This change Of venue in the case Of the assas

amounts in fact, 70 a condemnation Of all British

upon what authority under the constitution

Beside the three persons under sentence o!
death at Indianapolis, whose execution. il is un-

the lives of either the Indianapolis or the Gin
cinnatI convicts were in much danger; it being

leniency. Since then, for some cause or other,
in the common esteem, their peril seems TO have
increased. Those of Indianapolis have been or

This is the name Of new explosive agent, Of
which mention begins TO be made in the foreign
papers. Ii first made itself known, as such in
ventions usually do, by killing several persons
who were experimenting upon it in laboratory at
Stockholm The original discover, nothing
daunted, pursued the even tenor of bis inquiries
into the new compound, and at last has broughl
it to such perfection that, according to a letter
in recent London paper, it is now used in blast
ing out the railway tunnel under Stockhol m.
No accident has occurred since its introduction
to practical use, and the inventor claims that
II can be used with comparative safety" in min
ing and other operations. The substance is a
liquid, and is said to have fifty times the expo-
sive power of gunpowder. No account Of its
manufacture or its chemical characteristics is
given; probably because the inventor prefers TO
keep his own secrets The discovery is an in
teresting one-because every new discovery in
the realm of sicence is interesting-but it seems
hardly deserving of the importance which is as
cribed to it by the foreign journals.
Gunpowder and guncOtton sufficiently de-
structive for every purpose of war or peace, and
have the merit of being far safer than any of the
other nitrous compounds, which give additional
explosive power, il is true, but at the expense OF
additional risks. Chloride of nitrogen, iodide OF
nitrogen, nitride of silver, and other Illuminating
powders, are agents OF destruction far more ter
rible than common gunpowder. but they are apt
TO be decomposei by the slightest blow or jar,
ignition not being necessary to touch them Off
and are therefore full of danger to persons hand

The Wlrs TRIAL.

VA0ul1HAV13 0cRt. 4As
Mr. Baker ssked that messeneer be des-
patched south for certain witnesses y nee.
assaSy for the defence. The court decided
that the question wonld b decided ON the
production of an affidavit from the prisoner
- to Whist he expected to prove by them.
Mr.. Baker maae exceptional remarks which
involved the Integrity of some Of the wit
nesses and the unworthy motive BY which they
we're influenced. The court give time to Mx.
Baker to make good his assertion.
Gen. Wilson testified that the officer whom
he sent to arrest Capt Wirz was not author
lied TO promise him anything except that he
should not be killed or hanged on the way,
| and he believed he did prevent him from get
ting killed BY the guard at Chattanooga. He
also testified to other facts in connection with
Anderseoville prison.
After the report of Saturday had been read,
Baker brought TO the attention of the com
missioner a matter in relstion to witnesses
for the defence, which he thought it would be
| better to attend to at this time.
| The Judge Advocate had suggested to him
that it might be . ssbjeet outside Of his own
authority properly belonging 70 the court
Some time before the trial commenced the
gentlemen who were then acting Is prison
efs counsel, requested that number Of wit
| uesses for the defence should be sent for and
| on their application this was done. Some OF
tAems scoald not bes found, and others Who
| were found had not yet reported. The reason
for this neglect he counsel for the defence did
not know. Since the trial had been progress
sing matters were developed which showed
the necessity Of other witnesses being sum-
| monsd In order TO meet points brought out in
the trial. The witnesses were scattered mostly
in Georgia, and may be found in few days,
but in some places there was no mail or other
means of reaching them by written commu-
nicskion, therefore 1t vas not probable they
could be reached by the time they were want
ed to testify in this court
lroAflx considerable quibbliug in regard 70
| sunmonins witnesses, on the part of the de-
fence, the court gave the following decision
in relation thereto:
The Court, after deliberating with closed
doors announced the decision in relation to
| witnesses, viz Defendant should present to
the court affidavit to the names of several
witnesses, their places OF residence, and rea-
sonabie grounds that they can be found, and
secondly, what he believed he could prove by
each OF them, from this the court may deter
mine materially of the evidence, and order
vitaesses accordingly.
Mr.. Baker said the court understood from
the remarks, that with all the time the coun-
sci could give to the subject, they could not,
| with their other duties, now draw up seperate
atSdavits. He was, however, willing to DO
| anything.
