go home to Heaven with them, and told
one of her attorneys that she had killed
all her children and burnt them in
the hoDse, aDd begged that she might be
killed in the quickest way and be sent to
heaven to meet her children. It was shown
from the evidence that the unfortunate lady
had for some seven or eight years been sub
ject to paroxysms. There was nothing in
the whole case, or in connection with the
whole affair going to show that there
w*s anything at • all wrong as to
the woman’s character, and strange
to say that her grief-stricken husband most
earnestly and fervently implored her attor
neys to manage her case so as to have her
released and restored to him, and allow him
to carry her to some place that he might
find as a home; she all the time averring
that she would kill the balance of her chil
dren and take them to heaven with her.
She is now in jail and will soon be sent to
the asylum for lunatics at Milledgeville.
Griffin Nexrs: One of the misfortunes of
our climate, and we believe one that deters
the experienced farmer from becoming an
independent producer of all that he requires
for consumption, is the uncertainty of ce
real crops in this climate. Corn, though a
hardy, vigorous plant, is often scorched and
withered by the hot breath of our summers,
while a full wheat crop is becoming a rarity,
the same with oats and other smaller grain’s.
These thoughts are suggested by reports of
mould on the wheat comiDg in from the
surrounding country. An intelligent plan
ter of this county assures ns of the general
prevalence of this new enemy, and gives it
as his opinion that the yield would of neces
sity bo much shortened thereby.
Columbus Enquirer: Since September
1st our factories have taken 9,830 bales of
cotton, against 8,313 same date last year,
showing an increase of 1,523 bales. If we
add to this the 300 bales bought for tho Au
gusta mill, it makes the total taken by
Georgia factories from this market 10,130
bales. Taking the lowest limit of price this
gives to Georgia, not, $1,214,300 above the
price of the raw material in one market
alone. This shows what immense gains are
there to the South in the establishment of
cotton mills in the cotton fields. Mill No.
3 of the E. & P. Mills will be in running or
der next winter, when Columbus will have
in operation, in round numbers, 1,700 looms
and 55,000 spindles—all with Southern capi
tal. Eleven years ago every spindle she
had was burned by the Federa'.s.

The acquittal by a mixed jury of Harney
Richard, who has been on trial at Fernan-
dina, charged with the murder of E. G.
Johnson, is a fitting rebuke to the perjury
that sustained the prosecution. We have
looked upon the trial from first to last as a
mere political conspiracy against a gentle
man who, while he has the nerve to be an
nncompromisinff Democrat, has the misfor
tune to possess a cream-colored mare.
The editor of the Monticello Constitution
doesn’t believe in “ reform” Democracy. He
is evidently of tbe opinion that the right
sort of Democracy doesn’t need reforming.
This belief, however, entitles him to be read
ont of the party by the Jacksonville and
Tallahassee prophets. Fildes should repent
while it is yet day.

is that Walls will bo whipped into support

Palatka Herald: We are informed that the
water in the Ocklawaha river is rapidly fall
ing. It is feared that in a short while the
steamers will not be able to run np as far as
Silver Spring. Until the present year they
could navigate as far as Leesburg, on the
uppor lakes. If it were not for the railroad
that is being built, we do not know what
would become of the many orange groves
that are comiDg on, and thoso that have
already come to maturity. The decrease in
the waters of this river is attributable to the
small amount of rainfall that we have ex
perienced in the past few years. The Bteam-
ers Dot running the whole route has been a
great inconvenience to the settlers, who have
to haul their produce miles to some shipping
point,
Jacksonville Union: The Supreme Court
of the United States has at last rendered
its final order in the case of tho Jackson
ville, Pensacola and Mobile Railroad. The
long litigation conducted by Col. Bisbee, as
attorney for tne State, has ended in a de
cree that grants all the Stato demanded,
and places the State in a position to pro
tect its own interest and to do substantial
justice to all other parties in interest. On
Monday last the court made an order that
the road should be delivered up by the
present Receiver, on the first day of June
next, to Hon. Dennis Eagan, Commissioner
of Lands and Immigration, wfio receives it
on behalf of the Trustees of the Internal
Improvement Fund and of the State.
