The Bonato has tabled tho bill to subsidize the . Wobb lino of Australian atoamers. The House has, withont & division, declared that, in ite opinlon, it is unwise and contrary to tho publio interests to .code pny part of Goat + IXsland for railroad purposes. The Government has extonded to Fob, 20 the time within jwhich it will roceivo spplications from those who wish to become exhibitors at Vienna, i — Ever sinco tho derangomont of the cable be- tween Florida and Ouba, our nawa from that 3sland hins boen, on tho average, two daya old. A new cable is boing propared, and will be lald #n time to restore instantancous communication .between Havana and tho United Btates beforo cummer, , Thero was no quorum to conduct the bueiness ‘of the Btate Senate, yosterdsy, as most of tho acombers “had gome to Quincy to attond the uneral- of Mr. Bushnell,, For tho same roason, .the attendanco was slight in the Lowor House, «rhich adjouined " sftor making tho bill for tho . sbolition of the Police Board of this- city the apoolal ordor for Tuesday next. The Mormons are feeling their way into Ari- gona; 200 Baints havo been ordered on to open .the way for colunies from Utab, which will rango themeolves along the route of tha thirty-Aifth parallol Pacifio Railrond,. Arizons nas long beon ono of the moat postiferons nests of savages on the Continont, but if this hardy and prolific poo- plegain a hold in that territory, the Indian quos- tion will bo simplified as military oxpeditions could nover do i The soat in the Logislature left vacant by the death of Mr. Bushnell will be filled by an olec- tion, which hasbeen ordered for March 4. Mr. Bushnoll's dietrict lies in Adams County, which is Democratic, a2d te was olacted a8 8 Republi- ¢an by the Republican minority under tho new systom of proportional representation. In tho coming eloction, the partieswill bo pitted against oue snothor as in an ordinary election, and the minorlty may lose its Reprasontative. Ths Mayor, last night, sent to the Common Councit tho uames of C, . P, Xolden and John Herting to A1l the yacanoles in tho Polico Poard. In consequenco of objections being made to their immedinte confirmation, tho nominations woro referred to the Judiciary Committeo, Tho members of the Committee nre known to favor the firm courso taken by tho Mayor, and to have no sympathy with thio riotioug eloment in the Police Board. It s bolioved that thoy will, ina few days, make o favorable report upon thgse -nominations, at & spocial meoting which may be galled for that purpose, Wice Prosident Colfax lectured on Sunday aight {n Baltimoro on the ovils of in t3mperanco. Bpeaking of intomperance led to the saubject of logislation for intemporance, ond, speaking of legislation, led in tho most natural way in the world to Credit Mobilior. Not oven this raunda- bout appronch was nocousary, for very fow peo- plo would dieagroe with Mr. Colfax if he had ‘botdly placed the Oredit Mobilior frauda asamong tho most conspicuous instancos our time aifords of the evils of intemperanco, There are othor kinds of intemporance than thealcoholio sort, In- atead of dwelling upon this obvious and fortilo topio, Mr. Colfax simply took advantage of his sudionce, and the publicity of tho occasion, to #mako n porsonsl plea in connection with recent disclosuros, P— A bill hea been introduced into the Législa- ture of New York to authorizo the construction of a ship-canal from the Hudson River to Lake Chemplain to pasa¥vessels of 1,000 tons burden. It fe claimod that tite Oaughnawags Canal will bo built, and the Welland and the Bt. Lawrenco Lonals,of & similar size, will be comploted by +tho timo the New York canal can ho finfshed. The ocost of the work will e somo ©8,000,000, ‘fhe bill providos for tho_ improvomont of tho Hudson by locks and dams, wo prosume, to Fort Edward, and from thenco north o the lako. The dlstanco is only 80 milos. 1t 1s to bo hoped tho Btato of Now York will not wlth onergy in this mattor, for only in this way will sho bo ablo, & fow years honee, to rotain any considerablo share of the produco trade of tho West. Bhipments to Europo will bo quito BUYC,, in any ovent, to go by Montreal and Quobeo di- roct. — Tho substituto propared by tho Sonato Ti-- nance Committeo, in place of Mr, Buckingham's il for the roaumption of spocio payments, was bofore the Bonato yostordny. Tho third section of the subatituto was amended to make it man- datory upon sl banks after noxt January to re- doem tholr notes, at cortain places to bo fixed by law, in coin or legnl-tendor notos. In the dobato, Sonator Schurz .asked ff this DIll would not, by turnlng large quantl- tlon of greonbacks into the Tremsury, onable the Boorotary toflood and control the money market at lia plossure. 