8. LOVE AND MURDER. Se ectioemenenent & Brazilian Judge the Seducer and Mur- derer of a Young Girl. acceler Debauch, vrunkenness and Death—Chloroform the Instrument of the Crime—Brutality of a Bravo~Attempt to Ship Off the Corpse—Arrest. Rio JANETRO, Sept, 6, 1873, August 17 the capital of Maranham was roused trom its customary inanity by the discovery of an atrocious murder, committed by one of its chief men, high in the judicial ranks—one of the judges ‘of the Tribunal of Commerce ef Maranham—a ‘tribunal whose jurisdiction externas over one-Jourth ‘the immense Empire of Brazil. THE CRIMINAL AND HIS CRIME. Desembargador Pontes Visgueiro, the murderer, ‘was a judge of high reputation as well-as of high -eategory, a widower, sixty-live years of.age, whose ~character was unbiemisied, save by a liaison, trivial in this country of easy morality, with a girl of fifteen to sixteem years, which commenced about twe years ago, when she was ‘only fourteen years of age. The girl was of notoriously loose character; but the old judge -was infatuated with her, and for more than @ year he bore with her vagaries, her thefts, her drunkenness and her infidelities, At last the Btrained bow broke, the deep infatuation which had possessed him turned to a deadly hatred, and it would seem that about a year ago he employeda neutenant to make away with her, or as this officer now asserts, toindict a severe flogging on her. His agent fatled nim, and by the advice of his friends the oid jadge obtained a year’s leave of ab- Bence and set Out for a neighboring province, ap- parently to forget her, But even absence seemed only to have strength- ened ‘his murderous longing, for in three or four months he returned te Ma:anham, bringing with him one of the numerous bravos who turnish the ‘Weapons for personal or party hatreds in this coun- try, aman named Guilherming, and the bottle of cPloroiorm which played a conspicuous part there- after. THE DEADLY DEED Immediately alter his return the old Judge renewed his relations with the girl, and these continued without incident for nearly three Months. But on the lith of August the ancient over called the girl to his rooms, which were on the first floor. kind words, set bejore her sweetmeats, aud when She had partaken of them desired ber to enter the adjoining bedroom, Beuind the door was the bravo Guilhermino, and as the girl passed it he darted on her, squeezed her by the throat and thrust &gag into her mouth. ‘This done, the old Judge Tushed in to satiate his hatred, so long disguised. He forced the pinioned and gagged girl to inhale chiorotorm, and when she dropped senseless at his feet he stabbed her repeatedly with a poulard in the chest and stomach, cut her head nearly of, and, throwing himself upon her, actually bit her like a ravenous beast, in the madness of his rage and hatred. This he has told himself CONCEALING THE BODY. It had been no part of the Judge’s plan to sacri- fice himself while satiating bis murderous spirit. Some time before he had obtained zine lining tora small travelling case, such as they travsport on mules, and he had had mimsel! taught how to sol- der, providing himsel! with solder, acid and a tool. Into this case the body of the unfortunate girl was forced, and the zinc cover was carefully soldered down after filling the box up with lime. A passage to Card was taken for Guilhermino and the case Was to accompany him, to be dropped into the sea on the voyage. INQUIRY. Two or three days more and the bravo wonld | have leit with his charge; but meantime the mother and the tamiltars of the girl had become | alarmed at her continued apsence. To their in- quiries the Judge replied that he knew not where | She was. The Passport Oftice Was examined, but nothing showed she had left the city. The police Were communicated with, and after much hesita- tion—for desembargador is an awe-inspiring rank and can be dealt with only by the Supreme Court— the Chief of Police himself, with a large torce, sur- rounded the house at midnight of the 16th, and in the morning proceeded to A SEARCH OF THE PREMISES, As for the Judge himself they did not dare to hinder him going out to take, as he said, a walk. The house was vainly ransacked; but in the gar- den, just under the house eaves, some signs ot dis- turbance of te earth directed actention to a spot. The cutiasses of tbe poiice soon disinterred a case, | add, on jabbing a hole into it, biood and fetor issued trom it. By a medical examination the body ofthe girl was found doubied up in it, tue bead and one leg nearly severed {rom the trank, ARREST. Four accomplices were at once arrested; but, owing to the immunities of his rank, the Judge conid not be taken unless by an order of the su- | preme Court, and all that could be done was to Cause bim to be accompanied by a police ofiicial Of the rank of captain. The necessary order, however, will goon from Rio on the 10th to bring him here for trial.

