Yesterday I interviewed the first “workingman’s candulate” returned to the House of Commons— Mr. Alexander McDonald, President of the Miners’ National Association, Chairman of the Parliamen- tary Committee of the Trades Unionists of Britain and Member of Parliament for Staiford. HIS HOME AND APPEARANCE. Holytown, where Mr. McDonald resides, small mining village, ten miles from G lying in a bleak mineral country, which at he is lit up far and near by the lurid fires of the vast smelting furnaces that so thickly stud this part of Western Scotland. The new Member of Pariia- ment resides on the secon Mat of a plain bat sub- stantiaily builteéwo story house on the main street of this village. I had the good fortune to find him “gt home” in his parlor, or, rather, his library, 1s a sow, for two sides of the room, which was by no means a small one, contained book shelves from floor to ceiling, and filled with volumes, mostly new and superbly bound, The third wall was covered with photographic views, all of which were American, and included a pic- ture of the Capitol at Washington, scenes from the battle fleid of Gettysburg and pastoral sketches of Maryland and Western Virginia. A large bronze bust of Dante stood in one corner, fanked on either side by two stuffed birds whose gay plumage had futtered in the Brazils. The honorable Member is a Scotchman, and was pre-eminently so i tue heartiness of his welcome. He is about fifty years ol age, is under the medium height, is of a broad, muscular build, with a tenaency to become stout and portly, His head is large and massive, with shaggy locks of coarse, wiry, gray hair; the eye 1s large and lustrous ana set in cavernous recesses that remind you of Daniel Webster; his voice is a sonorous barytone, and bis utterance 1s measured and emphatic, with bat little oi the Scotch accent, Although he is to--day a man of culture, of varied reading and of extended travel in the United States—for he was the first Englishman to traverse the American Continent by rail from New York to San francisco he yet started in lie at the age of eight years asa boy, and wrought tivelve years in the pits. It was from his hardly wrought earnings as a collier that he afterwards paid his fees asa student at the University of Glasgow. With an ambition to do some good in his day be thought of the pulpit as the sphere whence his influence might be most useiul; but encountering theological difficulties, he bade adieu to his Church aspirations aud be- came a teacher of a smaii school at Airdrie, a min- Afterwards, the miners having begun to organize ior the amelioration of img town near Glasgow. his way there. the by, the students of these jamous upiversit adopt offensive practices to those of Chetr teliows Who are ObnoXxioNs to them, which are a bad and in some respects worse than many ol the customs of the trades umonists now legis-ated against. These practices of the siudents, however, have had the good tortune to obtain & very mild name, and, however offensive, they may be still called “practical jokes.” The trades unionist, when he has indulged in the same freak, has had other treatment meted out to hum, and us acts have received another name, COKRESPONDENT—I presume you are tn favor of equal electoral districts, shorter Parilaments aud the payment of members ¢ Mr. MCDONALD—I am, CORRESPONDENT—And international arbitration ?

