Be Supports Mr. Dillon’s Criticisms on the Restrictions of the Leaseholder’s Clause— The Bankruptcy Clause De clared One of the Measure’s Worst Features— Baron Ashbourne Starts the Debate in the House of Lords. London, July 14. —The Unionists will abstain from voting on the bankruptcy clauses of the land bill if they are not aban doned. In the face of the threatened pro longed opposition to the bill many of the Conservatives are urging the government to be content to pass the lease holders’ clause and to leave the remainder of the new bill over till the next session. DEBATING ON THE LAND BILL, in the House of Commons this evening Lord Randolph Churchill, the de bate on the land bill, objected to Mr. Ban- Derman’s amendment (that the bill be re jected) only as raising a false issue. There was a general agreement, he said, on the point that the bill was absolutely necessary to afford relief to the Irish tenantry. It was a great mistake to impute want of good faith to the government in the proposes of the bill. The government had been forced to offer a temporary land measure before the session closed, for no more odious duty could devolve upon the Irish government than to administer the crimes act unaccom panied by a measurse which would satisfy the tenantry. [Cribs of hear, hear.] DILLON SUPPORTED. Proceeding to examine the clauses of the bill, he supported Mr. Dillon’s criticisms on the restrictions of the leaseholder’s clause, which lie hoped the government would amend. He did not see that the tenantry would derive any benefit from the clause dealing with evictions. [Parnellite cheers.] He would fear to entrust Irish agents, ad visers of landlords, with the powers con ferred upon them under that clause. [Cries of “Oh” from the Conservative benches and cheers.] What would have been the state of Ireland if this clause had been in opera tion last winter? APPALLING TO CONTEMPLATE. He did not doubt that from one-quarter to one-half of the tenantry would have been •victed, and the result would have been a state of tumult and disorder appalling to contemplate. [Cheers.] It was not within the limit of physical possibilities to deal with the clause this session. The bill must be lightened by throwing it over. The bankruptcy clauses were equally objection able. inasmuch as they would tend to lower the moral tone of the tenantry, besides pro ducing an immeasurable mass of litigation. [Cheers from the Irish benches.] The gov ernment, in view of the large number of tenants who it was expected would be forced into bankruptcy, seemed to be trying to build up a system of national credit on a widespread foundation of national insol vency. If the government, with the Irish members, would agree to deal with arrears and division of judicial rents instead of the bankruptcy clause, the bill would be de prived of its worst features and would be come acceptable to the country. [Cheers.] SIR HARCOURT REPLIES. Sir William Vernon Hareourt congratu lated Lord Randolph on his clear exposition of the defects of the bill. If Lord Randolph’s speech led to anew development of the bill the House would have no difficulty in pass ing it, Lord Randolph had performed a capital operation under chloroform upon the measure, transforming its nature and leaving a mere skeleton of the bill. If the government assented the House would now try to put some decent clothing on the skeleton. Lot the government throw over board the clause that both the Tories and Literals opposed and the bill going without delay to committee would find an easy pass age. GOSHEN DEFENDS THE BILL. Mr. Goshen, Chancellor of the Exchequer, (Waking in behulf of the government said tout while they would not attempt to dis guise the difficulty oi their task they must refuse to buy a single vote by making any concession against their convic tions. Dwelling on tlie temporary character "f the bill lie said the government would do their best to meet the views of the gentle men on the other side with rognrd to the lease-holders’ clause, but he boldly defended tlie eviction clause. He could only understand the opposition to that c*ause on the supposition that it was deemed advisable to keep) up the evic noii agitation with a view of influencing puhlie opinion. Tlie government was not prepared to drop the clause, believing that Ule s, oiipuge of evictions would take away halt the stock in trodo of r , Irish agitators. He defended the Bankruptcy clauses, and denied “ Randolph Churchill’s assertion that iue government was trying to found a sys eni nf national credit. He opposed the I, **"r a revision of rents, advised by the j-ow per commission as fatal to the coming muci |iiirelm.se measure. PARNELL TO THE ATTACK. Mr. Parnell upon rising was loudly peered. He said he thought Mr. Goschen a* looking rather to enhanced value of p "Pvi'ty under his future land purchase 1 than to the interest of Irish tenants, tin B° v, 'nimeut proposed to abolish evic rm.m *'y executing them under Auer name with tlie object .

