[Reported for The News and Herald.] On* Saturday night last, about eleven o'clock, the citizens in the viciuity of the Central Railroad depot were startled by the report of fire-arms, accompanied by the springing of watchmen's rattles. Upon repair ing to the spot our reporter found some police officers beating a man who was clutching a revolver, and who had to be very severely dealt with before he would re- leaso his hold of the weapon. It was soon learned that the person whom they were endeavoring to arrest had already shot and killed two men and was endeav oring to continue his bloody work. It appears that the offender., James Bartley, was a member of tho po- lico force, who was not on duty that night, and who had, after answering his name at roll call, in company with some others, scaled the walls of the barracks and started upon a spree. Bartley had had a quarrel of seme kind in the bar-room of Mr. Neville, at the cor ner of Liberty and West Broad street, and on getting into the street and persisting in being noisy and dis orderly, an officer threatened to arrest him, when he said he would shoot any one attempting it. The of ficer then sprang his rattle for help, and others arri ving on the ground they attempted to arrest him The desperado carried out his threat and fired three shots, each of which took effect—two of them fatally. It appears^from the evidence, which we give below, that the murderer deliberately aimed each shot at some one of the officers. The orly thing which saved officer Galloglay was his turning his head slightly, al lowing the ball to pass him, jnst grazing his neck. Alter Bartley was secured and a second pistol taken from him, officer Galloglay turned him over to two other policemen, and with the aid of some citizens arrested and sent to the Barracks several persons who were supposed to have some knowledge of the affair- physician a were .sent for, and one who was found stopped under a'j^as light to write out a prescription, but by the time it was written the wounded men were beyond the reach of medical aid. One of the deceased, Foley, lay on Liberty street, about twenty feet from where he was shot, and a gentleman who saw him fall says the man uttered an exclamation, fell oh his right sfde, then rolled over on his back and drawing up his limbs convulsively, al most immediately expired. When our reporter reached the spot, the crowd had almost forgotten him and as he lay directly in the foot-path and there was no light, people almost fell over his lifeless body as they came upon the scene. The other man, McNichols, lay nearly in tho same spot where he fell, and could have lived but few minutes after receiving the fatal bullet. The specta cle was truly shocking, and the excitement in the vicinity was intense. Some injudicious person went toMcNichol's home and informed his wife of his death and she was soon on the spot, and falling on tho body of her husband, with her piteous screams and wail ings made the scene still more appalling. Drs. Sherzer, Smith, Hams and Clift arriving on the spot, proceeded to examine the bodies and to see if their efforts would avail anything, but they found that life was already extinct. Coroner H, H. Eden arriving on the spot, took the bodies of the murdered men in charge, and instrueted Lt. Howard of the police force to have them removed to the Barracks, where he would hold an inquest on Sun day morning. THE CORONER'S INQUEST.

J Neville sworn—Jas. Bartley came into my bar-room with six as seven 'Irishmen; It was In the neighborhood of eleven o'clock Saturday night; he told me to give those mon drinks at his expense; see ing that they were under tlie influence of liquor, I gave them nothing but porter, soda and sarsaparilla, Bartley insisting on my giving him liquor, which I re fused; he drank twice of soda-water whilst in the bar room : the prisoner then stepped towards the door aqd commenced singing a song, the words of which were ••I’ll shoot,” which I never heard before; the smallest man of the party approached him and asked, ” Who lie was going to shoot? the mun was a small man and approached the prisoner in a threatening manner; Bartley told him not to crottd him (Bartley); and on approaching nearer Bartley exclaimed; “.Don’fogime any nearer or I’ll shoot;” he then jerked oui pistol, cooked it and presented it at the man; I don't It commenced I know the parties; I then got between Bartley and this, man, and succeeded in persuading Bartley that the man meant no harm, and to put up his pistol, which he did; he (Bartley) then turned .to gomtof the door, when I persuadod him to go to the bafacks and re port, telling him that it was eleven o’clock and he had to go on duty at twelve; the small man and another one went out after him; on hearing a renewal of tho difficulty, I went out to him and found him in the middle of the street, with his pistol again drawn and prepared to tire; I saw the pistol, suppose it one of those used on the force; I approached him and re quested him to put his pistol up, which he did after parleying; he then came on the sidewalk, when a policeman appaoached him and took him by the arm; this policeman was neither of the parties killed; con sidering him under arrest and the difficulty quashed, I went back into my bar-room to attend to three or four customers, directly after which the firpig com menced; I heard three distiuot shots; did not see the party shooting nor the party shot at. The prisoner was then brought in, when the witness identified him as the man who had the pistol. Crosi-ejMnXiiieQ—The prisoner was under the influ ence of liquor; I considered him frenzied from liquor; I don’t think thatauy of the party who came with him into the bar-room had any fire-arms. \ Tfiomas Carroll, sworn.