The following is Colonel Cavanagh's letter, sooepUng tho Republican nomination for Senator in the Third District Bbookltn, October 21, 1875.

Captain Rowan and Gentlemen You have my warmest thanks for the kind words in which you have tendered rue the nomination for Senator of the Third District. Itwas after the adjournment of your Convention, last week, without making a nomination, that several old and tried friends ot mine solicited me to become a candidate for tho position named. After much thought, and having carefuliy considered the responsibility of the office, I consented, and I now accept the nomination you so generously offer. I am now sb in tho past a Democrat, believing that the people are the source of all power. I believe rather in the recognition of that which is honest and patriotic than in a blind obedience to tho mandates of any man or party.

I cheerfully accept the nomination, and will do all in my power to win. I have the honor to bo very faithfully yours, Jambs Oavanagh, SANITARY.

Who Is Responsible for His eappointment Cbiniriisslc'ner Norris Anxious to Jfte Relieved. To the Bditor lheBtA U'ljrn Eagle: Your article on ft a re employment of one of the nurses who had bt en a subject of investigation in the recent troubles in 4 ie Asylum doos me great injustice. I had no knowledge whaii that the nurse referred to had been employed aoixi until I saw it in the newspapers. I was not present at the meeting of our Board last Wednesday, or this shl uld have then boen explained. 1 bad not been cona ulted in tbe matter at all.

and whatever responsibility att aches to the affair should not fall upon me. The Aaylta Committee doubtless had good reasons for their actiay In this matter, which they will bo able to explain, no doubt, to the satisfaction of tho public. Yery rrwp sotf ully, Thom as P. Nobbis, President Board of Commissi loners of Charities. Bboobxto, Ootober 22, 1875.

The tone of Dr. Norris' letter stu ws that whether ho was a party or not to the reappota tment of the discharged nurse ho looks with favor upon the act. He eays "the Asylum Committee doubts bad good reasons for hteir action." The Eioun Is ot opinion that tho reappointment of a nurse discharge after a formal investigation, for brutally treating a atient, is an insult to the humane intelligence of Kings County, and a disgrace to everybody ooncerned in bra, ging it about. As to tho question whether Dr. Norrta was aotually consulted before the reappointment wa.

made, aud whether he consented thereto we have Ca 'mmissloner Eater's statement that Midas and Norris 'ged tho ro appointment, and that he, Raber, merely (acquiesced. The Eagle, therefore, has done Dr. Norris m1 injustice, We see the nurse again in a position to kick a ud pound the Insane, wo have Commissioner Raber's rd for it that he was put there by tho aottvo influence oi Norris and Midas, and we have tho lottor, to which ft bis Is a footnote, doolaring, in Dr. NorriB' handwriting, that "the Asylum Committee doubtless had good reasoi is for their action." Ed. Since the above waa written we have received tho.

fol lovrtng characteristic additions, which are cvidoutly intended to befog fools: Commissioner nilila Shoulders tluo Blame. TEEABUItEIt'B OFFICE, COMMISSIONERS CnARITIES, AR1TIES, 1 22, 1875.J no. of wiuouguoy, street, Bbooklyk, October 22, To the Editor of the Brooklyn Eagle: Your remarks in yesterday's Eagw. iu reference to tbe re engagement of Frank Lolscllo, ouo of tho discharged Asylum nurses, doss great injustice to Dr. Norris, the President of the Board of Commissioners of Charities.

He had nothing whatever to do with tbe appointment of Loiselle, and was not aware of tho fact. If there is any reason for complaint it should rest upon mc, as 1 reiiuestod Dr. Blancliard to reappoint Loiselle, and 1 did so as an act of Justice. Permit me to ask of you the publication of tho enclosed letter to Dr. Blanohard from Mr.

Magcc's counsol, In justification of my action taken in tho matter, Bespoetfully, yours, B. Midas. Xbe Lawyer's Lottor. Jas, A. Blanehard, if.

Superintendent Lunatic Asylum, Flatbush, L. I. Deab Sib. I would say that as the Counsel for Mr. Magee, in whoBe behalf tbe recent Investigation was had as to aouseB by keepeis on him, while a patient in your Institution, I learned of nothing during the searching investigation had, that should compromise the keeper ot Hall 7, Frank Loiselle, and I oasualiy learned with surprise, that he had been discharged from the institution, along with the keepers of Ward No.

8, whom I do believe wore guilty of the charges made, and whose discharge I approve. Now, believing from Mr. Loisolle's appoarance, that ho is a good man for the trying position ef keeper; and that it is a publio benefit to have good men in tbat position, I would respectfully ask you on behalf of Lol aeue, that be be reappointed to the position of keeper in your Institution. To be Just requires nothing unjust. ery respectfully, D.

J. Newland. From all of the above, it simply appears that the Commissioners have done a scandalous thing, and that they are now anxious to have the publio accept tho letter of a smaU attorney, whose opinion doos not appear to be entitled to any special weight, as a justification of their action. The Commissioners knew what the evidence waa when they removed Loiselle. The lawyer counts for nothing now.

Ed.) THE EXCISE LAW. Bow the Temperance Brotberbood Keep Saloons Closed on tbe Sabbath. The work of keeping liquor saloons closed on the Sabbath, in accordance with the provisions of the Excise law, is in a fair way of being accomplished, through the conciliatory course adopted by Hon. E. B.

Hale, President, and the most prominent members of the Temperance Brotherhood. They have determined to show that fanatical motives do not Influence them, and therefore any liquor dealer found violating the aw, and voluntarily admitting tho fact, Is not proceeded against, providing that he Is willing to give a written pledge that tbe offense aball not be repeated. It then becomes the duty of Mr. Olivor Cotter, tho agent of the Brotherhood, to visit suoh places on Sunday and find out whether the proprietors are acting in good faith. The above plan has been found to succeed remarkably well, more especially among tbe lager beer dealers of the Eastern District, and it is believed that it will prove equally effective in other se tions of the city.

