6 CONGRESS. The Investigation Into Ex-Secretary Boutwell’s Bookkeeping. A Reference to the Finance Committee. The Payment of Interest on the 3.65 | District Bonds. THE ALCOHOLIC LIQUOR TRAFFIC. SENATE. WasmixGron, Jan. 24, 1876, Mr, Snexmay, (rep.) of Onio, called ap the Senate bill to provide for a commjssion on the subject of the alco. holic liquor trafic, He said this bill was the same in substance as the bill passed by the Senate at the last session on the same subject, The bill had been re- ported by the Finance Committee, in accordance with the request of a large number of petitionera Mr. Bocy, (dem.) of Mo., said he was opposed to such bills being brought before Congress. A matter of this nature should be legisiated upon by the States. Con- gress was gradually drawing from the States all mat- bers of legislation and assuming to pass upon them and thus doing great injustice to the States. Pending the discussion the morning hour expired, and the Chair laid before the Senate the unfinished business, being the resolution of Mr. Morton in regard to the recent election in Mississippi. Mr. Morrow said his health was in such a condition that he would not be able to continue his remarks to- day. THE ACCOUNTS OF THE TREASURY. Mr. Davis, (dem.) of W. Va. called up the resolution | submitted by him a few days e in- | vestigation of the books and accounts ot the T ry | Department. The pending question being on the mo- | Mion of Mr. Edmunds to amend the resolution 0 as to | by the Committee on Fi- ttee show that the state. have the inv ance instead of a special con Mr, Davis said he expecte ments made or remarks were fully Sustained that the ex- lanations of several Senators, and especially of the enator {rot acbusetts (Boutwell), were not well founded, and could not be sustained by the financial re- ports He (Davis) had been told that his statements might afect the public credit, It was tar from him to injure the public credit, and what he bad said was intended to be m the interest of the public credit, The true friend of the public eredit was not one to at- tempt to cover up errors or irregularities, but one who | Bitempted to bave them corrected. He quoted from the remarks of Mr. Boutwell in regard to the composi- tor having transposed the Indiau and Pension expendi- tures one year, and said he could not discover that any transposition had been made, as the figures were the game in each report. He could not find where any cor- rection was made, He (Davis) again quoted from the financial reporis, and argued that they had been changed, and that the Senator {rom Massachusetts (Boutwell) had pot noticed several items which he Davis) referred to in his former remarks. He (Davis) 4 been told that from the very nature of things the reports from the different officers of the Treasury could Bot agree. How was it that they agreed from the or- Fanization of the government up to 1869, and also | agreed for the past twoor three years? What has | been generally known as the Pagific Railroad debt had been reported by Mr. McCulloch as part of the public debt, amounting to about $60,000,000, In 1870 it was stricken from the public debt statement, placed in another table and treated not as 4 part of the | public debt, but asa debt of the Pacific Ratiroad, In that year there was an apparent reduction of the pubhe | debt, but it was only apparent, The country gave | tredit to the administration fora large decrease in the | the District of Columbia, reported a bill directing the | Commissioners for the District to transfer to the Treas- erer of the United States for the payment ot the inter- est on the 365 bods, due on February 1st next, $222,797 from any unexpended appropriations hereto- fore made by Congress, or from any revenues derived from taxation, provided that all certificates heretofore issued by the Board of Audit—ineluding those con- verted into 3.65 bonds and those not eo converted—and all certificates hereafter to be issued by the Board of Audit shall not exceed in the aggregate $15,000,000. Mr. RawpaL. remarked that the amount already issued was $14,209,000, and he was opposed to allowing that amount to be increased. Mr, Hotmay, (dem.) of Ind., moved to amend by striking out the figures “$222,797” and inserting the words, “The sum necessary to pay the same.” The amendment was agreed to. Mr. Woop, of New York, inquired of Mr, Buckner whether his committee had considered the question whether the government was hable for these bonds to & greater amount than was due at the time of the pass- age of the law. Mr. Buckwer replied that the committee had not in- quired into that question, It was supposed that the Amount, when the bill passed, would not exceed $4,300,000, but it had gone far beyond that amount» Mir. Rawbatt moved to amend by limiting the amount of the 465 bonds to $14,300,000, and ip discuss- | ing his amendment he denounced the extravagance of the Commissioners. Mr. Woop, of