—1 went into Mr. Neville’s barroom witfi the prisoner after 10 o’clock on Satur day night; Mr. Flood asked me to lake a drink; I did so, and soon afterward found them all going out in a hurry; 1 walked out to see what the matter was; I saw this man (the prisoner) standing on the sidewalk at the stoop, with a pistol in his hand; I said "that mail ought to be arrested, he will shoot somebody”; Me- Nichols, one of the deceased, came up at the time; he sprang his rattle and policeman Galloglay came to Ilia assistance; McNichols then went to srrest prisoner aud Galloglay then called on me to assist him in ma king the arrest; while Galloglay was trying to arrest him’, three shots were fired; 1 could not say who fired them; the prisoner had a pistol in his hand; saw Gal- loglay taking it away from him after he knocked him down; the prisoner resisted the officer; I thank with ran to the spot; found a crowd of people on the side walk ; they asked Galloglay to arrest the prisoner, who bad a pistol in his hand; Galloglay said he was not the arresting officer; that he came to assist; Thomas Carroll said McNichols was too mnch afraid to arrest the man; then MoNichols stepped forward and took hold of the prisoner, as did Galloglay; they tuaaelled for a few seconds, when the priaoner got loose from the crowd, and raised his pistol and flred at McNich ols; the deceased made one exclamation and fell; prisoner turned in the direction of where Foley stood and flred again; Foley remarked that he was shot, and staggered back into Liberty street; the prisoner then flred another shot in the direction of Galloglay; can’t toll who he aimed it at; Foley stood a little sideways, about five yards from Galloglay when the prisoner flred the second shot; prisoner then made a motion towards the crowd when Galloglay closed on him and threw him to the ground; prisoner made several at tempts to shoot Galloglay, when the officer had to strike him on the hand; McCarroU and myself ar rested Galloglay, when we got the pistol from him; Galloglay then left the prisoner in charge of myself and another officer; when ^ took him up from the sand officer Hartloe found another pistol iu the sand which dropped from the person of the prisoner; when taking prisoner to the barracks he said, “he wag dammed sonf* he had not shot the whole crowd.” [Witness identified the prisoner as the man who flred the shots.] Lieut. J. T. Howard, sworn.—Am 1st Lieutenant of Police; was on duty on .Saturday night; tho prisoner was brought in shortly after 11 o'clock; I asked prison er if he had shot the two men, McNichols and Foley; he said that he had, and wished he had shot more of the d d s s of b s; prisoner did not appear to be very drunk, spoke connectedly. Hr. Fish, sworn.—Made a post mortem, 'examina tion of the body of E. G. McNichols; find that he died from the efl'ecte of a gun-shot wound; the ball entered between the fourth aud filth ribs, one inch to the left of the mesial line, passing through the parietes of thorax, through the pericardium, then the right ven tricle of the heart, and passing through the pericar- cardium posterially, then cutting the descending aorta at the last dorsal vertabra, and rebounded from striking against the spine; the ball was found in tbe cavity of the abdomen. Dr. Sherzer, sworn—Made a post mortem examina tion of the body of James Foley; found a gun-shot wound; the ball entered the left side, between the fifth and sixth ribs, passing through the lower lobe of the left lung and pericardium, entering the left ventricle of the heart, and through the lower lobe of the right lung, fracturing the seventh rib of the right Bide, from which the ball rebounded. After a minute ex amination was unable to find the ball. Deceased died evidently from said wound. On Saturday night two police officers, Hope Farmer and Grai^ffle Bevell, were arrested near the spot and con£q£}£ftthe barracks. They had been with Bart ley up^fp within a short time of the murder, and the extra pistol found on the prisoner was proved to be long to belong to one of these men, who Btated that he had lost it or had it taken from him by some one. They had reported at the roll call at the barracks at six o’clock, and had afterwards- scaled the wall and gone oil' upon a frolic, little reckoning upon ita tragic termination. According to the evidence of themselves and others they had their pistols with them and wore masks on their faces a part of the time. Tho evidence of neither of these men threw any ad ditional light on the subject, and we refrain from pub lishing it. One or two other parties were examined, but theur testimony amounted to little, and after a brief sum ming up by Air. Philip M.

