SUMMARY OF YESTERDAYS PROCEEDINGS.
| NEW YORK, October 29th.-The proceed
| ings to-day in the examination of Philip for
the forgery of the Morey letter were con-
elusive. Hart, owner f The Truth, under
threat of imprisonment, produced the en-
! velope in which the letter is alleged to have
| been contained 1t was then shown by the
prosecution that the envelope has on it not
| only the stamp of the Washington Post lffice
| but also two stamps OF the New York
| Postofice--in all, three stamps. The
dates are, however, erased, and cannot be
| distinguished. It is impossible to distinguish
on any of them the month, and the insertion
of "Jany 23n in the photo-lithographic copy
in The Truth is an admitted Interpolation.
Moreover. it appears that the envel-
ope was originally addressed to some
other person and place, and the word
ESQ" can still be discovered on line above
the word Morey." It was shown by the
Assistant Postmaster in the New York Post
Office, by James Taylor, Superintendent OF
the city delivery. and by MIR. Richards,
ment, that the New York stamp on
the envelope is placed upon all
letters received here intended for delivery to
persons in New York city, and that such
stamp is never placed upon letters merely
passing through this city that the second
| New York stamp is that which is placed upon
letters received at sub station in this
city from the general Postoffice for delivery
in the district of the sub-station. In other
words, it is made absolutely certain, from
the stamps, that the envelope, when it passed
through the mail, was posted at Washington
and addressed to some one in New York city.
| Moreover, it was proved by the Assistant
Postmaster and head clerks of the railway
mail service that letter posted in Washing
| ton on the day it purports to have been
posted and addressed TO Lynn, could not,
under any circumstances, come into
the New York Postoffife, much less
have on it the stamp of that
Postoffice. Besides this, it was shown by
the New York stamps, in one of which the
| figure remains that the figure was the last
one of the figures, showing on what day the
envelope was received in New York, and that
it must have been received either on the
| 18th or the 22d of some undiscoyerable
month. 1t could not, therefore. when it was
in the mail, have contained the Morey letter,
which is dated January sd. It is therefore
absolutely shown, by witnesses who cannot
| be contradicted, and whom the de-
tense did not even cross-examine.
that the Mercy letter, having been
|
old envelope addressed to some one in New
York city, and not to Morey, nor to any one
else in Lynn. The erasure OF the name of
the person to whom it was originally ad.
dressed is distinctly visible to the naked
! eye, and Immediately precedes the still de-
| cipherable word 6 Esq" The erasures of the
dates are equally plain. Moreover, it was
testified by Mr.. Leet, under whom Philip
worked for a long time, that it was his
4 I,L..L a-.no'}
companys," precisely as it is spelled
in the Morey letter. Leet also testified that
the Morey letter was also in Philips writing
that he (Leet) so stated before he had heard
it suggested that Philip was even suspected.
JUDGE BLACK AND GARFIELD.
| CLEVELAND, October 29th.-Garfeld has
now in his possession a letter from Judge
LACK, in which he substantially pledges him
self to Garfield as against Hancock. Gov
ernor Foster, when at Garheld's house last
Sunday, having heard of the letter, tried to
obtain possession of it, but Garfield declined
to give it up, or even to let him see it, stat
ing that he could not in honor do anything
that would tend to make it public, as it was
intended for his private eye alone.

THE SITUATION IN NEW YORK.
NEW YORK, October 29th.-George Will
lam Curtis, giving the reasons for his conyic-
ton that the Republicans will carry this
State on Tuesdays election, says: Every
reason which gave Tilden his majority has
disappeared. Instead of a universal prostra-
ton to which any change was welcome, there
is universal prosperity. Instead of the hope
of '' reform from the Democratic party, the
