of Col. F. St. John Lockwood to the Presi-
dency, vice Charles Isaaes resigned, was con:
summated by a unanimous vote of the Di-

resultwas duly indicated by, us some time
since, as likely to occur. A few anxio'us per-

under its present management it ,doesr not

its days of usefulness be continued in hon-

This evening, Rev. Homer Dunning, of
the Congregational Church, delivers the
fifth lecture in the South Norwalk Y. M. C.
A. Course,~at Ely’s Hall: His subject is the
English Language, its origin, history and
characteristics,-'-a subject of very general
interest, and we have no doubt that the lee-
ture will prove instructive as well as enter-
taining. This lecture was first announced
for,We/dncsday evening, but was obligingly
changed in order to accommodate the up-
town 'Associationj—because Nasby could be
obtained only on that evening—and so that
the two lectures should not conilict.
On Wednesday evening, Rev. Mr. Nasby,
the genial humorist, whose writings have
created a greater sensation in the political
world than even those of the famous Ma-
jor Jack Downing, appears on the platform
at Lockwood’s Hall, under the auspices of
our Y. M: C. A., to deliver his .celebrated
lecture “Cursed be Canaan”. We have not
personally listened to this lecture, but we
have heard it very highly commended by
those who have had that pleasure. Boston
is noted for its first-class courses of lectures;
none but the best are ever applauded there,
enthusiasm meet there with" a cool recep.
tion. We have the authority of Mr. Wen-
dell Phillips for stating that NASBv’s was
one of the most successful lectures delivered
in that city the present season, and that it
gave excellent satisfaction. Mia's Anna
Dickinson also speaks very highly of the
lecture, which she heard in Boston and with
which she was very much pleased. We pre-
dict that the lecture here will be largely at-
tended, atthe same time we would remind
all that the Hall will comfortably accommo-
date a larger nmnber-than is often. brought
together at a lecture in this vicinity, and
that consequently there will undoubtedly be
room for all who may apply for admission.
Thisis an extra lecture and all persons have
an equal chance in procuring reserved seats,
fOr which there is no charge,—first come,
first serve. _

WThe statistics of the traffic over the
Atlantic telegraph cables since their com-
pletiOn have been published. They convin-
cingly demonstrate the good effect of the
policy of low charges in increasing business,
and finally increasing profits. From July
28 to Oct. 31, 1866, under the £20 tariff, the
amount received from the cables per day
was, on an average, £505, and the number
of messages averaged 29. The tariff was
reduced to £10 on Nov. 1, 1866, and for the
succeeding thirteen months the daily aver-
age of messages was 64, producing an.
average daily income of £579. On Dec. 1,
per message, and the traflie rose to 131 mes-
sages, yielding £685 per day. Then came
the reduction of last September to £3 73 6d.
under which, in three months, the average
daily number of messages has so‘far been
201, and the income for the month of Nov.
has been £670 per day. Liberality is thus
shown to be true economy, in telegraphing
as'in every other new business. '
We are entirely confident that we're our,
local telegraph lines to reduce their tariffs to
ten cents for each ten words, they would
find a net result of" more money in their
treasury. The same principle applies to
railroads. Were the New York A: New Ha-
ven Railroad-to reduce its fares to two cents
smile, we are positive it would be able to
tariffs and cheap fares do the business and
carry the multitude. Take any one of the
leading New York newspapers as an exam-'
ple. They contain in every number the
reading matter of an ordinary book. Were
they charged for at book rates their circula-
tion would be limited to hundredsinstead of
going up to the of score thousands as new.

