ROCHESTER, April ?, 1872.
DEAR BENNETT =
As anticipated whsn wrote to you last even.
ing tn pre!i ninary objections interposed by Ho-
gan's counsel consumed the evening. These OBJ
jections consisted mainly in this that whereas the
ale yed ofeacs was committed in Niagara county,
the prisoner had been arrested on warrant issued
by magistrate Of Monroe county. The police
justice was prollgiousy staggered, aud adjourned
the examination uutl this morning, in order to di.
gest his doubts. As if any citizen had not right
al common law, even without any warrant, to ar
rest and detain any person against whom there i,
probable suspicion Of felony. However, at nine
o'clock this mornng, the police Justice having
been kind y instructed by some benevolent amicus
euri9, decided that the examin alton 60 on, and
it accordingly proceeded.
Meanwhile, expresses had been forwarded to
Lockport for Witnesses, and this morning they
came down the famous Ridge Road in squads, with
locomotive speed.
Twill not trouble you with the testimony relative
to the burning Of the Caroline, al of which has
long bee before the public, in the most expanded
detail, in connection with the Mcleod affair. The
cutting out and burning of the Caroline, and the
death of Durfec were all clearly proved, Nc.

Of DIR. Mackenzie, OF I.eckport, (not w. l.. Mac

himself and Hogan, in which the latter recounted
the manner in which the expedition against the
Caroline was planned fitted out, and accomplished,

will observe that it is all stale, and new facts
disclosed, except the confessions Of Hogan,
which implicatc him In the affair. Were it other
wise, would send it to you in detail
So here we date the commencement of another
Mcleod affair, which will excite the public mind
of two great nations, perhaps place the Empire

general government, and finally end in the acqu t.
tai Of Hogan. predict this latter, fer here,
not even Gen Thellsr himself-fora moment sup
poses that }. Sheridan Hogan had anything to do
with the cutting ont of the Caroline, the death
of Durfee They believe that his {" confessions
| which SO much reliance is placed, mere brag-
| gadoco, and that he has come here at this time
merely to lionize himself. lnthis view they would
| be glad to reward his merits appropriately, by
| shaving of his fair glossy rlnglets, and sending
him back to Toronto In the same boat in which he
came. But the majesty of the law" has inter-
feTed; and we must patiently submit to the grave
| enactment Of another national farce.
Hogan himself has sat in court all day beside his
counsel, literally Yin fact sucking his thumb Yes

his friends; bat to-day he looks pale and depressed,
and shows some anxiety Perhaps he thinks that
| in case of conviction, and war should meanwhile
| by any possibility break out with England, his
chances Of premature elevation above the heads Of
the Yaakees,may be considerably increased Per.
haps, too, he fears that the wooden walls of Eng
land may not be available in his rescue, however
much they may serve those who are safely enscon-
