Secrotary Folgcr Qulotty Lorvo3 tho OityTho President Changes His " Miud-Notcs. Washington, March ID. When tho court adjourned Friday last the proso cmtlon hud Just utoied their prcllnilu ary argument upon Uio tiertlnentoy of tho question as to whether or not wit lies. (Gen. Brady) had any know ledge, of tho Price draft. This was argued tia an itiiptn taut point bv both sides, for if tlie question is admitted It would probably lead to the admission of testimony by Price in suppoitof tlie government charge. Tho court In answer to a question from Mer rick sjild it would allow tho government an opportunity to re ply to the arguments of the defence. Turning toward the court, Gen. Brady said, posltl vcly : "Your honor, i would prcter to answer that question as 1 did all other similar questions. My lawyois and myself do not seem to have taken the same grounds." Morrlek was or opinion that tho wit ness might answer without reforonco to his lawyers. Tho court, ho ever, said It would bear his lawyers.. Ingorsoll "Of course, your honor, tills Is no question of privilege but of lelevunoy and my client iHintciestod." Wll-on said if tho mutter wore gone into now lie should feel it Incumbent upon him to try now and try it to tlie bottom, But It was not proper to brlngiinother case Into this when it could not be tried and a veidtet had befoie the jury. Ho did not nroposo spending the remainder of his days in a court room trying other mailers that might bo brought Into tho ease. Ono case at a time was a ptnpor method. The court- it has not been brought Into the case. Duvidge then began an aiguineiit upon the statement of tho officer. The court tntenuptcd mid inquired if Merrick's oiler was to show only Hint this drutl had been placed upon witnesses desk. Merrick No your honor. Placed upon Ids desk and given for u coirupt pnrnobO, Thejury weie excused for tho day, and argi.mojit continued at gicat length. Merrick said Brady had stig matized all of Walsh's testimony us false; as a Me made out of the whole cloth on his eross-oxiunl nation, Tho government proposed to Intenogato him relative to the fuels sworn to by Walsh. They had proved in tlie chief examination that tlie oxjiedl tions wcio allowed, and that beyond doubt they wore nl lowed for corrupt aud nioitcy motives, but the witness Came upon the stand and declined lie hud acted from puro patriotic motives. Ho, -brought tho motive Into tho cuso, but lie would find what he thought, was a solid lock was hut a quieic-sand hcucaih his teet for thu government to icbiit his testi mony, On that point there was mote benutlt to bo derived from introduction of evidence. Now that it had been oflored in chief he put Ills motives forward said Mer rick, and "I pioposo by the magic rod of truh to dissolve and disclose his purpose, Ingcrsoll made tho closing argu ment. Ho said it was not material In this cusp whalBrudy'sniotlves were in making tho expedition, It was not necessary to Inttoduce several other cases to piove that Gen. Brady know It was wrong to swindle, the government. You could not prove a man guilty of stealing by piovlng he stole In a thou sand oilier cases. No matter If lie had stolen In those cases, the presumption was he was innocent Ju Ihoebargcs under liini. Ingorsoll commented on the length of (ho tilal, and said that it might rim into years. Tlie com I wild the candles still burned. Ingcrsoll 1 am willing to go on with eleven when one Juror dies, and when tho last dies to lake his administrator ves (to Merrick,) 1 expect to survive it and tliu case may drive along until tho ludire who shall finally puss upon it will not icinoinber even the naliio of your honor, Laughter. J 1 u the eouivo of the argument tho court toojc occasion to tnllglitcn the counsel iith regard lo Its position ui)ii certain questions. Speaking of Brady he said that ho may have been a very kind huuiicd man and allowed tho members of congress to rim over him and uet those order at their will. That would havo been weak and not criminal. If he had been cliaiged with iccivliig bribes the mitt would require diieet evidence on that chuigo and would not allow (ho evidence of any other oltbnse to be ac cepted In pi oof of that charge. It was only Ills motives and Intentions that could make his acts ciimimd. He wan on trial to show ills purpose. Proof that Bnuly hud received billies in another wise could not be used against him, DorsM or other defciidunts. Tho question was whether thu com t could receive evidence of (lie payment to Brady by other contractors. Whether his lief could not on their face bu shown to be criminal hUh by light thrown upon Iilb motives in other transactions. The couit wished It to be distinctly undeistood these hitler vreto only biought to the attention of tho counsel for their uuldaucc: that the court had pot mudo up Its mind upon the mutter us yet. Ingosollkidd ho might continue ills argument to morrow. Adjourned. Capital 'itr.
