A GLITTERING PAGEANT AT WINDSOR, aS GS a The Black Watch, the Fusilecrs and the Goat ‘Marching Past.” BE ES CALCALI’S UMBRELLA.) LONDON, March 30, 1874, Quite a gentee) and orderly crowd leit Padding- ton station to go down to Windsor this morning, forthe purpose of witnessing the review. On Saturday the boat race mob had it all their own ‘Way—there were free fignts at Waterloo and most of the other metropolitan and Southwestern sta- tions; pickpockets were ‘on the rampage,” and the crush was tremendous, Next Monday, being Easter Monday, all Londoners who can muster a | Jew shillings will make a dash for a temporary visit to the seaside, and mob law will be pre- dominant. But partly on account of these | past and future attractions, and partly oe- | cause the railway fares were rather high and no third class passengers were taken, the gathering at Paddington this morning was decidediy select, Military men, both old and young, were there in large numbers; but the Members of the Household Brigade, or troops spe- cially employed in escort duty on the Queen, were somewhat sad and out of spirits, owing to the death of young Lord Rossmore, a heutenant of the Second Lite Guards, who was thrown from his horse at the last Windsor stecplechases, and, after Immgering for a iew days in great agony, diea on Saturday. The morning partook of the qualities of the present and of the coming month, a genial sun being occasionaily hidden behind a passil rain cloud, while a southwesterly bree: came sweeping over the flat, open coun- try, proving that March, in his last days, yet possessed the lion-like qualities which distinguished his adyent. One would thik that the good people of Windsor, to whom royal- ties and celebrities are of daily occurrence, would have enough of sight-seeing; bat there they were, cramming the station, watching ior the arrival of distinguished visitors, while the hackmen in the yard outside attempted unheard of extortion in | their charges for conveying you over the mile and a half which separates the station from the review ground, AT WINDSOR, Most Americans who visit England make a pil- grimage to Windsor, and will bear me out in saying that the Long Walk, the mame for the straight drive of three miles irom the Castle gates to the cquestrian statue which cuts the horizov, bordered on eitner side | with the greenest turf, and with evenues | of wide spreading oaks and elms, is very lovely. | Even now, though the trees have only scarcely be- gun to bud, there is something grand and majestic in its sweep, and, with the road jined on eitherside | by well dressed people awaiting the Queen's com- ing, the Park had quite a lively appearance. The review was to be held on a wide open space of turi lying between the Long Walk and a portion of the Park Known as Queen Anne’s Ride, and al- ready the carbineers (the regiment to which Sir Roger Tichborne originally belonged and which since the Orton escapade is fright- fully chatfed by the people) ana the! huge men of the Second Life Guards on | their black chargers were on duty keeping | the ground irce trom the intrusion of the populace. The saluting point and centre of observation was an old oak tree, opposite to which had been erected @ flagstaf, bearing the royal standard of England, now turied and drooping. No stands or | tribunes nad been erecied, but on either side of the saluting point two large spaces, in themselves subdivided, had been enclosed with hurdles, That on the right was for the members of the houses of Lor’s and Commons; tvat on the leit for the press, the royal household, the students of Eton College and the Indian College. DISTINGUISHED VISITORS. | Ir the little three-cornered pen allotted to the press I find some colleagues who had been away as special correspondents with the Ashantee expedi- tion, and who are not looking any the better from their enforced acquaintance with the Goid Coast chmate. Mr. H. M. Stanley is not there. He is not very well and he is very busy with his book; but find Mr, George Hentz, of the Standard, and Mr. Frederick Boyle, of the Daily Telegraph. Ciose behind us is drawn up a@ row of carriages, on one | of which sits the Duke of Westminster, probably the richest peer in England, with his Duchess— | she was Lady Constance Grosvenor, daughter | of the lovely ‘Duchess of Sutherland, and ts herself a remarkably handsome wbman— | and some of the younger members of their family. ‘There, too, on horseback, winding his way in and outamong the crowd, is Lord Otho Fitzgerald, | who was the Comptroiler of the Queen's House- | hold in Mr. Gladstone’s Ministry, and also, splen- | didly mounted, is the new Master of the Buck- hounds, Lord Hardwicke. This immense man, with the handsome face and the gray beard, who, though on ic st, reaches to the tops of most of the carriages, is Mr. Ward Hunt, the first Lord of the Admiralty; and ciose after him follows a very homely man with red whiskers, Lord Cardwell, ‘Who, as late Secretary of War, was responsible for the Ashantee expedition. PREPARATIONS, Meanwhile there is plenty to observe in the preparations being carried on in the open space in | front of us and in the actors concerned in them, Cnief of these is, Of course, Sir Garnet Wolseley, a Jean, wiry looking man, mounted,on a woite