NEW YORK NOTES. 0 The Hull Murder Case-The Mur derer Weakening. The Testimony Against Dr. Hull-A Witness Who Plotted Against His Life. NEW YORK, June 26.-The steamer Bristol, i of the Fall River Line, arrived here at 9 a o'clock this morning, having on board the noted prisoner Chastine Cox, the confessed murderer of Mrs. Hull. He was in charge of Capt. Williams and Detective Seem. The officials predict that Cox will implicate some- a body else in the affair, and that he was hired Ii to do the job. Cox was smiling and not at all nervous when he landed. He looked fresh and was neatly dressed. The murderer, Cox, was taken to the police n, headquarters this forenoon; a large crowd gathered and there was much excitement. While going from the carriage to Sup't. 11 Walling s office Cox qualled for the first time tA and faltered, but was supported on each side d by the police. He rallied and in a few sec onds only a tremor of the lower lip and chin Indicated the dread he felt. By instructions from the superintendent, Cox was next taken B to the coroner's office, who ordered him to be t locked up at headquarters. He now occupies T a cell guarded by two officers. The Inquest v will be resumed to-morrow. Cox will be in- 0 dieted by the grand wury Friday. In rfter ence tothe suspicions of Dr Hull's connec- 01 tion with the murder of his wife, it is stated bi that there were several strong circumstantial el points against him, and he was under close v, surveillance by the police even as late as A Saturday last. It is known that there was a' k most infamous transaction in connection with F the case. The strongest point against him n was the confession of a worthless character who claimed to have met Dr. Hull in Reser voir Park and the latter offered to make it an object to him if he would put Mrs. Hull out of the way. It was intended to use this so called confession against the doctor. The superintendent refuses to give the name of the person who thus plotted to jeopardize Dr. Hull's life. It is not known what action will c be taken against him. THE TRIP TO NEW YORK. Cox and his custodians, while on the f steamer Bristol, occupied stateroom No. 2, t known as the bridal chamber. All the pas sengers were anxious to see the Hull mur derer and all sorts of expedients were resort ed to in order to get a glimpse of him. The prisoner disposed of a hearty supper with keen relish and enjoyed a cigar while reclin- o ing on the bridal couch. He chatted good a humoredly with the officers, denying that any one assisted him in the murder, and re iterating the statement that the entrance into the house was effected through the front t window. He said he entertained no hope of c escaping the gallows and was ready and will- c ing to die for the crime, although he had not IL intended to murder Mrs. Hull when he en tered the chamber. He slept from 1 o'clock until the boat reached the city. He then t I arose, arranged his toilet, and before leaving , the boat was served with a substantial break- ii fast. Miss Maggie Robinson, with whom Cox re sided for some time, said to a reporter to-day that while he had a room at her house he was an eminently proper man; he had no bad habits and never drank. The day after the I murder of Mrs. Hull one of the family, when a i reading an account of it, remarked that it I was a bad case. "Yes, a horrid murder," was f Cox's reply, and that was the only time she t ever heard him refer to it. His manner was natural; it was calm and collected, and be trayed no emotion. Miss Robinson said that t Cox bad always spoken of Mrs. Hull in the kindest manner. HOW co IS CONFINED. Chastine Cox, the murderer, who is at pres ent confined in a cell in the upper tier at the i police heaquarters, will be guardedall night by two detectives, one being in the celli with the prisoners, and the other keeping a guard outside. The reason why such extra ordinary precaution is being taken, is to pre vent any possible attempt at suicide. Superintendent Walling this evening gave I positive orders to the officers on guard.not to allow any one, under any circumstances, to see the prisoner. After the inquest to-mor row Cox will be taken to the Tombs and kept there until the trial. All the important wit nesses will be taken before the grand jury Friday, and the trial will in all probability commence early next week. ALL OF MRS. HULL'S JEWELRY RECOVERED. Every piece of jewelry stolen from Mrs. Hull on the night of her murder, except one plain gold ring, has been recovered from Cox, the murderer, the pawnbrokers to whom he d had pledged it, a mulatto girl in New York to whom he had given the topaz necklace and other jewelry, and a negro to whom she had given a rusty ring. The two persons last named are detained as witnesses. ?