THE ROCHESTER MURDER.
An Interview with Mcssncr.

IRON the Rochester IN. W Union, Sept 2l.]
The day following the argument for new trial
for Joseph Messner In the General Term OF the SUI
prcme Court one or hrs counsel, Mr. Ripsom, left the
CITY on professional engagements, aud did not re-
turn until this morning. when he learned OF the de-
cisl0n IN the case; and no, with Messner's other
counsel, Mr.. Wilson, and reporter, proceeded to
the jail, when Messner was informed OF his fate. lie
received 1t with considerable emotion, and at once
informed Mr. Ripsom that he was not In the right
frame 0f mind to converse; that the intelligence had
unnerved him. This was evident from his manner.
He said he mad not before neard Of the decison he
did not care about the matter. although life was
sweet to him-that the man VINO bet his money
on his being fool would lose II; he was ready TO
die" &c. lie did not wish to converse with any OF
the reporters at present. lie thanked his counsel
when paper containing the decision was given
him, and when they turned 70 leave him lie shook
hands with Mr. Wilson and tears trckled down his
cheeks. lie evidently had hopes that the court
would grant him new trial, and now that that hope
was crushed the reaction unnamed him. and he
did not know what 10 say. In all previous inter-
Views with him ne had not shown the least enOtion
aud We were unprepared tosee u at this interview.
His counsel were forbearins and generous IN not
prolonging the interview and our reporter left Iflm
with the impression that before hessner's execu-
tion he would make fun aud free confession.
Since his incarceration under suspended sentence
kessner has grown heavy whisksrr. but has not
improved IN flesh. HIS general health ~ good.
He has the range Of the common prison with the
other prisoners.

estimates that there is of paper cur

gal tenders, National Bank notes,

Government, and obout S300,000,-
900 by the National Danks--the
National Bank issues being based
upon the Government bonds.
Out ofthe privilege granted them
to carry on their business, and ont
of the interest drawn on their bonds
deposited IN Washington, these Ma
