MURDER TRIAL AT BURLINaAMB.
BuRL1NoAME, Dec. %, 1865.

1
EDITOR LAWRENCE TRIBUNK: The tri-
al of Martin W. Bates, for the murder of
Abel Policy, is concluded. the appeals
made, the Charge given. the verdict rem
dered, and the .olemn sentence pronoan-
ced.
The counsel !or the unhappy defendant,
the Hon. James Rogers, with all his bet
ter feelings enlisted, with full sense of
the awful responsibility resting upon him,
and every faculty of the mind exerted to
its utmost, opened his defense on Wednes-
day morning, at nine o'clock. We can :
not give even an outline of his noble
effort for the life of fellow being We
can only say that il was worthy The man
and the occasion. He Iabored SO for three
long hours. and if it proved of no avail
as touching the unfortunate man in
chains, his conscientious hearers said,
well done, thou good and faithful ser
want"
Judge Ruggles, with his commanding
appearance and judicial lore. made the
closing speech on behalf of the State.
No doubt his breast contained as much
sympathy for the accused as that of any
other present, but his stern manner and
avalanche of words, containing powerful
and incontrovertibe reasoning, showed it
not. His fearful earnestDess drove his
own convictions home to the heart and
understanding of every juryman.
Alter The close of the last speech, ate
10 the evening, the venerable Judge Wat
son, In solemn, measured, yet distinct
tone. his snow-whits head and palsied
hand, frightening the profoundness of
the scene, proceeded to charge the jury
at great length. We will give few
sentences of its opening:
GENTLEMEN OF THE jury: For the
first time since the commencement of this
trial, do experience a feeling of salts
faction; and this derive from prospect
of our soon being relieved from the
painful responsibilities which have rested
upon US. Conscious of being t. any ex-
tent the arbitor of destiny involving the
happiness or misery of fellow being,
must inspire eV:ry heart not inssnsible
10 the emotions of Christian sympathy,
with feelings of anxious care; but how
oppressive The solitude, how crushing
the weight of responsibility, when the
matter of life and death hangs trembling
in the scales placed in onr hands, end
which may be turned-irrevocabiy fixed.
as it were, By our lightest breath.
The Judge was exceeding thirty min
utes giving the whole charge. Every
kind of muder and mauslaugther known
to law WIS defined and explained. We
can only give here the closing sentence:
The case is now with you. and may
that Divine light which sminates from the
eternal source of wisdom, illuminate your
minds and guide you to correct decis-
ion.'
The jury retired just before supper
time. Wednesday evening, followed by
the prisoner, with his chain thrown ov:r
HE shoulder, aud with that stolid iudif-
ferent air, that has marked his whole
bearing since the commencement of his
trial. MURDOCH

that the private laws passed by the last

of special laws where general ones can
be made to answer the purpose, and not

We notice Senator PomeIoy has introduc-
ed bill granting to this road SIG, 600 per
mile construction bonds. This enterprise
has gained much ground since the last
session of Congress, and with such an eff,
icient worker as Col. Goss, whose um-
mer's labor in its behalf has been such as
to store his mind with valuable inforna-
ton on the subject, its success at this
session can be confidently looked fer.
His trip to New Orleans and Memphis
was successful in enlisting the efforts of
those people ia behalf of the road The
Board of Trade of New Orleans, to yether
with Gov. Browolow and the Legislature
of Tennessee. viii lutte in asking of Con-
gress a recognition of this road as their
legitimate connection with the main trunk
of the Pacific railroad The survey made
last summer by The Colonel doubtless af
fords an abundance of information as TO
the character of the route and its direct
ness as a connection for the South. We
think the friends Of the enterprise have
cause to be of coed cheer.-J%ncsiOn I'm

We have not yet received copy of the
bill referred to above, and are not &C
quainted with its provisions. But we
sincerely hope that Congress will care
fully consider the claims Of the Southern
branch of the Union Pacific Road. With
such aid as Congress Gao well afford to
give, this road may soon be one of the
leading thoroughfares in the country. 1t
possesses many of the characteristics and
claims of a national thoroughfare, and is
deserving the generous aid and assistance
of Congress. We have reason to believe
that Senator Pomeroy will succeed in Sc
curing the aid asked for.-LaD. Journal.