The Coroner placed a full commitment in the hands of Captain Irving, who may send Leahy vo the Tombs or possibly detain him at Police Headquarters, At allevents, Cap- tain Irving will hold himself responsible for the @ppearance o: Leahy at the ume appointed. Legal Effect of Superintendent Matsell’s Gpinion, a To Tue Eprrog or THE HERALD:— Rarely, Mr. Editor, have your columns contained an account of a more heartless, cowardly and iu- famous butchery than that of Michael McNamara of No, 530 West Twenty-ninth street. Six de- tectives (that is, men who detect nothing). armed to the teeth, break open a house swarming with people, without a warrant, at three o'clock in the morning. The frat notice given to the at- Irighted tenanis of the presence of these unlawinl intruaers is the tramp of heavy | footsteps, hoarse shouts and the noise | of falling doors. But what matters it? It is only done in @ tenement house, intabited by poor people, dnd surely they have no rights which six valiant (%) detectives need respect. These brave oficers of the law at length come to the rooms tenanted by Michael McNamara. Their actions resembled those of desperadoes, and when McNa- | mara prepares to defend those who are nearest | and dearest to him—his family and his home—he is ruthlessly shot down by a ‘nervous detecuve,” who, in utter darkness, suspects him to be a man Whom he had never before seen, But this is not sumi- cient, The heroic detectives threateningly brand- ish their revolvers in the face of their prostrate and dying victim, and all this is done in the pres- ence of his agonized wife and children, This is an outrage which concerns every mem- ber of this commupity; ior ifthe wrdngdoers are allowed to go unpunished a dangerous precedent Wil be established, Whose consequences are (00 terriole to be awelt upon here. A man’s house Will no longer be his castle, but wil be liable to be broken into at any hour of the night, without a Warrant, by men calling themselves detectives, who, however, wear no shields or other insignia betokening their ofice, Ifthe slightest effort should be made to resist the unauthorized intrusion, the ald of the leaden messenger of death is invoked, and the ‘nervous detective,” as Superintendent Matseil calls Leahy, 1s allowed to go on his way rejoicing In the thought that, though there is law, there is no one to execute it. But what lL consider to be one of the worst phases of this lament- able tragedy 1s the equivocal condemnation given to the acts of the detectives by their chie/, Superintendent Matseil, When asked wv, in his opinion, any biame attachea to the officers, he replies, “Well, yes, blame them somewnar; 1 they were careless and too hasty.’’ Really it is not surprising that such an act as the atrocious murder ct McNamara suould have taken place when the actors therein are only ‘blamed somewhat’ by tuelr cnief, and characterized as being merely “careless and too hasty.” These are the strongest terms of disap- robation which Mr. Matsell apples to the acts of his subordinates, Mr. Matsell lays down a rule of law, which, i! really correct, is 80 alarming in its eftects as to call ior immediate revision by the Legislature. He says:—‘The oficers had a right to go there, and they had @ right to smash the doors tn Wf they thought Dutch Hermaun was in any of the rooms.” If Superintendent Matsell would state his authority for this version of the law, that ofMicers have a right to burst in doors of tenement houses without apy warrant, acting only, on the mere suspicion that a criminal is secreted there, he will enlighten many lawyers on a@ point which, I believe, 18 generally supposed to be well settled the other way, The citizens of New York demand that, at tne Coroner's inquest, the case be thoroughly investigated, and the guiity parties punished according to law. AN INDIGNANT CITIZEN. Blood for Blood. To THE EDITOR OF THE iBRALD:— Isee by the evening papers that the police de- tectives subscribed among themselves tne sum of $500 towards a floral iribute to President Smith. Now let them each give $5 towards paying the faneral expenses of Mr. McNamara (and some+ thing for the support of the widow and her father- Jess children), who, as you are aware, one of their number murdered in cold blood, By giving this a place in your valuable journal it migat be tae means of softenivg their hard hearts, Yours, H. B. S., Futh avenue, FEBRUARY 26, 1874, Police Pistolings—Duty of the Grand Jary. To THE EDITOR oF THE HERALD:— As the HERALD has always stigmatized the reck- less sacrifice of human life as murder and never failed to demand punishment for wanton bioodshed I trust it will not fail to do so now. ‘The public are looking forward with deep inter- est to the verdict which a coroner’s jury will ren- cer in the case of the slaughter of McNamara by | the assassins who imvaded his domicile a few nights ago. Whatever may be the result of the Coroner's inquest, the Grand Jury shoulda not fail to investigate the case and indict the murderers. The awe-stricken community need some example | | of even-handed justice to assure them that thetr | lives and firesides are safe from the outrages of these red-handed minions of arbitrary authority. | Something must be done, and that soon, to put a | stop to the.reckless use of the pistol, orno citizen’s jife can be guaranteed irom the course of a stray bullet. Let us refer to a few cases of recent occurrence in which the pistol aud policemen or ex-police- | men and the wanton sacrifice of life are the main features. Only last week @ poor fellow, caught stealing chickens from a hen- Toost, was shot to death by a valiant private watchman in Brooklyn. Did tus petty theft de- serve death? If he had been arrested he might have been sentenced to ten days or a month in prison, or, perhaps, there might have been exten- uating circumstances in his case of destitutionand | Starvation that would have materially modified even such slight sentence. The watchman’s duty ‘The story that the poor fellow made a movement or his hand, which the vigilant watchman saw in the dark and supposed to be a tumbling for a pistol, is all bosh. The same threadbare excuse has been put forward by all murderers, not excepting Stokes, Walworth and every cold-blooded assassin, and it has in- variably been proved that the victims were un- armed. And yet this man has not only been ab- solved irom ail blame, but even commended. So much for the Vaiue 0: human life in this commu- nity.

