It wil) be remembered that the entire of the previous day was occupied in empan- elling a yury, and after the required twelve were se- ured the proceedings were adjourned until yes- terday morning at ten o'clock. As on former occa- | sions a jarge crowd of would-be sightseers congre- gatea outside the court room, but were not per- mitted to witness what was taking place within. Mr. William F. Howe, the prisoner's counsel, who ‘waa indisposed yesterday and could not appear, was early on hand, looking all the better for his brief at- tack of illness. His junior associate sat beside him, ‘while at tne left hand side of botn the principal in ‘she trial ROSENZWEIG, surnamed the man with the colossal cranium, occu- “pied a seat. District Attorney Garvin was in attend- ‘ance, and sat composedly interweaving his fingers, While his able assistant, Algernon S. Sullivan, was Jeaning back on a chair reflecting the light of bis Brilliant orvs on the irontispiece of his associate, Garvin. Recorder Hackett surveyed the entire scene from ‘the elevation of tne bench, and listened attentively as the District Attorney prepared to deliver his pening address to the jury, who were in their places shoruy after the court room was opened. The horrible trunk, in which was packed for ‘wansportation the remains of the unfortunate Miss Bowlsby, was brought into court, and kept to be putin as evidence against the accused, It is an oraiary sized trunk, and apparently almost new.

Of course it was the object of wurlosity and scrutiny, At # quarter-past ten ex-Judge Garvin arose and Proceeded to address the twelve men sitting in judgment on the wretched prisoner. He briefly ree capitulated the enormity of the crime charged, and wtated to the jury what lie expected to prove on the part of the people. They, the prosecution, would prove that the deceased left her aunt’s honse in Newark on the 23d day of August, 1871, and that he entered the dark, fearful dem of tne ‘ecused. They would also prove that she wis mever seen alive after entering this den. Her body Was afterwards sent from the house in the trunk, then lying under the stenographer’s desk, but none ‘of her clothing was found upon it. They would ne able to show by the medical testimony from what cause Mies Bowlsby died. After he concluded TESTIMONY OF MMs. nowLeDy. Mrs. Bowisby, the mother of the unfortunate Alice, was called as the first witness for the people. ‘She was attired in deep mourning.

The City of Richmond Attempting to Evade Payment of Its Obligations—Legal Effects of the Amnesty Proclamati ‘ WASHINGTON, D, C., Oct. 26, 1871, No. 169, Hvans vs, City af Richmond—Error to the Circuit Court for the District of Virginta.—This | 18 am action brought against the corporation of Richmond to recover certain notes of a denomina- tion less than $5 issued by its authority during the year 1861, The determination of the cause depends upon the question whether the City Council under the charter of the corporation had power to issue the notes. The defence 1s that the notes are void, because they were issued im violation of the provisions of the city charter, wnich nowhere grants such powers; because it is in violation of the general laws of the State against issuing any “note or other account” by any person ‘with intent to create a circulating medium;” because in violation of the laws of the United States, in that they were tssned in aid of the rebellion; because in violation of the constivation of the State, which provides that no appropriation shall ever be made for the payment of any aebt or Obligation created in the name of the State of Virginia by the us and pretended State | Suthorities assembled at Richmond Sura the war; and that no county, city or corporation shall levy or collect any tax for the payment of any debt created for the purpose of aiding any re- bellion against the State or against the United States. In respect to subsequent action by the State Legislavare, which was intended to render the notes valid, it is contended that no Legislature can, by a subsequent statute, render a contract made by a corporation valid which at the time it was entered into the corporation had ob dati to make, It is glso insisted that the Legt: wi act was not the rightful Legislature of the State, ’ fence, and the judgment was for the city. contended that the city, being a corporation by its charter, which m: contract or he contracted With, and, ly, having “all rights and franchises, capacities and powers appertaining to muncipal corporations, it is hable on the notes for which it has actually received value, Even if it could avail in defence to show for what purpose the money received was used, yet the pur; or object does not appear ‘as a fact found; but the demana is Not affected by the use which the corporation made of the money received on the notes. Nor was it known to the plaintiffs (claimants) what use would be made of the money when it was advanced, The ordinances of the city did not reveal the fact, even af they had been locked to. No. 170, Avery vs. United States—Error to the Circuit Court for the Western District of Tennes- see.—Thisis a writ of error from a refusal of the Court below to enter @ satisfaction of a judgment recovered by the United States against Avery, a8 surety On a postmaster’s oficial bond, and to grant @ writ of audita quesela, prayed for on the ground that the United States, by their officers, received for rents of lands, &c. (seized under the captured and abandoned property act), belonging to him $7,000, which Avery Was entitled to have from the government as so much money by it due and received for his use, and that, by the reten- tion of te money, the judgment against nim as surety was, in fact, paid and satisfied. It is here claimed that the unconditional pardon and amnesty proclaimed by the ‘government, gave away the right to the money realized for tne rent of his property, AS soon as he was thus hieyouned the moneys became his; by the par- lon, the United States alone having claim to them, they were restored to him. The United States refusing, nevertheless, to pay them over to nim, and placing the moneys in the Treasury, satisfac- tion of the judgment was effected by operation of law. It was paid.

