The Times and Mr.. Morse.

The inquiry has often been made of hate, by
men of all political parties, why the editor of
the Times vents so much bitterness of late on
the Hon. Freeman II. Morses why he travels
out of his way to assail hims why not num-
Der, hardly, of the Times comes out that does
not contain one or more attacks on this distin
guished citizen? But few weeks ago the ed
itor of the Times was engaged in q fierce war
fare with the editor of the Liberty Standard,
but now we see him shall fellow we'll met "
with Mr.. Wiley, joining with him to injure
Mr.. Morse, The venomed darts that flew
thick and fast between them are now aimed at
another mark. II is not strange then the rea--
son of this sndden union and of these attacks
shonld be asked. 1t may be that " a fellow
feeling makes them wodrous kind" and there
fore it is that they have so soon settled their
quarrel and now together fight the battles of
Locofocoism, by assaulting leading Wings.
Some suppose that these attacks are merely
the ebulitions Of temper soured by political
disappointment, otherst that the motive swhol-
ly political in its character, that he isin hopes
to beniit his party by this conrse, hopes TO-
lessen the inhuenc which the objects OF his
attacks may exert on the coming elections.
But be the motive what it may these assaults
are made in such way as, only to disgust men
of all parties. injuring only the man who
makes them.

EIGHTH DAY.

AUGUSTA, March %. 1S4S.
The Attorney General resumed his argu-
ment for the prosecution.
Mr.. Blake said he was speaking, when the
Court adjourned last evening, of the evidences
of the existence of prussic acid in Mathews
body lie was spoken OF the chemical tests,
which indicated acid in the contents of the
stomach. He would now speak of the morbid
appearances found in the body itself. The en-
animation was made by scientific, professional
men. They found the lungs gorged with
blood, and highly congcsted-ths stomach in
parts exhibited dark purple appearance-tbc
lAer was dark-the lungs in part were dark
blue-of prussian blue color-diferent from
anything the ply sicians had ever before wit
messed. These appearances are OF character
which would be expected in cases of death
from prussic acid. That these appearances are
not to be relied upon with entire confidence,
in themselves considered, IS admitted. But
the prussian blue appearance of the lungs, the
brain and the other viscera, must have been
produced by some foreign substance-it mpY
not be certain from this fact alone what sub
stance. There is, as DR.. Hubbard testifes, and
also DR.. Hill, another aest-the odor. DIR.
Moves testihes that he discovered the odor in
the bottle containing the contents OF the stom-
aeh-he also discovered it in the brain and in
the thorax. DIR. Plaisted discovered it in the
brain with certainty-not with so much GER
tainty in the thorax. Drs. Thayer and Bou-
telle were also present-if they would not
testify to the same odor, why has not the pris
oner called them. Prof. Loomis on the post
norton examination. discovered an odor-on
analysing the contents of the stomach, he
found the same odor-a afterwards, in mis- ex-
periments with prussie acid, he discovered the
same odor.
~ The Jury had retired when our report
was mailed yesterday. and we shall probably
have their verdict tomorrow.

these additional facilities Of getting to and from the
largest snd most important market in the Western
world.
Whatever point this city may have reached, or
whatever position 1t may occupy in the commercial
world it has been thus far dependent upon few art
cial advantages Its geographical location and natural
resources, have given it that superiority it enjoys
and there is in the course of completion works Of
art which must give impetus greater than ever
yet realized within its history, We aude particularly
to the numerous railroads in the process Of con-
struction, North, East, and Vest he Erie Rail-
road, stretching to the shores of of the most
important Western lakes, the Harlem and Albany
Railroads connecting this city with the lines
of railroads running through the interior iof this
State and Massachusetts, and running North to the
southern point of Lake Champaign and the New Ha-
ven road connecting as with the numerous lines
ming from Long Island Sound into the interior Of all
the New England States, and perfecting the oommun
cation with the Eastern extremity Of Maine These
roads will open a in the commercial prospects
of the commercial emporium, and rapidly increase its
wealth and greatness In connection with this vast
plan Of internal improvement must not lose sight
of the RAPID increase in steam nicaton by
water, with not only every part of our country
on the seaboard, and on our magnificent navigable
rivers, but with all parts Of Europe, South America
and the West India Islands We what few
years have already accomplished in the navigation Of
rivers by steamboats,; and what few mont tbs
have accomplished in the navigation Of the ocean by
our steamships; but we form idea of what the
next Ave. or even the next two years will bring forth
in this branch of enterprise.
Our splendid ships have ploughed the waters of every
navgabe on the face of the globe and they have
been the wonder and admiration of every nation and
destined to occupy the proud position in
relation to steam ships The which has crown
ed our early efforts, is sufficient to urge onward
without moments faltering, until have reached
perfection in that department Of mercantile marine
This port must from its position, be the grand depot
of this business and will, of course have the
full benefit of the trade derived from this new mode of
communication with all parts Of the world 1t will thus
be that the next few years will give impetus
greater than have before realised in similar
length of time and place far in advance of our
contemporaries, that shall hear nothing more of
their competition for the trade of every section of the
country.

Business Of Congress- Spn'-John Foy's Whtts
The Capitol Soda Shop, etc.
This morning, the House agreed to the PROPOSE
ton OF the Senate to adjourn, sine de, on the I4h
Of August, and few minutes afterwards il was
agreed to meet hereafter until the close of the
sion, al ten o'clock in the morning. With nine
tenths Of the business Enacted upon, Gas Mr.. Vim
ton and Mr. Truman Smith say,) the eleven hours
thus gained are of the greatest importance, when
consider that the four or FIVE days. labor of the
Senate, combined in the compr omlse bill, was
killed in forty minutes! Next week there will
probably be recesses, and night sessions, and a
great fuss, as though the members were the most
industrious people in the world All at once they
want to get home 1t is time they were there, they
say. But this is only echo Of the voice uttered
by the people three months ago.
tits known to you that speaker Winthrop, being
from "he land Of steady habits" on us accession
to the chair, cleared the basement OF the Capitol
OF the cook and liquor shops. As teetotaller we
consider it a good move but the evil OF which
many complained was not eradIcated. II was pa
ternaly thought by some OF the more sober that
the younger members, If the toddy shops were to-
eraied, would be seduced into drinking habits;
hence the inducement TO leave the legislative
hall was dissipated by the &c casting out of the
spirits John Foy gathered up his frying. pans,
his beef steaks and decanters, and took refuge in
a white house not more than a stones throw
from the Capitol. SO, 1t is just as convenient, and
less tiresome to go there, than it was down and
up five hundred dark and narrow stone steps. On
the South side of the Capitol, in the building It
self, there is soda and cake shop, and driving
business in this branch Of the trade Is perceptible
Ii people do not love soda better than brandy,
why there Is John Foy's, just in view.
In former days and nights we saw many drunken
members in the legislative halls; but there ap-
pears less ofinebration now than ever. And here
we musf sev and we do not beg pardon either for
the assertion, that, however in good taste to a
certain member it was in bad taste morally, to
see him. one Of the most talented while occupyiRpr