Palatka Herald: Rice creek is five miles
north of Palatka on the west side of the
river. It is a wild, romantic stream; its
shores skirted with a grewth of beautiful
green foliage, presenting to the eye a scene
that is unsurpassable for beauty and loveli
ness. The day is not far distant when it
will be settled up, and fine orange groves
and flourishing farms will dot its fertile
shores, And what makes this location so
desirable is tbe fact that this stream will bo
in a few short years connected with Santa
Fe Lake, in Alachua county, via Etoniah
creek, which creek can be made navigable
for small steamers by dredging at a very
small cost. And this would not only be a
„reat convenience to the settlers along this
route, but to those in the interior of both
counties, who now baye to haul their pro
duce twenty-five and thirty miles to market.
Jacksonville Union: And now another
feature of the Dyke-Conover combination
comes to light, exposed through the strug
gle against this combination in Leon county.
Mr. Bail, the friend and representative of
Conover, was Chairman of the Leon County
Republican Committee, bat the Republicans
of the county, distrnstiDg his relations with
the Democracy, clamored for his removal.
On Friday last that committee met, and the
following letter, written by a Tallahassee
lady of the Democratic persuasion to a
member of the committee, who was known
to be opposed to Ball and Conover, was pro
duced and read: . .. .
“Clement Manley—I am surprised that
you should be against Conover. Don’t you
know he is to be the next Governor 7 You
will have a place given yon then. I am sorry
vou have beon taken in by the other side.
Be sure not to come in on Friday. Mr.
Ball requests me to tell you that you will be
paid to stgv away.”
Southern Men and Manners.
Olive Logan, writing to the Chicago
Times from Washington, gives her views
of Southern men from a social stand
point:
“Men of this decidedly Southern cast

London, May 5.—In the House of Lords
to-night Lord Derby, replying to the ques
tion of the Earl of Granville in regard to
the Winslow case, said the government had
sent a di-patcb to the United States Gov
ernment, which could hardly have reached
Washington yet, and until the result of the
pending negotiations were known, it would
be Inconvenient to put all the papers before
tbe House.
In the House of Commons Sir Henry
James, Liben 1, gave notice that he would
move at the curliest opportunity a resolu
tion equivalent to a vote of censure to the
effect that the royal titles proclamation
does not fulfill the pledges given by the
government during the debate on the bill,
and therefore the vote on the bill was taken
under a misconception. Mr. Disraeli ac
cepted the motion, not only as a vote of cen
sure, but also as a vote of want of confi
dence, and fixes the discussion for Thursday
next. This action of Mr. Disraeli was re-
sp jailed to by cheers and Counter-Conserva
tive cheers.
Sir Henry Drummond Wolff, member for
Christ Church, announced that he would
ask Mr. Bourke, Under Secretary for the
Foreign Department, whether the United
States Government had given notice of the
abrogation of the extradition clause of the

Mr. Lowe made a full and comprehensive
apology for the statement in his speech at

Queen asked two previous Premiers to in

CONKLING.
Washington. May 5.—A special to the
World says the agents of the Yale Lock
Company and Hall Safe Lock Company
charge Senator Conkling with having a tool
of his appointed one of the board of four
examiners in the Patent Office, whose duty
it is to examine into the value of all p .tents
in the lock department; that this tool kept
Conkling posted as to all that was done and
said by examiners; that Conkling argued
the case of a client before the examiners
and that the Commissioner decided in favor
of Conkliug’s client against all other lock
companies. Postmaster Jewell and Zach
Chandler have decided to lay the papers and
the case before the Cabinet to-morrow. The
charges are also revived that Conkling is
using his influence in favor of the Western
Union Telegraph Company and other of his
clients.
THE CENTENNIAL.
Philadelphia, May 5.—The Centennial
Commissioners’ lawyers have decided that
the prohibiting liquor laws are suspended

A Champion Falsehood.
For a good, stout lie, this, from the
Philadelphia Press, ought to take the
premium:
“All the orime ever perpetrated by Re
publicans in official life has been pursued
and punished by the Republican party.”
In no single instance since it came into
power has the Republican party volun
tarily exposed and punished a prominent
Republican rogue. Two or three negro
or carpet-bag representatives from the
South have beep kicked out of Congress
for their clumsy knavery, but whenever
the criininstl was a man of influence and
previous good reputation, he has either
been left untouched, or touched only
with the whitewash brush—and then
only after popular olamor had lifade
further inaction impossible. Take the
Credit Mobilier business as an illustra
tion. The Democratic press had been
hammering at it for months before a Re
publican Congress took the slightest no
tice of a scandal which implicated some
of its most distinguished leaders. But for
that Democratic hammering, which
finally roused a public outcry that could
not be smothered, not a step would have
been taken toward ventilating the record
of Colfax, Ames and the rest of the
“Christian statesmen” charged with un
christian practices. And when the in
vestigation did oocnr it was little better
than a farce. Public opinion, not Con
gressional action, demolished the oulprits.