In the year 1870 he left Bombay, taking with him his personal, propery, iu money and secur ties to the value of more than 100,000, being all the property he possessed, and went to Calcutta, whonce he proceeded to Europe, and In May, 1870, came’ to this city, Upon hie arrival here be put up at the Fifth Avenue Rotel, and short! afterwards circulated a business card describing himself an ‘® Parsee,” and “New York Merchant,” and ving as ‘address’ room 45 Fifth Avenue ‘Hotel, ‘om this hotel be removed in @ short tine to the Hofman House, In this cy, and it belog apparent very soon after that he was ¢, hé was taken charge of by the po- lice authorities and placed in the Hospital af Bellevue, As be wasa er, there being noone here who anything about him, andashe was supposed, from his de- scription of himself as “Parsee Merchant" and an “India- man,” to be a Briish subject, Her Britannic Majesty's Vice Consul in this city, Mr. rrepont Edwards, appiied to this Court for @ commission of lunacy and for the appointment ittee to take charge of his person and of do having been of a comm! A Writ de lunation ingui roperty in this city, proved upon the inquest to be ci ri mammitted to. Mr. i ssa aM REGS Nees, ae intment itiee of “hie. person, Cola was ti Usp eee Eels Junatic asylum at Fishki\, uod it subsequent! that Major A. G, Constable had, from motives of humanity, taken a very active interest in his case, that the gentleman haa been for some years a resident of Bombay, was familiar with the religious views, usages and pecullarit Of the Parsees, and could communicate with Colah in Mah- retta, the only tongue in which he can or will converse since his insanity, it was deemed judicious by the Court to trans = fer the future custody and care of him to Major Constable, by whom he was alterwards removed to the Insane Asylum at Finshing, where he is now under medical care and treat- meot, It appeared upon the inquisition, as Thave stated, that he bad property amorinting to 49,00), but ater : appointed the ong his effects, in addition to the property already known to nelong to nim, @ bill of Jading for m large shipment of gold to this country, and with great diculty and after many and dill gent efforts Mr. Jarvis traced this property into the possession Of one of the proprietors of the Hoffman House, The boxes containing the goid having in the meanwhile been opened, the fold sold, and the proceeds, amounting to $64,000 in cur- Fency. déposiied in a trast’ company jn this eity, to the credit of the person by whom it was withheld, and who, by a resort to legal proceedin; w subsequentiy compelled to give sit up. ‘This sum and $1,0W in gold in addition thereto, fozether. with property found upoa the inquisition, amonnting in all to 810300 has been securely mvested by Mr. Jarvis, under the directlon of the Court, in bonds and mortgages upon real estate and other securities bexring an annual interest of seven per cent, and an action brought by him is now pending to recover the difference between tha market value of the gold at the time when it was sold and United States currency, which, if successful, may add about 000 more to the estate. ihe result of inquiries was that Colah was a native of and bad come from Bombay. His family were discovered there. After receiving this information, two of his brothers and his wife united in and transmitted to Mr. Edwards a ceneral power of attorney, authorizing nim to take charge of Colah's person and estate; under which, however, no action was iaken by that gentleman until he reccive1, through the American Consul at Bombay, a communication from Hera Bace, the wife, requesting him to apply ‘to thie Court, on ler bebalf, for the allowance of a certain sum to meet her present expenses, and for a fixed sum annually thereafter for the su hi her children. This application having dy ‘the Court made ‘the umal order fora reference, which is. still pending, commission having be:n despatched (9 Bombay hat the Court might have legal evidence of the necessary facts and sich information as would enable it to fix tpon & oper allowance; whici commission has not yet returned. Pending this inquiry, Frarnjee Dorablioy ©. Wadia, ‘the father-tn-law of Cola, arrived in this