The llicbniond papers continne to be filled with particulars ot tlie great disaster. From yesterday's Enquirer we take the following: Miiit'ini'iil 11I Oiptnln C. ('. AfrPhall. Attracted by the deep interest felt in regard to the decision of the Supreme Court of the Stale uhont to bo dolivered la the Mayoralty case, my partner, Dr. W. M. Withern, and myself, determined to visit the court-room in the Capitol. On rciiching it we found, tbouuh half an hour too early for the opening ot the court, a gathering crowd, the gallery being then filled. Leaving the room, we walked through tho library, whlling away the time until the hour of 11 approached nearer. AVlien we returucd both the court-room and clerk's cilice were being rapidly thronged with umny of our ijct and most noted citizens. As nigh led by the hand of Providence, we , alkcd noiofs the room and took our position 'n front of the fireplace, over which Is a mantel piece nailed to the wall of the building. Dr. Withers then remarked, ".See how the Hoor sways to the centre; but I suppose those in charge of huch things know that it is all right." 1 noticed a deflection of several Inches, but saw noctangc from what I had on previous occa sions ob'red to be its condition. A general good humor eeeined to pervade the entire assemblage, Pleasant words and kindly greetings were exchanged all around, as one after unother of personal and professional iriends and acquaintances dropped in and took their seats and positions before the bar of the court. lieiriir, us it were, on the flank of the crowd and lacing the entrances, my position was peculiarly favorable for personal observation of the whoie apartment of what was to trausplre. Every moment we were expecting to hear the clock tell the hour of eleven the time announced . for the decision, upon which so many hopes and eager expectations depended, which was to revive languishing bufciuess and restore peace and harmon to our city. Tho lawyers and re porters had gathered around their tables. Judge Joynes had entered from the conference room, and utter adjusting the window 6hades, speak ing to olflccrs of the court and counsel, took his sent, with papers iu hand, about the centre of the bench : then Judge Anderson made his appear ance, and sat ou the right and near the north side. Other members of the court were coni'mir in. By this time the room was fully packed all available space on tho lloor of tho court and clerks' rooms, in the gallery, and on the steps seemed to be occupied. Just then I heard a fcharp crack, felt a sympathetic thrill and shudder, which I know rau through that mass of men of every degree, as though one nerve of sensation was common to all. Momentarily there came a gentle bendin g of the floor, a surge, a crash beneath our feet, a shout as from one vast throat; the gallery, with its death-dealing freight and weight of human forms and heavy timbers, toppling over on tho devoted heads of those below, even beyond the centre of the room; the shock on the floor of the hall beneath; the immediate suction or drawing down of the heavy ceiling above, with its broken and jagged joists, boards, and laths; a blinding, suffocating, all-pervading storm of lime, mortar, and tho foul, black, accumulated dust of three-fourths of a century; an nwfnl pause, a silence as profound as the grave. Then arose from that horrid chasm a wail of agony so intense as to curdle my blood and pierce through the very marrow of my bones. When the crash came both Dr. Withers and myself turned and seized hold of the mantel piece; also, a lad who was between us. Dr. Withers aud the boy obtained an insecure foot ing on the crumbling and falling hearth, and finally managed to get on the portion of the floor by the judges' stand, which remains. The former was struck on the head by the falling ceiling and received several cuts and bruises on the face. I being at the corner and near the window, which was most fortunately raised, was left hanging without any support under my feel. While in that position portions of the jailing ceiling 6truck my head and disabled; my right arm and forced me to relax my hold with, it. Feeling about to fall, and despairingly throwing out my left arm, 1 caught a projection of the window sill and drew myself np until my foot touched a projecting ledge of the wall, and thus was saved. I found there Mr. William Tavlor. merchant, and one or two others, where we remained in safety, but agonized spectators of the horrid scenes just beneath, aud from . which we so narrowly and providentially escaped, until some mend threw a plank trom the judges' stand over the chasm to the window, over which we walked. EQUAL RIGHTS. JlaJtlmere Hntea te Fare tbe Music, but Doea It After a Faehlon Colored People la the Cam. The Baltimore American of Saturday has the following: The case of Alexander Thompson, of New York, vs. the Baltimore City Passenger Hail way Company, action to recover damages for the election of plaintiff, a colored citizen of New York, from a car of the defeudant.was taken up for trial on Thursday, and the defendant filed four pleas. Yesterday the plaintiff 's couuboI tiled & reiilWtlnn to the defendant's pleas, to the second and third counts of which the counsel ior the defendant demurred. Upon the argu ment of this demurrer the whole question came up, and the