The Indian ring is another case in
point. The only man who was “pursued
and punished by the Republican party”
was Prof. Marsh, who attacked the ring.
Delano and SkR* 1 were allowed to re
sign without even the mildest censure,
and the pious Bosler still continues to
deal out iron-clad beef to the savages he
loves so well, and has not suffered either
in purse Qr person for his swindling per
formances. Has the Republican party
“pursued and punished” Babcock or Bel
knap, Harrington or Shepherd, Orville
Grant or Alabama Spenper ? Has it ever,
of its own accord, laid the hand of
righteous retribution upon any Re
publican whose disgrace could hurt the
party ? If so, who ? The post-tradership
steal of the late Secretary of War was
published in a widely circulated newspa
per fojir years ago. A Republican House
committee reruaod te look into the mat
ter; a Republican President lndorsed the
accused and denounced his accuser, Gen.
Hazen; and it was left for a Democratic
committee to drag Belknap to the pillory.
And if RelRnap escapes tlje chastisement
he so richly merits, fte will owe his deliv
erance to Republican influence and Re
publican votes.

NINTH DAY OF THE TBIAL.
Upon the opening of court yesterday
morning Mr. 8. Y. Finley, for defense, an
nounced briefly “ at this stage we have con
eluded to rest for the present, with an un
derstanding between counsel in regard to
the admission of subsequent evidence that
may or may not arise.” This announcement
was not unexpected by the spectators, as it
is universally felt that tlrn ignominious
machinations of the plotters have met with
a, to them, disheartening check. Bat the
cabalists displayed an enormonB fund of
trickery by the attempted insertion of
drilled nigger, termed Thomas Simms, who
appeared to be willing to testify in conform
ity with a given cue. The ostensible pur
pose of his appearance was in rebnttal, but
ere the first question was propounded to
Simms the defense discovered that it was
an effort to foist entirely extraneous testi
mony into the case, and objected to his
admission. The astute Judge after having
permitted enough buncombe from the prose
cution to make nis testimony apparent, sus
tained the objection with every show of sin
cerity. The prosecution then called
JOHN H. BBOWN,
the nigger Deputy Sheriff of Duval conntv,
a chronic swearer, who is kept on hand for
the object of making oath according to the
sinister dictates of his masters. It was pro
posed to refute the evidence of Mr. J. C
Thrasher, hut Brown’s say only tended to
confirm it. Tfie abject siavo, Amos Kobin-
inson, it will be remembered, swore that he
did not see J. C. Thrasher at Baldwin at ail.
but the unwary Brown while denying that any
conversation took place, inadvertently ad
mitted that Mr. Thrasher spoke to the nig
ger Amos on that disputed occasion, and re
ceived answers from the perjurer a.oreaaid.
Then J. H. Brown became so thoroughly
confused that, under a searching cross-
examination, he convicted himself indisputA
ably of false swearing,from which imputation
he was not saved even by the rapidl’y with
which his friends came to his rescue as soon
as the defence had him hedged in. Then
on the re-direct the prosecution pro
pounded ono question to the witness
at least four times, in different phrase
ology, maugre the fact that the court,
to assume a semblance of fairness,
had ruled adversely to its admissibility in
every instance. They returned to the ques
tion ciu.-uitou.-iiv, with a contumacy border
ing on contempt, which it really was, and
had tho presiding functionary" Archibald
possessed a due appreciation of the dignity
of the ermine, counsel for prosecution
would at this writing be languishing amid
prison luxuries. But the effect sought to
be accomplished by this suspicious repeti
tion, was to create an impression upon the
jury by continual explosions of bombast as
to what the puppet Brown would testify to,
and the unsophisticated dignitary connived
at their previous chicanery. During the ex
amination of this witness the subjoined spirit
ed dialogue occurred between the opposing
counsel. Mr. Finley—“ I don’t think the
gentlemen should be in such indecent haste
when we object to the question.” Prose
cuting Attorney—“Some people fail to ap
predate the difference between decency and
indecency.” Mr. Finley—“Yon don’t seem
to appreciate the difference botween decent
and indecent testimony,” which was ap
plicable in an intense degree to tbe fellow
Brown. But ihe most extensive and fearful
blander committed by the conspirators was
the introduction by them of
JUDGE DAVID M. HAMMOND,
who, upon being interrogated, said that he
had heard Amos Bobinson say before the
arrest of the defendant that the tail of the
famous mare was neither black nor white,
and upon inquiry Amos had affirmed that be
thought the color was nearer that of the
body cf the animal, and denominated it as a
dirty color. When it is recollected that the
indefatigable Amos swore that the tail of
the cream-colored mare was black the world
will not be stricken by surprise to learn
that Judge Hammond’s evidence made the
prosecution curse their tolly and caused
Pattison’s hair to bristle like starched rags,
McDonnell's anatomy to fidget considerably,
Meek’s optics to become agonizingly
and
glaring. But they tried to recuperate
through the medium of
JONATHAN C. GREELEY,
of Jacksonville, who, upon being sworn,
had the amazing hardihood to confess that
he had been acquainted with the nigger de
mon Robinson for a period of twenty years.