TniBTT SECOSD BEQI9BNT. Last evening the Thirty second Eegiment waa lnspocted at the Armory in Bushwlck avenue, by Major Theodore Linnington, and mads a very lair showing. A feature of the occasion wae the presentation of a medal to Private Leutner, of Company by Colonel Boehr, in consideration of the fact that this member of his command had not missed a drill or parade, during the past year.

J. H. Tincont Importance or the Secular Educational Element in the Sunday School. The fourth sermon of the normal class of the Brooklyn Sunday School Union took place last evening at the Hanson plaoo M. E.

Uhurob, under the conductorshlp of Bev. Dr. J. B. Vincent, or New York.

The sermon began at half past seven o'clock, and at that time at least two thousand people, embracing the superintendents and teachers of the various denominational Sunday Schools bolonglng to tho Sunday School Union wore present In the auditorium of tho church. After tho usual devotional service of praise and prayer, wherein the organ and cornet bore a prominent part, Dr. Vincent openod tho business of tho session, taking for his theme "The Educational Element in tbe Sunday Sohool." The lecturer began by saying that tbe Holy Spirit sf God, in His work for and in man, respects tbe ln leetuel sad moral constitution of man. At AN ILLUSTRATION of it, the light of tbe buu adaplB Itself to the construes Hon of the eye. The most perfeelly organized oyo and tbe moBt careful obodience to the laws of Its health and of its use will secure the largest and most aatisrao tory effects of tho light.

A man may glorify tho aun as the source of light and of vision, but if he nogloct all the lawB of tho body which pertain to vision, tho light of the sun will bo of comparative llttlo advantage to him. Tho Holy Spirit of Qod entorod tho soul of man through the truth. He prepared the book of truth. He preparoa the tcacbors of the truth. Ho pro paros tho students of tho truth.

But in teaching truth Ho respects tho Intellectual laws rogulatlng tho acquisition and appropriation of the truth. The truo educational method will bo more llkoly, other tbingB bciuir equal, to produce tho largest spiritual results than too most intense leal wituout this conformity to a correct method. Tho question has beou aRknd How almut tho success of illiterate men in preaching aud In teaching the Gospel 7 Many of tbciu know nothing about normal methods and yet are eniiuently useful. Thny often Burpaes in real tesohing powor men of the moat thorough knowlodge in regard to tho teaching muth odB. Tho answer was that such men often follow tho most thorough methodis, although tboy know nothing of tho laws Involved.

There is a sort or instinct or love which makes teachers. Common Benso or knowledge of human naturo and a heart full of lovo will dovelop teaching powor, wbioh would, however, in ovory caso, be increased by a larger acquaintauee with the prluoi ples and methods of teaching. By THE EDUCATIONAL ELEMENT in the Sunday School waa meant that system of organisation, management and instruction which has boon approved by the wisost and moBt oiperioncod seoular teachers who seek to promote the truo oulture of their pupils. It differed, however, from tho satno in the secular schools In the unfroquoncy or recitations in the lack of authority, in the pro oniinenco given to the moral and spiritual aims, and in the recognized dependence upon BUpernatural aid. Tho work is not that of developing nature, but of promoting the gracious element in the soul and of oducating the natural powers under the presence and influence of Divine grace.

Tbe advantages tbat tho element possessod in the Sunday School wero that it associated Itself with tho moral and spiritual elements, and thus tended to a symmetrical culture, the good, tho true and tho beautiful. It oommunicatod knowledgo, im pressed tho conscience, won the aflootions, subduod and controlled tho wlU, moulded tho cbaraoter. and improved the life. It ompliaslzcd tho moral and spiritual as being of vastly greater importance and a being preliminary to all othor culturo. It furnished the subiimcst thomes which tho huiiMii mind could mu uumcst mspirations which can possess a soul and tho choicest associations in the pursuit of knowledge.

'Hie Sunday Hchool scholar camo in contaot with refined and cultivated pooplo. The elo mr nt in the Sunday School comprised a longer period of life and study than tbe best secular school; On. ueod never be graduated from its ASSOCIATION!) AND ADVANTAGES. Such features in the educational systom of the secular school as orgsuizallon, administration, Instruction examination and report, tho Bchool currimlum, th'o school gradation and tho ocbool spirit ruli'ht be adopted and appropriated by tno Sunday School, mortified of coiirHc by the peculiar ends, alms and Inspirations which belong to (ho Sunday Kcliuol. Among tile proposed Bchomes was tho scheme or gradation, not to bo too rigidly applied on account of B(o nor attainments Tbe whole Sunday School Bbould be dividod into six grades as IoUowb: First Tue primary or infant madu up of the non reading pupils, usually averaging torn flvo to oight years of ago.

To this latter division of the Normal Department tho regular teachers or tbo school should belong, at leaBt until they have comploted tho course of study required. Sixth Tlio Sixth or Pormanont Grade will embrace all who havo passed tho preceding grodes, or who, on account of good scholarship, shall be oloctod bv the nroimr offlonni or board of the school. This grade is deaiguod to hold us nieuiuors ior 1110. it is to bo tho very highest department of the school, and may from timo to timo add to its list of members distinguished names who may thus contribute to tho eialiatlon of the Sunday School (to (nnrng.nJ uu ju.iuuuiu.

Mr. Lyon summed up for the People, and Mr. Kintzing for the prisoner, and the jury retired at 1 P. M. While the jury were out the prisoner, who was in the Confederate army, and does nothing particular for a living, sat conversing with one of the sisters, and smiling.

The defence was that the prisoner did not cause his mother's death by kicking, but that she was frequently drunk, fell over the stove and down off the tftoop, and in that way got injuries which proved fatal. The evidence disclosed a painful state of degradation and dmnkennesB. At 2 P. the Jury camo back with a verdict of manslaughter in the second degree.

The Brooklyn Baptist Sooial Union held their first monthly meeting of the season last evening In the rooms of tho Pierrepont street Church. Among those present were Bov. J.

W. SarlSB, Rev. W. T. Dixon, Dr.

J. B. Simmis, A. B. CapweU, Dr.

J. B. Thomas, Dr. Catting, Dr. Edward Ives and others.

The meeting was opened by a prayer from the Bov J. W. Barles. Mr. M.