Arab. He has a shaved face and a grizzled mustache, and is altogether more war worn and older look- ing than one would have imagined from his pub- | lished portraits. By his side ride men with whose names the events of the last few days have made us familiar. He in the Hussar uniiorm 1s Baker, of the Eighteenth, and next to him 1s Baker Russell, Glover is not here, and there are loud lamentations and some indignation at hisabsence. That man on foot is a warrior and @ mighty man of valor, the chief of the staff, Sir Archibald Alisoh, son of the | well known historian, He is on foot trom neces- sity; he lost one arm in the Crimea, and his re- maining hand is just now so aiflicted by a pain- Jul whitlow as to incapacitate him from holding the bridle, The slender young man with whom he is talking is Lieutenant Wood, son of Lord Halifax, &@ lucky youngster, who was sent home to England in charge of KING KOFFEE'S UMBRELLA, and the despatches announcing the tall of Coomas- | sie, a little service for which he receives £500. On foot aiso is a namesake of his, but no re- lation, Colonel Evelyn Wood, a noted sol- aier, bearing on his breast the Victoria cross, which he won in the Crimea. The enormous man, splendidly mounted, is Prince FKaward of Saxe Weimar, Colonel of the Scots Fusilecrs and a great favorite in the army, and the foreigner in the crimson tunic, a hanging jacket and with the white sheepskin housing, is Prince Barriatinski, now visiting the Court, The ARRIVAL OF THE QUEEN ‘was announced for one o'clock, and she is nsually exceedingly punctual; but it was exactly five mine utes to two before the blaring of a bugle, the order to the troops to draw swords and the unfurling of the royal standard gave evidence that she was approaching. Meanwhile the troops had been gradually taxing up their position, The Twenty- third were first on the ground and formed into line with the colors im the centre, and in front of the colors the Cashmere goat which had been presented to them by the Queen, The offl- Cers.of this regiment are conspicuous by what is called “the fash,” a small bow of ribbon fastened at the back of the. collar and taking the place of the venerable pigtail, a relic of antiquity which the Fusileers were the last to diggard, Next to | pold and « lady-in-waiting, RUPLE SHEET. ‘nem stood the Forty-second Highlanders, in full Scotch costume, plumed bonnet, tartan kilt, bare knees and white gaiters, and with them acontin- gent of the Seventy-ninth, also Highlanders, who had shared the battle with thelr countrymen, but who were clothed as regards their nether limbs in tartan trews, or trousers, and who wore the ordinary Scotch forage cap. Then came the Rifle Brigade and the Army Works Corps, altogether a little army of under 2,000 men, THE LIFE GUARDS. ‘The advanced guard of the royal cortége was an escort of Life Guards, with their cuirasses gleam- ing, thelr swords drawn and their steel scabbards jang)ing by their s. Then came a glittering staff, in the centre of which rode the burly Duke of Cambridge, the Commander-in-Chiei of the British Army; the Prince of Wales and Prince Ar- thur in dark rifie uniform, and the Duke of Edm- burghin the biue and silver of the London art lery. of whic: he is honorary colone). The playing of the national anthem by the bands and the loud cheering of the muititude wel- comed the Queen, with the Princess of Waies by ner side, the Duchess of Kdinburgh in a rove trimmed with fur, and the Princess Chris- tian on the opposite seat, and the Inevitable John Brown, in his Highland garb, in the ruinble be- hind, A second carriage followed, containing tne Princess Louise, the Princess Beatrice, Prince Leo- Sir Garnet Wolseley and the Duke of Cambridge then ranged up on one Side of the Queen's carriage, her sons on the other, and in this order she drove down the whole une, | inspecting the troops, THE QUBEN’S ADDRESS. The little army was teu formed into three sides of a square, with the Highlanders tor its base and the Fusileers and the k&ife Brigade for its wings, the staff and the special service oMicers, including three chaplains ia black and Wearing limp black wideawake hats, in the centre. Into the midst of this square the Queen drove, and beckoued Sir Garnet Wolseley, who dis- mounted and piaced himselr by the side of the car- Tiage. ‘Then the Queen addressed him, bending forward earnestly. What sae sald we know not, but it Was understood sue congratulated him and his gallant little band, and it was known thatshe delivered the Victoria Cross to Lord Gilford, who Was seen shortly aiterwards wearing it on his breast and receiving the congratulations of his brother officers. Then the royal carriage returned to the saluting point, and, the bands having taken up thelr station opposite, TRE MARCH PAST immediately commenced. First came the Twenty- third, in column of companies, the band playing the old martial strains of the “Pritish Grena- diers.” When they had marched by the band- master of the Forty-second whirled aloft his weil-known air of “Highland Laddie,” the High- landers advanced, marching like one man, amidst | aroar of cheering. Their appearance was spien- did and quite worthy of the welcome they re- ceived, It had been said that the climate and the reaction had told upon