Lord Chancellor of Ire hill ’ ," v<xl l "**nd reading of the crimes Hie KiM 1 ni *hi“g the motion he described ,Ui u meusuro that was intended to fElje illorning Xrtus. counteract the criminal demoralizing sya tom of intimidation now ivigiiing in Ire land, a system that coerced loyal iieople and interfered with every relation of life, Neither sex, nor age was spared from this odious, ferocious cowardly tyranny. It was slander upon trades unions to compare them with the National League i and it was absolutely startling to bear Mr Gladstone cloak the abominable system of boycotting under the euphemism of “exclusive deal ing.” NO LIBERTY IN IRELAND. The bill was called a coercion bill, but what- liberty existeddn a country where a man was not allowed to build a house or supply goods to his neighbors without ex posing himself to outrage and murder? \\ here people could not buy, sell, employ or be employed without being subjected to tho direst tyranny? In submitting a measure that was necessary for the protection of honest subjects the ministers had a right to rely on the loyal co-operation of the oppo sition. [Cries of “Hear I" Hear I”] A weak bill would be worthless, and this measure, while strong enough to be a terror to evil doers, would not jeopardize the liberty of a single innocent man. [Cheers.] Earl Granville said he would not deny that the government, finding itself unable to maintain law and order by the existing machinery, had a right to apply to Parlia ment for further powers; but when re strictions were proposed suspending com mon personal rights, the clearest proof was required to justify an exceptional" law. ERIN’S PRESENT CONDITION. The state of Ireland was as peaceable now as it was in 1885, when the ordinary law was found to be sufficient. Everybody knew that the real aim of the bill was" to suppress combinations that interfered with the policy of the government and to brand them us illegal. It was the undoubted right of every man to deal with his neighbors or not as he liked. The measure was of a deplorable and dangerous character and would cer tainly lead to grave evils in Ireland. Tlie opposition having done its utmost to resist tne passage of the bill must leave upon the government the responsibility for the re sults. The Duke of Argyll, Lord Carnarvon and others spoke, and the bill was then read the second time. The measure will be discussed in committee to-morrow. TYNDALL’S DISCOVERY. Prof. Tyndall, in a communication pub lished to-day, says that he has received numerous letters from all parts of America on the Irish homo rule question, and they all recommend the utmost resistance to Mr. Gladstone's policy. “Inasmuch.” says Mr. Tyndall, “as a desperate gamester, miscalled statesman, has chosen to invoke ignorant foreign opinion against the instructed opinion of his own countrymen, it is worth showing that American opinion is not en tirely on his side.” TREVELYAN’S ELECTION ADDRESS. Mr. Trevelyan has issued an election ad dress to the electors of the Brighton division of Glasgow which he is contesting in the Liberal interest. He says: “From the first I disapproved of the Liberals supporting the Conservatives against the Liberals. No word of mine can be quoted in which I favored this course, trie adoption of which proves to every unprejudiced man the policy of the dissi dents’ aims not at a settlement of the Irish question by amending the bills presented in 1888, but at the suppression of the Liberal party I cannot partake of that policy. The dissident leaders have not accepted Mr. Gladstone’s offers and refuse to lie recon ciled to the Liberal party, pronouncing to give tljpir support to the Conservatives.” LESS CRIME IN KERRY. Dublin, July 14.—Justice O’Brien in his address to the grand jury of county Kerry to-day admitted that there was a decrease of crime ill the county. He said he could not, however, congratulate the people on the fact, the cause of it being the complete subjugation of the peaceable members of the community to a lawless organization which was now allowing tho well disposed a little repose from violence. PARIS ESCAPES A RIOT. The People Cheer for Boulanger, But Preserve the Peace. Paris, July 14.