Lieutenar @ Governor Pinchbeck, State Senators Harris and ,yoner and J, W. Fairfax, Assistant Sec- | retary of grate, arrived here to-day from Louisiana. These g¢ mtiemen come as the representatives of the repub!! pan party of Louisiana to consult with the Presid emt with regard to the interests of their party | in th’ gt State. They are all members of the Repub. ear 4 State Central Committee, Governor Pinchbeck el’ ag the chairman and Mr, Fairfax the Seecretary of the committee, They have called the State Canvention for May 2 to nominate State officers ‘and choose Presidential electors and delegates to the Phuadelphia Convention, They ignore the Cin- cimpati Convention, and will have nothing to do wilt 14, as they also repudiate any sympathy with Governor Warmoth Jn his movement in favor of at~convention, They say they supported War- ‘moth in his tight with the Custom House and Car- ler <faciion because they believed him in the ‘right, an that in that ght ne had the support of thesepublican party in their State, but now In his sem-endorsement of the Cincinnatl Convention he “seperates himself from the republican party, and ey necessarily oppose him. At the same time they repudiate the idea that the Custom House | party represent the republicans of their State, They don’t question their loyalty to the party, but they do | auestion their claim to leadership, and to settie this point is the object of the visit here at this time.

No more than $6,000,000 of auties, after the repeal of the tea and coifee tax, will be taken off toreign imports, mainly by the reduction of te duty on coal and sait and by placing certain chemicals and other nou-competing articles on the free hist. With regard to internal revenue reductions Mr. Sumner is understood to favor the abolition of certain stamp duties, amounting 10 $16,100,000, aud Mr. Dawes 1s | Feporied to have the same views.

He Adds tat te vesse's in the Waters adjacent to the West Indies are usually nine or ten in number, The Secretary also says that the delay in answering the resolution has ween owing tothe necessity of waiting for the accounts of Paymasters, «c., some of whom have been trasferred to distant stations. Navy Department Irreguiacities Committec, The House special committee to Investigate the charges Of irregularities 1a the Navy Department met this evening ai the Capitol Mr. Biair, of Michigan (cbairmaa), read a Jetter from Mr, Voor- hees, in Wich that gealleman siated that as he was engaged in important laweults in Indiana he would | Bot be able to attend to his duties ag @ member of the committee, and Uereiore he bad decilued serving, in order that the vacancy may be filled to-morrow by the Speaker, On the motion of Mr. Sargent the Military Post Traders’ Abuses. The Secretary of War nas lesued a circular for the correction of the post trader abuses to which the attention of the House Military Committee hag lately been directed, It requires all post traders in | the army to reside at their stations and to regulate their prices by a counsel of administration ap- pointed from otcers of the post, with right of ap- | peal to the War Department against the decisions of the council. The traders are not to assign, transier or sublet their privileges, and all who are not re- siding at their posts within n.nety days are to vacate their appointments, This circular is based upon inquiries Instituted by the Secretary as soon as the irregularities of the post trading system were vrougit to his attention a few weeks ago, and will probably satisfy the committee that has the subject under consideration. The Washington Depot Site Bill. The friends of the Washington Depot Site bill failed in their expectation of passing it under a suspension of the ruies, There ts some fear that it may be talked todeath yet. Mr, Garfield created quite a diversion among the friends of the bill by displaying amap ol the grand park laid out by Downing, which proposes to take in all that government reservation extending from the Capitol to the White House, and which Tom Scott has his eye on for a depot site, The determination to put this bill through without change or amendment met with resistance {rom many members who favor tho bill, ana will vote for it, but who were In favor of giving an opportunity for discussing it. The friends of the bill were quite sure of a two-thirds vuie to suspend the rules; but Mr. Garfeld’s map played havoc with their plans, and when the announces ment of the failure to suspend was made the face of the chairman of the Committee on Appropria- | uons wore a satisfied look.

