Somerville (indicted with Har- Whitley, Nettleship, Bliss, alias and Benton,) on the charge of con- spiracy in connection with the alleged safe burglary to the Disirict Attorney’s office, in April, 15i4, was resumed. There was @ mucd jarger @tiendance than on yesterday, and numbers of new faces were among the aud! ence. General Babcock, with his coansel, Judge Fullerton and Col. Cook. was the first to appear, followed by Mr. Somerville and Col. Totten, his counsel. MR. WELLS’ OPENING ARGUMENT. Distriet Attorney Wells commenced his opening argument at 10:10 o’clocs, stating that the defendants were indicted with others, among them one man &@ fugitive and two serving out terms In the peaitentiary, and it would be for the jary, afier bearing ibe evidence, to pass upon the guilt or inno- cence of the accused. He described the offense of conspiracy, and said that if they proved that these men on trial here had cormmitted one covert act in furtherance of the conspiracy the government was entitled verdict; it was pot necessary to prove more. He then recited the charges of the indict- ments, thaton April lith, 1574, the defead- an tered into a conspiracy to injure Co- lumbus Alexander by engaging certain parties (burglars) to break into @ safe ana take the contents to the bouse of Alexander and to cause him to be suspected of being concerned in the burglary and to be arrested therefor; that on April 18th, 1574, they caused to be represented to Alexander that certain books used in the District investigation were false, and that be would be furnished with tne genuine books; that they caused the books to be placed in the safe; that they caused an anonymous letter to be sent to Harringion informing him that the safe would be broken open on a certain night; that two police offi- cers were procured to watch the building; that two of the conspirators entered the building and blew open the safe; that they were allowed to leave the building, and one was followed to the house of Alexander, but failing to obtain admission there, the con- spiracy failed in its object, and one of the men (Benton) was ; thaton May 5th they procured an affidavit from Benton that he bad been employed to break the safe by Alexander, and oa May 8th they induced Michael Hayes to make an affidavit corrob- orating Benion. government expected to prove that there was at the time in Congress @n inquiry as to truth of the ca in the memorial of Alexander and otuers, in which: the books of Evang were used; tiat Babcock was engineer in charge of public butidings and grounds, and that his measarements as such was one subject of inquiry; that Har- ripgton was Assistant District Attorney and counsel for the board of public works; that Whitley and Nettleship were of tae sury Secret service; that Sommerville was a lawyer of New York, and Benton ja professional thief. They expected to prove Ubat on the 17th of April, Alexaader having expressed his doubts as to the genuineness of the books presented, they formed the oa. spiracy; that Harrington had frequent in- terviews with Babcock, and Babcock went to Bantield and asked for Whitley; that Whitley was sent for; that Baboock invited Whitley to dine with Harrington; that Whitley on Sunday went to Babcock’s, and was instructed to meet Harrington at the club house, and that be did so; that Mr. Harrington ve the names of the memorialists to Mr. Whitley, and explained that they would give anything almost to get the books of Evans. The re- Jt was thet Nettleship was called in and Zirruth and Overworth, two Treasury o; ratives, were employed, but Harrington did not like the latter's work. Harrington go in- formed Whitley, and said that he had a plan which was the breaking open of the safe and takiog the books to Alexander, to bring the the memorialists into derision. Harrington ‘aid the parties would not be punished for he was the real District attorney. Nettleship was to manage the details, and Carter was employed in place of Overworth to work With Zirruth in getting in with Gibson, of the Sun, Adams add others. Hayes was then employed, and was told that tne case was in Controlier Greeu’s safe in New York. He oceeded to relate what Hayes did in getting in with Demaine, and related an interview Nettleship had with Harrington, in which the latter said that they wanted to blow the thing up. —— was surprised that Harrington kpew all the details which he had communicated to Whitley, and which the latter communicated to Babcock. The introduction of Hayes to Demaine by Zir- ruth (under the name of Butler) and the in- terview of Hayes with Alexander was next related, as also an interview of Hayes with Nettleship at Philadelphia, when Nettie- ship spoke of the anooyrnous letter to besent to ton, and was told to get the maa to crack the safe, and Hayes went. Whitley —— that Miles would bea man, and Netileship went to Somerville to find Miles, and it was arrange? th: there should be a it was all right, and to be under the di- rection of the Distriet Attorney.

