uJ TEMPERANCE CONVENTION, Friends of the Sabbath and Ene- mies of Intoxication, THE REPUBLICANS DENOUNCED. Governor Dix Sharply Rebuked for Vetoing the Prohibition Law. THE RESOLUTIONS. A State Executive Committee Appointed to Organize for the Fall Campaign—A Third Party Not Favored. Aunany, N. ¥., June 24, 1873, The convention called by the committees repre- Benting several temperance organizations and of Other friends of temperance and the Sabbath to tuke action in view of the failure of the republican party, through the Governor and the Legislature, to redeem the pledges repeatedly given to enact a Jocal prohibition law, met at Tweddle Hall at ten o'clock this morning. Rev. Mr. McKean, as chair- man of the committee to call the convention, read the call and nominated Mr. H. J. Groo, of Orange county, as chairman, which was agreed to. Mr. Groo, on taking the chair, briefly ad- dressed the Convention, thanking it for the honor conferred. He said the Convention did not Tepresent any particular organization, but was composed of men representing the friends of the Sabbath and the enemies of intoxication. He said the citizens had been in the habit of trusting par- ties; that they had placed their confidence in the Yepublican party only to have that confidence broken and violated. It was determined, there- fore, NO LONGER TO TRUST IN POLITICIANS (applause) —but in principle only. (Applause.) He Said it was proposed to nominate men of un- doubted integrity—men who would apide faith- Tully by the principle of temperance—and let them de supported by the politicgB partics., By. this means only could true temperaipe men be brought fo the front. It was said this not a@ political question, Why? he asked. When we found intem_ perance filling our jails, State prisons and poor houses; when we found it going’ down into our pockets, what was more of a political question? People tell us we are endeavoring to dictate what the people shall eat and drink, and that we have no ht to do that, We have the right to prohibit the sale of stale meat and fish, and here was something infinitely worse, which we ask shall be prohibited. If we can pre- vent the sale of stale articles of food, why can ‘We not do it with regard to a drink, which is not only destructive of health, but of the soul ? Rev. George H. Hicks, of Rockland, then made a prayer. On motion, E. H. Hopkins, of Tow York, and F, ‘J. Sibley, of Niagara, were appointed secretaries. THE VICE PRESIDENTS. On motion, the following Vice Presidents were appointed :—Gen, Joseph 8. Smith, of Uister; A. W. Lansing, of Ulinton; A. A. Robbins, of Kings; John Reid, of Albany; A. Newton Locke, of Warren, and Mev. George H. Hicks, of Rockland. BUSINESS COMMITTEES, ‘The following Business Committee was ap- inted:—B. E. Hale, John O'Donnell, H. S. McCol- jum, B. F. Welling, J. W. Stebbins, Judge Van Cott, ‘of Westchester county; J, Elliott, of Monroe, and Hi, Ward. of Erie. The following Committee on Credentials was ap- ointed;—Rev. W. Scribner, Dr. Goss and Mr, ur tiss. Alter a brief session of the Business Committce, Mr. Hale re-entered the hall, saying that the com- Mittee had determined before making up a report that it would be best to hear expressions from the Members of the Convention from various sections of the State as to what business was looked for. He therefore moved that an hour or more be de- ‘voted to bric/, five-minute speeches, ahd then the Convention adjourn till two P, M., when the com- Mittee would be ready to report. ‘This was agreed to. THE FIRST FIVE MINUTE SPEECH. Rev. Mr. McKean, speaking on behalf of Albany county, was the first to respond. Ho said the temperance people of this country were roughly arou toaction, owing to the action of the at ture. He then proceeded to detail the action ‘of the Legislature and the Governor, stating that the Ex- ecutive had presented an entirely new idea in his veto message—an {dea that had never been thought of by the temperance people—that there was a difference between amalt and alcoholic liquors. He closed by saying that ‘these malt liquors were as effective for evil on the Sab- bath as any other liquor, and the moral people of his county are ,thoroughly' aroused to the necessity for action. X. P, HALSEY, OF AFTON, CHENANGO COUNTY, ‘was the next speaker. He sald his people were ready to take a stand for entire State prohibition and not, stop at Jocal prohibition. They had seen Gerritt Smith take his Position as a candidate in the face of defeat, when defeat ‘was certain, and they admired and honored him for it. 8o too, now, they want the temperance and moral people ‘Of the'State to take their stand and demand entire State Prohibition, whether