WaAsHINGTON, April 8, 1871. The Indiana Republican Association and other Yepublican residents in Washington tendered a com- plimentary serenade to Senator Morton this evening at the National Wotel. About eight o’clock PRESIDENT GRANT made his appearance at Senator Morton’s rooms at the National Hotel, and was soon after followed by Vice President Colfax. Tie Marine band, attended by a large crowd, made its ap- pearance in front of the building shortly after eight o'clock. Senator Morton, accom- panied by the President and Vice President, ‘with several members of the Indiana delegation in Congress, proceeded to the balcony of the hotel, and were received wiih immense cheering by the crowd. Representative Williams, of Indiana, read of resolutions endorsing the course of Governor Morton and the republican party. The following are the resolutions tn full:— THE RESOLUTION, First—That we renew our pleiice of fealty ana confidence fm the integricy of the repubiican party, which, under the ‘ovidence of God, bas preserve! us as a'nation, and which in ita principles and alms has proved itself wortiy of the hearty and earnest aupport of all good men, who have at heart the perpetuity of our fro institutions and goveru- ment ‘Sorond- That we deprecate any attempt, from whatever source it may arise, to diarupt or disunite our political or- ganization, and will zealoualy repel all assaults made tyon i, whether frou internal foes or polities) adverauri néHeving that through the repabiican varty only perity and peace be secured to our beloved country.

Pajooth That we heartily commend the action of those earuett republicans in Congress who have faithfully uphed the national administration, and that our thanks are ‘es; cially due to our fellow citizen, Hon.

J PPC, Shanks, of indiana, be requested to present these resolutions, with an address appropriate to the occasion. Mr, Shanks, of Indiana, then introduced Sengjor Morton in a brief speech, referring to his services as war Governor of Indiana and as @ Republican Senator in Congress, As soon as it was Known that the President was in attendance the band played “Hail to the Uniel,” after which Senator Morton spoke as tollows:— RENATOR MORTON'S SPRECH. FELLOW Cirizens —{ shoud be quite insensible if 1 Was not touched by the kind words of my friend, General Shanks. To my Iodiana miends who have tendered me the compliment of this serenade | am tuankful. Whether it is the offering of personal {rendi nip or an approval of my political course, it is equally gratiiying. We are bound wher not only in our political sentiments, but in love and admiration tor that great and prosper- ous commonwealth from which we come: monwealth which did its duty in the late war under diMoulties that were peculiar and not altogether known to the rest of the country. We are rapi ly approaching ANOTHER GREAT CONTEST, Dut one not inferior in importance to those through which we have passed. The democratic party will Make & desperate struggie for power, but ti succeed in electing @ President oniy by carry: ig the Southern States, and it cannot carry all the Southern States except by establishit m_ the: of or ng m8 reign terro1 the effect of which it aopes will be to drive the re- publicans into silence, submission or exile. The great imatrumentality which is being employed to create thie of terror and etfect this purpose ia commonly called the Ku Klux organization. I ‘will not say that all democrats are members of that no in the Southern States. ‘They are not— ot even @ majority, I hope—but | will say that ALL KU KLUX ARE DEMOCRATS ee applanse); that it is an organization inside of the democratic party in the Southern States, and that it ts the great missionary socicty by ‘Which those States are to be converted to democracy if they are converted at all. The Instruments ty ‘Which that organization works are murder, tortare, arson, perjury, and, in fact, nearly ali the crimes on the calendar. ‘the attention of the nation has rece! jed to the existence and opera- this organization, not only by the Feport of a special committee in the Senate, but by the message of the President of the Unite | States, and the evidence has accumu‘ate? trom every source, aud it is not to be denied or douited by any canuid or intelligent mind, that in the South. ern States there exists an organization inside of the democratic party, having for its ebject to secure tne ascendancy of Liat party by the use of the means to which I have referred. Let us constder for a few Moments to-night what woud be the mevitable result of the success of the demo- cratic party should they elect @ President and get the control of the national government. In the first van only succeed by carrying ail the In that cam the Southern democ- Facy will constitute @ majorityor the pariy, and will, a8 & matier of course, dictate THR PUL!CY OF THE PARTY, And will control it in the future as they have con- trotied it in the past, Now I submit this question to Intelligent men—Should te Southern democracy come into power will they vote to tax themselves ? Wit they vote appropriations to pay pensions to Northern soldiers, and the widows and orphans of Northern soldiers, unless theirs at the same time are provided for Does any intelligent man belteve for a moment that when they are placed im power they would appropriate one ceut for pensions except upon the condition that the soidiers of the Contederate army, their widows and orphans, should