—The fall of the Bastile was celebrated in this city to-day without demonstrations of a serious nature. A demonstration was made at the statue of Strasburg this morning, but it was entirely of a peaceful nature. The members of the Patriotic League and of other associations, with banners and trumpeters, marched past the statue and deposited upon it colossal memorial crowns. As this was done there were a few cries from the procession of “Vive la France!” “Vive la republlque!” and “Vive la Boulanger!” but there were no attempts at disorder. President Grevy, accompanied by all the members of the ministery, left the palace of the Ely sees at 3:30 o’clock this afternoon to attend the review of troops. An escort of cuirassiers preceded and followed the Pres ident’s carriage. The people along the route greeted the President with cries of “Vive Grevy.” A FEW HOSTILE CRIES. President Grevy and his Ministry were also greeted with some isolated cries of “Vive Boulanger” and “Resign,” and a few hisses on their arrival at Long Champs to witness the review, but the cries of “Vive la Republlque” dominated and tho people seemed generally disposed to be friendly. The review of the troops passed off without incident. It was witnessed by an immense, but orderly crowd, which cheered the troops heartily. The march past ls*gan at 4:80 o’clock and was finished at 5:50. The Presi dent and his Cabinet then returned to Paris. The populace this evening is calm nnd all fears of disorder have vanished. ROCHEFORT CRIED DOWN. Ilenri Rochefort, Deputies Laisant and Languerro, and a number of other irreeon cilables, attempted to excite a hostile de monstration (luring the review at iiOng ehuraps to-day, but tho people around quickly drowned out their voices with cries of “Vive Grevy!” Presi dent Grew hus addressed a letter to Gou. Perron, Minister of War, in which he says: “The review was magnificent. I admired the martial 1 .earing and perCeet precision of the troops. Convey them my hearty congrat ulations." .... . At a late hour tonight the streets pre sented an animated npi>earniice, but noth ing worthy of note occurred. Gen. Boulanger has sprained his foot, and was unable to lie present at the review at Clermont Ferrand to-day. The fete was celebrated throughout Franco without (Jls on lor. GOTHAM’S FRENCHMEN. New York, July 14.—The French socie ties of this city to-dav celebrated the Call of the Bastile by a parade and exercise* in one of tho up-town parks. Fifteen societies wero represented in tho parade, which jmsstsi threugh some of the (town town streets to the French consulate. A!suit 1,500 men were in line, and they were reviewed by the French Consul. They then went to Harlem River Park to spend the remainder of the day. Mansawah’s Explosion. ROME, July 14.- Detail* of the explosion of the powder magazine at Massawah on July 11 show that ten Italian soldier* were killed and seventy injured, and that camp prcqieity worth SBOO,OOO w m destroyed. SAVANNAH, GA., FRIDAY, JULY 15, 1887. PRESIDENT AND PASTOR. CLEVELAND THE GUEST OF HIS CLERICAL BROTHER. One of Mrs. Cleveland’s Eyes Painfully Inflamed as the Result of a Sting or a Blind Boil—The Travelers Enjoying Much Needed Rest in Their Quiet Retreat. Utica, N. Y., July 14.—President and Mrs. Cleveland left for Forest Port at 0:15 o'clock this morning. Their special train consisted of a boudoir car and locomotive, and was occupied only by Mr. and Mrs. Cleveland, the latter’s maid, Supt. Ham mond and Conductor Daniels. They were accompanied to the depot by Senator Ker nan and his son. Mrs. Cleveland’s eye is very much inflamed and pains her exceed ingly. Dr. Beith, of this city, was called and pronounced it either a blind boil or tlie sting of an insect. CROWDS AT THE STATIONS. The journey to Alder Creek was without other incident than the appearance of groups of people at the various stations as the train passed. A request from Reming ton that the people might huvo an opportu nity to see the President was referred to him by Assistant (Superintendent Hammond, who was in charge of the special, and the wish was answered by the train running slowly through the village, where the con course gave a pleasant greeting to the dis tinguished travelers, who were once more upon their platform. On the arrival of tho train at Alder Creek there was a respectful gathering of people. MET BY HIS BROTHER. The travelers were met by Rev. Mr. Cleveland and his wife and escorted in a carriage to their residence, about two miles east from Aldon creek, on tjje odge of the village of Forest Port. It is a pretty, new cottage, built two years ago under the supervision of Rev. Mr. Cleveland, who is pastor of the Presbyterian mission flocks at Forest Port and White Lake Corners. The mistress of this neat country home has been a warmly welcomed visitor at the White House, and this, with the brotherly affection between the President and pastor argues that the restful visit of tho President and his wife during the ensuing two or three days will be one of great enjoyment. THE MEETING AT THE DEPOT. Forest Port, N. Y., July 14.