It has always seemed incoutro’vertibly cer
tain that something was the matter
with Jonathan, but this admission
makes the myBtery clear. Their ami
cable relations were interrupted daring
the late conflict, and Greeley web un
able to furnish any information respect
ing tho reputation of Amos for truth
and veracity in the community in which
the notorious tar baby luxuriated even
three yoars ago. Hence, Greeley emulated
a great namesake, and name precipitately
down. At this junctnre (about lp. m.) the
persecutors closed in disgust, and the tri
bunal took a recess until three o’clock, at
which time defence stated that they had
expected additional evidence, but feared
that it would fail to arrive betimes, and not
feeling disposed to request the indulgence
of the court, they had concluded to close.
A consultation followed, and then came, for
the prosecution, the
ABOUMENT OF A. B. MEEE.
X-a-tawny- Jcnera! Meek began by venting
the stereotyped platitude that the duty
which devolved upon him and the jurorB, to
whom he alluded in a tearful style, was an
inexpressibly unpleasant task. “You are
not here simply to decide au ordinary case;
you are here to determine that a deed of
darkness has been oommitted of a most foul
charactor,” “the wich,” as Blunto would
observe, “nobody denies.” Meek com
menced to warm up, and, foaming at the
eyes, exclaimed: “We all entertaiu our dif
ferent views (and so forth for seventeen or
eighteen syllables), but when we see a fel
low being deprived suddenly of life by
the hand of a cowardly assassin there is a
deep feeling treasured in your hearts that
life is sacred, and that a man has been
ent off under most revolting oircumstances,”
an undoubted affair ot circumstancial evi
dence. Mr. Meek then went on to say; “There
are three points of view to be taken of the
evidence, three positions to be reached; tes
timony as to alibi; testimony as to party,
with hump shoulders, by defence; and,
thirdly, the State evidence. Three parties
swear to having soen Harney Richard at
Live Oak Pond on July 21, 1875,” but of
course they were mistaken. Here the
quondam Attorney General merged his
spirit into such a tremendous avalanche of
eloquence, and grew so instantaneously
tnrgid that it became impossible to
follow him connectedly, ergo, the suc
ceeding abridgement. He adverted to the
evidence of nearly all the witnesses in
support of an alibi, and fallaciously deduced
from his process of ratiocination that these
reputable parties were laboring under a
grave error into whioh they had honestly
reasoned themselves as to the date. He di
lated on the fallibility of the human memo
ry and arrived at equally illogical deduc
tions, asserting that an alibi was one of the
most dangerous defences that coaid be haz
arded and that it was the most easily fabri
cated thing in America. Meek set
up the second-hand theory of two
different men, and claimed that the
man defence had traced was another being.
He announced that in the event of certain
contingencies the prosecution would have
been driven opt of court by the weakness of
their ground, tint, as it was, ’twits quite
“the contrary—quite contrariwise,’* as
Sairey Gamp infers. Meek paid a glowing,
scintillating tribute to Amos Robinson,
whieh that worthy lost becanse he was
drnnk and asleep npon a front bench. He
complimented the axe-grinding ring chatter
er, Plato Facio, the perjurers Stephen
Wright, Joseph Gibbs, J. H. Brown and
other niggers, and virtually assailed the
characters and motives of several witnesses
for defence. Finally Mr. Meek, in his excite
ment, became so extensively interested in
hiB theme that he dropped such fabu
lous expressions as “Poley Richard and
Harney Farmey,” “The wife of a lone widow
returned,” “More openings than there are
in the leaves of the forest,” “Little facts,
littje fapts, gentlemen, have undermined
the flam that has fleyastatpfl the land,” ft ig
not oertain that he Aid not say “datu devas
tation” in this connection. “Muddy-colored
cock-tail and mane,” “Your idea of mud, my
idea of mud, mud, actual mud.” These
scintillations have been produced at random
from notes taken at the time. The
orator endeavored to palliate a blunder
bv accusing the prosecution of gener
osity ip introducing Judge Hammond,
anfl terminated his specious plausi
bility by imagining that Harney Richard
was the man who slew Johnson, bat he
failed to excite any visible sensation in the
jury to that effect. The speaker’s luminous
peroration was decidedly better than his
case, and tbe pertinency of his illustration
io the phase "blackest of deeds'.’ will not be
questioned. He spoke for upwards of two
hours and a half, and collapsed finally abo«t
the rapper hoar.
