NORFOLK, November 1.-THE second day
OF the trial OF John Il. Whitehead attracted
outc a large crowd 10 the United states
Circuit Court this morning.
Mr.. William II. Peters, the receiver,
continued his testimony as TO the accounts
Of John Il. Whitehead, and Whitehead and
Balm. On toe day the bank failed, witness
said. Mr.. Whitehead's several accounts
aggregated $4,000.
Mr.. Benjamin L. Kcy'er, one OF the
bank-examiners from Washington, who
went through the affairs OF the Exchange
Bank, was next called, and gave state
ment Of the various accounts, overdrafts,
&C., OF Mr.. Whitehead.
Slr. Keyser stated from his memoranda
that the various books OF the bank showed
that John Il. Whitehead was indebted to
the bank to the amount OF S223,472. The
account OF Whitehead and Balm at the close
OF the bank was $50, j69.4. In the course
Of the examination be found the receipt
for promissory note TO Brown d son, OF
Baltimore, for loan OF $4,000, and later,
in looking over the cOllaterals, discovered
that the 2,200 shares OF the Norfolk and
Western railroad were pledged to secure
this loan.
The defence wished to show that the
STOCKS pleuStu were Amply 7"i''C
cover the loans. The prosecution objected
TO the introduction Of any material matter
occurring subsequent TO the failure OF t1e
bank.
Before the court adjourned Mr. Richard
Wake, OF counsel for Mr.. George III. Balm,
Jr.. asked continuance OF his case on ac-
count OF utter physical and mental pros
tratIon. For this reason he would be un-
able to appear IN the cases in which he was
Jointly and otherwise indicted, particularly
| IN the case under the style OF George 81.
Balm, Jr., and others. The motion was
| granted, and the case was postponed TO

Will Be Cemented.

The efforts OF some OF the Republican
papers TO extract consolation from the re-
suit OF the elections in Virginia, and at the
same time not commit themselves too far,
are rather amusing. The Baltimore Herald
says:
"The situation might best DC described
IA that OF stand off, though tue advantage
Is slightly In favor Of the Republicans. III
NAV rot appear so now: but, In our ludg-
ment. the carrying OF Virginia by the Re.
pubiicans was the most significant event OF
election-day. The solid South is broken,
and, with q fair count In the future, tue
breach will widen year by year.
oBut. us we remarked before, neither
,arty IA justified In elevating Its political
horn too high. Iionors are about eNen.'
Aud again;
"In 1884 Mr.. Blaine predicted that Nir-
pipis would be the first State to break away
from the solid South. The break did moi
occur ut the time Mr.. Blaine so earnestly de-
sired II, but the late election has proven
that he u no SLOUGH OF q political prophet.
The important question Is, Whether tue
Virginia break will be widened or whether
IL will be cemented by 1885,"
i, appears 10 us that the Herald tries tC
exslt Its horn very high, bu, that the hori
gives out very uncertain sound. 1t suo
confident as to what keys to touch, and th
result is anything but q straight tune. How
ever. we think we can set |. right by an
swering "the important question" TIL

having already left there for other stations.
II is the purpose OF the authorities 10

frontiers, placing the larger number at the
most important points. Fort Smelling,
Minnesota, is looked upon as the most i'm
portant stratcgetic point In the United
states, and Il is intended early next spring
TO mass there at least two regiments.
Army officers who have been examining
the various frontiers unite in asserting that
the northwestern Canadian frontier Is our
weakest point. and have recommended that
Fort Smelling be made the central renOcl-
VOWS for the most efficient and available
forces Of the army. War with England Is
not looked upon a. an utter imposslDillty

lions arrived at. The work VIII go on

NICE LEGAL QUESTION.
yurisdicfion over n nurder Coca
mttted on u Belgian Steamer.

A Trenton On. j. telegram says: The
United States court has been lately consld-
erin. a question OF jurisdiction in reference
TO a murder committed on tue Belgian
steamer Noordland, lying at the wharf in
Jersey City. The criminal, Joseph Will
dcnhaus, q boy OF about thirteen, was in
dicted by the lIudsop-county grand jury.
and the question is whether the prisoner
and two witnesses now In The Hudson
county Jail, should, as Belgian subjects,
while on q vessel sailing under that nag
and committing 4 crime virtually on Bel
rian soil, he held by this Govern
ment TO answer therefor. The state au-
thorities maintained that the treaty bet Teen
the two Governments and the generally
accepted law OF nations, or internltional
law, did not prevent the United States
Government taking cognizance OF the
crime, and, such being the case, the United
States statute providing that any one who
took the life OF another upon any vessel in
any river, arm, or tributary OF the sea
within the admiralty jurisdiction OF the
United States should be guilty OF murder
and punishable with death covered
the case and gave jurisdiction. The
Belgian Consul controyerted this view.
and held that in all cases where an
American citizen had been situated
similarly the American Government had
demanded and received such citizens from
the foreign Governments, and had tried
them at home. The United States might
have bad jurisdiction had the victim left
the vessel and died in Jersey City, but his
| diving on the vessel, where the wound was

| Judge Wales stated that, a the case was
very important, involving two nations, he
wanted to consider the question with greai
care, and would file an opinion after care

the prisoner until the decision was given.
