Kinsmen ot Biggerstal. There can be no deubrthat Bigger- stall Was whipped some weeks ago, but it seems now almost equally clear that he 1s very unwilling to come into court aad have the motive for ma Sep ie ventilated. 1 18 stil! claimed by him and his friends that his fe would be endangered by his appearance here, and they point triumphantly to the second outrage on him last Friday, which bas ow grown into a perfectly terrible siory, and has received some additional exciting detatls, inciading among others an altempt on the part of his sssail- anis WH haag hun, He siated at Grst that ots arm ‘was brokeu tn one, and perhaps in two places, but Unis part of his story has been disproved, and | can- fot but think, from present appearances, that the eutire account 18 very apocryphal 1 Jeave for Rutherford to-morrow, and shall see hin, and hear how he stands a cross-examination on lis just published aildavit. No a nee man in Sbeivy can doubt, however, that his original excuse lor not coming here to testify—“that his life would be impertiled”. & very bad one, Perhaps dhe may houestly think 60, but he is ceriainly gready mistaken. Jils oiber excuse of the critical condi- tion of hts health is scarcely auy better, There are sworn uMdivats that he has been seen walking avuut the streets of Rutheriord, aud the faugue of being gently drivev in a coach twonty uilles is not very exhausting. As to Mra. Norville, her escape 1s simply an outrage upon the dignity of a United a es court Wich should be properly punished. 0 PROCEEDINGS IN COURT to-day were very brief. Tho District Attorney stated that owing to the abseuce of the necessary ‘witnesses the prosecution were unable to go on. and the counsel jor the defence thereupon moved to dis- c atter represeuting the hard. ships and pecuulary losses to which they i bee subjected, and showing that they had already been twice arrested for the same alleged offence in other courts, and were at preseut under bonds to appear elsewhere to answer for it, ‘Nhe District Attorney stated that the United States Nt EY Were a3 auxious as (he defeniants pro- essed to be that the case should be tried. Tne medical certificate Was a sufficient excuse for big gerstad’s abseuce, and the government would take the necessary measures for having the case fully in- vestigated, if an adjourumeut were ited. ‘The Commissioner then adjourned the case until the 25th July next. and took bonds of $00 each Srom tue prisoners for their appearance.