H. Dorman occupied the ohair. Ths minutes of tho last meeting.hold on June tho 17th, were read by the Secretary, E. Wheeter, and on motion they were adopted. The President wanted to know if there waa any unfinished business on hand.

The Secretary said that he had 735 copies on hand of the proceeding of the Convention of Social Unions, and also of the Educational Convention of some three or four years ago. He then moved that 250" copies be given to the Educational Committee, and the remainder be distributed among tho Baptist churches' of this city. Tho motion waa adopted. Dr. Cutting said, "It has ocourred to ma thatit might be interesting if.

at our annual meetings, we COUld meot a reDrQMntatlvo from AflMi nf tha nevrt. uated olassos frura our theological semineries, and I ask of the brethren that they put that in form of a motion. It would also of great interest to hear and see from these young men." Secretary What would be expected of the young: men when they came hero Dr. Cutting I intended to aay that when they came' hero they Bhould address the meeting that our annual address should come from them. Theodore M.

Bants I think it is a good idea, but to have half a dozen addresses In one evening would bo too much. Dr. Cutting If a committeo had been formed, I intended to make suggestions with reference to the details of the meeting; to havo an afternoon session and an evening session. I think that all those who attended onr meetings last yearfelt that great good was accomplished'. We of course, have so many discussions in Bimply an evening if my motion had been adopted I would have gone further and added to tho Invitation, that a single delegate from each of the Social UnionB of the oountry be procured.

Dr. Richards I move that the matter with reference to inviting young men from our Theological seminaries to attend our annual meeting be referred to the Executive Board. Adopted. THE BAPTIST HOME. The President said: Gentlemon, this, the first meeting of the BeaBon, flndB ua in the midst of remarkable activity in all departments of Christian work.

I fairly believe that the coming of Moody and Banker Is the result rather than the cause of a deeper Christian experience on the part of the people of God. It is the result of a development already oommenced in tho spiritual as well as in the more mechanical part of Christian labors. Since our last meeting the Taber naole Church edifloe has been completed with a poree verance, an earnestness and a zeal which is a notewor tny cnaptor in tne history of our churches on this Island. The subject for consideration to night is the Baptist Home, which is situated on the oorner of Greeno and Throop and the best method of bringing its Interests and sympathies before thenubllo. Christopher Rhodes, of the Eastern District, who was to have addressed you on this subject this evening 1b unhappily detained with business of importance at his own church, and will, therefore, not be here.

But I will ask our Brother Capwell who has, at least, some interest in tho matter. MB. A. B. OiPWELL.

Mr. Capwell then Bald: I fear I have notbin new upon thiB subject. I have said over and over again all mat 1 intend to say upon tms euojoct in una social. Talking on tbe matter ceased with me a year or two ago, when talking accomplished little or nothing. I have been compelled to make some atatements on this BUbject.

ThoBe statements are familiar to au here. Therefore I think I must be excused from making any speech or remarks upon the subject of the Baptist Homo. It la nn institution speaking for itself at the corner of Greene and Throop avenues. Those who choose can look at It for themselves, and can visit those who have been received already uuder its sheltering arms, and they oan judge for themselves whother it is or 1b not a Christian Institution, and one calculated In its very character to do good. I know a single visit and a half bourie conversation with those who have been reoeived will do a great deal more to convert the unbeliever on this BUbject than one hour's talk by mo.

The main features of this work can be given in two or three sentences. We have subscriptions toward tho bulldiug which amount to about $40,000 uncollected. We havo a mortgage upon the building of $20,000. Wo havo a floating indebtedness of about $10,000, leaving in tbe vioinity of $7,000 or $3,000 margin, though subscriptions are aU collectable. The present building would accommodate betweeu fifty and sixty.

It was nover the intention of its founders to confine its advantages to any one class, nor to any age, sex or condition. The Baptist Association are entitled to Its benefits. We have indeed means enough to day to meet our current expenses, aside from the floating debt of tho building. It is difficult to make calculations, although we nave subscriptions from members of our churcbeB. We will recoive, I have no doubt, funds for the building of at least $75,000, so that by the time the present 'rooms are full wo will have money enough on hand, without getting in debt, to complete the original plan of our building to accommodate from 100 to 150.

When completed it will be one of the finest publio buildings of the kind in tbe oountry, surpassing those in New York and Philadelphia. I have done my annual share of talking on this subject, but it has not accomplished all I wiBhed it to. Tho Sooretary I would like to say one word to Mr. Capwell. What is the Home intended for 7 There is a groat deal of MISAPPREHENSION exlsta among tho Baptists in the various churcheB of Brooklyn.

They do not seem to understand upon what conditions, obligations are to bo made. Tbey do not seem to understand what class of poor is to be admitted within the halls of the Home. They do not seem to understand at all the principle in which the Home proposes to take care of its own people. Mr. Capwell It is not intended for the lazy, for tho inefficient, for those who can, but will not work, for those who have famibar friends or relatives to take care of of those who by slight aelstance may bo enabled to keep together their families during the year, or perhaps by a little assistance in the Winter.

It was designed and is intended, as its charter aays, for the inarmed, needy, and dependent members of tbe churches, suoh members of it as are of neoes Blty dependent upon tho bevolence of the church for their support. Almost all the churohes have had one or two, possibly more who have no means of support, who are unable to support themselves by work, who are without children to assist them, who have no relative friends living with them. It is not the purpose of the Home to relieve tbe churohes from the care of the poor. It is only for those that are so dependent as to need the entire care of their living in every particular. Messrs.

Litchfield, Jeffrey, Thomas and Ires made short speeches on the Bame subjcot, aU believing that It would by and by turn out to be one of tbe finest institutlonB of its kind in the country and that it ought to be eustained by tho cordial sympathy ot every man of the Baptist denomination. The meeting thon adjourned. HEBREW BENEVOLENT SOCIETY. Brilliant Spectacle in tbe Academy Assembly Rooms Last Evening.

He is to be Hanged at Hempstead on Thursday, November 11. Yesterday, at Hempstead Plains, before Justice Pratt and Judge Armstrong, in the Court of uyer ana Terminer, William Delaney wag convicted of murder in the first degree, and sentenced to be hanged on novemner 11, between the hours of 10 A.

at. ana a P. M. The case is one which has awakened much interest on Long Island and in Brooklyn, where the murdered man, Captain Lawrence, was Well known. Now that the trial is closed, a statement of ths case and a resume of tbe evidence is proper.

