MONDAY MORNING, JULY I6, 1897:

We have the pleasure this morning, to Lay
before our readers, Mr.. Clay's promised reply
to the charges preferred against him BY Gene
raj Jackson in a large company Of Pilgrims al
"Hermitage," and afterwards 10 letter to ms
agent, Carter Beverly. The Secretary has con-
6ned himself, as we believed he would do,to
simple denial Of the truth of each anc every
.h,rge and insinua,ion contained in his ac-
cuser's letter, reservins his commentaries

is near at hand, when the assassi" oil our ora''

CIRCUIT COURT.

Judge Edwards concluded his charge 10 inc
Jury about Q O'Clock yesterday. The Judge
commenced by stating the nature OF the case'
the names of the defendants, and the compa-
MICS they were charged with having de'raudea.
In order to authorize a conviction, he said u
was not necessary to prove that the companies
were really defrauded. If they did conspire IN
the manner charged in the indictment, 1t was
suH;cient-it was not necessary to prove the con-
spiracy 10 the extent charged, though 1t was
necessary that the offence proved should oe
within the scope Of the Indictment. In crImi-
nal cases. he said, before jury could arrive at
verdict Of guilty, they must be SATISFIED 'nat
the defendant is guilty II, after iuil ana lar
elaboration tkey should be satished OF MS III,
nocence, or if they should entertain lar ana
reasonable doubt, it was their duty 10 acqui''
This was in accordance with the spirit OF OUT
law, which prefers that ten guilty men sno IS.
escape, than one innocent man suHer' u, ,
Judge then drew a distinction between civil
and criminal cases, in relation to the weisnl
of testimony where nearly balanced. &c con-
s,;,u,e the offence, he said, two things were
reouisi,c: LIST. a conspiracy, and Cd, consPl-
r,ev win corruot and unlawful intent
The nudge then entered at large into the testl'
mony. Commencing with the Life and IRE.
He first expressed his regret at the change IN
the order of sending the cases to the jury; that
the decision on that subject at the commence,
ment of the trial was matter OF serious ana
deliberate reflection; that the cases Of Messrs;
Vermilyea and Davis might have been placed
before them without involving that OF
Mir. Barker; but, that his case was connect
| ed with ALL and that, therefore, he must. IN
his charge, indulge in comments on their
cases. He wished, however, the jury to re-
member that their cases were not yet be-
fore them; tina, the counsel Of those deien.
dan,s had not yet had an opportunity OF
being heard, and 10 keep their minds open
Phenix gazette. [volume] (Alexandria [D.C.]) 1825-1833, 1827-07-16

to any explanation that might hereafter be made
by them. The Judge then recapitulated the
lestling points of the testimony in relation TO
the Life and Fire, animadverting- in severe
terms, on the conduct of Davis and Vermilyea,
for whom he cited no extenuating eircumstan-
ces He then aHalized the evidence tending to
connect Mr. Barker with that company He
then adverted 10 the Morris Canal, wherein he
again censured, in severe terms, the conduct of
Mr. Vermilyea. The Fulton and Tradesmen's
Banks were next mentioned, and the leading
points adyerted to- He then took up the testi.
mony for the defence. The affidayits in rcla.
ton to the testimony Of Gen. Swift, he said,
were to be taken as il he had been personally
present. The Judge then recapitulated several
prominent facts in favor of Mr.. Barker, and
concluded the testimony. He then addressed
the jury generally-"it had been urged he
said, shat there was prejudice existing in
this community against Mr.. Rarker. II SO,
dismiss it from your minds. Contemplate MIR.
Barker as ,houg:, you had never before seen or
heard Of him. Remember that you are no far
ther to yield TO conclusions than such as may
be fairly drawn from testimony. If, after all,
having fully and fairly eanvassed the whole evil
dence, you are still Of the opinion that they are
guilty, in the name of justice say so, But, on
the other hand, if you entertain any reasonable
doubt, do not surrender him a victim TO the
laws. Justice delights not in the conviction OF
the innoceAt-move with caution-pronounce
not your verdict on general grounds, but ana
lie and sift tho whole testimony, and it you
should not then arrive at clear conclusion that
they are guilty, acquit them. But on the 9th.
er hand if from the whole evidence you are still
Of the opinion that they are guilty, however
painful the duty, say 500.
The jury came into Court this morning, and
returned verdict Of Guilty against Mr. Bark
er. We understand exceptions have been
taken. The principal are, that The indictment
is void and illegal, and second, that the verdict
is against evidence.