Bates. My home was a cot 'mid the forreat trees. Where the shadows were deep and long. Where the thick leaves danced to the piping breeze Like a green-robed festal throng. There the dark vifles clang, and the wild birds Swung, And the flowers bloomed meek and lair. And a clear stream fell in a rocky deU, And O, I waa happy there. But I went to the world, the siren world. And I left that cottage door; The summer lay deep, o’er path and ataep, The bird sang there as of yore ; But the tender spell from my spirit fell, Like a severed jewelled chain; I went to the world, the siren world, But I gathered only pain ! minutes the jury rendered a verdict that said E. G. McNichols and James Foley had severally came to their deaths from guuehot wounds inflicted by a pis tol at the hands of Geo. Granger, alias James Bartley alias Bartlett, and that the said Granger is guilty of murder. But little can be learned concerning the antecedents of the man Bartley or Granger which it appears is his real name. Chief of Police Anderson testified that he came to him with good testimonials, and stated ho was from Cass county, and had served in Lee’s army. Mr. Neville testified that the man had told him his proper name was George (Hanger, though ho had also knowrf lum by the name of James Bartley.' sucli such offimte hb lined Ins sum not exceeding His victims were both respectable citizens autT handled dollars ou conviction before the Po estimable men.

The writer of this notice has watched all the steps of their advancement, from their first appear ance in Charleston until their departure for tho North and Europe at the commencement of the war. They are brothers aud nativep of Charleston. Having man ifested decided talent for music, their father, an in telligent Pole, determined to afford their nascent ability all tho means of development that money and the best instruction could obtain in those departments of the art for which they separately evinced the greatest inclination. After they had received the most sedulous private instruction in Charleston, their father was induced to bring them before the public. They made their appearance in several concerts in that city where the writer has witnessed the mos . ^ not enthusiastic praises of them from discriminating StraUlbrs of "the divine art,” the elder as a violinist, and the younger as a piauist. They left New Yorlcas wo said, early in the.war for Europe. Arriving at Paris they were placed under the best masters among whonu qelebrated violinist Vieuxtempo. Sliej^ilR-wards viSted..va rious parts of Germany wheMWhey gave concerts with distinguished eclat. On the ret^n of peace they I had been too long in Nature's wild, Unused to the ways of art, I came to it now as a simple child. And it burned and seared my heart. I found in the bowera of velvet flowers, Tlie serpent lag qpllod to sting; I learned to my ruth, That love and truth Were only a hollow thing. So I turned from the vaiu, false world again. And to wash its stain away, I sought the shade of the forest glade, .- Where a child I used to play. I tried in the gleam of its dimpling stream,' To efface my spirit’s stain. And the bitter strife, of the feverish life, That will ne’er be mine again. But it clung to me still, as the plague spr* jyill, Even there, in that purer air. I wont to the cot—’twas a lonely spot, Yet, still it was fair, how fair. And beside the hearth, one patient smile, Was left from the wrecks of yore. My Mother was there, 'twas her tender prayer, That had lured me back once more. And never again for the siren world, Will I leave my wild-wood cot; For peace is there, in the wood-land air. That tlie ould world knoweth not. And so when I die, will my spirit fly. From the whispering forest shadb. And there, oh! thore ’tis my earnest prayer. That my last low bed be made.

The following is a summary of her advices: Iu the House of Commons the Irish Attorney Gen eral denied that the Lord Lieutenant had stated he ap prehended a Fenian invasion. Several land ownerg had applied for permission to arm and drill their tenantry, but the government refused its consent, feeling perfectly able to afford every protection. The Paris Patrie denies that the French government had consented to extend tbe period of the Extradition Treaty with England. Xn the Corps Legialatiff the amendment to the address in fsvor of sn extension of liberty had been strongly debated, some speakers demanding increased liberty for the public, the press and the Chamber. The amendment waa rejected, by 200 to C3. German journals continue to represent the relations of Austria and Prussia as very threatening. They even assert that Austria had ordered the assembly of a thousand troops on the Bohemian frontier, and that she had sent a circular note to tbe powers disclaiming all consequences- of any conflict which may arise. The London Times directs attention to the critical state of affairs. It says Bismark has thrown off his mask, aud the Duchies are to be annexed to Prussia. Preparations for war are progressing on both sides. On both capitals military councils are held, generals nominated and plans discussed. Tiic funds are depressed in various European mar- •y disquieting rumors. Spanish government has raised the state of • c::q n New Castile. Russian Ambassador had quitted Borne. and other substances into tbe Savannah rivqj.
