VOLLME XI.-NUMBER 1774. CHARLESTON, FRIDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER I, 1871. ?THE CORPSE IN TEE TRUNK. USRAVELLIXG THE LATEST NEW \ YORK MYSTERY. Identification of the .?lurdere r and His Victim-Details of the InT-c&tigatlon -The Case Clearing Up, o?C. The mystery ot the corpse in the trunk at New York is being unravelled, step by step. J As announced by telegraph, the truckman I came forward and acknowledged that he was the man who carried the corpse to the depot. His name was William Pickett. His identica tion of the boy Potts, who helped the woman click the trunk at the depot, was the first step in solving thv mystery. The reBt is told as follows: PICKETT'S STORY. Picket says that on Saturday last, a woman came to his stand, on the corner of Twenty ninth street and Third avenue, and asked him to go to the basement of No. 687 Second ave nue and get a trunk of hers, which be would obtain by ringing the bell and telling the peo? ple what he wanted. Then he was to put it oft his truck and briog it to the Hudson River Railroad depot, whither Bhe was going In a coupe. She paid him In advance, changing a five-dollar bill to do so, and they parted. He went to the house, rang the hell, and, the door I opening, was ushered into the basement cham ber. There was no hall. Here he observed several women and a tall mac, whom the carman described so aecurately as to enable acting police Sergeant Rooney to Identify him as Jacob Rosenzweig, whom he knew well, acting Sergeant Rooney then went in civilian clothes, and loitered around the neighbor- I hood. CAPTURE OF THE SUPPOSED PRINCIPAL. <0 The sergeant had been there but a short time when Dr. Jacob Rosenzweig, the occu ?ant of the house, came Irom the direction of I irst avenue. As the doctor neared tbe house he recognized the policeman, and immediate? ly ran Into Boylan's liquor store, at Thirty-1 seventh street and Second avenue, and tried to hide in a closet. Sergeant Rooney was close After him, and, dragging him from his hiding ?ilace, led bim Into the street. By this time a arge multitude, attracted by the presence ot the police, had gathered in the neighborhood. As the sergeant returned to the street with his prisoner, the crowd closed In on him, and the cry went up of "String the wretch up to a lamp-post." The crowd' became so demonstra-1 tlve that the sergeant and his men were finally .C impelled to draw their pistols and warn the ] crowd to keen back, threatening to shoot the first man who dared to interfere with their progress. The prisoner was then taken to the station, followed by a clamorous crowd, whlcb, by the time they reached the station, had swell ed to many thousands. KNOWN TO THE TOLICE. The doctor bas gained notoriety with the po lice, to whom be ls known as Dr. Ascher. He denied all knowledge ot the murder, and said I that lt was all a mistake. Dr. Rosenzweig ls a I Pple. He came to New York from Platz, Po- , land, about seven years ago, and immediately commenced the practice of medicine. He is a member of the Eclectic College, on Twenty-1 : sixth street. He ls about thirty-five yean old ? and very stoat, with large, coarse features. His hair, which ls light flaxen, curls tightly to 11 his head, and ls worn parted in the middle. I He has a wife and several children, one an in? fant 'our weeks old. Pickett said ne believed Roser ; we! g to be the man who bad given him ? the trunk, but he was not sure that he had I j ?ver seen the girl bet?re. The wife, he thought, | < was in the basement at the time of its deliv- , erv, and asked him where he was going to I ( take lt. However, he was not very clear on i i these points. On further examination it was found that . Hrs. Rosenzweig, who first denied all know-1 ? fledge of the trunk business, said very Inno- I, ?.centiy that she was too delicate to be down I ? stairs on Saturday when the truckman called, I . but hastily correcting herself, she again pro-1 j leased total ignorance of any such affair having i transpired. Inspector Walling found out af-1 ? terwards that the woman had been down to 11 the basement four or five times since her con- IJ finement; ' Dr. Rosenzweig has two houses In 11 - - which, he carries on his business. Those who i know him say that about two years ago he kept a lager beer saloon in this city, but prob ably not finding lt as profitable as be desired, 11 he. turned his attention to the "practice" ot i medicine. He ls a fat, coarse and sensual I. looking fellow, without any traces of refine-1 ment In person or manners, and does net bear the faintest appearance of the educated phys!