ARGUMENTS FOB DEFENCE.
Messrs. S. Y. Finley and T. T. Long will
speak lew defendant to-day and this will
bring the wheel to Patty Fatty, who will be
followed by Judge Baker for defense. Uncle
Tad will conclude for the prosecution. The
ease will probably be given to the jury to
morrow evening. Will anybody endeavor
io repeat the measures of intimidation
which were practiced npon the grand jury ?
Will any of the conspirators try to brow
beat these twelve men ? We shall watch
and see.
Febnandina, May 4, 1876.
WEDNESDAY, THE TENTH DAY.
At twenty-five minutes past nine yester
day morning, after the formal opening of
court, began, on the part of defense, the
ABOUMENT OF THOMAS T. LONG :
“May it please the conrt and gentlemen of
the jury, I do not come before yon defend
ing the murderer of E. G. Johnson, and he
is not here on trial now, as I shall clearly
§ rove by examining the evidence tor the
efendant, and I shall manifest to
yonr satisfaction that the pris
oner at the bar is not the man
who assassinated Dr. E. G. Johnson.” Coun
sel then proceeded to controvert the posi
tions of A. R. Meek in his Bpeech of the day
before, and accomplished the object aimed
at with eminent skill. The speaker remark
ed that he regretted the killing of Johnson,
but if the deed had to be perpetrated he
was glad that it occurred ou a day when the
whereabouts ot Harney Richard were known
by a great number of people. Judge Long
then riddled the testimony of the perj ured vil
lain, Amos Robinson, completely and vigor
ously repelled the insinuations of counsel on
the otherside regarding the credibility of Dr.
Bro*u.‘^ He adverted to- that distinguished
Italian writer, Judge John Friend, and said
that it was the first instance that ever came
within the purview of his knowledge of a
lawyer shadowing a man for the puriose of
being prepared to testify as to what kind of
a track he wonhl make. He doubted if
Frionu knew the difference between a hole
in the wall and a hole in a man's back.
Amos Robinson had been well tutored, he
knew a hundred things, everything .in
fact necessary to take an innocent
man’s life, aDd counsel would as soon think
of finding an iceberg in the crater of Vesu
vius, as to expect truth from such a nefari
ous witness. Judge Hammond’s evidence
convicts Robinson of false swearing without
any cumulative proof, and counsel asked if
any jury conld for a moment think of con
signing a man to perdition npon snch fiimsv
grounds. Counsel then entered into a brief
explication and discussion of the general
characteristics of several witnesses, re
lated an amusing anecdote, instituted a
comparison between Borne of the witnesses,
argued that no alibi was ever more clearly
established than the one which they had
proved for their client, and closed by ex
pressing his confidence in the wisdom of
the jurors, at the expiration of an hour and
a half. Rhea followed the
ABGUMENT OF SAMUEL Y. FINLEY,
for defense also. Mr. Finley said; “I ap
proach the argument, gentlemen of the
jury, with the highest sense or responsi
bility that I have ev9r felt, and I come be
fore you with sensations of both pain and
pleasure. It is a matter of deep regret to
every liberty-loving, God-fearing citizen
that there, is’so much wickedness and de
pravity in hnman nature as to sometimes
expose the innocent to a most try
ing ordeal for' the benefit of others,
and while I appear here with a thrill
of intense pain at tho iniquity which
prompts perjurers and dupes, Judas-like,
to persecute the unoflending, X neverthe
less experience an almost inexpressible
pleasure that my client has, after long con-
tinned suffering, been brought before a
jury of his peers, who will lift the dark
cloud from his life.” Mr. Finley compli
mented the jury and proceeded; “We
come not for mercy, gentlemen, but for
justice, and while it is your duty to
administer the law with mercy, be
cause the law iB merciful, we ask
not for mercy for the defendant, but for
justice, as he is not guilty. We are satisfied
that without any argument or the introduc
tion of one bit of testimony by us, yon
cou.d not have found this prisoner gnilty in
your own consciences, upon the weak and
paltry evidence offered by the prosecution.”
