THE STRIFE OF LABOR, An Eventful Day for the Men and Their Employers. eas PROGRESS OF THE STRIKES. ioeraeaabeaerncca rere The Eight-Hour Movement Extending Over All Industrial Occupations. Stee THE FIRST BLOOD. empdetaelibemiecenee One Man Shot in Forty-first Street and Vehe- \ ment Threatening All Round, ‘The battle between labor and capital still con- tines, and, judging from present appearances, the former will eventually prove victorious. The strikes are every day becoming more extended, and the numbers of the strikers in each particular trade are @aily being augmented. It would appear, too, that not only have the recalcitrants in this city settled down to a regular ORGANIZED PLAN OP RESISTANCE to the employers, but that it is highly probable that. the movement instituted in New York will spread itself all over the country, The probability of this general uprising of labor all over the country be- comes greater as the New York strikes progress and assume a more extended and determmed form, and the determination which the workmen ‘nally came to yesterday to hold A GRAND LABOR DEMONSTRATION Bext week, at which delegates from the country are invited to attend, together with the large advent of workingmen who arrived from Chicago and oter cities yesterday, seeking the protection of the Eight-Hour League, makes this almost a cer- tainty. Police Headquarters and Mulberry street pre- sented a particularly lively appearance throughout the day yesterday. The entire police force were on duty throughout the city. All the men who were not pT ea g duty were either kept as a reserve at the different station houses or were sent to Police Headquarters to report for duty. The strikers were also OUT IN FULL FORCE thronghont different portions of the city. Early in the yi 3 large crowds of idle men were col- lected in thé neighborhood of the different head- C= of the strikers. Teutonia Assembly Rooms, headquarters of the Eight-Hour League, a which an immense crowd had gathered ; at Teutonia Hall, in the Bowery, Military Hall, the headquarters ef the coachmakers; at Jefferson Hall, the head- uarters of the pianomakers; at Academ, fall, the headquarters of the marble polishers, an at Harmony Hall, in Essex street, the headquarters Of Singer’s sewing machine men; at the Germania Assembly Rooms, on the Bowery, the headquarters of Messrs, Steinway’s pianoforte makers. Besides the crowds at the ditferent rendezvous LARGE BODIES OF MEN congregated at street corners and wherever a worl peogrensed at which non-strikers were en- faged, and it took all the efforts of the police to eep them in order. Superintendent Kelso received Vester repos ane, progress from the different incts during the day, and the inspectors were y in disposing of their available forces where- ever occasion needed the presence of the police. Early in the morning @ gang of house carpenters and others on strike went to the corner of Hester street and Bowery, where a large number of men are employed on a building now in course of erec- tion and demanded that the workmen SHOULD KNOCK OFF WORK. The latter refused, and there was every prospect ofa fight when the police arrived on the scene. The number of the strikers was s0 great that the offi- cera in command deemed it necessary to telegraph to Police Headquarters for assistance. Inspector \ Dilks at once sent a platoon of men to their assist- ance. The appearance of this additional force had @ salutary effect in quelling the strikers, and they dispersed after a short time, but VOWED FUTURE VENGEANCR ainst those who were at work. A large number of men who were at work at buildings at the corner of Eleventh street and Third avenue and Nineteenth street and Seventh avenue were threatened by the strikers also, and it was deemed necessary to send to Police Headquarters for assistance. Inspector Dilks sent squads of licemen to drive off the strikers. The strikers threatened to kill those Who It was rumored last night that the strike tended attacking the gas works and leaving the city in darkness, but this was probably a canard. It was said, also, that the men employed on the Belt line had struck, but there was no foundation for the report, The Rock Blasters. A large number of rock blasters who have lately been employed in a sewer in course of construction gear East avenue and Third street, but who are now on strike, made a very threatening demonstra- tion yesterday morning. Some of the men ex- pressed their intention of destroying a vatnabie steam drill which has been used in constructing the sewer. Some, and nota few either, went 8o far as to GO AROUND THE DISTRICT endeavoring to collect a crowd to assist them in their fell purpose, but the presence of the police de- terred the Jess daring of the strikers and all out- siders from carrying out their design. Up to late last evening the strikers were in a threatening at- titude, but the police were confident of being able to