STATEMENT OF THE PRISONER'S MOTHER. Mrs. Joho Magan stated substantially as fol- low! heard a@ week ago Saturday that bad stories were Sronlecing about Richards and Annie Jane, and that they had been seen out buggy rid. ing together. Annie Jane knew a great many p ple tn town and she might have met him withou our knowing it, for 8 to be out quite often. he never visited her at home. I told her what I heard, and she denied it at frst, and then after- ‘Wards said the reports were true. That was last Friday night She said he told her to go to Cinein- Nati and that he would marry her there, but I told her stie muet stand her ground and stay here. She Said he told her he had alwaya wanted her. but that she would never consent, and that now he had a hold on her ste would want to marry him. I went to Richards’ office with Annie dane and her little boy Saturday. He said :— “Well, Mrs. Hagan, what can I de ior you?” I said, ‘Mr. Richards, i don't want you to do anything for me, but for the tamfly; 1 guess you know what that He said, “hrs. Hagan, I'm willing to do any- hing I can.” ¢ void tim then the stories 1 had heard, and said that Annie had told me they were ‘true, and J said, “You are the one to biame for the frouble.

WAR AGAINST TOM SCOTT. Preparing for Another Fight in New Jersey—Old Monmouth Speaks. Every reader of the HERALD must remember the unrelenting war waged against Tom Scott and the Pennsylvania Ratlroad monopoly during the latest session of the New Jersey Legislature. 1¢ was on the floors of the Assembly and Senate nails at Trenton that was laid the foundation of the move- ment now so well known throughout the West- ern States as the Grangers’ organization. It was in little Jersey that monopoly sustained its first and only defeat, The monopoly in turn de- clared war against the independent representa- tives of the peopie. Foremost among the oppo- nents of the monopoly in tue Assembly was George W. Patterson, of old Monmouth. Then came Joe Letson, 0: Middlesex. Both had to contend against the moneyed power of the railroads, but they have been just renominated, the iormer for Assembly, the latter for Senator for Middiesex, Both are democrats. Patterson received a most enthusiustic ovation at Freehold on Friday night. He declared that he contended not against Tom Scott, but against the monepoly of which he 13 the head, and he would travel through the entire State, if necessary, to arouse the people | against so iniquitous a power, Old Monmouth could never forget the bloody footprints leit by those who delivered New Jersey from despotism, and he thought Monmouth ought to be in the foreground during the fight. The sceue in the hall of the Convention was one of wiid enthusiasm, Mr. D. V. Conover telegraphed the news to the friends of free ratiroads throughout the State. The nomination of Letson was almost as remark- abie, for his opponent, a member of the tribe of Levi, is outspoken on belialf of Tom Scott. This | will thereiore be an exciting contest. Letson | declares that he will scatter copies Of the free 1ail- Toad law in every Village and hamlet throughout the county, so that the people may know for thein- Selves What are the issues of the campaign. In Hoboken, too, the cry istaken up. Last even ing Major B. F.

POOR JACK’S TRIBULATIONS, A Mate of the Ship St. Charles a Fugi- tive from Justice for Brutality—The Shanghacd Crew of the Ship Baltic, from New York, Composed of Tailors, Barbers, Shoemakers, Carpenters and Grocers, Doing Duty Before the Mast.

About a month ago the North- ern Light entered port with the seconu mate, Shiel, in irons, because he shot at one of the seamen. He was turned over to the United States authorities aud is now in State Prison, Captains suould either surrender their brutal officers, | paeeel or hold themselves responsibie belore the laws. The same Issue of the Alta contains the following, which should be immediately investigated by the eal ag authorities:—The ship Baltic, irom New York, arrived in port on Wednesday, with a crew | of landlubbers in the forecastie aud a grateful cap- tain on the quarter deck. The Balticleft New York, for San Francisco, wita a fair prospect o! reaching | any point but the place of destination.

The captains and consignees, or many of them, favor the landlords because they profit b and it oiten happens that @ captain is giad or a crew irom any source. The Captain of the Baltic was treated to acrew outside the Shipping Com- missioner’s office, every one of whom Was shang- baed. But the Captain proved to be an exception to the average of his class, He is a humane man, who saw what he had to deal with and measure his conduct aecordingly. He did not himesell ill- treat or abuse his men or permit any of his officers todo so. He taught them without the application of belaying pins. When the drowsy creatures awoke from the stupor into which they had been thrown by the drugs administered to them by the landiords their surprise can be imagined. They Were at sea; they were on a new territory, of which the captain was king, and from which there was no side door or means of escape. It was not neces- Sary to tell the Captain their story; he knew aud appreciated it. When the Baltic entered port the facts about the shipping of the crew became known, and, ike Sensible fellows, the spanghaed are now iooking around them for damages. They have made com- plaint to the United States Attorney, and Mr. Mor- row has their case nowin hand, That shanghaing isa crime there can be no doubt, but this is not the question which enters most deeply into the case, Its developments will attract general in- terest, as it ts one of vast importance to com- merce.

