In vivid colors ho painted tho pioturo of tho Brooklyn with Oommcdoro Sohloy on tho bridgo Ighting tho ontiro Spanish floct until tho Oregon r.ppoarod out of tho Bmoke. rho than doro of iho Brooklyn, musio For tho oars of bis countrymen, ho said, aroused Admiral Sohloy's envious foes, l?o pioturod tho viotorious sailor Buffer ing as fow have Buffered for three long y oars whilo thc fired of porrooution loaped ?round him ard now awaited tho hour of hid vindication in tho vordiot of tho oourt. Tho Boono in tho oourt room as Mr. Ra> nor finished was thrilling. Tho attendance had boon largo all day and at tho morning session a lady had faint ed from excitement. Aa Mr. Raynor bogan his oulogv of Admiral Sohloy thoa? in tho audience, many of whom woro ladion, loaned forward in their scats. Tho spoil of his oratory waa ovor thom and when ho desoribrd^tbo ?dmiral's gallant doods and tho long perse oution to whioh bo had been sub 3cotod many of th< m broke down and wept. Tho mombois of tho oourt dis played ovidonoo of omotioQ and Ad miral Sohloy himself wau plainly moved. Ho sat, loaning baok with his hands boland his hoi el.

Ho moved uneasily to oonocal his emotion aud Under tho pretenso of adjusting his glasses brush* d tho tears aside. For full 30 Boeotds after Mr. Raynor closed there'.was not a sound. Thon tho tension broke in a loud burst of applause.- Admiral Dowoy, after about a half minuto, arose to re mind tho spectators that Buch a demon stration was out of place. A moment afterward tho court adjournod, tho judgo ad vooate pleading that ho could not well go pa that day. Thon another rumaikable thing happonod. A\i soon as tho gavel foll tho enlim audience eurgtd forward to eheko tho bauds of Admiral Sohloy aud Mr. Raynor. Hut tho on-ooming spectators foil book a momont aa thoy saw Admiral Howey and his two associates move around tho labio, ss if by a oommon impulso, and oongratulato Admiral Sohley and his oounsol, Evon Capt. Lomly, tho judgo advooato, oamo forward to join in tho congratulations. Thoo tho publio hold its inning and for 15 minutes aftor tho oourt adjourned Admin 1 Sohley and Mr. Rm nor woro kopt busy shaking hands. Mr. Raynor mado a plea for tho con sideration of questions from what waa at that timo Ooinmodoro Sohley'o point of viow. "Lot us," ho ?fiid, put our solvos in his piaoo and seo what the circumstances wore. Wo all know now what i\ would havo boon wiso to do." Discussing disp&toh No. 7, known ss "Hear Sohley" lotter, Mr. Raynor now oontondod that tho order convoyed in that moBsago mado it inoumbont upon Uommodoro Sohloy to remain nt Olen fuegos, l?o doolarod that this was tho key to tho whole ooso and that it did not admit of any o thor construction than that Uommodoro Sohloy should remain at Oionfuogos. Order No. 8, upon whioh tho oounsol on tho other sido had laid so muoh stross, ho said, did not permit Commodore iJohloy to leave until satisfied that the Spanish woro not in Oionfuogos. That dispatch roached Commodore Sohley on tho day tho Adula was sont in-a faot whioh Mr. Raynor said ho roaardod as ono of tho most important in tho campaign. Whon tho Adula did not oomo out tho next day as hor akippor had agreed to do, Admiral Sohloy was still further o infirmed in tho boliof that Oorvora Vf ?s in Oionfuogos. Mr. Raynor devoted- attontion to mossagos said to havo bocm corned by tho Eagle and by Lieut. Hood to Ad miral Sohloy oonoorning tho Spanish fleet. Without impugning any, officer, of tho Amorioan.floot,.Mr.. Raynor do olared that Admiral Soliloy was tho vic tim of an unfortunate combination of oiroumstutooa that loft him in total, daiknoBS as to tho location pf tho Span-* ion floct. Couoorning tho question of coaling at sea, Mr. Raynor road tim tes timony of several witnoeees to provothe. great diffioulty Buoh a task involvod.'-, He i;aid that all thoy wanted to proved was that Admiral Sohloy was honost when ho iniotmod tho dbpartmtmt? of his inoroasing anxiety regarding!; ?lie' ooal supply and that ho notod aoodriling lo tho die oates of his own co miede nco'. Ho said tho question was nofc.howilong tho fi mt ooma have rcmniho^l oft ?Wi: ago on blookadet but wh?t ibo fl;ot oouid have dono had tho Spaniards como out, Ho was preparod - to provo that; ooo ohip could not hatfa.followed top.

Mr. lUynor disoutsed tho ninth spe cification which dealt with tho loop .of tho Brooklyn on July 3 and tho 'possi bility of o.jllidiog with tho Texas..; Mr. Rtynor Bain* he stood upon ihO'jtcjoti mony of Capt.

What might havo happened hjul tho Brooklyn turned to port.was purely a manor of on j .oiuro, Tho tum in the other dircotioh was oomplotoly suoooas ?ul. It wa? intimated that tho turn to tho southward had boon to" got away from tho emmy, yofc it was an indio putablo faot'that tho turn 'had brought the Brooklyn olosor to tho Spanish float and ?ho reoeivod .30 of tho43shots whioh Btiuok.t|io Apmr?o^n flips', Capt, O?oh's testimony ho said; . illumined thia manouovor and ho planted himself upon this tostimony, Mr. Raynor thon cHsouBood tho testimony ot Hoi?h?gjina Hodgson, and in thia oonncotion'r?di oulcd tho chart proparod by tho navua tors of tho ships in tho battle. :.

So omah has boon written in regard to tin aubjsot of good roads that tho propio of tho South aro practic ally in thorough aooord with idoa that good roads aro an acquisition to tho country. It is honed that overy oitizon of tho South will, if poisiblo, attend thoso Good HoadB Moel inga and witnosu tho modern and up to dato inothodo of building publio highways.

It is universally deoided that good roada aro wanted, in order to seouro l thom all must pull togother, working systematically and on praotioal linos. This grand tour planned by tho South orn Hailway Company ia a signal for aotlon. if tho Statoa visitod aro not alive to thia and do not avail thom HO Wt s o-1 tho opportunity to aeouro in formation aifordod by tho ''Good H jada Speoial Train," no ono will be at fault (xoopt tho oitizons of tho States in which tho exhibits aro made.