- DECLINE IN THE PRICE OF COAL OIL. An important feature in the local market Sfor crude petroleum, is the completion of the s Tide-water Pipe Line. This line delivers crude oil in New York in opposition to trunk lines, which since the absorption of the Empire Line, have had a monopoly in transportation. The immediate effect of this is shown in the price of crude oil in bulk which shows a rapid decline from fiye and a half cents per gallon to two and a quarter cents per gallon now. The trunk lines are forced to publish an open A DIAMOND SHARP. John Lynch, a diamond broker, has been ar i prested dand held in $4000 ond, on a charge of conspiring to obtain a loan of $5000 on a set of diamond jewelry, represented to be worth $10,000, but really valued at only $1500. BUSINESSB. Business has been light in nearly all de partments of trade, the attention of many buyers (both wholesale and retail) having been absorbed by peremptory auctions, which were commenced to-day, under very encour aging auspices. There was a continued and steady movement in staple goods on accoyntp of back orders, but new transactions were al most wholly of a hand-to-mouth character, as is always the case when jobbers are on the eve of stock-taking. THE CASE OF MBS. JENNIE SMITH. Application will be made to-morrow morn ing to Cnancellor Runyon, of New Jersey, for a new writ of error to the Supreme Court for Mrs. J. R. Smith and Cove Bennett.

A.Tax Dodge. t PrrrsBonG, June 25.-A terrible fight oc curred here last night between two negroes, Charles Richards and Charles Green. Rich- t ards, until yesterday, lived on Leed street, ' but a constable having levied on his goods for taxes, he concluded to avoid the sale of his effects by moving yesterday. He accom plished this purpose with the assistance of t - Green. Last night when Green demanded pay for his services a fight ensued.

Policy of the Radicals on the Bill Re pealing the Test Oath. Eads Refuses a Position on the Mississippi River Commission. [BSecial to the Democrat.] WASHgqaTON, June 25.-The joint caucus to-day adopted the programme drafted by Thurman's committee. There was consider able debate, in which the stalwart Democrats expressed their views without the least re straint, but there were very few dissenting votes when the question was put, and finally the decision was made unanimous. The Radicals are divided on the question of opposing that part of the new bill which con tains the repeal of the test oath, and the prob ability is that only a few of them will make their opposition openly on the floor of the House or the Senate. It is reported here that Eads has notified our delegation that he will not serve on the Mississippi River Commission. A. C. B. THE DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS. Pr The joint caucus of the Senate and House ] Democrats met shortly after 8 o'clock and re- col mained in session until 6 o'clock. Before be* tr4 ing called to order every avenue of approach th was guarded for fear that some one might no hear .what was doing said and done. Every 1 corridor about the hail was strictly guarded, aI and no one was permitted to walk through. tel There was no hesitation in saying, however, he afterward, that the caucus had adopted the 1 report of the advisory committee agreed to te4 this morning, th This was that the vetoed judicial bill te4 should be divided in two parts the first being cu all that part to which the President didn't object. This will include the repeal of the cs test oath law. na The other will contain an appropriation of Se $600,000 for United States marshals, coupled ml with a provision that none of the money pr therein aplropriated shall be applied to the th payment of deputy marshals, or to any other thl purpose than that specified, under the heavy wI penalty of a fine of $5000 and imprisonment. fli The penal clause was suggested by Senator th Beck. ot It is believed that the first bill will be signed, but that the latter will be vetoed. tri There was a good deal of discussion, and it Ti is admitted that the caucus was not very th harmonious. th Mr. Kernan presented the reportof the ad visory committee and supported it in a ra speech, in which he urged the necessity for an passing all the appropriation bills, t Mr. Waddel, of Missouri, offered the vetoed bill and urged its passage again as a proper action for the Democrats to take under the circumstances. There was a strong element in favor of Waddell's proposition, but in the C end it was rejected. Mr. Blackburn spoke in favor of immediate adjournment without voting another do1$ r of apt5iropriatio. A number of stalwart Democrats absented S4 themselves from the caucus, so as not to be A in any way bound by its decision. bl There were only about seventy members of tl the House present and about twenty-five Ben- ax ators. The report of the advisory committee was lu adopted by a majority of only five Repre- re sentatives. Six