THE NEW‘ YEAR.
We believe it is the wont of all care-
ful business men at the beginning of a new
year to take a_ sort of ‘ account of stock,’
to review their operations for the past and
mature plans for the future. It strikes
us that a similar retrospection from this
stand-point will not be inappropriate in
matters personal and moral, as well as
in those of practical life. No man or wo-
man in full view of the experiences of the-
year just past can but form higher esti-
mates of his or her capabilities for useful-
ness, make nobler resolves for virtuous
action, and having done so, live up to the
resolution. We are annually progressing
in the development of ahigher civilization
——a' civilization demanding new sacrifices,
greater exertions, nobler purposes, and a
purer and more extended philanthropy.
Time was, when a man’s sphere of ac-
tion, influence and duty was limited to
the radius of his own family circle, or at
most that of his own immediate neighbor-
hood, but now, to-day, Man has grown
cosmopolitan! The developments of the
arts and of science have literally jerked
our century a thousand years ahead. We
live without cant, in a very fast age I--
A thousand voices till now dumb proclaim
with the utterances of thunder the univer-
sality of man, and one common broth-
erhood. The pulpit, the forum, the press
have been fired with this resistless energy
—this unwonted zeal,—-and the man of
TO-DAY should thank God and take cour-
age. Away with your sickly sentimental-
ism that whines for the_past. Weak in-
‘deed musthis faith be who cannot discern
in these signs of the times—faint though
they be—some visible glimmerings of
that millenial period promised our sin-
stricken world. Man of the past was as
a dead mummy compared with this liv-
ing, breathing,- resistless etherial essence
of Deity, of. to-day. View him ‘in his
workshop, his marts of trade, his haunts
of commerce, and contemplate his pro-
gress in intellectual development and an
enlarged philanthropy and higher civiliza-
tion. S'ee him with his magnetic fingers
feeling his way into remotest regions, run-
ning over every hill top and valley his
iace work of ‘iron nerves whereon the
lightnings skip and leap and become the
vocal oracles of its servant man l—-Con-
template the utterance that thrills along
these magnetic lute-strings engrossing the
thoughts of him of the pine foret of our
northern frontier, while he where blooms
the magnolia and orange flower hangs a
listner upon the same magic vibrations‘!
Nay _more ;- leaping the bounds of ocean,
these lightning flashes shall not only irra-
diate the jeweled brow of the “ Island
Queen” but darting across to sunny Fracce
its clickings shall mingle with the lulabys
that waft to rosey slumber the Imperial
Heir. View him in his realm of imple-
ments-—-mid his myriad spindles and fly-
ing shuttles; mid the ring of the anvil and
the roar of the forge; all uniting in tumul-
tuous chorus to the restive genius of man.
:See those great leviathans of the deep
that go panting and steaming out to sea,
lashing the ocean into fury in their impa-
tience to annihilate time and space l Then
his Iron horse, with sinews of seething
steel, nostrils of flaming fire and arteries
of molten ores—-thundering through the
land, shaking the mountains with his
tread and causing the hills to quake With
his voice l Contemplate his symbols of
thought——the blackened type, the spot-
less sheet,-—the lightning Press belching
forth from its collapsing jaws the steam-
ing sheet and printed page, and these in
turn caught up before the press-damps
have passed to air, and scattered to the
four quarters of the globe ! Then let us
turn and ask what lessons do these prob-
lems teach us? Do not‘these fraternal
bands of iron which clasp Nations togeth-
‘ er in indissoluble bonds, teach lessons of
duty, of charity, of action, and of “Good
will to men?”
