Xnfuka or Darwlu's Missing Link Within the past few months the Darwinian theory has nM bedn attracting that lar^e miiisura of public attentlbn accorded immediately after the appearance of 'The Origin of Man^7' It has uot, however, so completely dropped out of tile public mind and memory that people have forgotten the great interest which clustered about th& needed discovery, in the future, of the^missipg lin^k'.'. between man and che lower animals. Some of course there weru Who thought that, if Mr. Darwin could only be induced to cross the Atlantic and visit our shores he could certainly find in the halls of Congress, *ome unmistakable examples of the great desideratum ihis theory, while .if he would only pay a visit to the legislativa halls, of any number of Southern Btates, he could find any number of the objects of his search. This, it will be remembered, was before the day when the process of getting rich by printing pieces of green paper was invented.

But it has been reserved for our Centennial year, to disclose an evidence that the long lost, and anxiously sought after missing link, has indeed been found* Of tbe discovcy and the evidence of authenticity^ on which it rests, the Hew York World give3 such an admirable, and general disoription, that we cannot refrain from reproducing it hers entire, I says:

Thoiionduct of Mafuka. a female gorilla in the Dresden collection of animals, while in the throes of death, ex cites attention among Darwinian and orthodox observers. J?or th« dyin i\ialaka exhibited distinctly human sensibilities and emotions, Kissing the keeper Herr Schoff repeatedly, and taking leave of him as tenderly as if he had been a gorilla, and a brother, or as if she had been a north German woman and-a oistar. Her demeanor in her pathetif going forth is a tuani fest triumph for tbe Darwinians. I' *he does not cleany demonstrate h-r remote relationship with the kiss'd Keeper, and through him with the gen -rations of mankind at large, it birss at it pointedly. For kisBii-if such an entirely and ex elusively human prooednre. It- is even more so than laughing. Hyenas liugb so does the loo and me nurse ba'lad affirms th^t, overcome hy,tbe prodigious huoior of the cow th .t jumped over the moon, and the cat so unaccountably and irrationally in•Hrcorated in the fiddle, the ''little doa I -tig' ed" till his tail came out of euil and hi-» bi-cu»pids rattle 1- But, say lie dtyikey on the occasion of hi* fntrri-iie into the baboon farnilv. whose singular fervor is really a point scored by Darwin, in what amatory or other paroxysm has any .animal b?en known to kiss its mate or yokefellow Not even th» hippopotamus for all I Is -eemingly snp rflons pi- nitude of li|». lanaries, it is true, like sparrows and s- Din .other friendly birds, advati heir beaks ng.--in*t one anoth r, but it in mora akin to the Indiaq nrnde of .jreet.iHtr, whieh cotf-ists of rubbirm noses, than to the tender and 'graceful mode o« salution with which Mtfuki biide her keeper aiii^u. Io that solmu hour she could not have been put. logon airs. Those were not the cas ual oscuiations of Simian coquetry nor .were monkey shines of jmitai iom Tir-y were seri os stnncks, spontaneous, .-ig niticHnt, heaw with pnthos and p.tit in« sorrow. Th^re should be more r* speet felt liereafter for monkeys of -11 «iZHR HS possible progenitors the Dar .vinianofthe future. As to the pre-s-nt discipics of that gre -t philosophy] hev ous:ht to recover the hairv inv^s itnre of Matnka and stuff it and set upiu some clubh-oom trequentad hy advanced thinkers, as tbe missing link.

THE AMNESTY BILL IN THE HOUSE. Speolai the Indiauiipous .urnai Washington, Jan. 1Q—The debate iu the House to day ou general amnesty between Blaine, R-uidall and Cox, was animated and spirited, and not without some touches of huojor. The skirmishing between Blaine and Randall, before tlie hill was taken up, showed the superiority of Bl iiue a a parliameu'ary manager, alhooifh subsi quently, in the debite wiihCox, i' is considered he was worsted. Blaine wanted to tret in his substitute in order to deliver a prepared speech, anr Randall, knowii tils, struggled to cut him off. At the very moment when indali imagined he had carried his point, the ex-Speaker obtained the floor on a privileged question, and jirecipitata ed the very debate the Democrats s'rug-.'led under Rand-ill's leadership to preveut. At. the expiration of the morning hour ndall moved to susp» nd the rules to cousider the Amnesty bill.

The previous question w»v« ord-rd, wheu Mr. Randall anounced he "\v-iuld divide equally the allowed him between both sid-s the House. h^ gentleman ha-* no hour to divide," replied the ex-Speaker "he has cut himself of! by his own motion," Tois was a tearf blow to Mr. Randall, smd expoed his wnnkuesM as a leader. Tne lau^h which greeted Mr Randall's diVcomfi ure Xhoroughly demoralized him, and lifter the main question was ordered oe hogged for unanimous con-ent for one hour's deba e. Objection was ide unless tlie por'unity would be given for H.mendment'. Radall refusing to yield, the vo'e was taken on+he passngeof the bill, resulting, 172 yea-. 97 nays. A two thirds vote i* requ'red by the const! fution, so the bill was rejected,

BLAINE'S SPEECH.

When the aunou.ncempnt of the reMill wa" made, Mr. Blaine moved 'o ri n^iil -r .S|ie-k' r, evid iitly not understanding the force aud purpose oi Mr. Blaine's motion, was about to put it to the Hou^e, wli.-u Mr. Blaiue »aidf "Id sire to lt-b»te lie motion," and immediately ar ra ged himself to deliver th* speech whieh Randall had struggled to ex^ el ide. Biaine'rt speech, wnicu was mainly diiecied to prov Jeff D*Vis

H*diln.f exclude Davis from amnes'y beciii«e"he was the oeod and frouto the rebellion, but because he was tbe stuilty author of a tiorrible crime ayair^t humanity in knowingly permi'tiog atrocit.es that exceeded any ihinc known in history,

SAM- COX REPLIES.

