TREASON TRIALS IN RHODE IsIANp-The case of
Mr. Cooley was closed on Monday evening. The
counsel Tor the prisoner relied principally upon the
argument that II was not sufficiently proved that the
defendant had acted representative from this civ
as charged In each count of the Indictment The
case was gwen TO the jury al about seven o'clock
and after four hours consultation, they found them
selves unable to agree. The Jury stood seven for
conviction and five for acquittal, They had all sol.
EMMY sworn that they believed the present gov
eminent TO be the legal government of the state
and in the jury room they admitted that thew were
satisfied that Cooley acted as representative from
this city there was no question, them that the law
was violated. The inference is irresistible We
are satisfied. The government has done its duty.

indicated No one expected that the Jury would
agree, when it was known that some of the most
furious DISCLAIMERS against the legality of the gov
eminent, had sworn themselves into the Jury box

juryman the question: do you believe that the in

would have been found who would swear through
that or any thing else. And we do not think that
the result would have been changed had the court
allowed the question.-Proo jour. Dec II.
