a vessel. River pilots will accompany
her from New York to New Orleans and
take charge of her there. Capt. Joe
Barker will command her.
Judge Lac land, counsel for defense
in the Donaldion case, began to speak at
10:30 this morning and finished at five
this evening. He opened by laying
down the principles of the law governing
criminal and civil prosecutions, pointing
out the differences between them,
and laid much stress upon the
fact that the criminal law rests
upon the idea that it is better for
ninety-nine guilty men to go unpunished
than that one innocent man_should suf
fer. Hence it is the rule that if the jury
entertain a reasonable doubt of the guilt
of the accused.lie is entitled to the benefit
of that doubt. Ho then proceeded to ie.
view and comment on the testimony of
the witnesses for the prosecution. He said
-Moa k but. ...g - rY. Hend-over had sworn.
to -anything VS` inculpate DonaldsOn,
and Ise Would 'endeavor to."conyince
the jury that theae men were not en
titled to belief.at all. - He would impeach
- their testimony in three modes; first, by
their inconsistency with each other, sec
dud, by their inconsistency with them
selves, and third, by their general bad
characters. He elaborated these proposi
tions very ably and made one of the best
speeches- ever made iu our criminal
court, He proceeded upon the theory
that Glover and Ray committed the mur
der, and charged it upon Donaldson. He
claimed that, the defense had shown
that Donaldson was not on the boat at
the time of the shooting, and that unim
peachable witnesses had proved the fact.
He drew a tine picture of the amiable
and noble character of the stemmed, and
said It was impossible for such a'man
to commit Such a crime, unlelis he had
suddenly become possessed of the devil.
Charles P. Johnson, Circuit Attorney
followed Judge Lackland, be inning at
at 5:30, and made a very powe ful effort.
He showed that Ray, who wa now ac
cused of being a bad character, had been
employed by Donaldsen himself in a re
sponsible position, and that. Glover and
Ray had made statements tha bore tin
mistakable marks of trutti. It was
an utter impossibility fOr them
to "fabricate the story they related.
He exposed the bad logic of the defense,
in charging the crime upon Ray and
Glover. If they were the murderers,
why bad"Donaldsonts lawyers run them
away to Canada and across the sea, to
prevent them from testifying? If Don
aldson, was not oh the boat when the
murder was committed, why did they
not bring witnesses to prove where he
was? •
The jury retired at 11 o'clock and after
about three quarters of an hour returned
with a verdict of "not guilty." The an
nouncement was received ' with great
cheering from the crowd present, and
Mrs. Donaldson, who was with her bus
. I band, fainted.

Law vs. Farce.
We do not propose to go int• a mete
physical disquisition Upbta' the question •
of law against force, but merely to relate
a casein which one was arraigned against"
the other, and promise to give the result
of the contest when it is determined. ,
Jeremiah, .James and Marcus Force
and Henry Sullivan, it is alleged, are in
the lottery • busbaess in this city, and a;
few days since, H. W. McKee, of Bir
mingham, alleges that he purchased a
number of lottery tickets from them.
Mr. McKee, we presume, failed to draw
prize, and, as men usually do under such
circustances, came to the conclusionthat
.the-affairxas a swindle, whereupon he
appeared before Justice Lipp, of Birming
barn, "Yesterday,:' and made ,infermation
charging the parties named with selling
lottery tickets, Whieh under the laws of.
this State is a penal offence. Warrants
were issued for the arrest of the accused
and so far the law has the upper hand of
I force,,but a hearing may change the sta