judgment of the court upon the de murrer was conclusive oi me wuoie case. Judge Giles delivered the following opinion: "Certainly no one can be excluded from carriage by a common carrier on account of color, religious belief, comical relations, or prejudice. But while recosulzinir the rlzht of the colored man to be car ried on the same footing with the white man, la it unreasonable to assign different places In the cars to passengers of each color? If the place assigned to the colored mau Is in all respects at. comfortable. , safe, and convenient as the one assigned to the white man, in what respect is he lujured or hi rliihts abridged T The Question is whether a public carrier may not, in the exercise of his private right cif property, and in the due performance of his publio doty, separate passengers by any other rule than that of sex. The "ladies' car" H known upon every well-regulated railroad, and lta propriety is doubted ty none. In the absence, therefore, of auy legisla tion prohibiting the carrier from making any diauuo. tiou between paaaeugers on aecouut of race or color, wuatu mere to prevent nun from so arraugmg an cars as to carry his colored passengers in one apartment . and his while passengers in another? Would it not conduce to the comfort of both, and tend to secure order, preserve the peace, and maintain the rights of lolb carriers and paaaeugers ? Would not such a regulation be as reasonable and proper under all the VUVUn,gtan'.'f ajj the on 14 i-.'f SliiC 19 Ul'i SariV. Hon of the sexes? If, therefore, the defendant in the cane had provided a certain number of car f. r tin- carriage of colored people, or had assigned In wh car a certain place fort hem, I would have hold such a regulation reasonable and r roper. Hut the tacts In Hi in case present, no such Justillcation for the carrier. It had not proridrt seats for colored pas sengers In any of Its earn, and although tking I rom the platntiir the usual fare, ordered him, through Its conductor, to fro oat and stand on the platform. This w as not a discharge of tts duty 88 a common rartierof phHsctigrrs, and there la nothing la It charter imparling to It any right thus to discriminate between passengers who are orderly and well-behaved, an I who oiler to pay their fare. This Is my view on the general question." A jury was sworn, and by agreement of coun sel the damaires In favor of the plaintiff were assessed at $10. Mr. Stirling sale, that this suit had been brought not to make money, but to ascertain the law. HOW THE OPINION WAS ItECEI VED. 2'hc publication of the proceedings iu this case had awakened considerable interest in the matter among the citizens, and a large crowd was in attendance in the court-room, including about fifty of our colored citizens. They watched the successive steps of the trial with great attention, and evinced much satisfaction during the delivery of the opinion of the Court. ACTION OF Til K PA98KNGER RAILWAY COMPANT. An advertisement In another column gives notice that "on and after Monday, May 3, sepa rate cars will be provided on the different lines of the Baltimore City Railway."

The Great Clnrlnnntl Nfwipnppr Duel The Ildllor of the "t'ommerclal" routed as a "l.ow-Tonr d Coward," Ktc. The great newspaper duel which Is to be in Cincinnati excites much comment. It originated in the following articlo in the Enquirer, of which McLean is editor: M'l.EAN TOSTS HALSTEAD. But w hile the public is a witness to these en venomed personal attacks, it is naturally igno rant of the reason of them. Let ours be the simple task to tell the cause. We could have secured the silence of Mr. Halstcad, aud he knows it; but we refused to pay the price asked. Iicnee bis malignant personal defamation. Now, wo simply propose to bring all this mat ter to a head. fcSilcnce on our part has produced license on his part. We and we take it, the public are tired of it. Neither we nor Mr. llalstcad have auy right to make the people parties to what is evidently ou his part a per sonal hate of one of the proprietors of this paper, who, we will here sa)-, is unconscious of ever having done himhatm by word, deed or thought. And with a view to bringing the mat ter to an abrupt conclusion, we now post Mr. Murat Halstead as a low-toned, vulgar liar, blackguard and coward. Mr. Halstead knows the name of the writer of this article, aud where and when to llud him. M'l.EAN TF.I.1.S HALSTEAD IIR POSTS HIM. Mr. Washington McLean, the author of the article in yesterday's Enquirer debouncing Mr. Haii-tead. undemanding at a late nour last, evening, from reliable authority, that he (Mr. Halstead) Intended in this morning's issue of the Commercial to affect ignorauco of the real author of tlie paragraph in the Enquirer, caused to be delivered t Mr. mislead last night tho subjoined note, which deprives him of all excuse in the premises: "Cincinnati. April z, iiu. anirai uaisieau, ivu- tor of the Cincinnati Commercial I understand trom reliable authority that jou Intend in your to-inor-row's paper giving the impression that you are ig norant or tne name oi iiiu writer oi me article in to-day's Enquirer, denouncing you as a 'low-toned, vulgar liar, blackguard, aud coward.' l am tne author, ana noia myseii responsioie ror the same. In haste, Washington McLkan." HALSTEAD HEPI.IE8 TO M'LEAV. I understand Mr. Washington McLean, by his production of printed matter under the provoca tion he professes he has had, to express his pre ference lor personal warlare through the press. and I do not feel that it is my part to divert the present controversy. Thorcfore, I notice here the one sentence in Mr. McLean s article in the Enquirer that I am prepared to pronouuee bold. Jt is this: "We could have secured the silence of Mr. Hal stead, and he knows it : but wc refused to pay the price he asked." There is nothing within my knowlcdjc that could have suggested this insinuation, and I challenge the production of particulars. 