-1 j clan. HORE LIGHT. j A thorough search ol Dr. Rosenzweig's ! premises failed to discover the woman who had caused the trunk to be checked. The I house ls still under surveillance. Rosenzweig has a diploma Irom . he so-called medical col-1 " Ieee of Philadelphia. The prisoner ls very ; reticent, and denies all knowledge of the ' affair, though the police claim to possess posl-1 : tlve evidence of als complicity. Inspectors I} Jameson and Walling believe they have a cer-1 tain clue to the woman who accompanied the I : trunk to the depot. I j ANOTHER CLUE. I '] ? notice came to Inspector Walling to-day, ' from the eighteenth precinct, that an under I f taker had called at tlie statlonhouse and testi- i fled that a man called on him a few days ago 1 and wished him to bury a body,* which ne 1 stated was that of bis servant; also that be did 1 ?ot care how lt was burled, but wished it done ? nickly, and that he only wanted the hearse, c. be undertaker, who gives his name as James 1 " Boyle, and place of business as No. 658 Sec- I ond avenue, was then shown the doctor, and e identified him as the man who called on him fi and wished to have the body of his servant e burled. Boyle says he asked the doctor for a t certificate, and the doctor wanted to know if r ?he could not be burled without a certificate, i Boyle also says the doctor's manner was calca- c lated to excite suspicion, as he seemed fearful c of every sound. Boyle signed the above state- \ ment, and declared he was willing to testify in 1 court at any time. t [BT TELEGRAPH.] The body in the trunk has been finally iden- , tifled as Alice Bowlesley, of Paterson, N. J. , The teeth, the peculiar positkv- of a vaccine , Ajnark, a mole and a scar made the identifica .Tion complete. A handkerchief, marked A. A Bowlesley, was found at Dr. Rosenzweig's 1 residence. i Walter Conklldg, of Paterson, New Jersey, f connected with the Bowlesley affair, has com? mitted suicide. Bali has been refused in the 1 case of Dr. Perry and Madame Van Buskirk, ? the alleged abortionists. A habeas corpus waa . issued for Dr. Rosenzweig. DISASTERS AT SEA. NEW YORE, August 31.

Ia the Assembly, to-day, there was a lull at? tendance of deputies, and the galleries were crowded in expectation o? decisive action on the prolongation ol Thlers's powers. Rivet announced that the special committee bad agreed to receive the amendment proposed by Dulalre to the decree reported by them on Monday. It was therefore announced that the government would accept the decree. Loud protests were made by members of the Left. Numerous amendments, which had been pro? posed to the measure, were withdrawn. The excitement in the chamber during these pro? ceedings was intense. The discussion on the preamble, whereby the Assembly assumes con? stituent powers, proved tumultuous. A violent scene of ten minutes' duration was closed by the president putting on his hat. Gambetta opposed the assumption of constitutional pow? ers, declaring he would not accept even the Republic from the present Assembly. Fiually, the preamble assuming constituent powers was adopted, 433 to 227. The subject of the dissolution of the Assembly is settled for the present. A caucus held by the extreme Lett, Gambetta presidlog, showed the party so divided that lt was determined to abandon the issue. It ls announced that the payment ol the third instalment of half a milliard of francs was completed to-day. LATEST.-It is reported that the deputies of the Left will resign in a body. The Conserva? tive journals are satisfied with the progress made for the prolongation of Theirs's powers. The Radical journals blame the government for giving any consideration to thc preamble assuming constituent powers. MADRID, August 30. A decree of amnesty has been promulgated. It applies to all political offences committed In Spain. The preamble recites that the govern? ment ls well aware of the powerlessness of its adversaries, and of its own abilities to repress all revolts. . THE CHEAP MEAT PROBLEM. ; Texas Beef Retailed on Shipboard from Philadelphia-A New Departure for the Batchers. The arrival of the steamer Fire Fly, at Phil? adelphia, with a cargo ot fresh Texas beef, brought under a patent refrigerating process, ! has already been mentioned. The city retail 1 butchers did not purchase the car??, and an? nouncement was made that beef as fresh and Brm and sweet as the most dainty appetite , 2ou!d ask would be sold at retail on board the ' Fire Fly at five to fifteen cents per pound. The following description of the lively scene which ensued ls given by the Philadelphia Bul- \ letln : 1 when it-became known that fresh Texas < beef was being sold on the steamer at half the f rates charged in the street markets, a great f rush ot people of all colorr was at once made 1 to tf.ke advantage of the rare opportunity ot ' obtaining good meat at such very low rates. < Cap uiii Townsend at once transformed a por- ' lion of the lore-deck into a well-appointed meat-stand, and secured a corps of carvers, ' who are now, and have been since this tempo- < rary meat shop was opened, Industriously en? gaged In attending to the host of customers constantly pressing forward for the cheap texas beet. The scene this morning was an nterestlDg one. Rich and poor crowded for? ward to be served, calling for quantities from i pound to a quarter, and while waiting were 2 prolific in their encomiums upon its good quail- ' :.y and its cheapness, and their riddance from the "butcher monopoly" which they were com? pelled to support for so long a time. The Philadelphia North American of the 25th instant devotes an editorial column to a bis ioryofthe enterprise and the