Special Despatch to tH3 Herald by Cable London, April 8.—The annual Oxford and Cambridge boat raca was rowed to-day upon the Thames, from Putney to Mortlake, iu the presence of an immense multitude,which far outstripped iu numbers the spectators of any previous year.

THE BLUB FEVER.

Never did the "blue fever" claim more victims, and so it happens that now, as in other years, the ladies setoct their charrning costumes of dark or light blue, tho men buy their cravats, the Cockney pins on his huge rosette, the cabman adorns his whip as eagerly as ev-r. Blue is everywhere—in the bonnet of tho duchess,in the ears of tho eosterrnonger's donkey. In fact, the only place where blue is not is in the mental temperament of all concerned.

BRIGHT AND AUSPICIOUS WEATHER. The morning sun shone brilliantly over the river, and a cloudless sky, Buch as is rarely seen in London at this time of the year, welcomed the enormous crowds who thronged the various routes from London. During the whole morning and afternoon this magnificent weather continued, and the light blue of the sky was interpreted by the Cantabs and their friends as a happy omen of success. The weather reminded old racing men oi that bright day in August, 1S69, when our own Harvard met the Oxford men on the same course.

THE ORO'»VD3.

The railway stations at Barns and Putney eject musses of humanity, the roads rintr with the clatter of wheels, tho lordly drag looms huge over the apple woman's handcart, while the river itself is alive with swarming cralc special steamers, tiny private steam launches, gigs, wherries, shells, punts and ©very imaginable floating thing. Trains, carriages, boats all go

BARNE'S TERRACE

Is, as usual, resplendent with blue of both shades. The terrace of houses stands back from the river, and beau* tiful lawns and gardens intervene. These are crowded with well dressed ladies and gentlemen, who glance down from the top of their wall upon the struggling crowd_ below. From Barnes' Bridge to the winniug post not a foot of ground is unoccupied. Even the roofs of the houses are black with people. Having thus completed our preliminary tour of inspection, we must hurry back to the starting point, which, as .the time draws near, is a scene of seething excitement.

GETTINO READY.

A cheer from the London and Leander boathouses announces that prepa rations are being made to launch the boats.

THE CREWI.

All eyes are now directed toward the quarter from which the crews must approach, and presently on all sides is ueard the shout,

THEKKTHEV ARE!

Field glasses are brought to boar upon the heroes ot the moment, who are walking down leisurely by- twos and threes and surronuded by a crowd of eager well wishers.

THE TOSS.

And now the question is"Who's won the toss?" the answer to which is generally, "I wonder who?" But now a mighty shout rends the air, as the crews are seen padding down toward the barges moored 10 the Putney Aqueduct." ^Ve now see that Oxford has won the toss for choice of position, and has selected tho Middlesex side as the moro favorable,

THE TIDE AND WATER.

The tide was about the middle of the flood, and was running lilro niilliaca when the boats started. Tho water throughout was perfectly smoooth,

while

The finish is tho same distance above the famed inn, the Ship at Mortlake. Tho boats are got into ttieir position at 0 miiiutea to 2 M.

THE BOATS.

Oxford rowed in the newest of tho two boats built for her by Cla3per, the Oxford boat builder, whi.o Cambridge occupied tho new boat built for them by Swaddle & Winship, of Newcstle-on-Tyne, it having developed better qualities than their Searle boat.

THE START.

The boat3 back up to tho barges. The next moment the crews strip down to their boating jerseys, and the starter, Mr. Edward Searle, liand3 the discarded clothes up to the umpire's boat. A man in each barge holds on to the stern 01 each boat. A moment of suspense follows,during 'Which every man iu tbe vast throng diaws his watch as a man in danger draws his revolver, waiting for Mr. Searle, the starter, to give the word. A thousaud necks are craneo to see tho "first catch" and double the number of ears listen for the signal. The clear voice of the startor breaks upon the air—"Gentlemen, are you ready?" Like machines the crews 'get forward." A moment of absolute silence. Then "GO!"

I

ILrom the New York Sun.

Scott Com-

Washington, April lO.j^-Mr, Lord of New York, from jthe mittee on tbe Jndiciary, to-day submitted a report on tbe resolution referred to that committee with reference to tbe letter sent by 'AttorneyGeneral Pierrepont to the District attorneys iu St. Louis, Chicago and Milwaukee. After quoting the letter and the reasons given by the Attorney»General for writing it, the report continues:

The Attorney-General, to prevent bargains with criminals likely, as he says, to bring great scandal on the administtation of justice, and a9 a precaution against any suc]|i possible wrong. wrote the letters, and asserts that cautious circumspection and judgement were required to see that criminals should not successfully combine to shield themselves, by charpng'iheir own crimes upon innocent men therefore it became necessary to notify his subordinates of his desermin* ation that the prosecutions mould be so conducted that wheu tlfey were over it should appear •'that,BO guilty one, who has been proved guilty or coMfessed himself guilty'. i$id been suffered to escape punishment." The question therefore arisesjwhether the Attorney General, in so ^instructing his subordinates, acted in[ contravention of the long-established rule relating to the testimony of! accomplices in criminal actions,

The testimony of accomplices lias been used against their associates from the early ages of our jurisprudence. The evidence of accomplices has at all times been admitted, either from a principle of public jjolicy, or from judicial necessity, or from botn. The general rule is, that a:person who confesses himself guilty is a competent witness against his partners in guilt. rmwpiz-i.) Archibald, in his ennainal pleadings and evidence, page 154, says: "An accomplice may give evidence against those jointly-, guilty with him, but although in point of law they may be found guilty on his testimony alona, yet In practice it is not usual to convict on^tMfe^testl-, mony of an accomplice," hnIess confirmed in some material part by the testimoney of oth«r crediblo witnesses. The necessity of such a rule is apparent. In the cases to which the letter of the. AttorneyGeneral relates, conspiracies are essential to their existence. When each conspirators know that any one of the necessary accomplices may gain immunity by revealing the conspiracy,'it leads him to hesitate, and after the conspirators have committed the crime for which they combine it is very difficult, if not impossible, until one or more of their number seeks the immunity given a wit' ness, for the State to bring the conspirators to justice.

