AN IMPERFECT INQUEST—NEW EVIDENCE. There is genoral publio dixsatisiaction in Newark over the manner in which Corover Vreeland investi- gated the ense of young Gomersall, who was shot on Sunday morning by Joseph Koerner, Lhe inquest ts declared to have been most imperfoct and incomplete, not producing evon as many facts as the newspaper reporters guthered. The Grand Jury, however, is now in session and will doubtless probe the case to the botiom, Yesterday Mr. Philip Arnold, residing at No, 140 Jackson street, nade a statement for the press, which, if true, throws an important light on Gomérsail’s whereabouts on Saturday night and dis- credits the belief that ho was asicep in Koerner'’s parlor, as generaliy believed. Arnold is a tailor, and, apparently a respectable and truthful man, His story is as foilows:—I was awak- ened about one o’clock Sunday morning by a noise in Mr. Smith’s apartments across tho hall; Mra Smith ts tu the country, aod Mr, Smith, I believe, is staying with some relatives, 80 their rooms are now vacant; t thought @ burgiar was im the house; taking my re- volver, I went to the back part of the ‘hall, and, shak ing the knob of the « leading into Mr. Smith's | room, called out, “Who ts there??? a man within talked back to me, but l could not understand his Bogish; then t into the back yard and found the window of Smith's room opou; tho man haa in there; 1 lookea into the window without ing any one, Then | went into tho street, and looked through ihe glass of tne window there, but again could see nobody. Coming back toto the yard 1 | saw a man stunding near that pump (a dozen feet from the open window), 4nd suid to him, “What are you doing here’? He said, ‘None of your business.” 1 took hold of him and showed him my revolver, Then I sent my wile away fora policeman, but before she got back the ian went out into the street nnd toward | Ferry street. Pulling on my pants | totiowed him, barcheaded amd without shoes or stockings, to him arrested. I went att him down street and acroxs lo:s to Ningara street, I met three men, one a German, and ask tien to help me to take tne ‘man to the police station.

Lgald to the man, “What 1s your name?’? and he answerred “Iam Gomersall,”” Ae sad furiher, “Come into Magazine street, und I will treat you, him. I went homo without drinking with No policeman saw the man, He was a young , Arnold apd her husband say positively it was one o'clock, oF ps five minutes past one, when the man was at their house, Mrs. Arnold told the reporter that she looked at the clock at the time.

NEW JERSEY REPUBLICANS, | William A. Newell Nominated for Governor. ATTACKS ON GENERAL M’CLELLAN.’ A Conciliatory Platform Adopted, Trustox, Sept. 25, 1877, The Republican Convention, which met here to-day to nominate a candidate for Governor, was ono of the most respectable aud intelligent bodies that ever as- sembled in this State, There were 562 delegates altogether. Their deliberations were conducted with the utmost decorum ond not at any time was there the least semblance of disorder. Tlie hour of assem- bling was ut noon. Long belore that time the various county dolegations held caucuses to select their choice for Govertor and deliberate on the platiorm to be adopted. From South Jorsey there was a docided opposition to the adoption of any plank affirming the Southern policy of the administration, From the cther parts of the Stute the friends of the President seemed to predominate, Ex-Secretary Robeson led the maicon- tents and several influential politiciaus-irom Newark marshalled the other side. Thero was rather an ani- mating cunvass kept up fora while, but at all times the best of humor prevailed, There were but a fow candidetes for the Governorship. “Honest” Jobn Hill retired early in the morning, and then the field was left to ex-Governur Newell, William Waiter Phelps and State Senator Poits, The first named maintained the lead from the start, He always could count on a ma- Jority of the delegates in his tavor, and he was around alithe time with tho delegates making iriends. A great many believed that it was an uphill fight to beat ittle Mac,” and some delegates were heard to offer wagers on bis getting 10,000 mujority—no matter who would be nominated against him. This had a de- Pressing offect, and thore was little enthusiasm. THR ORGANIZATION, Judge Charles H. Voorhees, of Bergen county, acted as temporary chairman, and Assemblyman Cooper, of Morris, Jono W. of Cumberland, and J, Her- bert Potts, of Hudson, were chosen temporary secre- turies, Judge Voorhees made a speech of about bait an hour's duration, mainly devoted to censure of the democratic party tor nom- matieg & man who was not identilied with the interests of the State, aud “who only smelt tho night arin it.” “It was uw family matter,” he said, the head of the family should be a memver ot the family, We do not want a man who would be compelled to give au affidavit us to locality.’ Ho re culled tho struggies 0: the inte war, und reminded the Convention that NEW JBKXKY IAD DISGKACKD HRRSELP by voting for McUleliav for President in proteronce to the great and good Abraham Liucoln, (Deateuing | cheers.) He questioned Mctlelian’s fitness for ihe whom the Convention would nominate against him, so ioug us he was true and loyal, the peoplo would elect nim the same as they olected Ward uad Olden, His speech was of a rather firebrand character, awakening war issues. Rev. Mr. Lucas then olfered prayer, trom which the following uro some extravts:—hat the noble, vir- tuous, manly, statesmaniike, doubly olected President would bave Virtue stand by him in wis course of con- ciliation; that God would punish soulless, Christies and greedy corporations; that there would be no con- and jabor, and muy the act.on of to-day’s Convention send 4 thrill of joy throughout the State and aad, and thut the caudidaie may lead tho people on to victory.”” ‘The urual comimitices were appointed and a recess was taken, Attwo o'clock the Conveation reaesein- uppointea perma- State Executive hy the ‘Convention tor w irst Co! sional Disrict— Vy.