CONFERENCE BETWEEN THE PRESIDENT AND
, rm: commas. '
A large number of Gentlemen, represent-
ing the commuters residing along the line
of the, N ew-York and New-Haven Railroad,
assembled at the Company’s office, corner,
of Fourth ave. and Twenty-seventh st., .to'
meet Mr. W. D. Bishop, President of the
road, and, talk matters over. Mr. Bishop
had issued a circular inviting the commu-
ters of each town to meet and appoint three
delegates, to assemble for the purpose of
concerting action with the ofilcers of the
road to guard ugaints. frauds, and remedy,
.in so far as might, the imperfections of the
present'system. This call appears to have
been very generally responded to, the fol-
lowing named delegates having been ap—
pointed from twelve towns :
From Mount Vernon, W. A. Seaver, Ed-
ward Martin, G. Reynard ; New-Rochelle,
I. F. Harrison, R. C. Fisher, Richard Em—,
met ; Mamaroneck, Thomas Rushmore, W.
Cornell, W. Stetes ; Poi-tchcstor, Henry A.

Theodore W. Downes ; Slratford, R. D.
McEwen, T. B. Fairchild, G. H. Spali ; Mil-
ford, H. V. Pinner, N. G. Pond,'J. F. Hayes.
ifi‘he, abdve list includes all the towns
aIOng the line of the road except Newg-Ha-
ven, Fah'ficld, Westport and Orange.
The meeting was called to ol'der by‘ Mr.
Bishop. Mr. W. A. Seaver of Mount Ver-
rnon, was elected a!“ presiding officer, and
Mr. A. H.-Byington,'Secretary.
' Mr. Bishop, in responeeto an inquiry as
to the object of the meeting said that there
were two methods of meeting the difficul-
ties with which the,' commutation system
was attended. The firstwasyfor the com-
muter to be always readyfeither to produce
his ticket or pay hint-lire. The Company
had now on hand a suit‘b'rnght hy_.n. gen-
tleman to recover 55 Cents ‘_which he had
been compelled to pay for a passage on the
first of the month, having left his commuta-
tion ticket at home. Mr. Bishop then ex-
plained at length-the new system‘of tickets
and coupons which the Company has in
contemplation. Gentlemen were to carry a
small book,.furnished with coupons suflic-
ient to last for a defined period, and to pre-
sent this to the conductor to tear off one ev-
ery time they rode in the cars. The system
he said, was complicated by the necesity
which the New Haven Company were un-
der of settling with the 'Harlem for every
passenger carried out of the city.
Mr. Harrison of New-Rochelle thought
the present system _would workiif' tickets
were shown more frequently. This the
commuters would be willing to do. '
A resolution was passed raising a sub
Committee ofone'from each station repre-
sented to confer with the officers of the road
andreport result of their conference at a
meeting to be held a week hence. The fol-
lowing were appointed on the Committee :
William A. Seaver, Mount Vernon ; R.
C. Fisher, New-Rochelle ;‘ Thomas Rush-
more, Mama'roneck ; Joseph Park, jr., Rye;
Henry A. Kelley, Portchester ; Henry M.
Befiedi‘et, Greenwich ; A.‘ M. Brush, Cos-
cob i George A. Hoyt, Stamford; Dr. Bal-
lard, Darien ; Dudley P. Ely, Norwalk; J.
M. Pinkncy, Westport; E. S. Sherman,
Southport ; George Mallory, Bridgeport ;' R.
D. McEwen, Stralford; II. V. Pinner, Mil-
ford. .
The following resolution was submitted
by Dr. Ballard. ‘
Resolved, That a sub-committee of one from
each town represented be empowered to
consult with the managers of the Company,
and to agree to such modifications, as may
seem most advantageous to both parties,
or failing to agree upon an equitable adjust-
ment, it shall e their duty to 'call a meeting
of the full committees and refer the matter
to them for’further consideration.
After considerable discussion this was tau
bled, there being a decided unwillingness to
allow the sub-committee to Close the. nego-
tiations, so the meeting adjourned to recon-
vene a week hence, at'same hour and place.