None can escape the mandate to enter
the world’s great vineyard. It is not for
us .to dictate individual duties—-an en-
lightened conscience will teem with them
if its xmouitions be heeded. But in gener-
al terms may we _not suggest that we
cast aside any slugishness that may have
seized upon us, and resolutely battle for
even greater powers of usefulness. “Do
with thy might what thy hand findeth to
do"’—’tis no age for moping, doubt or hes-
itancy. ‘Vist the widow, comfort the fa-
therless, lift up depressed humanity, in

The Congireaaional Nomination
The Stamford Advocate. for the last few
weeks, has teemed with scurrilous articles up-
on the above topic, over which, the Loco Foco
Bridgeport Farms; chuckles an'd rubs its
hands in high glee. We do not propose to
reply to those articles ; we are aware that
they have been received with universal dis-
approbation, even within the immediate range
of the circulation of the Advocate, and more-
over, our mode of promoting the interests of
the political organization, to which we are
attached, does not cosist in heaping gross in-
sults upon prominent gentlemen connected
therewith. _
We have heretofore said that we are willing
to leave the whole matter to the Convention.
The afdcocate cavils at this, and suggests
doubts about the composition of that body.
Well, then, we are willing nay, most desirous
that the people should decide this matter, in
the selection of delegates ;. for, give us but a
fair representation of the people in that Can-
vention, without packing or wire pulling, and
we know what would be the result, notwith-
standing all the machinery of the Jldcoeate
and its present managers. .
' And here we leave this subject until after
the nomination shall have been made, nor
shall we be betrayed into further discussion
of the matter, by anything which this sudden
coalition of the Jldoocate and the Farmer
may produce.

Another Land Mark Gone.
The past year has chronicled the demise of
an unusual number of celebrated Horses. as
well as of men, and as “ Black Hawk,” “War
Eagle,” “ Gifford Morgan,” etc., have had
their Biographers, we propose a few -lines to
the memory of a no less faithful or valuable
animal, although occupying possibly a mqre
humble sphere. We speak of “ Gnznrrs Or-
Iuoi-: J Aux,” as he has for the last ten or elev-
en years been familiarly known to most of
the people of Norwalk, New Canaan, Wilton,
and Ridgefield, where for the period named,
with slight interruptions, he has weekly borne
his freight of news to the expectant patrons
of our office on the “ Ridgefield Route.” On
Tuesday week “old Jack” sickened while in
the harness, like a faithful servant, as he was,
and died on his route at the good old age of
twenty-two years.
Old Jack had many virtuous traits of char-
acter, which like those of the biped race, “en-
deared him to a largecircle of friends.” It
had long grown into a proverb that “Jack
knew more than half the men in Norwalk,”
and this without disparaging the scale of in-
telligence reached by the male portion of our
inhabitants, was a greater truism than might
have at first been supposed, Whether horses
reason or not, we leave for the metaphysician
to settle, but that Jack had some sort of men-
tal organism that frequently outwitted his
biped companions,many can testify to. That
he could “ trace cause to effect,” as critically
as the most astute philosopher, we also fully
know that he possessed all the qualities of
Pride and Jlmbition, or their counterfeits,
with a sort of latent, ar intuitive presenti-
ment of the wishes of his driver, his wonder-
ful faculty of anticipating the place to which
he was going, or the desires of his master ful-
ly attested. So true was this that he could
be easily driven and engineered without re-
course to the reins. In the “ canta days” of
his youth he performed prodigies of speed
and endurance, and fabulous stories are told
of the miles he has traveled from sun to sun,
and in most cases drawing his load with
his teeth. A curious trait was his pulling so
heavily upon the rein when a gentleman was
driving, that few men could “ hold him in,”
while when driven by a lady or a child. he
was as“ tender on.the bit,” and as tractable
as a lamb. Possessng this trait, and being
withal, high spirited, proud and showy he soon
became a great favorite among the ladies,and
as a penalty, had to do much gratuitous labor
in displaying his gallantry in their service.-
As a consequence, in life his virtues were
commended, and in death he is lamented, and
his memory revered. We doubt whether the
death of the incoming Bachelor President,
would occasion half the heartfelt regrets
among the good dames of our neighborhood,
as his sudden demise. Jack attained his ma-
jority some two years since. an notwithstanding
his acknowledged intelligence, his having
become a resident and a tan: payer in the
town. such was his disgust of politics that he
never presented himselfat the polls for the
purpose of voting ; generously declining to
cast any reflections on the qualifications of
very many vastly his inferiors in practical
knowledge, who were exercising that highest
prerogative of citizenship. He did his coun-
try much service. however, in dispensing
ballots to adjoining towns on the mornings
of election days, and transporting invalid or
tardy voters throughout the day,to the polls,
nor ceasing his labors till the “Returns” were
expressed in, in the evenings He has probe’
bly cai-tried more voters to the polls, ' more
Delegates to Mass Meetings and Conventions,
than any cotemporary piece of horse-flesh.