be placed upon the same footingy (Oilea of “No, n0.”) That would, perhaps, be the first evect—the first result of the success of the democratic party. Again, does any intelligent man believe thal the Southern democi when placed in power, will fax hemselves, will ye to pay the in- ipal of the national debt un'ess is some provision first made for the payment of their slaves’ They invested «their money, their property, in the Confederate debt. They lost it, In addition hat they jost their slaves, and they will never tax themselves one cont, nor vote appropriations to the amount of one cent, to pay the national debt that was contracted for their subjugation, taless their debt is in some way rovided for, What, (hen, with they ask at the Banas of tie Nortiera democracy? What will tiey sepa? ‘They wii require tha: the United States 8 assume and om PAY FOR TRE L086 OF TARIR BLAVRS, and we shall bave added from fifteen hundred to two thousand miilions to the national debt. Will the Northern democracy consent to this? I an- ewer that they will. If they can hold power upon no other terms they will consent to that or to almoss any other proposition, Besides, this North- ern democracy are commitied in declaration to the payment of their in the time that Mr. Lincoln issued his first procla- Mation ip 1862 the democratic y has not failed to declare that slavery was unlawfully and nicon- stitutionally abolished. Tu legions of resolutions, in years of deciaranon, that party 1s committed to the doctrine that slavery is unconstitutionally bolished, and if it 48 brought into power it cannot avotd making payment for those slaves, wen- timents of the mass of the democratic party in the work are ail inclined towards this result, and I am inclined to think that the large body of the degnoc- racy would consent to pay the South for their slaves With more cheeriuiness than ibey would consent to Pay the national debt. This then would be the second result of the triumph of the democratic party, paying the South for their siaves and adding two thousand miliions to the national det, Now, may friends, what will be the third result? It will be THE DISENCRANCHISEMENT OF THE COLOREY PEOPLE and (aking from them the right of suffrage. When | these Southern States pass into the hands of the | democratic party, anv when the national govern- ment passes into the he ads of that party, they will be able fo disenfranchise the colored inan in sixty days, It would be aticmpted now by some ot tne Southera States, if it were not for the restraining | presence of a republican President, the fact tuat the national goverhment is 1u the hands of the re- publican party. But, if the State governments and the national go nuent shall pass into. the hands, they, having wil the arms down th ha ing the Miltary experience, would drive the colored men from the polls or compel them to vote their own diseniranciiisement, and; stripping the colored people of ail their rights and reducing them, tif not to slavery, to THE CONDITION OF SERVDOM, would be the third resuit of having the democratic party in power, No my (rlends, what are the issnes that we are called upon to try In 15727 "Is ve- construction to be maintatned? It was sald m the senate, no longer ago thaa last Monday, that the reconstruction Laws were of no more virtue thai if passed by a mob or a town meeting. Shail the coi. stitutional ameudments be abolished? It was sald in the Senate on the same day that THESE AMENDMENTS WE@ PRAUDUL The democratic party nowhere has ace In no convention, by no resolution, by no conce: trauion of sentiment tn any State this nation, have they accepted of the mendmeats, But on the contrary, with the exception here and there of a newspaper, like the New York #ortd, that 1s wiser thau the most of its friends, they are committed in implacable hostility to each and every one of these amendments, The next issue is, shall the coloured people ve maintained in the enjoyment of equal political rights? Of that I have already spoken. The democratic party, North anit South are committed unequivocally and inexorably agatnsi civil rights to the colored peuple, and that is the question more perhaps thaa all oihers that will be at issue during ine coming campaign, The next issue Will be, shail the republicans of tue South live in peace? Shaii they be protected in life, liberty and Property in the Southern Srates? Wirh the REPUBLICANS OF THE SOUTH that is ‘the great, all-absorbing question to-day. ‘They are struggling for life, struggling for the mere Rrvilbet: of living and enjoying their property. here wilt be no other great leaving issues in the next election. The democratic party say that they are opposed to NATIONAL BANKS, but they dare not say that they are In favor of re- storing the old State banks. ‘They clamor tn favor of free trade, yet tiey dare not say thit they are in favor of raising the money necessary to carry on the government by direct taxation. Direct taxes have to be apportuoned among the several States under the constitution accoraing to the populatien, not according to their wealth, and in directing the taxes the States of the Northwest, having large populations and little wealth, would pay large taxes, while the States of the ast, having greater wealth and less popniation, would pay smaller taxes, The aenocratic party dare not sub- mit to the country the question oi DIRRCL TAXATION. They clamor avout free trade and talk about