1 have never asked or received, directly or indirectly, a Erice for silence or for utterance, and I never ought or sought, iu personal affairs, any one to speak or to be still lor my sane, i uave no in terest, actual or contingent, and never had any, in stocks, or bonds, or public coutracts, or in speculative schemes of any name and nature. I enjoy the absolute Independence that this dis interestedness gives me in journalism, and I am proud of it; and there is no influence that can aiiect my purpose to upeaK with ireeaom ot those who are plotting lorever in public affairs lor their private advantage. Mr. McLean is the most conspicuous ot that class In this city, and X disbelieve in his cpa city to say or do anything that will give him, in his schemes that incessantly invado the interests of the people, immunity trom the criticisms that I may see proper to make in the columns of the Commercial. M. Halstead. The telegraph sends word that the challenge to mortal combat has passed, but there is great diilicultv in finding seconds. It is rumored that the weapons win be Howitzers, ana tne nignt ai a distance of a milo. Unless some one is btruck in four hours the duel will bo discontinued. MAZZIXI. The Great Aaltator'a Ilevlew of Ufa Own l,u.Dora. Eignor Mazzlni has addressed the following letter to Mr. Edgar Ouiuct: Dear Iriend: 1 xeel a kind ot remorse at heart for not having thanked Madame iulnet for sending me her work, and you for the letter of those who wished to return you as a member to the Chamber. I do so now, ou the point of etartlnsr for London. When the book reached me 1 was very ill. subsequently 1 was wnouy absorbed by the political situation ot Italy. My life is one continued struggle. I would wil lingly give up the little I have left of my life for one vear a uuict. to be awe be 1 ore 1 cue to write a book saying all that I believe to be true about the world as it is, ana tne iuture, witnoui spar ing personal feeling, without reticence or re serve, and that is impossible. Placed at the head of a vast system of practical organization. X mubt devote au my eauru to evoive from it an equally practical result. There is a multitude of young men and trades unions (associations outrieres) to whom I myself have given as a watchword "action," and who, right or wrontr. consider me as incur sianaaru-uearer I could not forsake them for the purpose of writincr a book without feeling guilty of deser tion. I am. therefore, going on with a task for which, old aud weariad, morally and physically, I Lave no longer strength enough, lam busy from morning to-night writing letters, notes, circulars, instructions, and a few , newspaper articles. That is the reason why ; have delayed writing to you. Forgive and pity me. I go oa working, impelled by the feeling that I have a duty to fulfil a duty cold, dry, arid, without anv poetry or compensation. with tne exceDtion of a few bright spirits (atw$ deliUt), I no lonzer ' esteem the generation for which I am working. That generation is an in strument nothinir more. Ho you understand. dear friend, the sadness ot this confession? The generation which we arc marching with has fatal Instincts, reactions, and Impulses, some times hatreds: and above all u accustomed U fight. We may, we must, try and get something out of It which Till eiaoo'li the ground and pjve 1 the war for the future. But we cannot sympa t ize with it; we cannot rcioice and suffer with it, we cannot grasp cordially the hand of those who stand by ns in the tight. This generation bus opinions, but no faith. It denies the exist ence of God, of immortality, of love, tho eternal promise, the future of those who love, the belief in an intelligent and providential law, all that is beautiful, good, and holy in tho world a whole heroic trinity of religious feeling from Prome theus to Christ, from 8ocrates to Kepler bat grovels on its knees before Couite and Buchner. This generation studies passing phenomena but ignores the causes that produce them. It admits law, but ignores the law-giver the form without the substance the means without the end. As an inevitable consequence it is a Machiavellic generation, all for expediency and tactics bat a stranger to the moral sense, to the consciousness of the holiness of its works, to the power of truth. It labors to ovenb.ro w, yet takes the oath of fidelity to the empire. In Italy it speculates whether, to compass the downfall of the monarchy, an alliance with Prussia or an alliance with imperial France be preferable whether, to obtain the Italian Tyrol, it be better to make war against Austria or drive her against Moldo-Wallachia. That is the point we have arrived at. Success, the theory of Hegel, the worship of