The conrt would charge them, counsel said,
that on circumstancial evidence the guilt of
the acensed must not only be established
beyond a reasonable donbt, bnt the evidence
must, to justify a conviction, preclude any
other hypothesis. Without the least evi
dence on the part of defence, even the sup
position of the prisoner’s gnilt would be
terribly and dangerously violent; a chain
of circumstances mast be made up, link af
ter link, link after link, and if there is one
link missing it is impossible to convict.
The jury assuredly would not guess away a
man’s existence. Mr. Finley then made some
caustic allusions to that celebrated tracker,
John Friend, and his assistant tracker, W.
F. Wood, and said that it would be rational
to conjecture that Judge Friend had about
as thorough a knowledge of the track busi
ness as of law. There were men tracking
another with all of the ingenuity that biood-
money could inspire. There was a lawyer
who conld tell a man’s weight by his tracks.
“Friend thinks a good deal of himself, and
he is afraid some people might imagine
that he is not au fait in tbe track business. "
Still, in the providence of God, circum
stances were so arranged as to protect in
nocence. The various track i had been
accounted for by the witness, Dr. Brown.
“Are yon to guess away upon that test ? I
deplore the assassination of Johnson, and
believe that the man who killed him shonid
be h&Dged. No community would extenuate
the crime of murder, and if my brother was
guilty of assassination I should say hang
him.” But no such futile testimony was
ever brought against any man as that
upon which the prosecution based their
case. “Notice another thing—no motive has
been assigned why this poor obecure farmer,
caring for nothin* else th-—to make an
honest living, should take it Tipon himself
to take the life of a fellow-being in a vile
and cowardly manner.” The feeling that
actuates men in deeds like this must be some
overruling passion of revenge or jealousy,
bnt the persecution had been unable to
OBBign even one motive. Johnson aud Har
ney Richard did not even know each other.
Yon won’t gness that a man would
murder another without a motive, yon
can not." “But, having argued to you
that even without one word of evidenco
from the defense it would be impossible to
convict this man npon tho testimony of the
many witnesses for tbe prosecution, it is
not hard to show the utter falsity of that
evidence even as it is.” Counsel then ex
pressed the opinion that all of this testimo
ny had been manufactured by some greater
intellect than that of the qigger perjurers,
and said that it was all marked by one pecu
liar feature—every negro witness said some
thing in support of Amos RobinsoD. The
jury were proper judges of the credibility of
the swearers. Mr. Finley then shattered
the falsehoods of the nigger Apios
and his companions into invisible particles,
entered into an elaborate resume and com
parison of the evidence, and exclaimed,
Will you believe a perjured villain in
preference to honest men, against the peace
of the innocent?” Counsel said that tho
persecution conld not dodge the proof of
the alibi by pretending that the witnesses
on this point were mistaken, They had all
sworn positively as to when and where they
saw Harney Richard; they had all
sworn positively they saw him on the
day of the murder, one hundred miles from
the scene, and if they did not see him they
were perjurers. The audacity of the prose-
cation in asBnming that these honest,
reputable men were mistaken, was amazing.
They were not, could not be mistaken, and
the alibi had been clearly proven, as it was
impossible for a man to be in two places at
once. Mr. Finley kept the attention of the
spectators enchained for about four hours,
aud concluded as follows : “I don’t see
how the prosecution can get up and address
this jury and aBk yon to convict an inno
cent man on testimony insufficient to hang
a flea upon. I believe, firmly, tljat when
yon come to consider this cage, Harney
Richard will go home to his family liber
ated andsfree,”
DODSON, FOGG AND BOY.
At 4 p. m. tbe floor trembled and the
building tottered under the ponderous
weight of the senior member of the firm of
Dodson A Fogg and their boy (Pattison,
Meek A McDonnell), and aiow manner like
a snrging sea welled np from the crowded
negro lobby as Patty Fatty arose for the
lerseention and shonted out, “Brother Fin-
>ey has taken at least one hour of tbe time
that I should have had (suppressed ap-
ilause), bnt he has gone on the theory that
le has been instructing interest
ing you, gentlemen, (more applause sup
pressed) and you have been for above
lour hours enlarging your views of
God, time a°d eternity under his eloquent
radiance (continued suppression of ap
plause), and he has a faculty that I haven’t,
a rhetoric and elocution that I haven’t (sup
pression of applause continued); not that
elocution which rounds off a period fluently,
but a faculty of working himsdlf np to a pa
thetic point and an appearance of crying
(tears) that is hard to look at, (additional
tears, interrupted With more repressed ap-
plause). Ain't that so 7 I won’t get so oiose
to you as he did (sigh of relief), for
" trembled for your security and
was afraid that he was about to
haul off and give you some of a
lift. What’s the point of his
four hours’ talk 7 (ditto as above). I took
notes of the lanes and the avenues, as it
I were, and am unable to find the point (visi
ble thrill) or the oentnd idea aThia add
lit’#
Has he removed the effect of the evidence
for the prosecution ?” That would be im
possible. Fatty Patty then puffing like an in.?