Senators voted against tt. Among those wno spoke most earnestly b against it were Speaker Randall and Senator Wallace. Some of the members say to-night be that they will not be bound by the caucus a action, but will make another effort to send the vetoed bill back to'the President. After ol having slept on it, however they will be like- rt to changa their views, and will, no doubt, a vote as a unit. A 3 The bills, at least one of them, will prob- si f ably be reported tothe House to-morrow, and o0 may be passed t, an immediate vote under the operation of the previous question. P' The opinion among the Democrats as to ei · the date of final adjournment is very much w divided. Mr. Mills, secretary of the caucus, said to night that there would be at least ten days P more of the session. The President, he said, a would certainly veto the marshals' bill. cl Although he might not call a new session on t that account, he thought considerable delay would thereby be engendered. Other members and Senators believe that v there will be a final closing of the session by Saturday night, or Monday at the farthest. Others, again, shrug their shoulders when asked about it, and reply that no living man it can tell when. C Altogether the situation is very much S mixed. a THE TRADE DOLLAR BILL. a, The Senate Finance Committee will again consider the House trade dollar bill to-mor- h row morning. The friends of the measure on a s the committee say that Bayard is raising the h same tactics to prevent any action on this h bill that he did on the Warner bill. It is evi- d dent that there is considerable feeling exist- i ing between the opponents and friends of these bills. The latter particularly are out- v spoken in their condemnation of what they e term the unwarranted position assumed by the chairman of the committee and those in t accord with him. It is very doubtful if any s thing will be done with the trade dollar bill t e at this session. a CONGRESS. The Record of Corruption of the Republican Party. r * SENATE. t WASHINGTON, June 25.--Senator Thurman, President pro tem., being detained at home 1 by illness, left a note designating Mr. Eaton ,e as Vice President for to-day. 'e The Chair laid before the Senate a commu- I d nication from the Secretary of the Treasury, t l1 transmitting all information in the posses r- sion of the department in regard to the action is of the National Board of Health as to a refrig Serating ship for disinfecting purposes. Re ferred to the Yellow Fever Committee. Mr. Vest introduced a joint resolution de Le claring the free coinage of silver to be de- I 1- manded alike by patriotism and statesman -- ship. Laid on the table. is Mr. Burnside introduced a resolution de- 1 3f claring the Monroe doctrine the policy of this i; country, and that the construction of a canal 1 id across the Isthmus of Darien by any foreign power would be in violation of that doctrine and a menace to the supremacy of the United States. Laid on the table. Mr. Beck called up his resolution, offered yesterday, asking for a joint committee con of saisting of five Senators and seven Bepre )n sentatives to examine and report at the next Ssession what changes should be made in the i I l mode of collecting revenue with a view to economy; the commission to sit during recess and be armed with the usual powers of com- 1 misesions. Referred to the Finance Conm or mittee. ly Joint resolution No. 39, in relation to the l. extra pay o the House and Senate employee, e was taken up. Mr,. Beck ofered two amendmenti-the i first, reciting sections of the Revised Stat utes, prohibiting a diversion of any public moneys to a purpose different from that for which they were specifically intended, and preseribing severe penalties for any violation thereof. The second prohibits any officer of the United States government from contrib uting moneys or salary, or for making contri butions upon his subordinates, or of allowing it to be done for the purpose of assisting in coming elections, under penalty of fine and imprisonment and disqualification for office holding for ever. These several amendments were ordered printed and laid on the table. Mr. Windom arose and spoke generally on the political situation. He reviewed the atti tude of the two parties just before the war, and afterward. The policy of the Democratic party had brought on the war, and after ward nearly paralyzed the patriotic efforts of the North. He understood the financial con dition of 1860 and 1879. In the former year, our credit was poor and loans difficult to ne- 3 gotiate at 12 per cent. Now, foreign nations I beg to invest in our securities at 4 per cent. t Mr. Windom presented a good many statis ties calculated to show an increase in the I trade and proser of the country since 1860. - All this, he olalmewas the result of the Re- B publican