strength. Justice, justice for all and everywhere, is set down as a Utopian idea. That is the reason why, dis couraged and disgusted as I am, I remain at my post. It is possible that I may, in doing so, in fluence the first acts of a re vol n tion which may beget consequences which are not foreseen at the outset. A whole century may depend upon tho initial impulse. Good bye, dear friend, con tinue unshaken, aud preach the truth. Yours from my heart, Giuseppe Mazzini. MUBDEIt" AT SEA, Itleody Affair oa Itourd a Rrltlah Haiti. Yesterday morning the British bark Morning Light, Captain Joseph A. Lavender, which had ust arrived from Buenos Ayres, south America, was observed lying in the East river Hying her flag with the union down. Captain Garland, of the First precinct, was notified, and Olllcers Dougherty, Selleck, and Doyle, of his command, were sent off to the bark in a small boat to board the vessel and learn the reason for the signal of distress. When the police officers boarded tho vessel, Captain Lavender reported to them that on the H2A ultimo, while at sea, Edward Bevins, one of the crew, while at work on the foretoptnast, became involved in a quarrel with Thomas H. Johnston, also one of tho crew, and the latter stabbed Bevins in the abdomen with a sheath knife, inflicting a wound from which death ensued in a few hours. Bevins was buried at sea, and Johnston was placed in irons and broncht to this port for trial. The police officers took charge of the murderer, and he was locked up at the New Street Police Station.

The week closed on Saturday night, notwith standing the already considerable progress made upward, wun a strong, couuuem, utioyant ieeung iu all departments of speculation. The reason of this change is a simple one. At' the start of the movement operators were mostly minaiui or their late experiences, so often repeated since the first of January, of similar 'bull' essays, pro mising great profits, but resulting in very 'short turns,' which left them largely losers, and feared to be again deceived, as tne movement, nowever, progressed and passed beyond the point of predicted failure, an examination into the natural conditions influencing the market seeming to oiler more assu rance of success now man on lormer occasions, in duced large accessions to the ranks of buyers and developed the present excitement. "l'ne priLcipai arguments in support or a onir movement at this lime are, first, an easy money market with every prospect or its continuance for some time, borne weeks ago, although money was then easy, there was the expectation of the usual spring activity to lndHce caution. As the period 01 thai activity nas passes, anu it naB neen demon strated it la to be remitted this year, the pre sent ease is one giving every encouragement to speculation. Again, after a long period of a declin ing tendency iu goiu, mat measure or value nag suddenly exhibited a reactionary feeling and ad vanced very considerably. Although this la helped by speculative purchases, these are in tarn stlinula- tuig tue natural course 01 tne insritei. in tne nrst place, an upward turn in gold iu customary at this time of the year, when, other ooimuodities being exhausted, we are obliged to ship specie orbouds in settlement of foreign contracts, and continues until the early fall, when the new crop movement supplies a means of payment. This would not, how ever, wholly account for the strong gold market bo early as this when the Treasury is disbursing large supplies of coin in payment ot the May interest, if the ueniand for our bonds was equal to that of former years. But the fact Is clear that that de mand has suddenly fallen off. Bat few orders have been received from Kurope to reinvest the Hay coupons, and the dealers in foreign exchange have strengthened their rates in consequence. How long this lndlilnrenco to oar securities abroad la to last it is hard to determine. American credit would appear to have received a blow of some severity, but not, we trust, a lasting one. The discussion of the funding measure in Congress and outside, and many of its provisions, have undoubtedly served to Interrupt the invest ment demand, which was likewise chucked by the manner in which the present Secretary of the Trea suty baa endeavored to force his bill through In the face of the opposition of so large a class as compe tent as himself to judge of lta value. Then the agi tation respecting the legal-tender decision, the de mand for its review and the general discussion of its merits on either side, has awakened grave fears as to the responsibility or respectability of American courts aad legislatures, and otherwise exposed us to harfch criticism in the minds of foreigners who do not understand our American way of doing things. This la especially opera tive in Uerinttuy with the class who invest in small lots. In England there appears to lie a dis trust of American nuances siuee the gold corner, which has been farther increased by more recent events, that the Loudon journals do not omit to quote to our discredit. The abaence of the usual orders for reinvestment have thus served to strengthen gold in the face of the payment of tho May interest, the larger portion of which is due to foreign holders, as well as counteracted the espeo. tatiou of increased sales by becretary lioutweU this month."