'To this Mr. Shormon mado the frank anewer that the Becrotary slready find this powor; thatall our Inwa doponded for their value on his discretion and Intogrity ; that Lo .could, under prosont laws, direct bis ndministration, if he chooso, to hia own profit and tho oppresalon of the publie, Mr, Bayard thought, it this wero so, somo- thing ought to bo done to bring tho Booretary under tho control of law, nnd to releaso the poo- Plo from such dangorous porogatives. The Canada Parhinment, it is asunounced, will meot at Ottawn, March 8, fortho dospatch of busfnoss, and tho first buainoss will be fo doter- mine whothor Sir John A.Macdonald's Administra- tion has o majorityin tho Commons, now eqnally claimod and donfed. This will bo tho firat mos- slon of the Second Dominion Parlinment, clect- ¢d, Iast gummor, for five yoars, The Iirst Dominion Parlinmont (that which confirmed the Trenty of Washington), was eloctod in 1867, and finnlly prorogued Juno 14, 1872, Aftor tho oloc- tions for the now Parliament, it will be romom- bored, widely difforont rosults wore claimed by Administration and Opposition organs, but it is yeory cortain that in supplomentary elections, to fill vacancies, tho Administration was overy- where, And, in some cages, conepicuonsly, beaten. The unusual delay in summoning this Parlia- ment, and the Cabinet changes that have boen or aro being made, give color ta tho clatm of tha Opposition that 8ir Jolm s only postponing the day when ho must givo place to Mackonzle., Tho Chicago Advance domands a full investi- | gotion of the Boocher gcgndal, Tho ground vpon which it bases tho domand is, that 3r, Beochor s entitled to bo freed from all sus- picion, No sorious amount ot suspicion hing over been attached to Mr. Beocher, bocause of tho charges against him him by tho Woodlmll- Olaflin pistera. If thore isto bo an investiga- tion of any kind, lowever, wo cannot agroe with tho Adranco, that resort to sn eccles- instinl court’ would bo guficiont. That sorb of trinl does not convinco the peopla of tho criminglity or innocence of clorical offenders If Mr. Boochor or higfrionds desiro ihat he phould vindicate himself by trial, tho plain courso for him to pursuc is to bring an action for libel against the Claflin sisters. 1t i posst- blo that General Butlor, who is & good Inwyor, is in the right when ho tells thoso women that thoy Liavo s sufficient dofenco againat tho proscoution for circnlating obacene literaturo through the mails, and that the only actlon that can properly bo brought against thom is that of Iibel. The Chicago produce markots wore quiet yes- forday, with fow marked changes in_ prices. Mess pork waa dull and Be por brl lower, at $11.95@12.00 cash, and §12.25@12.90 soller March, Lard was quiot and Go por 100 lbs lower, at $7.25@7.90 cash, and 87,60@7.55 seller Mareh, Ments woro dull and s shade oasier, ot 874@4e for shonlders; pY{@Cc for short ribs; '6%{c for short clear, and 73{c per Ib for 17-Ib groen hams. Dressed hogs were activa and Go por 100 s lower, at $4.06@4.60 for hoavy. Highwinos wero inactive, and nominally firm at 8714@88c por gallon, Flour was quiot and a shado firmer. Wheat was quiet and sieady, closing strong at $1.25%¢ cash, and $1.28 soller March, Corn was nctivoe and sieady, closing at 803¢c cash, and 81%(o sellor March. Oats wore quiet snd steady at 2514@2634c cash, and 20%@203{0 sollor March. Ryo wa quiot and steady at 3@ ©8ge. Barloy was dull, and 2@30 lower, closing ot 720 for No. 3, and 60¢ for No. 8, Tive hogs were modorately active at 100 decline, or at $3.75 @4.16. Tho cattlo trade was dull at sbout last weok's pricos, Bheep wero unchanged. By the burning of the Court Ilouso at Queboo, Bunday, thero waa lost a vory rich collection of oftieinl archives and listorical and legal docu- ments,—among them nll the records of tho Prov- inco of Lowor Canadas, These papers,—fow of which can bo roplaced,—related to the discovery ond oxplorgtion of Canadn, tho St. Luwronce, and the lokes, and throw light on tho emly aunals of muck of the country now within the northern boundary of tho United Blates, The dostructive flres that follow cach other so rap- idly in overy dircction aro doing havoc against which no undorwriters oan insuro us. In the Chicago firo, besides the treasures of private collections