They followed him, and Benton, missing his way, asked Major Richards which was F street, and was told, and he was followed to No. 1007 F street north- ‘West, where he rang the bel! several times. but could not gain admission. He came back to 10th street and asked if Columbus lived there, and Harrington answered Alex- ander did. He went back to the house, aud Major Richards ordered his arrest. Tne making of the affidavits by Benton and Hay¢s, to the effect that the work was done for Alexander, are alluded to, and Mr. Wells charges that the conspirators by procuring them were gullty of su’ tion to perjury. Hayes was induced to sign the affidavit by Somerville, and at the instance of Nettleship wen, to Canady.

The defence waived an opening, and after fome discussion as to what will be admitted ip proof, the government called Columbus Alerander, who testified that he Was one of the memorialists,and was the Person named in the indictment; that books purporting to be those of Jobu O. Evans were before the Congressional investigating committee, and when he saw them he mate the remark that, in his belief, ine books had been manufactured for the purpose, and were not the genuine books. The Rawlings square, the P street circle, and reservation 17 were subjects of investigation, and Gen. Ba cock’s measurements about these squares were inquired into, Cross-examiued by Mr. Cook:—Witness made the remark about ths books ia the commitice room, and during its session, but could not say in what month it was; thinks it was in April, for it was getting hot In the committee room about that time; don’t recollect whether there was a witness on the stand at the time; thinks there was test!- roony given as to measurements of General Babcock about the same time. There were Ee charges against him in the memorial. is testimopy,ih his opinion, was by Mr. Severson ox Mr. Demrinc. A recess was taken until 1 o'clock. WHITLEY’S PARDON. After recess the District Attorney stated that he Eo to put on the stand Col. H Cc. Whitley, who was one of the parties charged, but desired before doisg so to place On the record a conditional pardon or immu- nity granted him. r. Welle read the paper in question,a letter of Attorney Gent Pierrepont, dated March 31, 1876, addressed to Hon. J. Proctor Knott, of the House Judiciary Committee, granting Whitley full immunity and pardop if he “will fall and tra! 1 disciosures make in regard to the safe burglary,” appended to which is the resolation of the committee di- recting the delivery of the letter tohim. He asked tbat the letter be put on the record, and then entered a nolle pros. COL. WHITLEY'S TESTIMONY. Col Whitley was sworn, and in reply to Mr. Riddle testified that he was chief of the Treasury secret service for six years, his superior betug Mr. Bavileld; that be was in Florida in February, 1574, and came here ou March lth, and reported to Mr. Banfield. Question.—_Did you report to Gen. Bab. coce? Judge Fallerton objected. Question.—Did you see Gen. Baboock? liners —I did’ I went to nis office; hada conversation with Gen. Babcock; think I told bim why I came, and mentioned that | understood that a man named Felker wanted to get my place. Gen. Babcock s#id that he Would render me what assistance he could. He went on to say that in an investigation they had charged him wits false measure- ments, and be might want my assistance; that @ man named Demaine had deer mak- ing these charges. This wason the iith or 12-hof March. Don’t know that I said that Banfield bad told me to come to see Bab. cock. Witness made his beadtquarters at 52 Blu- ker strect, N. Y., and had in bis office Net- Ueship, Del O'Ma, and Cuuz. Witness went to New York on the 12th, but returned on the 15th, in consequence of a telegram from Mr. Banfield; reported to him at his (B.’s) house, and went to Gen. Babcock’s house. This was in consequence of having seen Banfield; did not see General Baboock at his owp house, but found him at the White Howse, and had some conversation as to the probabilities of retaining his place, after which Gen. Babcock told witness about the charges against him, boock,) aud directed him to go to see Harrington. Gen. Babcock said that he had ex; ted Mr. Harringtou and witness to breakfast with him. Witness next saw Mr, Bapfield, and Mr. B. weut with him to show him the club house on New York avenue, where he ex- pected to have found Harrington, but did not fee him until after he had waited some time. Witness and Harrington tuen had some con- versation. The defence objected to the ¢»versition being given, on the ground that it had not beeo shown that Harrington was aconspira- tor, but th 8 was overruled by th: court d:- eins that it could beadmitted f sr ihe pres- en’ An exception was noted. Witness coutinued:—Harringtoa took a letter from his pocket ard asked witness ‘f the signature was that of A. B. Corneil, aud Witness said it was not. He said that some of Pinkerton’s detectives were here, aud be should end some of his men over to work in with the memorialists and fin! out what they were doing; witness sent men over.