The prayer meeting last evening was crowed. Toward the close an excitement was caused by some one having a fit, everyone thinking it a fire, and getting ready to make a general stampede. Alter they were quieted a man rose to speak, WiO has persisted in making himsel! very disagreeable for a coupie of weeks. He had spoken once before and he now began to make aspeech about the dis- turbance, when Mr. Beecher said :— “My friend, once in an evening is suficient.” After the usual services Mr. Beecher said :—The subject of last Mig night has brought a great many inquiries, both by letter and word of mouth. Lhave been asked to speak of the physical bile drances which affect the development of a higher life. I apprehend, before we go into that matter, IT might as well say that, with rare exceptions, there are few who enjoy the tranquility of a high spiritual lite, Now and then we find a nature harmonious, cheerful, joy-producing, 30 that to throw off care and be happy abe e but the greas body of men hive in practical, business ile, with their share of enjoyment, We read of EXTRAORDINARY EXPERIENCES, butit is very seldom that books put in interme- diate experiences, They collect the most remark- able instances; itis probable that between these experiences come months, perhaps years, 0! quiet, commonplace life, but the impression given is that they live trom year to year im those experi- ences when in reality they may be very rare. For the most part these experiences must come in the line of a natural lite; it will be in conception of men pursuing their daily avocations, and it will show its results in various ways, The preparation of man for his dally energies is a divine inspira- tion, and we are not to think we are saints when we are as high as the beliry, and, like the beliry, ring out in loud tones, Now as to the hindrances—the constitutional hindrances—tnose which belong to earthly expert- ences. Clearly, persons cannot live in harmony With a law ana Violate it at the same time, any more than we can violate the laws O/ eating and have perfect health. A great Many persons are Ignorant They violate the law of God as written in the stomach. Then they are tempted of the devil; they think, they begin to have doubts and don’t see clearly. No wonder. But, then, disease oiten interposes between them and their perceptions, We are to bear in mind that the sou! at present is | in a sort of prison house ; we can compare the body to a building. Some bodies are as houses o! glass— periectiy transparent, and letting in ali the iizit— and some are as houses having windows, a great mauy of them; and some as having windows, but jew; and some as having small windows, and not clear; and some don’t seem to have any windows at ail, and you have to open the door, There is a vast diterence in the recognition of the spirit, and while we are praying for the gilts of God we must remember that the gifts are not all given alike; remember that they are given with respect to our needs and capacities. God develops men differently. Some through practical life; some men have entrancing views, and itis given to some men a lower form of living. So the divine spirit maniiests itsel/ ditter- ently in different persons, and ali these difterences are Wrought by the seli same spirit. I open to you the expression of the apostle himselfin order to cor- rect the view of continued high spiritual lite. He says, “i Was with you in weakness and in iear and iu much tremoling.” Now if the apostle went through such experience if the APOSTLE PAUL made such confession, it ought to comfort those bi ee not Pauls, Mr. er gave an ample opportunity for any A brother said :—To-day I was called lor to see an old man. 1 did not recognize him, but yet there was something in nis | jace that seemed ‘familiar, and aiter a while I recognized the superintendent of the first Sabbath school in which | ever worked as a teacher, I had lost sight of him since, It Was Jeremiah Taylor, brother of James Brainard Taylor, who, if you can Judge by his memoirs, was one of those men so constituted as to live in that higher iife you have told us_ of. Jeremiah ‘Yayior Was a merchant in New York, and yet found time to do a great many kind acts. He is always cheeriul and happy; he is notrich; he tailed in business, and he is a sort of missionary, going round, always cheerful, aiways happy. 1 never saw him when he had had avy ecstatic experiences, Another brother said—You were asked last Fri- day night how this higher lve was obtaimed. You suid you were not prepared to answer them. Are you prepared now? dir. Beecher said—I have satd that the DIVINE INSPIRING works out in different individuals with diferent degrees ol power. In some it results in practical Wisdom, some patience, some charity and forbear- ance, but it gives to ali great elevation; but there are Many persons who do not think of themseives as Inspired, because of their humble position, but God recognizes it just as much as if he wrote his experience out in poems. All right experiences, from the 1owest to the highest, are iruits of the divine spirit, possible to all, and increased by edu- cation aud endeavor. If you ask me how to attain this you ask me to tell you how to do everything. You ask me how to be patient. I don’tknow any better way than to be patient when you don’t feel like it at all. But he who keeps himself nearer to God wiil be near the fountain of life. Work out your own salvation. You cannot pray itout. You can’t gett done joryou. 1 can get ready made clothes, but I don’t believe you can get ready made ciothes of God. He says “1 wili clothe you,” but the way he does it is to set you to sewing them your- seil, He helps us by teaching us to help ourselves, NEW METHODIST CHUROH IN BROOKLYN, Yesterday afternoon the corner stone of the Primitive Methodist church in course of construc. tion at the corner of Park avenue and Hampden street was laid with appropriate ceremony, in presence of a large assemblage.

