Hon. J. B. HAwLEY spoke at the Cour,
House Tuesday evening on the political
issues of the day. He had very fair audi
euce. and WAS listened to with attention
Keithsbarg Observer.
All of which means that there was only
a few present, and they were probably those
to whom Hawley had directly or indirectl,
promised office, or those who now hold offic.
by his appointments. Why do not some OF
the reporters tell the people what he says 81
these little meetings upon the politica'
issues Of the day. He dare not answer the
various charges made against him here.
neither can his hacker here, the Union, be
induced to attempt his defense. 1t does
look little Is though he was afraid to have
his position ventilated, by this silence of
himself and his friends upon these issues
We know Mr.. Clancy of the Observer to be
a live newspaper man, as we'll as an able
writer, and did expect to see the various
points made by Mr. Hawley in speech
At that place set fourth at some length.

CLOSE OF THE LYNCH TRIAL.

The Case gisevn to the jury at noon To-day
This celebrated case that created 90
much excite lent year ago and has occu-
pied the attention of the courts and Of the
public at various times since, was closed
and given to the jury to-day at noon. The
closing arguments were made BY Mr.. Geo.
H. Parker, of Davenport, and M. \. John
son of Galena.
| Mr.. Parker made q very handsome argu-
ment for the defence, claiming that the
Pscke. company we're to blame for placing
we'll known bully negro in charge of the
gangway, who intercepted Lynch, who had
before been up and down the stairs and was
not aware ofany order preventing him from
doing so at pleasure that Lynch was a
passenger from St. Louis and did not belong
to the party that took the boa, at Davenport,
and who took uphis quarrel with the negro
Lynch had just seen a passenge pass the ne
gro and supposed he had right to do the
same, and in attempting TO do so was first in
suited and then knocked down, and pounded
in an inhuman manner by the negro. Some
fifty more of the deck passengers interfered
and then insued the fight as has been pre-
viously reported. MIR, Parker claimed that
the officers of the boat had not used proper eff
forts to stop the fight and we're to blame for
1t from the beginning. No sooner had Lynch
been thus inhumsnly treated and
the excitement was at its height, then it
was noised through the crowd that a white
man had been cut by a negro and then the
row became general. Mr.. Parker farther
claimed that there was no evidence tina,
Lynch had been disposed to injure any one
only the negro who had cut and pounded
him, and that because he had escaped all
tho blame was piled upon him. He dwell,
at length upon the injustice tina, public
opinion had done Lynch and then made q
very able and telling close to his speech
Mr. Parker certainly did him self credit BY
his very able defense of Lynch. All we have
heard mention the matter, compliment him
very highly for doing his duty by q man
without friends or money and whom snovel
Jealous public opinion had convicted before
an impartial trial.
Mr.. Johnson for the prosecution also
made very able and interesting argument
of an hour in length claiming that the law
had been violated and that the man should
be punished and such lswless rioters made
to respect law and order, aud that society
should be protected. At the close of thi.
very able aud searching argument, showing
: a thorough knowledge of the law, the
I Judges charge WAS given and the Jury
, retired.
The verdict Of the Jury, was ten year,
in the penitentry.
