As the inter- ests of the managers of the national associations throughout the land are identical with those of the trainers and drivers, we would advise the latter when they have perfected a code of rules to have a joint meeting with the leading members of the rious national associations, so that some ami- cable arrangement can be made for their mutual Denefit. A code of rules should be adopted s0 con- ise and simple that ‘all who run may read,” and all who trot can understand. There are doubtless too many ruies in the old code, many of them in- comprehensible to those most interested in them, there being altogether too much law and too little equity for honest men. In the framing of the trainers’ and drivers’ code we hope to see rules that can be casily understood and earnestly car- tied out by all well wishers of the trotting turf. SOUTHSIDE SPORTSMEN’S CLUB.

He produced several let- vers from Judge Sherman, and stated that he had no personal knowledge in regard to the claim of that gentleman on the New York Board of Brokers, except what he derived from a conversation with his (Lockwood's) father, and that the tenor of this conversation was embraced in tho letters already made public; he was asked whether he had an impression, or whether there was an impression on the part of the New York Stock Board, that valuable legisla- tion could be secured in Congress by the use of money, to which question he made an affirmative reply, Having been asked what facts he had on which to base his opinion, he replied ‘(Nothing ex- cept general rumor,” and having also been interro- gated more particularly on this point, he said it as generally understood that about one million dollars were spent last session toy procure THE PACIFIO MAIL SUBSIDY, He knew of no facta ge which to base his opinion except general repor' Captain Nares, & messenger of the House, to whom Colgate reterred as having repeated his conversation with Bassett @ year was called and stated that Colgate, on leaving the committee room, asked who Bassett was, and replied he was Clerk of the Committee of Ways and Means, and an honest, straightforward man; Colgate said he should judge frem conversation with Bassett that he could be used for money, to which Nares re- plied he could find plenty of men in Washington who could be used for money, but no attention should be Loe to any of them, and that if he had any honest matters before Congress he could obtain legislation without money.

JEALOUSY THE MOTIVE. Morristown, N, J., Feb. 17, 1873. ‘The trial of Luigi Lusignani, the Italian who murdered his wife in Dover, on the 7th of Novem- ber last, was commenced in the Court of Oyer and Terminer, before Judge Dalrymple, at half-past eleven o’clock this morning. The circumstances of the murder have already been fully narrated in the HeraLp, the affair having caused a wide- spread sensation at the time of the occurrence. Jealousy, a8 in most Italian murders, seems to have been the motive which prompted Lusignani to the commission of the crime with which he stands charged, his wife having deserted him and gone to live with Barett!, another Italian, in, whose house, at Dover, the murder was committed. ‘The courtroom was crowded, as usual, when the case was called on. Attorney General Gilchicst and the District Prosecuting Attorney, Mr. De Mott, appeared for the State, and Messrs, Vanetta, ‘Wurts, Church & Childs for the defence. The prisoner was brought in in the custody of the Sheriff. He is. one of the MILDEST LOOKING ITALIANS 5 THE GRAHAM MYSTERY. Burial of the Body of the Slaugh- tered Shoemaker. Letter from a Lady in Maryland Who Claims To Be His Sister—The Slayers Suspected—A Va- riety of Strange Facts—When the Arrest Will Be Made—Squire Prevost Bails the Prisoners of Last Wednesday. The excitement in Little Neck in regard to the butchery of JamesGraham rather increases than diminishes as the time removes the period at which the terrible crime was committed further away from the present. In the minds of the neighbors of the victim the mystery every day assumes a somewhat darker and more opaque complexion, and the belief has become eurrent that it never. will be solved until the last trump sounds and all things are made clear by the light of destiny. On Saturday morning, the Coroner being absent from Flushing, District Attorney Downing informed the three prisotiers, John and Thomas Macreary and James McCollins, whose worst misfortune it has been not to be possessed of an extraordinary endowment of wit, that he was very willing to release them if they would procure the requisite amount of bail. The sum fixed upon for each was $2,000, He assumed the responsibility Ihave ever scen, and looks very little like a man capable of committing a double muraer. He is abont five feet six inches high and of spare frame, ‘His long confinement secms to have told upon his health;.and nis face is pale to ghastiiness, His forehead, a8. ig usual with Italians, is high and broad, and his hair and eyes of a dark brown. The chief expression of his face is that of vacancy, and itia dificult to imagine that it could be kindled with ferocity. An interpreter sat beside him and hig counsel, and another interpreter sat beside the counsel for the prosecution. It is expected that the trial will be a very interesting one, the defence promising some curious revelations of domesticin- felicity. They claim that Luigi's wife left him and waa living in adulterous intercourse with Barett! at Dover, and that when Luigi went to claim her he was assailed by the man and woman, and, in de- fence of his life, he was compelled to inflict the wounds which