them, but I coniess Isaw nothing of it, After tiem came the Rifle Brigade, marching to the tune of “I’m Ninety- | five, wich the Army Works corps byinging up the | rear, AN OMISSION, The absence vf the navy and the marines from this demonstration is universally condemned as a serious slight to a splendid and most deserving body of men, THE END, As the conclusion of the march past the troops again formed imto lines and, at Sir Garnet Wolseley’s command gave three great, ringing cheers tor the Queen, and then filed off to partaxe of @ substantial dinner which had been provided for them at Her Majesty’s command, UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT. a. Decisions. WASHINGTON, April 13, 1874, The Chief Justice delivered his first opinton on the bench ot the Supreme Court to-day, in a case from Ilinois, toucuing the right of the State to tax non-resident national bank shareholders at the residence of the bank. The members of the bar who heard it, aud his brethren on the Bench, speak of it in eulcgistic terms. Hon. Reverdy Johnson is complimentary in his remarks, both as to the merits pf the opinion and the manner of delivery. The Chief Justice detivered his first formal opinion considerably earlier than the late | Chief Justice did. The Supreme Court to-day decided the case of Tappan, Collector of Taxas of Chicago, vs. The Merchants’ National Bank of Chicago, from tion whether the Legislature of Mlinois coula, m 1867, provide for the taxation of the owners of shares of the capital stock of a national bank in | that State, at the place within the State where the bank was located, without regard to their places of residence. The Court cided that the tax, could not be thus | laid, and the decrée was against the Collector, That decree is here reversed, the Court holding that shares of stock in national banks are personal property under the National , Banking act. ‘They are a species of personal prop- erty, say the Court, which is in one sense intangi- ble and incorporal, but the law which creates them may separate them irom the person of tae owner for the blr of taxation and give them a situs of their own. This has been done; it 1s held by the fleet act. The time the decree below was made the Supreme Court of Illinois has held, the State law of 1867, under which the tax was laid, was valid, and that decision is held to be. hinding on this Court. Its correct+ ness is also conceded. Chief Justice Waite deliv- ered the opinion. In the cases of the Atlantic, Tennessee and Ohio Railroad Company and others vs. the Caroiina | National Bank of Columbia and others, trom the Circuit Court ior North Carolina, also decided to- day. The question was whetner bonds tssued by the company in May, 1862, payable at different periods irom November, 1869, to Novem- ber, 1875, were svivabie in Confederate cur- rency or lawful money. Some of the bon falling into the hands of the Bank the company were willing to pay in Confederate | money, but the bank demanded the money of the United States, and this action was instituted to compel payment uuder a deed of trust executed to Secure them. The Court below sustained the de- mand of the bank and the question was brought here. The decree 1s affirmed, the Court holding that the intention of the company that the prin- cipal of its bonds should be paid in lawiul money instead of Confederate notes may be justly in- ferred from the nature of the contracts, particalarly the long period betore they were to mature. When they were issued, it is said, it could not nave been in the contemplation oi the parties that the war would continue from seven to thirteen years. It | 1s weil known that at that time it was the general | expectation on ali sides that the war would be one | O1 short duration, The Confederate notes were only payable by their terms after a ratifi- cation of peace between the Conleaer- ate States and the United States. ‘The bonds of the railroad were intenaed tor sale in the market of the world generally, and not merely ia the confederate States, They were pay- able to bearer, and, tuerelore, transierable by de- livery, They state on their face that they may be converted into the stock of the company at par by the holder. The declaration of the officers of the company up to July, 1863, show that the company treated the bonds as having an excep- tional value and not subject to the fluctuation 01 coniederate currency. Repeated declarations of the ofiicers were made to that import. There is sufficient in these circum- stances, It is held, to repel the presumption created by the ordinance of the State of 1865, pro- viding for the discharge of all existing contracts by @ scale of the depreciation of Contederate money, and declaring that ail contracts, except official and penal bonds payable to the State, should be deemed to nave been made with the in- tention that they should be discharged in that cur- rency, and thus the case will be governed by tie ordinary rule, Mr. Justice Ficld delivered the opinion. WAS MR. BISHOP POISONED? The autopsy of the remains of N. ©. Bishop, which were disinterred on Saturday last, was made yes- terday aiternoon by Professor B. G. Janeway and Drs. W. F, shine and E. T. T. Marsh, in presepce of Ooroner Henry Woltman and Professor Ry Ogden Doremus.

