general demand from the public, Mr.. W. Car

responsible for them He has been ready
at all times to make this expose, and has
only waited for a call from his fellow-citi-
zens to answer it. tits known to his friends

whose advice he was guided.
The following statement is as full and ex-
plicit as he can make it, without the posses
sion of the contractors books, which have
been carried off by his partners, the Messrs.
Affords, who still conceal them.
The firm of Willard Carpenter & Co.,

following assets, out of which they were to

should pay $50, 900 per mile for building
the road, and the assets were to be taken al
par. But the road guaranteed that the
bonds should sell for at least seventy-five
cents on the dollar; in other words, the
road was to be S22, 500 per mile, taking thu
assets at seventy-fve cents on the dollar

The SEsArR,--The Democratic Senator from
Ohio, Mr.. Pugh, yesterday in aspesch over
hauled Mr.. Iverson and Mr.. dwin, Senator
respectfully from Georgia and California, and
discharged heavy and small shot at intervals
upon the adverse wing Of hia party Literally
taking his game on the wing. A piqusni

investigate the Harpsr's Ferry difficulty were
allowed to employ clerk. l'aa#
HOUSE. Hickman and Singleton drew from
each other some strong admissions; the South
erner threatening disunion and forsshadoHing
that Col. Jefferson Davis, of Miss, might
gain load armies to battle. JEFF. might posi-
bly, lead, but We doubt whether any army
would risk their necks and march with so
iiimsy prstsxt for cause against the Federal
troops. After three ballots, in two Of which
Mr.. Sherman needed but four more votes to be
elected, the House adjourned.

RECEIPTS.

MuRDER0us AssAuLT.-A man named Danie
Kahn was arrested day before yesterday on a
warrant Issued at the instance Of Mr.. Frank,
who charges him with assault with intent te
kill. It appears that Kahn and lad named
Henry Frank became involved In quarrel on
Monday Of last week, at Bencksnsteln's Gar
den, and while F. was on his way homo K.
struck him upon the head with bowlder tied
In handkerchief, and injured him SO severely
that 1t is hardly expected he can recover.
Kahn was committed, in default Of bail to the
amount Of $l,6OO, for his appearance on
Thursday next.

POLICE CouRr.- Forty one persons were be-
fore the Police Court yesterday morning, but
there was very little business Of moro than
ordinary interest. We give the finale Of a
couple Of cases which have heretofore been
related in our columns.
Emma Moore, charged with the larceny Of
six dollars from o man who was induced by
her frailty to accompany him to the maiden
pamour in which she resided, was sentenced to
hard labor at the County Jail for term Of two
months.
A fellow named Patrick Clark, who belongs
TO that large and contemplate class who are
in the habit Of abusing their families, was ar
rested on Saturday night last, aud confined in
the station house, upon charge of having
assaulted his wife. Heappeared before Judge
Lowe yesterday morning, and was sentenced
to pay the costs of the prosecution, and to be
confined in the dungeon Of the County Jail
and fed on bread and water for term Of Eve
days.
The case of Annie Richmond, who is charged
with harboring persons Of elastic chastity, was
examined yesterday before ajury. The prose-
cutting witness, Isaac Frost, we believe, did
not appear, and the testimony which was elic-
tied failed to impress the entire jury as suf-
ficient to convict the defendant, and they
were discharged at ten O'Clock last night, the
ballot standing seven for acquittal and five
for conviction. The case will be reheard on
Friday next.

FAIB FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE SISTERS OF

of Mercy, which opened last night at the Me
lodeon Hall, was largely attended. The pro-
ceeds are to be devoted to the purchase Of q
piece of property, where these charity dis

to pursue the objects of their institution; and
we heartily hope that during the fortnight

ANOTHER s.op LIFE's TRAeEDIEs-A WOMAN
Dies IN An EXPRESS WAGON ON HER WAY TO
THE HosPlfAL.--A woman named Harriet
Black was driven to the Commercial Hospital,
Yesterday, in an express wagon, and to the
astonishment of the persons who conveyed her
thither, when they took her from the vehicle,
they found nothing save the inanimate clay
which but short time before had been the
abode of soul. The deceased was thirty
eight yesrs of age, and had been married a.
most one-half Of that time. Z Her husband,
boweyer, deserted her year or two ago, and
since then che has been compelled to earn .
ubslstenee as best she might.
Coroner Carey held an inquest upon tht
body yesterday evening, and the jury rendered
o verdict of death from want and privation.
