One day it been assericd that he would be found in the ap- paching election marshaling his broken lines | der the banner of Greeley and brown; the next it the dethyoved chief is in (all accord with the ministration party, and had rude bargains and mbinations with Scnato: U’Griva looking to the ipport of tue latter for Mayor, Otver rumors were | culated as to agreements made with agents of fant, but no persoa has been able to speak authori vely on the subject. HBRALD reporter yesterday resolved to beard » Tweed in his Duane street den (if an elegant ce may be so styled), and accordingly repaired ither, He was fortunate in fading the Senotor om the Seventh tu, and was immediately admitted his presence. Mr. Tweed, who was seated at his pak in his shirt sleeves, wore a straw hat pressed ck on his head, and as he arose to salute the re- brter with his usual cordiaty, his appearance owed that he had not seriously suifered from the immer heat and tho terror of the indictments nging over him. After taking a seat near Mr. Tweed, the reporter pened upon hin after this fashion :— “Mr, Tweed, there Lave been cousideratie disens. lon and surmises as to the course you are lKeiy to ursue iu the Fall cicetlons. I have called upon ou personally to flad out just Where you stand, if ig possible.”” “I am not now tin politics,’ said he; “Iam at- nding to my business, aud have not takeu any ait, one Way OF another. “it is charged that you are going to support the dministration with your infinenes, Is that so?” it has becn said J have joimed | isis untrue, Ihave not seen by others it is said your sympathics are ith Greeley.” ‘The mention of Greeicy’s name aroused the in- rviewed, who threw himself back in his chair nd quickly responied:— “| must adinit that 1 was inclined to support am D paley i the beginmiug oi the canvass, isgusted with his course recontiy hould say, with his paper.

I could uame two linodred men, whocon- ol fi'ty-flve hundred votes, cach of wiom have on alienated from Greeley by the bitter attacks the present managing editor, and who are going o oppose him. I am surprised that Mr. Greeley ermits it.?? “May Task, Mr. Tweed, direct, if you do not sup- Pert Groeley with your influence wili you support he Kapital It is said your sympathies tend hat way.’ “{ have never lutimated that T would sustain Grant. Ihave made ho promises, and have taken ino part personally one way ov the other. But etili carry with we a large vote of tie city. Ican cont:ol ten thousand votes.”” “is that all, Mr, Tweed? Could you not carry move +” “1 think I could carry ail the city south of Four- teenth street—probably twenty thousand votes.’ “and if you opposed him his support in that ats. trict would be smail. Now, 1 want to ask you ecain: Do you not propose to support tus Grant ticket 9” This was putting the question very direct, but Mr. ‘weed parried thus ;— “Thave not yet decided what I shall do. It de- pends upon how I am treated; but as yet Ihave Tremained uncommitted.” “Perhaps,”’ suggested the reporter to draw him ont, “you would in the event ot ‘he nomination of O'Conor as a third candidate support him.” “1 have aiways been a democrat, and voted a democratic ticket, and I to iemain such, (After a pause.) f woutdn' 0 bet that Greeley will carry tils city, not to speak of the Stato.?? vie, you reully, then, think that the city is doubt- y “Yes; Tammany Hall can'tsave him.

Wickham don’t but th jount to mach. His tn‘uence ts not great, and e has never had experience in politics. He hus no welght.”’ “ts there anything new in the prosecutions against the ring? Itis certain that Connolly and Garvey are to be witnesses for the prosecution,” “Let them; 1 do notiear them both, They can do me no harm. I am anxious to see them put on the stand. Garvey will not that Lever received cent. I can prove that he stated ke never paid me any money.” The reporter arose, and, thanking Mr, Tweed for the interview, remarked :. , “T hardly. Koow where you stand.” “You may say I have made no combinations with anybody. Fhave not participated in politics excopt to converse with my Iriends,"’ “Who, in your opinion, is the strongest man the Mberals can nominate ror Governor 7” “put he Bos dest nt declined. What of Kernan “He not command a large vote. The sec- tarian question would injure his chances.” low about Seymour ¥”’ ‘He has nochance.