On the evening of August 27, Oaptain Lawrence, of the schooner William E. Potts, of Port Jefferson, put into Cow Bay Harbor, to await freah winds to proceed to Stonington, Conn. He had left Port Johnston, New Jersey, on the morning previous. On Wednesday, the 24th, he shipped Delaney as mate. After anchor had been cast in Cow Bay, Captain Lawrence, a man over sixty years of age, went into the cabin to reat himself and await the preparation of supper.

He was ill, and had been for some days, and this fact made it necessary for him to hire Delaney. Delaney followed him to tbe cabin, knocked him down by a blow from a cleaver, and put a gag Into his mouth. He then robbed him of $65 and a pistol, and by threats made two boya who were on board run him ashore. He took possession of a boat there, and rowed across to Westchester. He made his way to Philadelphia and engaged to ship for South America the next day, but that evening; got drnnk and was arrested.

District Attorney Downing having sent a description of Delaney to sh the police departments in the aereral States, received a telegram from the Chief of Police that a man answering the description had been arms tod. Detective Smith, and one of tbe boys who witnessed the murder, west to Philadelphia, and Delaney was fully identified. He was brought without requisition to the Queens Oounty Jail, having been in dioted a week after the murder and while yet at large. These are the facts briefly sketched, and they were placed in dear light by the testimony given on the stand. District Attorney Downing opened the case for the people.

He presented the additional fact that Delaney had tied the Captain's hands and feet, lashing the rope around his body and tying it to the knob of the door. He likewise choked the Oaptain and put hiB ear to his heart to see if he was dead. Then he went and look a drink of whisky and went baok afld ohoked the Captain again. He admitted to the officers that he perpetrated the crime. THE TESTIMONY.

Charles F.Harrls, was the first witness sworn He lives at Port Jefferson, and is Blxteen years of age he was employed on Captain Lawrence's boat one month and two days. His mother had an interest in the vessel she waa loaded at Port Johnston, with coal for Stonington he saw Delaney at Port Johnston, and Captain Lawrence shipped him from another vossel they were towed to Rlker'a Island and proceeded under tow to Cow Bay Delaney was on board there were some Hunooners lying in uow nay waen tney aroppea anchor; on Thursday afternoon Delaney waa whittling ont a stick; toward evening they jumped out; and when Captain Lawrence told Delaney he need not be measuring the depth of the water, he told the Captain to go to Delaney went into the hold, and came up and told the Oaptain to go down to tea; he followed tho Captain down, and the witness and another boy rent aft: they heard a little noise, walked forward and looked in through the cabin window; Delaney had the Captain on the floor, putting the gag in his month with one hand and choking him with the other; when tbey went down to the cabin door. Delaney pulled a pistol from his pocket and said, "Get out of here, you of they went above and in a few minutes he came up and compelled them to get into a boat and row him ashore; he washed blood off his hands, and said, "Can't you pull any faster than that, you dovils?" when he got on shore he took another boat and rowod across the Sound; they summoned assistance from other schoouerB and returned to the vessel; Warren Burr went into tho cabin, and when he came out he said, "He's dead;" the witness did not go Into the cabin to see the Captain's dead body. The witness demonstrated how Delaney gagged and choked the Captain by having a man to lis on the floor in front of the jury. WHAT THE PBISOOTB SAID TO AN OFPIOEE.

John H. Wright Is a deputy sheriff of Queens County. He had a conversation with Delaney in the Jamaica Town Hall. Delaney told him that Capt. Lawrence gave him bad treatment; be said they were at the supper table, and Lawrence was finding fault about the rattling.

Delaney said he found fault about the food, and Lawrence told him if he did not like it he could leave, and then he bit him in the throat, and knocked him over and ohoked him until he could not Then he put his ear to his heart and it was not beating a particle. After choking him he gagged him, robbed him, tied the doors, went above and ordered the boys to take him aBhorc. One of the boys told him if ho was a little bigger, he (Delaney) would not get away so easily. REMOVING THE IMPLEMNETS OP DEATH. Warren Bird was in Bow Cay harbor on tbe evening of the murder.

He went aboard tho schooner J. E. Potts at the request of the two boys. He found the doors of the staterooms tied with a rope. Cutting the rope he found the Captain in one room.

He felt his pulse and found that he was dead. There was no gag in his mouth then. His hands and feet were tied. He found the gag in tho centre of the cabin floor. There was blood on it.

Tho Captain's throat was very much swollen. The witness returned to the deck and told the others the Captain was dead. There was practically no evidence for the defense. The lawyers for Delaney tried to show that Lawrence did cot die of the injuries received at Delaney's hands, but they made no attempt to deny the main statements concerning Delaney's brutal assault. Justice Pratt oharged the jury, and after being out less thsn half an hour, they returned with a verdict of murder in the first degree.

AFTEB SENTENCE. After being sentenced Delaney was handcuffed and taken to his cell. The reporter followed him and so did most of the spectators. The door waa closed against thom. After he had been put into his cell, and the shackles fastened to his legs, then the Eagle reporter was admitted alone by the courtesy of the Sheriff.

Delaney was in tears. His sobs were deep and loud. It was a touching spectacle the man of iron nerve who could coolly choke a human being to death, and stand unmoved under tbe sentence of death crying like a child. The reporter extended to him words of comfort, and In a few minutes his voice was audible and his words intelligible. Reporter Well, Delaney, do you think yon had a fair and impartial trial? Delaney Yes, I suppose so.

Did you expect that verdiot? Reporter Woll, yes. You had no defense whatever, and every charge of the prosecution went uncontradicted. Did the witness tell the truth Btrictly? Delaney No, they did not. Wright, the Deputy Sheriff, lied. The other two officers, contradicted each other.

Reporter Did yon succeed In sponding the $40 be fore being arrested? Delaney As God is my judge, I gave one of the $20 bills to the boys to divide. Reporter Why didn't you go on the stand and testify to this? Delaney My counsel would not let me. I was will ing to go on the stand. Reporter How about the gags. Why did you make two? Delaney I didn't make one even.