they were to be defented or not. he time had come for this; the time had come to let po- litical:-partics come to us instead of our going to them. “The result, he thought, would be the same eventually as it was in the case of Gerrit Smith, when the republicans ‘went to him on his plattorm. H.W. ROSE, OF HUDSON, Columbia county, said the people of his county were Feady tor action,’ He then reterred ‘to his personal ex- Perience in temperance and declared that lager beew = Intaxicating, whether taken in comfortable quanti- ies or iot. W. Warninctox, of Dutchess county, detailed the ac- tion ot the people in his portion ot the’ county, showing that there was increased interest among the people on thig question, and he said they were in tavor of some ‘action for putting down the liquor traffic. A. W. LansixG, of Clinton county, editor of the Platts. surg Sentinel related the action of the people of that unty, reading resolutions adopted at a meeting of the mpeérance societies making declarations opposed to the Position of Governor Dix, but DEPRECATING INDEPENDENT POLITICAL ACTION. He urged action in accordance with those resolutions Relieving if candidates for office were to be supported only as they out the wishes of their supporters ‘they will conduct themselves satistactorily Henay Wann, of Erie, detailed the sentiments of his Beople. He said they wanted unity of action above all tings, but they were not prepared to go jor.an inde. Pendetit party. ‘They would cast the strength of their rote with cither party which gave the best promise of temperance legislation, Mr. Stearns said he had listened with a hope that the ywémleman would explain how it was last Fall that he announced that General Dix if elected would sign a pro- ‘hibition bill, but listened in vain. Mr. Wann’ sald that was a personal matter which he had thought best not to allude to, but as attention was called to it he would relate the circumstances. When the ‘Convention in Sepiember was about to meet he (Ward) ‘was sitting ata dinner table of a hotel at which were igeated Dr. Peck and Mr, Stearns, The question was put, “How do we know that GEAERAL DIX, (ff elected, will sigr a prohibition bill, Dr. Peck replied that he knew trom his personal knowledge that he would sign anything of a probibitory | haracter the temperance People would ask, #n askel him if he (Dr. ‘would allow me to naye in inaking this announce- ment, and Dr. Peck responded, “Yes, you may use my \name.” Tdid soon going into the Convention of Good Templars, and with what effect has been seen, and what hag been the denouement has also been seen. Mr. Stearns said this statement was correct. Messrs, Wilder, of Essex, ©. W.

THE VETO MESSAGE. Resolved, That the members of this Convention fully sympathize with the feeling of disappoiutment and mor- titcation which pervaded the entire State upon the ai nouncement of the veto by Governor Dix of the 1 Prohibition bill, regarding such action as in direct viola- tion of the plghted faith of thegepublican party, hostile to the moral aud religious interests of the State and un- worthy its executive Read, Resolved, That the members of the Legislature who yoted tor temperance measures during’ the last session are entitled to the thanks of the temperance men of the State; that come of the leaders of the republican, party who advised the Governor to veto the Local Prohibition bill, and others wio were indifferent, noiwithstanding the pledges of the republican party, deserve the indig- fant rebuke of the temperance men of the State for their duplicity and treachery towards those to whom they were indebted for success in the last political campaign. Resolved, Jn the organized efforts to seenre trom Con- ress and ‘from the Legislatures of the several States figal discrimination between malt und distilled. liquors, and the practicable exemption of the former from the restrictions of Excise, Sabbath and other laws, we recognize a deliberate assault on THK SANCTITY OF THE SABNATH, and the Metematic continuance of u movement to de- nationalize the civilization of America, and to substitute a loose and demoralizing infidelity tor the Christianity upon which, asa chiet corner stone, rests the Republican institutions of our country. Rexoiyed, That we note with pleasure, and accept, as ‘among the’ most encouraging sins of the times, the in- creased attention which has ¢ peen given to the evils of intemperance and th as for Qheir suppres- Se ot aT sas safest che Wiatee, With an darks est religious press, an earnest pulpit, and an awakened Church the work of destroying $h¢ Ji owe be soon accompished, and. & Prone Garey ae t spreading ot the Gospel quickly removed.

