Special Dispatch to Tun Bes, Havrirax, August 16,—The recent purchase of the schooner Conguest, 20 ears old, by Gen. Batler, of Boston, as created much comment, and many surmises are made relative to tha ob- ject of the owner. The vessel sailed yesterday. The Chrouicle says, as her clearance states, she is bouna for Port Crockett, said to be in Madagas- car, a long voyage for so small a ves- sel, and the secrecy with which the whole enterprise has been gotten up makes it seem not improbable that that port is not her destination. As far as we have been able to learn it appears enquiries for a British bot- tom of suitable dimensions had been made for some time past by Capt. F. Farr, of Gloucester, a gentleman well} known for the prominent part he took in the late war of our southern neigh- bors. Failing to find a table ves- sel flying the British flag in American waters, Capt. Farr despatched an agent to Canada, where at last in Halifax the required article wes found in the schooner Conquest, a gloomy, black, piratical looking craft. An ex- lz:--m-dix;ury high price was paid for er. The bulwarks of the vessel are well fitted to hide small guns, with which our observations lead us to believe she will be mounted. Cngm\n Tarr was here the past two weeks, aud superin- tended the alterations that have been made in the vessel to suit her for the peculiar trin, what- ever it may prove to be. Large quantities of stores, sufficient for 30 or forty men for nine months, om- barked on the Conquest, notwith- standing that only two boys, besides the captain and mate, sailed in her from this port. The departure of twenty seafaring men to the east by land conveyance withinf a few days leads to the impreseion that the Mad- agascar bound vessel is not goiug to sea light-handed, Added to what we have said, the fact that arms and am- munition arrived by the last Boston stesmer consigued to the projectors of this enterprise, a not unnalural feel- ing is felt that Capt. Tarr, either for himself, or more probably for Gen. Butler, is engaged in an undsrtaking that will bearing watching, and the outecome of which may be looked for- ward to with some interest, The Cattle Fever. Bpecial Dispateh to Tus Bx On10aGo, August 16.—J, H. Ban- ders, member of the United States cattle commission, says for the month ending July 16th, Chicago received nearly 80,000 head of Texan cattle, a | ju; greater number than ever before in the same length of time, They were mostly slaughtered and those not killed were kept apart from the do- mestic cattle and are not likely to in- fect them with the Texas cattle fever this year, although eastern breeders who have not learned how to deal with the disease are troubled with it. San- ders thinks the cattle fever in the east is from cattle shipped north from southern states east of Texas while ;:u cattle are afflicted with Texas ver. THE OmABRA DAILY BEE.

Heo went on to dwell upon the impor- tauce of the star route servioe, char- acterizing it a8 forerunnerof the railway system of &hfo country, contena- ing 1t was necossaty for the public good, and deolaring the allegations to the contrary in the indiotnent were false- hoods from toend. Kerrhad said “‘The sl us tongue had gone oat with words spoken that are to throw doubt on your (the jury's) in- togrity.” If that meant anything it meant that in some way or other the defendants had eorrupted a portion of the jury. Senator Dorsey had faced death in a thousénd forms upon the battle field, t he had not the courage approach a jury with any dishonorable proposition. 1f slanderous tongies had gone forth it must have gond from the prosecu- tion, if from anywhere, and now the jury was asked to- wash its chavaoter 1n perjury in order to clean tho atain which the proseeution hid thrown upon it. In eoncluding Carpenter said: “When I sémember, as o mat- ter of popular history, that all these charges wore bruited in the newspa- pers of a great political party during o heated campai two years before this indictment was found; whon I re- member they were canvassed by the press on one side and explained or de- nied by the nther; when I romowber the attempt to connect the late prosi- dent of the United States with the very trancaction [0 which this indiot- ment refors; whén I remomber the proud posttion . my client occu- pied as a_party leader, I cannot but be reminded of the evanescent charac- ter of everything earthly. I need not remind you that in the near future we must all leave, and prior to leaving there will come & moment when mem- ory will unlock all clasps, and will turn over, page by pago, every act of our lives. y you haye