Alvord would command a strong fapport, but not suificient to clect him, as he hay en too intimately identified with the republican tens Littlejohn has not, and{ think he would itrengthen the ticket greatly. He is well known in the western part of the State, indeed, throughout it, and his connection with the Midland Railroad Would materially strengthen him.” The above is the substance of the interview, which, if not in the exact words of Mr. Tweed, as it is written from memory, certainly gives the spirit of the Boss’ utterances, NATIONAL RIFLE ASSOCIATION. Ameeting of the National Rifle Association was held yesterday afternoon at 194 Broadway, Major Smith presiding. It was announced that before ‘long the Seventh regiment would probably ally itself with the association, The treasurer's report showed that the receipts were $6,247 and the ex- penses $6,135, A report of considerable length was read from Harry Rockafelier, Colonel of the Seventy- first infantry, National Guara, giving his views ot rite practice at Wimbiedon, fn land, and the English volunteer nee generally, Mr. 1, M, Peck, Chairman of the Committee on Prizes, rted arrangements for the coming rifle contest, he day for which has not yet been iixed, After a conversation, in which members generally particl- Pated, as to details regarding the association, the Most important point of which had reference to getting Secretary Belknap to send on markers tor the proposed shooting match, the meeting ad- fourned to meet again on Tucsday next, SUPPOSED SUICIDE OF A DRUG CLERK, * Leopold Kremsxi, a Polander, who had been em- Dloyed as drug clerk at 344 Third avenue, was found dead on the floor of the store, where he lodged, and the police reported it as acase of sudden death. From facts and circumstances which subsequently appeared it is suspected Kremski took a quantity morphine with suicidal intent. He had been in poor health for a long time, and the death of his wif, some months ago, was a blow from which he never recovered. Kremoski seemed snconsoilable, and on one or two occasions had expressed a desire to die.

Before Commissioner Osborn, Three boys, named N, Heppe, 0, Raub and Jo- seph Traxter, were charged w.tn having deserted from the German ship Duisburg. They were com- titted to prison wntil the sailing of the ship, which Will be ta the course of a few days, The boys ex- seed their willingness to retarn to the vessel. were probably induced te run awey by some shipping master or boarding house runner.

Yesterday one secu ity sor that amount In the person of John Carl, baker, 811 West Thirty- ninth street, tendered iiimeeif and was accepte but as the District Attorney requires two sureties to justify cach in the abeve anonnt, Mackay can- not be discharged ‘from prisan until he finds an- other bondsman, Charge of Cruelty to an Immigrant. Yesteiday & man named Mayer Feit appeared before Commissioner Osborn and preferred a charge against John H. Morton, boatswain of the Black Ball vessel Charles H, Marshall, of having ill- treated him while he was @ passenger on board that ship on the voyage from Liverpool to New York. Welt states that Martin kicked him, licked oy | Him, hit him over the eye and struck him with his hands while he was on the deck, He stated that he did not give any provocation for this, aud that some of the sailors whom he could not recognize triced him up three or four times with a rope round his neck and then dropped him on the deck, The vessel bad on board over four hundred passengers, aud some. time after sie lett Liverpool the Captain, whose naine was the same as the ship he commanded, died, itis supposed of fever, and the management of the shi and crew was then entrusted to James Forrestal. This case was b: ought to the notice of the Commis- sioner by a letter from Mr. Bernard Casserly, at Castle Garden, and the Commissioner replied to this letter by stating that he could take no cognt- zance of it under the federal law, and that the ouly remedy leit the complainant was to sue Morton in the State Court for assault and battery, if he tought he had proper and reasonable grounds for doing so. COURT OF GENFRAL SESSIONS, A Professional Burglar Sext to the State Prison for Five Years, Before Judge Bedford, Assistant District Attorney Sullivan conducted the prosecution yesterday in this Court, There was a clear case of burglary against Thomas Smith, who, on the 10th of July, effected an entrance into the cutlery establishment of Jacob H. Lau, 72 Beek- man street, by breaking a hole in the roof. A num- ber of police oMicers surrounded the premises and gave chase to Smith, who was seen in the store, where burglars’ fiaplements were found, He escaped from 72 by climbing over the roofs of houses, and hours afterward was arrested when coming out of No. 76. The proof was so clear that Mr. Hammel pleaded guilty for Bmith, and defended Ascher Heyton, who was jotntiy indicted with Smith, The only evidence agalust the alleged con- federate was the fact that the otlicer saw him sit- ting in tne doorway of No. 16a short time before Smith was arrested. Heyton was discharged, Judge Bediord imposed the highest penalty allowed by law upon Smith, which was five years in the Bie bed Prison at hard labor, he being a professional urglar, Frederick