INDIANA


The state Of Indiana contains $4,000 square
miles and 25,6so,o acres, ranking with the
other states as the tenth in size and the!hfteenth
in population Its greatest length from north
to south on its west line is 2sl miles, its length
ON the east line is 1856, averaging 256 miles.
Its breadth from east to west is l44 miles. The
state is divided into So counties, of which, all
but two have been organized. The population
in 1910 was 1880; in 1920, 47,s6s; and at
present from the returns Of taxable polls, must
amount to at least 100000. The militia in
1921 was returned at 1890. 1t now consists
Of divisions, l6 brigades and 6! regiments.
The most striking feature in the appearance
of the state, is itsuniformly level surface. 1t
has no mountains, and no part OF 1t can be call
ed broken except where the river hills border
on the Ohio, or are continued along some of the
streams that empty into it. These hills must be
OF nearly the same elevation with great part
of the interior of the State, for no sensible dit.
ference in height appears in passing along their
ridges, nor is there perceptible ascent In go.
ing thence to the sources of the streams, that
form the White river and the Wabash. Near
the Ohio the streams generally run III deep
channels, but they are nearly on level with
the adjoining country in the central part OF the
state. "Thc Knobs" or the chain Of hills that
extends from the Ohio little below the Falls,
to the waters of White-rver, is also nearly on
level with the country lying south west OF them
though the descent thence to the Ohio is more
rapid than the declination of the country in the
interior, for as you advance towards or down
the Wabash, THE decent is scarcely perceived.
The same may be said Of the ST. Mary's, st 10,
seph's and other streams that fall into the
Lakes. Indiana Journal.

BOLIVAR.

our readers may have remarked, that we
have been slow TO believe in the reports, which
have been afioat, that the ambition Of BOLIVAR
extended bevond the elective Magis,racy Of his
Country. Some suspicious were indeed excit-
ed by the feature Of the Constitution which he
devised for the new Republic of BOLIVIA in Up
per Peru, 5y which the President is to hold his
Office for life, and nominate his successor. This
looked very much like Monarchy under the
name Of Republic. We were willing 10 be-
Iieye, however, that there was something pecu-
liar in The character Of that People, which JUS
tilted the I.iberator in the belief that at this
time they were not prepared Tor form Of Gov
crnment purely Republican
Recent advices from COLOMBIA, however, from
the most respectable sources, give out, that b.
livar designs, il possible, to establish the same
form Of Government also in that Country and
in Peru: to unite these Republics with Bolivia
jn,o General Confederacy, and he himself
made President over the whole, for life, with
mower to nominate his successor. He intended
tits said, to carry this plan into effect immedl
a,ely after his return from Peru, but he found
the Other members of the Adminisuatio so
opposed TO il that he was prevailed upon 10 sus-
pend his purpose, for time, and wait for The
Grand Cony ention Of Colombia to consult on q
reform Of the present Constitution After the
disorders produced by the Instruction Of PAEz
he took upon himself the extraordinary pow
ers allowed by the Constitution, in cases OF ex'
ieency; in other words, assumed Dictator
sSip, in which he acted withou, the control OF
Congress Since that time, we learn, he has
IMPOSED restrictions on the Press, forbidding
any papers to be published which shall contain
structures on his proceedings. Comment on
such a measure as this is hardly necessary
The Government, or the cause, which breads
the influence Of the Press, fears the light, and
NAV be presumed to covet concealment for
deeds, that, il known, would reflect no credit on
those who commit them.
We shall be glad 10 find these auguries dis
appointed. We shall be glad TO learn that the
restrictions upon the press are temporary mere
~, and called for by existing circumstances OF
anarchy and civil war. Inter arma silent Rges,
is dangerous maxim for Republics, but even
in Republic we can sonceiUe its application TO
be iusli6abe, though we hope never to see so
trirsms case occur. five have mistaken the
''SIens Of the Times" in regard to the views OF
The Liberator, we need not say, it will give us
the greatest pleasure to retract the suspicious
which we have. but very recently suffered TO in
wade our mind in respect to them.

From the Baltimore Patriot.

LATEST FROM RIO DE JANEiRO.
The brig Delaware has arrived at Philadel-
phia, bringing intelligence down 10 the 2eth
January inclusive, which will be found In the
following extracts from letters received by a
commercial house in Baltimore, with which the
editor Of the Patriot has been favored.
I9,o de Janeiro Jan. 2e.--Since our respects Of
Cd and 18th inst we have had a number Of ar
rivals with -four and salt provisions. OF the
latter some sales have been made at I'LL for beef,
and IAN for pork, on months. One lot has
been disposed Of, deliverable at Mon,evideo, at
l2I and ISL on board. Our -four market is ex-
tremely dull, the sales Of last month are only
about $500 bbls and the stock on hand may be
loa 1900. We have sold Baltimore wharf
a, Oil on time, Howard street at II; other brands
ION a lol5oo. Some importations Of grain
have furnished substitute more favorable 10
the bakers. We do rot look for any notable
improvement in this market for any thing as
long as the war with Buenos Ayres lasts; the
necessities of the government call Tor large
and continued issue Of Bank paper, which has
SO much deprecated by the excessive amount