New York, questioned whether the | House was not, in the passage of this bill (which au- | thorizes indirectly the payment of interest upon these | bonds in excess of the amount originally authorized), | recognizing the obligation of the government to pay | the principal and interest on the bonds thus issued in excess, Mr. Buckyem replied that that question was not necessarily involved in this bill, and that, therefore, he | did not intend to discuss it, It'wasa serious question whether the government was not bound to pay the bonds illegally issued. This bill provided that the in- terest should be paid out of money in the United States Treasury and collected from the revenues of the Dis- trict, so that ft would be in exact compliance with the requirements of law. It was in that interest of law and | justice that this bill should be passed at ouce, and that ‘the Commissioners should have authority, if they did | not have it now, to use money now in the Treasury for the payment of this interest. Mr. RANpALL remarked that they had that power now, and he was not willing to take any step which would increase the obhgation of the government in the | matter. Mr. Bockyer said that this bill did not increase the | obligation of the government in that connection. Mr. Ranpatt suggested that it might strengthen the claim that the government must pay the interest and see that the principal be paid. Mr. HOLMAN moved to strike out the proviso limiting the amount of 3.65 bonds and imserting in lieu of it the following proviso:— : And any further issue of 3.65 bonds is hereby prohibited. The motion was agreed to, Mr, Tucker, (dem,) of Va, offered the following amendment ;— And provided farther that nothing herein cootained shall | involve the government of the United States in any obliga: tion to pay the principal or interest of any bonds that have Deen issued contrary to or not in pursuance of law. Agreed to, Mr. Kassoy, (rep.) of Iowa, offered an amendment reserving {rom the provisions of tbe bill the revenue received for school purposes. Adopted, ‘The biil as amended was then passed. Mr. Giovgr, (dem.) of Mo., offered a resolution for the appointment of a select committee to Inquire Into the nature and history of what is known as the ‘Real | Estate Pool,” in which Jay Cooke & Co. were in- terested. Adopted, Mr. BaxwinG, (dem.) of Obio, offered a resolution calling on the Secretary of War for intormation as to the pay and allowances of arty officers stationed in Washington since March, 1869. Adopted, Mr. Wuirguousx, of New York, offered a resolution instructing the Committee on Civil Service Reform to inquire imto any abuses or frauds which may exist in the administration and execution of existing laws affecting any branch of the public service. Adopted. THR PREEDMAN’S BAVINGS BANK. Mr. Rarxer, (rep.) of 8. C., oftered a resolution calling on the Secretary of the Treasury for a full and com- plete report from the Commissioners of the Freed- | man’s Savings Bank. Adopted. The SPxakgR announced the appointment of the fol- lowing additional members on the Committee on Ex- aditures in the Department of Justice :—Messrs, Dur- | Pam, ot Kentucky; Cochrane, of Pennsylvania; Mc- public debt; but, iu fuct, a large part of such a decrease was due toa change tn the manner of bookkeeping. | He then read from the remarks of Mr. Sherman to tho | effect that it would be a bold and wise man who would | Aiteropt to Improve the work of Aiexander Hamilton, | Gallatin and other financiers, and said it seemed to pis (Davis) that this bold and wise man was found in 870, because the accounts were changed then. In | tonclusion he said the matters he bad presented de- manded prompt investigation and correction, At first nearly ali Senators were in favor of a special commitiee making the investigation, now it was proposed to have it made by the Finance Committee, a majority of the members of which were favorable to the adininistra- tion. Surely that would be sending the child to an un- friendly nurse. The question beng on the amendment of Mr. Ed- Munds to strike out the special committee and insert Mabon, of Ohio; and Cougor, of Michigan. | Mr. Hoimax, of Indiana, olfered a resolution instruct- ing the Judiciary Committee to inquire whether im- proper and fraudulent means were resorted to in order | to influence legislation on the Texas Pacific Railroad | bill of the 3d of March, 1871, and whether contracts and | combinations were subsequently entered into by the | company in violation of that act. Adopted, The House, at half-past four o'clock P. M., adjourned, THE STATE CAPITAL NO QUORUM IN THY SENATE—LOCAL BILLS IN THE HOUSE—BATHS FOR BROOKLYN—SCANNEL | DECLARED TO BE SANE BY THE STATE COM- | MISSIONERS. the Committee on Finance, so that the investigation shall be made by the latter committee, it was agreed | fo—yeas, 28, nays 22, Mr. Booth, of California, voung | with the democrats im the negative.