In the winter of 1848, he went with us to
Washington, journeying through alternate-
1y by land, rail car, or steamboat, following
us without driving or leading, on board of
whatever vehicle he was to be ensconced in,
with all the fidelity of a dog. While at
Washington he enjoyed some of the honors of
“ omcial life” in occasionally conveying the
members of the Cabinet, and others high in
authority, to and from the Departments to
the White House, and on one occasion en-
joyed the companionship of “ old Whitey,”
the war-steed of “ old Zack.” But Jack was
for peace, (although possessing a wonderful
fondness for martial music, and if allowed,
would follow drum and fife with as much de-
light as a school-boy,) and betrayed none of
that weakness so common to his biped fellow-
mortals upon being introduced to the Society
of distinguished pe1'80fl3899-

and are composed of copper, nickel and

Cheering Prom Kansas.
The blood of the martyrs, it would
seem, is likely, after all, to redeem the
soil of Kansas. We are ’ amazed at the
recent turn of events there, but dare not
yet enjoy a hearty confidence that the vic-
tory is yet won. But it does seem as if
the patient sufi'ei'ings of the mai'tyi's_—the
public sentiment of the best portion of
the people ,of Missouri, as finding vent
through the columns of the Missouri Dem-
ocrat.—aiid the expression of the national
feeling at the recent Presidential election,
was likely to prove too much for even
Atchison, Stringfellow, Donaldson, Jones,
Titus, Lecompte and the whole horde of
pro—slavery villains.
A private letter from General Pomeroy,
published in the Springfield Republican,
dated Manhatten, Nov, 23, gives a very
pleasing account of future prospects.'——
The General says—
“Clothing, etc, from the East has
been received,and the determination is to
stick by till Kansas is free. If we do not
succeed, it will be some satisfaction to
have deserved success. But we shall con-
quer. This countrycanuot be sujugated
‘to slavery.There never were freer spirits
than here ; and every month of suffer-
ing but adds to the solemn vow long since
taken that Kansas shall be free. You
need not, therefore, despare of our condi
tion, for we do not. If Congress admit us
as a free State, it will be well ; if not, mo-
menous indeed will be the result.”
The General has been on an exploring
tour, oh horseback, far beyond the settle-
ments of any white man. He encamped
2 days at Solomon’s Forks, where he said
the conntrywap full of timber—-and alive
with deer, antelope, buffalo, &c. Prairie
turkeys were as thick as frogs in Eygpt.
Two days more brought him to the Sa-
line, and many salt springs. We copy as
follows :
“ The valley is beatiful, and grass is
here green all winter. We have made a
town at the mouth of the Saline. Fifteen
men took claims, and I have just returned
for more,
“ The town where I am now stopping
for a day is at the mouth of the “ Big
Blue,” and upon the North side of the
Kansas. We have here a steam mill
and a good settlement. The pro—slavery
men now are quiet and mostly out of the
territory. We number four to their one,
and probably more, for the Southern
army under Buford and others have left.”