A Good ftart—Pressmen, Princes, Peers and the Peopie—Style of Rowing and the Time— Oxford Defeated Aiter a Galiant Straggle, Lonnon, Jan, 28, 1874, ANTICIPATORY, Betting men would probably teil you that “spec- ulation” on the boat race, which I have just re- turned from witnessing, has been higher than for the last tew years. Irom Ash Wednesday, the day on which the regular hard training com- mences, there have been, irom unioreseen and Unavoidabie circumstances, so many shiitings and changes in the Oxford crew that unti! they put in an appearauce at Putney and got regularly to work on ‘the London water their chances of suc- cess were looked upon as very slight indeed, Layers of odds went in to pepper the unhappy Oxonians, and it was “Lombard street to a China orange” against them, it certainly was not the Jauit, but rather the misfortune of the Oxford stroke that his father died and that he was con- sequently obliged to absent himself for some da/s from training and practice. [t was not the fault of Mr, Darbishire, the excellent “coach,” that after he had settled upon bis crew he found bet ter and bigger men, who had hitherto hung back, ex- press their willingness to join, Putney practice showed shorvcomings, which had not been ob- served on the Isis, and all things seemed to com- bine against the chances of tne dark blue. Never- theless, within the last few days they have worked so well and so hard, bot on land and water, that a strong reaction took place, and many a true sportsman, unconnected with either univer- sity, thought as well ag hoped that Mr. Darbishire’s pupils Would reverse the fate which for the last jour years has been in store for them, more espe- cially when it was Known that the Cantabs were undecided as to which of the boats specially but sor them they wouid choose to row in, Last night there was, as u the greatest excitement at tie Oxford and Cambridge, the United University and the New University Clubs. Middie-aged men, for- merly crack oarsmen of their difierent colleges, now stout, rotund and = ple- , thoric, with an amount of paterfamilias girth which they never anticipated acquiring, | had arrived trom the country parishes of which gigantic baton, and, as the pipers crooned out the | they were squires or rectors, and astonished the cub hall porter by therr unwonted presence, The theatres, wich during Lenten season have been more than half empty, were crammed with boister- ous young lellows who, during tie entr’acie, made the lobbies resound with the latest news of the condition of Jones of Magdalen, or Thomas of Trinity; while at che various sporting taverns ihe talk was more businesslike, aud the latest intelli- gence brought by the scouts who haunt the tow- ing path and the purlieus of the riverside publics settled the betting ata couple of points in favor of Cambridge. Late at night the last bulletins giving the NAMES AND WEIGHTS of the two crews were issued, and ran as fol- lows:— CAMDBRID St. Ld. 1—P, J. Hibbert, St. Joln’s. i 1% 2—G, F.

