his charge. He remarked there were other ca
ses, sixteen in number, of persons accused of
the highest and most serious denomination
cases which occurred at different places on the
border. They are for the general public mat
ter OF history, ahd were an outrage upon the
public and ourselves, and we were threatened
by the very wantoness of wickedness without
excuse. The charges laid against these men
are at all times heinous and detestable, and
their form has been simplified by legislation
sufficient to meet the exigency. You must in
quire first, was there lengthy war or a hostile
purpose? Second, were the prisoners impli-
Gated or not? He then defined the nature of
war and the kinds of testimony The Court
then adjourned.

NEW YORK, Dec. 3.
The Associated Press quarrel excites but lit
tie interest here. The policy of the Associated
Press has not changed
The World announced this morning that it
would take Craig's news, and it was dismissed
Immediately from the Association.
The Herald, Times and Tribune, it is under
stood, had a conference to-day, and agreed to
Interchange all special dispatches and send
them, over the country. They also agreed to
during the next three months towards strength
ening and developing the facilities of the Asso-
ciation. AT the conference it was felt that the
contest is not with the press of the country but
to prevent the creation of one man tyranny
over news like that exercised by Mr.. Reuter- in
Europe. .H
The most liberal arrangements are being
made with all the papers that remain true to
the Associated Press.
Delegations from the West are here protest.
ing against the action of Messrs Halstead and
White.
The action of the Herald, Tribune and Times,
of course, ends the contest, and it is now said
that Mr. Craig will continue to send only COM
mercial dispatches and ship news.
