liberating for over eight hours, the
jury in the United States court, in

First, by causing false weights and
measures and fraudulent returns of
weights On the incoming cargoes of
their coal for the purpose of lessening
the amount of duty collected; second,
by causing the returns of weight on all
outgoing cargoes delivered into Ameri-
can bottoms to be grossly excessive in
weights, making the customs draw
; back much greater than the duties
that had been collected on the same
coal; third, by grossly overweighing
the coal delivered to the United States
army transports.
A second set of indictments repeat
ing the charges contained in the first
was returned by the grand jury June

LINCOLN and DOUGLAS.
The Two Political Giants Are Com
pared by Horace White.

Chicago. Feb. 1s.-'Douglas had
remarkable fluency. Lincoln had a
high pitched falsetto voice that re-
sembled the pipe Of a boatswain's q
whistle and he had to stop for repairs
in the middle Of a sentence. Both
mind and body worked more slowly
than in Douglass case"
This description Of the speaking
ability Of the principals. in the epoch
making debates between Abraham
Lincoln and Stephen A. Douglas was
given at the Chicago Historical So
ciety, by Horace White. New York
editor, who is said to be the only liv-
ing man who heard all Of the debates.
The seven joint debates of 1854 and
the continuation OF the discussions in
1858 were reported for q Chicago
newspaper by Mr.. White. The speaker
said Douglas probably was the big
gest man in the United States at the
time of the debates while Lincoln was
described as an unknown country law
yer. story teller and . politician
