He first devoted himself to an argument to the court on law points, He sald that the government con- ceded that that branch of the conspiracy attrib- uted to Turner had not been sustained by proof. He proposed to argue that Turner’s participation in the conspiracy was necessary to the scheme of the indictment, and withou$ him the indictment: Would fail. A part of the séheme was an imposi- tion upon the Postmaster General by false en- dorsements upon papers. To. Turner was attrib- uted this branch of the scheme. The scheme was incomplete without this part, because without this imposition the Postmaster General himself was responsible for the acts complained of. It might have been represented that Brady himself impo: upon the Postmaster General or abused the confi- dence reposed in him. _A'scheme might have been constructed without Turner, but they were not dealing with “what might have been,” but what was actually set out In the indictment. A REMINDER FROM THE JUDGE. Judge Wylie remarked that there had been no noule pros, entered in Turner's case, and the jury had not rendered a verdict. Mr. Henkle claimed that Mr. Merrick had vir- tually discharged Turner from the case, which was equivalent to a noile pros. TURNER STILL ON TRIAL Judge Wylie said Turner was still'on trial. Tur- ner had aright toa verdict. No verdict had been rendered, and for all the court knew, judicially, the jury might find him guilty. The court sug- gested that the proper place for Mr. Henkle’s point Was in a motion for arrest of judgment, supposing ae acquitted Turner and found the others gu Ye Mr. Henkle said his object now was to persuade the court to instruct the jury tbat, if they found that Turner was not guilty, they should also find the others not guilty. Judge Wylie said that returned to the general question, and was in effect asking that if the jury pacaule one of the defendants it should acquit Mr. Henkle cited a number of authorities for the purpose of showing, he safd, that the government was required by statute to'set out with particu- larity, the means by which the object of the con- spiracy was to be accomplished. The unlawful means used were to be set out with the same full- ness and exactness, as would be required if the means itself were c asthe crime. He claimed that the indictment failed in this respect. Mr. Henkle having argued that the means by which the conspiracy was to be effected should be set out with particularity. JUDGE WYLIE SAID the part of the indictment to which Mr. Henkle Teferred described the general character of the conspiracy, and the object of the conspiracy was tocommilt a fraud upon the United States by the use of certain means there described. In describ- Ing the conspiracy the means to be used are in the future. The conspiracy, when it was entered into, might be a general conspiracy for the use of crimi= nal means of a particular class. The conspiracy must precede in date the use of the means. It was impossible for the conspirators to describe exactly what false petitions, what talse affidavits, what fraudulent means were to be used, for those means Were not yet in existence. So the pleader, when he descrifes the nature of the conspiracy, necessarily must have confined himself to the facts as they occurred at the time of the conspiracy; ‘and as none of these papers Were in existence at that time it would be absurd to say that the conspiracy was formed with the View that on a certain specified day a certain paper was to be used, nor would it be possible at the tine of the conspiracy to say that Mr. ‘Turner should on a certain day make certain indorsements. The law was reasonable in all things, and no pleader can commit a faulBif he adheres to the truth of his facts. An indictment, when it de- scribes. a conspiracy, necessarily must describe it according to the fact’ at the time. The accuracy of description claimed by Mr. Henkle was only required when the indictmeAtset out-e past act done in pursuance of the conspitacy, and lot where the conspiracy was described. In regard tothe point raised respecting Turner, 1t was time that the government counsel had announced the intention to ask for a verdict of acquittal as to him, and the court presumed that the jury would not find him gullty in the face of such a request as that. The government has acknowledged that 1t has not made out a case of conspiracy against Turner. It was claimed in Mr. Henkle’s argument that with. Turner out of the case the conspiracy collapses, because Turner was essential to the conspiracy: It appeared to the court that that was not true. WHAT MR. HENKLE