preserve the peace should any attempt at vio- lence be made. Sewer Constructors, ‘There was great danger of aconfict during the entire day yesterday between anumber of men who are employed in building a sewer at 110th street and Third avenue and the men who are on strike. Captain Hedden, with a large force of omicers, was in attendance during the whole day, and prevented a riot. There was no breach of the peace, but it is expected that the quarrel between the two factions will be renewed to-day, The laborers declared before LEAVING WORK YESTERDAY EVENING that ba will fight the strikers to the death before they will give up their job to please them. workingmen were seen to their homes by sqnads of lice specially detailed for that purpose. The la- horers who are at work are, it 1s sald, fully armed, and threaten to kill their opponents should they in- terfere with them, The Coach Painters, It was very much feared yesterday morning by the police authorities that the coach painters would create a disturbance in the city. At an early hour large numbers of men belonging to this trade met at prearranged rendezvous and set out to visit the different workshops in the city where men not on strike were employed. They visited a large num- wet bis carriage factories, but beyond threats offered NO VIOLENCE TO THE NON-STRIKERS. The knowledge of the fact that large bodies of police were held in reserve, ready for action at a moment's warnin ad the effect of keeping them within bounds. day fortunately passed over without any disturbance on their part, though the strikers say they are determined to carry their point, and that the men who are at work must’ eventually leave the carriage factories, ‘The headquarters of the coaeh painters ts Mill- tary Hall, on the Powery, and a large meeting of the trade was held there yesterday ei It was reported that Wood brothers, on Broadway, Knott & McGuire, of Wooster street, Henry, of BN a aaa street, and Ryder, of Downing street, ave ACCEDED TO THE DEMANDS OF THE MEN. Very few men are now working a any branch of the trade. Not only the painters, but the trimmers and smiths, have left in a body from the factories of Brewster, in Broome street; Stivers and Miner & Stevens.’ In other factorles the trimmers an smiths were discharged beeanse without the paint- ers thelr work not progress. Nearly all trade is now on sirike. The Coachmakers. A meeting of the coachmakers was held last night at Military Hall, No. 103 Bowery, and it was de. cided to carry on the strike vigorously, : The Marbie Polishers. The marble polishers held a large meeting yoster- day morning. A committee reported that they had brought a workingman “‘out by the neck." The proceedings became so disorderly that the meeting edjourned on the motion of the secretary, The Farniture Makers, An immense meeting of the furniture trade was held yesterday morning, at the headquarters, at Teutonla Assembly Rooms, Third avenue. A com. mittee of workingmen from Chi addresaed the meeting and said that, though that city is ove: ran with mechanics, a strike fan been determin on, The committee came on to warn the working- men here not to give up their strike and learn ’ something themselves.

Ample prep- arations have been made to protect the cases of the workingmen employed at Mesars, Suinwars factory, as well as the Beoperty af the firm. eo German cabinet makers on strike yesterday morn- ing joined the piano makers, and seven or eight hundred men assembled on the north side of Fifty- second street, near the entrance fo the factory, and hooted and hissed the workingmen as they passed in, Jt is said that this crowd contained very Lb piano makers. Captain Gunner succeeded in preventing a breach of the peace. The wee nee were escorted to their homes by the police. ‘The Housesmiths, The housesmiths of this city, who number in all about two thousand five hundred men, went “on strike’ on Monday last for “eight hours as a full day’s work, without decrease im pay, or any other concessions,” and now all are returned to work in accordance with the eight hour demand, with the exception of about one hundred; and the belief among the workmen is strong that the end of the present week will see the men all at work under the eight hour system, and the strike at anend. The dally session of the Executive Committee's meeting was opened at half-past seven o'clock yes- terday morning and continued throughout the day. The only feature of interest durin, the morning hours was the appointmen' of a special committee to wait upon Mr. Krenkle, who employs about fifty men. The committee saw him and reported that they were courteously received and that Mr. Krenkle said he would pay the initiation fee of all his men who would join the association, for he was in favor of the movement, asking only that all the shops should work on the same basis, During the helen J there | was a regular Zoeg ting ar the association, which was