TUK ALCOHOLIC LIQUOR TRAFFIC. The Senate then resumed the consideration of the bill to provide for a commission on the subject of the alcoholic liquor trafic. Mr. Summaay said this bill had been fully debated at the last session of the Senate. The expense involved in the proposed investigation was not over $10,000 and the result of t would be a vast amount of useful in- formation. He believed that ab inquiry of this kind made by sensible men would be of great use No State | a3 in sad could make the investigation because none had the | command of statistics to prosecute the ingu Mr. Bayarb, (dem.) of Del, said that in bis opinion ‘this i# not the way, nor is (his the proper place to treat ject, If the imvestigation was to be made to Procure iniormation in regard to the taxation of liquors Mt was unnecessary, a8 the Secretary of the Treasury @iready had the fullest information in regard to the Matter. No question was o! more importance than that Of regulating the use and abuse of intoxicating drinks Dut it could not be dealt with safely by egisiation dased upon sentimentality. There was a domain of morals and a domain of law, He argued that this matter was ‘Within the province of the State governments aud could Mot ve treated by the United States, and said this ag- grandizement 0! the powers of the States by the (ederal government is one of the radical evils of our time. He Would vote against the bill, believing that legislation to feform the vice of intemperance only increased the evil, He submitted an amendment instructing the Commission to inquire whether the use of opium as a Substitute for alcohehie dri had not become more general in consequence of legislation. Mr, Saxaaay said the use of spiritous liquors was the cause of crime in all parts of the world and caused beggary and poverty. This vice was almost universal, and it seemed to him that the Congress of the United Biates might weil give the subject full and fair exam- Imation, He was not in favor of prohibitory but he Uelieved the passage of this bill would promote the sommon good and Congress had the right to pass it Mr. Bayarp sad any physician could show where | coercive laws had been passed to prevent the sale of liquors as a beverage the use of opium had become more general, and that was far more injurious than liquor. j it, Hows, (rep.) of Wis., spoke in favor of the bill, and hoped the Senate of the United States would not decline fo make the small appropriation asked jor. He thought | She argument of the Senawr trum Delaware (Mr. | Bayard) premature, ws this was not o bill to prevent | She sale of liquor, j ‘The amendment of Mr. Bayard was rejected, Mr. Mounint, (rep.) of Me., said while the whole es regulating the sale’ ot intoxicating drinks jouged primaniy to the States, he could seo «that «this)=—i ill), «swan for the good of tbe whole country, and the inquiry proposed should be made. The government autuorized the mau- Qtacture and importation of alcoholic liquors, and surely Congress iad the right to inquire into a subject which brought revenue to tho government The in- quiry should be made as to the moral, social, and econ pmic aspect of the liquor trafic. The question was not anew one at all.

STATISTICS OF THE MILL MANUPACTURE. Alleged Losses Sustained by the Company. DESTITUTION IN THE VILLAGES. r Lonspatx, R. L, Jan. 24, 1876 To-day commences the third week of the strike, and it was never supposed that the operatives would have continued to present so united a front as they did this afternoon at their mass meeting at Barry’s Hall, It was the most enthusiastic meeting that has been held thus far, and it was attended by a larger number than has attended any of the previous meetings, Every inch of standing room was taken up, and many were obliged to remain outside, Mr, Lewis presided, A mem- ber of the Accident Society (formed from the Carders and Pickers’ Union) etated that he wag authorized by that sdciety to turn over $30 to the Relief Committee of the strikers, and to convey to them their sympathy and their disposition to ald them all they could, Mr, Lewis stated that he felt it to be his duty, as chairman of the meeting, to visit the Goddard Brothers and see what he could do forthem; that he went unofficially and would give the meeting the re- sult of the interview, A question was raised as to whether the meeting would hear this report, and the Chair (afr, Mooney) ruled that it should be heard, He then proceeded to give the result of the interview substantially as published in yesterday’s HenaLy. The report was received adversely, several objecting ‘to its reception and severely censuring Mr. Lewis for naking the visit, and cries of “Put him outl”? were beard all over the hall. This incident showed that the strikers were not willing that even their Chairman, whom they have respected in the past, should show any attempt to induce them to go to work, The Chairman, after order was restored, stated that it was his place to call and see the Goddard Brothers, as their Chairman, and