The upshot of the whole thing vg‘ll undoubt-
edlybe an adopticn of the system demand-
ed by the Vanderbilt interest, and one which
has been so conspicuously successful in
driving New York business men away from
the Harlem & Hudson River roads over in-
to New Jersey to live ; but we shall see
what we shall ace.

ether, eiéry one of you bath a psalm, bath a doctrine,
ath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpreta-
tion."—St. Paul. .
Msssns. Emsons:—Agreeable to my last. I now
proceed to give my views, with reference to the words
of St. Paul, the. true import of which, involve the
real point at issue between myself and my Esteemed
friend B. And waving all pleasantry, and all attempts
at wittlclsm, I address myself seberly and earnestly
to the, perhaps, somewhat dilIlcult task' of their solu-
tion. To my mind. their literal construction, in-
volves so many difficulties, and antagonize the facts
of scriptures s'o sharply, that it is simply out of the
question that Paul could mean what Brother B. in-
sists he does mean. . .
When the clearjactaof scripture are placed before
us in an incontrovertable manner, as they are with
respect to the public exercise of spiritual gifts by we-
man, we shdnld be slow to draw conclusions fi'om» ins
eldental and detached portions of the sacred record,
which directly militate against them. For ogii'well
attested fact is worth volumes of speculative thiilogy.
And more dogmatlsm is not to stand in their way for
a single moment. .
Now it is afoot that woman his been endowed with
the Gift of Prophecy. And that she has publicly ex-
ercised this gift, with God’s approval, both under the
Old and New Dispensation. And that in the exercise
of such a function, she has been recognized by the
great head of the church, and by his more immediate
followers. And it is likewise a fact that the Prophet
Joel, as quoted by St. Peter on the day of Pentecost
makes the possessibnof this gift by woman a special-
ity of the “last days.” It is also clue: that the “gifts
of the spirl ” are for all, and that God is “no respec-
ger of persons," and that all are exhorted to “covet
earnestly the best gifts," to “desire spiritual gifts, but
rather that ye may prophesy," We think it also to be
a fact, susceptible of incontestible proof, that what-
ever ls implied in the “gifts,” they are the same,
whether conferred on male or female. _
Such being the ease. let me ask the question, are
we justified in construing the Words of Paul, so as to
put a seal on women's lips and render the possession
of such gifts nugatory and worthless 'l Ought we not
the rather feel that it were far better to confess our
inability and incompetence to explain them at all,
than to give them a construction that runs directly in
the face of the great current of serlpturefsct and tea-
timony and the whole analogy of faith. Seeing then,
that the literal enforcement of these words involve
such weighty objections, we look again for a solution
more in harmony with the facts and general tenor of
gospel truth and practice.’ Come we then to the first
passage under consideration. 1 ‘
“Let your women keep silence in the churches, for
it is not permitted unto them to speak.;_ but they are
commanded to be under obedience, as saith the law.
And if they will learn anything let them ask their
husbands at home; for- it is a shame for a woman to
speak in church." .
These passages taken in connection with the scope
of this cplstle, clearly ‘show- that some meat glaring
abuses, and much disorderly conduct had become
manifest in the Corinthian church, and that, notwith-
standing the extraordinary gifts of the spirit which
they had received, they had nevertheless required the
severe rebukes, the pointed admonition, and the varied
interaction of this great apostle. They were quarrel-
ing about theirministers, saying, “I am for Paul,” “I
am for Apollos,” “I am for Cephas," are, They were
going to law with each other, “and that before the
unbelievers." They allowed the most glaring crimes
and ineonsistences among them. They wrangled about
the “gifts of the spirit," even miraculous gifts, and
were involved in great confusion as to their exercise.
