Storrs That does not make It any bet ter, unless they have some doubts that they have sufficiently established the conspiracy be tween Joyce and McDonald. The court There was no evidence delivered here, that we recol lect, tending to connect the defendant with this report, and we presume, without hear ing It, that the report does not connect he defendant with the conspiracy. It can only be possible for the purpose of showing the na ture, purpose and scope of the conspiracy and lor that purpose it can be admitted.

Annapolis. Feb. IL The main facts con nected with the sad death of Reverdy Johnson in the grounds attached to the. executive man sion, as made known last night, are not changed by the developments this morning. His death was sc sudden atd unexpected, after his appear ance In the state library and about the state boue yesterday wbile tne legis lature was in session. In apparently full health, that the community has not yet recov ered from the hock. Dr. Lewis II. Steiner, state s nator trom Frederick county, a distinguished phjsiclan and chief inspector of the sanitary commission In the army of the Potomac during the wa. who examined the body shortly aner li was found, gives the following as his theory f the cause of death: Mr. Johnson either grumbled over a piece of coal or, fcelng seized with vertigo or incipient sympionasof apoplexy and striving to rave himself, moved towards the west, slagsericg along Dy tne northerly siae of the executive mansion, at each step his body gaining additional momentum, so that having reached tbe door leading Into the basement, be swayed around to tbe south and fell, his head striking against the sharp corner of the granite ca-e of tbe house, which gave the first oUbd on his head. Keachlng the pave ment of rough cobble 6toce8, a second wound was received In front of the first. At this in stant, probably the bones of the nose were fractured, and one Joint of the second finger, of the right hand, was dislocated. Whether the subsequent struggles may account for abrasions on the knees and Augers of the left band can not be positively asserted. The wounds in the scalp were accompanied with fractures of tbe external bones of the cranium and the oase of the skull, and also with the probable rupture of some of the arteries at tbe base. Death mutt have resulted instantly. Mr.Uwynne, attorney 5eoeral of the state, and a son-in-law of Mr. ohnson. Is of the opinion that he was seized with vertigo and fell, as be had a similar at'ack, lasting three hours, while attending a trial In South Carolina several years ago. When tbe general assembly met to day It was Immediately Informed by a commu nication from Uov. Carroll of the decease or air. Johnson. Both houses at once adjourned, and wilt assemble In the hall of the House at 3 o'clock, and then go to the executive mansion and escort the remains to the depot, where they will be taken to Baltimore in a special car. The Sovernor said in bis communication that Mr. ohnson died from an unaccountable and un witnessed accident. BALT1M3RK PAYS HER RESPECTS. Baltimore. Md., Feb. 11.

Salt Lake City, Utah, Feb. 7 Chief Justice to-day concerning polygamy, said: "We had better look It squarely In the 'ace, distasteful as it may be to some, and govern ourselves by right reason nd manly discretion In dealing with It. Polygamy must be suppressed in this territory. Mormonlsm may survive, and rslleved from it would stand unshackled and free aa ever? other creed or mrdeof religious worship, shielded and protected by the constitution of our com mon country. But If Moriionlsm can't sever Itself irom polygamy, it will bo to It the bridal of death." : : . ' v The examining committee , of Plymouth Church met to-nlgbt for the purpose of affording Henry C. Bawen an opportunity of substantia ting tne alleged charges contained in his reply against the Uev. 11. W.Beecber. Bowen sent in a communication, stating that he believed be had made a full and complete answer to White's grievances. If, - however, the - committee thought otherwise, he - would - give the matter further attention, lie requested that White should give blm In writing the exact questions he wished to have answered, li was considered that the reply of Bowen was evasive and unsatisfactory aodthe committee cited him to appear on Thursday evening next and to present a reply to Whlse'a Erlevances and prrduce the proof of the charges made by him. It Is said that If Bowen does not glvr a eatiB'actory reply at the next session of the coram.ttee, his case will be presented to the church. . Devin IL Sumner has been arrested In Brook lyn, charged with forgeries In California amounting to over 1200,000. He was an official In the Baptist Church, and covered his transactions with bis professed piety. The Rev. Mr. Parsball, pastor of his church, learned of some of Sum ner's transactions, and at once the latter plotted to ruin him by accusing bim of adultery, which charge led to P ax h ail's leaving his pulpit. THE SOUTHERN SINUOUS, ' OR CRESCENT CITY CROOKEDNESS. THE NKW ORLEANS WHISKY RING DANCING TO THE MC9IO 8ÜBPCENA DUCES TECUM TELL TALE TKLEQRAMS THK EVIDENCE ACCUMULATING. . ; The