caused the death of Johanna Moosi, At the opening of the Court Mr. Vemetta, senior counse! for the prisoner, asked that the trig! be put off until the next term of Court on account of the absence of a material witness for the defence, an Italian organ grinder by pro/ession, who ne at pres- ent in Savannah, Ga. ‘This witness, it is alleged, heard Barett! acknowledge the ADULTEROUS INTERCOURSE which he had with the woman Moosi, and also heard Baretti say that she was useful to several of these men besides, The Attorney General con- tended that this evidence was not material, and atforded no jus raroune, for a postponement of the case. Judgo Dairymple, upon consideration of all the circumstances, thought it better that the case should go on, as neither side would ever be better Drgparca to go on than they were at present. so, a list was then called over, and after (for Jersey) considerable delay a jury was obtained. Many thallenges were made by the defence on ac- count of favor, and Judge See in charging the triers, cautioned them against the danger of rejecting a man merely because he had formed an opinion. If they did 80 they would be in the ition of a sister State, which, according to the ives the prisoner a right to reject a man who jad formed an opinion or read @ newspaper. In yaaae they wanted an intelligent jury and not a Jui ny of blanks, ir. De Mott opened the case for the prose- cution, and stated the circumstances, which have been already narrated. On the 7th of No- vember two men came to the shop of Baretti, in Dover, one of whom was the prisoner. He claimed the woman as his wife, but she refused to go with him, alleging, as her reason, the fact that she had heen badly treated, When the prisoner found that the woman NA WOULD NOT GO WITH HIM he drew a knife from his coat, plunged it into her breast and killed her instantly, Baretti then at- tempted to interfere anda struggle ensued, in whieh Baretti received several severe wounds. ‘The knife with which the crime wus committed was here produced, a large butcher knife, bent in the handie. The prosecution stated that "they ex- pected to prove that the case was one of ‘deliberate murder, Giovanni Baretti, a low sized Italian, with black hatr and mustache, with whom the woman Moosi lived, was the first witness, The following is his testimony :—I was born in Italy; am twenty-nine years old; Ihave lived in Dover tor the past two ears; 1] am @ shoemaker by trade; the woman ‘ost lived with me as housekeeper; on the morn- ing Oi the of November the prisoner and Phillipi Massilleni came into the house; the prisoner said he wanted to speak to that woman I said, ‘Well, all right; I was be- hind the counter; they were outside ; he went into the back part of the house; Luigi said he wanted his wife ; she said, ‘1 was your wife, but since you sent me away you robbed me of all my things which I brought irom Italy, and took away ov marriage ring; Iam your wife no more; he sak “Come in the room alone, Ihave some- thing to tell Onis she said, ‘anything you have to say is might tell here in_ the presence of anybody ;” he said, “No, come in the room alone;” he sald so five or six times; she said, “I won't kscigss you have got & knife; you want to kill me; I will £3 out upon the stoo; thep went out and talked together, and after that they came inside, and Phillipi calied out Luigi, and they talked @ few words together; they came in- side and Phillip! sat down by the machine; 5 Lule and the woman were near the counter ; Luigi sai “Well, you must come and then he pulled tue knife irom his coat AND KILLED HER; Iealled out tostop, and when Igot near him he stabbed me in the breast; after that I tried to catch his right hand; he then got his knife in his right hand; I held his right hand with my leit; I then got him with both panes a eas 3 ie would kill me; I called take the knife eM away; ‘the. eomab tas at this time dead upon the stoop; I called for help, and the first man I met was Mr. Cox and then James Kelly; we secured Luigi; I lifted the woman up and carried her inside; Dr. Grittenden came up and said there was no help for her, it was too late; 1 pi ypeniven nothing more after that, as I got insen- le. Cross-examined—I don’t remember to have ever seen the man before that day; I had no knife in hand; if 1 had the woman would not have been kitted the woman was my housekeeper; the way I came to hire her was this:—I went to New York looking for @ servant, and was recommended to this woman by afriend; she lived in Baxter ped T did not know she was @ married woman; I got *married to the woman afterwards in New York; I don’t recollect the name of the priest, the Tames of the witnesses or the name of the church; she lived with mo some time as a housekeeper, ‘put then she wanted me to marry her, and I did; I never said I was not married to her since the occurrence; I was convicted of stealing in Italy before Tcame to this country, and was in prison for some time; I was never In prison for stabbing my father; Tnever told any one I was in for that offence; I never told any one in New York that 1 would take $1,000and get any one in this case clear, Dr. Crittenden, sworn, deposed to having made the post-mortem examination on the body of tne woman, Johanna Moosi; was called and ound the woman lying on the stoop dead; Imade the post- mortem the same day, assisted by Dr. Condit there were two wounds on the chest; the wounds could have been made with a knife; one wound penetrated the left lung; it caused ‘death almost instantly, Dr. Condit corroborated the testimony of Dr. Crittenden, and the case was then adjourned until this morning.

