dsy The counsel for the president showed
inevitable Sims of having been beaten, while
| the board o. managers were in the very best
| spirits. Gen. Butler was warmly congrstu
lated. 1t is conceded that while on abstract
questions of law Evarts and Curtis will be
more than q match for Gen. Butler, yet on
examinations and intricate questions thai
arise from them, neither can cope with him
with any degree of success. Another lively
day in court is expected to-day. There was
great demand for tickets last evening. 1t is
thought the managers will close their case
on Saturday, and tina, the defence will begin
on Monday and close during the week.