Schmidt, charged with stealing a gold watch and chain from Edward F. Purdy, pleaded guilty to an attempt at grand lareeny, The com- plainant stated certain facts to His Honor, which Went to show that the accused took possession of the watch for the benefit ¢f the prosecutor. Judg- ment was suspended, The House of Detention. The case of Thomas A. Sayers, charged with stealing $12 from a respectable looking colored man, was called, but the defendant, who was on bail, failed to appear. Judge Bedford, having been informed that the complaning witness had been kept in custody in the House of Detention for sev- eral weeks, remarked that it was an outrage that respectable witnesses should be detained and alleged criminals be out on bail. He ordered the bail in Sayers’ case to be forfeited. A Righteous Verdict. Joseph S. Lord was tried upon a charge of bur- glariously entéring the store of Leon J. Moselli, 403 Canal street, on Sunday, the 3ist of March, The evidence showed that the complain- aut kept a stationery and periodical store and that the accused, who was a respectable man in reputable employment, simply put his hand on the lateh of the door for the pecs of buying @ newspaper for his wife when he was arrested by the complainant. Mr. Sullivan abandoned the case oan ae jury promptly rendered a verdict of not guilty. Another Acquittal, Frederick Brindle was tried and acquitted ofa charge of petty larceny, preferred by Francis Smail, who, on the 254 of June, lost $12 while he was asleep. The testimony was too doubtiul to warrant the jury in convicting. COURT CALENDARS—THIS DAY.

Before Judge Moore and Associate Justices, Istdor Kahn was placed on trial yesterday, on the charge of having fraudulently obtained $1,500 worth of jewelry from Herman Toepfer, who was engaged in that business at 171 Broadway, E. D. It seems that Toepfer frequently gave the accused jewelry to sell on commission, and kept a running account with him. He alle that on the 8th of Oc! last, during his absence from the store, Kahn cal there and obtained $1,000 worth of diamonds, au: watches worth about $500, for which he never mad return. The ie add was recovered at a New roe pave shop, and the alleged thief was also ar- ested, On the cross-examination by the defence it tran- spired that the ty Was received a month or two earlierthan time stated, and that the com- plainant received cash from the accused on account ot his transactions on September 30, The pawn- broker awore that he bought the staf from Kahn EMBER SEP | *y before the 1st of October, and after it was taken from him by virtue ofa rch warrant he brought cae ne Toepfer for the value. ‘That action ts nctinyg. District-Atvorney Britton observed, when this state of facts Rapseree, that there was nothing in the case execpt that thd accused owed the com- plainant some movey, and that a criminal court could not be used to collect the debt, In accordance with the divection ot the Court, the jury rendered a verdict of not guilty. Kahn was thereupon release CRIME IN NEW YORK. Charge of Judge Bedford Grand Jury—Burglars and grant Swindlers to Be Vigorously Prosecuted and Punished. The court reom of the General Sessions was crowded yesterday morning to listen to the charge of Judge Bedford to the Grand Jury, who were sworn in on Monday and discharged till yesterday. As will be seen by a perusal of His Honor's charge, he called particular attention to two classes of criminais—house breakers and robbers of poor eml- grants, Life and property in this city are con- stantly endangered by organized and skilful gangs of burglars, who too often elude the vigilance of an inadequate police force. The only protection which the people can have fs the severe punishment of burglars who are caught and convicted. It will be remembered that Judge bedford sentenced thirty-five burglars to the State Pricon for terms ranging from five to tweuty Peg age 2 the last term of the Court. ‘The legal raid commenced against vhis dangerous class ot criminals will be vontinued wntii they are all swept from the city. The City Judge has alao directed in a timely manner the Grand Jury’s attention to the nefarious operations of emigrant swindle: many of whom have en- riched themseives by fleecing innocent foreigners as soon as they arrive at Castle Garden. It was supposed that Judge Bedford and Recorder Hackett had etfectualiy broken up the system of emigraut swindliag by resisting strong political influence & few months since in PURGE soverely James Moore, Patrick McDonald, McDermott and other less notorious runners who prow! about Castle Garden. ‘This class of criminals are peginning to show thelr faces arownd the piers again, and they may rest assured that all who are detected In robbing post Pe lar ge will be severely punished by Judge Bed- ford, JUDGE BEDFORD'S CHARGE. Judge Bedford charged tue jury as follows:— Mr. Foreman AnD GENTLEMEN oF THE Granp JuRY:— ‘The law makes it incumbent uj on me to direct your at. tention capectally, to all offences against the Excise and Usury Laws; the laws to preserve the purity of elections; the laws forbidding lotteries, and the taking of Hlegal fees by pubiic oiltccrs; and the law passed i 1860 to pre- vent fraud $0 tho sale of tickets ipon steamboats and other vessels.