This sad ceremony took place on Sunday, and was doubly affecting because of the fact that be- sides the two released prisoners, his half-brothers, there was no one present who claimed the right of blood to mourn for the dead. A few simple rites took place and the mutilated remains of James Graham, enclosed in a cheap deal comn, were consigned to the earth in the Little Neck churchyard, where the spot of his burial wilk doubtiess in future years be viewed with awe by persons who may know by memory or tradition of his fearful fate. The fea- tures as they lay in death were calm end handsome, wearing an expression of manliness which had eliminated whatever look of agony or horror may at first have rested upon them, Graham was @ man of strong and robust form, and one who, had he had a chance for hia life, would not have died without a struggle. After tho funeral a depressed and almost sullen caim seems to have settled over the little village like a black pall. The men who assemble in the barroom store as usual are silent and uncommunicative, every one seems distrustful or suspicious of nis neighbor, A stranger is looked upon almost with fear, as if every man dreaded being seized upon and lynched Without defence or dela; for the murder of Graham. It would no hard for any imaginative observer coming suddenly upon such a scene to form in his min all sorts of theories about the dread secrets one might fancy lurked behind the singuiar faces scattered through the crowd. Having awakened to a sense of this fact the whole Gp ia a) parently in mortal fear of being imdicted en raasse onacharge of murder, and hence even the de- tectives are at a loss to glean U fresh Tacs from the dumb lips and sullen looks of the barroom tip- era, among whom ordinarily the news of the day 4 always most quickly exchanged. A FEW SUSPICIOUS PACTS, The clue mentioned before in the HERALD as being without doubt the right one hag never been abandoned since first espied, and immediately after the close of the Coroner’s 3 inquest an arrest, which would be impolitic at present, is to be made, and it 1s confidently expected will result in the crimina- tion of the murderers of James Graham. The names: Ol those suspected have already been withheld for several days from the public, and cannot even yet be given. While there is not the slightest direct evidence to support tuis theory, which is that most favorably entertained by the District. At- torney, it appears very probable indeed, if the circumstu:tial facts upon which i is founded are examined. On the of the tragedy an incident was noticed by Ay persons happening on the premises of a neighbor of Graham which has never yet been ex- plained, and, without doubt, it never can be with- ut involving the seli-confession of the Poon murderer. On the day of the discovery, and on the day following also, the man who is supposed to be chiefin the crime displayed a most wonderful degree of nervousness, restlessness and excite- ment, which was directly contrary to his every- day character. Always a hard working and yery diligent man he neglected his labor = this oeca- sion, and has ever since, seeming to be ever pursued by some pliantom or dread, wandered ack and forth and apparently unmeaningly be- tween his home and the hotel in the hamlet. ‘He harnessed his horse im the afternoon, and drove @ quarter of a mile to ag actus) lounged about a few moments and returned without having shown any reason for making the empty journey. He then went to the hotel, and was heard in conyer- sation to make net epee statements to different persons of the manner in whtch he thought the murder was committed. He was first ositive that the instrument of death must have een & chet, and then when talking five minutes afterwards to another man _ ex- pressed the opinion that it must have been @ bar of iron. All this time bis manner was noticed by @ near observer, and the uneasiness that seemed to be consuming him was very pi pable, He was afterwards heard to make remarks of such @ Character as to imply suspicion inst one of his neighbors, upon whom, if he himself were the murderer, it would be Som paratively easy, by strategy, to fotst the guilt of tne crime. ‘The meagre descriptions of the men seen upon 4 road given on the witness stand by Constable and Joun Bennem corresponded, as far as they 7 on: with the appearance of the suspected persons, and the testimony of Bosworth, who saw two men enter the shoe shop coming from @ certain direction. strengthens this impression, The man suspected of being the principal in the crime knew per- fectly well the habits of Graham, where he kept his ge and that he had drawn $500 from the bank. His own pecuniary troubles were So great that they might well have driven him to # desperate crime if he possessed sufficient brute cowardice to commit it. By no means the least of the suspicious facts regarding him is that since the day of the discovery of the murder he has never once been near the body of his neighbor and friend, and that he never attended the Inquest until finally subpened as a witness and forced to come. Ina rural place like Little Neck, where curiosity is the Tuling passion, these are indeed unusual circum- stances. On Thursday, in the inquest room, it was plainly to be seen that this man was saround bi on is guard against the glances of those around a and his manner wae too studied and affect be expressive, as it was intended to be, cine cae scious innocence. He was subject to sudden starts and moments of inexplicable embarrassment. He was not examined on that aay but will be com- pelled to testify on Friday 0: this week, if mesu- while he does not abscond, Other points might be given which would more deeply impress the mind of the reader with the theot he detective fey are the guilt of this man, but at their reques: they are reserved for the present the better to servé the ends of justice. A SUPPOSED SISTER OF GRAHAM IN MARYLAND, Mr. Van Nostrand’s custody of the money, w! was evidently supposed by the murderers to be ii Graham's house, has caused his name to appear quite conspicuously, and as the story of crime hag been copted by the Southern papers the fact of nr] having received the following letter Is explained :— Gzoncxtown, D.
