A dense crowd of spectators we're in

was largely in excess of previous days.
Mr.. Beecher and wife were in the court

Mr.. Evarts said that Mr.. Beach and Mr..
Sherman were compelled to be absent,
and as the case was now reaching its
close, the difference of adjournment for
a day or so would not matter very much.
He suggested, therefore, that the court
should adjourn for a day. Judge Neil

court adjourned over until Monday

vice President wilson in Kentucky

Lexington Press.
The meeting O. General John G. Breck-
inridge and Vice President Wilson, at
the residence OF the former, on Sunday
last, was an event that cannot fail to be-
come Of historic interest. The visit of
Mr.. Wilson to the bedside of one who
had been his friend in oldeu times was
prompted by kindness. That act soft
ened the harshness Of feeling which
Kentuckians have entertained toward
Mr.. Wilson, and raised him up friends
where before were only enemies. The
meeting Of those two, after such q sepa-
ration, was an incident as touching as it
was interesting. Shattered in health
and prescribed by that government of
which he was once the second officer,
General Breckenridge has been living in
comparative seclusion since the war. 1t
was a generous tribute to his lofty char
acter, and a sort of poetic justice that
the present Vice President sholld come
to his side, and take him By the hand,
thus, as it were, anticipating the verdict
of history. No event Of more signi6.

ness Of heart, and intended only as an
exhibition Of personal friendship, the
