Some of the evening newspapers publish from day to day statements of the terms on which the “Boss’’ ig to bo set free, the cause of the delay in the Degotiations, and even the precise date of his liber tion, One of the counsel concerned in the case re- marked garcasticully yesterday that no thought of Withdrawing and leaving the conduct of the suit in the bands of the geutiomen who are so much better informed in regard to the matter.

Archbishops and Detective Dorsey brought to the Tombs Police Court yesterday Mrs. Kato Cartgr, a good looking young wo- man, whom he charged with bury!ary on the premises of Mrs. Mary Gibbons, on Varick street. From tho evidence it appeared that the prisonbr had some con- versation with Mrs. Gibbons on Friaay afternoon atthe Jatter’s residence. Soon afterward Mrs, Gibbons left the house, locking op her apartments. On returning she found thut they had been fetoniously entered and property, consisting of shawls, breastpins, a parrot, aud Ininor articles to the value of about $150 bad been stolen, Detective Dorsey was put upon the case, and Jearned from a taxidermist on Canal ‘street that Mrs. Carter bad exchanged with bun a parrot with the tail gone fora canary bird and cage. Upon this intorma- Von the officer went to Mrs. Carter's residence, aud found nearly all the goods which had been stolen, to- caagd with the parrot’s tail, which bad evidently con pulled out in efforts to catch the bird. The goods and tue parrot were identified by Mrs. Gibbons as her property. On being placed at the bar the prisoner wept copi- ously, and stated between ber sobs that she had pur- shaged the property from two strange men who catied at her bouse. Justice Kilbreto regarded her stave- ment as unworthy of credence and held ber in $1,000 bail to answe ROW OVER JERSEY JUDGES. The deadlock between Governor Bedie and the New Jersey Senate over the appuintment of justices of the new district courts bas caused considerabie excitement in Jersey City. Tue Governor persisted in nominating one republican out of the iwo judges, but the Senate as persistently refused to confirm, Jersey City bas been for years under a republican administration, though baving a large democratic majority, owing to | the manner in which the election districts were mapped out by a republican Legisiature. This was the first opportunity afforded the Governor to give the demo- Crais some share in public offices, and tbe democratic majority io the Senate sent a committee to mom Lim that they would not confirm any republican nominee, ‘Dut still the Governor nominated one repabtican Judge im Newark and one in Jersey City. The Senate confirmed the ‘wark republican, The Governor re- fased to meet the Senate half way and adhered to bis determinatinn. The result was an abrapt termination Of the extra session of the Seuate. The feeling toward | the Governor in Jersey City 1s the reverse of frienuly.

His age might bave been filty for all that ap- pearances iudieated, but he elaimed to be only thirty- one, Bridget modestly told her story, crying through- out as if her heart would break :—Her mother was a poor washerwoman. Ya Samio was reputed to be rich, He wanted her to marry him, and her mother en- couraged bis attentions, but she detested the very sight of bim. Pending his persistent atientions ber mother did wasning for bim, and he gave ber the clock and stove in paymont of a billof $23, “Ob! Judge,” sobbed Bridget, “ue 1s doing this only to dis- gtace me by bringing me into Court.” Judge Kilbroth coincided with tue young woman, and turning toward Ya Samio, administered to bim a severe lecture. Tbe Chinaman took tne lecture tn the best of spiri(s appearing not the least offended, notwithstanding its severity, His mildness under the castigation was, however, subsequently Jearned to be owing to the iact that he had not understood a single word of what tho mayistrate had been saying.

