LOCAL INTELLIGENCE. Tas Jarsox Case—Third Day.—After we went to press yesterday, Mr Bradley followed the District Attorney, for the defence. Mr. Bradley commenced by expressing the determination to be very brief, but his feelings getting rently interested as the subject opened ebro him, he continued for an hour and a half to address — with a sponta- neous, impetuous fi eloquence, which took the hearts of audience by storm, and brought tears to the eyes of stern men, “‘albeit unused to the melting mood ’’ This was a case, he urged, which did not appeal to the mercy of a jury, and required but little argument addreseed to the under- standing. 1t required no lengthened speech to vindicate one who stood forth as the aven- ger of @ sister’s wrongs - In burning words the speaker went on to brand the conduct of that seducer, who entered the domestic Eden, the cheerful home, and by that happy fireside, like the serpent, beguiled the woman—no, not the woman, the child of sixteen years—until she threw her whole soul upon him, and all hor hopes of happiness were centered in him. F om this young girl, trusting in him with child like simplicity, and towards whom he stood in the relation of husband—for though their vows had not been plighted at the altar they stood together before Heaven as man and wife—he stold the priceless jewel of her me. eo Bradley spoke of the eloquent testi- mony given by the last witness upon the stand, (Mrs. Sefers,) with whose daughter this young girl had be on intimate, at whose house she had been a frequent visitor, and where also the aggressor was a visitor. That witness had told, in the most touching and eloquent lan- guage he ever had heard from the witness- box, how, when the stories of the situation of the young girl were started, she had asked the deceased if they were true; how he de- nied the charge; how, when the stories were revived again, she went to visit the young girl, and found her sick with pneumonia, and with all the ame that she was about to 80,000 applications have famous Dye.

Changing, with electric sudden ness, from this mood, Mr. Bradley brought down his clenched hand with a force that made the massive table spring from the floor, as he enunciated, in trumpet tones, the sen- timent that the law of nature was stronger than any law of society, and if he were to die to-morrow, he’d do to-day as the prisoner did!

Depictiig in glowing language the aggravated nature of the provocation, he con- tended that the prisoner in this deed was de- fending the best interests of society, instead Of invading them. In repeated instances, on the same great question, is there guilt in this action, jurors have agreed to open the prison doors and let the prisoner go free, as a terri- ble warning to the guilty. The offence ot the prisoner was no offence against the law of nature, nor did it invade any of the laws of Society. ts effect was merely to give terrible sanction to the law that the daughter who nestles in our bosoms shall be secure from the arts of the seducer.

The circumstances, he contended, might ad- dress themselves with great power to him who bas the Executive clemency to bestow, but should not have weight with the gury. The District Attorney, going over the evi- dence, urged that the act of killing was a case not of insanity or self-defence, but an act of vengeance.