The Government and the Oneida The Evidence Against Captain Eyre Tho Reported Cuban Revolt. Tho McFarland Murder Trial. Commander Upshnr Convicted. Fiunncial ml Oommercinl Etc., Ktc, Etc., Etc., Etc. FROM WASHING TOJY. The Oneida Disaster The Coming' Invention, tion by Conarens A Htrong Case Aaafnst the Captain of the Hentbay. Special Despatch to The Evening Telegraph, Washington, May 2. The Navy Department is preparing duplicates of all the documents received concerning the Oneida disaster the record of the Court of Inquiry, the opinions of the Court and of different ofliccrs, charts of the Bay of Yeddo, etc., for transmission to Congress in answer to resolutions. The information covers several hundred pages of foolscap and is of painful interest, The evidence clearly shows that the Oneida was being properly commanded, and the rules of the road at sea thoroughly ob served up to the time the Bombay collided with her; that her navigator, Commander Muldaur, was a gentleman of great naval experience and a notable proficient as a navigator; also that it was evident that be did not anticipate any danger from the approaching steamer, as it appears that after having seen the light of the Bombay, and the course of his vessel, he went below and spoke of an inbound vessel approaching, aud there remained until the collision. Tne evi dence of those saved who were on the deck of the Oneida, from the time the light of the Bombay was first seen, until a few minutes previous to her striking the Oneida, also shows that the course of the two vessels was such that they would pass each other in safety, when the Bombay changed her course, and seemed evi dently intent upon striking the Oneida, and giving good foundations for the expression which Lieutenant Lyons uses in his argument, speaking of the apparent thoughts of Captain E,rre "It's only a Japanese junk, and I'll run her down." The ofliccrs and men of the Oneida are reported as calm and col lecteddecidedly so under the circumstances but from the first nothing could be done to save the Hbip or themselves, except looking for their only hope of salvation the assistance and human aid expected from the British steamer, which was brutally denied them, for the evi dence shows that at no time did the Bombay stop her engines, and Captain Eyre says he did not know that it was customary to communicate with a vessel to ascertain if she was in distress. How could he know in a dark night, with his own vessel proceeding with usual, whether the Oneida needed aid without communication with her ? It is evident that Captain Eyre con sidered the Oneda injured, for when the pilot asked blm what if she was in danger, what could she do ? and his reply was that Saratoga Spit was near at hand, and they could strand the Oneida there. Captain Eyre s evidence is strangely at variance in many portions ot it, and differs greatly with that of his own officers; and Lieutenant Lyon's analysis of the evidence, traced out on a chart of the Bay of Yeddo, shows that the distances and different points that he gives regarding the course of the Bombay is not where she actually did go or possible for her to go. This was Captain Eyre's first visit to this place, and from his own statements of his supposed distance from Hong Kong and other points, he was entering a harbor that ho never had entered before, and the chart of which ho had greatly neglected to become familiar with. Au extra spar which was lashed on the side of the Oneida was struck in the centre by the Bombay, half of which entered and passed through the iron plates of the bow of the Bombay. One of her officers was aware of it at the time, but did not report it to Captain Eyre until hours afterwards, when at anchor, thus showing conclusively that it was known on the Bombay that injury of some kind had been sustained by the Oneida. In one of the despatches of Kear-Admlral Rowan to the Navy Department he says: "Upon reading the evidence in the case, I am of the opinion that the court arrived at an erroneous flndlUK. The cold blooded selfishness of Captain Kjre in not backing his ship when he saw collision inevitable, and by so doing bringing his ship almost alongside the Oneida, added to his subsequent in humanity, deserves a different puuishmeut than six calendar months' suspension from command, which is simply equivalent to a leave of absence." How truly he echoes the sentiments of every American and Englishman who is human and sets a value upon precious life ! To be sure, any puuishment which could be inflicted upon him would not restore to the beloved ones their lost friends, and the worst would be but a poor consolation to them. But his inhuman and fiendish acts in allowing one hundred and forty five precions and gallant heroes of our country's flag to perish before his eyes, and withholding the arm of assistance, while by extending it he could have saved them all, causes a justly indig nant country to loudly demand a punishment due to his hellish crime.

