THURSDAY, MAY 18,1865. our Policy of Neutrality. The effort now being made to recrait an army for service in Mexico is attracting much attention, and General RosßCßans’ denial of all connection with the scheme, and his criticism upon it audits supporters, Will receive the warm approbation of many of our countrymen. In the earliest days of onr national ex istence an infringement of our neutrality was almost forced upon ns by the war be tween England and France. The situa tion was a difficult one,-the feeling of the people was strongly excited against Great Britain. The first term of Washington’s Administration was hardly completed, and the animosities produced by the War of Independence were not yet allayed. The question received additional gravity from the fact that we were under obligations to France for assistance in the time of need. The heart of the nation was thus engaged in the conflict between an old foe and ty rant on one band, and a zealous and ser viceable friend on the other. This strong feeling was further intensified by the added hope that the friendly nation might soon become a sister Republic. Washington and the wise men around him arrayed themselves directly against this popular sentiment, planted themselves firmly against the tide of feeling, vigor ously opposed the raising of troops within, our limits, and finally demanded the recall of Genet, -who had persevered in his efforts, notwithstanding the objections of Govern ment. Thus was our neutrality established and maintained by the just and noble men who had led us through years of war to a tri umphant peace, and were then intent in completing their work by securing to the infant commonwealth a place among the nations of the earth. This was done at a time when we might have been taxed with ingratitude, yet France acknowledged the justice of our position by withdrawing the obnoxious ambassador. The event caused no injury to the amicable relations previ ously existing between the two nations, while at home public opinion supported the decision of the Government. More recently, the nation has been asked to interfere in behalf of an infant republic. Individually we felt and exhibited much sympathy for the cause, and admiration for the laborers in the work, but although the country was at that moment in enjoyment of boundless prosperity and uninterrupted peace, no national recognition was ever given to Hungary. The policy which obtained the sanction of our best and greatest men in 1793, and has been maintained uninterruptedly ever Since, is still most fitting in the complex relations of 1865. We are just emerging from a fiery trial, in which onr points of weakness have been exposed and our strength triumphantly vindicated. The Union which our fathers labored to strengthen has proved victorious over all assailants,' and is now being rapidly re established in more than its pristine vigor. The work of reconstruction presents a no ble field for exertion to the earnest and patriotic, and it has problems worthy of solution .by the wisest and best, while the establishment of order and industry in our war-desolated districts will furnish employ ment to vast numbers of laborers. Even the most superficial view of the con dition of affairs will show that the United States has a good deal of work pressing on her hands just at present, and we would hdvise her generally and individually to give it her undivided attention. Emancipation iu Kentucky. We are rejoiced to notice that the people of Kentucky are being awakened by the appeals of their statesmen and editors, to a sense of the folly of attempting to per- . It needs tu foretell the speedy extinction of that insti tution. Come weal or woe it must be de stroyed. The same irresistible power that willed the overthrow of the rebellion has de creed the destruction ofits primal cause, and prejudices, old habits, and petty opposi tion will all be as completely mastered as the aimed forces of treason. Jr Fortunately, emancipation is a triple blessing. It blesses the nation that de crees it, - the master who yields up his slave, and the slave who gains the boon of liberty. We speak not of exceptional cases, but of general results; and no better proof of the truth of our position need be given than the relative wealth of the free and slave States of this Union at the com mencement of the war, and the results of a conflict in which the superiority of the North was so signally demonstrated. The question has been well tested in cases where climate,, soil, and all other cir cumstances were so alike as to silence those old objections, that seem so weighty, as to the absolute necessity for the services of a negro slave population working class. For instance, Kentucky strongly resembles that vigorous band of