city from Bombay with appearing to bring it to Bombay, ich application for that purpore, mi necessary, Mr. Wadia’ ac- cordingly pres ‘@ petition in her name, asking that the person of Co'ah might be placed in his charge, and the money, securities and other property belonging to Colah shouid be delivered up to him as the authorized agent and at- torney of Heera Bace. The application for the delivery of the property was oppored by the British Vice Consnl, through his counsel, who read a formal protest, made by the two brothers of Colah betore a notary in Bombay, to the effect that Mr, Wadia was not a proper person with Whorn to entrust either the person or the property, |The ap- plication to place the property in the hands of Mr, Wadia Was denied, Yor reasons wulch have already been naslgned., but the application to transfer Colah from the jurisdiction of this Court rests upon enurely different grounds, The Judge then proceeds to review the various reasons which had been adduced, m the course of the case, for sending Colah back to Bombay, and to consider whether the Court has power to remove him beyond iis own jurisdiction. In doing this the Jnige refers elaborately to the law bearing on such questions, and finally decides thus:-- Major Constable having consented to take charge of Colah, my instructions are that he shall take him by the nex steamer which leaves here, to connect with aateamer on the Pacitic, to San Francisco. That from San Francisco he abali take him by steamer to Hong Kong, and from thence by steamer to Bombay, and, upon his arrival at Bombay, place him in the tnaistution referred to by Dr Gly That the nurse that has hitherto had charge of him at the institution at Flushing shall go with him and continne the same care and attention he has hitherto bestowed , until he is placed Jo the institation In Bows, coptee! ih , Major Constable, npon hfs arrival in Bombay, will immedi- ately notify the wile and relatives of the presence there of Vo- jah, and if they or #ome one of them do not spply for the ap- Polotment of @ committes at the earitest possible period, hen Major Constable is instrneted to make the application himself to the proper judietal tribunal or judge within the jurisdiction, and will bring back with him daly authenticated evidence of the appoiatment and of the asylum or Institue Hon in which Colah is placed.

HaRtrorp, Conn., Oct, 26, 1671, At the closing meeting of the American Misston- ary Association, this morning, the committee to ‘Whom was referred the report on the Indians re- ported in favor of co-operating with the govern- ment, heartily endorsing the policy of President Grant and recommending to the association and the friends of humanity everywhere @ hearty sup- Port of that policy. Ex-Governor Hawley then made an enrnest ad- dress, showing:—First, the bitter hostility whicn tne Missionary Association encountered in its early days, when abolitionism was unpopular. He al- luded to the fact that his own father was brick-batted in a Connecticut town, and, to show the in public sentiment, he said had @ republican jority in that very town. He argued that the Indians were capable of Christianization and civiliz- ation, and quoted the oficers of the Hudson Company and others, saying that the Indian wil treat the whites well if they wul treat them humanely. The speaker did not believe that It was necessary forthe Saxon and Protestants to kilt the Indians on sight when Latins and Catholics, even, get on without it. Secretary Delano, of the Interior Department then made a been fiberss in to n ri 3, se™inot "fey "22, SMBTC? asrtoriy “oatile to the government, he procecued to explain the new pol cy which was adopted by General Grant, who led the key note in his inauguration mes- page, when he said, ‘1 am in favor of any policy in behalf of the Indians that tends to civilize them and make them citizens.’ The policy he believed in was to aggregate the Indians on a single Terri- tory. He believed that the time would come when they would be accepted as citizens and would par- ticipate in our elections. He thought they were better subjects for Christianizing than some of the politicians of New York. Altogether the Indian a eng does not exceed 350,000.