They had misapprehended the nature of the Lord’s
Supper. They were conscience stricken about eating
meats offered to idols. They were tangled and troub-
led about their domestic relatlons, and, in short, were
in a comparatively chaotic condition when Paul ”ad-
dressed to them his epistle from whence these
words are taken. And the circumstances of this
church taken together, do not allow us to doubt but
that the words above quoted were intended to correct
some special and peculiar mischiet which had broken
out among them. And it was to reprove some un-
seemly practicé which had {been introduced into the
Corinthian church, and which, in fact, seems to have
been peculiarto this church, perhaps in connection
with the exercise of the gift of prophecy, that Paul
says, “we have no such custom neither the churches of
God," i. e. the other churches of God.- The irregu-
larity complained of Vvas not the prophesying of
women, for this, he admits, and directed how the we-
men shall appear, when engaged in theduty of pray-
ing and prophesying. But it was evidently to restrain
women from taking part in those disorderly debates,
unusual in those days, and which were allowed to the
men in the discussions of the Synagogue. '
It is evident also that whatever the special reproof
was intended for, it involved insubordlnatt'on. This
appears from Paul’s words, z'Ilut they are commanded
to be under obedience, as saith the law." It was there-
fore, diaobedz’énce and insubordfnation and improper
questionings, and not the exercise of spiritual gift!»
which is here put under the apostolic ban.
This view gives us consistency and harmony and
still allows woman the noble privilege of speakh‘ng
other, and no one who reads this epistle carefully can
doubt there was much confusion in:th'eir public as-
semblies, by reason of different persons speaking at
the same time. But while he does not disparage the
gifts, he shows how they should be used ior'the edi-
ficalion of the church. For he says‘ "I would that ye
all spoke with tongues, but rather that ye prophesied:
for greater is he that prophesleth than he that speak-
eth with tongues, except he interpret, that the church
may receive edification.” Now it is clear that woman
did prophesy, and that in so doing she spoke to “e61:
fication, exhortation and comfort,” and of course she
was not exposed to the sharp rebuke of the apostle.
For the whole force of his reproof must fall on those
who were the authors of the confusion. And beside,
ets,” and are therefore not amenable to such rebuke.
“For (he says) ye may all prophesy one by one, that
all may learn, and all may be comforted,” “For God
is not the author of confusion.” And Paul who was
made a minister of the spirit, could not be so narrow
in sentiment as to exclude women when he save, “ye
may all prophesy.” If so, he would be .far behind
Moses, who was only a minisger of'the 1:910. for
wanruasnarame afid’told Moses that Eldad and
Medad prophesied in the camp, and desired Moses to
forbid them, Moses said unto him, “cnviest thou for
my sake ‘l whould God that all the Lord’s people
were prophets, and that he would put his spirit upon
them." Now certainly “all the Lord’s people” must
include all the Miriam’s and Deborah’s in the camp,
as well as the Eldad’s and Mcdad’s. Thus Moses, be-
ing a great prophet, only anticipated the dispensa-
tion of the Spirit, which Joel so emphatically pre-
dicts, and which was fully realized on the day of
Pentecost, and which: was manifest at this time.
That these Corinthian christians had not a knowl-
edge of all these languages is clear ‘from Paul's
words, "I speak with tongues moie than ye all.”
How reasonable is it then to conclude that there
were a few inquisitive women in the assembly, who,
not understanding what was said, but prompted by
curiosity, might feel‘inclined to ask questions to the
interruption of the speaker and the auditory, and
thus annoy the whole company of believers.
Therefore the Apostle gives this admonition, "let
your women (that is wives) keep silence. and if they
will learn any-thing, let them ask their husbands at
home." And do not these very Words show that the
prohibition was not a general one, but that it relates
simply to asking questions ‘2 And the whole purport
of Paula words may be satisfied with the simple mp-
position, that in the Corrintblan Church, there were
the Assembly by asking (perhapsp‘mportfnent andim-
proper questions. For what has woman’s prophesying
to do with asking questions of their husbands at
home ? And while theyspoke to “ ediflcation, ex.