The mate who waa on tho vessel ran away from it at Port Johnston, where I was tried. He very likely made those gaga and left them behind. Delaney is a Catholic, twenty four years old. His father lives in Australia. He thinks that if it would not cost mora than $500 to get a new trial, be might be able to raise that sum among hia friends in Fall River.

E. E. D. SUNDAY 8HC0OL TEACHERS. The teachers of three Baptist schools com prised in the Second Division of the Eastern District last June, were last night assembled at the church, corner of Fifth and South Fifth streets.

Dr. Duryeawas to have addressed them but did not attend for some reason not explained. To make up for this deficiency the Berra. Bead and Rhodes spoke relative to the quaiin cation requisite xor success oaoDatu ocnooi teaching. Dr.

Bead said as careful a preparation was aa necessary aa to become a secular school teacher, and Dr. Rhodes remarked that, in addition, it was of the first importance that a teacher should possess an aptitude to gain control of the hearts of scholars. The need of a reference library in every church waa also recommended. A season of song followed, led by Mr. George S.

Weeks, the whole proceedings being under the direction of Mr. Eugene Blackford, President of the E. D. Teachers' Association. BBOKEIC TOWS.

Samuel Reamer, a good looking young man twenty one years of age, employed in a Wall Btreet broker's office and a resident of 317 Union street, was arrested by an officer of the Third Precinct last evening, on complaint of Isabella Whetston, a young lady residing on Columbia street. She charges that some time ago he seduced her under promise of marriage. They hare been keeping company for several months, and through the sickness of the young lady's mother she waB allowed more liberty than she would have otherwise enjoyed. Reamer denies the sedution and claims that she is not as virtuous as she might be. The parties were before Justice Delmar this morning, and an examination of the case was adjourned until next week.

A DEMORALIZED PABEEi. d. H. Gaston, a oolored youth, fifteen years of age, was brought before Justice Spencer, of East New York, yesterday afternoon, on charges of vagranoy and truancy, preferred against him by his father, G. G.

MoGee refused to do this and drova on. Moran picked up a large stone and running behind the wagon hurled it atMcGee and struok him upon the baok of the head knocking him senseless off the wagon. MoGee was taken to the Tenth Preoinot Station House where Dr.

This morning a party of boys were going along Fourth street near Grand, to sohool, one of them showing a pistol to the others.

The lad was taken, to hia home, 88 North Tuth atreet, in the amMlauoa. End of the Criminal Aotions Against Tilton and Meulton, The Indictments Abandoned bj District Attorney Britton This Morning HIg Reasons for so Doing, and the Direction Indicated in Which Monlton Can Find a Remedy if He Has Been Wronged or Thinks He Has.

This morning District Attorney Britton appeared In the City Court, before Judge Neilson, with three indictments In his hand. The room was crowded with lawyers, and on Mr. Brltton's rising and facing the bench there was deep silence. Tho proceedings were as follows Mr. Britton If the Court please, It has been my practioe while performing the duties of District Attorney of this oounty, whenever there was an indictment pending, the trial of which would, for any cause most surely not result in a oonvlotlon, nor in any pub lio benefit, to move for a nolle in tho caso.

This practice is founded upon a principle which I believe to be manifestly just and without exception in its application. The facts invoking it being clearly established, whetber the accused desires to be tried or not, or whether the accuser desires that he should be so tried can have no legitimate Influence upon a District Attorney representing not individual interests, but those of the aggregate people. They, the accused and acensrse, may only be consid ed in enabling the District Attorney to arrive at a Just conclusion aa to his duty la the premises. Prompted exorasively by these Bentiments, I move that a nolle prosequi be entered in the case of the People against Monlton, which is an Indictment for an alleged libel againet.Rev. Henry Ward Beeoher.

IN JUSTICE TO THE ACCUSED. It Is just to the accused that I Bbould say to this Court, that he has demanded from me a trial in this case, and has founded suoh demand upon alleged injustice to be done him by the People should they, after indicting him, decline to proceed to trial, whereby he may be enabled to vindicate himself from tne charge. It is the duty of the District Attorney, as I understand it, to prosecute those whom the interest of the people demands should be prosecuted for the punishment of crime through conviction, and aooeding to any demand for triaL on the theory claimed by the accused, would be entirely demoralizing to the administration of justice, so far as relates to the office of District Attorney. Any person deeming himself unjustly charged in an indictment, it seems to me must find HIS REPARATION FROM THE PEOPLE, In the voluntary motion of the proper officer representing them, and in the action of the court thereon, In oausing an entry upon the record of a nolle In the case, thereby furnishing permanent evidence of the abandonment by them of the prose cation under the indictment. This is my deliberate judgment, after a long and careful consideration, and I present these views to the Court for such action as it may deem proper, either in approval or disappronal thereof.

Should this Court entertain a different view, I am prepared to adopt and act upon its superior judgment. I repeat that I ask for an order of this Court directing nolle in this cose. THE MOTION RANTED. Chief Justice Neilson The notion la granted. I think it proper to say that recognizing that the questions involved in suoh cases rest largely in the judgment and discretion of the prosecutor representing the people.

In this particular case the views, expressed an the course proposed to be pursued by the District Attorney are proper, and commend themselves to our judgment as a fair and just exercise of the discretion necessarily vested in him. The clerk will make the proper entry. Mr. Britton I make a similar motion in tho case of the People against Monlton, for alleged liber against a lady of this community. Judge Neilson That motion Is also granted.

Mr. Britton I have still another motion of the same kind in the case of the People against Tilton for alleged libel against the Rev. Henry Ward Beecher. Judge HeilBon That motion is granted likewise and the proper entries will be made. LOCAL POLITICS.

JLmaliter. I have never held office in my life, and the dimculties of a oampaign to a novice, is a matter of great labor. I wish all to understand that I deprecate the statement made by my opponents, and industriously circulated, that I am the tool of certain men in Brooklyn. I am no man's tool or creature.

If elected, I shall do everything in my power to advance the interests of the City ol Brooklyn, assisted by the advice and counsel of the representative men of tho Democratic party.