and of institutions like the Academy of Beloucos, histprical documents, treating of the oarly days of tho Northiwest, wero irromediably lost ; in Boston, many of the gran- to wavehouses that wero burned held collec- tiona, like thoso of the lato historlan, Prescott, which had been put in them for safe keeping, What tho Turks did in ono grand auto-da-fe, in tho destruction of the Aloxandrian Library, is boing repestad, in detail, and with an‘appalling aggrogato of loszes, through modern helploss- noss, bpfore our master, fire. It it bo truo fheé the Poland Committee's ro- port to tho Houso will be based on the principle that our Congrous cannot go back of the dote of its olection to nyestiggto tho charactor and con- duct of its mombory, thero was very little nocos- ity to call a Committoo togother for the purposs of investigating Congresesional connection wjith Crodit Mobilivr frauds. Theno frauds oxtonded pver a number of years, and it is probable that most of -them wore comswumated boforo the convening of the presont Congress. If, thon, thio prosput Congress ia to take no cognizanco of tho guilt of its mombhors whilo they were mombors of n formor Congress, tho culprits in Credit Mobilior stand a good chance to escapo punfshment. Tho poople of {his country havo & difforont ideaof the coutinuity of Congrees, If Mr, Brooks, Mr. Bingham, Mr. I’atternon, and tho othors implicated, wero membors of Congross b the timo of the frauds end aro still momboers of Congreng, tho American poopio will not piace #ny faith In the technleal distinction of tormp. ‘These men will bo shnply roxardod as coryupt Congressmon, and tholr oxpulsion will be do- manded. It s claimod that the principlo thus onunclated fs based upon English Parliamentary practico, To thia we may answer, that English Parliamentary practice has novor yot ind to doal with a Crodit Mobillor of tho American desorlp- tlon, — Bome dnys ngo, Tux Tninune took oceaslon to point to the corruption doveloped in tho Oredit Moblior investigation na bearing tho moral that Governmont should never go into business on its own account. We thon said that such frauds ‘would havo beon almost impossible if the Union Taclflo Road had boon tho work of private ontor~ prise; or, if thoy had ocourred, it would not hinve boon necossary to corrnpt Congressmon and QGovornment officora to make them fonsible, To this tho Davonport Gazelte takes oxcoption. It holda that thera aro cortain entorprises which can nevor come to & complotion without Govern- mont nid or interferonco. It mays that tho building of the [Pacific Tonds was such an entorprise. This i3 by no monns clear. Even tho Gazlle admits as muoch when it says that the project would have- boon dolayod quartor of & century, It would be difficult to domonstrato even this much, It Con- grosa bad determinad, for good- and all, that it would not go into tho railronding businoss, wo do not beliovo that it would have boen tivonty- flve yoars, nor flye years, beforo tho oapitalista of this country would have sot about bullding 8 ‘Paclfio Road. At prosont, tho Paclfic Railroads roprosont a cost of about $210,000,000. It has beou domonstrated that’ tho roads could havo been'conetructed for about-half this sum. The amount of Governmont bonds glven to tho Union Pacific snd Contral Pacific Roads 1s ovor §65,000,000. Tho whole of this amount of money has beon stolon, over nud above tho amount that the ronds should actually have cost. Tho fact is, then, that the Govornment hns not roally assisted in the building of the ronds, but that tho monoy which it contributed has been diatributed among thieves, Congressional and othorwiso, who took advantage of tho Govern-' ment connection to perpetrate frauds which could never havo escapad detoction undor pri- vato managomont. Moroover, had the Pacifie Roads cost not half*as much, tho stock that is liold by privato indlviduals would bave beon worlh just twico as much as it is now. Tha Govornment connoction with tho rond has been only a detrimont to those who havo honestly in- vosted thoir manoy, without sharing any Crodit Mobilior steals, — THE MAYOR AND THE POLICE, Tho Staats-Zeitunghas concluded to follow Tz Trinuxe's advicoin rogard to itatreatmont of the confliot botweon the Mayor and the deposed mom= Dors of the Police Board, and, in its issuo of yos~ torday, it disonsses tho situation more becom- ingly, if not more rationally, than horstofore. In abandoning the inflammatory process of stir- riug up all tho bad blood of thoso who are.op~ posad to law and order, and all tho hot blood that followa consfrued insults or supposed perse- cution on nccount of nativity, the Slaals-Zeitung is entitled to moro consideration, oven if its viows will not bear tho scrutiny of legal con- struction, than it could recoivo from respectablo peoplo 80 loog as it adhered to ity former courst, 2 The opinion is expressed that the Mayor conld not romove membors of the Board of Polics, be-, causo thoy wero ofcoted by the pooplo of tho county, in spito of the explanation mado by Tie Tnmuns of Sunday, aud §t fi held to bo absurd that o city officor can exorcigo authority oyor a county officer. It is woll known that the Board of Police is in no sonso a county Board, and can- not be lkoned in character to the Board of County Commissionors. When tho Legislature passed o law providing that this Board should Lo oleoted by the peoplo of the county, it was done for parlisan purposes, It was also done undor an amendment to thoe existing Oity Obarter. ‘When the Mayor's bill became s law, it express- 1y provided that ho should havo the powor of ro- moval and gppointment over all Boards organized under the Oharter or amondments theroto, the Legisloturo thus recognizing tho faot that Boardsgo conatituted aro essontially city Boards. It was cleprly tho intention to' give tho Mayor the anthority which ho has re- cei:tly oxorciged in the cnsos of Mesars, Reno and Klokke, But, if Mayor Medill had the right to remove Reno and Klokko, tho Staats-Zetlung still claime that his position is untonable in Fecognizing Mr. Washburn as Chief of Polico. It. argues that tho Board had the right to suspend Washburn ; that tho suspension occurred before tho xomoval of tho two Polico Commissionors; ond, thoreforo, that Mayor Medill had no right {o yocognize Washburn as Superintendont. The srgument would bo good if tho premises were corract. 'The fact is, that, undor the law, tho Doard of Polico bad no right to romovo Washburn., The power of romoval of all oily oflcors is vested in tho Mayor, It was o meresssumption for the Board, then, to rempve a city officor whom tho Mayor Lnd appointed, Tho Board, in fact, had already recognized tho Mayor's exclusive power in this respect. It hadsubmitted to his appoint- mont of Washburn ae Superinfendont. What power the Board may have hed Dbefore the Bayor's bill becamo a law, has nothing to do with tho prowont issue. Any prior laws con- flicting with tho presout lnw wore necossarily ro- pealed by tho passage of the lator law. Of coureo, this loaves #ho Board of Polics & mero euperfluityy but this is only areason why the Bourd should bo abolished altogother, aud not why it should be pormitted to fmpedo thoe course of the Iaw. Tho conflict of suthorlty is practically sottled to-day by tho declared allogiance of the Captaing and polico forco to Buperintondent Wash- burn, and by filling tho Board with succossors to tho doposed Commissionors. Mesars, Iloklkoe &nd Jlono pre loft to contest the matter in tho *Courts if they think that it will pay to do so. This {s tho situation that shonid havo prevailed from the vory momont of Mayor Modlil's firat action intho matter. It iy probable, too, that such would linve bown the case had it not beon for the violont course adopted by the Staats-Zei- tung, and ono or {wo persons who have assumoed to be tho Jogdors of tho opposition to the conati- tuted authority, In this view of tho mattor, tho losson may not be without profit, o —— AN ARGUMENT FOR BUBSIDY. In tho many bills pending boforo Congreas thoro I8 & display of ingonuity that, if applied to honost schiemes, would bp commendable. Whon Qongross in approachod for g sybpidy, the first {hing done s to propara a statomant or argys ment by which membors can apologize'to thefr coustituents for voiing for tho fraud, Thoso erguments aro, of course, not intended or oxpect~ || ed to convinco mowmbors, who, however vordapt thoy may bo, are not so wuintelligont as not to 800 through tho job ; bus they arafurnished- the membors that the Iattor mny oxplain to tholr # country" constituonts the wisdom of robhing tha Trensury. An inatance of this kind is far- ‘nished In soms figurea prosonted to Congroess in support of a stosmship subsldy. ‘Tho Qompany aske Congress toissue National bonds to the Company for £18,000,000, for which thero aro to bo built twonty iron stoam- ships ; the Company to pay the principal of the bonds nt tho eud of Lwonty yoors, tho stonm- shipa to bo tho socurity, In roturn for thia loan of monoy, tho Company