New Orleans correspondent of the St. Louis Republican says of tbe situation In crooked circles at that point: Those "striped suits" awarded the Indiana whisky conspirators have caused a marked change In the demeanor of soms of the indicted par ties tere; and instead of wearing that defiant and Independent countenance and assuming an indiflerent air, tbe members of the ring are greatly exercised over their future. Now, more than at any time before, does the seriousness of tbe outlook present itself to them, and. even their influential political lriends'are Interesting themselves in their behalf with those who are supposed tu have some influence with the unrelenting agents ot the treasury department. For the last few days the United States court room has been crowded each morning at the open ing of the court with an anxious throng of spectators eager to cavch tbe first whisper wafted from either tbe lips of tbe United States district attorney or the grand jury, but so far morbid appetite fcas only bf en partially satisfied, and thepubllc are on tbe qui vive for even tbe smallest bit of informa tion of the movements or united states om- cers. These worthies have taken several NEW DEPARTURES since my last letter, the most important be ing an effort to secure for their information all of the telegrams sent or received by tbe members of tbe ring during tbe past two or three years. This was first made known by a summons from the foreman of the grand jury to tbe managers of the two telegraph offices hereto appear instanter, which they did. and explained to the lury the manner in which messages were booked, filed, etc., and bow copies of telegrams received were made tne moment it was received at the op erator's table, and how filed. The jury called tbe managers before them a second time and asked them to produce to-day certain dispatches sent and received, which they will do as soon as an order of the court is served upon them. When the fact of the sudden change of base on the part of the revenue officials became known there was wild ex citement in tbe whisky camp, as those who had dealt In tbe "crooked" knew full well tbe value of their telegraphic correspondence to the government; but thsy could not prevent it, as they could not possibly lose, or have lost, the tele graph company's books or copies of mes sages. Then they were certainly in a quandary and, to extricate themselves as lai as possible from THK IMPENDING CRISIS, they had their agents seek out all of those cx-officlals, storekeepers, gaugers, etc., who would, perhaps, be called upon to testify against them, and, providing each with an ample supply of funds to support them lux uriously for six months or a year, they placed them either on the railroads or boats and santtbemout of reach of the super visor's summons or a marshal's warrant. One, I learn, went to Havana, two others to Texas, and from ttere they go to Mexico, another went to Florida for bis health, and one or two are secret ei In this state upon tbe planta tion said to be owned by one of the ring. The government will necessarily lose some of the most important witnesses but tbe evidence they lose in that way will be fully made up by tbe telegrams which they will produce, and which Supervisor Brady says will develop enough to convict the heaviest men in the businet-s and send tbein all to the penitentiary. Some of tbe telegrams seDtfrom here to St. Louis and Evansville have already fallen into the possession of General Brady and Agent Wheeler, copies of which your coriespondent hai seen. They are EXPRESSIVE DOCUMENTS, SHORT AND SWEET, and indicate clearly that the sender did not care even to have the telegraph operators know what they were doing. Some of these orders read, "Sand one hundred barrels, E. O. B." Which, translated, means, seed one hundred barrels and avoid entering it on any private or government books. Another system of ordering by telegraph was a dis patch worded thus: "Send hundred and filty barrels S. M.," meaning sour masb, when tbe distillery to which tbe order was sent made from sweet mash. Besides tbeae "English" or blind ciphers, some of the dealers bad their regular cipher books or keys, and used them exclusively In tele graphing. Upon the assurance that bis name should not be UEcd io connection with the cases tbe government officers here have furnished a well-known analytical expert here with son a of these messages, and he, after a lew hour' labor, Las discovered tbe key, which makes one more victory for tbe government. Again in another case a key has been fcund by the' agents who are "doing," St. Louis and Indiana, and that has been sent here. Upon comparing it with some oi the telegrams sent it is found that it "fits" tbem exactly, the firm using tbe cipher having done an immense business in the liquor way. Thus little by little have the governmental officers woven their net around the "crooked" portion of this com munity until now they are nearly ready to bring their whole force against them and send them to serve the government at 3Q cents a day each for bard labor. THE ORPHANS' HOME. ANNUAL REPORT ON THK CONDITION -OF THK KNIQHT8TOWN INSTITUTION.

