He was elected again, and Grove to the Mechanics’ Hall amidst the yells of thousands of disaffected epiriis, the most prominent bf whom was Patrick James Whalen, During the time McGee epoke from one of the win- Bows of the Mechanles' Hail three bullets passed in ose proximity to bis head, and bricks innumerable oured passed him into the room, Tt was noticed he Wns slightly intoxicated with wine a4 well as easuro, for on one cceasion he reeled backward ard he most intense excitement prevailed, thinking he ad been shot, Strange to say, so great was bis dis belief in the fact of his aesassination, that he passed long through the crowd that very Jay and drove un- fholestrd to bis home, Tr has been asserted that MeGee would never hare Deen resiccted for Montreal West but for the inter- ference of “landiordi*m."” Mr, McGee attended the Tocal Legislature of Quebec in the winter of 1858 for Wshori time, It was proved that Whalen, who had been canvassing sgainst him and expressing bis de termination to shoot him, followed him to Quebec, ‘Thomas D'Arcy McQce was a man of extraordi- ary intellect, and stood in the foremost rank of the ‘Young Ireland party, so-called, when that combina- tion of genius and patriotism broke loose from the trammols of O'Connell and openly proclaimed the @octrine of revolution, After the incipleut rebellion of “48, under the leadership of Smith O'Brien, had been crushed, Me- Gee made his way to Ameriea, for the second thme,and stab shed a newspaper in New York.

Owing tothe absence of the coroner from the city, the murdered man tonld not be removed for some hours, In the early awn of the morning {t was found that nis latch-key had been inserted in the door when the bullet took effect, the missile entering below his left ear, and car. rying away two of his teeth and the remains of a halfemoked cigar, Excitement was at the highest pitch in Ottawa, Rewards to the amount of $19,000 In gold were of fered by Parliament, municipal bodies, and private Andividuals, for the discovery of the unknown mur- derer, Some of the detective police of Montreal ar- rived during the day following the murder, and among them was one Cullen, who suspected that Whalen had been out of Montreal for no good pur- pore, and therefore kept an eye to his movements, ‘One of Cullen's first acts was to arrest Whalen, whom he found in his bedroom, with a recently discharged pistol in his possession, He was placed on trial be- fore Chief Justice Richards and Judge Armstrong, op Monday, Sept. 7, 1608, He was dressed in block cloth coat and pants, with a white vest, and bis feo Dore an openand pleasing expression, His wife oc- eupied a seat In front of him. The testimony against hin was merely circumstans tial, with the exception of that of Lacroix, whose ‘Veracity was qnestioned, Pau!

He soon after their separation heard the re- port of a revolver ehot, Louis L. Desjardin, also an employee tn the House, Bworo that he saw the prisoner, Whalen, there before McGice left, and that his excited appearance attracted huis attention, He went out, and when he returned ho saw a pistol with him, Adolphe Penard proved that he searched for and found the witness Lacroix, Jean Baptiste Lacroix proved that he saw the shooting, and identifed Whalen as the person who Gred the fatal shot, as he saw his face when he turn- 0d to cross the fence. An alleged conversation be- tween Whalen and another prisoner named Doyle, ~ —$—————————————————————————————— ‘while in jail, was putin evidence, in whieh it was stated that Whalen said to Doyle that one of the tnesses swore damned hard against him, but that would be safe if he only kept silent, ‘This was the principal testimony produced to in eulpate Whalen and fix upon him the guilt of mur- ‘The only direct evidence was that of Lacroix, who swore that McGee wore a black hat when he ‘was shot, whereas it was proved he liad on a white bat, ‘Martin O'Gara, Anto!ne Quesnel, and several other ‘Witnesses proved that they knew Lacroix; that bis general character was bad, and that they would not Delieve him on oath, Pertons in the store of Mr, Exg!eson, in whose employment Whalen was, proved that they never heard Whalen using, as was alleged, feny treats against the life of Mr, McGee, ‘The prosecution failed to establieh any Fenian conspiracy for the assassination of Mr, McGee, and ‘Whalen always declared his innocence of the borrk Yoble crime, and protested that he was a loyal subject lor &the Queen of England, in whose army he served, y Nina he would lay down his life in defence of hur Hinds throue. 4p tried, found guilty, and sentenced to arly part of December last, A writ was taken out by his counsel, on Ce lad been tampered with, and Tearp iw Fer veel god evidence tending to acquit have 5 Magee ing, Was the victim of some wake ; Denman ty {faudy was tieard on Bate r nat on KX sation which Is reported ad 7m him and the prisoner abt of bis guilt, It ruNathon, ole mite wetvelac js Ibe allog Diioad OF iavuey recently by put and only cared for his own wife, © woman who brought bim considerable fortune, and who remaived by him to the Inst.

