AETERNooN SESSION.

Court met pursuant to adjournment
Col. Lusk resumed his argument in be-
half of the State.
l now propose to anticipate the de-
fense in their efforts to discredit Judson
and Sallie Morgan in their assertion that
they recognized Frank Morgan in the
bottom on Monday morning. / call your
attention to the fact that two witnesses
offered by the defense, sustain the State
witnesses Two of these witnesses swore
they saw VIM. Jones Monday evening at
the same placesour witnesses said they
saw Frank Monday morning; and to sus-
tain these witnesses in their declaration
that they saw William Jones, Miss Hat
tie Thrash. witness for defense, SAYS
she did meet VIM. Jones at the very
point the other witnesses said they had
seen him; and it follows if VIM. Jones
corld be recognized on that evening, why
could not Sallie and Judson recognize
Frank in the morning Mr.. Buck Thrash
puts men on railroad, and sends my
law around by Morgan's to
see if.he could identify them. The dis
lance Mr. Gambler was from men on rail
road Was 600 yards; but from where Sal
lie and Judsonsaw Frank was only 2l7
measured ,Nards off. Why did not Mr.
Thrash put his men tobe recognized
near the foot log where Frank Is alleged
to haye been, and then see if they could
be identified. Mr. John Rice, another
witness for defense, says he saw w. n.
Jones in this bottom afterwards, and he
recognized him alta distance of $50 yards.
Now, if Mr.. Rice could identify William
Jones 25O yards, why in name of COM
mon sense could not Sallie and Judson
recoenizc Frank eft distance of 2l7
wards. Two Witnesses of the defense
thus sustain the State witnesses, and
only one witness. Mr.. Walton, who had
worn his eyes out on railroad, throws
doubt on the evidence of the State.
One month after fradegy, the neighbors
again collected at the scene, where the
goods and chattels of the old victim were
to be seld. Capt. Howell and DIR. Thrash
among a large number were there and
among these also was VIM. Jones', Mr..
Howell, looking at the scene ofdesolation,
remarked to DIR. Thrash, nDr, if there is
mot a hell there ought TO be. Dr. Thrash
replied, yes. and it ought to come right
now. And these remarks fell upon the
ears of the unfortunate prisoner at the bar,
and doubtless he heard the screams of
Mary Rice, the groans Of old man Joyce
|doubtless; standing upon the vortex of
hell itself, who can be surprised that he
rubbed his hands, and trembled, and like
Macbeth Of old. gasped in his very soul,

vid had outraged uriah, and Nathan had
said .sthot art the man. he exclaimed,

ACCIDENTAL Po1soNING.

Sunday evening Mr.. Hutihens
from Chapel Hill reached here,
stopping at the Arlington House.
He was in bad health and came
here for the benefit of his health.
Tuesday afternoon he was suffering
very much with his head. In his
room were various medicines he
was in the habit of using. He took
from the mantel vial of what he
thought would relieve his pain. It
proved to be carbolic acid. He dis
covered the mistake almost as soon
as he put it in his mouth !; but he
swallowed enough to throw him in
to violent agony and endanger his
life. Physicians were hastily sum,
moned, and such remedies applied
as saved his life. His condition for
many hours was very critical but
the danger is believed to be over.

THE ARGUMENTS YESTERDAY.

Col. Lusk occupied most of yes
terday in his argument IN behalf of
the State in the Joyce case. He
was followed by Mr.. II. "A. Gudger,
forthe defense, who concluded near
six O'Clock ia.tlie evening. Both
speeches were Of great force and
ability, at times eloquent. We could
only get in our report of Col. Lusk' S
speech; Mr.. Gudger's will follow to-
morrow, with to>da1's proceedings.

you upon your conviction of their guilt.
If Cantrell, league and Orr told the truth,
then how can you conclude otherwise
that they are guilty of this horribls
crime. The defense attempted to break
down the character OF Cantrell: they
made no attempt to attack the character
OF league and Orr. Now Cantrell makes
the following Statement: (Reads what
Cantrell said from the CITIZEN report. j
Now did CantreH hear that statement?
Orr said Cantrell told him the next
morning what he had heard. Now did
CantreIl tell lie? Icare not how mean
he may be, he could not have told a lie
In that instance. How did Cantrell
know there was board pile on HON.

testified to by Cantrell, league and Orr,
can you hesitate to believe the prisoners
guilty? To whom do any circumstances

to the prisoners at the bar. If you find this,
these men are guilty. You are told you must
be satisfied beyond reasonable doubt the

BILE doubt 1t is that you must be satisfied
these prisoners are guilty. If you have

talking to you, but that is not reasonable.
Can you have reasonable doubt that these
people were murdered? think not. IfI

General Results.