The bullet went right through the poor woman’s head, s0 we have never heard her side of the story. But some evil disposed persons tm that neighborhood have thougnt that it might be an easy Way to get rid of an inconvenient wile. A few days ago a Hoboken watchman veat a boy for snowbailing bis dog. A passing citizen remon- strated on his cruelty, and was at once chased by the irate policeman, who blazed away at him with his pistol. One of the shots inflicted a serious | wound, and but for the interposition of some courageous passer-by, Who pinioned the murderous | shooter from behind, one or more lives might have been lost. Butin this case the outraged popular | sense of right waa aroused and nearly executed justice on the would-be murderer, | Iv is not long since a man was shot at for stepping into another man’s alleyway and committny ! nuisance. And now we have the coid-piooded wurder of an unoffending citizen by a gang of ruffians, who say they were in search of a man who | is only suspected of crime, ‘These various cases, right in our midst, and all yet iresh im our recollections, have been brought in review to show that something must be done to check the wanton tse of the pistol and to put some safeguards around human life, They reveal a state Of barbarism that is a disgrace to the country and the age.

The Murder of Mary Lawtor—Officer Doyle Removed to the Tombs—He Realizes His pBituation—A Mother's Grief—The Post-Mortem Examination, Yesterday atternoon Dr, Shine made an autopsy at No, 183 West Houston street on the body of Miss Mary Elizabeth Lawlor, the young woman who was 80 brutally murdered by police- man Joan Doyle, of the Fifteenth precinct, at her place of business No, 83 South Filth avenue, a8 heretolore fuily published in the HeRALD. A pistol shot wound was discovered on the left side of the face half an inch below the eye and half an inch to the teft of the nose, the face on the left side being covered with powder marks. A probe being passed the bait was found to have passed through the eye, through the roof of the orvit, fracturing the orbital plate of the frontal bone, the eihnoid and lower wing of the sphencid vones. The calvartum being removed the bullet was found to have passed through the interior lobe ofthe left hemisphere of the brain; arriving at the middle lobe 1t passed slightly to the right, jacerating the middle lobe of the right hemisphere of the brain, and was found lying beneath the dura mater, which membrane was lacerated, There was an extensive fracture of the right parietal bone, close to tae suture. Death, in the doctor's opinion, was caused py & pistol shot wound of the bead lacerating the brain. Jobn Doyle was removed to the Tombs at alate hour on Wednesday evening, and was assigned cell No, 41, on the second tier, A HekALD reporter called yesterday morning atthe prison to elicit from Doyle some additionai particulars of tue mur- der, but Warden ion stated that the prisoner had requested him tospare him 4 THE INFLICTION OF ANY INTERVIEWS, The keeper said that Doyle bad not slept all night and seemed to realize his teriible situation.

Doyle had supported his mother and sister, One of the attachés of the prison, who Doyle when he rose from bed, suid that traces of tears were allover his tace, and that he had no doubt he bad been crying all night.

One of vhe girls who was at work with Mary Lawlor In the shop just before the latter was called away by Doyle relates the circumstances as foliows:— “We were all working here quietly, when some- body Knocked at the door. in charge went to open the door, Doyle stood out- side and asked for Mr. Baumann, He was toid that Mr. Baumann was not in, He hesitated awhile as if he did not quite know what todo.