hortation and comfort,” how could this confuse 01'
disturb the Assembly 7 Surely such women were
not prohibited utterance by Paul. They do not come
within the category of those whom the Apostle re-
proves, who were evidently a class, that indulged in
captions questionfngs, whispering and chattering oth-
erwise it would be a prohibition against praying, as
well as preaching. For how could women pray in
the Christian Assembly, if it were a “ shame to them
to speak in the church '2” With respect to the words
in first Tim. 11.12, mv friend 13. has supplied me with
an excellent comment, and one also adopted by
Rev. Dr. Taft, which seems to answer my purpose'
sufficiently well, to wit. “ I sufi'er not a Woman to
teach, ffslw usurps authority over the man." This
construction admits, of an easy solution of all the dif.
tlculties, and involves no controversy, so far as I am
concerned. It only remains for Bro. B. to reconcile
this with his lftcmla'mi, or to prove, that any woman
who speaks in public, necessarily usurps authority
over the man."
If then, Paul simply objected to that kind of teach-
ing on the part of women, involving usurpation,
there is no authority here for silencing the gift of
prophecy in women; and if she may prophesy she
may teach. Nay more, she must teach, even though
we confine the use of this glft to the foretelling of fa-,
tare events, which by the way we do not. If Priscil.
la “expounded the way of God” to Apollos, also
taught Apollos. There is no escape from this. We
regard the gift of prophecy as involving the functions
of the ministry, and in the evangelical sense, uby
no means limited to'thc prediction of future events.
In Nehemiah 6th and 7th it is said. than hath 'also ap-
pointed prophets to preach of thee," dzc. Prayer is
also a hmetidn of a prophet. For in Gen. xx:'l, it is
sold “For he ls a prophet and he shall pray for thee."
It is also the function of a public speakér. In Exo?
dus vii :1, 9, it is held, “Aaron thy brother shall be
thy prophet, ' ' ' and Aaron thy brother shall
speak unto Pharaoh." It also includes public cohor-
mm. For in Actsxyzas it is said “Judas and Silas
being prophets, calibrted the brethren with many
words.” '
Precisely the same function was exercised by Anna
, the p ophetcss, as recorded by Luke 11:38, “who
spoke of Christ to all who looked for redemption in
in Israel.” And new, in the exercise of these gifts,
the only distinction marked by the apostle between
the sexes was that the man should speak with his
head uncovered and the woman with her head covet-ed.
It was the, custom among the Gi‘heks and Romans,
and among, the Jews an express law, that no woman,
should be seen abroad without avail. Andi! she
thus appeparcd, she was thought to dishonor her
head—her husband—and to be faithless to 'the math,
riage contract. And this custom is still adhered too, .
as my Brother B. well knows, throughout the East,
But what would be thought of the christian minister
at the present day who would peremptorlly insist

ticeilr, that thidictstesofeommcn sense tell them
that-it was merely an enjoinment of temporary ex-

can have no force at the present time. And yet there
exists this glaring inconsistency that multitudes of
good men insist that women shall not speak in the
church, yet paying no attention to the custom of :0-
ing unveiled, and others of like character. It .cer-
tainly looks to me like “tythlng mint and souls and
cummin”'-or in other words like “straining at a
gust and swaliowlng a camel." We therefore have a
right and must lnslst that those who are such stick-
lars for the one mtist maintain the other. For we
cannot alert! to. give them the advantage of objecting .
to woman’s right to speak or pray in public, under
the assumed amount: of Paul, while they utterly lg-
not. his teaching in other respect s. For example, “Sc.
lute one another villus Holy Has." Does Br. B. do this?
According to this doctrine, what right. ID"! you ii“
any woman to appear in public unveiled I Yet even
Bro. B. does not regard this as a matter of any im-
portance. And practically, I know he does not in-
slst upon it.