it was left with the audience to accept or reject their pro- position, Many were present who did not dare say one word, It was their place td ight THE BATTLE OF LIPR, and he hoped every man and woman in the employ of the Lonsdale Company would discuss the matter fairly, whether they had better go to work at the reduction | and wait for better times or stay out. The audience evidently had lost confidence in their Chairman for calling to see the agents of the company, and so, after he had got through speaking, refused to take any notice o/ bis proposition. Mr. Mooney did not approve of the Chairman's ac- tion. He thought that if a third party were to wait upon the Goddard Brothers they would be more suc- cosaful and st would show that they were anxious to go to work, He would state what action he recommended after some action had been taken on what the Chairman had reported. P. Boland thought that the Chairman had acted altogether on his own responsibility, and that be had no right even unoliciaily to wait upon the agenis as he had done, (Applause.) Here a lady made & motion to reject the report from the company. The Chairman then stated that they had nothing to reject He went unofiicially, and he only went for the welfare ef the strikers, Hugh Mulholland said that the Chairman's authority was ended after tho close of the meeting, and | he had no right to go to the Goddard Brothers as their | representative. Patrick King hoped they would stand | together like one solid mass, and show their employers | that they presented no signs of weakness, | THE COMPANY'S FIGURES. | Here the Chairman called upon Mr. Hindle, who at the | | | meeting on Friday was alleged to be a spy and hired by the Lonsdale Company to come to the meeting and in- duce them to go to work; but before be reached the platiorm he was bissed, apd the audience evidently had | no desire to hear him, | Mr. Mooney said he hoped the policemen would eject all from the ball who were de- | tected in hissing, but the excitement continued for | some time, and while Mr. Hindle was presenting the following figures, to show that the company was not | making as much money as was supposed he | was frequently hissed. After order was re- | stored he said the number of looms in the | No, 4 mill was 1,117, and the average number of cuts | per month was 12—total, 134,041; and whem they were | paying 65 cents per cut for weaving the total amount for that department alone was $5,712 60, and when 60. | cents was paid the total would be $6,187 80—a net loss | of $2,010 60 per month, and tora year $26,187 80. If in one month, the total for a year would be 174,262. If the latter number be multi- lied by 45, the number of yards in a cut, the number NEW YORK HERALD, TUESDAY, JANU The Operatives Hiss the Proposition of Company. ‘We want our just dues, and that is all."? He would suggest that two disinterested gentlemen be ppointed to wait upon the Goddard Brothers officially, as he thought they would hear them. They were to ask them that, providing they went to work now would the reduction be returned in the spring. He didn’t think they would pay any attention to the opera- tives, and so recommended outsiders, Ramsden Fp in favor of Mooney’s 8 tion and thought a third would tend to arbitrate the matter as rec- ommended by the HeraLp. They would examine the state of the market and the company’s losses as well a8 their profits, . A committee was accordingly appointed and their re- port will be awaited with interest. THE DeSTITUTE. Mooney had heard it said that it was the Executive Committee were keeping them out. This was false, ag all present knew. He recommended all who believed them guilty of anything of the kind to remain and sce what work they bad to do in providing for needy. ke of one family of five children, they having neither clothes, food nor shoes, The chairman thought that tf the company were acquainted by insible persons of the needy cases in the villages, and of those who were not able to support themselves on the proposed reduction, they would think favorably of giving back the reduction, A RETURN TO WORK AGAIN NEGATIVED. To take the sense of the meeting in relation to going to work Mooney called for a vote, and a unanimous verdict against returning to work was rendered amid great excitement and waving of handkerchiefs Mooney wanted to know if the operatives were to be bound by the decision of the committee inted to wait on the Goddards, and he was answered very em- phatically in the ‘negative, they being de- termined to hold out until the reduction was ven back. A committee was appointed to solicit aid from the operatives at Berkely, the latter promisin $leach. Thechairman of the Relief Committee stat that they were sadly in need of funds, and that the ne- cessitous cases were daily growing more numerous, The meeting then adjourned until nine o'clock to-morrow morning, the chairman stating that some important announcements would be made, alter the meetin, | ei | of yards is found to be 7,831,340.