JOHN B. KENNADAY'S SPEECH. Mr. John R. Kennaday was next introduced and said that he had as an opponent one well versed with political campaign life.

Laughter. With such an opponent, and running in a district which was ooncededly Republican, he knew that the hardest part of the campaign was to be borne by him. The people of the Eastern Dlstrlot should remember that while in the last Legislature of the State, ho had taken an interest in all Brooklyn. Business and social relations often brought him to the Eastern District, and consequently he was not unacquainted with the people there. He was happy to meet the members of the Jackson Club, formally or informally, and he thanked the President for placing the Club House at bis disposal during the campaign.

With regard to his opponent, it would not be courtesy to say anything at present, but he took occasion to correct a baseless rumor circulated to tho effect that he favored the Prospect Park Assessment bill. His coarse was well known. He had witnesses to prove that HIS OPPONENT WAS AT ALBANY LOBBYING IN THE INTEREST OS THE BILL. (Applause. His interests had been with them and he would, if elected, which entirely depended on their actions, interest himself on behalf of the Eastern District.

In such an event it would not only be his desire, but would give him sincere pleasure. Ex Judge A. Daily was the next speaker. He delivered an able speech during which he predicted a big majority for the Demooratio ticket. The nominees of tbe party he regarded as unexceptionable.

He paid a tribute to Mr. Lyon, candidate for Assembly, and closed by welcoming the guests and promising them a hearty support. He was warmly applauded throughout. CHARLES L. LION'S SPEECH.

Mr. Lyons, on being introduced, said that it was a matter of congratulation to see so many members of the club present. If elected to the Assembly he would use hiB exertions to further the interests of the District, as well as of the Demooratio party in America, Next year a President of the United States would be elected, and in order to assist a Democrat to that position he would use his exertions as a legislator. Applause. He was sorry that so far he had no opponent in the or he was desixouB of having one, in order to give him a bad defeat.

It seemed as if the Republicans were afraid to nominate a man. The will of the people of the Seventh Assembly District would be hiB, He had been a resident among them for tho past eight years, and if, duringthat time, there had been anything objecionable iu his Democracy or cbaraoter he would like to know it. Applause. It elected he would do his duty faithfully. MB.

BERNARD PETEBS' SPEECH. ifr. Peters, of the Times, was the next speaker. A gentleman had caned at bis house during his absence, and from the description given of him by his wife, before he had heard the name, he knew it to be Mr. Rowe, He was described aa a fine looking, whole souled man, and his appearance just now justified that de scription.

ie naa como, not so muca to attena tne meeting of the Club as to see the next Mayor of Brooklyn. Applause. In this country nothing lessened the asneritv of politics so much as social organizations like the Jackson Olub. No doubt all the candidates wanted to be elected, and ne would like to see them all elected, Laughter. If he understood the Jackson Club's especial desires or mission or object, it was to have the people of the Western District to understand that there was such a place aa the Eastern District in existence.

Applause.) IJnti lately no consideration had been shown that section of the city. Latterly a better suirit nrevailed. and a few concessions on the eommlBSions were made. It was admitted on all sides that tho gentleman who at present serve on the Fire and Police Commissions have records second to thoBe of no public officials in Brooklyn. Applause.

Mr. Rowe, at this point, stepped up to Mr. Peters and reminded him that in the only pubHo office which he ever held, the Board of Education, the Eastern District men ruled. No doubt their intelligence did this, and backed by the Jackson Club, men of that section would cet a fair recognition in the future. Mr.

Peters continued that he believed Mr. Bowe would administer the city government fairly if elected, and that he had a clear record as ah honest man. He wanted Mr. Rowe, or whoever would be elected Mayor, to do luBtice bv the Eastern District. Ex Judge Thompson and Mr.

Robert McCoy delivered annronriate sneeches. after which Mr. Cunningham in vited all down stairs to partake of a bounteous lunch which was spread. Hhortlv after Messrs. Rowe and Kennaday denarted and at a late hour Alderman Howell and Judge Beiily left, Another IVerlns Banner.

Y. H. 0. A. A Deception WUlcn was Not a Be ceptton.

The Entertainment Committee of the Young Men's Christian Association is to bo credited with the perpetration of a huge joke. Invitations were issuod for a "Complimentary Musical Roception" to take place last evening under the direction of Prof. R. S. True.

These were lavishly distributed, and the consequence was that a large and brilliant audience assembled in the hall of the Association. There was a grand piano on tho stsge and everything betokened an evening of song, save that there were no programmes and nobody seemod to know who was going to take part. There waa a mysterious looking structure at the back of the platform which oaused considerable speculation as to what it might be, as the moments sped toward eight o'clock. Punctual to the minute, Professor True made his appearance and his preliminary bow. He was accompanied by a feminine looking youtb, who took his seat at the instrument.

Then the mystery of the ingenious piece of carpenter work, which had baffled tho keenest curiosity, was solved. The Professor manipulated a concealed cord, and there unrolled from tbe bottom upward a finely executed chart, on which were displayed tho eight numbers and names of the diatonic scale. The effect upon tho audience was indescribable. It required a few minutes for them to fully comprehond that the complimentary musical reoeption was no more nor less than an ele mentary class in sight reading. 'As the truth dawned upon them with each succeeding reiteration of tbe Professor's 1, 2, 8, 4, 6, 6, 7.

8 now sing," they began to get up and get, until finally there was hardly more than a corporal's guard left. Professor True explained that he had endeavored to Impress upon the committee that there was a liability of people being misled by announcing the affair aa a reception, but they had disre garded his protest. He begged the audienoe to regard the matter as a typographical blunder," and exonerate all parties from any intent to mislead. The Young Men's Christian Association is deserving of encouragement in its efforts to amplify the musical knowledge of the community but if it can Beoure stu dents in no more legitimate manner than that resorted to last evening, the sooner it abandons this field of education the better. ALMOST A TRAGEDY.