To conclude then, with this part of our subject, we
Say. you might as well insist, that kingly rights and
PYBI'OngVcl, and a monsrchiesl form of government
was only in accordance with the scriptures, because
Paul says, “honor the King.” (What shall we (do,
who have no king to honor 7) as to insist on the ab-
absolute silence of our women in the churches, be-
cause he says, f‘lt is a shame for a woman to speak in
the church.” '
All, Bro. B. It is the “ letter that klllcth, butghe
Spirit glveth giveth life." He that hath an ear, let
him hear, ulna: the spirit saith unto the churches."
And now to the Questions of my Friend, “Ifit be
the right aod privilege of women to speak and teach,
in the Chrlstiarf assembly, why did not the master ai-
low it by commissioning the Mary’s, or Joanna. or
Susanna or other women," doc. I frankly answer, I
cannot tell any more than I can tell why he scleoted
those he did, in preference to thousands of others,
whom he did not choose. Or why be selected the
,Jews, ashis peculiar people, rather than any of the
surrounding nations. Or why he selected Deborah
the Phropheteas' to “ Judge bred,” and to lead the‘
host to battle when there were plenty of own in Israel
at the time. Or why, when there was .s famine in the
land and “many widows in Israel” he should send the
old Prophet to a woman 'of another country, or a
thousand other things. But perhaps it maybe {air to
presume that apediancy had something to do with it,
Just as Paul deemed a life of celibacy for him most ex;
pedient, and my Br. B. for himself, does not. “All
things are awfulli'or me (says Paul) but all things are
not etpedient." But again he asks, why has Christ
left all his churches so much in darkness about we:
mans rights, that the women have never been ordain-
ed bishops, elders, pastors. he." And what does he
mean by “to." Does he mean descent and deacon-
um I Ile knows that such were ordained in the
apostolic age and for along time subsequent. And
the records of the early (post-apostolic) church show
that women did ofilciate as teachers, and .were recog-
nized as possessing and publicly using the “gifts of
the spirit.” And in more modern times some chris-
tian churches have ordained women to fill the ofllce of
4 pastors and teachers, as witness the Quakers and
some cesarean-man. churches of thc'prcsent day. '
But doubtless the same reasons obtain new, as in the
other case. based on the principle of expediency.
But further. It may be for the same reason that
the churches are left so much in the dark as to the spe-
ciflc form of church government, or as teaching the
precise mode of Christian Baptism and many other
things. Is there anything said inthe scriptures about
administering the sacrament of the Lord’s Supper to
woman distinctively ‘1 Does Brother B. allow it 'I
But finally, “116w about the truly great and noble
Methodist church ‘2” We only wish for space here,
that we might respond at length to these questions.
One great peculiarity of the Methodist system is, and
to a great extent this is the seeret of their success, that
they press into the service of the church, alltha avail-
able talent, and every variety of spiritual gift that
they can control. As the great and good Dr. Chal-
mers once said, “They are all at it, and always at it."
Would God this was more true. John Wesley conquor-
ed his prejudices and then employed Lay-Helpers both
male and female. I have not even space here for the
long roll of illustrious feiiiale names..wh_ich, if given,
would constitute a galaxy of shining ones who have
thrown a moral radiance on Our spiritual flrmament
for a hundred years. The glory of whose beautiful
examples, shine with increasing efihlgenee as time
rolls on. Think of some of them—Miss Peroiet, Miss ‘
Bosanquet, afterward the wife and companion of the
saluted Fletcher, and for many years a successful
preacher of the Gospel. Also, Lady Huntington, Mrs.
Hester Ann'Rogers, and a- host of others. John Woo-
ley had a mother—a truly wonderful woman—she too,
was a “preacher of righteousness,” not a dumb auto-
maton doomed to silence, nor yet a “dumb dog that
would not bark." In the absence of her husband who
was Rector of Epworth, she gathered her neighbors
in the vicarage house at Epworth, on Sunday evenings
as many as'the house" would hold, and- réad to them
prayers and sermons, and “expounded unto them
the way of God.” Of this admirablelady the learned
Dr. Adam Clarke says, “she had a strong and vigor-
ous mind, an undannted courage, and feared he did!-
culty in search of truth. She was not only graceful,
but beautiful in person. As a christian, modest, hum-
ble, pious. Her religion was rational, as it was scrip-
tural and profound. Her filth carried her through
life. and remained unimpaired in death. She was a
tender mother, and invaluable friend. And if. it were
not unusual to apply such an epithet to woman, I
should not hesitate t6 say she was an able divine."