re- pealing ail taxes and reileving the people of the burdens of taxation, presuniing that the people have Not intelligence enough to inquire how the money NT. shall be raised to carry on the government, In re- gara to THE TARIFF the democratic party bas no respectable position whatever, In the State of Maine taey are in favor ot the highest duty on coal, which is the most obnoxious duty on tie statute book. In Western Virginia they = occupy the same position. In Pennsylvania they are in favor of the highest duty on tron. In Kentucky Uhey are In favor of the highest duty on hemp. In Vexas and Louistana of the iguest duty on sugar. In short, the democratic party are im favor of high duties in every State where they have the power, where they ave aaything to protect, and in favor of free trade In regard to everything else, but dare not carry it out to its results. (Applause and laughter.) Now, my friends, # few words iu regard vo THE ADMINISTRATION, I feei Ln nef honored in having the presence of our Gistinguished Chief Magistrate here to-night. (Cheers.) But I shall not be deterred by his pre- sence from saying what I wonld say if he were not NEW YORK HE Last ‘we lost Indiana by @ small ity—tne vote wa short. defeat was happen again in Indiana. we had an election there to morrow I believe we could carry the Siate by about ten thousand majerity—(applause— and iu 1872 the State of Indiana will show that she has not forgotten the services of her illustrious sol- diers; that she has not forgotten the principles of the great party which alone can save this country, soa she wul algo show that she has mot forgotten hero who led coax armies on to victory.

That 1s rigit. | Names, how. ever, are not of — much Importance. Tt was sald in the Senate the other day by a distin- guished Senator that we had shown our distrust of sell-government by the bill that we had passed to establish A GOVERNMENT IN THIS DISTRICT, There was not one word of tratn In It. The people of the District of Cotumbta are now for the frst time empowered to elect @ local government of thelr own, a Lemislatare and a delegate to Congress, The democratic perty, during the long years of its rule, never conceived the idea of conterring self-government upon the people of the District of Columbia. (Applanse.) ‘That was the gilt of the republican party, and | hope you will Mot fail to remember it, What ts the argue Ment of the democratic candiiate in this District? T have been reading the papers every morning and 1 find the last lingering argument they have got is an appeal to the whoie people against the colored people, attempting to raise THE PREJUDICE AGAINST COLOR, That argument has been the meat and the drink of the democratic party in the United States for the Jast Unity years. (Applause.) But T ana told that their rauions are nearly exhausted. (Laugnter.) aah my Irlends, I thank you, and f bla you good night. Senator Morton retired amid loud cheering. SPEECH OF VICE PRESIDENT QOLMAX. Mr. Colfax was then introduced, and when the applause with which he was greeted subsided he sald:— My Frrenps—I belteve I was not on the Ist of speakers for this evening, but 1 came here, as all of you came, to listen to the speech and to join in this compitinent to our distinguished — fel- low cliizen, Who represents so ably in the Ameri can Senate the State of iny residence, and I do it more cheerfully and heartily because, with you and with his constituents aud the people of the United States, we Dave all witnessed tne fidelity with which, upon all occasions, he has vindicated Tepublican principles against all comers, How truly and how truintully he has siood up for the cause of the outraged and the oppressed, and how triumphantly he has vindicated our chosen Chief Magistrate agamst unjust criticisms and attacks— (appiause)— attacks which I can speak of myself, betore God, in all sincerity, a3 lacking 1n every ele- ment of justice, For, knowing your Chief Magistrate as 1 dv, L_ know, you know also, that every throb of his patriotic heart has been, since as before he became President, for the honor of his country and the maintenance of its Interests. (Ap- plause), Aud, however attacked, bis adininistration will not only live in American history to lis undying honor, but upon it the American people will honor hum again with their approval im 1972 as they did in 1868, THE GREAT ISSUE, my friends, that looms up before the American peo- pie to-day, and the issue uppermost in your heart, as it is in my heart, 13 the protection of every Ame- rican citizen, wherever he lives under tae American flag, against outrage. God do so to us, and more, also, a8 @ nation, if we turn our backs upon the hamblest of the poorest or the most de- fenceless of our citizens, when the hand of power seeks to outrage him tn his rights, Itis to protect those rights, to vindi- cate, guarantee and defend them that the repay lican Congress ingers in your midst when they would giadiy return to their bomes, that they may go to the very verge of const.tutioual power aud rebuke those who, in thet miduight ciaus, have armed tueir conspiracy for the RKIGN OF TERROR over our Southern States. Nobly they have rallied as one man only the day betore yesterday in the House of Representatives, Shoulder to shoulder and heart to heart every republican gave his cheer- fai aye to @ bill to protect the feebie and deienceiess people of thts couniry, (Appiause.) 