Tho Case of CAPTAIN NarIee.

This case having been laid over until yesterday
in order to procure witnesses it was called at Il
o'clock to-day, and the jury were sworn. A for
midable roll of witnesses were called on behalf Of
the United States, and sworn; and then, on
motion of General McCalla, Of counsel Of Captain
Naglee, they were excluded from the courtroom
except the witness under examination.
Mr.. Fendall opened the case for the prosecu-
ton, in speech in which he quoted the various
laws enacted by Congress for refunding expenses
incurred in raising volunteers also, the act of
1928 for Furnishing frauds on the treasury and
then read voucher for an alleged payment of
1884, in Captain Quails case, which he alleged
had been fabricated, presented, and paid by the
defendant. He attempted to read other papers,
which, however, were excluded, on motion Of de-
PENDANTS counsel
When he had concluded, General McCalla re-
piled, and stated the grounds Of defence. OF this
speech it would perhaps be wrong to give the par
ticulars, as il would contrayene, in some degree,
the order of the court concerning the witnesses.
We will say, however, that it was effective, and
seemed to produce no little effect on the District
Attorney, as well as others present. The cause
is progressing, and will probably occupy several
days

Tho Maine Law I'm Pennsylyanin.

We learn that the House Of Representatives OF
Pennsylvania on Tuesday rejected by vote Of
SO to 46, the Maine liquor bill, which had pre-
viously passed the Senate. We regard this vote
as a great triumph to the Maineacs. Who, one
year ago, would have believed such thing pos
sible? We are now convinced that the legislation
Of this country will henceforth be directed to tho
suppression of the importation, manufacture and
sale of intoxicating drinks, though many unavail-
ing attempts will be made before success shall
attend the efforts of the reformers

The Presidency.

1t is very apparent fact that the press OF
this country is inmical to the election of General
ScoTT. The Democratic press, of course, regards
him with holy horror while the Wing press IS
in his favor in but few instances, and positively
opposed to him in many. The Louisville Times,
a very able Democratic paper, which is almost
vndictve in its hostility to the General, informs
us that the Shelby News a vigorous Wing
sheet" published in Shelbyville, in that State,
intimates, in clear terms, that it cannot and will
not give its support to General Scott, unless he
defines his position unequivocally upon the Com
promise measures II does not like the Generals
lodging. And the Times remarks that " this is
the third Wing paper in Kentucky, the support
Of which General Scott will likely lose in the
event of his nomination, unless he shall come out
in very decided terms upon the Compromise or
slavery question - and it adds that there are
others yet to speak.
We of course have no right to talk about poll
tics but these sayings are highly provocative of
remark or two.
In the first place, if, after forty-odd years &C
ceptable public service, the position of General
Scott upon the important subject suggested could
be regarded as so equivocal as to require reve-
lation of his true sentiments, we would not give
him our support NTH such a revelation made
upon his solemn oath
In the second place, highly we value the in
fuence of the press, it is matter of history that
General jackson was twice victor before the
public with almost the entire strength of the
press of the United States arrayed against him
The Democratic, press is of course against
General Scott. portion of the Wing press may
honestly oppose him. Other portions of ii may
have present motives for its present action. But

able and intelligent young gentleman was brought
under his influence DR.. S. produced upon his
mind the impression that he had Just returned
from California, after successful gold-hunt that
he had sold his gold and received the draft of
Mr.. Thompson, of New York, for $4,000
piece Of blank paper was made to represent this
draft, and the subject was sent home with the

peared at the Bank Of the Metropolis, as in
structed by DIR. S., and presented his draft,
which the cashier refused to honor. The
young man, disappointed and detected, left the
bank in tears, took his seat in an omnibus, and
went in pursuit Of DR.. Spencer, the endorser.

tied the story Of his hallueination

We believe there are sixty -four Wings in the
legislature. OF these, ffty-ono met in caucus on
Wednesday night, and fifty Of them voted for the
nomination OF General Scott as the candidate Of

convention there were five, not opposed to, but
simply not in favor Of nominating General Scott.

The backward spring has retarded business Of
all kinds in this city. Our merchants are album
dainty supplied with goods to meet all demands,
nient, but is only delay.
With builders it is otherwise. The days are
lost and the laborers and materials will hardly
prove abundant enough to enable them to hurry
on to completion all the undertakings now ready
for them.
Fence-making, street-improying, gardening,
and everything tending to cityize our expanded
village, will soon be prosecuted with great vigor.
Small and medium dwellings are in great de-
mand the value of building-lots and the rents of
dwellings are both steadily increasing and every
possible evidence is given that are on the road
to success
Plank roads will soon radiate from this city.
In Prince Georges and Montgomery counties,
Maryland, and in Fairfax county, Virginia, there
exists strong feeling in favor Of such improve
ments
Recently, the Baltimore and Washington branch
railroad reduced its fare to and from Bladens-
burg, and new spirit is awakened in that Vi
entity. We look with confidence to the early
growth and improvement of that neighborhood,
and consequent rise in the value of property.
The improvement of Pennsylvania avenue from
the Presidents Mansion to Georgetown, the con-
struction of an iron bridge across Rock creek, on
line with the Avenue, and the improvement of
that good old city itself, are consummations to
which we now hopefully look forward.
We have now good gas-works in Washington,
and their facilities are being extended to the
uttermost limits Of the city. Water is here good
ALSO though not sufficiently abundant. 1t is
hoped that good and feasible plan for intro
ducing an abundant supply will soon be adopted.
The convenience and safety of the public pro-
perty, and the welfare of our citizens and all
who abide here unite in demanding action in the
premises.
Our municipal elections are to take place in
two months from this time. This is always an
occasion of earnest interest, and of quiet and
discreet demeanor. The election of certain Off
GERS by the people, who were formerly selected
by the Mayor and Councils has given great salts
faction. We trust the time is not far distant in
which still others shall be chosen in like manner.
There is Office of sufficient Importance, whether
legislative, administrative, or judicial, which We
would not have filled by the direct choice of the
