PRICE TWO CENTS,

The Court here consulted with the Jurors VIII,
expressed themselves very anxious to get home Hi
Honor said that he was very desirous of trying th
/ case precisely as he would try any other, withou
| any reference to outside feeling.
Mr.. Hoyt remarked that he physically una
bic to speak to night, even if fully prepared Ill
worked very hard last night to get the law points
until he fell unconscious from his chair from ex
haustion and fatigue. For the last five days anC
nights he had slept but ten hours, and it seemed tC
him that justice to the prisoner demanded the al
lowance of little time in case so extraordinary
in all its aspects this
The Court suggested that we might have the
opening argument for the prosecution tonight al
any rate.
Mr. Harding would not like to open the argu-
ment now unless the to be finished to-
night. lie was willing, however, to submit the
case to the jury without single word, believing
that they would do the prisoner Justice. The pros
ecutlon had been met not only on the threshold,
but at each and every step, with Instructions to
the progress OF the case If the case was not to be
closed tonight he would like to ask the same indu-
gence given to the other side, that he might colate
the notes of evidence he had taken.
The Court inquired what length of time the de-
fence would require for argument on Monday morn
ing. He could then decide whether to grant the
request or not.
After consultation Mr.. Chiffon stated that there
would be only two speeches, by himself and Mr.
UrlSwoId, not occupying more than two hours and
Mr.. Hunter again entered an earnest protest
against delay.
The Court replied: "Then you can go on your
selves"
Mr.. Harding then commenced the opening argu-
ment for the commonwealth, and spoke only for
about forty minutes He reviewed the testimony
as elected during the examination, and dwelt for
some time on the absurdity of the claim or expecta-
tlon of the prisoner that he should have been
treated according to the rules of honorable warfare
He seemed to have lost sight of the fact that he
was in command ofa band of murderers and thieves,
and had forfeited all title to protection of any
kind.
The Court adjourned at o'clock to meet again
at 10 o'clock on Monday morning, when Mr.. Chiffon
will deliver the opening speech for the prisoner.

The Fugitive msurrent At Carlisle

for whom requisition was made by the Governor
of Virginia as Albert Hazlet, was brought before
the Judge of the County Court to-day upon writ
of Habeds Corpus. The counsel for the prisoner
claimed his discharge on the ground that his name
was VIM. Harrison. Several residents of Harper's
Ferry were examined and testified that the prisoner
was one of the invaders. They had conversed with
him and recognised him. Mr.. Copeland said he
saw the Hash OF his rifle when in the act Of shooting
a citizen. No one of the witnesses knew his name
The Court took the ground that "the requistion
IS legally and formally right, but there is no evi-
dence that we bave any man in our custody named
Mazlet, whom we can deliver this requisition.
We are satisfied, however, that monstrous crime
has been committed, and that the prisoner was
there and participated. Therefore, we re-commit
him to await requistion from the Governor of
Virginia" ="

MIR. GlDDlNGS SPEECH IN PHILADELPHIA
The following is a full report of Mr.. Giddng's
remarks delivered Friday night in Philadelphia
SO far as they relate to Old Brown
My friends have requested me to state my
knowledge of Brown and his design. Here Mr.
Giddings related a two days visit of Browns at
Jefferson where he delivered a lecture about Kan
sas and subsequently took tea at Giddings house,
but without once referring to any scheme for res
cuing slaves from their masters. Brown was two
days in Jefferson, and Gliding says
These are the only times ever saw him. Nei-
ther in his lecture nor in conversation did he say
one word to his having any associates or assist
ant. arms, did he speak of Virginia or IIar-
per's Ferry, or of an organization, or OF a provs-
ionql government nor do | believe that any man
save his associates had information on these sub
jects nor do believe he had any established plan
of action when he was in Ohio, but this is opin-
ion merely.
see the telegraphic dispatches represent that
some one informed Mr. Brown, or somebody else that

&c. 1t will hardly be supposed that would re-
ply to such intimation from anonymous wri-
ter, directed to an anonymous person This report

| captain Brown or to any other man. did how
ever, understand that Brown was in the West; that
ne had led the party who had rescued Dr. boy, who
had oeen kidnapped in Kansas and taken to Mis-
souri,. That was subj ct in which took deep in
terest, and, understanding that he was in want of
money, gave three dollars to his son. | think
there was not day from the time that Browns son
was murdered IN Kansas to that of his capture at
Harpers Ferry that l would have hestated TO piye
him whatever money had, if assured that he was
in want. But little dreamt that this three dollars
was to fit out military expedition with arms am
munitiOn, and men, capture Harper's Ferry effect

WASHINGTON, October 29.-Intelligent gentlemen
who have just arrived here from the Pacific Coast,
say that the people there will be surprised at the
visit Of Lit. Gen. Scott to San Juan, it is only in
the Atlantic States that the Island of San Juan
has been magniied into the Importance of CONT
nent. While it belongs to the United States and
will be retained, they add, that it is not really
worth quarrelling about, and that its value has
been surprisingly over-estmated. 1t is certain
that the tone of the British Ministry on this sub
ject is not agreeable to government, but an ex-
plict declaration that Cen Harney was not in
structed to occupy the Island, and a calm and
dignified explanation of all the attendant crcum-
stances will, it is thought, produce better state
OF feeling on the part of our transatlantic neghbor