In case | of otyection by the owners of the land the engineer in charge may present a petition to the Supreme Court, in the name of the United States, for the appointment of Commissioners of Appraisal.’ The State reserves to itself the right of jurisdiction over all bridges and tunnels, now or hereafter, to be constructed over the Hariem River. Mr. Fish, ina bill introduced this evening, provides by penalty against unauthorized agents selling tickets for staterooms ou board steamboats and steamships. | Mr, Forster provides, in a bill, for the publication of the State official canvas in an Albany paper, to be des Tgnated the State paper. This will take away a trifle of fodder from the country papers, and a terrible struggle may be consequently expected. Mr. Gaivin introduced a bill making it a penalty of fine or imprisonment for any person having the custody of another’s property, over the value of $3, to convey the same to bis own use by selling or pawn- {ng it, and every pawnbroker who shall receive suc any soot knowing it to have been secreted, is to suffer y fine oF imprisonment, The people of the Western district of Brooklyn in a shockingly dirty condition, and Mr. Bradiey hur- ries to the trout with a bill to'provide them with two public baths, and give theta a chance to unmask.

The Judge must consequently issue an order for his im- | mediate discharge.

Pmiapetenia, Jan. 24, 1876, The iettor of the Hon, Jobn Jay to the Heratp, calling attention to the yreat inportance of availing ourselves of the educational advantages of the [nter- national Exbivition, and urging the calling of inter- national congresses to consider educational and scien- tide matters, has excited much interest here and stimulated curiosity to know what tho Centennial Commission bas done in this direction, The danger of regarding our Exhibition too much as @ buge county fair and losing sight of the intellectual benefits to be derivea from it, are foreibly stated by Mr. Jay, and as fully agreed in by ail having the higher interests of the Exhibition at eark The subject has soveral times been brought to the attention of the commission by various persons, thoagh never, perhaps, #0 definitely oF OD so comprebensive a scale as by Mr. Jay.

Now, you will scarcely need to be informed that the weaving shop contains more belp than ali the other departments inthe mill combined. He would say that the wages of each person were proportionately better in the weaving room, He bad made this rough calculation, and if he had erred it was on the safe side, He would place the card room, spinning room, mule room, machinists and carpenters together, and ‘say that as much again was | paid to all those combined as was pad in the weaving shop, which would give @ total reduction of wages in mill No. 4 of $75,413 40; that deducted from $559,350 50 | would leave a balance aguivst the company’s protits of $480,937 10.

The company when they gave notice of the reduction should have stated what amount the reduction was to be. He defended | himself against a statement which appeared in the Providence Jourwal. The great quesiiwn with them ) Was cot whether the mills in New Kngtand could | afford to pay the wages now offered, bat whether the Lonsdale Company had cloth on band depreciating in value, apd so could not afford to pay them what | they thought their labor to be worth. He wanted facts | and figures to convince him that the company were losing money and could not afford to pay the price paid betore the reduction. The owner of « horse would feed and clothe it ve it warm bed to sleep in for the purpose of getting ull the work he could out of it, and it was go with the mill owners. They desired their | Operatives to be well clothed and well fed for the pur- | - of getting all the work they could out of them. n fact, well fed and clothed, what can they expect? (“To starve,” was the re- ply of some one in the hail)’ The company had ‘Dot the best interest of their employds at heart, | had not reduced the rent of tenements nor the price of | meat, No; that would be out of their pockets He thought that slavery, was abolished, but be would i it bad been abolished im Lonsdale.

He was opposed to leavil the mill, but he believed in being with his brothers an | sisters in thetr battle for right, but be would inquire if | 1h was likely that they would get back the reduetipn, What will you do when your money is all gone? ‘THE LAST STAGM. “Starve |" was the reply from ail parts of the hall. You are poor and the Lonsdale company are worth their milhons, Surely they can stand it the longest, They will know when you bave reached the bottom deliar, and then they think you will goto work. They are trying to starve you ous Can they do so? (“Nol No!’’ was the jy (rom a score or more) Such being the case, then, they were strong. It was for them to say whether they would siay out.