But the Attorney-General answers that he intended only to prevent criminals from combining "to sheild themselves by charging their crimes upon innocent men." How does he kuow, particularly at this distant point,who are innocent men? Does he judge from their apparant respctibiiity or high official position? Of the classes of apparently respectible citizens and high officials may have confessed their guilt and others have been proven guilty. Did not the high officials and apparently respectable citizens at first vigorously protest their innocense? Why did not the AttorneyGeneral, as did the Secretary of the Treasury allow some discretion to his subordinates? Why did he say that no guilty man who confesses himself guilty 6hall be allowed to escape punishment when by by the necessary force of the language accomplices are included?

The report then quotes the rules of law in answer to the Attorney General's position, and says:

wol

But under the rule l»id down by the Attorney General, the legal adviser of the President, based upon allegations made to the President and himself, theserulesarSof.no avail. The subordinates of the Attorney General would be guilty of perfidy unknown to an honorable profession should^ they permit accomplices to testify without informing them that they could expect no favor, although the court and jury should be convinced that they spoke the truth. All -experience has shown that without such expectation accomplices will not testify, and existing,conspiracies to commit crimes may not only go on with impunity,but new conspiracies may be organized with comparative safety. It is alleged that the letters of the Attorney, General had the effect of suppressing testimony in a recent important case. That the defendant in that case understood it would have that effect appears from the fact stated by the Attorney General, that such defendant, distrusting, perhaps, the Attorney General, surreptitiously made it public.

The committee recommended adoption of the following.

BEECHER.

An Opinion ou Eeleslastleal Law. New York, April 10.—Soon after the adjournment of the Advisory council the Rev. Dr. LeonardB icon appealed to Prof. Smjthe and the Committee of Andover church to assume the ra gponsibilicy of presenting the charges against Beecher and maintaining them before the investigating committee. Prof. Smythe in reply to Bacon's appeal has written along letter in which he explains why, in his judgment Andover church cannot take this step, He holds that the commission in its origion, authorship and proposed constitution fails to meet the judicial requirement of care, aud he has ascertained that several important witesses will not testily before that body although they are willing to go before the mutual council called by the Andover and Plymouth churches. He therefore falls back upon Andover letter as offering the only basis for a thorough investigation of the scandal. His position is the same as that of the minority who have withdrawn from tbe Congregational Ministers association of New York and Brooklyn.

MORE MEXICAN MATTERS. New Orleans, April 10.—Galveston, April 10,—A special to the Galveston News aays: Laredo, Texas, April 10, 1876.—Great excitement here caused by the arrest of Mr. Diamond, an American citiz3n in New Laredo, Mexico, by Pueblo 4uintana, commander of the federal forces in Mexico. Quintana demanded money from Mr. Drimond, who refused, ben he was imprisoned with the assurance if mony was not forthcoming be would be shot. Drimond sent for the commercial agent, who protested agaiust such an outrage,' but without effect. When he crossed to tins side and reported the facts to M*jor Merriam, commanding this port. Major Merriam, with the United States Commercial Agent recrossed to New Laredo and interviewed Quintana, who stated that if Diimond's store was robbed, he wouldn't be responsible. Merriam asked Quintana if he stated that onlcialiy or as a threat. Quintana replied that he did not want to talk abou., n. Merriam told QuiQtaua thjit h© would have his command in re&dipess to pi otect American citizens. Quintana said, •'Do as you damn please." Drimoiid released, the revolutionary party made a move on New Laredo, and attacked Quintana at daybreak this morning, and alter lighting two hours were ^repulsed.

A Serious Family PerformaEce. They lately had a comedy which lasted all night on asteamboat at the New Orleans wharf. Wm. Latimer, a steamboat painter, had ascended to the top of one of the steamer Natchez' chimneys by means"of tackle, and got upon a narrow balcony formed by iron wicker-work around the mouth of the chimneys. He was working there, about 100 feet above the deck, when, shifting the tackle to correspond with a change of position he was abuot to make, it slipped and fell to the deck, leaving him on his high perch without any means of decending safely. It was late in the evening then, and all efforts of the captain and crew to release the painter from his uupleasant position failed of success. They tried tosptfee together ladders enough to reach him but they were too shorr. They tried to throw him a cord by means of which he might haul up a rope to descend upon, but could not 'hit .,.3the right spot. In the meantime the painter was a patient observer of-the collecting crowds on the levee. The delighted spectators laugbed and shouted, and the sun fell and all the wharf was dark. Latimer did not come home to his evening meal. Latimer's children came and saw with terror the ticklish position of their protector. They huddled together shivering on deck and looked tearfully up the chimney. The captain finally gave up trying to extricate Latimer that night, '-but the man's family stayed by him, as near as they could get, and spent the night gazing, as it were, at the man in the moon, and shouting to him constantly, and getting his answers, in order to prevent him from falling asleep and also falling down the chimney. So they kept up a lq.ud conversation aud carried ou the comedy all night It was very funny to the wharf -audience, but very serious to the actors. It was a Serious Family performance.
