TEE LATEST JERSEY MYSTERY.

The Trenton Canal Boat Anray-Eiley,s
Death Caused by Apoplexy-Gilloi Dis-
charged.
The Coroners Jury empanelled to inquire into the
death OF Patrick Riley, at Trenton, pursued their
investigation yesterday. The only testimony Of
any importance was that Of the physicians who
made the post-mortem examination. Dr. Coleman.
Jr. stated as follOws:-I made post-mortem exam.
nation, assisted by DR.. Reed, on the body OF Pat
rick Reilly; the first thing, on removing the scalp
from the skull, Just beneath the bruise there was
a small cot OF blood; but there was no INJURY to DO
detected in the skull at this point On removing
the skull cap from the skull the lining
membrane OF the brain was gorged with
blood. On dissecting the brain there
was an efIusion Of blood and small clot OF blood
at the anterior base OF the brain. There were some
appearances In the brain that indicated softening
at different points. There was no fracture OF the
skull splitting OF the inner table; on examining
the chest both lungs were found congested, also
the right aurIce and ventrcle OF the
heart. The lungs showed that there
had been peursy Of BOTH but not the result OF this
affair. The other organs OF the body were n about
as good state as Is usually found In fifty years
OF age. Being a drinking man and exposed to cold
the blood flowed to the brain. There was the con.
diton Of the brain which rendered IL liable to rup-
ture which was the case at the base as was shown
by the cl0t OF blood. There were
no INDICATIONS OF VIOLENCE
but the state OF the body was such as would be
found IN apoplexy. His death was the result Of
exposure and hard drinking. Deceased had proDa-
bly, fallen and caused the bruse Being in q state
Of stupor from drink he was helpless after he had
fallen. The bleeding from the nose was probably
the result Of the congestion at the base or the brain.
The question was whether he would have had apo.
plexy II he had not been exposed TO cold. In
year or SO he might have died from apOplexy with
out exposure. The softenlng OF tue coats OF the
arteries Of The brain makes them weak, and when
they get gorged with blood they burst. The Hood
ing OF the lungs with blood was sufficient 10 cause
death but that was the result In this case OF the
enusion OF blood on the brain.
the Jury returned q verdict that Riley came to
his death from apoplexy. Glllooly was tLereupon
discharged.

COGGINS FOR CONGRESS-.

The Democratic and Liberal Republican
Conventions which met at Sacramento on
the 4th inst. nominated Paschal Coggins as
candidate for Congress in the Second Dis
trct. Mr.. Coggins has heretofore figured
with the Republican party, but LETT it and
came out on the side of reform when that
party refused to act in a manner consistent
with the views Of an honest man. His re-
cord cannot be assaied In regard to the
important issues now at stake, and especially
tho between the people and monopolies, b,
has stood and stands now immoyably true
to the people. But to make assurance douOly
sure, the platform on which he stands, and
which lie most heartily endorsed, is one OF
the most outspoken, emphatic and compre-
hensive anti Railroad instruments ever placed
before the people. For many reasons, Pas
chal Coggins is the very best man that under

LOUISVILLE.

The rotten, corrupt, unprncipled element
of the Democratic party have done their
work, in a manner; received their pay and
gone home again to boast over their Infamous
! act, under the guise of loyalty ard devotion
to their former principles. We are pleased
things are as they are. If we have swim
ding, diSloyal dupes among us, who would
sell tleir country and themselves for a price,
we are glad to see them rise to the surface
in time for the people to inspect their actions
"yre called upon to render a verdict. The
! vples money in he hands Of Grant and his
trembling league, has been lavishly used in
buying up what few Democrats were for
sale. After raking and scraping the country
from one end to the other, they succeeded in
barely getting enough to put in motion their
swindling design. The purchased yassels
were commanded TO go TO Louisville, and
under the name Of true Democracy, put up
platform and nominate candidates for Pres
ident and Vice President, and thus divide
the opposition TO Grant. Their orders were,
be sure and nominate men whose records
are consistent or your nsincerity will be de-
tected and if it is we are gone On the Sd
inst. they assembled, and it was discovered
that 10 good man in ali the republic would
accept nomination which would bring upon
him only shame and disgrace. No alterna-
tive was left Int to adjourn until they conld
receive instructions from headquarters.
These instructions, it is reasonable TO infer,
were, nominate O'Conor; pay no attention
to lis refusal; we will see that he accepts.
At work again they went, and by
unanimous acclamation gave the nomination
for President on tEeir scallawag ticket to
Charles O'Conor, and with him associated
John Quincy Adams for Vice President,
Notwithstanding they held Il leitc: in THEN
hands from the former, in Hhich he positive
ly declinep to accept the nomination. Mon
ey-the peoples money will be poured at
OConor's feet until lie says enough, 70 in
ducc him to accept. We wait to see if he
will fall. If he does net, rest assured he
is invulnerabe to corruption.