Colonel Potter opened the proceedings for the defence by requesting permission to examine a few witnesses before proceeding with the question they had not finished when the Court adjourned on Saturday last, Dr. James McClintock sworn (examined by Mr. Brewster):—I have practised medicine for nearly fifty years; I am intimately acquainted with Mr. Landis; I knew his business to bea huge one, and feared that his physical frame was not sufficient for his berculean work; I knew his temperament to be greater than bis strength, and constantly feared that his mind would give way. John W. Grange sworn:—Am a merchant; have known Mr. Landis twelve years: I always thought him a remarkably energetic man; I remember an iaterview with him about two years ago; he called to learn something about the nancial standing of another mer- chant in Philadelphia; we talked about an hour; his manner and conversation gave me the impression that he was reg © I thought he was very much worried and his mind unsound; he wandered of the subject; be talked of the financial aud moral integrity of merchants; he said that the merchants of South righ 4 were financially and mor- | ally better than other merchants with whom he dealt; Idid not think he was unsound in that opinion; I thought he was unsound about everything we talked about; he would jump up and say, “I must go,” and then sit down and begin again; talked about making Vineland the equal of the city in ‘population; his man- ner and talk together made the impression on my mind that be was crazy, Dr. E. L. B. Walls sworn:—Am a physician; have known Lundis about ten years; 1 met him betweon thi period of his return from Europe and the day of shoot- ing; Imet him on the cars; be had a careworn and | negligent manner; I sawan alteration in bis manner | which impressed ne; my opinion is formed from ob serving his manners and not so much from his co: versation; my opinion is that the framework of his mind was giving way, and he was becoming lable to disease mentally, Cross-examined by Attorney General Vanatta:—He would pass me in the cars here without notice and then return to me and speak; this was not more than two or three weeks before the shooting; bis dress ‘Was not neat, but neglected; have seen men jaded and careworn im appearauce Who Were not insane, but his was a very pecullar appearance. Dr. Isaac Ray recalled, Colonel Potter proceeded with the reading of the hypothetical symptoms of in- sanity as already related by witnesses, and at the con- clasion said :— “In your opinion, Dr, Ray, was this defendant at the time he fired that shot sane or insane ?”” The Attorney General objected that this witness’ opinion was sought upon the basis of assumed symp- Judge Reed said there were some features of impro- priety in the question, but as it would take up a great dea! of time to extricate them, he would admit it; that ‘this was the geveral rule in this State, Witness replicd:—I believe the facts given in the hypothetica: case, taken together as a whole, indicate | ARY 25, 1876.-WITH SUPPLEMENT. afterward saw Landis and complained of this; he said it was all he could Lawl teed b-boy Rm ag ae to do more than he was able; the suiiicient to cover the expeuses of Carruth’s sickness; which the advised them not to accept, as the land would only give them taxes to pay; the reason why toi settle- ment was not made in Bridgeton was because Mr. House said it could not be made in New Jersey, that it was necessary to go out of the State; be mentioned no law that made it ; Carruth bad no busi- ness in New York when he went, except on account of this settlement; Mr. House saw him in the afternoon of July 80; saw him next morning; Mr. House was with him: he was more nervous and wild than he had been before; said he must and would return to Vineland and attend to his business; he returned to my house; the next Saturday I advised him not to go, as he was not fit to travel; on Monday ent as far as Utica and seemed to be getting worse and worse, com- plaining of pains in his head. Witness went on and related theincidents of their journey. When we arrived in Camden, N. J., Mr. Landis and Carruth met face to tace; Landis was sitting in the gen- tlemen’s room ; Carruth had been walking up and down and went into the room with his son to get water; he came out pate and es did not see them meet; ‘Mrs. Carruth said, “Why, what is the matter?’ Carrath replied. “T have seen that man;” we put him in thé cars and I returned to the room and saw Mr, Landis; told him the meeting had had a bad effect on Carruth, that he could rand, and we had to use remedies to revive dis said he had offered his hand to Carruth but that he had turned away without taking I told Landwl whey would never meet as it hada bad effect upon Carruth from that time; Carruth was never aa: worse nor any better until he commenced to fai day vy day; he reached home on tho 7th of August; it was more than seven weeks afterward before the settlement was in talked of; Mr. House Said that no papers would be signed before Carruth left the State; terms were offered which Carruth was willing to accept; the papers were to be prepared on the next Monday; we did not tell Carruth that he was expected to leave the State; the reason why the paper was not consummated was be- cause = Carruth felt great anxiet) for his family from the time he was shot antil died; he said:—‘‘I am only a wreck; the end is certain, It may be a week, or a month, or a year; but the end is death. My children will soon be fatherless and motherless. If the work had been thoroughly done on the 19th of March | could easily have forgiven Landa” Here the Court adjourned, him; when he met him in the LEO THE GREAT. Dr. John Lord delivered a most Interesting lecture yesterday morning to a crowded audience at Associa- tion Hallion ‘Leo the Great.” He said ‘With the man who forms the subject of this lecture are identified those principles which lay at the foundation of the Roman Catholic power for 1,500 years, He was both an able and a good man, and is regarded justly as one of the fatners of the Church. Inthe early part of the fifth century Papacy was already a great institution. The Roman bishop had the most important province of the Empire; he alone possessed all the attributes of supremacy. The Pontificate of Leo commenced in 404. It was a gloomy period for Rome. The old civilization had proved failure, and the world seemed on the pomt of dissolution. ’Leo was the man tor such a crisis; he stood alone and superior. He founded his claim’ to dominion on bis spiritual descent from St. Peter. A new era in Papacy commenced. He first called all the ablest men around him, and be taught in the pulpit himself. A HIGH TONED SEANCE. PEGS ANNIE EVA FAY'S SPIRITUAL MANIFESTATIONS. On Sunday evening Miss Annie Eva Fay, the cele: brated spiritual physical test medium, from the Queen’s drawing rooms, Hanover square, Loudon, gave a pri+ vate séance in her parlors, No, 19 West Twenty-fourth street. The price of admission was fixed at $2, and there were present about one hundred persons, among whom were a number of fashionable ladies, The me- dium was introduced by Mr. Fay. When she entered the room she was dressed in a pale olue silk robe, trimmed with lace. She is about twenty-two years of age, has a weaith of blonde hair, and deep blue eyes with a concentrated expression, and her manners indi- cate great self-possession. Miss Fay was seated near the door on a low camp stool, and a committee of two named, consisting of Dr. Stoddard, of No, 63 Irving place, and Mr. Obom, of No. 253 Duflleld street, Brooklyn. Strips of cotton cloth were provided and knots were tied on each wrist and sewed by the committee with red thread, Another strip of cotton cloth bound her two hands together be- hind her back, and this was tied to a ring fixed to an eye screw inserted In the jamb of the door. Another cloth around her neck was tied to a similar ring, and then commenced what might truly be called a marvel. lous séance, The light was turned down, a tambourine, three bells, a nag | @ guitar were jaid in ber lap; a screen drawn across. wher‘ was sitting, aod in. @ few seconds manifestauons commenced. The bells rang, the tambourine rattled, the guitar was scen to rise in the air wh: for the space of three minutes. When Miss Fay cailed “furn up the light” the screen was let fall She was insanity, and lead me to the conclusion that Mr. Landis | on the day of the homicide was insane; I do not think that my opinion 1 inconsistent with the fact that he transacted business, delivered public ad- dresses and manifested interest in personal affairs; — the opmion I have just expressed is a deduction of and experience in my dealings with the insane. Cross-examined by the Attorney General :—Insanity is adisorder of the mind, produced by physical disease of the brain; it has different degrees and different ex- tents, Attorney General—That is all, sir, Dr. Horace A Buttetph:—I live at the State Lunatic | Asylum, in Trenton, N. J.; have had experience with the insane for five years in Utica, N. Y.; have had charge of the New eight years; have heard the relation of the hypothet- ical facts in this case; assuming them to be trae, 1 be- lieve the defendant, at the time he fired that shot, to have been insane; my opinion is im accordance with my experience of the insane; it is not inconsistent with the fact that he trans- acted usiness and spoke in public; insan- Over one generation next; it does not always manifest itself the same in the successors; it often breaks out without notice; his family offen notice his | aeyonsvabie before his acquaintances do; @ person may insane and yet do business; I agree w.th Dr. Ray in his definition of insanity; there are cases of persons partially insane continuing the transaction of business as long ag they live Jobn E. Ogden sworn:—Am and have