Very Strange Case on the St. Law- rence—An Ill-Used Company of Scandi. navians Take the Law Into Their Own Hands and Seize « Schooner=Their Ar- rest at Point Levi. QREBEC, June 24, 1873, A remarkable case, which may end in a charge of piracy against a number of Swedish and Norwegian emigtants, was investigated here yesterday, anda number of the ringieaders lodged in Quebec jail. it appears thata large number of emigrants from Sweden and Norway were brought to Canada by Mr. Molson, Who has extensive iron works on the lower St, Lawrence, ata place calied Moiste, and they were engaged before they left home for a period of three years. When they arrived out in the Spring they went to work, buta dispute arose asto the payment of wages. they insisting that they should be paid in gold and their employer giv- ing them orders only to obtain goods in stores kept by himself. This they refused to remain satisfied with, and left their work, but, as they had no means of getting away from the piace, they were ina bad _ position, no vessels trading there regularly except those owned by Mr. Molson. In their extremity ey. went down the river ina body ond took possession of a small schooner. In this vessel they set sail for Quebec, and arrived yesterday, all safe, there being men, women and children on board to the number or 200. When they landed at Point Levi wharf the police were waiting jor them, as information of their acts had been telegraphed to this port. The men mostly wore sheath knives in their belts and looked very formidable, but on the police showing that they had authority to et them they surrendered veably. ‘Twenty-eight of them, who were satd leaders in the movement, were taken into y loiged in Quebec Jail, to await the evidence of Mr. Molson against them and the charge of stealing the vessel, which the owner of the schooner means to bring against them. The case is creating great interest among all connected with emigration. HEAVY SMOKE IN OHIC, Four Handred Thousand Pounds of To- bacco Barned Up—Loss $80,000. CINCINNATI, Ohjo, June 24, 1873.

Addresses of Bishop Janes and Dr. Bottome. The funeral of the late Mr. John A. Kennedy took place yesterday afternoon, and with as little indica- tion of public ceremonial or showy manifestation of sorrow as the universal respect for his memory, the great worth of his public services and the large place he has filled in the municipality would per- mit. At the house of the deceased, in West Twen- ty-second street, shortly after one o’elock, friends arrived in carriages; but, in obedience to the wishes of the family, the privacy of the desolated ‘| household was encroached upon by comparatively few. About the same hour 700 of the members of the police force, who had been detailed to attend the fun@ral,» formed in’ Washington square, and then moved in column along Fifth avenue to Fourteenth street, where they aligned on the north side of the street to Seventh avenue. The force was under the command of Inspectors Dilks and Walling, the members of the various Odd Fellow and Masonic bodies occupying the south side. At the church, Captain Washburne, with a detall of forty men, preserved order and an approgch for the funeral procession.

D. Stewart, of the District of Columbia. ‘ Among those present in the church were Alder- man Vance, Commissioner Stern, Superintendent Matsell and the Police Commissioners. AS soon as the vast congregation, which included a large number Of ladies, had obtained seats, the Rev. Dr. Ridgway announced the hymn com- mencing :— 0, God! our help in'ages past. ef The Rev. Dr. King then read the nineteenth’ psalm, alter which was read the fifteenth chapter of the first epistie of Corinthians. The Rev. Mr. Longuere, from Newburg, then read the weli-known hymn, ‘Rock of Ages,’’ which was afterwards sung by the choir. a Bishop Janes then delivered the following ad- ress i— ADDRESS OF BISHOP JANES. To live without exciting attention und to die without ordinary regret is most diMloult. To be in society, to be in moving among men and to possess the power ol intlu- encing their character, to relieve their burdens, to minis- ter to their home affairs and yet lay none umder obliga- tions to us while we Jive or mourn ws when we die, is te fall utterly in one of the great purposes of life. To spend a life of excitement and power, to care tor merely per: sonal aggrandizemeat and tor merely sordid interests, is most contemptible, both in its purpose and ita spirit. "To live a life antagonistic to the iuiterests of society, adverse to the public good, damaging to the generat welfare, is an enormous crime. To suffer life to pass away Without personal improvement, without moral or spir- itual culture, without, attending to moral or spiritual excellence, #0 as to prepare us for a high and happy fel- i rs lowship an lest destiny, is ernally. fatal in its ces, But what fleance of our presence here.