called to order by Mr. John J. Dalton, President of the Executive Committee, and fis sided over by Mr. Patrick Sharkey. ie public proceedings were the reception of the ac- counts as stated above, and a general expression of confidence that a day or two more will end the strike. The members are anxious to have the report that they are inclined to violence contradicted, and declare that they are determined to conduct all their pro- ceedings ina strictly lawful and orderly manner. The secret proceedings, so far as they inclined to make them known, pertain to the internal con- cerns of the Association, with which the general public has no interest. The Cooks. Now that nearly all varieties of the industrial classes are demanding and generally succeeding in securing a reduction in their hours of labor, with- out reduction of pay, the French and German cooks of this city, the number of nearly two thousand, have resolved to organize for the purpose of demanding a reduction of their hours of daily labor from fifteen and sixteen, as now, to ten hours in each twenty-four, They are to hold a grand mass meeting at Germania Assembly Rooms, Seventh avenue, on Saturday evening, when @ copious outpouring of the grievances pertainin; to the culinary departments of hotels, saloons ani restaurants may be looked for. They claim that they have been silent too long, and now that the waters of public opinion are troubled in relation to the eight-hour movement they have determined on having theirs reduced to ten. The Quarrymen. There was a meeting of the Quarrymen’s Union Protective Society held in a shanty at the corner of 115th street and Fifth avenue last night, Mr. Thomas Kiernan, general President, in the chair. The meeting, which was to have been hela at half- ast seven O'clock, did not take place until about en o’clock, the intervening tithe being taken up by the enrolment of new members. Mr. lernan called the meeting to order, and said he hoped that the quarrymen would not use any forcible means in inducing men to join the society or quit work, as such action would do much damage to the cause. Moral suasion was the only success- ful means of bringing about the desired cight-hour reform. About one hundred new members were enrolled, but nothing farther of any importance was done, The meeting adjourned at about half- past eleven o'clock. The Shirt Cutters. The fashioners of the undergarments mentioned in the head line assembled at No. 01 Walker street last night. The President, Mr. Martin Brubekar, having called the meeting to order, and Mr. Joseph C. Darcus having read the minutes of the previous meeting, the reports of various committees were received. They were all eminently satisfactory. moana are yielding to the demanas of the men, and there does not exist the slightest idea that the men will fail to carry their poin The Iron and Metal Worke There was a large assemblage last evening, cor- ner of Twelfth street and Third avenue, the iron and metal workers having met to discuss proba- bilities. Mr. John Rourke occupied the Presi- dential chair, and Mr. McMahon acted as Secre- tary. It was resolved that all members of the trade will strike on Tuesday next if their employers refuse to concede to their demands, The above- mentioned mechanics earn from fifteen to twenty dollars per week, This they consider insufficient for their labor, A meeting will be held at Germania Hall, Bowery, to-morrow night. The First Blood—A High-Handed Oat- rage on a Non-Society Man. Yesterday morning, while James Brownlee, a car- penter and non-society man, was at work in a shop on Forty-first street, near First avenue, James O’Brennan Chambers and another man threatened him with personal violence if he did not stop work and jom them in the strike. Fearing that they would carry out their threats, he left the shop and went into the street. While there Chambers ap- proached = him with a revolver in his right hand, Pointing the weapon at Brown- lee’s head, Chambers said, ‘That's the way we treat such as you are,” and at the same time fired. he ball entered the left side of the face, near the mouth, and passed entirely through the cheek. Chambers then at- tempted to escape, but was arrested as he was Jumping on a Second avenue car by Officer Corbett, ofthe Twenty-first precinct, who took from him the revolver with which he had shot Brown- lee, He toll the omcer on his: way to the station house that the shooting was rely accidental, for he had only tutended to ighten Brownlee, When taken to the Yorkville Police Court he refused to answer any questions in the absence of his counsel, and he was committed for trial in defanit of $5,000, Justice Coulter, in committing the accused, took occasion to severely condemn such outrages, whieh were better calculated, he said, to injure workingmen’s cause than to adyauce it. The plainant claims toe have been working only elgnt hours to (he shop where Chambers attacked pin.