And yet she was the wife of ominister _of the estab-
lishment, and (if my memory serves me correctly) the
mother of twelve children. And if my good Brother
B. has ever read the history of the Wesley family, he.
need not be told that she did not neglect her domestic
duties, but was “in labours more abundant.” Such,
then, was the mother of the Wesleys, and such the pe-
uliar influences that helped to mould the“truly great
and noble Mektodiat church.” So, then, “my true
yoke-fellow, help ” ouch women, and I will help you in
“every good word audflfl‘ki’. . _ .. .. .. . A. qu.

Masses. EDIToxfil—If. is an universal custom to re-
serve‘declsiOns until they hear both sides of a ques-
tion, least a hurried conclusion might do injustice to
some party or parties concerned. ‘ ‘
It is with the idea of correcting some statements,
which gained publicity through the columns of your
paper, that I write this letter to you, knowh that
- the issues of an honorable press can be devoted to no
'better cause than that of rigid, uuprejudiced justice. ‘
I do not believe that the press was ever instituted as
a medium to fortress crime and curtain infamy beyond
the attacks and executions of an outraged community.
I cannot‘belleve that within the borders of educated
New England such an institution could long exist, and
less do I believe that the second oldest paper in the
State would for a moment tolerate such a proceeding.
In your issue of Tuesday last, (Dec. 29th), your cer-
respondent gives some account of an interesting af-
fair which took place in this town Just as‘the Christ-
mas festivities hld reached their climax. ‘ It was a'
sorry catastrophe indeed with which to usher in ajoy-
one day., It was a pistol afl'ray in which, according to
your columns, although several shots were fired, no.
body was hurt, yet strange to say the prisoner when
arrested was suffering from a pistol shot in the hand.
Your correspondent is unobserving; he did not dis-
cover this essential fact. ' , '
The examination took place on Christmas morning,
The'prisoner, an ignorant man, and poor, unable to
read or write, did not. enjoy the luxury, which was
only accorded to the plaintim—a counsel: yet the
plaintiff employed a men well known asan «Number
of the bar, to conduct his case and further the ends of
jtutt‘ce. The prisoner, unbefriended, presented his
own case and called his own witnesses, but strange
to say, none of these witnesses appeared, consequent-
ly the prisoner was without aid; the tide was all
against him, he was indicted, and sent to Bridgeport”
jail in default of 61,000 bail. _ ‘
Several knights of the quill immediately flew to their
eanclumeand shortlyatter there appeared lnone of the
New York papers and in the Gazer-re elaborate ac-
counts of the great event, cheering 1the heart of the
down troddeii and abused plaintiff, and congraulating
him On his narrow escape after having four shots fired
at him- It iss little curious that neither of these'
articles notices the fact that the prisoner was shot in
the hand. This is, Justice with 6 kink in it, it looks
like collusion, it don't smack of honest purpose. In-
trigue hides itself Under a secme garb, it always as.
saunas the pose of'lnjured innocence, but it can’t do-
celve an~intelllgcntpeople. To use the prisoner’s own
words “the handle is all one side or the jug.” lie
was not allowed even the privileges con ceeded to the
most detestable villains—a Counsel.
Thepri'sonerwas body-servant to Gen. Phil. Kear-
ney during the war and he has manyfriends who will
see that strict Justice is done his case. Only a few
months will elapse when the time will come for the
court session, and a thorough ventilation of this case
will follow, than all may rest assured that to whom
Justice'ls due he shall receive it. . --