John Hoy, the Chinaman, who was shot by David Ayres, the captain of the yacht Spray, at Glen Cove, on Sunday evening, fs in a fair way of recovery, the ball having been successiully extracted by the doc- tor. The particulars of the fray are briefly as fol- lows:—The Chinaman, who has the reputation of being very dumb and inoffensive, was quietly walk- jug on the beach near the steamboat landing, when he was met by Dave Ayres. Dave isa native of Roslyn, and has anything but a good reputation on Long isiand, being generally considered a person with whom it is very dangerous to have an altercation. He wanted the Chinaman, who isaservant in the employ of 8. L. M. Barlow, of this city, to join him in a drink, and Hoy refused, This incensed Ayres, and he commanded Hoy, in a bullying toue, to accompany him, The Chinaman BU persisted in refusing, neeahe Ayres be- came so incensed that he seized the unoffending foreigner by the throat and threw him to the ground, Not content with this he drew his re- volver and fired two shots at the prostrate China- man, one of which took effect in the right eye, fracturing the poor victim's skull, After commit- ting the deed Ayres jumped on board lus yacht and headed it towards the Con- necticut shore, Deput Sheriff Albertson, who was early apprised of the attempted murder, started in pursuit of the culprit and after an exciting chase captured him as he was about to land on the Connecticut shore. When arrested he Was found to beth EE oe shot in his left hand, which he had accidentally received while firing the second time at the Cainaman. This was probably the salvation of the latter, for if the second shot had hit him, he would inevitably have been killed, When arrested Ayres denied all knowledge ot the shooting, professing entire ignorance of the crime for which he was arrested, Hoy was taken to the residence of Mr. Barlow, where medical attend- ance was at once procured. At the first examination by the doctors it was feared that the wound would prove mortal, but after some trouble the ball was extracted, which gave the patient so much ease that he was pronounced out of danger, and his chances o1 re- covery at the present time are almost certain. Mr, Barlow states tuat the Chinaman hus been a good and faithful servant, and deeply regrets the un- provoked attack that has been made on his life. Access is still denied to all persons by the doctors, as it is thought advisable to keep the Chinaman as quiet as possible until he regoina more strength, While it was thought Hoy would not recover the excitement both here and in Roslyn was great, crime being so rare in these districts, but the favorable turn the patient has taken has greatly tended to allay thig feeling. Great credit 18 given to the Sheriff for the promptitude with which he followed up and captured Ayres. THE FIFTH AVENUE WIDENING, The Committee on Streets of the Board of Alder- men, of which Alderman Radde ts Chairman, met yesterday at the City Hall. Mr. Radde stated that as Aldermen Conover and Gilsey were not present it would be impossible for the committee to con- sider the question of widening Fifth avenue and Broadway. Dr. Peckham and Mr. A. Borlett ad- dressed the committee and asked for adjournment until such time as the property owners have re- turned from their summer residences. The com- mittee set the 16th inst. as the time for hearing objections to the Fifth avenue widening, and the 3d of October to hear argument against the widen- ing of Broadway from Seventeenth to Twenty-sec- ond street. Later, at the request of the propery. owners present, they set the hearing on the Fift) avenue Mbatyfate, 4 for the 3d of October—the same day as that tor the consideration of the Broadway widening. SUNDAY MUSIO IN THE PARK, Mayor Hall has not received from the Board of Aldermen the resolution passed by both Boards yesterday, that the Commissioners of Public Parks are to provide music in the Central Park from four until seven P. M. on Sundays, and to keep the Museum open during these hours. He, however, agsured a reporter of the HERALD that he will ap- prove the resolution, it being merely recommend- atory to the Commissioners, who must pass upon the question finally, The season {3 so far advanced that it 4 not likely the public will receive much Jism! og year from the action of the Common Council. RETURN OF COUNTY OLERK LOEW, County Clerk Charles E. Loew arrived home from his European trip on Saturday, and yesterday and Monday was at his office, where hosts of his old friends paid their respects.