Dauxas, N. 0., May 14, 1871. The HeRawp’s reputation for rapidity in gathering all news of importance and making intelligent com- Ments upon It cannot be injured by publishing one letter that may be somewhat delayed. This is writ ten Sunday morning and cannot be mailed, In regu- lar course, before Tuesuay evening, Ihe object of it 8 to give an account of the proceedings heid at the court house in this place on yesterday. Judge Lo- gan, @ man tn very batt odor here among people in general, and for whom the whole bar has a sove- reign contempt, entered a rule iast Monday, debar- ring David Schenck from the privileges of a practis- ing attorney for an alleged contempt of court. The respondent was required by the rule to appear in court on Saturday to show cause why the rule should not be enforced. The day having arrived and cours assembled, his Honor satd:—"I am ready now for the case of D. Schenck.” Mr. Wilson, one of the counsel for respondent, said his side was also prepared, and then proceeded to enter respondent's plea. Judge Logan asked if 1t were sworn to, “No,” replied Mr. Wilson; “we—my brothers of the bar and myself—have decided, after deliberate consultation and thorough study of the authorities on the subject, that it is a case in which your Honor has no Jurisdiction. I will read the plea, your Honor, and—" “I cannot hear to.” “We think, your Honor, that your Honor has no Tight to require an oath in this matter; that recent legislation bas taken the jurisdiction of such mat- ters out of your Honor’s hands, 1t 1s possible, your Honor, that your Honor has not seen the act to which Tallude, an act passed by the last Legislature, and which 1 will read to your Honor,?? ‘The Judge consented to Its reading, and, although he piamly showed his ignorance on the act, ag soon as Mr. Wilson commenced reading the law he began to write, evincing that the contempt of the bar for him was by him fully reciprocated. The act read by Mr, Wilson was singularly clear, and Was passed to meet just such a case a3 it now so fully dia meet. Yet this fine specimen of the judi- cial mule still holds bis opinion against thé argu- meuts of the best eat intellect in the State. Mr. Whson, who opened the case, made a moat forcible ech. He deeply regretted that any diicult; shoula have arisen’ between tho bar and the judl- cary. His manner evinced earnest feeling, and lis argument was powertul enough to convince every one iu court but the Judge, who has consittuted himself both judge and jury. But as this ts the age Ol outrage, Drobabty this particular outrage should be recal:ed to memory. . On the 1:th of April Senator Nye, tn order to hasten tue passage of the Ku Kiux bill, read a letver parce to have been received from Judge G. W. gan, of Rutherfordton, N. O,, in which tt was rep- resented that Western North Carolina was in a state of insurrection and that Judge Logan was afraid to meet his court appointment in Shelby, Immediately alter the reading of this letter that abomimatioa of abominations known as the Ku Klux bill was passed by the Senate. Thus a communication ema- nating from this oficer of the judiciary was largely tustrumental in effecting the passage of a law giving the finishing strokes to the liberty Of America. This law will accomplish all that law ACs complish in fre Beggs | the Lone sad, weary, almost heart-broken efforts the Southern people have made acquire the peace promised them when they surrendered thelr arms at Appomattox, And now forbearance cau no longer be here, in thig weary land, # human virtue, Are the people of the Nortn so ignorant? They cannot be. Norsoiull of spite. And they cannot much Jonger be apathetic. Gecause the liverty o! the South was once aged erushed, we cannoi belleve here that the peopic of the North are williug to sur- render theirs in order to see ours eatirely crashed, No; there is to be au awakening. And as it is dark- est beforo Gawn, We must needs think that the dawn is nearly come. When this tafamous bill was passed by Co! and when was known to North Carolina the in- famous means that fad beea resorted to in order to secure Its passage Schenck wrote lumediatel; to Mr, Blair aa low sated 8. aa : NOOLNTON, April 21, 1871, lon, FRA P. Busia :— Dan Sin—1 welts to jnform you that the communicsto by Senator Neve ou ths from Judge (i) Logan la gated madi fax bill, 4 ‘the Cleveland court. On Moa- ggerstail, a pliant tool of nis, had boem whipped by pariiee who retaliated upon bisa for ‘abooting at bis own brother and endeavoring }o assasynate hin, Tuere was uo politics in it—purely a fatnil feud; but Logan cummoned $0) men and had them armed, and paraded around bis bouso and arrested some forty per: sons on stispicion of complicity, not one of whom, as every ue knows, had auything to do with ft. At tho same time he despatched an “Friday,” one Carceater, to report to Wasuingion, and he remained at home, and the report was clrouated that bo was afraid’ to leave bomo Cisvelund court, The citizens of Cleveland at once & public mecting, assuring. him Of protection, and sent sheriff to eacorthim to Shelby. Mark his reply, “He nol at all afraid, but was siaying to investigate the ping," aad that he would come when he got through, caving the court and He to lose time and money he waa dolog magisirate’s duty at bome. The soiictior, Coionel Byoum, a republican, strongly deuounced him, and wrote him au urgent letter to come. ‘The very day Senator N n'a communication in the Sonate, saying he it to Cleveland, came with- cefully, if not it, Mr. Wilson, unless it is sworn je out of Whole ¢.oth to eld court as p more peacefully, was held before. ‘This Logan 1s a Ignorant, corrupt, vile man, whom no on respects, and for whom the whole bar have a'sovercign con- tempt. Yours, very truly and gratefully, UD. SCHENCK. This hastily written letter was published in the Pairiot ot Washington city shortly alter it bad been received by Mr. Blair, and was also copied by North Caroiina journals, under the heading ot “Photograph of a Ra‘lical Judge.” ‘Vue people here all know thut when Judge Logan did reach Shelby, whither he came without escort, that he held court “ag peacefully, if not more peacefully, than ever was held before.” He foliowed this by another very eacctul week at Lincolnton. But on reaching alias he saw the above letter, and knowing how well deserved and how truthful was this refutation of his base slanders on his native State, he became mulish, and from indications intends to remain 80, A (oh pass this coun- try has reached, surely, when such @ man can have a law passed that will affect the well-being of ali the Southern States, and sunder the last claim vhe American people North, South, Kast and West had on liberty. And theu, because the calumny on the State has been reiuted by a memper of the bar who attended the very court Where the insurrection was said to provail, this Judge (Heaven save tho mark |) must entero rule saspenaing him from the Bynctiee of hiy profession, thereby depriving him of is means of subsistence. The calmness wad deci sion of Logan jn this matter, after hearing the Glourest kind of argument, slows very plainly that he is paras, on the President's promise of bayonets, and that, as he was of some force In having the Ku Klux bill passed, he intends to reap whatever of beuefit the bill may confer. There was o largo array of the legal talent of North Carolina here yesterday, and tho Outire bar sustain Mr. Schenck, Mr. Wilson was followed by Mr. Hay- wood W. Guion (the reputed author of The Comet,” @ work which has attracted great attenuon in the astronomical world), Who mado a masterly effort and showed very piuinly that there is some of the right spirit left in the old Jand yet, and that bis rights shall ot be trampied upon without leaving a slinging Rrotest behind him.