Up to 9 o'clock A. M. there were about three hundred people on the east side of the jail; by 10:30 o'clock the crowd had tnereascd to seven thonsand of eight thousand; but all was quiet end orderly. At 10 o'ciock the prison physician reported Whalen in good nerve, and that no agitation or flurry was noticoable in him, A short time after, the Sheriff announced that everything was in readiness for the execution, At 11 o'clock Whalen was pinioned, and, sceom- Panied by the Sheriff and three priests, lod from tho Prison, looking very pale and excited; but he moved along with a firm step, and mounted the stairway of the seaffold, responding, as he walked, distinctly to the prayers of the prie After the Paternoster had been repeated he said, “Tbeg pardon for any offence I may have commit: ted; I forgive all parties who have injured me; f snk forgiveness from any one T may have Injured.

Mr. Attartmann, of New York, fol- lowed on the same side, Mr. Geo, Bliss, Attorney for the Excise Board, opposed any change in the present law. He read abundant testimony showing that dronkenness and other crimes had diminished more than one-half on Sunday une the operation of thelaw.

The facts, briefly related, are aa follows: Sarah, the young stepdaughter of George Boerd, of 7% Eighth avenue, visited the National Hall, Forty-fourth atrect, on Wednesday evening, with a number of frfenda, one of whom, Peter Bam berger, has been strongly attached to the young we man, The object of this visit was to attend a ball given bya German military company. It doce not appear that anything unpleasant occurred in the ball room, a8 the two seemed bent on pleasure and pleas fog each other, All the friends went from the pineo shortly after 4 o'clock yesterday morning, an@ took the cart down to 116 Seventh avenue, where Sorah resided with her cousins. When the young couple reached the house the other friends bade them good night, and they were left together to take the usual prolonged farewell of lovers, when about te teparato for (he night, Most of the party lived tm the house and were about retiring to rest, when they were startied by the report of a pistol followed by @ woman's scream, and then other reporta, One of the party, Mr. Prants, hed only partially am dressed, and enatehing a amp he hurried dowm stairs.

When taken in cum tody he expressed surprise at the account of the tragedy, and protested his entire ignorance of the aMfir, He was, however, taken to the Weat Twentieth street Police Station and locked up ta await the result of tho ate mortem examination, Which was act down to be held as soom as the sué ferers should recover their sent ‘The police took both the injured persons to Mount Sinat Hospital ia Twenty-clghth street, Was ascertained that the young wom were not mortal, the ball having merely cut the cheek, She was pronounced out of immediate dan- ker, but the physictans said that she required quiet to restore the poise of her mental and nervous sys tem, The young man’s coniition was, however, ditt ferent, as ho was then {na state of coma, resulting from two wounds In the head, one over the right eye and the other In the right temple, A third wound was found In the right thuinb, from which a builet was extracted, which was found to fit a revolver subscqnently pickod up in the hallway where the shooting was done, The wound over the right ey@ was a singular one—the ball having apparently on tered at avery acute angle with tho bone of the forelead, ond glancing upon it had made an exit only two inches from the place of entrance. ‘This ball, i is Velieved, caused the bloody indentation which was afterward discovered In the wall of the bal way.