Captain Tynan, of the Tenth precinct, yesterday informed Coroner Young that William Duncan, @ lad fourteen years of age, had died at 143 Chrystie and that some one afraid to divulge his e had sent an anonymous communication to to the Superintendent of Police, in which he atated the boy died from injuries received at the hands of his parents. Dr. mohn, of Broomo street, who attended deccased, certifed that death ensued from typhus fever, and Dr, Robinson, of the Bond Street Dispensary, was of the opinion the boy died of fever from a spinal affection. The cause of death will be duly investigs by the Coroner, but as | I ; Mr. Smith SISTER MARY GF STARISLAUS, The Habeas Corpus Proceedings in the Case of Kosa McCabe. —————— The Strangely Nomadic Life of a Nun aud tho Persecutions Bovetting Her Pathway on Every Side—Exporiences in the Bloom- ingdale and Bleckweil’s Island Eunatic Asylums~—Sharp Raps at Counsel. The story of Rosa McCabe, otherwise the nun known by the name of Sister Mary of Stanislaus, is well known to the HERALD readers throagh its recent Tecital in connection with habeas corpus proceed- ings in the Supreme Court. The object of those proceedings, as will bo remembered, is to secure her release from the Luratie Asylum on Blackwell's Island, she having recently been transferred to the latter institution from the Bloomingdale Asylum, and having been an inmate of both institutions about seventeen months, The claim is that she was and {8 perfectly sane; that she never hos been otherwise; that her commitment was irregular and that her detention 1s illegal. Placing reliance in her story, it is further insisted that her Incarceration ina lunatic asylum was through the machinations of a lecherous Bishop, whe because she would not sub- mit to his lustful wishes took this course to shield himself from ‘the disgraceful odium attaching, not only to his high pesition in the Church, but to him personally, were her story to become known and believed, All these statements are of course most strenuously denied and enshrouded in a cloud of doubt, as is the question of her sanity. There is wide margin for supposing that her story may pos- sibly be the fanofful imaginings of a mind deranged, The proceedings upon the habeas corpus were resumed yesterday before Judge Leonard, holding Supreme Court Chambers. An unusual crowd thronged the court room, including a score and more ofiadies. Miss McCabe was preseut, and as on the days of her former appearance in Court, was dressed in the sombre habiliwents of her order, She has a small, delicate figure, and though subse- quently giving her age as forty-five, appears much younger. Altogether she has a pleasing, subdued expression, while an air of calm and majestic serenity mantles her pale features, such as Is rarely seen, Conspicuous in the court room, and fre- quently speaking to her and to several of the other ladies in the court room, was a Mr, Van Vieck, & former banker in Wall street, who has Just been re- leased from sixteen months’ confinement in the Bloomingdale Asylum, where, he says, he was taken and kept without cause, and to revenge himself is now preparing a book for publication giving an inside picture of life in the asylum, He says he became acquainted there. with Miss McCabe, and was the first to put her in the way of effecting her release from the institu. tion. Among those taking notes end a lively in- terest in the proceedings—the subject of insanity seeming to be a specialty with him—was a gentle- man of the Tribune stat, who lately, trough re- portorial strategy, obtained admission to the ploomingdale Asylum, and is now giving the columns of the ridune lis preudo tne sine experiences. Mr. John D. Townsend peared as Miss McCabe's counsel as hereto! while Mr, John McKeon presented himself on bi f of her sisters to sustain the charge of lunacy, and demanded, stood ready to defend thi mers of Charities and Correc- tion, by whom, under an order from Judge Me- Quade, the committing magistrate, she is detained in the Blackwell's Island Lunatic Asylum, OLENING OF THE PROCEEDINGS, Aftor the case was called and the counsel signt- fled their readiness to xo on, Mr. Townsend read the petition of Miss MeUabe as also the traverse to the return to the writ of habeas corpus as hereto- fore published. Mr. McKeon followed by reading the commitment, which has also been publivhed. He then explained the demurrer to the same and the recent decision