Swain, a member of the Council of Nine, has made confession of the manner in which the affairs of the council were conducted, which agrees with previously published statements ot the deliberate plans which were laid involving the destruc- tion of property and the taking of life, both white and Chinese, Among those whom it seems were proposed to the counsel ag fit subjects of their murderous de- signs was Hon. John Bidwell, candidate for Governor on the independent ticket during the last campaign, who was inimical to the Order on account of employing Chinamen on his rancho in the vicinity of Chico. The council appears to bave been com- posed of three captains, each of whom appointed two heutenants, Bach captain bad a certain district assigned him in which to operate, The manner in which the members of this secret organization laid their plans for burning and blowing up buildings in Chinatown and manufacturing establishments in which Chinese wero employed, and discussed the pro- priety and expediency of makiwog way with parties who had Incurred their enmity, 18 almost incredible, Allthe prisoners have been removed to the jail tn Oroville, the county seat, and every precuution taken to render their escape or rescue impossible. guards are stationed within and without the jail, and the approaches to the town aro protected by force. The excite t over the disclosures of the mined action of the au sorities and citizens will not be sufficient to deter other members of tho labor union from seoking to avenge tho arrest of their companions. THE TIVERTON HOMICIDE, [BY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD, ] Newrort, R, I., March 31, 1877. Manchester returned to bis home at Tiverton to-day, as he believed ho could show that he bad acted In self- defence in killing his friend, Philip Durfee. The Cor- oner’s jury brought in a verdict that the deceased came to his death by a wound Inflicted by Manchester, who acted in self-defence, He makes the following states ment of the homicide:—‘Yesterday afternoon W, H, Howland asked m when I was in store it I would kill some hogs for him? I told him I would. I had three knives in my hand— one sticking and two dressing knives, I went overhead to sharpen my knives, and when I came down | passed along by Philip Durfee, After I got past him he bolted atter me and bit me. I told him to keep away, and asked him what I had dono to tim. 1 think he calculated to hit me in tne face, but bis blow caught me on the shoulder. He was bolting at me again and 1 swung the kuife round, and he was right upon me, and the knife wont into his sido,”? ‘Manchostor illustrated the movement by swinging his arm around, thinking, as he said, to seare Duriee. “He got a stick of wood and hit me on thearm. [ had drank three times.”” PERISHED IN THE FLAMES FOUR CHILDREN AND THEIR MOTHER DI£ IN THEIR BURNING HOME—NARROW ESCAPE OF OTHER OCCUPANTS—SUPPOSED WORK OF IN- CENDIARIES, Povauxrxrsi, March 31, 1877, ‘A largo frame house, occupied by Peter Burns? family, at Rhinecliff, was destroyed by fire early this morning.

The love of Trenck for the ster of Frederick the Great of Prussia is tho sig of the pluy, and the history of thi celebrated court intrigue is quite closely followed. It i a capital theme for a dramatist, and it 18 only to be regretted that the natural development of the plotia interrupted by the prominence given to the part of a funny servant. toa song which Miss Sydney Cowell did “not sing well, and a dance which was brilliantly danced by Miles. De Rosa and Mauri, The Title !mpatient of these mter- story is really interesting and does not need the assis of music or the ballet. Tho play ends rather abruptly with thi death of Keruer, Trenck’s enemy, and does not pur- sue the latter into tue prisong in which he was so long confined as a punishment for bis presumptuous love for the royal princess, But the episode in the singular life of Trenck is powerfully expressed in the play. \ | “Tho Princess Royal’? was admirably acted, and Mr. Cognian was, a8 usual, natural and strong. He a3- sumed two rdles—that of Trenck, the Prussian sol- for she dier, and Trenck, the Austrian—and delineated the differences and ti resemblances of the opposed cousins with true artistic skill. Mr, isher gave a powerful _ picture of the King, and Mr. J, B. Studiey. was excellent as Kerner. | Mr. Lewis was funny as Spyke, but the Part contains too much modern humor to be in hai mony with the rest of the drama. Miss Fanny Duven- port performed the réle of the Princess with feclin; and Shias Georgie Drew, Miss Carrie Vinton, Miss Sydney Cowell and the rest of the ladies were admira- ble, .

This week it will be supported by airosh array of variety per- formances, + Heller’s new entertainment is very amusing. The mysteries of the box puzzle the keenest observa- tion, and the production of a little girl ot eight years of age from a gentleman’s hat Is one of these things “which no fellow can find out.” Miss Anna Dickinson wij make her first appearance in this city as an actress at the gle Theatre to-mor- row night.

On to-morrow evening the long promised perform- ance of the “Walkiire’’ by Freyer’s Wagner Opera Company takes place at the Academy of Music, and, judging by the popularity achieved by this com- pany fn the “Flying Dutchman” and “Lobengrin,” there will be a crowded and briiliant audience at the Acadomy on this vveasion, The ree hearsals for the Walkire’’ wore continued by the company ia Boston and both Mr Freyer and Mr. Neaevdoril are now confident that their artists Paris or Londom bas had an opportunity hewu it, is # musical event of which our elty tap oot be proud. ‘ i Since Matilda Heron's déath a now intorost Is felt in ‘ the part of Camille, which stie made her own, and 5 which so many actresses have since essayed without rouching the height to which she attained.

Miss Root’s concerts, we are informed, have uetted a good sum for the destitute poor, and the proceeds are distributed by the different charitable societies taking an interest in them; but Miss Koot assumes all the risk of the expenses herself and the whole manage- ment, and thus far the assistance she bas received toward payment of expenses from sale of tickets by the aifferent societies hag not, it js stated, amounted to one-third of the expenses, though the poor have been benefited to the amount of several hundred dole lars.