Sam. Cox followed and made a speech which annoyed and irritated Blaine. He Guarded that Blaiue favored unconditional amnesty, last Uoh^ress. and was con'rolled now by ambition to be Pre.-ndeut. He lade nupaerous humorous points a^aiust Blaine, and t' ruled him tiiat oi- speed *s bad and maicions, and would not m.ike hiuj President il he lived a thousand years.

son Trusler, United States District Attornev, and Gen. Thomas Browne and Charles tiol3tein, assistant United States District Attorneys for the Government and Judge Claypool, Judae Denny and Col. Steele, 'of Marion, lor the defense.

HOI.STEIN OPENS THE CASE. Charles Hol-"ein, Esq., opened the casH lor the Government by saying that the defeodent was charged with twelve or thirteen several offenses. Most of tbe counts were drawn under one section of the statutes, of which th^re are sevoral subdivisions. The In-iictment charges an Joflense against oich subdivision, all being for the same offense witn slightly varying phraseology. The first and second counts charge conspiracy. The third cmnt charges Mc-Sriff of accepting a ^.-ibe, he being an ullicer of the Government. The fourth count chaiges him with iking false returns to the collector. The fifth sixth, seveuti\ eighth and niuth counts charge him, as officer, of witholding information

snch as would load to the convici"n of other parties for defrauding llGovernment. The countcba ue3 c.iuspirac\, nd the twelfth accep ini bribes. Counsel then made a mii-ute statement ot ttie duties of tbe ofBcers, and the requirements of the Government on the part of disfciliors, rectifi ers and dealers in alcoholic liquor?, the object being to show that no spirits could, without

LLUSION BETWEEN THE GAUG-Elt AND THE DISTILLERS, or rectifer-. be placed on the market before the tax was paid on it. Wit nesses were present by whom it would be shown that packages had been purchased in New York, which containing nearly twice as much spirits as the books tn the collector's office and at the distillery showed, could only have i! on th* market with the consent and by the connivance of the gauger. The Government was prepared to show that in New York ai ne 1,274,282 gallons of spirits, on which, no tax was paid, had been sold from ttie distillery where Mc Griff was gauger. The Binghams paid defendant for some time be uveen $200 and $250 per month. The Government bus inie interest, iu these distilleries than anybody lse since the 1 rgest part of their products tro into the twiiional treasury, and it appoints officers to superintend them, yet. it .would be in evid nee that for two or tiireeyears the. Binghams had run as they .pleased, at least one-fourth of their product proing' f? ON THE MARKET wtTHOUT PAYING

THE TAX,

and this cnu not be, if tbe defend ant were innocent of these charges Having mnde this statement of ttie case, Mr. Holstein asked the etiurt

instruct the jury that the old rule that tire evidence of accomplices should be disregarded was uo ionge the Uw. The reasons on which ttie time-honored rule was tsed were that wheu it became the law ucconaplicer. were premitted to turn Stale's evid nee, an if anybody was convijted on their testimony they (the informers) were released. The privileueof availing themselves of this iaw was entirely optional, and any me jointly accused with others of a crioie mitiht elect to turn State's evidence" or stand a trial with :tie others,"* This offer of liberty, 'f -"'conviction were had, induced criminals to swear to very ex-iterated stories, at last, ltd gave rise to the rule tha'ibe testimony of accomplices must be disregarded. By the United States statute the testimony of any witness, given in any United States Court, can not be used there, nor anywhere else against him, and this onactment se' aside the rule that witnesses might ref '-e '-to-testify when their teatimoDy would have a tendency to

criminate themselves, because the reason for the rule was ended. So when the Government no.l-n"4 otters a witness hi3 freedom fonw •victing auotiier, there is no longer the reason for the rule that the test:» mony of an accomplice must be disregarded, aud the rule ceases.

HE HAS SUDDENLY DISAPPEARED.

He had an uncle living in New York who was the Eastel-n "agent of the Bingham's in the perpetration of these fraud?. There is not one of these witnesses, except Bingham,but will testify that they never knew or heard of any act performed by Mc Grift which had any connection with Ih3 fraud. We will show that "crooked" spiritscau be put on the market without theknowledgeofthe guager. A distiller could have one kind of spirits guaged, take that out and substitute another of higher pyoof, remove the ink from the stamps and insert the real quantity. We propose to sh^w a state of oircumstances that will convince any candid mau that this defendant is not guilty. The otily attempt made to co.uneot McGritf with the frauds will be by the evidence of Bingham, who ia so covered with crime, by his own statement, that you .can not, as jurors, betieve him. At the close of Judge Denniqg's remarks, the court adjourned until this morning at 9 o'clock, at which time the examination of witnesses will begin,

JUDGE DENNY FOR THE DEFENSE replied that there was no denial of a conspiracy, nor that "the witnesses were engaged lu it, but there was a claim that the defendant had no connection with it. J. W. Bingham will testify that defendant received money, as a bribe. We can show that Mr. Bingham's evidence is of such a character that you, as jurors, can not believe one word of it. We propose to prove, by such witnesses as Governor Baker and others, that his character is above reproach, and we will show you that Mr. Bingham is so covered all over with crime that you can't believe him. We will show you such a state of circumstances as will convince you that Bingham's story is all fixed up. We will show you'tliat iu his distilleries aud rectifying houses lie kept a cheraier. preperatiou to extract ink from stamps, aud he had a confidential man yho perpetrated frauds about the distilleries: He would have been a valuable witness, but he could not oi^uruay r,veiling, Januaiy 15, be found.