—The Presi dential party was greeted; at the depot by Dr. A. G. Brower and Rev. and Mrs. Cleve land, and was driven rapidly from Aldon Creek Station over three milt's of sandy road to this village. Arrived at Rev. Cleveland’s place, the guests at once proceeded to rest, of which the fatiguing labors of the past few days had put them so much in need. The village contains but 300 or 400 inhabit ants, mostly engaged in the lumbering and tanuing industry, and there was no crowd on hand to welcome thedistinguislied guests. THE ONLY DECORATIONS. The only attempt at decoration was made at Alder Creek, wuore a large flag and Cleve land and Hendricks campaign banner were flung to the breeze. The President took special interest in the latter. Later in the dav Com missioner Kernan and Postmaster Water bury called and arranged for a public re ception to be held at the parsonage to-mor row between the hours or 7:30 and 0 o’clock at night. Rev. Mr. Cleveland and his wife were warmly in favor of the reception. THE BROTHER’S POPULARITY. Rev. Mr. Cleveland has been the pastor of the Presbyterian church hore for eight years, and is very popular. At 5 o’clock this afternoon Postmaster Waterbury took the President, Mrs. Cleveland and the President's sister-in-law for an hour's drive. Mrs. Cleveland, who had already made her self a general favorite with the rs-ople, won many new friends during the drive by re sjionding to the slightest evidence of recog nition. THE PRESIDENT’S PROGRAMME. The programme of the President's move ments after to-morrow may bo outlined as follows: Saturday morning, in company with Secretary and Mi's. Fail-child, tlie party will make an excursion to the Thou sand Islands, leaving here about 3 o’clock. They will go via Watertown and Cape Vincent, thence by steamer down the St. Lawrence as far ns Alexandria bay and return to Clayton, where thev will again board their special train forf Forest Port.

On Tuesday evening tho journey to Wash ington will lie begun. They expect to ar rive at the capital at noon on Wednesday. Secretary Lament left the party last night to join his family at Long Branch. INVITED TO SYRACUSE. Syracuse, N. Y.,July 14.—Root Post of the Grand Armyof the Republic to-night in vited President and Mrs. Cleveland to visit Syracuse. GERMANS IN FRANCE. The Gaul3 Notified That the Teutonic Hand Rests on a Sword. Berlin, July 14. —A German resident of Caudry, Department du Nord, France, writes to the Mannheim Journal that tho anti-German feeling in the Caudry is torri blo, and that tie and other Germans had narrowly escaped being killed. He and his countrymen wero insulted on tho stroet daily, and it was hardly safe to venture out. Ho would lx- obliged to move to St. Pierre, as lie bad no hopes that the persecution would cease, Tho Kreuz Zeitung, referring to this letter, says it is intolerable thut Germans should have to endure such treatment. "France,” it says, “must lx< made to under,- stand that there is a thus far uml no further in tlie matter. The heutzKch Tayhlatte publishes in a prominent position a number of voices re minding France that Germany’s hand rests upon the sword. VON MUNSTER PROTESTS. London, July 15, 3 a. I!.— Tho Post says that Count Von 51 muter, the German Am bassador ot Paris, recently remonstrated with M. Ftourens, against the violent at tacks mode upon Germany by tho French Radical press, especially one article dubbing the Count himself as "Grand Master of the Order of Spies," and describing the German Ernl>as*y as a nest of reptiles. Lord Lyons, tho British Ambassador, also protested, saying that If such attacks were allowed, the position of mi Ambussador would Isteoine untenable. M. Fiourens was sincerely grieved, and ex pressed himself in most friendly terms. Russia's Anti-German Crusade. Bf.iu.in, JulvJl4.—The Tayblalte says that Russia lias ordered ull frontier merchant* to dismiss German clerks whom they may have in their employ bv September. BULGARIA’3 NEW RULER. Emperor William Not Directly Inter ested in the Selection. Sophia, July 14. —The military element in this city is turbulent, and is calling upon Maj. Petroff, the New Minister of War, to resign. THE RESIGNATIONS NOT ACCEPTED. Tiunova, July 14.