A -Kansas correspondent of the Cin-
cinnati Gazette accredits Gov. Geary with
another honorable act of justice to the free
State prisoners. He arranged with the
Land Commissioner the claims of those
in prison should not be sold in their order,
but be passe over until after the trials
that those acquitted might have a chance
to retain their claims. The same fur-
nishes the folowing encouraging state-
ments, nnder date of Leavenworth, Dec,
“ Governor Geary, having become sat-
isfied that he can make nothing by ad-
hearing to the pro-slavery party, has,be-
come a free State man. He has taken
steps to have all the pro-slavery oficers in
the territitory except Cato, (who is so
pliant that he can use him for his purpose,)
dismissed. Secretary Woodson’s turn, it
is said, will come next, and it is current-
ly reported here that Richard B. McAl-
lister, the Governor’s -private secretary,
will be appointed in his place.
“The Grand Jury having found in-
dictments against G. W’ Clark, the mur-
derer of Barber, against Hayes, the mur-
derer of Buifum, and against Captain
Emery, all pro-slavery men‘ an indigna-
tion meeting was held by the citizens of
Lecompton, to denounce such a jury.”
“Col. Buford, who, at the opening of
the land sale, commenced bidding as
though he intended to buy up the whole
tract. yesterday offered to sell out. He
finds, on examining his lands, that he
has been badly bitten, having bid off
nearly all the ledges and bluffs in the
tract. In addition to this, he is disap-
pointed that .the pro-slavery men did not
buy more extensively, and does not hesi-
tate to declare to his friends that Kan-
sas will be a free state, and that further
efforts on the part of the South are use-
less. Col. Titus has also declared that
it is useles for the South to attempt to
establish slavery in Kansas.”

Chinese Sugar Cane.
The Gazette says that Mr. S. P. Fitch
has tried the experiment of raising the
Chinese Sugar Cane, this season, and has
been successful. A sample of the molas-
ses obtained is pronounced richer than
the common Sugar House Syrup.
It is highly probable, that further ex-
periments will be made, next scason.——
The time is certainly propitious for the
introduction of the plant. The Patent
Office Report says that it has a stronger
claim upon the American agriculturist,
than any product brought to this country
since the introduction of cotton and wheat.
This will seem extravagant to most per-
sons, but, aside from the posibility of
making sugar. we are told that its value
for the purpose of feeding animals is not
surpassed by any other crop. The Re-
port "says :
“ Since its introduction into this coun-
try, it has proved itself well adapted to
our geographical range of Indian corn.
It is of easy cultivation, being similar to
that of maze or broom corn ; and, if the
seeds are planted in May, in the Middle
States, or still earlier at the South, two
crops of fodder may be grown, in a season
from the same roots, irrespective of
drought——the first one in June or July,
to be out before the panicles appear, which
would be green and succulent, like young
Indiancorn, and the other a month or two
later, when or before the seed is fully
matured. The amount of fodder which
it will produce to the acre, with ordina-
ry cultivation, may be safely estimated,
at seven tons when green, or at least
two tons per acre when thoroughly cured.
The stalks, when nearly mature, are filled
with a saccharine juice, which may be
converted into sugar, syrup, alcohol, or
beer, or may be usedfor dyeing wool or
silk, a permanent red or pink, and the
entire plant is devoured with avidity,
either in green or a dry state, by horses,
cattle, sheep and swine.”

hour last evening, Rev. Henry Ward
Beecher had received nearly six hundred
calls at his house on Brooklyn Heights.
The custom of setting out extravagautly
ornamented tables for guests seems to be
going out of fashion ; at least there has
been much less of it than formerly. In
consequence, demonstrations of affection
toward lamp-posts and ash-barrels, were
less frequent and less violent than usual.
Persons familiar with the city say that no
occasion has ever called forth here such
an elaborate and expensive exhibition of
over-dressed ladies. But so long as “Pa”
foots the bills, it’s all right. Hoops
swelled out frightfully, and near-sighted
people were obliged to carry opera glas-
ses in order to get a view of their lady
acquaintances. An accident happened at
Niblo’s the other night, which should be
published as a warning to all ambitious
fashionables. As a lady was passing out
in the crowd, one of her steel-hoops gave
way under the outside pressure, and snap-
ping in the middle, perforated the calf of
the leg, inflicting a severe flesh wound.