THE MORNING, The weather for the last few days has been miid, genial and springlike, but late last night a heavy | shower and the continued overclouding of the new the Circuit Court of Ilinois, presenting the ques- | moon awakened dismal prognostications. The morning, however, was splendid, with a bright sun aud a soit southwesterly wind. London was early astir, and beiore eight o’clock the state of the streets showed that the boat race, as an outing for the cockney holiday makers, is fast treading upon the heels of the Derby Day. The spirit of partisanship, owing to the narrowness of the issue, is indeed far more strongly aroused than on the occasivn of the great turf meeting. Every cabman or omnibus driver has his whip adorned with either a light or a dark | blue badge; the tradespeopie’s boys, to the ma- jority of whom Oxiord and Cambridge are un. | known localities, and who have never seen a beat, much less @ race, wear cheap rosettes in their but- tonholes, while in the various velicles, from the lordly four-in-hand drag to the donkey-drawn “fly- ing bedstead” or flat tray in which the coster- monger, his wife and iriends are seated, all the | ladies and gentlemen have some article of wearing apparel of a@ hue betokening the bent of their hopes. GOING UP THE RIVER. Tre task of keeping the course clear and of | regulating the river trac is confided to tie | Thames Conservancy, who only allow four steamers to follow the contending boats, one of which conveys the umpire and a select party of gentlemen, another is for the representatives of the press, while the other two are allotted to lead- ing members of the Universities, My station was on board the press boat, anu, obedient to order, I rendered myself punctually a few min utes before nine at the Temple pier, where I found the boat lying with a large blue flag, bearing the word “Press,” flying trom her bows, and with acon- siderable number of my journalistic col- leagues on board. Those who had hitherto arrived were principally reporters of the sporting journals, men armed with large chronometers, to check the | time, and huge notebooks, to record their obser- vations; wiry, keen looking men, with all that preternatural sharpness which a connection with racing, either on the turf or on the water, seems to give to its followers. But there were others, besides these; there was Mr. Smalley, the well known correspondent of your contemporary, the Tribune, looking so calinly astute that nothing “too thin’ could ever get the better of him; there was Mr, Robinson, the manager of the Daily News, whose tact and toresight raised his journal to the position it uow holds, glowing in his auburn | beard and beaming through his spectacics; thete is Mr. Cooper, the acting editor of the Scotsman, a journal whicu in acumen and intelli- gence is inierior to none in Britain, Later on, at Putney, we pick up Mr. Edward Levy and Mr. Dicey, the respective editors of the Daily Telegraph and Observer. There are no party emblems worn on board the boat, though many of the men there are old University men and warm partisans of their Alma Mater, but as representatives of the press their business is to be impartial and judicious minded. houses of Parliament, with the gilded tower glow- ing in the morning sun, threading our way thrdigh the innumerable steamers and rowboats, all making for one goal. A little past Pimlico pier we come up with the umpires’ steamer, bearing the royal standard floating from her mast and having on board TUE PRINCE OF WALES, There is His Royal Highness, in a light brown overcoat, with a patr of race glasses sinng round him, He 1s talking to jolly, red-faced Lord Alired Paget, who, at home everywhere, is more than ever at his ease in matters nautical, The tall, high-shouldered man standing close by, with his fuzzy Assyrian-like hair sticking out from under the brim of his stovepipe hat, 1s Earl Dudley, one -of the richest Men in Epgland, and hugband of one ¢ ) Way.’?

The fringe of the river is crammed | with barges holding many occupants, rowboats dart here and there, steam Jaunches puff and snort | angrily as they find their movements controlled by the Thames police, who are afloat in their galleys, while on shore platforms, windows and balconies | are covered with spectators thick as bees. The | | heuses are ali decked with flags, while from the roof of the Star and Garter foats proudly the broad American banner, a reininiscence, I guess, of the | Harvard struggle in 1809, The Cambridge crew were domestica‘ed in this house last year, but made so much rackec and gave so much trouble that the landiora declined to | have them again, 80 vhis year they have taken up | their quarters in that private louse on the Terrace from the drawing room widow of which their | light blue flag is waving. | PREPARATION, | | Exactly at eleven o'clock the Oxford crew | | cleared away jrom the Leander boat house and | , dvopped down to the starting barge, imme- diately in rear of witich were moored the | | four permitted sieamers, the representatives | | of Oxiord being closest to the Middlesex | shore, and the Cambridge, utpire and press | steamers lying abreast of her in the order named.

Time and | pace are reckoned to be good as they come swing: | ing dowa, gently drop round and take up their | | position On tue Surrey side of the starter’s barge. | Scarcely has the rmging cheer with which they are | greeted by their partisans died away when their rivals are also seen to be afloat.

