Minute inquiries sere instituted and diligeni search
made, but no such person Nesohmesser vas TO be
found, and the police came to the conclusion that
Robner had fabricated the story. Rohner was in
formed Of the spcions Of the officers but be insists
ed that he had got the money from NeschmesSer,
and further stated that be tEeschmesssr1 had offered
one Of the bills for sale at the office Of Mr.. Bern-
heimer broker in Greenwich street, when Mr.. Bern
heimsr offered him $40 for il, which amount he
refused. Subsequently he sold the note TO Mir
Belmont, at a much higher price. Robner was still
further questioned, but his answers we're very IN
satisfactory and evasive. Keaeie also underwent a
private examination in the hopes that some facts
would be elected, tending to show who we're the
originaiors and getters up Of the fraud, but his
answers to all questions propounded were alike I'M
satisfactory
Assistant District Attorney SedgWiek closely ex-
smined the prisoner Sturzenneger, but the accused
did not seem inclined to expose any knowledge he
might have Of the fraud The prisoners allstill
very closemOuthed, and pretend TO know nothing
more Of the affair than above stated. The evidence
thus far obtained by the police is pretty strong
against them, and they viii doubt be imprisoned
some time to come. pending further investigation.

WHITE sEAvERY.-The English Parliamentary
evidence of the condition of the dressmaker's APP
prentices in London shows that in ordinary times,
eighteen hours day is the allotted time for work,
and during the height of the season. young girls are
sometimes only allowed four hours repose, when
they are reused to resume their toll. Strong coffee
is administered to enable them ply their needle for
twenty hours, without relaxation.
According to the New York Express, the state of
things though not so bad in New York. is bad enough
where caps are made at a shilling dozen, panta
looms at fifteen cents pair shirt bosoms at fourteen
cents dozen, and shirts at five cents each. There
are eighty thousand working women in the city of
New York, not sill working these rates, but vast
body of them are. The aborers and clerks, accord
ing to the Eprsss are compelled to work for nominal
sums, whilst their employers riot in wealth.
The Rev. Daniel Downey has just had second
trial at staunton Va, for the murder of VIM. Null
lens, in that place, year ago, and mas been con-
vieted of murder in the second degree. The Staun-
ton Spectator says: The term Of imprisonment in
the Penilentiary was fixed for eight years The
prisoner received he announcement with fortitude
slightly increased psllor and dOwnoast expression
Of oountenanoe being the only symptoms of emotion
Thus has ended trial which has excited great in
tarest in this community and throughout the coun-
try. The prisoner, atthe time Of the murder, it
will be recollected was Catholic Priest, and was
attempting to ooeree Mulens into marrying a girl
whom he (AIullens) had ruined and deserted.
The Evidence of an Opponent,
The most shameless charges have been made by
the Southern Opposition Press, against the Admin
istratiOn. The President has been accused Of ap-
pointing freesoilers to office, and though 70 facts
have been cited to sustain the charge it has been
repeated again and again with all toe energy Of ma
lignant prejudice and reckless luminosity. We may
disprove the charge by the most inoOntestible evil
denee to-day, and it is removed tomorrow and cir
culated too with that unblushipg efrontory which
ehsraoterIzes many of the Opposition press.
Well the poor fellows have so little political CAPT
al, that they obliged to use their false coinage
and counterfeit currency to sustain themselves Still
we must caution the public against receiving their
spurious issue.
The following extract from the New York Tribune