growing States only separated from her by the Ohio river. There can be no physical reasons why she should not be as prosperous as Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio, or rather there are many circumstances that should have made her excel them. Kentucky, originally, had great advan tages of soil, and in the peculiar face of the country and variety of subterranean riches. Her agriculturejmites her rather with the West than the South, whose special pro ducts of sugar, rice, and cotton she can not cultivate to any great extent. This is demonstrated by the census of 1860, where she is cited aB raising twenty-four thousand pounds of rice, four thousand bales of cot ton, and no sugar or molasses. So meagre fl return of exclusively Southern products renders it necessary to consider her as bet- ter fitted to tie agriculture of the middle -western tier of States, and jassfeapffT&f Seiu** fitting comparison ifiirfth Ohio, which arly the sarsf^xtent—Ohio contain from *ll4' forty-four thousand square miles, affair* h»fcntucky forty-one thousand square area ‘ down the river the contrast is —?y striking—on the one hand, Ohio, "blooming and glorious under the enlight ened culture that drapes her hillßides in a purple shadow, not due to distance but to the luxuriant vines bending under their purple burden, and changes her yallies into gardens of bloom, where every plant is a tree of luscious fruit. Large cities, magni cent villas, wealthy farms, extensive vine yards, follow each other in dazzling suc cession; while on the other hand, looms Kentucky, deserted, until the contrast even compelled the confes sion from the rebel Breckinbidgb. Behold 1 free and slave labor. Yes, there they stand, one all the more fair and the other the more foul for the proximity, with the broad, bine, peaceful waters of the Ohio flowing between. Bnt the striking difference in the results -of the two systems of culture is shown by ‘ the fact that in 1860 the unimproved land in Ohio was to the improved as only eight ■ to twelve, while in Kentucky it was as eleven to seven; and the cash value of the farms of Ohio was represented at six hundred and sixty-six millions, and that of Kentucky at two hundred and ninety one millions of dollars. Only the curse of slavery could have blighted noble old Kentucky, with her grand mountains of mineral wealth, fruit ful valleys and advantages of position, bor dered as she is by the two grand rive* com. municafions to the West and South. Ken tucky also had the advantage of earlier settlement, having 73,077 of a total popula tion in 1790, while Ohio had only 3,000. Yet in 1810 Ohio had risen to more than half the population of her older neighbor, and by 1820 outnumbered considerably her . total population, and by 1860 was become more than three times as great. •Such an increase as this—from one-twen tieth to three times the total in seventy years—offers a fair presentment of how slave and free labor will ever compete on that broad, open way that leads to wealth, and truly decides which must be the victor in the race of riches. The subject and the contrast might be dwelt upon much further, and illustrations repeated to infinity, but the same result will always be reached and the same pro portion maintained between the success of the two systems. -Truly does the Louis ville Journal denounce slavery as a upas tree that has poisoned the whole State, and magnificently will its removal reward her citizens in future for any present loss they may sustain by emancipation. The Days of Chivalry are Gone. Nothing has done so much to intoxicate the Southern leaders, and to weaken the Southern people, as the idea that because they lived upon the labor of others, and owned property in human flesh and blood, therefore they were a superior class of beings. From this easy and fatal philo sophy grew nearly all the chief evils that have afflicted the country, and plunged it into civil war. No more eloquent argu ment in favor of industry could be furnished than in the page which describes the destroy ing influence of luxury and idleness in the Southern States. But the days of this false chivalry are gone. The insolent and arro gant politicians of the South, and their echoes in the North, who ridiculed Mr. Lincoln’s passage through Baltimore, in February, 1861, when they alleged he was disguised in a Scotch cap, in order to evade ihe vigilant malevolence of the traitor spies, fere now profitably remembered and fittingly contrasted with the cowardly expedient of their own leader, Jefferson Davis, when he sought a dishonorable and humiliating garb to baffle his pursuers. And Jeffer son Davis was the best type of the chival ry. His contemptible fate will not close the category. He was largely preceded. SfJDELL and