flated porpoise, expatiated upon the virtuous
proclivities of the nigger perjurers, brand
ishing a red bandanna meanwhile and bob
bing up and down furiously His metaphors
were about as clear as a cream-colored mare,
and his open month and cream-colored
breeches fairly grew impressive as he de
fended the nigger wretches who had sworn
so well. Patty Fatty took the name of the
State in vain abont forty times, and, it is
feared, invited the wrath of Hnrly Buriy,
the consecutive religionist, by bis reference
to a “holy, pions whine.” He undertook to
bolster np the scoundrel Amos Robinson,
and failed signally, while his hair kept brist
ling on. Fatty is a failure as far as quotiDg
poetry goes, but when it comes to the origi
nal article he is at home, for which Bee:
“Then they began to paint the hair.
And the mane and trie of that cream mare.”
Everybody thought that this was good for
an amateur, and tbe plaudits wonld have
been namerous if they had not been inter
dicted. Now, Patty, gesticulating wildly,
and cleaving the air, bit his words off in the
middle, made gome satirical remark abont
the “seat of justice,” and enunciated this
sentiment, which is reproduced verbatim :
“We have showed tbe animal that wag rode
by the defendant.” Very true. Anon he
elevated himself upon his toes, made a
feint as if to drop upon his knees,
said something in stentorian accents
abont something being “ fine as a fiddle,”
and “having the force of thin-ness,” then
he sprang a new color on tbe scene in say
ing that the alibi had the “color of impossi
bility.” He referred plaintively to the as
sassination of Johnson as a ‘‘deep, dark,
damnable, deep, dark deed,” which, as
Dominie Sampson would say, is a “prodi-
giona” anathema. His distended cheeks
abont this time, as he snuffed, and informed
his hearers, “I know the grass grows,”
were,not to exaggerate,somewhat Btretched.
The conrt finally lost ail patience and took
an abrupt recess for a little while, in order,
doubtless, to request Patty Fatty to abbre
viate a little, which he did at once by reit
erating “all I’ve got to say” about six times,
and quit at C p. m., having exhansted two
hoars in his grandiloquence.
PBOBABILXTIES.
Judge Baker, for defence, will speak this
morning, and tbe arguments will be con
cluded by McDonnell, for persecutors, when
the charge of the Judge will be in order.
The case, therefore, will, in all likelihood,
be relinquished to tbe jury this evening, but
there is no predicting how soon they will
agree or disagree. Banguo.

A YEBDICT OF ACQUITTAL BENDEBED BY
THE JUBY.
By the dispatch in our telegraph
ic columns it will be seen that,
after the argument of counsel and the
charge of the oonrt, the jury, after two
hours deliberation, returned a verdict of
not guilty. It is needless to say that this
result was confidently expected, even
from a Radical court and negro jury, as
the trial from beginning to end, in spite
of the false swearing of the negro wit
nesses and the malignant ingenuity of
the conductors of the prosecution, did,
not develop even a shadow of circum
stantial evidence to sustain the charge.
Never was there a viler case of malicious
prosecution for mercenary and partisan
ends than this, and good and true men of
all parties will not only he gratified at
the triumphant acquittal of an innocent
man, buf will deeply sympathize with
him in the suffering and pecuniary loss to
which he has been so wantonly and un
justly subjected. For such cases of
wanton and ruthless persecution there
shonid be some effective legal redress.—-

MORPHIA DISEASE.
Terrible Consequences of the Abuse
Narcatlcs In Modern Society.
of
The vast abuse of narcotics in modern
society is beooming,. the London Lancet
remarks, a serious evil. There is no de
nying the fact that in countries where no
administrative control of chemist’s shops
exists, as in England and America, the
public has too easy access to such drugs.