He told ‘Witness that the men him and go ahead. Hesaid he didn’t care if his into trouble, and Harrington there was no danger, as he was District at- torney and they would not be burt. The defence raised an objection toa ques- ton as to what instructions had been given to Nettleship, and after some discussion the court sustained the objection. ‘Witness came from New York on the 29th and returned on the same night, and he came over again on the 8th of April,when he saw Gen. Babcock at his office. Witness asked how matters were about the investi- gation, and he said all right, that Harring. ton kept him posted up. itness was again in Washington on the 27th or 23th. on le~ gram from Mr. Harringtop, and saw and conversed with him.

The health department of Baltimore, in view of some increase in the number of cases of typho-malarial on Feil’s Point, have de- termined to inaugurate more stringent meas- ures to it the spread of the disease. Several new cases were reported yesterday, prine!paliy in the eame houses and locality in which the origipal cases occurred. It is understood that orders will be issued fo day to isolate ard quarantine all tne patients ‘hat will Dot consent to be removei to the Marine hosital, and a proper number of police will be detailed in connection with this duty. Three of the patients consented Jesterday to removal. There have been eight deaths on the Point from the sickness up to this time, including Mrs. Kenney, Guilford aliey, South Baiti- more, who died yesterday morning, and who contracted the disease from narsing some of the sick on tue Point. The following are the present cases of the sickness as far known: Anton Tichy, aged 18, Jennie Tichy, Joseph Zwak, Mrs. Zwak and Mrs. Kissel, No 352 South Caroline street; Mrs. Wecedoo, No. 350, and Catherine Lefek, No. 354 South Caroline street; Joseph Sholth (0. 7 Nel. 8on’s court, near Caroline street; Frederick Grauf and wife and Mary Podzimek, 333 South Dallas street; two children of Bernard Menken, and wifeand child of Henry Blades, No. 109 Lancaster street; Mrs. Arnold and son, No. 343 South Bond street, making sev- evteen in all pow sick. The patients receive the most careful attention from Drs. Evans, McSherry, Rebberger, Winternitz and Cor- nelius. They are also visited daily by Dr. Stevart, bealth commissioner, and occasion- ally by Dr. E. Lioyd Howard, physician to the Marine hospital. Dr Masters, medical reporter of the New York World, while in Baltimofe yesterday went, in en with Dr. Steuart, Dr. Mc- Sherry, and Dr. Winternitz, to visit some of the worst patients, and afterwards called on Mayor Latrobe, with whom he had @ long interview. Dr. Masters said he believed the disease to be endemic and not dangerous. If be had thought it dangerous, he sald, he would not bave placed bLimseif in contact with it. He told reporter of the Sun thit Dr. Steuart, Dr. Howard, and the attending physicians of the patients knew better what the disease was than himself, and they had told him it was typbo-malarial fever. He, however, afterwards expressed his belief that the disease was yellow fever, though he had done the same thing before seeing any of *he — 8 of disease at Feil’s Point.—{ Salt. Sun, 20th.

What the ministers ought to do— teach the people to pray toGod. This may be religion, but it certatoly is not Christian- ity. [Applause.)
