Eaton from any Just responsibility = Good as
Counsellor Brlefwit would say. But, in order

saw He charges that Lieut.. Robert B. Rau-
dolph, who vas appointed Purser aztec the
death Of Timherlake, and took possession OF
Is books, money and other effects, appropriated
the latter, amounting to 10 or $4,000, 10 his
personal use, and then mutliaied and DESTROYED
The former. in order To conceal The immense and
sacrilfgious fraud Of winch he was guilty. To
show that Randolph did thus rop Tue dead, Ken
dali throws the facts in his possession into the
most imposing array which it Is possible for
them 10 assume aud with the adroiIness Of an
attorney, employed to c0ncict Randolph, rather

Kendall and il is 20 more than Just thai pubic
opinion should he suspended until h, does 90.
We would advise Amos not to amuse the
public, in his subsequent Reports, with %iaoclful
stories OF Anonymous letters, such as he would
make US believe he received in relation TO he
accounts oil lImberlake, aud "h,ch he uansltrS
80 his Report. Such tnings are II I suitable
embellishments for an Official document, (the,
leere not, at lVast, during the better days Of thr
Repubilc,) even though they be genulne. -
When, %howeter, as IA The present case, they
bear on their face iniuDiia1le eyllaace Of the
mint in which they were forged, and Of ,he
eaSons why they were forged. Il can be viewed
only with deep l%oa'hlng aud hearted, disgust.