What is this testimony of tears and this sound of sighs? tis spontaneous public, tribute to the noble manhood and great usefulness of our departed irlend John A. Kennedy. Tt ix not a tribute to great wealth, for he Was hot rich. It is not subservience to high estite and to great authority, for though occupied at the time of his death in an office that was one of responsibility, usefui- ness and honor, ft was not one of great prestige or of much patronage. It isnot in honor of great learning or brilliant genius, for he had neither. Itis the spontane- ous and affectionate tribute to an honestman and to a usetul citizen. itis a most pleusant sight in these days to see gathered together so many who can appreciate honesty and integrity in public men and in citizens. Mr. Kennedy was a native of the city of Balti more, and’ was the son of religious parents, and they early instructed him in the — princi- ples of religion, and the fruits of parental care continticd unto his death, In his hisiory we see the connection between the virtuous boy and the virtuous manhood. He maintained his moral uprightness through- outall hislife. His educational advantages were limited. He waseducated in our common schools, schools that neve ‘less have given to our country many of its most devoted public servants, By close and caréfal observa- tion and by reading he became a man of very extensive information, acute mental discrimination, aud or much original power. He was a true philanthropist. Very soon after he becan to exercise his citizensliip, he was & jeader in an Anti-Slavery Association, in Ballimore which attained some J litical importance, and which pub- lished an Anti-Slavery pal However, the society Was broken up by the mob. Subsequently in this city he was influcnced by his anti-slavery principles and was elected «member of the Common Council by the fre soil party, as they were then called. During his wh lite he maintained his anti-slavery sentiments and tailed hot to manilest them on alt proper occasions with great Giseretion and propricty, Eis, philanthropy was also exhibited when Chief of Police in. this ¢ Fe used his authority and opportunity to carry out strictly the Ex: cise law and thus to prevent, as far as possible, the trouble and evils of intemperance. No man e ad a better oppottunity to see the evils of intemperance in the individual, in the family and in the community than he had. Few’ men lave been more deeply affected by them than was he, consequently he did all in his power to prevent them and to save society from their terrible curse, This characteristic was also manifeste in his sympathy for neglected, triendless orphan and heipless children, several of wiiom he took care ot and gave them ail buta parent's care, some of whom are q in good positions in lite in 'c 7 Was aiso a true patriot; of the ma 1, they were always held tor the good. was hot swayed in his motives by public feeling, but in : dastrongdesire to promote the no hesitation in thus inaking s many who knew itin public jite.

The discipline of the Jer hi his tem- | peraie exer pt down so much d forth the praise of the press and also the praise ot the general government, In that war of great crisis and great responsiblity no man was truer to his country or more taithtul to his obligations than John A, Kennedy. He Was @ true patriot, true to his country, and served his country for the love of It, He was also a man of inflexible integrity. The offices’ which he held were every one of them those in which a dishonest man would have carried away great weaith.

He was a most estimable private citizen; {ew men were more loving or more beloved in their social circle. Few men had stronger friends; those who apprecigted him were most devoted and strong io their attachmént to him. He was a true iriend, and those who contided in him found him always reliable, and one who never disappointed them. In all the waiks of private Iite he was exemplary and worthy of imitation. But his life on earth Is closed: hia family circle will see him no more. He will go out and in of this church no more, He will be in the face of the public no more, That event which will come to all of us has come te him, and aa it has eome to him so may it come to us.

BOTTOM: a Dr Dortome. the pastor pf the CUED, Shp Yep: der and touchi: ship that existe as follows :— Mrs. Kennedy wasa member of the Church, but her usband Was a member of his congregation only, oF 4s he frequently described it, an “outside member.” ie had occasion to have treauently very searching conver- sations, some time previous to his death, with Mr. Ken- nedy, who regretted that he was not a'member of the Chureh. In one of these conversations Mr, nedy alluded to hearing when a boy a sermon by John sum- merfield, which produced so great an Impression upon his mind that for several years aiterwards he could repeat that sermon. “Dr. Botiome said he believed that the foundation of the character that manitested itselt in Mr. Kennedy's subsequent life was laid then, and that the impressions remained to his dying day. During the latter days of his Hines Dr. Bottome said he was irequently with him and was praying with him when he died. From all that he had seen and heard during these last days he had a iull trust that he should meet Mr. Kennedy in heaven. He mentioned it, how- ever, partly, he said, to show the danger of procrastinat- ing in the declaration of allegiance to Christ, and he (Dr. Hottome) always felt that the Church should have been able toclalin Mr, Kennedy for its own, and in this belief, he had reason to believe, Mr. Kennedy joined. At the conclusion of Dr. Bottome’s address a ortion of the juneral service was read by the Kev, rT.