— The Sobranje has re fused to accept the resignations of tlie Re gents, who tendered them on the ground that their mission was completed, now that the Sobranje had elected a Prince. The Re gents will therefore remain in office pending the action of the [lowers respecting the elec tion. GERMANY’S POSITION. Berlin, July 14.—The North German Gazette , in an editorial art icle upon the po sition of Prince Ferdinand of Saxe Coburg (iotha, who was elected recently Prince of Bulgaria, says: “The question whether Prince Ferdinand required the sanction of tlie Duke of Saxe Coburg-Gotha as the head of the family must bo decided uuder t ho Co burg family law. Nothing exists in the Im perial constitution requiring tlie German Emperor to concern himself with the mut ter. The Emperor’s sanction is only needed under the Berlin treaty as is that of other signatures of that treaty.” BULGARIA’S DEPUTATION RECEIVED. Vienna, July 14.—Prince Ferdinand, of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, received the Bulgarian deputation to-day at Ebenthal. ROBBED BY A CASHIER. The Philadelphia Times Victimized to the Extent of $30,000. Philadelphia, July 14.—Joseph M. White, who has been cashier of the Times newspaper office for about ten years, is said to be a defaulter to the amount of at least 880,000. An examination of Mr. White’s books was made a short time ago and os a consequence he was asked to tender his resignation, which he did. Since that time ail examination has been progressing, and each day tho deficit has increased, until now it reaches the figure above stated, al though the examination of his books is not yet near completed. • NINE YEARS OF STEALING. As indicated by the books, the peculations have been going on for at least nine years, and although suspicion was at various times aroused by the extravagant habits of White, it was dispelled by a statement made by himself that his wire had fallen heir to quite a large sum of money. It now appears, however, that neither he noV his wife huve any property or money beyond White’s in come from his position, and that the money taken by him has been squandered in a lavish way in maintaining a position in society which his salary of #2,500 per year would not warrant. UNDER SURVEILLANCE. No steps have as yet been taken by the Times Publishing Company against the de faulter, but it is said that he is now and has been since his resignation uuder police sur veillance. He lias been at the office assist, ing the experts iii the examination of his accounts for severul days, and the discov ery of so large a shortage, whieh may be considerably increase! by future develop ments, has caused considerable excitement. OHIO’S GOVERNORSHIP. Thurman Refuses to Allow Hie Name to bo Considered. Chicago, July 14.—A special from Columbus, 0., says: “A. W. Thurman, son of Judge Allen G. Thurman, this evening received a letter from bis father, who is now in Boston, in relation to the Demo cratic State Convention to be held at Cleve land next week: ‘A word about politics. lam firmly resolved not to accept a nomination for the Governorship, and I look to you, Mr. Outhwaite, and other friends, to prevent my name from going before the convention. Tlie nomination would place mo in a very awkward position, nnd would com pel me to disappoint many well meaning and true friends, for notwithstand ing my warm appreciation of their friend ship and kind expressions of confidence and good will from all, I should in my present health be compelled to decline, mid that would injure mo and perhaps the [wirty. Therefore, 1 repeat, do not let my name be brought before the convention.” Fired at on the Rostrum. Galveston, Tex., July 14.—A dispatch from Wellborn says: evening while W. E. Farquohur and J. Eves were jointly discussing the prohibition amendment Mr. Farquehar, who had concluded his argu ment against the amendment, became en raged at tlie remark* of Dr. Eves, who fa vored it. and fired at him with a Ballard rifle. The I*ll misled its mark and lodged in the wall just behind the speaker’s head. Dr. Eves was not disconcerted by his oppo nent’s attempt to take his life, and con cluded his speech amid prolonged applause.” A Falling Scaffold. Columbia, H. C., July 14.—Ahout 8:30 o’clock this morning, by the breaking of the scaffolding upon which they were working upon the ceiling of the Hall of Representa tives, in the State House, four colored work men were thrown to the floor a distance of 30 feet. George Caldwell died from his in juries in ten minutes. Irish Jackson, Ham uol Cunningham and William Oliver were ull terribly bruised. Jackson is not ex pected to live.