The report of the medical officer to the
Privy Council on the use of laudanum in
the industrial districts of England, for
the purpose of keeping infants quiet,
startled its readers some years ago. It is
not long since a political weekly contem
porary boldly contended that chloral was
to be found in the work-boxes and baskets
of nearly every lady in the West End, “to
calm her nerves.”
Chloral-punch has become an “institu
tion” in the drinking saloons of New
York, scarcely a year after its introduc
tion to medical practice. Now we hear
from sober, orderly and paternally-ruled
Germany, that there is such a thing as
morphia disease spreading among its
population. The easy application of sub
cutaneous injections left to the patients
themselves or their attendants by indul
gent practitioners has proved so tempt
ing to persons afflicted with bodily or
mental pain that they have taken to ha
bitualiy practicing them, and, of course,
as in the case of the continued and un
controlled internal use of opium, alcohol
or chloral, the effect soon becoming
weaker, the dose has been increased, and,
in some cases related by the physioian of
the private maison de sante at Berlin in
the Klin, Wocheimhrift, reached the
amount of from twelve to sixteen grains
per diem.
The symptoms seemed to be very much
like those of opium eating. One lady
took to morphine injections, after she
had become acquainted with their effect
in an attack of gall-stone colic during
the French war, when the anxiety abont
her male relations in the field weighed
too heavily on her mind to stand the
mental stress. AR®r she had praoticed
the soothing operation four years her face
showed a grayish leaden hue, the pupils
became the size oC a pin’s head. Violent
shiverings after the type of tertian fever,
hypenesthesia and neuralgia, dislike for
meat diet, great weakness, inability to
pursue any continued occupation existed,
with unimpaired intellect and memory in
the well educated and clever patient.
She was cured in the space of four weeks
by gradual deprivation of the drug. If
patients subject to this kind of disease
become aware of their state they are apt
to change it into alooholism.
The wife of a medioal man who saw in
a book on materia medioa that alcohol
was considered an antidote for morphia
became a confirmed drunkard. The au
thor observed four similar cases. In two
other cases the patients committed sui
cide and two died from marasmus. These
last four had refused medical treatment.
The task of the physician seems to be
always a very difficult one, as it is impos
sible to wean these patients from their
habit unless they are treated like prison
ers, searched before admission to the
hospital or sick room, put under the
guard of attendants inaccessible to bri
bery and cut off from all communication
with the outer world before the critical
time has passed.
The most highly educated and other
wise respectable will tell any amount of
lies and perjnre themselves to procure
the accustomed poison. Like dipsoma
nia #nd opium eating the morphia disease
degrades the moral character.
[From the London Times, April 13th.]
William Fish, who has been appre
hended on the charge of murdering the
little girl, Emily Holland, was yesterday
taken before magistrates at the Town
Hall, Blaekbarn. He is twenty-six years
of age, and a barber.
On Monday morning Peter Taylor
placed two dogs at the disposal of the po
lice—a springer spaniel and a part bred
bloodhound. The Chief Constable ar
ranged with some of his officers to take
the dogs to two barbers’ shops, one kept
by Denis Whitehead and the other the
prisoner’s. The intention was kept
cret and they managed to get into both
houses unobserved by the inhabi
tants. Iu the first house—that of
Denis Whitehead—the bloodhound did
not appear to scent anything, and
they went to Fish's. The dog imme
diately on entering the house begao to
sniff all round, and evidently scented
something in a back room. The door
which leads to the upper room was shut,
but Detective Officer Holden opened it
and went up stairs. The dog followed
and sniffed round the back room, in which
there was no fireplace, and really scented
something. It then passed into the front
room, finally stopping at the fireplace.
Mr. Taylor went to the chimney and
found a human skull, evidently that of a
child. Superintendent Eastwood inform
ed the prisoner of the object of their
visit, and he was extraordinarily affected
by the announcement. The police man
aged to get him away before the inhabit
ants were aware of what was going on
If they had been three or four minutes
later, they could not have brought him to
the court.
Strangely enough another bloodhound
came npon the scene. A furniture broker
at Enfield was coming to Blackburn with
a cart. At the toll bar he passed a man
carrying a parcel under his coat. A dog
he had with him, a bloodhound and
mastiff, went back to the man, jumping
upon his breast with its feet and pushing
its head under his coat. The broker,
knowing his dog was a dangerous one.
immediately called it away; but it re
peated this strange conduct. Therefore
it would appear there was one person
carrying the body about and another con
cemed in the murder. At all events,
these facts require to be very carefully
inquired into.
After being removed the prisoner con
fessed that he committed the murder,
and, without being aided by any one
mutilated the body and dispersed the
remains.