A procession was formed in Fourteenth street— the police, the Odd Fellows, Masonic bodies, the hearse, containing the casket, and carriages, with the relatives ana friends of the deceased, which proceeded down Broadway to Broome street and along Grand street to the ferry.

The preparations on the Juniata, the vessel selected to go to Disco to search for the Polaris and crew, having been completed, she weighed anchor yesterday afternoon and proceeded up the Sound en route to her destination. Had the wea- ther been somewhat more favorable she would have gone outside. She will probably touch at Sp. Johns, N. F., for an extra supply of coal and other necessaries. Commander Braine has charge of the humane" expedition, and it is understood that nothing will be spared to render it successful. ‘A splendid crew, it seems, has been selected for the occasion, while the officers are spoken of in the highest terms, Should the Juniata find the crew of the Polaris at Disco or Upernavick, she will return with them immediately to New York, or; in case she should learn of their whereabouts, efforts will be made to rescue them without delay.

Scenes in the Court and the Appearance of the Prisoner. The Case To Be Opened by the Prosecution To-Day. The Walworth case was begun in downright earnest yesterday in the Court of Oyer and Ter- miner, and, to the amazement of almost everybody whe was in any way directly or indirectly inter- ested in it, the twelve jurymen were secured be- fore the final adjournment of the Court late in the afternoon, How this most extraordinary result ‘was brought about it would be very hard to gay It may be that the counsel for the defence were anxious to get the case hurried up as quickly as possible, convinced, as they are said to be, that public opinion just now is very favorable to the prisoner, and that they therefore believed that delay in the matter was dangerous to their cause, The fact was shown, however, during the examina- tion of the jurors summoned in the two panels that, with but two or three exceptions, every man HAD MADE UP TIS MIND about the case; had in fact formed, if nota fixed opinion, at least an opinion about tne guilt or innocence of the prisoner derived from reading the newspapers. In former celebrated cases the fact of a man’s having read the papers at all and having derived an opinion from what he had read concern- ing the cases was suilicient to throw him out of Court a8 incempetent, It 1s true that the counsel in this present case of Walworth might have easily been more exacting than they weré and prolonged their warfare of selection for several days, if not weeks; but it is surmised that the abolishment of the trier system (the placing of the power of old in- vested in triers in the presiding Judge) had a good effect yesterday, and made the prisoner’s counsel less anxious than they otherwise might have been to endanger the number of their peremptory chal- Yenges, ci?" eit ; Pent ~_ cee THE COURT OPENED. * : The Court was opened at Nalf-past ten o'clock promptly, the crowds that sought for entrance at the doorways consisting chiefly of the jurors | who had been summoned to appear. The prisoner was brought in by Sheriff Brennan and one of his depu- ties, and was shortly afterward followed by his mother, who was attired in deep mourning. She was accompanied by the Rey. Mr. Barker, of Schenectady, brother-in-law of the late Chancellor Walworth, Her little son, aged about seven years, also accompanied her. During the afternoon the Rev. Father Walworth, brother of the victim of the prisoner, arrived, and took a seat beside his sister- in-law. The greeting between him and the prisoner was quite cordial, HOW THE PRISONER LOOKED. ‘The latter was neatly dressed ina suit of black broadcloth, the edges of a white vest being allowea just enough room near the lapels to set it off fash- jonably. His hair was carelessly brushed back from his forehead. As he took his seat he looked around at the audience in as unconcerned a man, ner as though he himself were endeavoring to see where the prisoner was. MIndeed. there was just the least bit of bravado about his manner during the entire day. This was unmistakable—in fact, Tather positive—whenever he was called upon to stand up and look upon whatever juror was chosen to be one of the twelve. Whenever one was ac- cepted and the Clerk bade him to rise he did so quickly, always being careiul to thrust his right hand partly under the lapel of his coat and threw back his head in a way that said plainly as actions could say it to the audience, “You see, gentlemen, I’m not the least bit irightened. It might be venturing too much to say that he seemed to be desirous of acting the part of a hero, know- ing that he was the central figure in the proceed- ings and that all eyes were upon him; still his cool- hess and general air and jaunty don’t-care-a-snap way of acting naturally led one to believe that in- stead of looking upon himself as a person whose life was in