Editorial Delicacy.-The Hancock Adver-
tiser says that the store of Charles Peters in
Ellsworth (Me.) was broken open on Tuesday
night, and robbed of about $500 worth of broad
cloths and other articles. The thief however,
was heard by some printers who slept in the
story above, who followed the robber and ap-
pretended him. The Advertiser adds" The
delinquent was a young man who hitherto bore
good character, and there are reasons to sup
pose he was deranged, for which cause we
shall not give his name"
And because the rascal was young man of
"family," we suppose, who" had hitherto borne
good character" the Editor is unwilling to
erpose hip-and intmates that he was laboring
under temporary hallucination at the time!-
Derangement has long been popular excuse
| for suicides and murders. If it is to be urged
as an excuse for the preparation ofrobberaes al
so, we think it time that the word was eXpung-
ed from the vocabulares of our Courts Of JUS

The opinion of the supreme court in the

found in this paper. 1t will be perceived that
the decision exierds to those cases only in
which the bills of the bank form the consid-

did uot decide that the bank charter was in
every particular unconstitutional, but SO Ear
only as it authorized, mot by express words
but In effect the emission of "bllls of cred