of Judge Barrett, holding that the latter was improperly taken, inasmuch as the statute of 1842, under which it was claimed that the committal should have been filed in tho County Clerk's Oflice, appiied only to commitments to the State Lunatic Asylum at Utica. These pre- Aminary proceedings having been explained tor the enlightenment of the Court some considerable dis- cussion arose as to the best manner of procedure to test the question of the sanity of Miss McCabe. Jui Fe Leonard said that he must assume the committal to be regular, inasmuch as it complied wholly with the requirements of the law. Mr. Townsend stated that the law was so loose on the subject that it was very easy to get a person into the Lunatic Asylum, but a matter of great dinicuity to get out again, Judge Leonard said there was danger on both sides—danger of getting a sane person into a luna- tic asylum, and danger of getting an insane person out. He suggested that the better way to get at the fact whether Miss McCabe wes now insane or not was her examination by medical experts, He thought the better plan would be to have the ex- amination before a referee, Mr. Townsend said that all this would involve expense, and as Miss McUabe had no money he de- sired her examination in open Court, He would show that she was not insane by her own testi- mony, SISTER MARY ON THR STAND. After some further discussion it was finally de- cided to let Miss pe tell her own story. she was accordingly called to the witness st: and sworn, Q. What is your name? A. I was baptized Rosa McCabe; my other name is Sister Mary Stanisiaus Teresa, ‘or, more properly, Sister Mary of Stanis- lans; 1 ami about forty-five years old; remember when I went to the Bloomingdale Insane Asyluin; it was March 14, 1871; was taken from No.8 Kast Eighteenth street, where my sister lived; Iwas sitting in the front room, third story, when my sister came up and sald, “Do you know that Pliza (my other sister) is dying’ I sald, “Can I go to her # and she answered, “I wish you would; I desired very much to see her, as my sister Mary died without my seeing her; I then got myscil ready, and laid my fixtures on a chair; my niece, Katie, was in the room, and I told ler not to plague Sister Mary while I was away; she said that she would not; I then took my private papers and put them away; when going down stairs my sister asked, “Where are you going?” and put her arms around me, so that I knew afterward that she was aware of my destination; in the street I a strange man, who followed me and my sister to the Broadway cars; on reacliing the Park we got out, and my sister said we would take a carriage; T objected, saying it was only a short distance and we could walk; we took a carriage, however, and when we got to the grounds of the Asylum iny sister said, ‘Take a good look around you; 1 won't deceive you any longer; this is ‘AN INSANE ASYLUM." Q. What did you say to that? A. I sald, “Nothing can induce me to leave this carriage ;” Dr. Burrall came out and said, “Did not yea say you would take your liiey”’ I told him I had not gaid any such thing; I often asked to be sent to Blackwell's Island, because I could there sce a priest and write to the Archbishop of Halifax and obtain my release; [ was treated pretty well until the 7th of September, but after that I was very badly treated by Elizabeth Riley. Q. How did she treat you? A. I was BEATEN SIXTEEN TIMES by her; the reason of it was that I told the doctors that she had _ fii-used another patient named Mrs. Raynor; on one oc- casion she struck me on the back, and I held up my crucifix, saying, “I am the spouse of Christ; I have no one to protect me; you say you are a Catholic, but you are only a nominal one; Lizzie Riley could do what she liked with all the doctors, even with Dr, Brown; [ be- came a Sister in March, 1848, in the Houston Street Convent; the matron at Blackweli’s Island is Mrs, Ryan; she is here; she was kind to me; the doctors there treated me well; { went to St. Johns, New Brunswick, with Archbishop Conneliy, in 1854, and leit there owing to @ misunderstanding with Bishop Sweeney. » What was that misunderstanding? A. I do not wish to tell it here; L will tell it in private, Mr. McKeon—Out with the whole story here; there 1s nothing we wish concealed, Mr. Townsend sald he proposed to show thata priest had bruised and beaten her savagely, and that immediately thereafter he had had her taken to the