CRIME IN NEW YORK AND BRoOKLYN.-New

horrors. In the latter city man named Frank

was kicked to death by the proprietor. In the
former city number of similar crimes are re-
corded, but the leading sensation is the trial of
woman for murder. This wOman's name is
Rebecca Ellen Ute, who is charged with having
stabbed to death Thomas Barrett, i'm September
last. In this trial much discussion occurred on
Monday as to the competency Of witness who
was the reputed but not the real husband of the
prisoner; and the brother of the murdered
man. The counsel for the defense objected to
his testimony, ON the ground that as the two
had been living together man anu wife I.
" their union was as Taii1 as many of the mar
riages performed by Henry Ward Beecher him
SELF" This objection. it appears, would have
been sustained but for the fact that the witness
proved to have been legally married to another
woman, and SO, notwithstanding what these
two had been to each other" Barretts testi-
mOny against her will be admitted. The trial
continues.

The New York Tribune of yesterday saws -
A-large number of the men have already re-

for reinstatement from others are daily re-

case thus far have received favorable consider
alton. The men unhesitatingly admit that they
are beaten; that the whole action of their lead,
ers in this movement was exceedingly ill-ad-

this feeling is shared i'm by nearly every member
of the League in this city. But few more of the
strikers will be received at the main office. for
the reason that their services are not required.

SUPERVISOR MCDONALD, of the Arkansas In
ternal Revenue District, arrived here yesterday
on business connected with the duties of his
position. He fully confirms the reports hereto
fore published in relation to the frauds i'm to-
bacco practiced in the Indian Territory. He
states that immense quantities Of leaf tobacco
raised outside OF the Territory are car
ried within its limits, and there manufactured
the operators protesting to believe that they
can escape taxation thereon under the
terms of the treaty heretofore negotiated
with its inhabitants. Mr.. Mcdonald, hold
ing a different view, has seized all the fac
tories and unstamped tobacco which he could
reach, and placed under arrest some of the
principal operators, including Mr.. Boudinot,
the well-known half breed, who commanded
rebel Indian regiment during the late rebellion,
and who has been running a tobacco factory,
working some sixty hands all on the product of
other States 1t is understood that strong efforts
win be made before the Commissioner of Inter
nal Revenue to procure removal Of the embar-
go thus placed on the profitable Illicit trade Of
the Territory, but as the matter Is now virtually
in the hands of the courts it is thought these eff
forts Will not meet with success.
Mr.. Mcdonald reports that fearful state of
decentralization exists throughout the Territory
and in the sections Of Arkansas and Texas lying
contiguous to it, and that the inhabitants or
those regions are habitually and apparently by
concert setting the Internal Revenue laws at
defiance. He says, however, that the officers of
the Federal courts are determined that the laws
shall be enforced, and he feels confident that the
offenders will be punished and their property
condemned when their cases come to trial.

GRACE GREENwOOD's LECTURE at Lincoln
Hall on Monday night was an effort worthy of
this witty writer and speaker, and nOtwith-
standing the rain storm, was listened to by a
large and attentive audience, who expecte d
something better than the usual run of lee
lures, and were not disappointed Her subject,
'ln-doors," was dissertation, grave and gay
by turns, en- the pleasures the duties, and the
dangers of married life, and wac full of telling
hits at the follies of the times.
The PERFORMANCE of "Schcol" by Laura
Keene's Philadelphia company at Wallis Opera
House, last night, attracted large and
fashionable audience; and the telling points in
this sparkling comedy of Robertson's were fre-
quently greeted with laughter and applause.
The leading characters are fine sketches of
character and do credit to the company, but the
portraits of the malignant Krux by Mr.. Otis,
and the old beau Farintosh by Mr.. Wallis are
just little overdrawn. The piece will be re-
peated this evening, and those who prefer a fine
comedy well played to sensational drama should
see it.
