Judge Humphreys then read the following -en fence: I shall take occasion, in exercising the discre tion vested by law in w, in fixing (tie term of imprisonment, to make some observations which occur to my mind as U. tug |>ertiiient t j the oc casion. 1 b?* act of the Congress of the United States attaches and annexes and define* the punish ment of a conviction of manslaughter to be im I rbonaett. ith lal-or, in the penitentiary for a period of i.ot less tl an two nor more thaii eight years, tor the first offence; for the second, con viction not le.-s than six nor more than fifteen years. 1 he jury, by their verdict, have determined that you acted unlawfully?though without malice?in shooting Jaa'ic* a'the time vou did. They have also determined by their veriiict that you hail iome cause to (Jo the deed, though pet sufficient to exense you to the extent to au thorize them to declare you not guilty. 1 here were two facts proved on the trial just ending In conviction of manslaughter tlmt im pressed me, and which I trust will recommend ve>n to the favorable consideration of the author ities at Albany: The one was your readv submis sion to the officers who arrested you; the other your own adjustmt nt of the chains which were put cron your ankUs. The evidence' of the otli cer who arrested jou, and to whom you j ielded a ready submission, was that alter yon had been handcuffed some one struck at, and, he thought, hit \ou in the lace. The evidence on the trial was that on two oc casions, at two separate rencounters, you had bet n set upon, and in the first assault made upon von. you were held by one man while the other d? alt you in the face six or seven severe blows, which, according to the evidence of medical men, bruised your face, mashed your nose, and disfigured your appear ance to snch extent that your acquaint ances could scarcely have recognized vou. Tfc's was ;evere treatment, tew severe to be quietly sul mitted to, and so the jurv have de termined. anil you shall have the benefit of that evidence in the term of imprisonment. But the jury determined on the point subm.tted on the evidence, that at the time you shot?being some half honr or more irorn "the time of the f rst beating, that there was not danger to your life nor body: nor was there reasonaole ground for yon to apprehend such, and that therefore you could not be excusable to the extent of "not guilty. I am induced to think that this determination ot the jury?on the evidence as given the n?was correct. Though it is not to be denied that there are some hard things about your ease to be borne. The old English common law wa? and now is, that if one jierson pulls the nose of another, and the one w hose nose Is pnMed strikes of a sudden and kills, this is but manslaughter. This is an indignant provocation which our Saxon ances tors did not require to be submitted to or exi>cct to be borne with patience. The law, though, did not limit the killing to manslaughter If there was time intervening bet ween the indignity and the slaying for the sud within the strict letter of the law. I cjn't think that a man who would submit to batterys?when lie hail given no provoca tion lor them? is a man to disturb the public or individual peace. Unless the evidence had shown that this was done for the purpose of having an excuse to kill?but the evidence, even of the government, negatived anv such idea or presumption?and the verdict of a'jury?selected under all the imjKisiiig solemnities of the law men having a deep interest in the peace ot tiio government auu t*?e safety of society?deter mined these facts. Vou will be confined to labor in the peniten tiary at Albany, in the State of Sew \ork. for two years from this date-?that being the place designated by the Secretary of the Interior?' rndtr the provisions of the act ot Congrem, for the confinement of persons convicted for of ferees fxmishable by imprL-onment in a peni tentiary. You have had a hard contest and a close race tor your life, and your ant agonist lost his. This should be a warning to all others in thiicommu nity neither to begin nor to continue a quarrel. The judgment and sentence which 1 render is according to the law* of men, and human tri bunals. Beyond these municipal rules I dare not judge. Vou, as well as I, have another judsje to appear betore. His commandment has been of long standing. "Thou shall not kill." The man who takes his brother's life, even in self-defence, is to l>e pitied and commisecrated. He who pro vokes his lellow to slay him is to be judged by One wiser than men. If the people of this community would listen to the kind admonition of those whose duty it is to preside over tTials for erlm?s. we will all urge to cease the bitter wonls that provoke to ang.-r, and the olows that will be returned though life may be taken. There is more moral courage in retiring trom a physical contest than continuing The prisoner listened attentively to the re marks of the Judge, and appeared to be highly (?leased at getting off with such a light sentence. His mother, with Miss Stoddart and Mrs. Bar rett, sat near him in the court room, and after Judge Humphreys had thanked the spectators for their orderly behavior during the two trials which had lately engrossed the attention of :he court. Bolster was removed to jail. ABKAXGZXKSTS ?OK B< >AT K ACES TltI8 Mokth?The Arlington and Analostan l?oat clubs have made an-angemcnts for a two days' regatta thi* mouth.

HOI'SK OF DELEGATES,?The H.>u*e ?Hiurilay afternoon procee'led to the considera *ion ot the Chit-ago relief bill, and Mr. Moore moved amendments authorizing the flovernor to anticipate the revenue to accrne from taxes the present year to the amount of one hundred thousand dollars by negotiating a loan or loans, to be repaid in four and six month*, out of the imouiing revenue of the government, with in terest at a rate not exceeding seven per centum per *nrut. He urged that if bond* were issued the money could not be realized immediately, and the debt would be hanging over them live years. The amendment was rejected-yeas. Mews. Harkness. Lloyd and Moore?navs 13. Mr. Lloyd called tor the reading of the l?th section ot the organic act, and can tended that the plan ?obmitted bv Mr. Moore was the onlv by which the appropriation could be made with out violating that section. Mr. Casein answered that when thev gave money to a?*.-i suffering humanity thev did not lend their cridit, and although they conld not issue bond* tor the city of Chi-ago'thev oou'd give money even if they were obliged to raise it by issuing bonds. utid he was sincere in his desire to am the people of Chicago, but differed from his friends as to the mode of raising the money. Mr. a.-?in argued that Mr. had taken the i wrong view ot the matter, and said if the bill passed every dollar of the loan would be taken litre. Mr Moore denied that snch was the ease, and urged that by the issne of bonds the credit of the district would be impaired, and that the reliet would be more speedy by anticipating the revenue for a few months. Mr. Enni* said that this discussion would do mileJ? ta detract from the merits of the gift. 1 he bill had been.rflhmitted to some of the be-t legal mind* in the District and it had m->t their approval, and he felt it his duty to follow their views rather than the objections of the gentle man from the Fifteenth district. ii that the organic act fixed a I n"t I- von.) which the District could not extend its debt.