1 trust and hone aud believe that the same good spirit tiat ani. mated our republican Congressmen 10 the Mouse of Representatives to this unity and concert and de- teriaination will cause the same unity to prevail at the other end of the Capitol the comiug week. We here. I think [can say to-night thatwe have not had a better administration tn half a century, if we ever had, (Cheers.) We may have had as good in te early days of the repuoiic, When its Dusiness was very small,out we navenot haa a better—I care not what department of the government you look at—you find 16 administered with ability, with Integ- rity ana with success. In tis admunisiration the ‘work of FUNDING OUR NATIONAL DEBT Into bonds beariug a lower rate of interest has been successfully began, aud we have assurance rhat it wilt be carried out to tinal triumph, In twenty-five months under this administraiion two hundred and four mitlions of the debt have been paid of. The annual interest on this amount would be over twelve millions of doliare. An annual expenditare of twelve millions has thus been saved by the liquida- tion of two hundred and four mitions of that debt. During these twenty-five montis Congress baa repealed the es amount of over $83,000,000, (Cheers.) And by re- trenchment that has been carried into every depart- ment of the government. the economy tat 13 being piacticed by this administration large sums of money are saved that would have been squan- dered. By the succeasial enforcement of the reve- nue laws larger sums of mouaey are collected from a smaller taxation than existed under the revious admimistraion. While we bave been able us to reduce the taxes over eighty-three millions of dollars the work will still go on at the next ses- sion of Covgresas. If this administration sail ooa- tinue we shall ve apie io make further large reduc- ons, We suail be able to modify the tari! man Important partioular. ly voted against I myseii have 8 THE KEPRAL OF THE INCOME TAX, because I did uot believe that tue ume had arrived when that tax could be properly repealed, but if we administration goes on With the same success in the future as it has in tae past [believe that &ve stall be able to repeal that tax atthe comiug session of UVongress, (Applause.) The republican party works steadily. We cannot do everytuing at once. We cannot repeal all the taxes at one tine, We do not preteud that we can ever repeal aliofihem. The government must be carried on and the public cre- ait must be maintained, Large sums of mon ‘@ necessarily required for that purpose, ani tuey must have 8 together for the vindication of the rights and the protection of the liberties, as well as the lives, of oar fellow citizens. but how are we met? You know right well the familiar arguments against us. “0 political opponents have charged that we are all “CARPET;BAGGERS” AND “SCALLAWAG®.”? It ts by the deaunciation of “carpet-baggers” and “‘scaliawage” that they pailate these crimes in that disgrace to the Ainerican nation before world, which your President intends to put down whenever the law-making power of this country puts the necessary power into his hands. Who isa carpei-bagger? A carpet-bagger is an American citizen, born on our soil or natural- ized in our courts, under our constitution and flag, that has as good a right to live in Soatn Carolina as im Vermont, or in North Carolina as in Indiana, whatever may be his politics, condition or position. He t# entitied to cast his ballot un- molested by those who now seek to make him afvaid. It was for that the brave soldiers of our repuoilc carried the starry banner through the South, to teach the people all over this land that the laws had to be respected, that every one of the forty millions of American people have a rightto go down there, without molestation or urging, ana proclaim their sentiments. God bless the men whom our opponents stigmatize as scaliawags. They were faithful, ney opposed treason, and if we, the American people, do not protect them not only against these slander- ers, but in the exercise of every right guaranteed by the constitution, we are not worthy to be called a nation, (Applause.) Upon OUR BANNER, written in letters of living light, are these words, once borne by the banner o: democracy, ‘Equal and Exact Justice to all Men.” Applanse.) In this sign we Ul go on tu conquer. Faitalal to this princi- ple we shail go before the peopie at the approaching contest and achieve anotner victory for right, jus- tice, honor and protection, which shall rival in ite brililancy the glorious victories we bave won in the vast. (Cheers.) Speeches were also delivered by Major Willams and Mr. Packard, of Indiana. COLONEL J, W. FORNEY then arrived. As soon ag it was known that he was be collected irom the people. Our democratic friends sometimes talk a3 if they could répea! all the taxes and carry on the government by the use of & sound policy. (Laughter.) You cannot «do that, The Presideat of tne United States nas proved faith- ful to every principle of the party, (Cheera.) Lthiak he ig a greater radical to-day than some who started & good while before him, (Laughter and applause.) He is not 4 JOHNSON, A FILLMORE OR A TYLER. He is perforiming his whoie duty to the country as he understands (nat duty, and he ts carrying out in good faith tue moral pledges upon which he was elected. (Applause,) And as long as a President does thas, my friends, his administration cauuot be broken dowd. ("Never ! and applause.)