With reluctant hardness, democratic jour
mails now admit tine election of Mr.. Symes as
Representative in Congress from Colorado.
This gives to the republicans another State
and majority of the State delegations in the
House in event of the failure Of an election
by the people in the Presidential contest Of
1883. Local causes, it appears, diverted q
considerable number of votes from the re-
publican candidate for Governor, though on
national issues the republicans retain the
upper hand in Colorado and elect their Con-
gresham. The official statement of the vote
in New Jersey brings to light similar state
Of facts. Although the democratic candidate
for Governor is elected BY plurality, having
considerable majority of the popular vote
against him, the republicans make nearly a
clean sweep of the State on National issues.
electing FIVE of the seven congressman by
good msjorities. while one democrat. Mr..
Pidcock, slips in by plurality of only III.
The republican plurality over regular demo-
cratic candidates for Congress is 1887, which
is almost az much as the plurality for the
democratic Governor-elect. Thus it appears
that on national issues the republican party
was found decidedly stronger in New jersey
than ever before.
In nineteen States having 20i electoral
votes the republicans mad piurality OF the
votes cast at the tate elections, ana pluralitles
determine the choice OF fresidential electors.
But these votes are for State Officers, and do
not N all cases falrly reflect the opinion OF
the people on National questions Thus in
Minnesota and Connecticut, although the re-
publlcans had pluralltles on their state TICK
ets, they lost majority OF the members OF
Congress. But II the thirteen electoral
votes or these States be deducted on that
ground, the votes OF Colorado, California
and New jersey must be added to the repub-
lican column, because 10 those States the
verdict or the people on National questions,
as shown by the election of members of Con-
gress, was In favor OF the republican party.
ADDING the twenty electoral votes OF these
states, 1t would appear that the recent cleo
tons indicate sufficient republican strength
to have chosen 2ll out OF the 4Ol President
iaI electors, had the choice of President de-
pended upon the votes recently cast. After
twenty months of trial, the democratic party
and its reform" President have managed to
lose not only the scanty advantage which gave
them 2l9 electoral votes in 1884, but consid-
erably more; instead of eighteen more than
majority, they now can claim only ten less

A Glimpse of Roscoe COnkling
TINES CHANGES IN THE EX-SENATOR.

I dropped in yesterday to hear Roscoe
Conkling argue case before the Chief of the
Interference Division in the Patent Office
As might have been expected. the room was
crowded with people anxious to listen to the
forensic efforts of the ex-senator. ConkGng
as a speaker, it struck me, has lost none of
the peculiarities which distinguished him
when he delighted the galleries of the Senate,
by leaving the political arena and devoting
himself exclusively to the practice of the
law. | noticed the same mannerisms, the
same theatrical gestures, the same information
of the voice, the same sneer with which he
seemed to goad his unwary adversaries into
attacking him, the same air might also say
which distinguished his entrance into the

plainly as words almost knock this chip off

his thought were as quaint, grotesque-an
aesthetic bystander characterized them as
rococo--ss ever. The greatest change, how
ever, was in the mans attire. Everybod
remembers, of course, the care with which
the ex-senator used to dress while he was in
Washington. But he seems to have discard
ed this together with his political ambitions
as one of the vanities of life. He was dressed
yesterday in cheap "hand-me down" bust
ness suit, ill-titting and great deaf deal
worse for wear, which might have delighted
the soul of some Chatham-street clothing
dealer. The coat seemed to burst AT the
seams, the waistcoat was too short, and the
trousers-shsdes of by-gone days, which
looked upon this man as the Apollo of the
Senste-were bsggy at the knees and the
once well-known flaming red necktie-it had
beer replaced by one of sober and austere
tint. Even that famous Hyperion curl
right in the middle of the forehead" as the
nursery song has it-has disappeared, and

that of any other mortal Washington Cor