After dallying in the ' distance for
awhile, and granting us one week of most
delicious respite, chill Winter has pounced
suddenly upon us, decked out with all
his icicles. The broad glass plates of
Broadway windows are dim with crystal
frost, veiling a thousand brilliant displays
of Cnristmas bagatdles. No crowds
gather around the prostrate horse, victim
of Russ’s incomparable pavement.—-
There is nothing in the heavens above, or
the earth beneath, which can tempt men
to stand one moment in the icy air.-—
They go through the streets on a dog-
trot, pushing towards cosy offices, and
warming their imaginations with visions
of stoves. Troops of skaters go up in the -
direction of Harlem, most elaborately
equipped. The season promises to be
very favorable for this amusement, which
is not so popular here, however, as in
some cities. Young New York is rather
weak in the legs, and can’t accommodate
his centre of gravity to any surface but
flag-stone. And we are obliged now to
go so far out of town to reach skating
grounds, that very few fast livers can
spare the necessary amount of time.—-
Those early Manhattanites of the last
century, did their skating on “marshy
places” down town, over puddles, whose
site may now be worth something like
$1.000 per square foot.
The Huntington case was closed up on
Monday. Brady’s plea was ingenious
and eloquent, as every one expected, and
crowds went away from the court-room,
unable to get within ear-shot. The ver-
dict surprised and delighted everybody.
It is really refreshing to think that twelve
men could be picked up in New York,
too enlightened to be deceived by an ab-
surd pretenc of moral insanity, which by
its very impudence was calculated to im-
pose on men -sensible enough inregard to
the ordinary affairs of life. The question
has been solved satisfactorily, whether
there really is such a thing as Guilt, and
whether all malefactors are not poor de-
luded beings, worthy of universal com-
passion. Brady certainly made the best
of his case, but his reputation has not
been bencfitted by the affair, as a whole.
Th? attempt to clear Huntington was too
manifestly defiant of all justice and com-
mon sense. So Huntington liasa chance
to try. his nimble finger at stone—cutting
for 0. few years ; while Baker, after two
trials and wearisome suspense and con-
finement, walks out with light heart and
step, from his prison doors.
An occasion of great interest in Brook-
lyn, this week, was the presentation of a
testimonial to a gentleman who rendered
valuable gratuitous service to the sick,
during the yellow fever season. Mayor
Hall received a valuable house and lot,
in a -very pleasant part of the city, just
back of the fine building known as the
“ Packer Institute.” Mayor Hall, though
not re-elected to the oilice he holds, is
universally beloved and esteemed by
the people of Brooklyn, among whom
most of his life has been passed. A splen-
did service of silver was presented to John
Cainmeyer, whose labors at Fort Hamil-
ton are gratefully remembered,

Huntington the Forget.
'l.‘lic counsel for Clmrlos B. l{untiiig-
ton, on trial in New York, for forgery,
made quite a plausible theory of dcfem-o,
on the ground that Huiitiiigton was in-
sane; had been from childhood of un-
sound mind, as proved by numerous ec-
centric and ill-judged operations ; and
that his disease had, within a ‘ twelve-
month, developed into actual insanity.——
He had been unfortunate, of course, with
such a mind, in all his previous efforts ;
but in the summer of 1855 he suddenly
changed in his demeanor from the depths
of despondency in which he had been
previously sunk, and became gay and
cheerful—-—told his wife his business had
taken afavorable turn; a Mr. Belden
had helped him into business. He fitted
up an elegant house in elegant style, and
surprised his wife by inducting her into
the palatial mansion. He lavished mou-
ey on horses, on jewels, on silver-plate, on
everything that could please a madman’s
fancy. He lived like an extravagant na-
bob. His counsel says :
And whence came all this splendor ?