The First of the Frauds and the Last of the Ring—Jersey Justice Again Vindicated— Municipal Corruption Gone to Its Rest— A Crushing Blow from the Attor- ney General—Judge Bedle Lays It In Its Little Bed. Yesterday was the sixth aay of the trial ot the Police Commissioners and Chief of Police of Jersey Clty for conspirmg to delraud whe city, After the Opening of the Court Mr. Stout proceeded -to sum | up on the part of the State. He was followed by Messrs, Winfleld and Abbett for the defence. The Attorney General then rose to close the case for the State. He fully agreed with the counsel for the defence on the folly and wickedness of a jury | ailowing any partisan feelings to influence their verdict, Jt would be @ great misfortune if it should | go abroad that this jary would aliow any such con- siderations to influence their action 1 this case; | but your investigation should be directed against any | man who takes money from the publte treasury for Both the defend- | ants and their counsel have entirely misappre- hended the case, All the evidence they have ad- duced has had no bearing whatever on the case brought against them. Your times in the month of | October last, four times in November and four | times in December false statements were made in | these pay rolls, and on these faise statements money was drawn from the public treasury. The defena- | ants have not attempted to answer why they made these false statements, The case against them is | that they ordered false statements to pe made on the pay rolls of Captains McHornev, Van Riper, | Parker and Benson, Whenever a man’s charac- ter is attacked for dishonesty it is the duty | of counsel and of the defendant himself to lay open the acts of that man so that he may ex. culpate himself, The Poltce Commissioners directed the Chief to order the false returns to be made, The Chief gave the order and the order was carried out by the captains, Twelve times have the false re- turns been made, and there 18 not one word of ex- Planalion. When the defendants taik about what their intention was, they fall wide of the mark. The money went out of the city treasury and the | evidence shows and the pay rolls show where the | money went. The records adduced here are start- ling. Why, the public’ interests are in danger if \ such a system of paying away the public money be | allowed. These men may pretend what they please | about thelr intentions, but it was vhelr intention | that this money should go out and that it should never return uniess it was discovered. ‘The charter says that the proceedings of the several boards of the city government shall be public and } that they shall keep @ correct record of their pro- | ceedings so that the public, whose trustees they are, may kuow what they are doing and what they are about, Why did they not make this proceeding | pubitc? if the people of Jersey City had known | that these men were advancing $200 on the pay of the captains what would they have satd? You are | Making a political machine of the power conferred on you and conferred for the penetit of the ‘The public money ts sacred and these men should Keep their hands clean, They did this not at Senne meeting but during @ recess of the Board. The matn question ts, were their acts open, ubdiic, honest? ‘They would not dare to «do It pub- | icly, 1or the people would not submit to it. If the representations Of the officers who wanted tne ad- vance were correct why did not the Commissioners put their hands in their own pockets and make the advance lustead of putting them in me public treas- ury? The charter provides that no money shall be paid out of the city treasury until the obligation 1s incurred. ‘Ihe public is the employer of these men, and the public have a rigot t9 know wuat these men are doing, and how can the puolic know? Why, vy providing in the charter that these men shall keep a correct record of tueir proceed- ings. What is the consideration in this dase tor the auvance? Mr. Pritchard tells us because ine men had been liberal in contributing for political pur- poses. Why, gentlemen of the jury, thousands and millions of dollars have been taken fiom we people of the city of New York just on the game motives. ‘This is one of the boldest things 1 ever saw done in any country. ‘the pay roli on tne face of it suows that, Did & mortal in Jersey City know that they wete making this advance? Not one except the Commissioners and their — officers, It was only wheu the Grand Jury—tne learned = Grand = Jury—by ther extraordinary | power, drew these pay rolls that iv was ascertained that the public money bad been spent where it | ought not to have been spent. Section 39 of the rules for the government or the Dolice force provides that no assessment shail be levied on members of the police department, So far as the unworthiness of tne motive goes, I suppose that three oO! tnese defendants, Gross, Lut. ton and Goetze, are not to be charged with 1, for they did uot Kuow anything avout it, ‘The whole ; business ls a disgraceial thing to have among us and would wish irom my heart it were otherwise.

The receipts saow on tueir face in expresa words that the advance is not a loan, but “in full for salary to date.” “ue whole transace uon shows that to-day the poiuce captains are the masters of the Commissioners, ‘the more J examine this proceeding the plainer Commissioners are mere puppets in their hands.

One of the princi- ee in determining the motive of an act is secrecy, { to advance the salaries they did it notin one of they open meetings, as required by the charter, but in secret, ib is for you to say, gentlemen, how far that bears on the motive for the act. There Was nothing by which the city could gather the slightest idea that thero nad been an advance. | You nave aiso a right to look at the recklessness of the consequences to the city. ‘This was tae city’s money, and let us ask was there any arrangement as to interest? ‘These policemen are Very uncertain men, Suppose any of them had been dismissed, What provision was made that the money could be recovered?

This recklessness you must look upon as bearing on the question of intent, If these men were guided by an honest purpose why did they not say so openly and plainly, so that the city might understand what they were doing? Here is a receipt “in full for salaly to date.’ 1s that true, gentiemen? It is for you to reconcile this with the statements of the defendants, ‘Tne Court will leave it entirely to you to judge, In the light of the law, what was the mo- uve for the payment Of tuls money. it appears in the evidence that McWilliams received $100 in ad- vance, the captains and Dickson $69 each; and | these amounts correspond exactly with the sums they paid for po‘nical purposes, Now, gentlemen, you may reure, The jury retired at twenty minutes before five, snd there were surmises thal they would remain out tor several hours, The audience did not dts. perse, however.

At seven | o’clock precisely a heavy pounding was heard at the door of the jury room, and the constable who was charged to withold “meat and drink” trom them in a certain contingency opened the door and received the announcement that they had agreed. Judge Bedie, accompanied by Associate Justice Brinkeruiod, resumed his seat, and tho jury were called in, The crowd outside had in the meantime nearly filied the court room. In response to the usual formula and amidst a breathless sitence tne foreman auswered firmly, ‘We find the defendants GUILTY in manner and form as they stand charged.

The rapidity with which this dreadful disease is spreading all over the city nas at length become alarming, and the health authorities have insti- tuted the most rigorous measures to check its further progress, One hundred and fifteea cases were reported to the city Sanitary Bureau during the past week, making the largest exhivit of any week since the virus made its appearance in New York, This unusually large increase in the number of cases is explained vy the city Sanitary Inspector in the alarm of the medical men having charge of the cases on the east side. Last week a number of doctors were prosecuted by the Board of Health for having failed to report cases they were attending to, Tois action of the Board has so frightened others that MANY OF THE FACULTY who were in.charge of cases of smallpox and were altending to them in sevret have come forward and reported the tact of their existence. ‘nis would no doubt go tar to increase the number of cases, but independent Of this the assistant Health Inspectors have them- selves discovered fi‘teen new cases, which goes un- doubtedly Lo show the disease 13 steauily growing, Mr, A, ‘I.

The Tenth and Seventeenth wards are tiose suffering most from smallpox, and it 1s aston- ishing the people will not take advantage of the means at their isposal of guarding againsi the dis- ease. Every station house in the cily 1s supplied with a medical man to vaccinate all comers, free of charge, and when It has heen so ciearly shown that vaccination 1s a sure preventive of the disease it 13 wonderiul that peopie don’t fortty themselves Against It.