danger, he was sure of being lauded for what he had done, and that thus believing he felt that he had a right to wear an air of one worthy of being admired. THE EXAMINATION OF THE JURORS was quite a tedious affair, but occasionally the mo- notony of the examination and cross-examiuation was relieved by the appearance upon the stand of some individual who seldom reads a newspaper, or who, anxious to get on the jury, was not reluctant to split ee hairs aud argye with the lawyers and even with the Judge himself. The four counsel in the case—Messrs. O’Conor, Beach, Garvin and Davis—all sat near one another, the prisoner sit- ting close beside and behind them, so that he was able at all times to speak to them tf occasion re- quired, But ouce, however, difring the entire pro- ceedings, did either of the counsel find it necessary or expedient to consult with the prisoner or his immediate friends, aud that was while the eleventh juror, Mr. Millbank, was being examined. Mr, Beach conducted all the examinations on the part of the counsel, Mr. O’Conor and the others simply sitting by, and, whenever there was doubt as to whether @ juror in the box was to be Loo bey or not, putting their heads together in consultation. However, while Mr. Beach’ was examining Mr. Millbank, Mr. O’Conor went back to where Mrs. Walworth was seated aud had a short conversation with her, and straightway, after he had returned to his seat and spoken to his associatek, Mr. Mill- bank was accepted, Mr. Phelps, the District At- torney, not objecting. The prisoner paid the ut- most attention to the questioning of the jurors and their replies, and several times grinned with mer- riment When some stupid answer was given in reply to a plain question; notably so in the case of one individual, named Levi Harris, Jr., who con- tended that, on reading the account of the murder in the papers, he had formed an opinion which he had got rid of since, and had now no opinion at all about the homicide, even though he couid remem- ber all the material facts he Tread about in the papers. THE USUAL DISPLAY OF IGNORANCE. There were some extraordinary specimens of the ignoramus examined, as well as of the knowing Kind, who imagine that they are in duty bound to go into metaphysics in order to make @ lawyer understand anything. One man named Marr created a great deal of suppressed laughter by his dissertation on the difference between an impres- sion and an opinion and by the ridiculous want of confidence he had in himself. The most brilliant sample of total ignorance was James W. Tucker, who coolly said that he hadn't at any time before coming into coart heard a word about the case that was to be tried; indeed, had never heard the name of Walworth. 'He finally said that he didn’t generally read the papers, which contession settled his fate, and he was joyously claimed by both sides as one meet to rank among the twelve good men and true, Another bright particular citizen, when asked if she had conscientious scruples against hanging, replied that he had; but if proof enough could be had to show that the prisoner was guilty of murder he would have no scruples, It was a quarter past four when the last pies Gra! was secured, to the great relief of every- ody in the court room. THE JURY, The following are the jurymen selected :- Joseph H. Horton, jeweller, 25 John street. Jacob A. Chamberlain, provisions, 519 West Thirty-third stree: dames W. Tucker, machinist, 226 West Twenty- ninth str John P. Bell, lumber, 210 East 118th street, Bernard Kemble, plumber, 203 East Forty-sixth street. John Henry Lewis, builder, 673 Greene street. inde H.

Millbank, brewer, 13 East Twenty- fourth street. George W. Wright, grocer, 16 University place. THE JURYMEN DESORIBED. Tho first juryman 1s a bright, intelugent-looking man, avout thirty years of age. and wili apparently have a mind of his own during the trial, and not be led away by any outside issues or appeals to sentiment that may be made by either side in the case. The second is quite a young man, and very intel- ligent-looking. le bas a frank, open countenance and a general manner that evidently had a win- ning effect upoa both sides, as he was accepted Without being questioned at any great length. The third is the man who scarcely ever reads the papers, and who had never heard the case spoken about anywhere. He has, strange to say, a high, fall forehead, that betokens at least pienty of room for brain behind, but has a general look of stupid- ity that is unmistakable, The fourth is @ bald-headed man with side whis- kers, who 18, to all appearance, of about the average intelligence of what are called “ good" jurymen. The Ofth is @ tall, spare, nervous man, rather quick in his movements, with a pair of large blue eyes, that denote @ kindly heart. He will evident! be not one of the most bloodthirsty of the jury, if appeals to the heart, regardiess of the evidence, are made a feature in the case. The sixth is @ young man with a good-natured round