Lunatic Asylum on a TRUMPED-UP CHARGR OF INSANITY. Judge Leonard said that all this was wholly immaterial. The main fact to get at was to see if she could tell the story of her life coherently, and upon thisa judgment was to be found as to her sanity, EXAMINED BY THE JUDGE, Judge Leonard, at this stage and to carry out doubtless his own ideas of a proper test, questioned Miss McCabe at great length as to the leading inci- dents of her life from the time she first became a nun, She told the story of her life as @ nun at the Convent at St. Johns, how the younger sisters in- sulted her; how she was compelled bythe bishop to leave, aud obtaining “a mission’ went to Auburn to found a convent there; how she spent some ume at # nunnery in Baltimore, and thence came to this city and opened 4 school In Thirtieth street; how she lived some time at her sister's in this Fs Lo Mog Be pt moe — pation core letters Papers destroyed; her having con- sulted with a priest, who had studied the canon of the Church and told the Bishop he had no right to turn her away from St. Johns; she went back there and they would not receive her, OROSS-EXAMINATION BY MR, M’KRON.

It was discovered by some ingenious legal bookworm in the service of the Ring that the little dificulty could be overcome without the consent of the Mayor, That section ot the city charter relating to a vacancy in the Mayoralty was so strained to meet this case that tho President of the Board of Aldermen (Mr. Bumsted) signed the warrants as acting tang on the ground that Mayor O'Neill is absent Saratoga, Of course the law was never fntvnded to sustain trickery of this Kind, and Mr. Hornblower, the City Treasurer, accordingly refused to houor tlie checks yesterday. After much persiiasion, however, he yiclded, trusting to tue counsels of sone learned limbs of the law, and the moncy was paid by the Hudson County Bank. Warrants jor the payment of salaries to the employcs in the public schooisand the city physicians were signed aud paid in like manner, x Now Comes the grave responsibility, which wil certainly plunge those concerned into a sa ot charge upon which any memver of the Ring was tiled and convicted was more serious than this, The Police Commissioners were adviaed by the same counsel who gave his advice in the present case that thelr action was strictly legal when they un- dertook to take money In advance from the city treasury and increase the’alailes of the captains, Yet for this very action they were indicted, tried, convicted, senienced and disqualitied. Mayor O’Nei!l announced in a communication to the Police Commissioners that he would not sign any more warrants for them, as thetr authority to continue in office was set aside by the writs of discharge served upon them, The President of the Board of Aldermen was aware of this, Furthermore, he had received no notification from the Mayor that tho latter, in consequence of absence, desired him to act pro tem, While the payment ot the salaries was welcome tidings to the families of the nee patroimen, with whom everybody sympathlz the manner in which it was accomplished w prove very serious to somebody. THE HEALTH OF JERSEY OITY, Quarterly Report of the Health Ine spector—A Valuable Document. \ Ata time when the smallpox was raging in Jer- sey City it was only through the HERALD that the great mass of the inhabitants of that city learned that the malady was approaching their doors, Numerous appeals were made to the Pollee Com- missioners, who are charged with the duties of a Health Department, to bestir themselves and ap- point acompetent and active inspector, to be as- sisted, if necessary, by @ sanitary squad. The Commiesioners not only rejccted these appeals, but they actually increased the salary of a 80- called Health Inspector, named Cannon, to $1,800 ayear, The following report of this oficial, fled inthe police headquarters yesterday, Will be read | with inferest:— Health Inspector Foports from June to, September 6k cases of stnal Por: tenement houses fumigated and reat many bed elotuing dletroved, aing visit Slousiiter houses in che city & Notivted to abate ail nuisances from the Sloughter houses 23 vacant lost has bean filled in also ‘visit 200 privies had 100 privics clean out, visit 16 pigs pen Tz cow Stable, 2 backerys, 1 pork store, visit all tnt boiliny pean ieanent also visit over three hundred yards anc scment of houses hundred of ouuers small nuisances had abated.