A Rencontre Between Tiro Actors Wil Uham Carlton on tuo War Path. An Elopement. About eleven o'clock last night, a tall, slen derly built individual, clad in a cream colored overcoat buckskin pants, with a glass button in his shirt front, and a very bad slouch hat drooping over his furrowed brow, passed hurriedly from Myrtle avenue up Wash ington street. He appeared to be in search of somebody. Near the Brooklyn Theatre he paused and looked intently at a young man, who was standing at the door of that building, and said, with a dramatic air, extending his cotton gloved hand, "Am I mistaken "I do not think that you are," the young man an swered.

"Sir," this the young man with the cream colored coat said in a very loud tone, "Sir!" And then gazing on the crowd which began to collect about him, he continued, lifting his voice until he almost screamed "Sir, what have I done to you? Why this misunderstanding between us? Have I ever done you an evil turn?" "Well, I do not think you ever put yourself out of the way to do me a good turn," tho young man cooUy replied. Then placing his hands in his pockets he continued: "By the by, you did do me unintentionally a good turn onoe. However, I do not wish to have anything to say to you." the young man with the cream colored coat grated his teeth and grasped himself by the neck, as he continued, "Sir, you are no manl no man, sir, and Wil liham Carl ton tells you sol" "Oh! I've heard suoh roosters like you talk before; I don't care what yon say." "Sir, I do not wish ta know you. Go, go hence." "Well, if you do not wish to know mo why did you stop me, eh?" "Go, sir, go to, aha," and the yonng man with tbe cream colored coat who had said that HE WAS WIL LIHAM OABL TON, spat on the walk, clutched his coat collar with one hand ana pressed with the other his hat into a more stunning slouch on his head, and then strode down Washington street, unconscious of the crowd he passed, muttering, "ugh, fie, ugh, fie upon him." Tbe young gentleman whom he had acoosted qnietly watcbed him as he passed down the street, and then laughing turned to some of the people who had witnessed the meeting and said: "That man is William Carlton, the indifferent Irish comedian; ha, ha, what a specimen he is." When he had ceased from the laughter which the idea of Carlton's abilities as a comedian had provoked, he continued "This is the first time we have met in bIi years. I am oonneoted with the dramatic profession now engaged with Mr.

Belmore at the Brooklyn Theatre. This comedian and I were acquainted but he took advantage of that acquaintance, and six years ago, the time we last met, he stole my wife from me. On discovering that she had gone away with him I told our landlady that I would not require the rooms any longer, and took the affair as philosophically as I could. I did not bother myself or Wil llham. It was the tak ing off of my wife I had reference to when I told the fellow that he had unintentionally done me a good turn.

I guess he found her all my fancy painted her." Mr. Peck, this is the name of the gentleman, declared that he did not wish to be annoyed by this man and intimated that it would not be well tor the comedian to continue bis annoyance. Mr. Peck is a very gentlemanly man, and has the good will and friendship of his associates. FELONIOUS ASSAULT.

Patrick Halone, a rigger, residing in Fur man atreet, had a quarrel with Conrad Missel, of No. 56 Hopkins street, last evening, and Malone drew a pocket knife and threatened to stab Missel.

The Perpetrator of the Schuetzen Park Atrocity. An Outline of the Story His lawyers Propose to Relate to the Jury. It is expected that the trial of James Mc Guire, who was indicted for the killing of Daniel Jackson at Schutzen Park on Friday morning last, will take plaoo in a week or two. His counsel, Messrs. Morris 4 Fearsall, are working assiduously and have the defenae nearly complete.

McOulre's side of the story is as follows Tint on the night of the murder, he, in company with the other parties who have been arreBted in the case, went to the picnic at Schutzen Park for the purpose of having some fun. They were encouraged in their advances by the colored folks, and especially tho women who acted in a very loose and abandoned manner. They danced with them Bcveral times during the evening. The colored men who had escorted the women to the picnic seemed to become quite jealous at tho favor which he (McGuire) and his companions found in the eyes of the women, and some words passed between them. The conversation, however, was not of a nature which led them to suppose that the colored women were seriously offended at their behavior, and as they were not severely remonstrated with they continued their advances toward the women.

About half past one o'clock tho men and women pre pared to leave the Park, and MOGTJIBE PABTY WEBB ENCOTJBAGED TO LEAVE by the women. Their escorts, seeing that the Mo Guire party were about to follow, spoke to the women, and it is supposed told them not to further encourage the white men. They left the Park, and the white men followed. When they got outside McGuire went up to Mrs. Henry and aBked her to go back into the Park with him.

She refused, saying that the colored men had told her to have nothing further to do with them. He persisted in his demandB that she should go along with him, and she refused, at last becoming quite angry. The other two colored women, who were in the party, also got mad, and they, with THE COLOBED MEN COMMENCED TO ASSAULT THE m'quiee OEOWD. One of the women whom McGuire cannot recognize or remember, picked up the stone which he iB said to have thrown, and threw it at him. He dodged it and it struck JackBon in the forehead.

Seeing JackBon fall, McGuire and his friends, fearing that they might be arrested, ran away. They can't explain how Henry Thompson, the other murdered man, canie to bo hit, but they persist in tho declaration that they arc innocent of the murders. The action of the police the case has caused considerable comment. Sergeant Morrill and Officer Coffee, of the Eighth Sub Precinct, were detailed to the park on the evening of the murders, for the purpose of pretectiDg the colored people, as it was feared that some of the white desperadoes who infest the neighborhood might interfere in the festivitieB. THESE OFEIOEBS WEBE NOT ON HAND at the time of the assault.

Tho affray took place so near the Park, and the facts of it spread so quickly, that if the officers were attending to their duty, the men would have been arrested two hours sooner than they were. They Bay, however, that they wcro escorting a party of colored pcoplo from the grouud, as they feared that they might be assaulted, and that they returned five minutes after the murders were committed. Acting Captain Maher is making a thorouii investigation. "ATI USSY FAI1CK. A Real Ksilnfc A (rent Who Proceeded to l.jcct IS is Tenant awl Wat HEtmsetf Ejected A Pistol in the Case A Decision 1 lint Matched Romiil.