WOULD LIKE. Mr. Henkle sald that if the court intended to announce his opinion, he would like to finish his argument first. Judge Wylie satd he thonght Mr. Henkle was through on those points, but would hear him fur- ther. He sald that the others might have con- splred to have Turner do the things charged, and yet Turner might not have done them. He might drop out of the case, and the others still be just as Mable to the charge of conspiracy. Mr. Henkle, continuing to argue, sald that when the prosecution said “exit Turner,” the law said Sexeunt omnes.” ARGUING AGAINST THE RULING OF THE COURT. Mr. Henkle argued at some length against the Yullng of the court respecting the corpus delicti of this offense. Mr. Henkle held that acrime should be proved before confessions could be recetved in evidence. Mr. Henkle then began his address to the jury, He said that when he first came into the case, two or three weeks after the jury was empaneled, he knew none of the defendants. He had read much in the Rewspapers, and had con- eluded from what he read that there was actually monstrous conspiracy, and that these defend- ants were freebooters, as ready to crack the publ erib of the United States as the road agents in the West to despoil the mail coaches. In his intimate relations with Mr. Vafle during the past two months he had learned something about him. Mr. Henkle sketched briefly THE CAREER OF VAILE, and declared him to be a man of the highest char- acter and integrity. The evidence did not justity the denunciation heaped upon him by Mr. Merrick. Vaile, he declared, was the peer of Mr. Merrick. As to Miner, he said that if there were any linea- ments in his face that would mark him as a dis- honest man, as Mr. Ker claimed, he (Mr. Henkle) had not learned to read the human countenance aright. Mr. Henkle declared with emphasis that ne knew Miner was not a thief or a perjurer. Mr. Ker objected to Mr. Miner’s testifying to the character of these defendants, since no evidence of their character had been submitted. . MR. HENKLE RESTRICTED. Judge Wylle said the rule was that no counsel should throw the Weight of hisown personal char- acter and word into the jury box, and restricted Mr. Henkle to such conclusions as he could draw trom the facts in evidence, Mr. Henkle having urged that the counsel for the government had denounced these defendants, Judge Wylie said that they professed to find war- Tant for these e) Sd in the evidence. wi they would never have used; the lang' they had used. - Their large hearts ne out to the defendants in ad indulged in the display of victims were escaping tl filled the land with proclamat as were going to do, and in the defeat they rage, roar and di ants as though they really believed them guilty of bayer e eet ith which they charged them.

A special order has been issued by Gen. Wright, chiet of the engineer corps of the army, with the approval of the Secretary of War, dividing the Misstsstppl river, between Cairo and the head of the Passes, into the following districts for the purpose of improvement and the construction and repair of levees: First district—from Cairo to foot of Island_No. 40, to the charge of which Capt. John G. D, Knight, corps of engineers, is assigned, with station at Memphis or Cairo, at his discretion. Second district—from foot of Island No. 40 to mouth of White river, to the charge of which Capt. Alex. M. Miller, ‘corps of engineers, 1s as- sigued, with station at Momphis, Tenn. Third dis- trict—from mouth of White river to Warrenton, the charge of which 1s assigned to Capt. Wm. L Marshall, corps of engineers, with station at Vicks- burg, Miss. Fourth district—from Warrenton to the head of the Passes, to the charge of witch ts assigned Major Amos Stickney, corps of engineers, With station at New Orleans, La This district will tnelude, besides the levees and special work on the river, the rectification of the Red and Atcha- falaya rivers at the mouth of Red river, | Capt Miller ts directed to transter to Major Stickney the charge of the improvement of the harbor at Nat- chez, and to Capt. Marshall the charge of the im- Provement of the harbor at Vicksburg, Miss. Sentences of Naval Court Martials, A naval court martial on board the Monocacy, at Kobe, Japan, found John Thompson, landsman, and Fritz Stolk guilty of desertion, and the former was sentenced to eighteen months’ imprisonment and the latter to one year’s imprisonment, and both to be dishonorably discharged. Their sen- tences have been approved. Wm. Schultze, sec- ond-class fireman, was found gullty of treating a superior officer