Judge Barrett Fails to See any Good Ground For Showing the Prisoner Any Leniency—The Failure to Restore tho 111-gotten Gains Thrown Into Prominence in the Judge's Remarks —A Stay of Execution Obtained. New York, July 14. —Jacob Sharp slept better last night than for some nights previ ous, but'it seemed to bo the sleep of utter exhaustion, and he apiieared to bo but little refreshed by it when ho arose this morning at 0 o’clock. His wife sat by his bedside through the night, fanning him while he was sleeping, and giving cooling drinks in his waking intervals. After bo arose from bed she assisted him to dress for his second trip to the Court of Oyer nnd Terminer to receive sentence. He bore the same listless, indifferent and almost dazed manner notice able in him since his conviction. Ho ap peared almost unconscious of the attention his wife lavished on him, and scarcely ex changed a word with her. THE RIDE TO THE COURT HOUSE. Mr. Sharp remained sitting in a reclining chair with Ins wife beside him fanning him, until the hour came at which ho was to start for the court house. He hail been able to take but little nourishment, and was very weak. He was escorted from the jail to a carriage awaitting to convey him down town by Warden Keating, Under Sheriff Sexton and Deputy Sheriff Curran. Mrs. Sharp accompanied her husband and took the carriage with him and the Warden nnd Under Sheriff. The Deputy Sheriff sat on tho box beside the driver. It was 11:30 when tlie carriage drove away from the jail and just twenty minutes Inter it stopped before the county court house. A CURIOUS CROWD. The party alighted and passed through a lane made for them by the [Kilice through the waiting crowd of curious spectators to tho Sheriffs office, and thence to the court room. Sharp was so weak that in going to the carriage from the jail, and on leaving it on his way into the court house and up the stairs to the court room it was necessary for the officers guard ing him to support his tottering form. Long before Sharp's arrival crowds invaded the court house, trying to obtain entrance to the court room, or stood on the sidewalk without the building. Compara tively few of the throngs that applied for tickets to the court room sin-ceded in get ting in. There were a sufficient number admitted, however, to fill every scat. Judge Barrett, whose illness yesterday compelled postponement of the sentencing of the coil victed man, had recovered sufficiently to day to be present in court. He arrived at the court house at almost the same moment ns tho prisoner. A SAD SCENE. The clock was indicating exactly the hojur of 12 when Sharp was almost carried into the court room. His suffering wife and son-in-law were dose behind him and deop lines of weariness ami sorrow ovet spread their faces ns they seated themselves besides the dejected man and fanned his livid face without bringing anything like a semblance of color back to it. His grandson took the same seat he occupied during the long trial, and Lawyei-s Nelson, Stickney nnd Parson* seated themselves on the right of their client, opposite his wife and relatives. Sharp sat with clasped hands nnd bowed head at the foot of tne table. His face, almost buried ill his chest, became flushed and sickly lookmgtin dcr the riveted gaze of all present, who were silently staring at the convicted railroad jklng. Mr. Sharp and the rest of his family, ike the prisoner himself, was silent. The excitement was becoming quite feverish, when a sudden hush came over tho room as three raps on the door announced the ar rival of Judge Barrett, at exactly 12:15 o’clock. APPLICATION FOR A NEW TRIAL. After calling the court to order Mr. Mar tine got up ami stated that a* lie heard the defense had some l'cmarks to make he wished to hear them. Mr. Mitchell responded, saving that he had no application to put in for delay, but would move for anew trial, and wished the stenographer to make a note of the fact. Judge Barrett said that if the document contained nothing new he would deny the application for n hew trial. Mr. Mitchell then read a paper, stating that the trial was an unfair one In several ways. The jury was prejudiced against the client ami gave an unfair verdict. More over, the Judge's charge was an unjust one. Several other points were raised, but all were of the same variety. Judge Barrett stated that the motion would projierly be denied. MOVING FOR