Hanging of the Notorious Steph. Ballew—He Murders a Brother, Marries a Sister, and is Afterwards Tried, Convicted and Twice Hung. McKinney, Texas, June }, 1872. This section ef Texas has looked upon many heart-rending spectacles, but the double hanging of the notorious and hardened villain, Steph. Ballew, on the 26th ult., far outstripped anything ever be- held, even by the rough and weather-worn fron- tlersmen that had assembled from miles around to witness it. The day was a beautiful one, and long before sunrise the curious backwoods- men were upon the grounds discussing the coming events, The citizens of McKinney, also, seemed interested, and by twelve o'clock tully four thousand people had assembled upon the commons, directly south of the town, in the centre of which had been erected the gallows. About half- past one o'clock ‘THE PRISONER was led from the County Jali and placed in a wagon, with the Sheriff and his posse, to be con- veyed thence to the place of execution. He was neatly attired in a plain suit of black, and as the wagon drove up through the crowd to the gallows not an eye of the many thousands that were fixed upon him lent one pitying lance to Steph. Ballew, the murderer of Simmy Golden, The Morag} was taken from the wagon by Sheriff Bush and led up to the gatlows, His face Wore a sullen and cold-blooded look, and as he sat the calmly smoking a@ cigar while the ofictating clergy were perirning, service a thrill of horror crept over the nessed such unequalied coolness and dogged in- difference. After a few short prayers, of which the prisoner took no notice, the Sheriff advanced amd apnounced that the prisoner had NOTHING TO SAY, he having positively declined to utter a single word. Ballew was then informed that the time had come when the penalty of the law had to be carried ont, when he got down from the railing upon which he had been perched, advanced toward the Sheritf with a sneer, and, with such devil-may care indifference as has never before been read ot in rime, he lowered his head in order to allow the Sheritl to roperly adjust the rope. After the black cap had been drawn over his heaa and all necessary arrangements havin nmade, the Sheriff knocked the from under the trap, a the heartless scoundrel, Step! Ballew, was swinging in mid-ar, paying the penalty for the cold-biooded murder of James P. Golden, “The fall PAILED TO BREAK HIS NECK, and it was discovered by the convulsive struggles of the dare-devil that something Was wrong. After swinging for Afteen minutes, during whieh time the prisoner made desperate efforts to free himself, it was ascertained that the noose fli so loosely as to admit air into his lungs, eneame a trying time for the Sheriff and his posse, The assembled crowd were unanimously in favor of A SECOND HANGING, and were not slow in publicly demanding it. The voices of the cattle drovers and backwoodsmen could be heard above the noise and confusion, shouting “Give the villain another dose!” “Shoot him!’ “Cut his throat!’ and numerous other ejaculations of sinilar tenor. Women fainted and a scene of THR WILDEST CONFUSION ensued. Sheriff Bush regained the platform, and by a determined effort his assistants the half hung man was ratsed, the noose tightened, and amid the shouts of the more hardened a’ ants Ballew was swung to the winds the secoud tine, and in thirty minutes he was SUCCESSFULLY HU and pronounced dead by the physicians. ‘The circumstances of THE MURDER, anelicited in the trial, are as follows:—On & tember 30, 1870, Ballew and his victim, James Golden, started to Texas from Quincy, Il, on a trading expedition, Ballew having successiully played the conildence game on the Golden fam- , inducing the belief that he was a regular trader in Texas stock, By these representations he was enabled to buy farming stock from Golden's father on credit, Upon starting Ballew gave to the senior Golden a note for $1,500, which he promised to pa; to young Golden when both arrived in Texas. B young man came overland, and, as is supposed, reached this place early in October, Then it was that young Golden was murdered. Ballew induced his victim into a thicket, murdered him with an axe and buried him. Ballew was then in sole ownership of the property, which he afterwards sold, squandered the money, and, after wafdering about the country, he again appeared at the home of the Goldens, in Illinois, expressing reat surprise and astonishment at the absence of his companion, who, as he stated, had started on his return home several weeks before. Bailew told the murdered boy’s father tha; he had given him large sums of money, among other amounts $1,500, to pay the note. After talking in this manner it was gene- rally believed that the son had ran away. Shortly after this Ballew, clad in the apparel of his victim, sought the hand of Clara Golden, sister of the man he had murdered, and led her to the marriag ar Conflicting stories brought about suspicion, shrewd detectives were put upon the search, one develop. ment followed another, and it soon was prov that Ballew was indeed a murderer of the deepest dye. He paid the penalty of his crime yesterday, and no tear was shed asthe body was buried in the woods, two miles below town, BREWERS’ CONGRESS. oY SEs See HES Beer Vote in Massachusetts—Funny Inci- | dents of Local Option Evasion—Conclu- sion of the Proceedings by a Grand Banquet—The Governor and Other Ce- | lebrities Present. The second day’s proceedings of the Brewers’ Congress was opened yesterday by the President of the chief association, H. Clausen, introducing Louis Schade, of Washington, who presented some valua- ble statistics as to the production of malt liquor in the various States. During his remarks he showed very conclusively that the so-called temperance or Eastern States produced and consumed a larger proportion of malt liquor than what are known as | the German States in the Union—Missouri and Wis- consin, After Mr. Schade’s address the arrival of nnmer- other delegates from Western and Fastern States was unounced, making up the number of brewers present to nearly fonr hundred, Mr. P. AMERMAN, of New York, then read the reso- lutions, among which were some very stringent onesaimed against temperance fanatics, and preju- | diced politicians who assisted them to’ gain their ends only for popularity and to gain their political support. Tt. H. H. REUTER, of Boston, then delivered a very able address, which he entitled “What I Know about Prohibitory Laws?’ He sald: few years the Legislature recognizec listinction between fermented and distilled liquors; but by the pressnre brought to bear upon them by public opinion they had learned to distinguish he- tween beverages containing between four per cent and fifty per cent of alcohol, and they had exempted fermented from the list of pro- seribed drinks: and yet to keep friends with the teetotallers they had made them subject to an an- nual vote, thus entailing much unnecessary annoy- ance and expense to cities, One of the reasons why the Beer law was defeated in some of the towns in Massachnsetts was because the liquor trade found a powerful ally in the brewing in- terest, and therefore did not wish to sever from It, and consequently infuet this law. The increased coi liquor proved that it was surely taking the place of flery distilled drinks; therefore t brewers were the trae temperance ‘men, tinct and special constabulary provided to enforce the Liquor law do not do tt. They occasionally seize a few pints or gations from a poor Irish widow her® and there, while they allow the rich and politically powerful deaiers (o go free, Occasionally they are more stringent in the application of the Jaw, but then the beanties of the prohibitory sys- tem only become more apparent.

Wasuineron, June 6, 1872 The folowing is the report submitted by Mr. Logan, frem the Committee on Privileges and Elec- tions, to whom were referred certain ¢! bribery and corruption connected with tl Senatorial elections in 1867:— That i$ appears from the evidence that two United States Senators were elected by the Kansas Legisiature in 1867—Mr, 8. C. Pomeroy, for a full term of six years, and Mr. Koxs, for an unexpired term of four years from March 4, 1567; that the candidacy of Mr. Pameroy was generally understood by the people of Kansas during the election of members of the Legislature who were to elect Senators for the State of Kansas, and that the election of Mr. Pome- Toy as one of those Senators was generally con- ceded; that all candidates against Mr. Pomeroy for the long term withdrew from the contest save Mr. A. L. Lee. Mr. Romer in joint convention of the two houses of the Legislature received eighty- four votes, Mr, Lee received twenty-five votes—the disparity of votes being so great ‘as to preclude of itself the idea that the election of Mr. Pomeroy against the will of the constituents of those who voted for him was procured by corrupt means. 2, There is no evidence that Mr. Pomeroy, or any one for him, used any money or other valuable thing to influence any vote in his favor, or in. any manner to bring about his election, except he: kay, ana this is plainly contradicted by the direct testimony of the parties, either to whom, or by Whom, it is alleged such considerati 8, The evidence that Mr. Pomeroy's canvas Senator cost him considerable money 1s clearly shown to be the expenses pald by him, for himseif | and friends, during the Senatorial canvass, for hotel accommodations, disconnected entirely with the vote'of any member, either for or aguinst lim, 4. The evidence shows that some of the friends of Mr. Pomeroy have been Appointed to oiMce under the government of the United States, but fails to ow that they were appointed in consideration of ny vote or any influence used by m in procur- Ing the election of Mr. Pomeroy; and r com. mittee beg le: to say that they can find no fault with Mr. Pomeroy or any one else, when they recommend for appointment to office, that they recommend their friends instead of their enemies. | 6. It appears from the evidence that Mr. Pomeroy | engaged, for a compensation to be made, the ser- | vices of the Lawrence State Journal to advance the interests of the republican candidates and of the republican party in the State of Kansas in 1866; but it also appears that said journal vroke its en: gagement and supported the conservative or demo- cratic ticket. Your eommittee, therefore, after maturely con- sidering the testimony adduced before the clearly of the opinion that the charge of br corruption against 8. C. Pomeroy, connected with his Senatorial el ion by the Kansas Legislature in 1867, totally fail to be sustained by any competent proof, but ‘seem to have been urged for some pur- pose ‘unknown to your committee beyond that of correcting existing evils. Your committee, there- fore, beg to be discharged from the further con- sideration of the same. P. MORTON, B. F. RICE, JOHN A. LOGAN, i. B. THONY, MATT. H. CARPENTER, THE MINORITY. We concur with other members of the Com- mittee in finding that there is not evidence before us sufficient to show that Mr. Pomeroy’s election was procured by the use of corrupt means; and, having no definite, reliable information leading to the conclusion that further investigation would develop such evidence, we concur in the recom- mendation that the committee be discharged from the further consideration of the subject. Here we think our duty ends, We do not think it proper to impugn the motive of those who urged this investl- gation, The supject was brought to the notice of the Senate by the General Assembly of Kansas, and, as it seems to us, a proper respect for that oe precludes an imputation of improper motives. cannot, therefore, concur in the last para- graph of the report, and there are other passages that do not meet our approval. For these reasons we have preferred to state our views in our own language. A.