plans for Its :uture prosecution. It says: i The refrigerating process involved is a c patent, and has worked with the utmost satis action. The meat is sweet and tender and uley, and wants only In those characteristics hat belong to stall-fed or highly prepared in ?mais that are sought by connoisseurs at ex reme prices. Those used were an average of nterlor herds. The hides and horns were i tent on the same 6hip with the carcasses, on s leek, and found a ready sale at private terms, t rte temperature there, when killed, was 95 r legrees. As the first shipment was In Its t ?ature experimental, nearly a week was al owed to elapse before an organized effort was nade to market lt. This lt was calculated vould remove any prejudice that existed, or ?how the failure of the enterprise decisively, rhe point ls settled, and it is so settled that t viii!e this beef has been disposed of at between ive and fifteen cents, according to quality, we t nay look forward to sales at still lower prices, tow large receiving refrigerators will be built i here and here. Philadelphia butchers will c eave -teere on the return trip. An United itates inspector will be sent out to certify the ri luality ot the meat. The cattle will be grain- a ed on their receipt, before being butchered, i he poorer portions salted, and only the besty c hipped. And the sblD running between the ;reat refrigerators will not be detained at ii lither port. It is intended to add mutton to v he cargo, and to bring red fish, red snapper, v lompano and other choice varieties of fish, ind should the demand warrant, the endless ?yster-fllled bayous of Barataria and the whole loast, and the countless flocks of ducks that vaste along the streams of Southeastern rexas, where they can be and are killed by he boat load, will also be sent forward. The r ?ext cargo ls to be expected in about forty- r ive days from the day of departure here. It , nay be sold by the cargo on arrival, or stored ind retailed to large dealers. It will not be retailed again as In this instance. The foregoing account indicates that one t lrst difficulty in the way of bringing fresh , neat, preserved by the Telller process ol re? frigeration, from Texa?, was encountered in he opposition of the local butchers. This was promptly overcome by converting the steamer nto a retail beef mn: kit, and so effectually .hat the retail butchers appear now to have ;mbarked in the enterprise. If lt be true that resh, wholesome meat, of good quality, can ie profitably retailed at ten to fifteen cents per ? KHind, the "new departure" in transportation j viii be welcomed wlih a cordiality verging on t ; nth us ? asm. < A GREAT ROWIXG MATCH. HALIFAX, N. S., August 31.

RETROSPECTIVE GLANCE. Cotton-Tlie Crop of 1870-'71 and the Growing Crop-Sea Island Cotton Rice-Naval stores - Lamber - Phos phates - Fruits-Oar Receipts and Commerce. At no previous period In the history or the Cot ton States waa there presented a more striking evidence of their great agrien:taral capacity than daring the year Just closed. Commencing at the termination ot hostilities, six years ago, with change In the labor systam, without precedent in Its suddenness, and which was supposed by many to have placed them ina condition to prevent any development ot their wealth for a considerable time, without capital, except the energy ot the population and a fruitful soil, the leading stap has Increased In growth until lt has reached an amount only surpassed by one year la former Industrial efforts. This has been achieved In the face of heavily retarding political conditions, which are only gradually being overcome by praiseworthy fortitude and self-command. As the rapid development of the Southern cotton crop may be new to some of our readers, the fol? lowing facts will Indicate Its progressi Ia 1820- 21 the crop was 430ooo bales; inl830-'3l, 1,070,438; In 1839-'40, 2.177.835; ia 1648-'49, 2,723, 696; In l852-'53, 3,262,881, and for the six years before and since the war were as follows: Crop I8S6-?56 ...3.527,845 Crop l><6-*67... 3,939,519 Crop 1867-'68.. ..3.113,962 Crop 1858-'69....3,851,481 Crop 1850-'6O...4,669,770 Crop 1860-'61....3,656,086 Crop 1865-'66... 2,164,476 Crop lS6a-'o7... 1,951.938 Crop 1867-'68.. .2.430.8iZ Crop 186S-'69....2,439.039 Crop lSeO-^P. ...3,164,946 Crop 1870-'71,ea 4,250,000 The Crop of 1870-'71. The great results of the cotton crop just closed was largely owing to tba protracted favorable season, which was almost without precedeat In Its long continued spell of good picking weather, and which enabled the planters to secare and send to market an amount of the staple beyond the highest estimates early ia the j ear; but the large quaut Hy steadily forced do wa prices, and the crop was marketed with but ll'tie benefit to the Sooth, middling ranging from 13>i@21c In this market, and the net results were so limited) as to cause the general business of this section to be the most unsatisfactory since the war. The coarse of prices daring the year were as follows: In September at Liverpool they were from 8>?@ 9>i<l for middlings; at New York l'%?20Sic; at Charleston from i4s@i8.se.

