DAY OK DEBATE.
WAsmNGTjN , March 19. The jnry
was oxcuaod fur a day and argument
on the admission of portions of Brady's
evidence continued. Morrlok- ' said
Brady had stigmatized all of Walsh's
tootlmony as false , as "a Ho made out
of whole cloth. " On his cross exam
ination the government proposed to
interrogate him relative to facts sworn
to by Walsh. Brady came upon the
stand and declared he had acted ( in
matters increase and expedition ) from
pure patriotic motives ; no brought hla
motives in the case , but he would find
that what ho thought was solid rock
was but quicksand beneath his feet ,
for it was for the government to re
but his testimony on that point. "Ho
put his motives forward , " said Mor-
rick , "and I now propose by the
magic rod of truth to dissolve and
disclose his propose. "
Ingersoll made the closing argu
ment. He said It was not material in
this cue what Brady's motives in
making expedition were in any other
case ; it was not necessary to Intro-
dnoe several other oases to prove Gen.
Brady knew it was wrong to swindle
the government. No matter if he had
fltolen in thosa cases , the presumption
was he was Innocent of the charge on
trial. Ingorsoll commented upon the
lonffth of trial , that it might run into
years.
The court said the twelve candles
still burned.
Ii c ; rsoll I am willing to go on
with eleven , when one jaror dies , and
when the last man dies to take his ad
ministration ; yes , ( to Mbrrick , ) I ex
pect to survive and the case may drag
along until the judge , whoshall finally
pasi upon it , will not remember even
thej name , your honor. ( Laughter. )
.The court , speaking cf Brady said
he inay have" be en a very kind her.rted
man and allowed members of congress
to run over him and get thebe orders
-ai will : th'atwould'have * been weak
but not criminal. If he had been
charged with receiving a bribe the
court would require direct evidence of
that charge and would not allow evi
dence of any othar ( ft into to bo
accepted in proof of that charge. The
question was whether the court coold
receive evidence of payments to Brady
by other contract on ; whether his aota
could not on their face bo shown to
bo criminal acts by the light thrown
upon his motives in othur transactions.
On this point the court reserved
decision. Ingersoll said no would
continue the argument to-morrow.
Adjourned.

11 A bill w P"1 declaring
capital at Yankton removed , aui ap
pointing a commission of nlno' mem
bers , whoso names are contained in
the act , to select a now slto before the
1st of July. By the terms of { ho act
the commission Is required , .before
designating a slto , to have an cffor of
twenty acres of land aud $100,000 in
cash as a bonus for rrlocating the cap
ital , the land to bo used for the pur
poses of the territorial gorarnraont
and the money to bo oxfondod in
erecting suitable buildings. The bill
also provides that the commissioners
shall not purchase or own Isnd on the
site of the now capital until after the
expiration of ono year fron the tlmo
It shall have boon located. This lost
clause is presumptively designed to
prevent the commissioners from mak-
in , * fortunes In real estate through the
Information they will tint possess of
the slto of the now capital.
Governor Ordway drew this extraordinary -
ordinary bill and modeled it after a
hill by which the capltal'of Nebraska
was located at Lincoln. The commis
sioners who selected Lincoln for the
capital of that state made millions by
the operation It is well understood
In Dakota , that whllo the commls
slonors personally under tha now law
may not buy up the lauds around the
slto that may bo chosen for the now
capital , there Is nothing to prevent
their friends from brying for thorn.
It is reported that a stock company
has already been quietly formed with
a capital of $1,000,000 , to buy 10,000
acres of land at the point which the
commissioners will select for the terri
torial capital.
ThU company will donate twenty
acres and $1,000 to the territory. A
spot will bo chosen to which , at least ,
two railroad lines will bo built , and
the profits of the ring on their cheap
lands will bo enormous. There Is
great excitement in the territory re
garding the removal of the capitaland
charges of bribery and corruption are
freely mado.

The power of the telephone to trans
mit the voice to long distances is inti
mately associated with its delicacy.
Mr. Willonghby Smith has found by
experiment that that a telephone will
work through a "resistance" of wire
corresponding to 150,000 miles of tele
graph line ; and hence It would seem
more child's play to fullfil the words
of tho- poet , and "waft a sigh from
Indus to the Polo. " But this U only
a laboratory experiment ; for an actual
telegraph lines the leakage of olootrl-
o ty from the wire to the ground , damp ,
and ether drawbacks , render the trans
mission of speech by wire far lens easy
in practice than was at fir t tupponud.
Nuvorthuloas , it is on record that Mr.
Edlann transmitted n speech ever a
line 750 mllou lonq In America ; and
conversation has been oatrlod on ever
500 miles In ludlii ; 300 mllou , from
Tabriz , lu IV-roii , to Tiflli ; . and 300

atmosphere ; but Mr. Van RTsaoll
burghu , tbo Ingenious chief c the
Meteorological Observatory at Bros
sols , has telegraphed from that city tc
Paris , a distance of 215- miles ; , and
this whllo the same wire was carrying
stmul tanoonsly an ord iuary Morse tel
egraphic message. By a peculiar dis
position of his ipparatns , Mr. Van
Ryssolbergho spoke to Paris by tele
phone without any Interference from
the Mono signals that wore traversing
the identical wire at the same .time.
The day after the bombardment ol
Alexandria it was announced In the
London papers that the nolso of the
guns had boon heard at Malta by telephone
ophono through 1,000 miles of sub
marine cable. Experienced electric
ians took the statement with a grain
of salt , because ( key know that a sub
marine cable differs from a land tele1-
graph wire in the greater retarding of-
eot whloh it has on electric currents
traveling along it. A cable has the
fefloot of running together jumping
np the delicate and rapidly succeed
ing vocal currents of the telephone ,
and either mntBing thu articulation nr
creating absolute silence. 500
miles of land line would make little 01
no difference on the distinctness of a
telephonic message , supposing the
wire to bo well insulated from the
earth , but 100 miles of ordinary iub.
marine cable will probably bo quite
dumb. Indeed , some experiment !
made by the writer , with Dr. Mnlr
head's artificial cable , show that while
the voice could bo faintly hoard
shrongh a length equivalent to fifty 01
tlxty miloB , when It came to eight ]
miles no sound at all wai
audible. The inductive retard
atlon had frittered away ace
blotted out the delicate undnlatloni
of the vooil currents. Telephonic
messages have , however , bonn success
fully sent by cable acroM the channel
and from Holyhead to Dublin : but line
no oa o has the length of the cabli
roach 100 miles. The dream of whSs
poring across the Atlantic underthi
"roaring forties" Is likely ti > remain i
dream for a long time to come.

The resolution were road In Eng
lish and Gorman and nnamlinously
adopted , They declare the world of
labor Is plunged into sorrow. Its
most powerful thinker , its noblest
here , Karl Marx , is no men. His
llfo and the great power of his Intel
lect have for thirty years boon devoted
to the cause of the laboring pooplo.
In the field of social and economic
nclonco ho was first to provo by
statistical facto and reasoning
based npon universally recogni
sed principles of political
economy that capitalistic production
must necessarily lead to monopolizing
and concentrating all industry to the
hands of a few and thus by robbing ,
the working classes of the fruits of
their toll , to reduce them to utter and
absolute slavery and degradation.
The resolutions conclude by pledg
ing the dissemination of tbo Ideas , of
Murx to the world and dedication of'
their lives to the cause cf which ho
waa the pioneer and In whloh ho loft ,
so noble a record. Telegrams of con
dolence were received from Boston ,