THE CABLE TOWING ON CANALS, The first witness examined was Mr, Emerson Forte. He said:— 1 am director of the Steam Cable Towing Company and hold coutrolling stogk of the company; [think we have demonstrated Its cheapness and speed, und have done tt Atsueh rates as the boutmen would ‘pay to us, which have been horse raws; although we bave not made our full expenses this sumer, and. until we cam equip the 1uil portion of that canal trom Albany to Butlalo, we can- notexpectto do all their business, yet our returns are very satisfactory. Mr. Emerson gave a number of details as to the receipts of the Cable Towing Company trom Buffalo to Lockport. ; THE CHEAP TRANSIT ASSOCIATION. After the testimony of the last witness Mr. Thurston, the Secretary of the Cheap Transit As- sociation, with Mr, Baker and other members of the association, entered the room and submitted their reports, substantiaily alike, aud of which the Jollowing is the most important:— MR. THOMAS F, LEES’ REPORT, Mr. Lees stated that to aid him in procuring fall infor- mation, Mr, Thurber, secretary of the associsuon, ad. dressed leiters to K. 0. Vilas General Agent of tue 4 ilway; J. H. Rotter, General Freight Agent of New York Central and Hudson «iver Railroad, and to J, L. Gassier, the New York Superiniend: ent of the Pennsylvania Railroad, who ture nished them with accounts of what is contemplated by their respective companies to entorce the (acili- ties for receiving and landity grain and other products at this point. There are no stationary ele- vators here, Mr. Lees said, and the main dependence is upon the lighter and stauonary elevator method of re- ceiving and transferring grain. Although this method is behind the age and is open (o other objections, it ap- pears there is no limit to the amount of grain that can be rece'ved and handled by the existing means, From the entieman referred to represenjing the three trunk ines it was learned that under the present system grain can be received and bandied more rapidly than the said trunk lines can receive from their connections and hand to this city. This tact conceded, not only directly refutes certain staicments made regarding our terminal facilities by parues inimical to the interests ot New York, but it 1s & powerful argument in favor of a new national double track ireigit road and other projects advocated by the Cheap Transportation Association. It also suggests the great economy in time and money attainable through im- Proved terminal arrangewens. The brie kailway Company has lor several years contemplated the con- struction of two large elevators, but have experienced diticulty in finding a site on its property that would furuish & proper foundation tor such structures, Recently an eligible site has been discovered, and it is probable that the company will soon commence work on improve* ments that wiil Increase the storage room for grain sev- eral million bushels. ‘The Erie Company has materially improved its facili- ties tor West bound traitic by constructing new and im- proved “tloaters.” It can now transfer fiity cars [oaded daily, amd’ proposes still further to Increase Its capacities in that direction, Sinail lots and fractional lots of grain often cause seri- ous detention to large lots, and otherwise obstruct the general business of railroads. ‘Yo obviate this difficult somewhat the New York Central and Hudson River Rail- road is building a new pier at Thirty-hird street, North th grain bins having a capacity of five car loads to each bin, and with an elevated track trom which cars can be rapidly unloaded. This improvement is to be completed betore the close of pavigatuion, and, besides fa- cilituing general busivess by relieving its ‘track, it is understood that it will double the company’s ability in handing grain. ‘The New York Central Company has also contemplated the building of an elevator, but has tound difficulty in obtaining a suitaple location on the tudson River. Other practical considerations have caused demy in undertaking the enterprise. Mr, Rutter believes a ‘gen- eral adoption of the grading system by the Produce Ex. change will stunulate the construction of elevators, All concur as to the necessity tor elevators, which will en- able an average train of gram to discharge in from ten fo fiticen minuies. Much might be said regarding other advantages appertaining to the ware house system, such &s the creation of iirst class collaterals in elevator re- ceipts, the Pennsylvania company is constructing a new grain track adjoining its new warehouses, which is an exiension of facilities under the old systein.. ‘The