Some consultation followed between the counsel
and tho Bench, after which Mr.. McKeon said that
his impression was that separation OF Jurors in
such cases mattered very little; but his associates
differed rom him. and he therefore assented to the
request made by his colleague.
The Court suggested that as but two Jurors were
sworn as yet, an officer of the court should be de-
tailed to accompany them home and remain with
them until the reassembling of the Court.
The counsel accepted the proposition OF His
Honor, and the Court then adjourned till this
morning.

MYSTERIOUS SHOOTING AFFAIR.
The Victim In n Dangerous Condition.
Several Persons Arrested.

At an early hour yesterday morning Coroner
Young called ont OF bed for the purpose OF TAX
ing the antemortem statement OF John Green, O
member Of Hope Lodge, and spotter on the Third
Avenue Railroad, who was represented to be lying
in very dangerous condition from the effects of
pistol shot wound OF the left breast which
he had received few hours previously.
On reaching the hospital the Coroner called at the
bedside OF the sufferer, but Mr. Green declined
making a statement believing, as he did, that his
life was In no immediate danger. Green and q
number Of others had been drinking late at night
west corner of Fiity-second street and Third ave-
nue., and while there Schwob and Charles II. Smith
had quarrel during which, II is alleged, the latter
threatened to take Schwob's life. Alter closing up
his place, at two O'Clock, Mr. SchwOb, after taking
pistol for selfprotectien, started away with
Green and Smith On reaching home he dis
charged barrel OF his revolver In the street for
amusement. Tho friends then separated, and
while going down Fifty-fourth street, between
accosted him, and placing revolver to his breast
discharged 1t, tho bullet passing In beyond the
reach OF probe. The assassin then fed, says
Green, and made his escape. Green was taken to
Nineteenth precinct station house, and from thence
to the Hospital Captain Gunner, OF the Nineteenth
precinct started out his men, and soOD afterwards
Schwob, Smith, Edward Hope, VIM. Braiton and
Charles Raus, all Of whom had been N the lager
saloon, were arrested and taken to the station
house. The police think that Schwob ,s the mau
who shot Green, but think n so II was accidental
but this Green positively denies. Tho case Is In
volved In mystery. Mr.. Green lives In Second ave.
nue., near Fifty third street.

IsRAEI, RRnMN.

There are individuals found in every
community who, differing in some marked
particular from the common herd, by that
fact become distinguished. A large nose,
a great head or very small one, have
made great men. Israel Brown is a char
acter, but not distinguished for any such
peeuliarities, nor because of his color, al
though he is black, nor because he wears
No. 16 shoes, large, nor even that he is an
honest, faithful public servant, which he
certainly is, but his renown is of higher
grade; it is the distinction which the law
imparts, and ranks him among the marked
men of his time. He is character in his
tory. q monument of the progress of
events.
Israel Brown was slave and as such
employed in tobacco warehouse before
the war. He was a sort Of superintendent.
A difficulty arose one day between himself
and boy, also employed in the same es-
Enlistment. A white man becoming in-
volved in the alteration which followed,
received blow at the hands of Israel, for
which the latter was arrested, tried and
convicted in the Hastings court of Rich
mond, January 18th, 1859, on the charge
Of "feloniously wounding white person."
He was sentenced to be sold and transport
ed beyond the limits Of the State, not to re-
turn during the terneof has natural life.
The war broke out, found the prisoner
in the penitentiory, the judgment of sale
and transportation not having been exc
cuted. Governor Smith brought the pri-
soner from the penitentiry, and put him to
work driving the police cart in the public
square. The slaughter, disaster, sorrow,
suffering of the war came and passed away,
with the different state administrations.
still leaving Israel Brown patient, plodding
and contented driving the same police cart
in the public grounds, until October, 1868,
when, his testimony becoming necessary
in chancery cause, Major Johns, of this
city, applied for and obtained his pardon
from Governor Wells. 8s-
We are happy to say that Israel still
drives the cart in the same public square,
and must, we are sure, be justly ranked,
if not among the great men, certainly
among the curiosities of Richmond. Why
not interview him !! Why not visit him as
we do Castle Thunder or Belle Isle

THE CONNECTICUT CANVASS.

There is fun in the wooden nutmeg
state. Victoria Woodruff and Mrs. Isa-
bella Beecher Hooker are on the stump.
They sustain the Democratic candidates,
however. Hubbard and Atwatcr, candi-
dates for Governor and Lieutenant-Goyer-
nor on the Democratic ticket, are both in
favor of female suffrage. Senators Wilson
and Ferry opened the canvass OIL our side
last week. We shall have music from old
Connecticut from now till April LIST, and
then we will see who is fooled.

THE World fears that no help can be
depended upon fiom anti-Grant Republi-

not be dissolved! Tt adds, also, that if the
Republicans carry Connecticut the Cincin-
natl convention will not be worth pinch
of snuff. 1t is Disguised at the Hartford
Post (anti-GranD, which, instead of the
bugle blast of war, holds timid words :

bine with patriots, but not with poll

1t conjures the Liberal Republicans to

stitute themselves the masters Of the field

CARL sCHURz BEFORE THE COMMIT.

The testimony of General Schurz before
the investigating committee is of the most
triiling character. He admits that he never
applied to the war department for any ox-
plantations, and that he knows nothing him
self. The raid in the Senate was organized to
mislead the people and prevent the nomi-
nation of General Grant. It will only
strengthen him by showing to what straits
his enemies are driven in their warfare up
on his administration.

THE PRETENDED LABOR PERFORMERS

AhAhA L bSS kslN1LD LtLon KS,
The Chicago Tribune has come at last to
say what it ought to have seen at once,
that the labor party which nominated Judge
Davis is ''grand fraud" We are some
what familiar with the various phases of
the labor movement in this country, and
we imagine that politicians Of either party,
who expect to capture it by honied words
and cheap professions of interest in its
welfare, will fail. The elevation of the la
boring classes, and their relief from pres
ent disabilities under which they now
struggle, are social rather than political
questions. They are too high and sacred
to be thrown into the gambling pool of
partisan excitement. The true labor
reformers are too sternly in earnest to
to be diverted from their grand work OF
the organization of industry, by any pros
poets of transient political asccndancy.
Looking at practical facts, rather than
listening to high sounding professions and
abstract theories, they cannot fail to see
how the Republican Party has been always
the steadfast friend Of labor. Wherever it
has been in power it has established the
sacredness of the homestead, it has legis-
lated to increase the wages of American
artisans, and to save the public domain for
the people. 1t has overthrown slavery
which degraded toll and made it dishonor-
able, and it is marching steadily forward
to the fulfllment of its pledges to redeem
and ennoble labor everywhere.
