day spread upon our columns the long account from
the N. Y.Sun. This Is ths best and most minute
statement 81 the affair that we have Since this

some of which we should be glad 10 publish we had

question more difficult Of solution. A few days will
determine what the jury will do as their trial is pro-
baby ere this 10 progress. re- m 80