paver conciuded by saying that the aid and co-ope- ration of the New York Cheap Transportation Assoclation Proposes to give, through its severai committees, is just What is neeced to develop the desired improvements and bring our terminal facilities up to a first class standard. REPORT OF MR. BAKER, Mr. Baker, Chairman of the Cheap Transporta- tion Committee on ‘Terminal Facilities, said :— I desire to present to the committee the question terminal lacilities, because it Was supposed New York had these facilities. The warehouses Island are sully suitl- n rain arriving by canal, or that will arrive by canal, shouid we succeed in in: creasing its capacity 10) per cent. It we had elevators properly constructed at our railway terminus, we could save the lighterage on all transiers, but steamer grain, and, sowetimes, grain to be shipped by steamer. The ot that railroad centres here have yard and track accommoda- tion that 1s abandant, but because the “bulking” system ig not practiced, and ho warchouses are ready to receive it, much delay {s caused to and by small lots, consisting oiten of single car lots; thus one or two cars may not only cause delay to the whole train of which at forms @ part, but often to cars on the same track. Alter referring to the Jacilities tor handling to- -bacco and cotton, he said:— Our docks are far behind the ace, and the piers should all be covered and a railway for the convenience of moving products sould encircle the city at an elevation eyual vo the second story of the pier warehouses. All the blocking of trains at réceiving docks could be avoided. Now it not uufrequently occurs that from $5 to paid extra to cartmen to cover their time in wi an opportunity to discharge their loads. THE PORTLAND DELEGATION, Senator Windom, before tne evidence was taken from the Portland delegation, sa I wish to say, gentlemen, that the entire committee very greatly regret that ihey were unable to visit Port- land, Bosion and Burlington, They fully intendea to have done 80, but owing to the impossibility of keeving a quorum of the committee together until the meeting of Congress,and the tact that we find itindispensable to visit the south before making our report, we were reluc- tantly compelled to deny ourselves the pleasure and ben- efits of visiting those cities, STATEMENT OF MR. ANDERSON, Mr. Anderson, President of the Board of Trade of Portland, Me., calied the attention of the com- mittee to the geographical position of Fortland, as Compured with other cities. We are, he said, a day nearer Europe than New York or Boston. We are within 220 miles of Burlington, and, whenever the Caughnawaga Canalis built, steamers laden with the capacity of the lakes will land their cargoes at Swantum of Burlington, From those two points roads are now building, which will take thei and, alongside vessels of thirty-three feet depth. habor there that ls deep enough tor any steamer, ‘she hurbor is never frozen; there is no detention nor has there ever been by ice in the are simply three miles from the oc no chatice to iorm there, simply to three or four lines of steamers seeking our harbor in the winter that cannot go to Montreal. In Portland we have no expenses as to that harbor because the access is so perlectly plain, There are abundant sacilities there for warehousing and elevating. Steamers brought $45,00),W0 worth ct imports irom Europe last year, By Senator cherman—We have about twenty trains 4 day coming into Portland from Montreal by the Gi Grunk road. ‘the distance irom Poruand to Montreal is miles. By venator Davies—The cost per mile per ton is less than one-hait by water. ‘EMENT OF MR, HUSSEY. Mr. Hussey, President of a line of steamers, said :— The State of Maine is greatly interested in this question of trausportation. Itis a lumbering and a ship-buildin; ptate, and one object of the presentation of the argument of Mr, Anderson isin that direction. It has not veen essential to have compulsory pilotage for Portland Harbor, The State of Maine wants this cheap transpor- tation for the consumpton of food in her State, and also for the facilitation of business done with the British prov- Inces. We have very ample facilities tor doing a large msiESS, ‘ by ~enator Davies—The relative cost of water com- munication would be one-third per water and two- thirds by rail by the Grand Irunk road, Tbe committee then adjourned to half-past ten A. M. to-day, when, after taking some further tes- timony, the committee wiil be conducted by the Cheap Transportation Association along the bay, and the terminal facilities of railroads in the city shown them.