with contempt, and was sentenced to imprisonment for one year and to be dishonor- ably discharged. David Tynes, seaman, found guilty of assaulting another pefson in the navy and of disrespect to a superior officer, was sen- tenced to two years’ imprisonment and to be dis- honorably discharged. In consideration of the length of time that Thompson and Tynes have been in confinement, and in view of the prions good character of Schultze, the retary of the Navy has remitted six months of their terms of imprisonment. The sentence in the case of Stolk will be duly executed. A court-martial on board the Palos, at Kobe, found Francis Austin, landsman, gullty’ of disobeying a superior officer and using seditious language, and sentenced him to be imprisoned for two years and to be dishonorably discharged. Pri- vate Ernest C. Walte, marine corp3, was found gullty of drunkenness on duty, assault, &., and was sentenced to two years imprisonment and to be dishonorably discharged. Private Christopher Falls was found guilty of ineMctency and using seditious language, and was sentenced to two years imprisonment and to be dishonorably dis- ch: Admiral Clitz approved the findings and sentences, and remitted one year of the term of imprisonment in the case of Austin, and the Sec- retary of the Navy has remitted one year of the term of imprisonment in the other cases, ——__——_e._____ The Garfield Monument Fair, ‘The preliminary arrangements for the coming exhibition and fair at the Capitol, in ald of the Garfield monument, are being rapidly pushed for- ward. Capt. Wilson,with a full force of efficient as- sistants, 1s busily engaged at their rooms at the Ebbitt House in organizing the various boards of management, distributing circulars, preparing blanks, and otherwise getting the various details of organization well in hand. Correspondence is being received from all sections of the country, in- dicating an unusual interest in the matter by mafiufacturers, artists and others, and promising the most gratifying results. Thé commissioners Tepresenting the state of Vermont are first in the field for action, and will hold a meeting this eve- ning at the Ebbitt House for organizauon. Ad- vices from Virginia indicate a most interesting exhibit, showing the growing resources of the new and progressive Dominion, as well as many articles of historic and antiquarian value. Capt F, A. Reed, of Alexandria, is the chairman of the state board of commissioners. The board of art commissioners will be determined this, evening, and from the list partially agreed upon 1t is evi- dent that the management are determined to leave nothing undone that shall in any manner contribute to the success of this feature of their undertaking, A meeting of the board of directo; 4s ordered for Tuesday evening next, when the Vi- rious sub-committees will be appointed and the campaign formally opened. ——— Making it Warm for the Housebreak- ers. A vicious looking young colored man naméd Henry Johnson, was put on trial in the Police Court this afternoon charged with housebreaking under the new law. John M. Judge, at No. 1612 Marion street, testified that his house was entered | yesterday and 25 yards of carpet carried off. Miss Judge, a daughter of the previous witness, stated that she had occasion to go into the basement of her house at an early hour yesterday morning, and discovered that a screen had been forced from a window. Mr. John M. Dutton, who lives next door to Mr. Judge, stated that he discovered the defendant coming dut of Mr. Judge's window with a bag full of cary about the time men- tioned by Miss Judge. Witness collared him, but he escaped and was arrested by Policeman’ Mor- gan. Counsel for the defense aSked for a contint ance, stating that they could prove an alibl The court sald that when a prima facia case 1s made out a committing magistrate could not try an alibl, which was a question for a jury, and he would have to send the case to the grand jury under $2,000 bonds. He was committed in default of bonds. A vigorous effort is being made by the authorities to break up housebreaking, which has been so prevalent in this city for years. The Police Court authorities are doing their part in requiring $2,000 bonds in every case that Is Sent to the grand jury. If the Criminal Court gives the dozen housebreakers (who are in jail) the extent of the law (ten years), this class of desperadocs will discover that Washington is a bad place to ply their avocation. — THE BOARD OF FIRE COMMISSIONERS met last evening. The monthly report of the chief engi- heer was read and ordered on file.