HB WILL NOT BS CONVINCED OF THE BIX TJOSITT. OF MRS. STEWART'S SPIRITS HIS DEFENSE OF HER CLAIMS TO THK CONFIDINCE OF THE FAITHFUL FEW. To the Editor of the Sentinel: Sir In your issue of the 9th icst. appears a communication from S. B. W., alias S. B. Wilson, of Clarksville, Tenn., (as he claims.) who came to Terre Haute a few days since bringing an introduction from Pence, of Clarksville, Tenn., whom no person here knew, aud stated that be bad corns on pur pose to witness tbe manifestations given through the mediumsblp of Mrs. Anna Stewart. Having on the exterior of a gentleman he was made welcome, as all persons who come in like manner are, and was afforded every facility to witness the manifestation? that conditions would allow. I can not take my time nor tax your columns to follow him through each seance or interview he had with the medium. Suffice it, he was treated with as much consideration as any stranger could at-k. Of the elate writing, he spoke la the highest terms to me and others of the powers of the medium, particularly noting the impossibility of fraud on the part of tbe medium, as he held one corner of the state while the writing was done ; and then the writing itself was proof positive that it could not be tbe medium, as tbe writing was very near a iac-eimile of his friend's handwriting, for he had compared them, and, further, the subject matter ol the writ ing put it out of the question to come from the medium. Beside, tears copiously shed by your correspondent over tbe same gave evidence that be bad a soft spot somewhere that was evidently touched. He tells hfs own story in part ia his communication about the recognition of his friends. In tbe seance room, in the presence of some twenty per sons, he voluntarily stated that tbe presen tations, whether spirits of his late friends or not, in a materialized form, he proclaimed a recognition of tbem as such. Called them by name and declared that he was fully satisfied of tbe fact tb.t they were the spirit forms of his late friends. Was he lying then or was he lying in his communication re ferred to above; be can have whichever side of the case he likes best. Lie in one lie in all. Your correspondent has become very pious lately, all of a sudden as it were, while neie, and pushing his Investiga tions be proclaimed himself a materialist, that he bad tiled all the isms without eflact, and if he could receive no evidence of future life from spiritualism that was his la&t hope, and while here he gave evidence (as our ortho dox friends would say) of A NEW BORN SOUL. But what an arrant hypocrite wbo would stand-up unblushlngly with all tbe apparent sincerity of a gentleman, without being asked for it, state one thing to-day, to-morrow make a different statement. That is precisely tbe status of your correspondent. Again he says, we, naming tbe paity from Pans, 111., and hims6lf concocted ttt j lan oi blacking the hands of the mcdictn, and he j tells you be took the advantage of the con-1 fidenca placed in him by the lnmagprs of the seaDce, to get near the person ol tbe medium to be able to accomplish bis purpose, and, as soon ss the seance wes closed and lifcbt raised, he rusbed to the cabinet, seized tbe medium's hand beloro she was fully recovered from the trance condition in which she is held during tbe seance, and after manipulating her hand with h:s hand, on which be says be saw lampblack, he said to tbe medium: Why, there is black on your band. She re plied, If there is you put it there. He asked her to keep still about it, and he would not say anything about it. On the contrary she spoke out immediately, and tald somebody bad put some black on her hand. He told you he left the seancs room in a hurry, as also his accomplices. He tells yon he did rot stand on the manner of his going. Why? THE GUILTY FLY WHEN NO MAN PURSUETH was true in his case and that of his accom plices, as no excitement bad accrued as yet, n i time for investigation was had, and co body was excited until alter the conclu sion was arrived at, that your correspondent bad done tbe dirty work. He also makes the statement that her band was black as the ace of spades. Tbis we pronounce a false hood knowingly . made, aa tbe attempt at blacking ber baud was very bunglingly done, and on behalf of Mrs. Stewart, and the committee managing her teancts. we say your pious correspondent is welcome to her laurels obtained in that victory. Your cor respondent presumes to become the mouth piece tor others attending tbe seance, with out their knowledge cr consent in the use of their names, and uttering sentiments for them they do not entertain, and giving out false impressions from false premises, which is not good tor one sd piously inclined. And now we must beg this thoroughly dis gusted investigator or. spiritual phenomena not in this, the beginning of this Centennial year, In this unceremonious manner with out notice to blast forever not only tbe me diumlBtio reputation and powers, but tbe hopes and happiness of Mrs. Hollis, Mrs. Kegwein, Laura Morgan, Mrs. Anna Stew art and many others, and sink to oblivion tbe fond hopes their many friends, wbo for years have relied noon tbem as truthful and reliable mediums and thousands ol votaries have rejoiced in to tbem, satisfactory evidence of spirit com munion, and the public mind has been agitated and science has reached forth its band and laid bare tbe truth in such man ner as to create a sensation in mine, even aa great as your correspondent, but tbis man, with wonderful perseverance, has got within tbe vail, has discovered tbe hidden mystery,and now these heretofore renowned mediums stand , before "the world and the balam of mankind" exposed, dis graced, and Othello's occupation gone, and your correspondent has been saved and brought back to his allegiance to his own creed. : "Allah be praised." Now, Mr. Editor, allow me to say that Mrs. Stewart "still lives" and may be seen every evening at 7 o'clock at Pence's hail, where ladies and gentlemen who desire may .witness her wonderful mediumistio powers. -Jambs Hook, for tbe committee, Terse Hactb, Ikd., Feb. 11, 1876. .