For the first quarter of a ine they rowed singuarly even; then Cambridge began to draw alittle ahead, in- creasing almost unobservedly, bit by bit, until pass- _ ing the Whitestone lodge, on the Midalesex side, ‘ which marks the first mile, they had gained, boat’s length, and one of the knowing ones, stand- | ing near me, dropped his glass and said, “The | race is over.’ Not so, however, Just at Ham- | mersmith Uridge the Oxonians put on a | Spurt, which, finding successiul, taey continued, | and.now the real interest of the race began. The Cantabs got to work too, vut could not shake off | their opponents, who held to them with grim te- | nacity.

Astounding Disclosures Regarding the Plot to Liberate Convicts. ——__ -+__— WAX IMPRESSION. | What the Examination of Tilly Miller and Her Coniederates Has Evolved. A KEEPER TURNS STATE'S EVIDENOE ‘The Ught of truth is at length dawning on the | hitherto unpenetravle mystery surrounding the ith Wiech convicts have jor some time Past escaped Jroi Sing Sing Prison, and the sus- picions iong entertained regarding the venality of subordinate offivers of that mstituuion Luve now ) been abundantly verified, Since the recent discoveries by New York detec- | | tives, pointing to a plot lor the liberation of certain jailbirds from the prison named, Warden Hubbell and his conftdentiai assistants have been busily, though quietly, “working firm beltef that some of the co-conspirators were among the employés who had sworn to assist in mainiaining order and discipline among the inmates, Them efforts were crowned With suc- cess a day or two ago, when a@ woman, named Ayies, living in the village ef Sing Sing, was dis- covered, Who had accidentally witnessed 4 trans. action last August whien, alrhough appearing triviaiat the thme, has now assumed a@ most im- portant aspect, furnishing, as it does, a key to much in the way oj escapes that has heretoiore This person, while in a store at the village named, saw an acquaintance named John Outhouse, a young man of about twenty-four, and at that time employed as a keeper in Sing Sing Prison, purchase some BEESWAX AND OL, On her playfully asking lin wilat he intended doing with the articles he smilingly told her not to be too inquisitive. Having been sent for by Warden Hubvoell, Who asked him for an explana- tion of the suspicious circumstance, Outhouse con- fessed that he hud aided in the escape of William Miller and James Brady during the month oi Ucto- ber la: sed lis willingness to go be- fore the authorities and make a “clean breast” of the whole affair. Outhouse also implicated William Many, who was then and up to yesterday & guard at the prison, As will be seen below the testimony of the informer, Outiouse, embraces some astounding disclosures, not the least significant among which is his ayblushing acknowledgement of having been paid $1,000 in fullilment of a bargain made by him to assist Mik ler and Brady in getting away. THE ALE CONSPIRATOR, Around the woman Tilly Miller, alias Myers, whose indelatigible efforts for the release of her husband and his friends have already been related in these columns, the shadows of the same gloomy abode, where he still reluctantly rests since his recapture, are already gathering. In the Grand Jury room of the Court House at White Plains, Westchester county, yesterday, she had an examination before Justice Ferris on a charge of aiding and abetting convicts to escape. Mrs. Miller, having been brought from the county | jail by Deputy Sherif Ford, tripped lightly in the crowded apartment indicated, and smiling 2 co- quetlish recognition on @ few iriends present, graceiully subsided in @ chair adjoin- ing her counsel, J. U0. Dykman, ‘rhe risoner was iashionably attired, and no one, to Bok upon her elaborate appearance and volattie deportment, would for a moment suspect that the boudoir trom whicit she had igh emerged was the rude cellof @ common jail, She 18 apparently about twenty-cight years old and vy no means de- void of persona: attracuons. During the procecd- ngs 4 CLOUD OF INDIGNATION gathered on lier brow, when Henry Smith, who was arrested in Houston street avout tie same e as the locksmith Steurer, testified to tus participation in her scheme. Smuto, it will be remembered, was the party who first went with Mrs. Miller to Steurer’s shop and made the en- gagement regarding the manuiacture of burglars’ tools jor her. Among those = present were Warden Hubbell aud several subordi- nate officers of Sing Sing Prison, inciudin: the guards’ outhouse, and many who were brought ove¢ on Warrants issued jor taeir arrest, 2nd who, after the eXamimation, were committed to the County Jail. ‘ihe following embraces the sub- stance o1 the testimony thus far elicited :— ‘TESTIMONY OF HENRY SMITH.