SANDWICH ISLANDS. The Rival Steamship Lines—A Chance for Another St. Domingo Commission— Shipments of Produce. Honotvnv, May 1, 1871. ‘Tne past two weeks have been notable ones in the history of these isiands. Among the arrivals at this port have been three ocean steamers, representing two rival lines, competing for the freight and pas- senger trafic between the continénis of America and Australia. American interests are supposed to centre in the Webb line, made up of the Nevada, Ne- traska, Dacotah and Santiago de Cuba—all side- wheel boats, British interests are represented by the Wouga-Wonga, City of Melbourne and Cily of Ade- Jaide—ali propellers, This line will leave Sydney once @ month and proceed to the Fiji Islands, from thence ‘to this port, and from here to 8an Fraucisco, These boats, catled the Hall line, will doubtless recelve a Mberal subsidy irom the New South Wales govern- ment, and will also receive the subsidy offered by tis government, Itis safe to say that the vantage is with the British line, for many reasons, among which may be counted the better adaptability of the boats for the service—not but that the American boats offer the most comfortable accommodations for passengers, but because the British boats are propellers, sit lower in the water, and have none of the towering top-hamper which distinguish the American boats. The propellers roll less, no mean consideration atter the experience of the passengers by the Nevada from San Francisco ta this port, Again, the British boats can be run at much less ex- pense, and last, but not least, the sympathy of the colonists and of a large portion of the community is decidedly in favor oi the Hall line, To illustrate how far this ia the case I will state an incident that came under my observation, The passengers of the Wonga-Wonga had bitter complaint to make against the treatment they received at the hands of the cap- tain, and were ailvised to publish a statement of their grievances, but deciined, not wishing to in- jure the reputation of the ne, preferring rather to see the agent, and have the captain reprimanded or removed. Tne British residents in this city use their club in the interests of the Hall live, and readily obtain the ear of our ofll- clals, and will, without doubt, succced in getting for that lime the $25,000 offered by tms government, Tho ones brought up 105 passengers this trip, who have been transferred to ihe American propeiler Ajax, of the old [ollada: line. ‘The City gf Adolnid glue next monih, will Tun through in Fraucisco, Yrom 8 weed pense 1 gather that some excite-° ment prévailed in that city, caused vy a teiegram front the Colonial Secretary in London to the elfect that a company of filiousters would leave the United States for che purpose of revolutionizing the nies. Preparations were made to give tiem a wai reception. Batteries were placed, ships-of-war de- tailed t» watch the coming Nevada, and a commit tee appointed to carry out an elaborate system of detence., ‘The passengers by the Wouga were most curious to asceltatn the number of passengers that went down in the Nevada, and when they learned Uiat less than fifty was the number they had the ap- pearance of men badly sold, The St. Domingo annexation scheme has been watched with no little interest by Americaus In this group, many Lelleving that St. Domingo would more than satisfy the demands of the Americans who de- Sire tropical territory, and that our chances tor obtaluing a hearing would thus become quite Insignificant.

The American Baptist Home Missionary Society met yesterday morning in Farwell Hall. The at- tendance of delegates and spectators was large. In the absence of the presiding officer the chair was filled by Hon, Willan Bushweil, of Philadelphia, The report of the Executive Committee shows, since the organization of the society, over 700 mis- sionarics have been commissioned. The work of the society 1s divided into wiree departments— Northern, Southern and Church Edifices, The mis+ sionaries of the Northern department labor in twenty- eight States and Territories, In the Southern de- partment over f hundred missionaries have been employed during the year, During the discussion on the report of the Southern department an acri- montous feeling was aroused by the remarks of several of the Southern delegates regarding slavery.

A Man Dies in Bellevae Hospital of a Frac- tored Skull—Who Did It? Of late there has been an unusual number of deaths from injuries recelved in some manner un- known, and the police, after making ivesigations, seem unable to dispel the mystery surrounding the cases, Another of these mysterious deaths 1s now added to the list. A few days ago John Anderson, a man sixty-three years of age, of irregular habits, was admitted to Bellevue Hospital on a permit from the Superintendent of outdoor Poor. An- derson, who bad lived atJé Baxter street, seemed to be sutfering [rom an excess of hiquid poison, He sank gradually and died on Saturday, and Coroner Bchirmer was notified to hold an inquest.

Ainsworth’s ‘Jack Sheppard” isin ftself a very romantic and dangerously seductive history of a notorious desperady, and it becomes more attractive by the splendid manner in which it ts placed on the stage of the Ulympic.