face, offset in its paleness by a good head of red hair, He looks Intelligent, quick and active, and wiil doubtless be a weight in the jury room. The seventh is a thick-set man, alittle over the Ddgig axe, WH AU ODER, Igank soumsenance, thay Indieates honesty of pnrpose, and @ chin ani mouth firmly set, which betoken as much firmness 48 his eyes show of good nature, He is a mau whol will, one would judge, keep a keen eye and ear} Open tor the sworn evidence alone, and by thats Solely make up his verdict, The eighth is a tall, thin young man, with a clean shaven face, He ts, judging from general appear- ances, the brightest man on the jury, Poor ps exert a strong influence upon his fellows, should the case require a lockup for discussion after the Judge's charge, The ninth is a man somewhat over thirty, of the quiet and unexcitable kind, and ostengibly an in- telligent man, 3 ‘The tenth is @ middic-aged man, with light hair; tending to a crispy curl; stout and hearty Jooking, with @ world of good nature beaming out of his eyes, Still he has, when his countenance is in re- pose, a look of extreme firmness. The eleventh is & short, well-bulit man; quiet and deliberate in hig manner, as shown when he was on the stand, Evidentiy an intelligent man, of good common sense and judgment—a man, in fact, who, as a juryman, will not be apt to get off at a tangent, but ponder a long while before mak- ing a step one way or the other, lest he might, in acting hastily, take @ false step. The twelfth is a bluff hearty-looking man, about of the middle age, with a frank, open countenance, clear-headed, and of good judgment, as he de- noted by his answers to counsel when being examined, The trial will go on to-day at half-past ten o'clock. THE JUDGE'S WARNING. Jndge Davis, after the last juror was selected, addressed a few remarks to the jury, He said they could separate for that evening, but whether they would be allowed todo so at any other time dur- ing the trial, would be decided to-day. He also wave them the usual cautions, and hoped that the hewspapers would make no comments on the case while 1t was in progress. LONG BRANCH. The Discomforts of a Rainy Day at the Seaside—The President—The Influence of the Weather Upon His Sickness. LONG BRANC#, June 24, 1873, Long Branch, in tf midst of a drizzling cold rain, has none of the attributes of*a Summer watering place. A MORE DREARY PROSPECT than that seen from the hotels is imposgible to ime agine. In front, the frothy sea upheaves in never. ending monotony. A phantom sbip is discernible now and then vaguely through the thick drapery of fog that hangs above it, and the line of the horizon is wholly lost in the vapor, leaving one in doubt whete thé ocean ends and the sky begins, Both ocean and sky are equally cheerless, and both seem to be utterly wretched when out in the Tain. On the drive there is nothing visible but the long expanse of surface, dotted thickly by the pattering drops of rain in the wagon ruts. Here and there, perhaps, mfay be seen a drag, or fly or express wagon, but it is closely but- toned up, and the driver has hidden bimselg in some snug corner of the vehicle, to keep from the rain, and the whole concern has the appear- ance of Some bedraggled monster suffering the agonies of a wetting. The Summer houses on the beach and the music stands all look as uf they ought to be brought indoors, The prospect is not much more cheertul inside. OVERCOATS AND BLANKETS are in demand, and even coal fires are warmly weicomed by the more sluggish-blooded, while ho6. drinks are temporarily revived, and apple jack and brandy are in very unseasonable request. Groups have no way to amuse themselves except by cards or biliiards, and both cards and billiards seem very unconventional at the seaside and in the daytime, A few groups sit at the open door- way shivering and telling stories—the oft-told tales. of the past nalf dozen seasons—or recount old Jer- seymen’s NARRATIVES OF SHIPWRECK, inclnding the fate of the good ship Era which went down on thlayery. coast about seven years ago and three hundré™ lives were lost. The thrilling terror of these narratives enchains the attention, so far, epecieny when told as they are usually, by men: who saw and participated in them, that an un- christian desire to see a shipwreck takes posses- sion of the hearer, and some less considerate audi- tors express the wish that there might be just such a shipwreck there now. But wishes bring no ships to port, nor in the present instance to wreck, and the old Atlantie beats in its dreary, wet-weather way upon the Long Branch shore, guiltiess#there at least, of wrecks or ruin. ‘The rain has rendered EVERYTHING DREARY, the drive, the ocean, the landlords, the cottages,, the guests—everything except the grass on the lawns, which is already dancing and laughing under the happy showering. The landlords look, without. exception, blue. The slight cold snap has delayed. he season fora week. People that were coming are