policy. Mr. Saulsbury replied by calling atten tion to the other results of Republi can rule. There were hundreds of thou sands of graves dotting the green hill- a sides of the land; there were business dis- E asters everywhere-farms covered with mort- I gages, men out of employment, and an enor mous public debt. The revenues of the coun try had been collected at a ruinous cost and I misaspropriated with prodgality. The Sen ator from Minnesota (Windom) has claimed his party to be the special protector of for eigners. The people would not be such fools L as to believe such stuff. Mr. Windom said that the Senator had charged the Republican officials with steal ing millions of dollars. He would ask for proof. It had been found by a Democratic committee that not a dollar had been stolen. Mr. Davis of West Virginia, said that his committee to examine the accounts of the treasury had found facts which would answer the challenge, but he could not speak of them now. Mr. Allison said that so long as he had been a member of that committee not a .particle of tertimony had been taken reflecting upon the honesty of the treasury officials. Mr. Ingalls, also a member of the commit tee, reiterated Mr. Allison's statement. He thought Mr. Davis's charge that damaging testimony had been obtained unjust and cal culated to do injustice to the department. Mr. Saulsbury said that he could mention cases enough, but he did not wish to give names. There was the San Domingo job, the Sanborn job, the whisky rings, and the dis missal of ex-Senator Henderson, who was prosecuting the whisky thieves. .ecretary of the Treasury Bristow had been dismissed for the same leasons. He alluded to Belknap, who had been defended by a Senator on this floor (Mr. Carpenter). He also mentioned r the Credit Mobilier, and the fact that the Re publican statesmen had been implicated in it. There were naval frauds in Grant's adminis tration, and the Freedmen's Bank steal, There were the poet traderships, and finally the frauds by which the present incumbent of the chief executive office was seated. The debate continued, taking a very wide range consisting mainly of charges of fraud and dishonesty against the two political par ties, each by the other. At 3:26 the Senate adjourned. HOUSE. Mr. Scales, of North Carolina, from the Committee on Indian Affairs, reported back the bill to give all religious denominations equal privileges among the Indian tribes. oestponed for consideration in January next. A resolution was passed authorizing the Secretary of War to donate to the Grand Army of the Republic at New Orleans certain blocks of granite, now lying on the coast of the Gulf of Mexico, for monumental pur- st poses. On motion of Mr. Upton, of Texas, a reso- tb lution was adopted calling upon Gen. Ord to re report, through the Secretary of War, the ti' number of massacres and other depredations t by the Mexicans or others on the border since January 1, 1878 and also to report the num ber and class a troQps under his command, a and where they are stationed etc. ti The House then, as the unfinished business of yesterday, resumed consideration of the bill relating to vessels not propelled wholly by dl sail or an internal motive power of their own. A vote ordering the main question was recon- f sidered, in order that amendments might be r offered. The bill relieves such vessels from the payment of any fee or charge for license and enrollement, whether navigating in internal waters of the State or navigable waters of the T United States, and not engaged in trade with contiguous foreign countries. Without dis posing of the bill the House at 2:50 adjourned, and it was announced that a joint Demo- E cratic caucus would be held at once. C SPORTING 1EWS. The O'Leary-Orossland Walking Match.

LONDoN, June 25.-The apprehensions re specting the condition of the Empress Etge nie, which were mentioned in these dispatches yesterday, have become still more grave. Late reports from Chiselhurst give cause for the well grounded fear that her Majesty will not recover. She has been unable to obtain any sleep, save that induced by an opiate, since the news of the Prince's death, and she is losing strength because of sleeplessness and grier. ter mind wanders, and she talks irra tionally at times, failing to recognize those around her, and unless some favorable change soon takes place her death appears almost inevitable.

A large assemblage of rather disorderly persons had congregated around the entrance to the cir cus, and as the Imperialists who had gath ered there had begun to come out they were met with loud cries of "Hurrah for the Zulus e" "Down with the Empire!" etc. The Imperi alist partisans, irritated by these exclama tions, made a quick onslaught on the brawlers and a lively street fight ensued, which the police had some difficulty in quelling.