Those Who have tried (0 impeach him of higa crimes and Mixiemeauors have impeached themselves of au- preme folly. (Applause.) Some two or three weeks ago we were beaten in New Hampshire, After the result of that election the democracy took greac courage. Tuey said it Was an cvidence of reaction, an evidence (hat the republican party was dytoy and that the democracy were coming into powe But tt was evidence of po such thing. ‘The truta is, the result of the New Hampsnire election was owing to local causes, to Local dissensions and qnar- rels, andjto apathy brought about py long si that imaifference which is 80 often attendant upon continued triumph.

A-CLEVER SWIRDLER, An Indiana Flat Gets Into the Hands of Now York Sharpers aad Loves Mis Farm. At the Yorkville Police Court yesterday a young man of genteel appearance, named Thomas Leany, was arraigned for swindliug Alexander Livingston, Of No, 601 West Forty-eighth street, out of a farm worth $2,009, In Brown county, Indiana, by means of a sharp game known only to bogus real estate agenfs, Avout December last Livingston, who 14 a stonecutier by trade, came to this city, where he determined to take up his fature residence, His exchange for city lots.

It was, however, just three o’clock before all were in readiness, Each oficer being furnished with the regular warrant, they were all told off in twos and threes tn private clothes and started upon the business of the hour, THE DOOMED HOUSES were:—In Greenwich street, Nos. 61, basement; 64, basement; 64, first Noor; 63, first Moor and basement; 67, basem-nt; 67}4, basemeut; 68, basement; 79, first floor and basement; 84, whole house; 86, basement; 124, basement; 128, basement; 132, basement; 153, basement; 136, basement; 13634, basement and tirst floor; 138, first floor; 145, basement; 147, basement; 159, basement; 152, basement; 166, basement; No. 1 Albany street, basement; No. 134, basement; No, 3, first Noor; 182 Liberty streer, basement, and 136, basement, A sort of reconnoitre was first made by some ofl- cers in plain clothes, and at three o’clock precisely an ofMicer entered each place, secured the doors in the rear and every other place of egress whereby THE DAMSELS AND THEIR DEVOTERS might effecta hasty retreat. ‘Tne first parties secured were taken from the houses Nos. 132 and 136 Liberty street, by Captata Speight aad Inspectors Walling and Jamieson and two assistants. To enter thee dens one had not only to bend, but to doff the hat and almost preak the neck before the door was reached, and when the door was opened whata sight met the eye | what a scene of aeception and a clearing up of THE OPTICAL ILLUSION as presented from the ourside!

[t was a pity that some vol- unteer German musicians could not have been en- gaged; the EXCITEMENT HAD FALLEN BELOW 7FRO. The immense crowd had ceased to jeer, people by hundreds stood and gaped at the corner of Vesey street in utter amazement as the crowd passed over into Murray street; Captain Speight looked over tho top of his glasses for the want of something more important to do; Walling had smoked nis cigat down 80 close, and became 80 reflective and pliilo- sophic—propably on the state of public im- merality—that it burned bis finge and he dashed it to the ground in hiscom. fort, while the stately Jamicson laughed at his consreres as a ter of employment, roing out of Murray into Warren street the procession be- came animated azatn; cartdrivers hooted and whistled, anu the sight of the magntfcent City Hall. and the trees and horticultural products, must nave infused new lite, for in crossing over Broadway and the City Hail Park the young creatures with LOW-NECKED DRESSES AND ALABASTER FACES shoulders and hands, were cheered, and they nod- ded and winked and capered like rabbits on @ war- ren.