BRIDGEPORT, June 6, 1872. Additional particulars of the murder of Captain Colvocoresses wrap the matter in still deeper mys- tery. A subsequent examination of the body shows that what was supposed to be a wound over the right hip is where the fatal ball emerged from the body, it having passed through the murdered man, enter- ing the left breast and taking a downward course diagonally across the body, emerging on the right side, a@ little back of the hip. After leaving the body the ball passed through a fence, grazed one corner of the steps to @ piazza of the house in front of which the deed was committed, and then ploughed up the ground, lay morning and It was picked up on Tue: is no w held by the police as an important adjunct, with the pistol, to the capture and identification of the murderers. When Ofticer Bailey heard the re- port of the pistol he ran immediately towards the | Spot and arrived so quickly upon the scene that he found the murdered man still gasping and his clothes on fire from the explosion of the pistol. The weapon is a long, old-fashioned horse pistol, capa- ble of sending a ball a great distance anu with fre- | mendous force, and it 18 a Weapon of a class seldom seen now, and’ may furnish a valuable clue to the detection of the murderers. The condition of the sword cane carried by Captain Colvocoresses, when found by the officer, indicated that he had used in a desperate endeavor to repel his assailants b fore the fatal shot was fired. The case of the sword was broken to pleces and the blade bent nearly double, On leaving the hotel Captain Colvocoresses galled ata drug store on the corner of Main ant State streets, on his way to the boat, bought a cigar and asked the way to the boat. It was pointed out to him, and he started down Main Street, but turned Into Clinton street, one block before the regular turning to the boat, and which he evidently mistook for the route pointed out for him. After this he was not seen till he was found by OMeer Bailey, In a dying condition, Mr. H. R. Coit, Cashier of the First. National Bank of Litchield, arrived in Bridgeport this afternoon, and took charge of the body for the family. ‘Through Mr. Coit and members of the fami it is ascertained that Captain but little money with him on this occasion— probably no more than was found on his person—and that he also left his watch at ome. The murderers thus get absolutely nothing for their terrible deed. The inoranda found upon the body referred to transactions to be made in New gYork, where deceased had a bank account. On leaving home he remarked to his wife that he el not take any money, ashe had fagh for all purposes in New York. Captain Colvocoresses was sixty-fve years of age, and leaves a wifé, one son and four diyighters, |‘ son is now an ensign in the United States Navy. He had resided fifteen yedts in Litchtield, was a man of considerable weaith and was muy pected. While in the East India squadron Ca Colvocoresses took part in the btiliant capture of | the “Barrier Forts,”” on the Canton River, unver | commant of fae nodore Armstrong, the same | fight in which Admiral Foote, of New Haven, took a couspicnous part. Daring the late war Captain Colvocoresses Was constantly on duty and received a large amount of prize money as shi trom several captures, The poilce are very quiet about the matter, but every endeavor will be made to trace thé deed to ita doures, FIFTEEN THOUSAND DOLLARS WORTH OP MISSING, An examination of the set of the Captain | male by hls executors at Litehfletd, has revealed nt bonds, which he is known to ad, are missing. There Is no record of these bonds to be found, and no deposit of them anywhere appears to have been made, As Captain, Colvocoresses was about making arrange- BONDS, | ments for paying the semi-annual premium on his i meurance, W h comes due tn July, and was also to take up claims against him to the amount of $5,000, it is reasonable to suppose that he had these bounds with him at the time of his being shot. The object of his visit to New York on Tuesday was to complete the arrangements spoken of above with Mr. Smith, through whom $153,000 of the insurance has been effected. As the 'y of suicide is now being pushed in certain quarters, this development will prove, per- haps, of gr importance, und Mr, H. R. Coit, of the Litehtield National Bank, has’ gone to New York to-day to determine, If possible, whether the bonds had been deposited with any parties in that city. Inthe meantime detectives have taken the | pistol, bullet and otyer articles found near the dead man and have gone With them to Litchfield, to dis- cover whether Coy were ever in the possession of any parties living in that town. ‘The opinion gains ground that Captain Colvoco- resses was murdered by parties who supposed he | had money on his person, which he was taking to New York to meet the above-mentioned clalms, and this theory may not be far from correct, SPEEDY JUSTICE.