In explana- tion of these poinis the speaker stated that tue object of the theatre was not the making of money, but the promotion of German theatrical art in this city, The programme caused soine discus- si0n, in which Messrs, Wesendouck, Oswald Otten- dorfer, Dr. Samuel Sewards, Sigismuud Kaufmann and others participated, and Was finally adopted, it was resolved that when $200,000 suiall have been subseribed a general meeting of the subscribers will be called for thé election of a Board of Dtrec- tors. Lists for subscriptions were spread and 17 shares at $100 each, amounting in ail to $10,700, were subscribed in a short time, e following commitice for procuring further sw iy as appointed:—Messrs.

Amid ‘the mass of musical publications that weekly come to our desk, very few original Ameri- can works can ve found at present. The few which may be called exceptions to the general rule are not by any means upto the former standard of excel- lence, and, as @ general thing, do not reflect credit on our country. We have spoken frequently before of the Union Monopoly, alias the Board of Music Trade, and their persisteat efforts to crush and stamp out all native talent, Regarding the members of this BoarJ, we must give them @ chance to be heard. According to their statements certain well kuown composers have re- cetved from them the fullest pecuniary acknowledg- ment of the value of thelr works. For instance, Mr. Pond nas pala Mr. J. R, Thomas hundreds upon hundreds of dollars for some of his works, and Mr. Perring has been fully indemnified for his excellent nd widely popular song, “Beware.’’ No expla- nation has been made by other publishers regard- ing the continual complaints of the composers who supply them with materials for their business, After all there must be some foundation for these complaints, We know from experience that no de- pendence can be placed on the returns made by some of the publishers, and that the system, as it exists at present, is susceptible of fraud in every sense of the word. Probably Boston is responsible for a large share in ths fraud, as composers generally complain of the unfair dealing of the musical aposties of the ‘Hub.’ ‘The younger houses and the agents of foreign firms have done much for some time past to stem this tide of corruption and monopoly, and their suc- ceas 13 a striking evidence of the popular sentiment in the matter. J. N. Pattison & Co., Ernest Rein- king and Boosey, of London, have attained during the past year @ position and popularity that is aue to their desire to deal with the public in a liberal and conscientious manner. They have carried through successfully the system of cheap and good music, and instead of charging exorbitant rates for home and foreigu composition they place the best works within the reach of all. Ditson & Co., of Boston, have broken the rules of the ring by issuing @ cheap and excellent edition of the popular operas, for which likely they will be catled to an account at the next meeting of the Board of Music Trade. We have spoken of tue de- terioration ot American musical publications, and find anu excellent reasoa for it in the fact that the monopolists have driven our best composers out of tae field, Some of our oest resident musicians have told us over and over again that they are discouraged from writing or publishing auything, for the simple reason that the publishers willreap the eutire benefit from their roductions, This state of things must, sooner or iter, come toan end macommanity like others, and the sooner the better, Compositions should be marketable commodities like any over ciass of oods, and & composer should not be subjected to insult when he presents areal salable work to a publisber, and be rebufied as if he were a mendl- cant, For this reason solely we adopt the cause of the younger pubiishers, who seem to understand the situation thorougiiy. Ernest Keinking, Fourth avenue, has added the following publications of the German Peters to his immense collection of classicai and popular WOrs8:— “Duet Album,” comprises twenty vocal operatic duets of the very highest standard, there being nine by Mozart, three by Weber, three by Spohr, two by Beethoven apd the rest by Schumann, Weigl and Carala. “Schumann Album," contains the three classes of songs by that renowned composer, which are Known under the tties of *Liederkreis,” ‘‘Frauenliebe uud Leben” and “Dichior Lieoe.”” Both of these editions are complete and very handsome in appearance. Another collection from the same house 1s @ num- ber of transcriptions by Victor Felix.

It was evidently uvknown to Sir Walter Scott when he wrote the novel. Lord Selkirk Is the representative of the family of Dun- bar, of Baldoon, and has the family papers in his possession. It was in arranging these that acci- dentally he came upon this contract of marriage. ‘The four signatures are:—David Dunbar (the bride- groom), Janet Dalrymple (the bride), James Dunbar (bride's father), Baldoon (bridegroom's father). A Juc-simiie has been taken of the document, and will be published in the centenary edition of the Waver- ley novels now preparing in London, Mr. BLANCHARD JERROLD 13 about to publish, under the general witie of “The Best of All Good Company,” a sertes of Days’? with eminent authors.