It came in part directly and in part
through the agency of Chas. Belden-
and when I speak of Charles Belden I
also speak of Harbeck ; for Belden is
the older man, he is a kind of a father to
Harbeck ; they occupy the same ofiice,
they are bound together by the closest
ties of relationship and by the closest pe-
cuniary ties, and when I speak of the
character of Belden I strike through him
and reach Harbeck——and it is fitting that
you should be here informed that Charles
Belden knew Charles Huntington through
his entire career in Wall street. And
we think we shall be able to show that
Charles Belden knew that Charles B.
Huntington hadnot only been connected
with prior forgeries to a considerable ex-
tent, but also knew, or had reason to b
lieve, that his penchant for the commi
sion of that species of crime still clung to
him, and that he was still engaged in its
practice. It was Charles Belden who
persuaded Huntington not to go to Cali-
fornia the second time. It was Charles
Belden who purposely or unwittingly, I
don’t care which, held out to Huntington
the temptation to commence and to fol-
low up the commission of the series of
forgeries with which he now stands charg-
ed. It was Charles Belden who whetted
Huntington’s diseased appetite for show
and splendor, by invitations to dine in
company with his wealthy acquaintances,
and by familiarly patting him upon the
shoulder, as a kind of pet, and smiling
with approval upon his mad career of ex-
travagance and prodigality. This Charles
Belden. we believe we shall be able to
show, knew that this poor being, who
had no moneyed friend or pecuniary facil-
ities so shortly before, had kept an ac-
count in the Bank of the Republic, with
deposits for a period of only five months
prior to his arrest, amounting in the ag-
gregate, and upon the average to the en-
ormous sum of over one million per month.
Mark, a total of five millions in fiive
months l l ! And he knew too that Hun-
tington kept very heavy accounts in sev-
eral other Banks, and he either knew or
might have known that Huntington had
built up this large business, and was en-
abled to handle these unwieldy sums
through the instrumentality of forged or
fictitious securities, which, as near as
we can ascertain by a tolerably accurate
computation,. based upon the frequent
renewals of his loans on wide niarigins,
must have reached during the year in
which he followed these practices to the
staggering amount of nearly twenty mil-
lions l Why, gentlemen, he persuaded
Huntington to take into his employment,
ostensibly as a clerk, but in reallity as
a spy over his conduct, a man named
Barker, who was then one of Be1den’s
attachees and is one of his relatives. We
shall show you that the idea, that Charles
Belden knew of these forgeries, is not so
monstrous as the fact that he did, Here
we take our stand and we sweepingly de-
clare that he did know it. Huntington
was so incautious that on a number of oc-
casions he left forged commercial paper
in the hands of Belden until it was past
due, and Belden, knowing it to be forged,
has brought it to Huntington to be paid,
and no questions asked or explanations
made. The circumstances which led to
Huntington’s detection, were purely lac-
cidental, and the discovery was made as
much through want of caution on the
part of Belden as on the part of Hunting-
ton.
I can hear you ask, and I can hear
the prosecution argue,—How came Bel-
to be such a heavy looser? The answer
is two-fold. In the first place, he is no-
toriously known, and he is, in fact, the
most notoriously inexorable, aggraiidiziiig,
grasping nsurer among us. And he is
equally as well known to be as gentleman-
ly, as accomplished, as scientific, as cuii-
ning, and as apparently decent, with it all,
as any graduate in the school of money
lenders ever know.
One hundred per cent, per annum is a
rate with which he is familiar, and the
defendant here has often paid him more
than that, on what purported to be the
very securities. And if Charles Belden
is permitted to go oiiuncliecked, Ishould
not be surprised’ to learn of his holding
out his hand for “eight per cent per min-
ute,” which is a rate now and then jest-
ingly alluded to in Wall-street until it has
become a by-word among the initiated
there. Therefore, I say, in the first
place, as an answer to your inquiry, that
this nsurer became as reckless in his gains
as Huntington was reckless. He became
blinded in his avariciousness and cupidity,
and the evil day came upon him before
he had perfected his preparations to meet
it. In the second place, he supposed he
had opened avenues of escape. Know-
ing that Huntington was meagerly sup-
plied with moneyed friends and financial
facilities, he took occasion, at an early
day, to introduce and commend him, in
lofty terms, to several banks bankers and
money lenders, and he hoped to be able
to strip from Huntington, out of the
means which he should obtain in‘ those
quarters, not only suilicient to reimburse
himself, but sulficient to choke his own
ca acions coffers. And it may be a sat-
is action to these other heavy loosers to
know the greatest cause to which they
can trace and attribute their losses.