Despite the exiaustion and laborious nature of a trial which occupied seven days; despite the ineon- the troveruvle proof of the prisoner's respoast- bility to the law for his crime; despite the eloqnent and overwhelming argument of counsel for the prosecution and the lucid charge of the Court, a Westchester county jury for the second time has, through some at present, occult means, failed to agree upon a verdict tp the cass of the people against Isaac V. W. Buckhout for tiie murder of Alfred Rendall. Attev having been locked up for over thirty-seven hours the jury, on being brought into court at nine ofclock yesterday niorning, announced, through their foreman, Richard 5. Gray, that they nad not agreed upon @ Verdict, nor Was there the slightest prospect of their doing so; that they had lavored incessantly from the time the case was submitted to them, but they still regarded their unanimous agree: ment upon a verdict us unpossible, by reason 0! A OBRTAIN ELEMENT of opposition :ianifested, and that the sald element was of such a nature as to preclude the pogsibiiity of thelr bringing in a auited verdict; that they had tried hard to accomplish that object, but their efforts had beem vain. Having inquired whether any of the other jurors desired to offer any further remarks on the subject, the Court said that the trial inust bs bronght to @ satisfactory close; the se had now heen twice tried; that it nad aire: cost the county about $10,000 to try the case; that the question to be decided by the jay was a simple one, and might be easily arrived at if the jury approached tt in the right way, The foreman again arose and addressed the Court, stating that it was IMPOSSIBLE TO CONTROL the element to which he had previously alluded, which, if he were permitted, he could easily ex- plain to the Court, and clearly demonstrate thaw there Was NO possibility of agreeing upon a verdict. Judge Barnard repiled that he had been placed In is present position to see the administration of the law carried ont, anJ that da/y he inust perform; apd when we CANNOT RELY UPON A JURY, it looked bad for Westchester county. What, he asked, was to be the end of it? He gouid ses no way to secure the proper administration of justice if trials of this kind are to end in such results. Tt seems to me, he continued, that there can be no dlt- ficulty in arriving at a proper conclusion in the mat- ter, Ido not indicate to yeu what that result ought to be. The Court wants a sworn verdict, You have ail sworn that you had formed no opimion of your own; that yeu ha’ no conscientious scruples agalost Tendering & righteous verdic tat you would not allow any considerations to influence you in your action. I migit have shat you up without allowtag you uny reireshments, subjected you to discomforts and = privations, but such has not beer my course, You are drawn from tha most respectable and intelligent citizens of the county, I shall, therefore, request a verdict at your hand: I shall be coinpelled to go home to-'ay, amt 4f you shall fail to render a verdict by the hour of my departure, the Oourt wul be adjouraed until Monday morning, and untli witch time you MUST NECESSARILY BE LOCKED UP. Here the foreman mare an earnest appeal to the Court against such @ decision, remarking that two of the jurors (himself one of them) were too ill to undergo such an ordeal as that intimated by the Court, and should it be enforced the immediate attendance of a physician would be necessary. Daniel H. Miller, another Juror, addressed the Court as foilows:—It may be right and proper for me to mention one fact. The deadlock whieh ti Pie bas arrived at is not dependent either on the jaws which governs the case or on the evideave ad- duced. We could soon make the Court understand THE WHOLE DIFFICULTY experienced if permitted to do so, which involves neither the taw hor the evidence tn the case. To this Judge Barnard remarked that if such was the case it waa a sorry day for the town; but that be would rather not credit the statement. Another juror (George K. Carroll) remarked that the observations of Mr. Miller did not embrace an exact statement of the case; that It was in the evi- dence; but he was coufident that the diMteui could not be overcome if they (the jurors) remain together for a month. . ludge Barnard then directed the jury to retire Again, giving them to aaderstand that a verdict was expected at their hands. From some information, however, which, it 18 believed, the Court obtained regarding the utter hopelessness and unpossiniilty of obtaining @ verdict, the jury were brought into court about noon and discharged.
