The rush yesterday WAS very great, and, as
to numbers, FAR exceeded all previous days.
Mr.. Bingham consumed the entire time tho
Court was in session, and still did not finish.
It is supposed that he will conclude to-day
Mr.. Evarts made very lengthy as well as a
very able argument, but much OF its effect was
lost BY its too great length. Mr.. Bingham re-.
marked in regard TO the prOlixity Of Mr. Els
speech that 1t was not necessary in order TO
make an argument immortal to make 1t eteI-
nal As It now looks, Mr.. Bingham is likely
10 commit the same error which he so severely
criticised In his brother Evarts.
Parties yesterday, and last evening, were
Offering to bet high against conviction. bssing
their notions as to this conclusion upon the
course which 1t was alleged Mr. Fessenden
will take. 1t was con idently affirmed that he
will vote for acQuittal, and 1t is supposed,
therefore, that several other Senators will
follow his lead and therefore, said these par.
ties, Impeachment is dead.
We do not know anything rs to Mr.. Fcssen-
dens course, and DO not therefore go beyond
the simple itatOmcnt Of the fact, that the cur.
rent talk everywhere was rs We have stated
We may confidently look for the end Of this

examined the body and found it covered with
severe bruises, one on the chest quite large
with the skin broken, and thought that death
resulted from exhaustion caused by the fog
ging. There WAS also cut on the temple.
Mary Alston toolored) testified to having
gone for the body in cart, and thinking the
sudden death was unusual had notified DIR.
Wagner.
Other witnesses testified to the death Of the
boy under the circumstances related, though
there was no one who saw the transaction ex-
cept smaller brother Of the deceased, whose
affidavit was produced. The testimony showed
that while the boy undoubtedly died from the
flogging, the father had evidently committed
the deed in hest of passion, thinking that he
had right to correct his son.
MI. Porcher opened for the defence, and
was followed by Mr.. Grimball. This WAS the
maiden effort Of these gentlemen, and they
displayed tact and judgment in their grouping
of the. facts. The Attorney-General,o on behalf
Of the State, declined to insist on the charge OF
murder, considering that the deed was not
done with any such m otive, the evident con-
triton of the prisoner being sufficient proof
of his Innocence in that respect.
General Conner closed for the defence, and,
after full and comprehensive charge from the
Judge, the jury retired, and after an absence
of about two hours, brought in verdict Of
not guilty.