Gentlemen, let us look at the half mil-
lion now remaining out of the twenty mil-
lions of the forged paper to which I have
alluded. I wish I had it all here, that
you might see it——it would fill a basket of
respectable size. He forged it, too, oc-
cupying the identical chair which the
g‘reat"r'ai.1r‘oadf.9rge.r. Robert Scuyler. oc-
cupied. 'We shall‘ be ‘able to shpw you
that som of this paper bore fictitious
iiames——- at it bore the names of high and
low, from the errand.-boy in his office. to
his poor lawyers, and from them up to
your merchant princes. To use the slang
phrases of the Brokers, it ranged from
“sore noses” up to “gilt edges.” We
shall show you that the signatures were
written without any attempt at imitation.
And that the whole of it was so huiigled,
and tliat lll(.‘l'(_‘ was such a similarity in the
litl1ogi':iplii<: llllllllis, that it is womlerful
how any hum of sense could credit them
for an lllSi1llll.. \Ve slmll show you tliul.
he signed the nmiies of firms with l'i'cquent
lll'.1(:clll‘aCy—— soinetiiiies leaving out a
iianie, and sometimes putting in an extra
name. and sonic-times reversing the order
of the uanics. \Vc shall show you that
in the course of his career of forgery he
has fi'equcnt signed names liimelf when
he might liave obtained the genuine sig-
natures by simply asking for them. VVe
shall show you that he has raised mon-
nies on forged securities at the usuri-
ousrate of sixty per cent. Per annum,
and even at greater rates. and has lent
out such moneys himself at the rate of
only eighteen per cent., and even at le-
gal rates. \Ve shall show you that
he has raised moneys on forged paper at
an enormous rate, and has purchased
large amounts of genuine paper at nine
per cent, per annum ; and that the next
day or very soon after purchasing sucli
genuine paper, he has in some instances,
sold it at a discount double that rate,
at which he bought ; and we shall show
you that he raised monies on forged pa-
per at the like enormous rates, and after
investing it in unsaleable stocks and other
securities at full prices, he at once bor-
rowed moneys on such new securities at
the same ruinous interest ; and that du-
ring all these transactions he kept no
books or entries from which the state of
his affairs or the character or extent of his
dealings could be ascertained with any
approach to accuracy.
From the time the mistaken prosperity
of the defendant commenced, something
over a year ago, he has slept, and still
continues to sleep, sweetly. With such
a weight of guilt as is here charged on
him, no man, able to distinguish between
the right and the wrong of such deeds,
could fail to stagger beneath the enormi-
ty of such crime. He would toss him on
his bed, wakefully, under a troubled con-
science, and would turn him on his pil-
low, and groan heavily from a heart cram-
med with remorse. But he slep sweetly,
awoke cheerily, and pursued his business,
and followed his pleasures without a
thought of guilt.
We say that he acted under the influ-
ence of that insanity which is commonly
called MONOMANIA ;.that in the particular
act charged he was affected by a morbid
condition of the mind which excuses him
from criminal responsibility. This is ex-
hibited in his reckless and incautious habit
of forgery without any actual or same de-
sign to clefriiucl or injure, without any of
the ordinary cautions adopted for con-
cealment. The motive being exclusively
the insane impulse, and the object that of
acquiring large amounts of money with-
out regard for their value. The defen-
dant always supposed that he could, and
intended that he would, meet his obliga-
tions and accumulate wealth ; but his
acts, without being aware of it, necessa-
rily prevented either bf these results.

feel much pleasure in stating that from its prompt and
decisive effect in alleviating and overcoming a severe
