SIPlnD9pApO
EDWARDsylLLE, APRIL 26, 1925.


The editor of the Kaskaskia paper requests
US TO state, as justification of his adhesion,
(Which, however, needs no excuse,) that Mr..
Adams requested Mr.. Crawford to continue
in the Treasury Department.
We understand that there never has been
any difference Of personal character between
those two gentlemen and as the Secretary OF
the Navy and Attorney General were retained
in their respective Offices, it would have been
mark of pointed disrespect, if not an affront,
not to have made Mr.. Crawford the sane of
fer. Mr.. Adams must have known, moreover,
that Mr.. Crawford could have no inducemeit
hereafter to mslnanage the public funds for,
at the moment of the termination of the Presi
dental Question, on the 9th of February last,
he was politically dead, as the rallying point of
faction.
Not to offer to retain Mr.. Crawford in the
Treasury Department, would have been viz
tualy to turn him out Of Office ; and this would
have been inconsistent with the declaration of
Mr.. Adams last summer, in his joint letter with
Messrs. Calhoun and MIean, that he would
do no act, as public servant, which could be
construed to PREJUDICE the case of Mcssrs
Crawford and Edwards, before it had been
finally acted upon by the Ho use OF Representa-
tves.
1t may as well be inferred that the Presi-
dents offer to re fin i,r. Crawford in the
Treasury, was for the purpose Of keeping him
there, to prevent his escape from impeach-
ment, as that sentence of condemnation was
meant, thereby, to be passed upon Coy. Ed
wards, as suggested by the paper above re.
ferred to.

DESHA'S TRIAL.

AT the late March term of the Harri-
son Circuit Court, the whole OF the first
week was consumed, and but two jury
men obtained, who had not previously
made up their opinions in the case; the
trial OF Desha has therefore been CONT
nued until the next term, without the
least expectation of obtaining jury in
that county, at any future period.

rather argument, OF Judge M'koberis, To
show that the Legislature has not the
right to remit fine or penalty winch has
accrued 10 the people of a county. Ii
not having been the practice ia this
state to publish in the newspapers, Ju-
dicial decisions OF the Circuit Court
THIS being the first that ever was thus
puhilsned-'be inqulry naturally arises
why has his opinion been so pompously
given 10 the world? Was ii thus exhi-
oiied crafty the vanity of our young
Judge; or was ii intended TO iniure or
oenehl any particular person, or crafty
political or personal hostility |; or could
II have been believed that it would have
The effect of reconciiing the ci,izens OF
tbe county to the dismissed of Mr.. Con
way, and The appointments of MIR. West,
as clerk of the Court! Leaving evet,

LEGATION, l shall proceed to make a few
remarks on some Of the prominent points
IN This novel and extraordinary opinion.
Alter most dligent and strict ex.
animation into the numerous authors
who have written, on elementary law,
on The laws OF nations, on the principles
OF common law, on the municipal laws,
and reports OF the various decisions 10
the courts, oil England, Of the United
States, and respective states of our
Union, the indelatigable Judge is unable
10 find case at all analogous to the one
under conslderalion--and this for The
simplest OF ali reasons, no one ever before
doubted the power of the Legislature in
such case. The leaned Judge quotes
much law, but not title OF il applies 0
the case. All his Quola,iansi from Black
stone, from Coke, from PoGandorf, and
from host OF other great characters, have
relation TO fines which accrue and by law
become vested in individuals. Even in
"Ao iuo'oS'oHo3 INhCo dS lnCY nave OcCn,
1t is admitted that fine coming to the
KING, as they say in England, or ss VI
say, to the people, for they are the sove-
reigns in this country, can be RENTED by
the government; but the profound Judge
could not in all his researches find case
where it had been decided that the sove-
reign authority Of the land could no, re-
NIT fine accruing to the people Of
county. And can any one be so credu-
lous as TO believe, that if the question
were at all doubtful it would not long
since havs been decided; especially when
we. reject, that much the greater portion
of fines, penalties, anil forteitures, both in
England and this country, are by law
vested in the people of the respective
coIn les, and not in The people of the state.
This is particularly the case in Illinois,
where there never was one cent from
these sources paid into the state treasury;
and where it has ever been the practice,