Mason, having folded up their robes of state, are now lying quietly perdu , in London and Paris, Soijle is a refugee in Mexico, Gwin a willing wan derer at foreign watering places. Of all of the South Carolina fire-eaters and hot spurs scarcely one is left to tell the tale of that race of ineffable gaseous. Poor old Mr. Aiken alone tries to eke out pro tection from his Government by a sort of half surrender to its power, Breckinridge, having failed to carry Ken tuck into treason, dare not return to his own home at Lexington. The false Go vernor Brown, of Georgia, is a prisoner. The cheating Governor Vance, of North Carolina, is a fugitive. Memorable Extra Billy Smith, the late Governor of Vir ginia, has nowhere tes lay his head. Kikby Smith has raised the guerilla banner in Southern Louisiana. Jack Magbudeb is preparing to, get from Texas to France with the money he has coined by blockade-running. R. M. T. Hunter, the cold and callous pleader for State Rights, willingly accepts the safety of a Union guard, and hides his grief in unavoidable submission. Robert M. Mc- Lean, who had fixed the Susquehanna as the dividing line between the North and South, sailed from our shores a few weeks ago, and will remain abroad, it is supposed, for ever. Pbice of Missouri, Pike of Ar kansas, Nicholson of Tennessee, Cobb of Georgia, Wigpall of Texas, A. G. Rbown of Mississippi, all and more of the same school, the beau ideals of society, and wealth, and refinement—in fact, the creme la creme of the chivalry—are either pre paring to go or preparing to come in and yield to the conquering Government of the United States. May we not repeat that the days of chivalry are gone ? X/incoln and the Common People. We deem it almost a superfluity to state that we employ this latter phrase in no disparaging or invidious sense.’ Of the World’s Redeemer it was affirmed that “the common people heard him gladly.” The purpose is not, of course, to divide men into classes, or between them to draw damaging distinctions. The word “em *>*»,” as here employed, serves rather to vu* uocry w men as contradistinguished from the select few—those who, by reason of abounding cares, severe physical toils, and want of leisure and opportunity, are not elevated above their fellows in regard to wealth, learning, or other artifical advantages. Under our benign institutions, from the midst of these undistinguished masses, the most “ common ” men have risen to posi tions of rank and influence remarkably un common. Such a man, for example, was Andbew Jackson, a sort of Melchisbdek in the State, “without father or mother,” or boasted line of descent, wholly outside the Aaronic order of the political priesthood, who, by dint of native genius and perse vering industry, from the humblest ob scurity rose to the highest honor of the American Republic. Such another man is Andrew Johnson— -in name, locality, character, and political identity almost the other’s duplicate. And such a man, too, in a pre-eminent sense, was Abraham Lincoln. To em ploy a phrase, more expressive than ele gant, he was not “bom with a silver spoon in his mouth.” He sprang from the very loins of the masses as unmistakably as did Adam from tbe plastic hand of God, or Mi nerva from the head of Jupiter. He was one of the people, and well the people knew it. Hence, he loved them, and they him, with an enthusiasm that stood more in dan ger of transcending the bounds of modera tion, than of falling Bhort of it. Deeply were we impressed with this fact, when, shortly after the assassination, we strolled leisurely through some of the humbler lo calities of our great city. The dwellings along the wealthy and fashionable tho roughfares, it is true, afforded demonstra tive proof that the death of Lincoln was sincerely lamented; but the tokens of sor row, it seemed to ns, were not near so im pressive nor so universal as along the by streets, courts,_ ajnd alleys; Here every . habitation; even the rudest and humblest, was draped with tokens of grief. It is, in deed, not to be doubted, that to procure mourning material many of these poor peo ple expended almost their laßt shilling. To these proofs of the genuine and unfeigned attachment of the toiling masses to our great and good President we shall ever recur with a glow of honest pride, as hono rable alike to the living and the dead. Fbom mobe than one of the gentler sex have we heard utterances of indignant protest against the base uses to which “ the President''' (as Mrs. J. D. good-naturedly styled her “ liege lord”) saw fit to degrade their ancient and honored costume. Not only do they regard his assumption of it in the light of an unwarrantable interference with their " vested rights," but as a gross indignity to their sex. They aver that this