She put on her hat and went out, bidding us pleas- antly, ‘Goodoy.’ That was tne last time we saw her alive, ‘or when we beneld her again SHE WAS ALREADY A CORPSE. She might have been away about fifteen min- utes, and we all supposed that she was at home by that time, when, all of a sudden, we heard a shot and a heavy, dull fall, We ati rushed out in the hall; behind the street door we saw the poor girl lying dead on the floor. Doyle was sitting beside her, and hung nis head; but every now and then he looked up with an ugly stare, He said something about “shooting,” and put his hand into his pocket, as though he wanted to draw his pistol again, but was prevented from doiug so by the oiicers, who, fortunately, had already arrived oy this time. He dragged her about after he had killed her and acted like a wild brute. I saw no evidences of intoxication in his appearance. I think he was quite sober, and imew perlectly what he was dong.” one of the gentlemen connected with the estab- lishmeut gave the murdered girl an excelient character. “She was one of the most sociabie, in- offensive and gooa-natared girls I ever saw,” he said; “she never said ap angry word to any ove in this establishment. i don’t velleve any one could have made her angry, she was such an amiable, This gentleman expressed the opinion that Doyle must have gugged her wheu she stood in the hallway, else she would surely have screamed when she saw the pistol. The scene at the rooms occupied by the Lawlor family, at 188 West Houston street, was a heart- rendingone., There was such a rush of people who one to gloat over the remains of the poor girl and to SATISFY A MORBID CURIOSITY that Mr. Lawlor, the jather, had to send for a po- liceman to keep the crowd back. A wake was held night belore last and all day yesterday. Tue mother’s intense griet was expressed by a few touching words which she uttered while the re- porter was present. She had that dulled air of periect abstraction of temporary stupor which overwhelming mental suffering frequently gives, i) | and with that vacant expression she Tooked her- self unconsciously in the chair. ‘0, my poor beloved daughter 1s dead,” she said, swaying to and fro, “my poor, dear child is gone.” Mary Lawlor, on whose support the family prin- cipally depended, was a plump, brigut-looking girl of twenty-one, with a iresh, florid complexion, | brown hair and blue eyes, All those who knew her and.with whom the reporter conversed agreed that she was “a pretty girl.’’ Her body was put into arude coffin. The face was sadly distorted by the wound, and bore still THE MARKS OF THE POWDER. The eye through which the ball had gone was aw- fully lacerated and fearful to look at. Mrs. Lawior’s anguish was so Keen that when she saw Doyle at the police station she asked her husband to give her # pistol so that she might shoot Doyle. vVoro- ner Wolunan prevented the father trom carrying out her wish. ‘The tunerai will take place to-day, and the re- mains of this innocent victim of mhumanity will soon rest in peace in Calvary Cemetery, SOCIAL TEA GATHERING AT BETMANY CHAPEL, i Bread and Beef at a Discount and Tea and Coffee Above Par. A social tea gathering was held at Bethany chapel, corner Thirty-sixth street and Ninth ave- | nue, last evening. Before the temperance crusade was inaugurated it was a popular idea that there could be no social enjoymeat without the stimulat- ing influence of wine; but this must surely be a mistake. Church societies have various methods of promoting social intercourse, and the proof that their gatherings are enjoyable is found in the fact that, as a general thing, they are well HBRUAKY 27, 1874.--TRIPLE SHEKY.

He expiained the necessity for the bill, and in the discussion which ensued Mr. Bxck, (dem.) of Ky., condemned the interpreta- tion given by the Treasury Department to tho law which requires unexspended balances to be covered into the Treasury every two years, the interpreta~ tion being that the time begins to ran, not from the passage of the act, but from the issuing of the warrants lor the money. He asserted that under this construction there was a sum of $72,000,000 now in the Treasury to be used at the discretion of the Department. Mr. RANDALL, (dem.) of Pa., suggested that under these circumstances the pending bill should be put in the shape of a precise new appropriation. Messrs.
