Mr. Davidge said rather than there shout!d ba | any delay the defence would agree that this witness thould be examined to-morrow if he should arrive. Mr. Henkle, for Colonel Whitley, said that his client did not krow such a man as Britton, and if he was placed on the stand they desired 4b oppcrunity to find out who be was. ‘The ceurt replicd that ample op,ortunity would be given. MR. EMITHERS OPENS THE CASE FOR THE Dr- PENDANTS. Mr. Smithers, for the aerendants, opened the case tu the Jury. One of these defendants at whom the shatts of the prosecation were prin- cipaliy leveled was born in his town, and when be (H: reington) ar ived at maturity thei rela- tions Gecame those of preceptor and pup Hote they knew how he had conducted hi mse! denly he tinds his friend arraigned be- bar at which he has conducted the Naturally the accused] turned y ,and hence he (the speaker) finds himself here as his defender, and he thought himself fo tunate In haying an op- porsunity to repay tue kindnesses of Mr. H.'s father to him. Mr. thers explained the acter of the o arged, aud said the | om were required to prove these charge; and Low bad they proved it?

The telegram from M. Johnson, “securities good, invest,” will be tully explained and shown to be a mere paper wad. They would show that M. Jobnson was a connter- feiter, indicted in Boston, and was on bail, and Whitley and Applegate were searching for him in order to obtain the reward of the securities. ‘These four facis are relied on, and if their reie- vancy is passed upon there will not be ashadow against him. ‘Mr. Smithers then referred to hie young friend, A. B. Williams.

On reaseembling, Mr. Smithers continued his opening tor the defendants. nothing had been shown speaking of Mr. Harrington, said that he de- sired first to call the attention of the jury to Hayes’ testimony, in which he says his Mrstin | terview with Mr. Harrington was on the 2vd, but subsequently stated that it was on the 10th. He thought there was a reason for the change, | and the witnesses declaration that “itwasa bad | thing for Harrington to arrest him,” was a cua | | to it. It then became necessary to Ing in Har- rington, and brving no ‘conscience he | did so.’ He was the personification of in | teliect without consclence—sharp, shrewd, He elaimed that | against Williams, and and calculating, but without any conscience.

Every houest, law-abiding citizen ought to be glad to rejoice with them that this young man who for six months had been held up by a men- dacious public press as guilty of tuis charge, and this paper, not satisied, had attacked the Court and jury, woukd now have anopportunity to place himself right. As to that part of the evidence that Nettlesbip parted with H. on phere street, N. Y.,on April 20tb to have an interview with Dick, they could show that Mr. H. was not in that city, As to the conversation as to the combination, which was of no earthly consequence, they would show that Nettieship wss not here at tbe time. Hayes also swears to an interview at the jail with Harrington. No one being present, they could not disprove it by witnesses, but they would rely on the character of Hayes, the fact that he had falsified vi~ ously, the charscter of the accused, and the discrepancies tn the reported iuterview.

Hussey, Himber, Finley, Gleason, an s, who bore testimony to tae uniform courtesy shown them by the olficlals, Mr. Lucas explained that the treatment com plained of was contined to only a few indivice nals. Another thing he desired to call the a‘- tion of the association to was the advertlae- ments for proposals for sewers, sidewalke, curb- g, grading, &¢., which looked like a monop- oly. ‘The old corporation used to give out this class of work by wards, thereby dividing it up among the contractors and encouraging a whole- some competition. There are now twenty-two atlve districts, or were before the present form of government, and in his judgment it would be much better to divide iy this work into the districts named. DICTATION UNCALLED POR. The chair stated that the remarks were not in order; that the association have no husiness to ctate to the Commissioners or to Lieut. Hoxie about oificial management. The association is not termed for that purpose, bul rather tor mutual protection. If injustice or pecuniary loss is eustained by any member through the District officials, it was their province to send « committee to them and represent the tacts ant respectfully ask for relief. Mr. Fin'ey remarked that he thonght both @ulogy and criticism of the District officials was out cf place. M ‘a8 moved that & committee be ap- pointed to wait upon the Commissioners and Ack that the work be diy ded up by the old 'egis- lative or couneil distrieta. Considerable discussion followed. Mr. Himber remarked that he did not think the purpose of the Commissioners was to give out new contracts. Mr. Hussey was opposed to the project of going to the Commissioners with such com Dlaints; they have their own duties to perform, ard itwas for the contractors to shape their course te suit the action of the Commissioners.

You “have struck precisely the right pail upon the head, and have awakened a feeling in our business community that until now has not found expression. One of your morning cotemporaries, following in your wake in discussing the subject, falls into the error of saying that the nabit is confined mostly to, persons in government employ, who 0 elsewhere to buy because thoy are indebt re. This would seem plausible if it were like- ly that they could buy goods upon credit out of town; but this, as a rule, they cannot do, hence why should they incur the e: other cities and getting rid of their cash, which could be used to better advant here? ‘The facts of the case are, as I well know, this class of people do nothing of the sort.