likely to unpack and wait till the city becomes: more unvearable. ‘Those that are here curse the weather and think it would have been better to remain in town a Week or 80 longer. Altogether the rain is a great discomtort to everybody. AS TO THE PRESIDENT, he, perhaps, enjoys it. He has not been out riding: to-day, being still @ sufferer from his attack of sickness. To the sick man rain t8 described in poetry a8 most refreshing, aud probably General! Jrant feels its influence in that way. He is not so ill, however, as to be unable to enjoy anything else. He will doubtless be in his usual health to-morrow. Gente Babcock arrived here to-day and called on im. The hotel proprietors bear this temporary eclipse; with hereic fortitude, and expect to ‘‘make hay” in the shape of @ large indux of visitors 43 soon aa, “sunshine” sets in again, THE WEST END HOTEL, although a comparatively new structure, has been, eae renovated, Witiiout, It is the only building’ of the kind in Long Branch which may lay claim to any consistent style of architecture; within, its large, cool halls, and corridors tastefully decorated, resent a sight which is at once imposing and re- eshing. Mr. Prestbury, one of its proprietors, is a gentieman of the old school, and does the honneurs with the grace and dignity of a feudal lord of some ancient castle. Among the distinguished residents of the West End Hotel are Miss Neilson, the trage- dienne, who is reposing here from her late ardu- ous labors preparatory to her departure for Eu- Tope. She 1s the observed of all observers, aud her gracefal presence lends a@ peculiar charm to the Spactous and clegant drawing room. There are also. expected at the West End Governor Whyte, of Maryland; Senator Stocktou, of New Jersey, and many other notables, BRUTAL AND PERHAPS FATAL ASSAULT. The Perpetrators Eacape=—Calling the Coroner, Coroner Kessler yesterday mgrning received in- formation from the Eighteenth precinct police that Frank Haverstraw, of 340 East Twenty-fourth street, assauited the evening previous, corner of Sixteenth street and First avenue, was lying in a very precarious condition from the effects of the injuries received. The report stated that Haver- straw was paralyzed on one side and unconscious. He ts under the care of Dr. Eisler, of East Ninth street. The Coroner, on calling at the house, found the injured man still insensible, and consequently unable to make @ statement. Upon making in- quiries the Coroner learned that early on Monaay evening Haverstraw, who is a barber, went wit! Frank Schmidt, a friend, to O'Reilly's store, corner of Sixteenth street and First avenue, and thera meeting one of his patrons slapped him familiarly on the shoul- der, to which some one objected. Several labayers in the place at the time then pitched upon Haverstraw, threw him into the street, after which he was kuocked down and most butaly kicked and stamped about tue head, side and ab- aomen, perhaps rupturing some of the blood vea- gels, and otherwise injuring lim internally. Mr. Haverstraw was removed to his house, and the police, it is aileged, made no determined effort to secure the assailants till after they learned that he was likely to die, when the sergeant in command, despatched three officers in search of the brutes, who made the attempt on Haverstraw’s life. It is Stated that @ man named Larkin was particular! active in his brutality to Haverstraw, and it is more than probable he inflicted the violence which may resuit fatally, Haverstraw, who is a quiet and respectable Man, has a@ wife and three children, Lackia was artested yesterday alternoon, THE VAN WINKLE BOGERY MURDER TRIAL The trial of Van Winkle Bogert for the murder of Ransom F, Burroughs was continued in the Pater- son Court yesterday. The cross-examination of Cornelius Bogert, brother of the defendant, seemed in no way to shake the important testimony he had given in behalf of his brother. Delia and George Garrabrant, brother and sister of Libbio Garrabrant, were examined for the defence; but their evidence was not characterized by any new facts of interest. The trial will be concluded now im two or three days, and all doubts of a verdict of acquittal seem to daily grow less dnd less, THE SINGULAR CASE IN MULBERRY STREET, Congestion of the Brain and Hydro- pho! Yesterday morning Deputy Coroner Leo made @ post-mortem examination at 65 Mulberry steert on the body of Tereza Cherra, the little Italian girl, six years of age, who died under such mysterious circumstances, as previously reported in tte HERALD. On opening the body Dr. Leo found con- gestion of the brain, and the convulsions, In his opinion, resulted from hydrophobia, It appeared that about two months go deceased was bitten by @ rabid dog, the brute having been shot soon afterwards by an oficer of the Sixth precinct. De- ceased had not been violated, and there seemed to be nothing Wrong with deceased other than noted by Dr. Leo, A certificate of death was given by Coroner Kessler. liquor