sort of covering was never designed to enclose the carcass of a rebel, great or small—least of all that of a male rebel. Recognition. —Davis has been anxious for a long time to be “recognized” by France and England. In his metamor phosed appearance, except for his boots, he might not have been recognized by the Michigan cavalrymen. Of course, when his oldest acquaintances, in close proximi ty, find it so difficult to recognize him, all hope of recognition from across the Atlan tic must be given up. “Go it, Boots,” is one the classical phrases belonging to the vocabulary of the Street, .the origin or meaning whereof we do not altogether comprehend. Since these pedal appendages have led to the detection and arrest of Davis, the phrase will possess additional significance. i’HE first pictorial representation of “Jeff” in female attire appeared yester day from a display-board on Chestnut street, above Fourth. Give the caricaturists a week’s time, and they will do up “ the President ” in every variety of style. The run of J, D. in the, vicinity of Irwinsville, Georgia; so completely eclipses Bull Bun, that we doubt whether of the latter we shall hereafter hear much, even from rebel sources. ; . Mexican Finance. The new-Empire of Mexico starts with a respectable national debt. The annual interest payable thereon amounts to about $20,000,000 (not including the annual charge for sundry sinking funds), bu) the entire annual income of the State, from every source of revenue, is considerably under $10,000,000, and, therefore, is in adequate to pay even half the interest on the debt. If applied towards that purpose there would not remain one dollar to defray the cost of maintaining the Government, sup porting the army, and carrying on the war. The whole debt of Mexico amounts to over 317 million dollars— of which the greater part is oweiug in Europe, the. six per cent, internal Mexican debt being no more than 35 million dollars. There are due 50 millions on account of the old English 8 per cent, loan; 25 millions of 3 per cent, stock, created in 1864 for settlement of over-due coupons of the old foreign loan; 30 millions for admitted claims of foreigners, leaving interest at- 6 per cent.; 65 millions due to France for war-expenses up to 31st March, 1865, and 5 millions of interest thereupon to be annually paid; 63 millions for the Anglo-French loan of 1864; and 50 millions dollars for the 6 per’ceut. Lottery Loan of 1865, wholly taken up in France, because of the British laws against lotteries and gambling. The total national indebtedness of Mexico, therefore, exceeds $317,000,000; the interest payable on this amounts to $20,000,000; "the entire revenue of the country, from all ordinary sources, is much below $10,000,000, or half the in terest on the debt, without leaving a single dollar to maintain the Government and support the army. These facts show a condition of financial affairs in Mexico to which, for feebleness and instability, a pa rallel can no where be found. Such a con dition can have only one resuit—a speedy dissolution of the mushroom empire, and an early return of the Archduke Maximilian to his amiable relations and affectionate friends in Austria. The “ empire” cannot stand. The point most to be wondered at is, Napoleon’s having allowed any of his subjects to trust their money In the Lottery Loan fox $50,000,000 just subscribed for, chiefly in Pariß. He has not guaranteed, however, that the interest on this new •Loan will be paid. It is impossible that, with Mexican finance so utterly embarrassed, Napoleon can seriously think of upholding the “empire" he created. Very soon, in all probability, he will abandon all occupa tion of the eastern cities and provinces of Mexico, seize Sonora and Cinaloa as “a material guarantee” for the $65,000,000 which he spent on this attempt to convert a republic into an empire, and endeavor to obtain a footing, by means of occupa tion and colonization, on the Pacific sea board. LETTER PROM “ OCCASIONAL,” Washington, May 17,1865. The axiom that “ Truth is stranger than fiction " is having a very forcible il lustration in the trial of the conspirators. Those of us who have doubted the proba bility of some of Mrs. Wood's novels, and the creations of those imitated by herself, and of the hundreds who have imitated her, have only to read the pages of the testi mony in this same trial to discover the ma terial for a library of sensation literature. It is not the eminence of the victim, or the manner of the assassination, or the successful murder -itself or the irreparable national loss that has been sustained, that will alone shock the sensi bility and stamp and rivet the memory of mankind. The providential finding out of the assassins and their accomplices will most