the con- solation in that supreme hour to call to mind that uaawed by popular olamor, unshakeén by prejudice, defy- ing thal]uowor the government, that didoharged your duty and ren- ered, in accordance with the testi- mony in this case, a verdiot of not guilty. Jeff. Chandler was next counsel for the defense (and especially Brady) to addrees the jury. Beginning in a low voice, he gradually warmed up to his subject, and received the closest at- tention from every ocoupant of the crowded court room, In support ot the proposition of law, Chandler was about to read from the decision ren- dered by the court in the early part of the case when Merrick, under the im- pression he was about to quote from some other authority and thus argue daw to the jury, objected. Tnis gave rise to quite a heated controyersy, participated in by the court and Mer- rick and Chandler, the last named contending that counsel had no right to judge what kind of argument he should make to judge and jury. He believed it was the constitutionalright of the defendant that the jury should pass upon every question of law and fact in ‘he case, and he thought he could establish that by high authority. He was not willing, however, to of- fond the sensibilitios of the court, Judge Wylio replied that the court had no sensihility about it, but that if it were decided that the jury should judge both of law and fact, the court might as well withdraw, The jury, he said, had a right to render a gen- eral verdict, but it must take law from the court, Chaudler: ‘‘On that question I would like to be heard,” Th court: ““You can be heard here- after.” Chandler: ‘‘We propose to ask in- straction from your honor that in this case the jury is judge of luw and fact, and it is far from.not being a respect- able propotition.” The court: **Ver, welli I will hoar you on your proposition,’ Chandler then quoted from the de- cision of the court to which Merrick had at first objected, and continuing he impressed upon the minds of the jury the necossity of a verdict of ac- quittal when the innocencefof the great wajority of the defendants thrust it- self upon their convictions, When, he said, the prosecutiun asks you, in the dying throes of the government's case, to convict two or three men, I want you to recollect there is no con- spiracy oharged against two or three, onspiracy must be proved against all or none, The court: ‘‘Court has not said the must conviot all or none.” “‘Merriok: ‘‘The court has said just the contrary.” Ohandler retorted: ‘“Merrick must have read the record with an inflated retina and inflamed eye to have come to that conclusion,” Continuing his argument he said the foundation of the conspiracy was laid in the allegation in the indictment of the mutual interests of all parties in all contracts. It united the defen- dants in criminal individuality in all those contracts. prosecution olaimed that conspiracy eriginated in FUST 17, innocent partnership, and* from that took upon itself a criminal form, The court inquired whether it had not been held in many cases that some alloged conspirators might be con- victed and others acqultted. Chandler: “It has, and T will indi- cate the distinotion between those cases and this.” The oourt: ‘‘So long as there are to be convioted, the governmont my fail in all others. 1f the jury are satis- fied two are conspirators convictior is proper, though the charge in the in- dictmoent is against them and many others. That is my impression; I may be wrong about it."” handler: “‘That is where conspir- acy is desoribed to embrace two as well as all. You may indict & man for stealing a horse and you need not rove the color of the ho: but if indiot him for stealing a horse with a white nose, you must prove that the horse he stolo was a red horse with a white nose. Now they have described this con- apirncy. They have described it by its subjeot matter and by names of mdividuals interested in this subject matter. They cannot tear theamselves away from the descripiion They have elected to deascribe this con- spiracy in a particular way, and havin, s0 elected they must stand or fall by that description.” The court: *‘If the jury are of the opinion that whatever money was paid ofticera of the government was paid | ¢ by separate members of the defense in their separate characters, without regard to any oonspiracy, there is absence of any proof of conspiracy. But that is not the echeme ot the prosecution. It is the converse of that; that though those parties were severally intercsted in contracts, yet they entored into a conspiracy by which they made common causs for the purposo of securing