This morning the case of Manly A. Itulaiid againBt Euclid BurnB and AgiieB BurnB, that ha bsen adjourned from time to time, came on for trial before Justice Semler. The three parties to tho were each represented by a different lawyer, aud the contest was thus made lively. Tho complainant iB a real estate agent, and claims to have control of premises that woro occupied by Mrs. BurnB until a period quite recent.

Mr. Euclid Burns is a brother in law of the lady, and seemB to have lived in the same house. Tho trouble between the parties arose about Mrs. Burns tonanoy and Mr. It Ulan (1 'a right to act in tho capacity of agent for their owner.

It culminated in what Ruland claimed to be an assault and battery committed upon him, and, as Mr, Burns contendod, in an attempt on the part of Ruland to "shoot him liko a dog." After a wearisome interchange of chaff and badinage between the lawyers, Ruland was permitted to tell his story. He began by informing the Court that ho had the "displeasure" of forming Euolid Burns' acquaintance, on the 2lBt of last month, at Mrs. Burns' residence, No. 932 Putnam avenue. He was the agent her landlord and went to collect the Septemb rent.

When he siw Mrs. Burns, she took exception to a postal card he had sent her addressed "Agnes Burns;" el a thought the card ehould hive borne tho FASHIONABLE PBEFIX "MES." in front of her name. Witness thought that had nothing to do with the rent and told her so. She then called her brother in law, and as soon as he appeared on the scene ho inquired in a melodramatic manner, which the witness mimicked, whether Ruland was the man who wrote the card 7 "Yea," said Kuland. "The man who wrote that card," said BurnB, "must be a brute," with which information witness said he seized him and told him to get out of the house.

In taking hold of him ho made a ront in his vest, which was the only rent he received, as counsel, in an effort to be facetious, remarked. After this Mrs. Bums joined in the fray and sIbo tock hold of witness. "There was a general hubbub," continued Ruland; "he was hauling me out ot the house aud she was buzzing around mo on all sides. I could do nothing.

I was between ONE AMAZON AND ONE GIANT. My necktie was pulled down by them and I looked lik a man very much disheveled." "That was bad," said the Judge. "It was like leading a mule, your Honor," naid counsel for defendant, and amid the laughter caused by this remark, Ruland left the stand. Euclid Bums was next called. He is a powerful man with a determined physiognomy, and would bo a tough customer to meet in an encounter.

He gave Mb testimony in a straightforward manner. Ht was to tho er fect that on the day named Ruland came to MrB. Burns' house, and threatened to turn her out of doors if Ehe did not pay her rent. Mrs. Burns then called witness, and requested him to put Ruland out, as she never had boon authorized to pay tho reut to him.

Witness then asked if he wrote the postal card at whith offense had been taken, and Ilulaml i eolied that he bar1. "I then informed him," continued the witness, "that it was no particular credit to hun and asked him ii hOBaw the door Hcrepbedthat the house was his and that he would not leave until he got ready. I tbn got my arms around him and lifted him out. "I tell you," he concluded, "I PUT HIM OUr HANDSOMELY. Witness then followed him to the court yard iu front of the house, and there he says, Ruland attempted to draw a pistol on him, when Mrs.

Burns came to hiB assistance and caught Ruland by the arm. Mrs. Agnes A. Burns corroborated her brother iu law'B testimony, and a little miEB of oleven years age named Eva Burns, was put on the stand and swore that she saw Ruland put hie ha back towards hie pistol pocket, and heard him say he would shoot her unkey like a dog." A number of witnesses were then sworn in relation to the character of Mr. and Mrs.

Burns, with the view of impeaching their testimony, and after two hours and a half occupied in hearing the whole Btory, Justice Sender found the male defendant guilty of aBsanlt and battery, and suspended sentence upon him. Ruland he found to have committed a breach of th0 peace, and held him to bonds for his future good behavior. SHOOTING. On the 18th of September last, Stephen MolJey obtained tickets from the New York Park Commissioners, procuring him employment as a stone cut ter in the Central Park, where ho had been previously employed as a blacksmith. He presented his ticket to Jno.

8. Smith, the superintendent of the works. After working two days, it was discovered Molley was not a stone cutter, and he was accordingly discharged. Ho threatened on several occasions to kill Smith, and carried out hia tbi eat by shooting at Smith, xbe bullet passed through the fleshy part of his right arm, and was only prevented from entering bis abdomen by coming in contact with his truss. The prisoner was arraigned in the Court of GcneTa! Sessions to day, before Judge Boutherland, on a charge of assault with intent to kill.

His counsel tried hard to get him to. plead to simple asBanlt, but to no purpose. On taking the witness stand ho pleaded in justification of the shooting that Smith, by discharging trim, had taken his bread from him, and that he meant to chastise, but not kill him. Frederick Griffin, of One Hundredth street and Eighth avenue, swore that the day prior to the shooting tho prisoner showed him a pistol and said he was going to kill Smith with it. The jnry, without leaving their seats, found tho prisoner guilty, and he was sent to Etate Prison for a term of ten years.

Failure, London, October 22. re. G. D. Ncroutees Company, merchants, of London and Manchester, have failed.

The liabilities are Btated to be $250,000, but tho Manchester Courier says a large American houso and various firms in Bradford will lose from $500,000 to by the failure. for dissatisfaction was found in the faot that through the inactivity of the inspectors in finding the names of voters, delay waa oooasioned and nearly 100 citizens prevented from depositing their ballots. Many charged that this was a job to prevent the assured defeat of the Ring nominations, which was quite as positively repelled by those implicated. A glaring Irregularity is said to have been practiced in counting the Supervisor ballots, and in this manner Upon counting the tickets there was found an exoeas of thirty four over the poll list and that number was removed. It appears that thirty of the thirty four tlokets extracted were for Far rington, whose friends assert that care was taken not to pick oat Clark's tickets.

At any rate by this means Mr. Clark la eaid to hare gained the nomination. Mr. Cottrell gained the Aldermanio nomination with a majority of 95, the vote standing 290 to 195 for Mr. Wridington.

The vote for Supervisor was as follows Clark, 251 FarAngton, 217 Young, H. Under the cironm staaces it is threatened by many ot the party to oppose the election of Mr. Clark. Nevtns In the Fifth Ward. An enthusiastic meeting of the Thomas F.