excite the surprise and gratify the love of justice in the human mind. The preparations for the deed were marvellous ly ingenious and comprehensive. They had beenjong concocting. They required time, travel, money. As much thought was_fiiven_to_thpjo..oo-*«- me plan of a great campaign. The agents were bold, conscienceless, and well-paid. But no thing could escape the keen scent, swift pur suit, and terrible vigilance of the Govern ment. In less than a week the distin guished Judge Advocate General held the clue to the dreadful mystery. Before the illustrious Lincoln was buried, his murderer was caught and killed. In less than a month Jefferson Davis is seized in his wife’s petticoats, and on his way to pri son. Before that justice which seems to be inspired with almost supernatural powers, and aimed as with the panoply of Fate itself, the suspected fly, the implicated yield, and the guilty confess. Observe how the ball of proof is gradually un winding its fatal threads. Booth is lamed by his leap, which prevents rapid travel; and so the wretch, reckless of his own life, in his hot haste to steal away the casket that contained our most precious jewel, is forced to stop to mend his leg to escape detection. The surgeon who setß it proves to be his accomplice 1 Every hour. of the. examination, however, adds a new wonder to, and reveals a new evidence of the tragedy. The boy that holds the-horse is a more eloquent orator for the right than the pistol used to expel the sacred life. The sodden carpenter of the theatre can not be a better accuser of the dead savage who ruled him, if out of his white lips he shrieked ten thousand confessions. And the woman-fiend herself, voiceless and stolid, is like one who speaks from the. tomb. We need no words from her; her works have told the horrid talc. The busy tools Of the rebellion were everywhere. They had money and accessories with out limit. Booth himself conferred with Sanders at Montreal, though in the foul letter of Sanders he vehemently de nied all knowledge of the assassin. And it is almost as certain, and equally proba ble, that' the carefully-dressed plotter saw the statesmen Jacob Thompson and Clement C. Clay in the same Capitol. Why he was there, need not be asked. Thus, one fact after the other is disclosed to the light. That which has made some of our good friends nervous, viz: whether his “ Christian” Majesty, Lord Davis, and his pious .associates, knew of this bloody plot, begins tp assume a somewhat very serious shape. And what renders it probable is the admitted fact that they knew of the undermining of “Libby” prison; the barbarities to their Union cap tives ; the attempts to burn our cities, and to throw off trains from railroads; and the mutilation of the dead Union soldiers. All these atrocities, worthy only of cannibals or wild beasts, were most vehemently de nied till they were established and clinch ed by confession, by admission, and by direct affidavit" or oath; so. that, even with out the process of extracting the facts by the military commission, the foreknow ledge of the assassination of Mr. Lincoln and his Cabinet, and the approval of it, would seem to be in exact harmony with the sanction given to the crimes that preceded and paved the way for it. Bat the facts in the possession of the com mission will be important enclosing the mouthß of those who contend that onr "Christian President,” to use the lan guage of Sanders and Tucker, could never favor so wicked a suggestion as that Of taking the life of Abraham Lincoln.

SCANDALOUS ATTEMPT ~TO IN FECT THE NOBTH. Yellow Fever to be Introduced into New York. EXAMINATION OF AN ACCOMPLICE. THE CRIME COMPLETELY PROVEN. The Bermuda Advocate of April 26 conialnß a very full report of the examination of a Mr. Swan, who was a confederate of Dr. Blaokbnra in the atrocious “ttempt to lhtrodnoe the yellow fever Into New York, at the Instigation of rebel offloers. Wo sub join a condensation of the report: ' Mr:Thles, president of the Boardor Health for the town of St. George, deposed substantially as follows: On the 10th Inst., I was Informed bp Charles M. Allen, United States consul, that there was secreted In the house of one Edward Swan, aresldent of this • town, three trunks said to contain Clothing Infected with yellow fever, and I was requested by Mr, Allot not to move immediately In the case, anti that he would convey to me additional Information. On the 12th Inst, a meeting or the Board of Health was con vened, and the circumstances of the case were made known to them by me. Alter considerable Inquiry Into the matter, It was decided that two members of the said Board of Health, accompanied by the Town Inspector, should enter the premises of the said Swan, and obtain, If possible, thb