The Indlaa Trenblee. Deepatek to the AteoeiaUd fre. Washington, May 2 On inquiry at the proper quarter to-day, it is ascertained that the fcioux are the principal if not the only part of the Indians who manifest restlessnees, which mar at any time be changed to widespread hos Ulities agaiBSt the whiles. The War Depart ment has recently ordered all the available mili tary force to the plains, in order to guard the Pacific Kail road as well as to keep the peace The court army does w con.Uf of more than thirty thousand men inclusive of those not employed in the field, and the terms of enlist ment of many of them are expiring faster than recruits can be obtained to take their place. The official reports show that the dissatisfaction of the Indians arises from the non-f ulnlment of treaty stipulations made two years ago by Generals Sherman, Terry, Sanborn, Harney, and several other officials and civilians, by which they were to be placed on reservations and fed for two years. The Cuban Volunteers. The Government has up to this morning re ceived no official despatches in the least degree confirming or strengthening the report that the volunteers have seized Morvo Castle, as recently reported. There is no doubt, however, that the volunteers control, to a great degree, the Spa nish authorities. FROM JiKW YORK. Tbe McFarland Trial. , New York, May 2. Owing to the scene ou Friday afternoon and the fact that Mrs. Calhoun was to be called, the court-room was more crowded than ever. Luther Horton, first witness Was Deputy United States Marshal; knew McFarland in 18t3; found him intoxicated in the street, unable to walk; took him home in a carriage. James Gamble, a resident of Woodnldc, N. J., testified Prisoner came into his store there the week before the shooting and asked where Richardson lived; prisoner related family trou bles and said he should shoot Kichardson on sight. Mr. Ryerson, of Woodalde, testified that shortly before the shooting, McFarland In quired of him where Richardson lived. Noticed 110 excitement or irrational talk on the part of the prisoner. The cross-examination of these witnesses elicited nothing new. A. 8. Merriam, of Brooklyn, lawyer, testified that two days before the shooting he had a long conversation with the prisoner about a money balance between them; saw no excitement in the prisoner whatever. Judge Davis here said they had proved that tbe Greenwich street property was attached in 1800, and since that time no property remains. The defense claim that Mrs. McFarland had remained with her husband until he became poor, and then she left him. Such is not the case. Mrs. McFarland remained with her husband for a loner time after he had become a poor man. Mark M. Pomeroy (Brick) testified that he was the proprietor of the Democrat and became acquainted with prisoner during the Presidential campaign of 1803: he called on me atmyomce and introduced hlmfelf as McFarland and asked me to purchase several letters from him and publish them tn the Democrat, he said that these letters contained full descriptions of the debauchery of hlB wife by Richardson; he told me Mr. Greeley and the Tribune people were runniug a free-love establish ment, and said I could make a sensation by publish ing them and get even with Mr. Greeley for his con duct towards me in the political arena; he said Rich, ardson had trained the affections of nts wife : McFar land said they would be worth IKK); I did not care to purchase thein, aud said whatever fight I had with Mr. Greeley did not extend to his reporters ; I did not care to mix mvsi with those matters at all, and would not pure 11 a from a msn evidence of his wife's infamy; McFar land said It would enlarge the clronlatton of the Demo crat: 1 said I did not wieh to increase it by the means he proposed; I said the man who purchased those letters was no better tnan tne man who wrote them : I told him I was very sorry for his trouble, but would not consent to ngnt wituureeiey in that way; the prisoner's appearance at tne tune was that or a man who had something to dispose of, and was anxious to dispose of it; never Saw him slace. On crops examination Pomeroy said he did not examine tbe letters, and did not know the contents; M Farland did not look like a temperance leaturer at tne time ; 1 would not s wear ocvoud mat ; mure is a possibility of doubt that the man who presented letters to me for sale was the prisoner.