The Israelit (newspaper) of Mayencé, derives the word German from the name of the eldest son of Japhet, Gomer. It says that “one of the oldest Ara- malic transiauions of the Bible, the ‘Targans Jera- shalim,’ faisely ascribed to Jonathan ben Usid, speaks of ‘Germania’ as one of the countries tn which Gomer’s descendants were living. That bya simple metathesis ‘Gomer’ has become converted into ‘German’ ts clear to any one who knows Hebrew, The Babylonian faimuu, too (Jona of 10), aud the Talmud ‘Jerushatim,’ in the first chapter of the ' treatise ‘Megillah,’ describe ‘Germania’ as the resi- dence of the descendanis of Gomer, We cannot here omit to observe that the eldest son of Gomer 18 called In the Bible Askenas, and that in Jewish literature, as well as in the popular language, this name is commonly used for Germany. Now, the Ascanians are, if not the oldest, at least one of the oldest of the German dynastic families, * * Hence it would follow that tho descendants of Gomer, called after their ancestor ‘Gomrans’ or ‘Germans,’ settled under the direciion of Askenas, the eldest son of Gomer, in the country which they then called ‘Germania.’ THE NEWARK TURNPIKE MURDER. Arrest of the Brother of the Mardered Mau on Suspicion—Sluggishness of tue Authorl- ties, | dead, made and Only four days have elapsed since the appailing murder of poor Tom Mahoney, of Jersey Cily, was discovered, and to-day the terrible tragedy seems to have been forgotten, a3 far ag the authorities aro concerned. The unfortunate man was dogged by some avaricious and blood thirsty wretch who, to secure possession of Mahoney's hard-earned savings, | brutally murdered nim and threw him into a ditch, The body was discovered by @ man named Connors, who was driving along the Newark plank road, aud it was conveyed to Jersey City, Au tnquest—or what was termed an inguest—was held, and it may be stated without exaggeration that such a hasty, imperfect investigation in a case of murder has not been held ia the State within the memory of any | man living. Four witnesses in ail were examined, One of these was Connor, who found tue body; two were brothers of the deceased, and knew little or nothing about the case except to identify the body, and the fourth was County Physician Prendergast, whose testimony was indispensable, The Coroner doubtiess thought his duty ended here, and may be excusavle on the plea of inexperience.

It has been the uniform practice of coroners ta Hudson county to adjourn all inquests in cases of murder from Uute to time tll ail the sources of information are exhausted, The inquest on the body of Lawrence, in Hoboken, occupied several weeks. Later stil, Coroner Burns, in the Datfeldecker case, not only emploved the shrewiest detectives, but offered a reward of fifty dollars out of his owa purse for any Information that would lead to the discovery of the murderer, It waa further expected that Mayor O'Neill would OFFER A REWARD in this case, and that detectives would be employed as weil in Newark as Jerscy City before the mar- derer Would have an opportunity to escape.

WASHINGTON, May 21, 1871, ‘The indicattons are that the Treaty of Washington will be ratified by “the Senate without amendment, It is not expected that the Execuuve session of the Senate will Jast longer than a week. On Saturday Mr. Howe spoke tn favor of tne ratification of the treaty as it stands, and deprecated the idea of amending it. Garrett Davis and Mr, Casserly are to speak on Monday. It is understood that they will oppose the ratification of the treaty, and itis said that ALL THE DEMOCRATS IN THR SENATS have come to tie cuncluston to oppoze it. On the other hand, the adiinistration Senators are anxious to have the measure pushed through as s00n as pos= sible, aud it 13 believed they can command the re- quisite majority to do 60, PROMINENT SENATORS say the debate on the pending treaty has been con ducted with perfect fairness, and that none of their fellow members have shown the least disposition to delay unnecessarily final action upon it, The Com- mittee on Foreign Relations, at their four or five meetings, spent in the aggregate about twenty hours in the exumtnation of the treaty 10 order to acquire a full knowleage of its provisions and give such explanations ay might be desired during the discussion upon it in executive sesslou.

The English members of the Commission and General Scheack have engaged their passage in the Cuba, and if the Senate ratifies the treaty in time it will be sent to New York vy special messenger on ‘Tuesday evening, It is expected that before the Senate adjourns the President will send ta for confirmation the name of the member who fs to represent the United States in THE COMMISSION OF ARBITRATION on the Alabama claims, which is to eet in Geneva, as provided in the treaty, and there is a rumor to- night that he intends to nominate Mr. Fish, ‘There being some misapprehension in the minds of Senators as to the course pursued in Great Britain with refercace to treaties, one of them ap- plied for information to Earl ae Grey, who said that treaties are in that country RASIFiED BY THB CROWN, and that the ratification can not be vitiated or set aside by the Parliament, before whom treaties are laid for thetr information.
