The Snfe Burglary Trial.

WASHINGTON, November li.-lhc
trial Of the alleged safe burglary conSpl-
rators was resumed this morning. The
Judge directed the jury to retire and
then inquired if Hayes was in court.
Mr.. Riddle informed the court that
Mr. HAYES went to New York Saturday
night.
Judge Humphrey said he had fully re-
considered the subject and had written
out his statement which he would submit.
He then recited the circumstances Of the
arrest of Hayes, which he characterized
as an extraordinary proceeding, and All
attempt at lawleSsnesS and intimidation
almost unprecedented. He claimed th't
this oonrt had some jurisdict on
of the case and had entire c. n
troll over HAYES. These rcmarN-
were made TO show the enormlty "i
the proceedings and that the offence was
almost without parallel. He would
treat the whole process as n nuliity and
order the release Of Hayes and ecndSmen,
and thus wipe out this attempt at oostruc-
tion towards getting at the full facts OF
the case. The question could be cons!d-
dred when return was made to notice
the issue of yesterday.
At the conclusion of the Judges re-
marks the jury were brought in.
Mr.. Dsvidge then read and submitted
the PRAYERS spoken OF yesterday, As I"
his understanding of the rulings Of the
Court on points of law which had arisen,
and the admission of certsin portions OF
the eyidence-slx in number. The last one
setting forth tha, if the witness had tes-
tilted falsely in one particular, then ne
should not be believed in any particular,
not withstsnding any amount of teStimo-
nv in regard to his good character
The Judge said he would consider the
last PRAYER. and would make his decision
| known when he made his charge 10 the
! jury.
Davidge-Nay l be informed as to
YOUR decision in regard TO the remaining
/ five cases?
! Judge-No sir. 1 will settle them at
the time / charge the Jury. Go on
now, and Law your case before the Jury.
Henkle then proceeded to address the
jury on behalf of Whitley, and said he
would preface his remarks by reading a
little history to the Jury, and he read
an account af an attempt to obtain pos
session of the throne of England, known
as the Popish plot of the Sevestieth cen
tury. He claims that Michael Hayes of
this plot, was the Titus Oates ofthst plot.

LITTLE Rock, November Il,
The Republicans arc waiting patiently
for some definite action by the Federal
authorities ut Washington. They can
protect themselves if forced to do 50, but
they have always been loyal and obedi-
cnt to the mandates of higher authority.
The Federal government sustained
Baxter in his conflict with Brooks, and
bv that means alone Garland and
his mob of White Leagucrs obtained pos
session of the State courts and all, and

TEN of murders, intimidations and other
fearful crimes, which is resulting in all
the horrors of civil war. Business

Meeting Of Representatives oil Crane
Trunk Railroads.

New YORK, November 1.-THE rep
resentatives of the Grand Trunk Rail
roud met several officers of the New
York Central Railroad, in the Presidents
rooms at the Grand Central Depot, yes
terday, to confer on the subject of their
interchange of traffic at Buffalo, and on
kindred topics in general.
Joseph Hickson, of the Grand Trunk,
said he had not come to New York to
make arrangements connected with the
Saratoga contract. The Grand Trunk
Railway would not enter into that con-
tract; that might be considered as settled.
The Grand Trunk was not willing to
have its rates controlled and its business
interfered with by Board of CommlS-
sioners. The Grand Trunk is in favor of
maintaining reasonably high rates, and of
working in harmony with the combined
trunk lines, bat it is decidedly opposed to
excessive rates. and is not willing
to submit to any insiduous combination
against it. The grand trunk can man
are its own staff, and attend to It's own
business. 1t might make some change III
the rates of combined lines who
adopted advanced rates, which might be
fixed BY their Commissioners, but with
slack expectation and other obstacles, it
is a poor time to raise freight. Mr..
Mr. Hickson said that grand trunk lines
did not pay drawbacks on frcights as
other lines had done, and did not allow
commissions on tickets, having its own
agents, except in cases where the agent
was paid by commissions instead OF sal