WASHINGTON, June 6, 1872, Mr. STewanr, (rep.), of Nev., called up the House bill to prevent and punish attempts to obstruct the administration of justice in the courts of the United States, Passed. Mr. SHERMAN, (rep.) of Ohio, from the Committee on Finance, reported the House bill¢o facilitate @ Clearing House Exchange. Passed, VINDICATING THE MEMORY OF SECRETARY STANTON. Mr. CHANDLER, (rep.) of Mich., sald he desired a ulgence for the purpose of vindi- cating the memory of the late Secretary Stanton from the slanderous attack which had been made against it In the spegeh of Mr. Sumner lately delivered in the He had intended. to reply to this slander at some length, but the able defence and vindication which had already been pronounced by others on the Senate floor had rendered that task somewhat unnecessary. He would, however, occupy a moments in reference to that subject. Mr, Chandler sent to the Clerk’s desk, and caused to be read, the extract from Mr. Sumner’s speech referring to Mr. Stanto and last — Inter- view betwééi m and Senator from Massachusetts, in which Mr, represents. Mr. Stanton as speaking in derogatory terms of G ‘al Grant; also sundry extracts from the speech of Mr, Stanton delivered at Steubenville, Ohio, during the last Presi ign. Mr, CHANDLER sald he could scarcely imagine a better vindication of Mr. Stanton and proof of his high appreciation of General Grant than his own words, Mr. Chandler said he had seen Mr. + almost every day during the late war, a him on numerous occasions speak of neral Grant in the highest possibie terms, and express the utmost confidence in his great, his transcendent abilities in a civil as well as military capacity. So also*had he heard President Grant express his warmest fee!- ings of respect and esteem for Mr, Stanto! While Secretary of War he sacrificed all his wealth for the support of his family. neral Grant AT THE FUNERAL OF MR, STANTON told the speaker to put his name down for $1,000 in ald of Mr. Stanton’s destitute family, and the influence of that name and amount at the head of the list enabled Mr, Stanton’s friends to raise the sum of $140,000, which is now invested for the beneft of Mr. Stanton’s family. Mr. Chandler caused a letter to be read from Surgeon General Barnes to himself, testifyin; to the warm affection of Mr, Stanton for General Grant up to his last moments. General Grant has been taken severely to task for being a great pres- ent take! is a great taker, He took Donaldson, Shiloh, Vicksburg, the Wilder- ness, Murfreesboro, Appomattox, and all the rebel material at these points, and he took the shackles of slavery from four miliions of slaves, After all these achtevements he took a small donation voluntarily offered by some of bis friends in order to take hlinself out of poverty, and for this he is arraigned as a gift-taker. We have great orators and great men of business, and while our great orators on this floor have been occupying the time to the detriment of business and filling the columns of the Globe with windy orations, General Grant has been managing the affairs of the nation better than they have ever been managed before, paying the national debt faster than the orators could count it and making himself friends inevery section of the country and all over the world, SUMNER SUBMITS A LETTER IN CORROBORATION. Mr. SUMNER said he would read one single letter to show the truth of what he had said in his refer- ence to Mr. Stanton’s opinion of General Before reading it, however, he would de Mr. Stanton did say to him what he hat He asserted on this floor that this was so, Sumner here read the following extract fro note received this morning, from Horace White, of Chicago :— Dear Mr, S01 merely, but seve stantially the sa to with been g ported.