been employed Jersey State Asylum for twenty- | ome held by Landis; had an interview with him on the 19th of | siarch, 1875, about nine o'clock, in his parlor; he wanted his carriages, harness and fences put in repair, and his garden prepared for truck and stuff; wanted it done soon; I started away was recalled; I went in again and found him pacing the ‘floor with his hands folded; he Stepped up to me and told me the same thing over again; he wanted his lawn ploughed up; I went away and was called in again; he told me the same things over again; did not seem to remember that he had al- ready given such orders; I was called in the fourth time and he revoked the orders altogether; told me 1 must go to Mr. Burk for orders; 1 thought bis conduct very strange. APTER RECESS Colonel Potter arose and said:—‘‘If the Court please we rest on the part ol the defence.” Attorney General Vavatia then called Mra Mary Robinson, who was sworn and said:—I am a sister of Mr. Carrath; I lived with his family after he received the pistol shot; was with him most of the time, ex- been abd weeks, when sick myself; when I arrived in Vineland ke had not been removed from the com- taken ii! myself T my tume to caring for him; Dra. and Brown were attending him when I arrived; efforts were made to have these doctors discharged on the Sunday afternoon followr the shooting; a committee of three men asked to them dismissed and Dr. Groas allowed to take the patient. Testimony as to what this committee said or did was to by Chancellor Wilhamson, The Attorney General claimed that he wished to show that the com- mittes was acti ot defendant continually hectored him posse ssion of him for surgical treatment, Attorney General waived ex- ‘amination on this point until farther on. Witness continued :—When I arrived he could not see or recognize anybody by sight; it was three weeks be- fore we knew the eye was there; his right eye ‘s the one I mean; it never got well; he seemed beticr some than others; on Fridays and Saturdays of every woek he seemed worse and seemed faint; saw Dr. Gross on the 12th of June; something was said about Car- ruth’s taking a trip; Dr. Gross advised him to keep out of the sun and not get drunk, and to avoid ali excite- ment; Carruth said he was going to New York to meet Mr. Landis, What Carruth said was ruled out. Witness went on:—I saw Mr. Landis in Bridgeton we telked about the shooting; Landis expressed his regret at the tragedy; he vexged me to assure Carruth that be would do ail he could to lect went to New York; I Mr. House about what Carrath asa aga y ‘Was about the settlement j Mr. Landis wanted to know whether i¢ wou! for him to gee Carruth; | replied it woald not the matter of settioment was finished, and that show bis sorrow by doing thi take his hand until he showea Carrath did not belheve in his regret; I saw Mr. afterward and he told me what sum he rath; I told him that if] had known the amount | would not have permitted Dim, as it was adding insult to injury; it and | for Landis, and that from the time | had seen it three minutes before. One of the company then asked if they would allow a person to it behind the screen with Miss Fay, and she signified her willing- ness, provided the person should be blindfolded, Dr. Stoddard sat with her, and he was allowed to hold the medium. The hghts were turned down and the sane manifestations occurred as before. reported to the company his experience, He said he felt a very slight movementot her bovy and hands, which he | thought were the hands of the medium; “Dut,” said he, “her hands, I see now, aro tied the same as before Isatdown, I think they were the hands of the me- dium, but, ladies and gentlemen, it is inexplicable.” some invisible band was thumbing it | ‘still sitting in the seif same position in which she had | becn tied, and everything was as perfect as when they | Dr. Stoddard then | } Aiter several manilestations stil more astonishing than this, a dark séance was held, where all the lights were tarned out and eightecn ladies and gentlemen sat | in acircle with the medium in the centre, The per- sons in the circle were requested to hold each other’s hands, and in a few minutes guitars were swinging over their heads, bells were ringing, a dozen fans which in their bands were’ plucked to pieces by the spirit of Willy, a child of eight years, through whom Miss’ Fay suys eo” acts. Same of the company in the cir received. blows from the same spirit band, and one or two of the Jadies screamed outright Lights weré called for, and Miss pen J was seon sitting as before, in the cemtre of the circle, and the guitars, bel's and other instruments were lying promiscuously around the parlors, | The medium mentioned certain spirits that came to visitsome of the people in the circle, among them a pale, blue-eyed lady, who died three years ago, and the description was 80 accurate that one gentleman fairly blanched, MUNICIPAL NOTES.