reported clothing; on arriving at the house of the said Swan, I told him the objest of our visit, and after some demnr he acknowledged that he did have In his possession three trunks which answered the de scription given of them by me; I requested to see them, and he assentedl then told him I-wlshed him to deliver the three tranks to me, and after some delay he agreed to do so on my promising to give Mm a reoelpt for them, and that lu case the report was unfounded, they would be returned to him; I asked him In presence of Mr. Fox, a member of the Board, and Nathaniel Jaoison, Town In spector, of whom he obtained the package, and he said by or through one Dr. Blackburn ; the tranks were then taken In charge by the Inspector and placed In the custody of the police; by his direction they were destroyed. The marks were as follows: On the portmanteau, “St. laonls Hotel, Upper Town, Quebecanother ticket on the same was, “ dittos House, Niagara Falls, Canada side.” Mr. Edward O. Swan said: The three trunks were placed In my possession by the request of Dr. Blackburn, and he requested me to keep them until his return. He said in case he did not return I should receive compensation from Confederate Go vernment officers. Benjamin Borland sworn —I am health officer Tor the east end of these Islands; on the 13th Inst. 1 was called by the president of the Board of Health to inspect the contents of a green trank, a leather. Sortmantean, and a black truik; I proceeded to ren-sneh Island, With Instructions that tf, on ex amining the three tranks said to contain clothing, I should be ot the opinion that; they contained In fection, that I should have .them burled; In the several tranks I found sundry articles of clothing, and made an Inventory o( the more suspicions arti cles ; a white blanket, nearly new, bat oovered with dark stains—some large, others small they bore all the traces or having been used In a slok chamber; the stains resembled those from " black vomit :» the next thing was an old clothes-bag, and Anally, at tbo bottom of the trunk, a sheet very extensively stained; some of the stains were or a dark color, otters yellow, as If from mustard; there were marks on the trunk, but l did not regard them, and took no notice of them; the portmanteau contained a woolen shawl, old, bnt fkee from stains, then a pair of drawers, very dirty, with yellow stains, as If from mustard, then socks, a pocket-handkerohlef, coat, and trousers, all worn and dirty, next a quantity of guernseys, apparently new and unworn, two pillow-, slips, very much soiled, and a shirt, stained as tf from port wine, and Anally a sheet at the bottom, stained all over with some kind of a dark color— others lighter; the black trank was corded and looked; I tonnd In It a Bbirtand guernsey, stained and very dirty; then a white pocket-handkerchief, with darn-colored stains, and a fat l &ark spots such as would be produced by black Vbnilt; next a bandage of linen, deeply stained by mustard; then two blankets, quite free irom stains, bnt not new blankets; next a pair of drawers and sooks, much wont and dirty; and, lastly, two pillow-slips on the bottom, also stained, as If lrom perspiration. I oonßldered the articles to be of a suspicious character, as many of them had been used In a siok chamber, and I or dered them to ba-bnrled; there were addresses, I think, on all the trnnks,bnt I took no notice of them; tbe green trunk was full, but It could have contained more. I considered the articles to.be of a very suspicions character, particularly when I re member the epidemic of last year ; but whether they were removed from yellow-fever patients or not, I cannot say. If infection existed. It most bave pervaded all tbe articles In the tranks. . Another witness, Mr. G- P. Black, on being sworn, deposed as follows: On or about the Both of Septem ber last, when the mall steamer was about leaving for Halil ax, Dr. I. P. Blackburn told me that be bad left some trunks with a men by the name of Edward O. Swan, who had been recommended to him on account of his Aoeutv; he then told me he had made a contract with the said Swan; that he had paid him $260 on aacount of It, and that the balance of the money— an additional s26o—he was to pay the said Swan in the fnlAlment of hts con tract. which was to carry the trunks he alluded to to New York city during the present spring—but that, as he had some doubts as to ais JideUiy, he might. after ke arrived in Halifate, change his mwid ; if so, he tooUtA.. send me an order on Swan for the tranks, and re quested me. If he did send them to Halifax,,,. Frederick Bnukstaff ;-wornr— Mr. Swan told me what the trunks contained. And repeated a conversation he had with Hr, Blackburn, andwhtohwas to the effect that, lie clothing fn;!Sc