SENTENCE. District. Attorney Martino then stood up to move the court to sentence the prisoner. He stated that lie considered it his duty to a*k the court to appoint physicians to look into the prisoner's condition of health, and road some certificates from Dr*. Allen McC. Hamilton and Janeway to tho effect that the prisoner’s health was very bad, and that ho was suffering from dialietes, in flammation of the kidneys and organic dis ease of tlie heart, which were of serious im port, to a mail of his years. He then read Dr. Hamilton’s report on the condition of Bing Sing, and tho arrange ments for the cure of the sick, which he said were of a most excellent character all around, and the place was most healthfully situated. “In view of these facts," con cluded Mr. Martino, “there is nothing left for me to do but to move for the sentencing of the pris< >ner. ” Mr. Mitchell then stood up to make the last appeal for tlie defense. He said he did not wish to detain the court, but would ask the court to teiupor justice with mercy. PRONOUNCING THE SENTENCE. Judge Barrett then proceeded to deliver his sentence, lie said that he had never jierformod so delicate a task in his whole professional carecer. Ho had received many letters from many C>l pleading for mercy and otherwise, the court was not appointed to ls> mer ciful any more than won dictated by the laws of justice. A Judge i* appointed to award a penalty in accordance to the of fence, when nil the circumstances connected with tlie commission of the offence have been duly weighed mid considered. The defendant here, in asking for mercy, cua give nothing as it plea for clemency but his age and sickness. <hi tlie merits or the case he certainly is entitled to none. It is alwimi to state that be waa not guilty of giving bribes, as ho was the leader of the whole affair.

MRS. SHARP WEEPS. At this Mm. Sharp burns 1 her face in her handkerchief and wept silently, while tho prisoner himself did not lift his face from t lso table. “The Legislature does not allow us to go lielow the minimum penalty in such a grave offence as the present is,” continued •fudge lin r reft, “All cannot lie satisfied. Those who called for tho prisoner’s receiving the full penalty of the law, and those calling tin' a reprimand, all tilings have beon con sidored, and the judgment of this court is that the prisoner be confined four year* at hard labor, and that hepayaflneof $1,000." An attempt at applause was made in one corner of the room as the sentence was pro nounced, but it was suppressed quickly. A CHEEK WITHOUT. As some of the spectators moved out of court Mr. Mitchell shssl tip to ask fordehiy in the removal of (Sharp to Sing Sing until he had settled some affairs in the city. Judge Barrett denied the motion, as there was no provision of the law for such a course of action, and ho did not think it would be deserved by the prisoner if there was. At that moment a faint cheer was heard outside as the sentence was announced by those wiio had left the court room. The audience then began to melt away quickly. Sentence had been pronounced at 1:04. At 1:10 o’clock nearly all the mere curiosity seekers had left the room. At 1 :13 o’clock t here was another excitement of a moment’s duration as the prisoner was led out of the court room, still followed by his faithful wife, son-in-law and grandson. Sharp wus half led, half carried from the court room by his son-in-law and coachman, ami War den Ideating and Deputy Curran keeping close by his side. He was token to Sheriff Grant’s office in the basement of the court house. It was decided after Sharp had left tho court room that ho was to lie returned to Ludlow street jail. As it was for one night only the court considered it would not bo anything too great in the way of conces sion to allow him to stay in that place rather than to send him to the Tombs prison. A stay of proceedings has been granted by Judge Potter in the Sharp case until Mon day next. The order is returnable in the Supreme Court on Monday next. It was served on Sheriff Grant immediately on its being granted. The order directs the Dis triet Attorney to show cause why a perma nent stay of proceedings should not bo granted. The stay was granted on affidavits of Sharp’s counsel that they need more time to preimre a bill of exceptions and that Judge Barrett had said that he was too ill to give the matter of a stay his attention.