gravely slates tho fol- lowing pecuniary results: Thocost of mnin- taining the twonty stoamehips for twenty yonrs will bo §140,000,000, Iu that timo tho Company willeducate a numbor of sailors, whoso oducation will boworth to the country $4,480,000. TheGov- ornmont in these twonty years willrecoivo 78 per yonr from taxes from each Iaboror and mechanic brought over to ihis country; that the number of thoso will bo 12,000 o yenr, nud the total rovenuo from this sourco will bo $19,200,000. ‘The Company oxpect to bring ovor and land in tho Bouth 40,000 jmmigrants overy yeer, and thot oach immigrant is worth $1,000 to the Gov- Jernment,- and in twonty yeara tho aggregato woalth realized by tho country from thia sourco will bo $800,000,000. Tho rosult of “all this s, that, at tho oud of tho twonty yoars, the account curront will stand as follows ¢ Governmont profits on 800,000 immigranta 881,000 Cactuuvnress ! o 800,000,000 Government tax on 340,000 19,200,000 Worth of saflors educated, 4,480,000 Money oxponded by Steamslip Gompany.. 145,000,000 “Total cash benofte to tho Govornmont, 900,080,000 All this monoy {8 tho profitjof moraly lending this ono Bteamship Company ©18,000,000, which monoy will be pnid back at tho end of twonty years. This ostimato is deflelont In ono ime portant item. If the mere loan of $13,000,000 will, in twenty years, not tho Government §909,000,000, why not double the loan, snd therehy doublo tho beneflts ? Why coufiue thiy grand investmont to onoline? Why not have twonty linos, lending to ocach 26,000,000, and thue onablo the Government to make, in o ainglo your, enough to pay off tho wholo pullic dobt? What n world of troublo it would savo Mr, Boutwell. Thora would bo no further wuwse of Byndicates, and the further issue of 5 or 4 por cents would bo avoided; all taxation, except, of course, on tho mechanica and laborors, would be unnecos- sary, and tho Govornment would have enough ‘monoy to buy up all the rest of the Amorican Continent, including tho Atlantio snd Paclfio islands. The history of financo may bosearched in voin for such & productivo loan as thia $18,000,000 will bo. Ono objoction to it is, that it is too emall, Why not make it $100,000,000 at onep, and thus forever xid thia Government of all furthor financial troublo, and render taxation of all kinds forever unnecossary ? When that subsidy bill comes up, each mom- hor of Congross who votes for it will send to his conatituonts the sbove recital aud oatimates of tho money value of tho bonofits to result from possing the bill, and constituonts willbe ox- pected to bolleye that the only inducomont the momber had for voting for it was thoe oxpeota- tion that tho Governmont would receivo en- nually 248,000,000 dividend for tho mera logn of $18,000,000. Itis & snd commontary upon our Logislaturo, when the Committeo on Commeres || of tho Houso of Representatives gave one day's sosslon to hoaring this argument in favor of this subsldy robbory. ITALIAN OPERA, It ia ono of tho indireot signs of the prosperity and tho rapid progress of Chicago, sinco tho fire, that Itallan opern is once more firly in- stallod in its old position, and that, notwith- standing the high prices of admission and the financialstringonoy of the times, tho sale hasbeen one of the most remnrkablo ovor known in the local records of opora. It was the universal im- pression, at tho timo of the fire, that the mate- rinl reconstruction of tho city might be accom- plished in o short time, although the accomplish- ment has boon mado much gooner thon any ono antlolpated. No . one, however, mnot oven tho most eanguine, expected to soe tho literary, scientifio, and artistio re- sources of the city made good sgain for soveral years, Ono after the other, howeyoer, they bave found thoir old places, and now oven tho Italian opera, which is the most expensivo of luxuries, commoncos a season with the most brilliant of prospects, and with a snle which has not been surpassed in any other city. The musical succoss of tho scason, it must bo confossed, depouds almost oxclusively upon Madame Lucea and Miss Kellogg. As in most other troupes, the “stars” will have to boar the burden. Tho opera, like tho drama, in this country, secms to lave pnssed tho timo whon anything like o complete en- semle is expocted. Thoe sbsuwrd pricos paid to primo donnas indeed make ib impossiblo for menagors to organizo g troupo in which the de- groes of qualification in ortiata shall bo propor- tionate, without charglug a rate of edmission which pooplo