trunks came from yellow-fever patients, and that they were intended to be sent to New York or Philadelphia, , or it may hove been to both places; he, also tola me that Dr. Blackburn had promised him a remunera tion of $l6O a month; Mr. Swan, told me tSat Dr. Blackburn had informed him that the-fntennps of sending the clothing to New York was for the destruc tion of the masses there; Swan told me he knew (he contents of the trunks from what Dr. Blackburn had told him; he spoke to me of his intention of going to the magistrates about the trunks; he also told me he was afraid to expose them,urn he had nothing •but Dr. Blackburn’s word about their contents, Md ■ he wonld prefer waiting his return; Mr. Swan said he was afraid If he exposed the tranks, and too charge was not proved, Dr. Blackburn might prose onteblm. Dinah Amory sworn.—l reside In the town of Ha milton, In Pembroke Parish; lam In tha habit of horsing Invalids; curing the late epldemlo I was engaged In that oapacliy; I attended come at the Hamilton Hotel, viz: Mr. and Mrs. Crowell tad a colored woman, one of the servants of the hotel; Dr, Bees attended Mr. and Miss Crowell, and Dr. Blackburn attended the housemaid j Dr. B'iaokbnm said she most have more covering, and be. sweated more; when Dr. Bleehbnrn returned, and found I had not put any extra blankets or covering over her, he seemed annoyed, and told me to oome to his room, where he gave me some guernsey coats, trou sers, and different things, alt of them being woollen, and laid them over her. and around her, as ha said, to prevent the air getting to her; he put the things on the top of the bed-clothes ; daring the night the woman was so exhausted by the sweating and the weight of the clothes that I removed them down to her feet, and when he returned, at * o'clock on Sun day morning, he scolded me for doing so; he then took all of me things and placed (hern back in hit ttuvk; Dr. Blackburn eaid ihe woman was suffering fcm yellow fever, which was broke in about twenty four hours. * . Francis Cameron sworn.—l reside at Hamilton and have lived there all my life; I,nursed several patlente with yellow fever daring the epidemic of lest year; I nursed one at the Hamilton Hotel, and four at Mrs. Slater’s; three of the oases ware very bad. and two died out of the four at Mrs. Slater's; Hr. Blackburn attended one of the patients that I nursed—a detain Galloway, of the Confederate army; he was one that died; I only attended him trom eight o’clock on Sunday night, and he died at a quarter to one on Tuesday morning; after he was dead, Captain Stevens—Mrs. Slater’s son-in-law— ashed what was to be done with the clothes; and then Dr. Blackburn told me to *' go out of the room, for a little while Captain Stevens Immediately followed me, and gave me directions to go at once and see abont his being burled; when I returned, about an boor aftewards, I found the dead body shrouded, but I saw nothing of the clothes; I don’t know what became of them. Mr. W. Stevens and Mrs. Slater deposed to sub stantially the seme roots. Joseph Heoda.n Kalnry sworn.—l resMO at pre sent in this town; last year I was living at the Ha milton Hotel; I was bar-keeper and barbel; there were several cases of the yellow fever at the hotel; Dr. Bees and Dr- Tnoker attended some of the pa tlents; and Dr. Blackburn attended a woman,-one of the ohambermaldS In the house; after leaving the house he went to Halifax; I know he went there, fee oause.l went In the same boat with him; when he drat came to the house he had one trank, but when he left he -had more; I don’t know anything personally about Dr. Blaokbutn while at the hotel, bat I beard some things from the nurse who attended the pa tient he was attending that I thought was strange; the nurse asked me if I did not think it strange that Dr. Blackburn Should put so jnuch' woollen clothing round Mary {the tick woman), and then have them all pocked in his trunk with blankets ; Dr. Blackburn's baggage was all sent to St. Georges the day be fore no left the hotel; I saw a portion of the bagaage the next day at Mr. Swan's; 1 saw Dr. Blackburn at Mr. Swan’s theday he lelt for Halifax; lam con fident I heard Dr. Blackburn tell Swan to see thathe attended to the shipping of the baggage left behind by the first opportunity. On considering the foregoing testimony, the ma gistrates deemed it advisable to send the case to the Attorney General for prosecution before the Conrt or General Assizes or Quarter Sessions, at either of which he may see fit to indict E. O. Swan, who. was remanded to the jail in St. George, there to be kept until summoned to appear, until he should enter Into full and sufficient recognizance himself in the snm of £6O, with two sureties of £25 each, for his appearance.