the expedi- tion. Chandler: “That is tho scheme ex- aotly.” Court: “Do T understand you to contend that, if conspiracy should bo shown as tosome of those contracts, and others should not bo embraced in the terms of conspirasy, thero could be uo eonvierion!” Chandler: “I do contend that ex act thing —that the couspiracy must ba proved as laid, or it falls to piecos. tn illustration of the proposition that 1t was incumbent on the prosecution to prove that the government had been injured by the expedition of star routes, I will put a hypothetical case to the court. Suppose he had bribed a public officer to pass a juat claim Tadmit he would be liablo to indict- ment for bribery, as would also be the oflizer, but dovs the court hold that they could be couvicted under iudiot- ment for conspiracy to defraud the United States?” The court said he would leave it to Merriok to answer that question, Merrick suggested that Chandler should have an opportunity to think over his question, and the court ad- journed. CAPITAL NOTES. A POINT ON IMPORTED GOODS, Wasnineron, August 16, —Solicitor Raynor, of the treasury, decides that freight on imported goods consigned to an inland city can only be collected at the point of destination. He holds that the collector at the port of ar- rival has no right to demand payment of froight charges. PUBLIC SURVEYS. Out of the appropriation of $460,000 for surveying public lands, Acting Commissioner Harrison has appor- tioned $340,000 among the surveying distriots, The act provides that $50,- 000 of the nggregate bo reserved for examination of surveys made and the department reserved the remain- ing $10,000 for emergencies, A QUESTION OF AUTHORITY. There seems to be a conflict of opin- ion between Judge Raynor, solicitor of the treasury and Judge Lawrence, first comptroller of the treasury, as to who is the law officer or legal ad- visor of the treasury department. Iun his annual report of December last to the secretary, Comptroller Lawrence snid, ‘‘I am the law officer of the de- partment,” Some weeks since the question of an account against the government was referred by the sec- retary of the war to the attorney gen- eral for an opinion upon the legality of the claim, and the latter gave an official opinion in favor of the claims, based upon his construction of the law. The cass went before Comptrol- Jor Lawrouce as the proper accounting officer, to stato the mocount between the government and the cluimant. The comptroller filed an opinion, in which he took issue with the attorney general upon the pownt of law involved, The secratary of the trensury referred the matter to the solicitor of the treasnry, and he has given an opinion in which he says, ‘I conclude to conform to the views expressed in the official opinion of the attorney geaeral. I do not understand that the fivst comptroller has any suthority to expound law aftera suit has beon institated or interfars in the manage- ment of suits brought upon accounts, as staved by humself, The first comptroller is simply an accounting offiser. He has power and suthority to pass upon the law of accounts, so far as it is applicable in tho statement of the same and striking of balances thereon, After stating an account in which I admit he is independent of all other official functionaries, it is the business and duty of the solicitor to bring suit on the account as thus stated by the comptroller, but the at- torney general, as the head of the de- partment of justice, may be regarded a8 having control and direction on suits brought on behalf of the govern- ment,” THE LIGHT BATTERIES, To insure to those possessing more soldierly qualities and regimental esprit tKe appointment to so favorite and distinguished an arm of the ser- vice as the light batteries, an ofticer who has not served with his regiment continaously (including accumulative leaves) for at least the previous two ears will not be considered eligible or detail to light batteries.

Parnell - returning thanks to the corporation for the free- dom of the city, said in view of recent events, it was clear liberty of speech no longer existed in Ireland. He and is associates, however, would take care to bring the subject before the commons at the first opportunity, meanwhile the Irish party would peaceably continue to educate Fmph to govern themslves, and would vise them to accept whatever reform might be offered &em while pushing on toward legis'ative independence. He advised the higher classes while they yet had time to jeinin endeavor- ing to bring about a better state of affairs, as the people could no longer tolerate thetr present degredation.