could not pay, aven it they would. ‘Whon leading artists liko Adalina Patti, Nileson, and Tucen ask from $3,000 to $2,500 por night in gold, and the roating capacity of a thontre or oporn houso can only produco an average of £4,000, it i useless to oxpeet that o manager can bring ecight or ton othor leading singers, & cho- rug of thirty or forty, sau orchestra of fifteon or twouty, who will compare fovorably with the star porformer, and pay all the exponsos of ronts, living, transporta- tion, and priyting, without charging s high price, In fino, Itallan opers, aa b present con- stituted, s tho most oxpensive of luxuries by necensity, Tho remedy rosts with the managers. ‘Whenover managers can combine and dotermine to pay only rensonablo anlatios, thon we may ox- pact to have opera produced fora reasonablo prico, and produced ‘in bettor style than it iy now, This, however, is a question for- the futuro, ‘What concerns tho opera-goors of this city, for ho next two wooks, {8 Lucca and Kellogg.

Bhe lns studiod conscientiously all this time, But she is still s rising young singor, struggling lito o truo woman, In every hionorable way, to win and wear the laurels 8o proudly worn by hor contemporarics, Sho needs en- couragement, and tho best encourngement sho can hisve i recognition by Ler own countrymen, TFor this reason, wo hope that the Kellogg nights will bo well attended, and that ber ad- mirors will not allow her to be eclipsed by ler groat nesoclato, with whom sho alternates, TLucearemaing in this country but a fow months, apd then goos back to Burope.

Tho panel of furors has beon mado up, and it s expected that but littlo timo will bo occupled in solocting tho twelve upon whoso jndgment the murderer's fate will dopond. The trial will last probably thres daya, It is unnecoseary to tell the story of Rafforty's orlmo over again, for it is still fresh fa the minds of the pooplo of Chicago and vicinity, who rfemember it ns the dollberato, eold-blooded shooting down of 6 man who hed dono nothing to offend him. Tho ravolver from which the 1atal enot was fired plaluly tolin tho charactor of ite ownor. It.is sbout & foot in longth, and carrles o bullet almost as largo 08 a riflo-ball. A, peaceably-disposed private citizen would not go sbout armed with such o torrible weapon, Raofforty was romoved from tho jall of Cook County to that of Lako Countyon Saturday. Tho lIatter institution is not a fit placo to confing such » desperato man, It is situated in the bago-~ ment of tho Court Houso, and can bo. easlly entered ll}v any profossional ‘burglar, The baso. ment walls aro about twelvo inclics iu thicknges, and do not rost upon proper foundations, They can bo undermined without much difilculty, Tha Court House yard is surrounded by a woaden fonce, ten foot in hanht, which can be sealed by any inquisitivo urchin anxious to exploro the ingido. The jall doors sro uncommonly thin, and the locks fhereon uncommonly choap. The colls, four in numbor, are constructed of wood, and aro not floored ay thoy should be, The maw ontrance to the jail ig through tha residonce of tho jailor, but if can bq reached from the Courte room. Waulogan fa full of Rafforty's friends, and it is undorstood that they are detormined to rescue him whothor hais scntonced to be hung ornot. Threats have been mado to Lreak into tho rickoety jall, and, if that caterpriso fatled, to net firo to it.” A boon commnion of Raffarty waa once confined in it for thirty dsys, and it is said that he lins voluntoered to load the liborat- ing mob, and polnt out the vulnerable points in th building, Moyor Williama hos been informe ed of this, and ho has taken avory procaution to guard sgainst & surprise. An armed force patrols outside of ll\:rffifl during the night, and orders have been lssued.tc arreot ovory wus~ picious-logking person scon loitering about the premiges, Bhould the prison be set fire to, it is very likely that Rafforty will meoet death in ¢ much more torrible form than of Langing. The npgroschlng trial is the thomo of general conversation in Waukegon, It is discussed at avery corner, and in all the business places. Tho universal vordict is, that Rafferty is guilty of do~ liberate murder, and it is believed that the jury will bo of tho enme opinion whan tho closing :puuchend of defence and progecution have coma 0 oo end. In the journey fram tho jail to tho Courte Room _Rafforty. will pusy benoath the hole through which' the rope with which Bell and Konnedy were hung, somo yoars ago, was stretched.