The very low rates obtained for the cotton crop if last year, which was cultivated ander heavy izpense, rendered lt necessary that the present me should be made at low figures. For this pur >ose, commercial fertilizers were only purchased otha extent of about one-fourth. The area In cotton was] lessened over a large surface to the imount of ou ?-sixth, a full grain crop was plant id, and great economy practiced la all expend? urea. The early part of the planting season was rery unsatisfactory over a great part,of the South vest, heavy and continued rains taking place, ireventlng the proper working of the fields, caus ng a luxuriant growth or gr??s, and rendering lt lecessary to abandon parts of the crop. In the nore northerly portions of the cotton belt, the veatber, early In the season, acted more favo ra? lly, and the prospect for a full average yield la ropurtlon to the surface planted was good; bur, a Jane and July a severe drought in Caro loa damaged both corn and cotton. Later in the eason the complaints were more general, with eports ot worms In the Ou r States, with rust tn he Atlantic section, indicating a diminished crop, 'he causes tending to rednce the crop are a more imlted surface planted, bad weather early In the ear in the most ptolinc portions of the South, nth a drought injune and July la Carolina, a ery limited use or fertilizers, and generally an Qfcrlor condition of the plant without reports ? worms, rust, Ac. The deduction to bo o be made for these canses ls qnlte speculative, nd may amount to 1,000,000 bale3 or over-leav ag a probable crop of 3,000,000 to 3.250,000 bales, he latest aspect rather indicating about 3,000,000 ales, and with an early frost and bad weather in he rall, this an&u nt might even be reduced. The Sea Island Crop. The planters of the long stap.le cotton In Caro? ma, Georgia and Florida, have had numerous lirrlculiies to obstruct their raising or this staple n addition to troubles aristo; from the unsettled tate of labor, the destructive action of insects vas without precedent, and seemed to have be :ome a hxed feature of the climate. To meet bis difficulty short staple cotton was, to a certain .xtent, substituted during the past season; but .he result proved unprofitable, and the experi nent this year was abandoned. It is difficult to ;s : ima te the precise area placed under cultiva lon for the present crop. While In some localities lhere will be an Increase owing to the absence of :he short staple culture, In o.hers the lessened neans of punters, in consequence or the difficulty >f obtaining advances, have restricted operations The weather, up to a late date, was propitious, ind the plant promised well; but heavy easterly tales have lately prevailed over Florida and the :oast of Carolina and Georgia, and much injury ls .eported la some quarters, which may reduce the neal to an important extent, and may prevent ;he result from rising above tue figures or the rear just closed-say 20,coo bags of Carolina, 3eorgla and Floridas. The prices during the past seas in in thia market yere as follows : In September last medium Caro mas opened at 6Cc ty tt. In October common ivere quoted at 38@42, medium at 43@55, good lae at 65@75c. In November common were at 18@45, medium at 46@55, good at 56@85, fine at ro@85, medium to good Floridas at 28@3Sc ty m.

The difficulties attending the cultivation of this valuable grain have prevented its anti-war pro duct, and the crop or Carolina and Georgia creake moderately. The main obstacles are heavy outlay neccessary to keep the ditches banks, Ac. tn proper order, and the want cheap and reliable labor. The procurement or these Important facilities requiring time, the work recuperation bas been slow. There has, however been some enlargement In the growth, and the great superiorly that has always characterized the Carolina article, as compared wlthothe* ', w secure lt a market at full rates. The demaud from the northwest section or our country has been good during the past season, and as the orders have come direct to this point, Instead via New York, lt has done much to add to the tone and strength or prices here. This grain bas been sent In many cases direct by rall to places tn Illinois, Missouri, Iowa and Kansas, as well those near at hand; and that great secton country promises In i he future to be a'valuable customer In this market. The Information re celved in reference to the area planted docs net make lt vary materially from the year before but perhaps on the whole the agricultural season up to a late period was better, and the cultivation more thorough. But In a few weeks past, heavy gales, with high waters, have occurred, banks bave been broken, and the plant overflowed; this being, however, mostly confined to the rice dis trlct near Savannah and the southern rivers ot this State. The amonnt or damage sustained rrom this cause ls uncertain, and a larger result than last year can hardly be expected. The range of prices for the last crop took a wide scope, reaching at one time quite a low point but again rallying, the rates showed the follow lng movement for thia term: In September, 187 good rice was quoted at 9c, and ralr at 8)?c $ rb In October 6X@7c for good, and e@e>?c for fair In November for good, and 5@5?ic for fair, when lt rallied to 6\'c for good, and 6>?@ 8>?c ror ralr, fluctuating slightly during Deccm ber.
