Gen Games addressed the court rs follows" Mr.

BILE to the eve or ear of decency There are others
who are not SO nice--who will publish any thing for
pef There is no fear therefore Of its going with him
to the grave.
Ackley was AZ years of age, was born in Lanca-
shire. England. OF his two children, one we hear
has died since his imprisonment.
Ackley from first to last manifested kind Of brute
obduracy which he never got rid Of The day before
his execution he gave away all his clothes, and
manned in bed until told to arise and dress himself
When the garments in which it is usual to clothe pri
soners to be executed were presented him. he refu
sed TO put them on and the officers were obliged to
dress him by main force Upon being told that the
hour of his execution had arrived he refused to STIR
and said, 81 am too sick to 20 out;' il with
out considerable force that he was led from the apart
ment
When Ackley was first brought to Bellevue, razor
which he had procured was discovered by Mr.. Peter
Ritter, the turnkey, and taken from him. In ths pas
sage, az Ackey was going to execution, he observed
him and said "You are the man who has made me
all this trouble"
Such was the conduct of this unhappy man, who
seems to have manifested no for his sangun
srv deed, and to have betrayed no consciousness
save the aespcable one Of terror at his approaching
end.

The trial of RICHARD H. WHITE, charged with burn ing the Treasury building in March, 1883. commenced Tn the Circuit Court of the United States, at Washing ton, yesterday. But two witnesses, Hicks and Graft have yet been examined Their cross examination says the Intelligeneer "disclosed such combination of talent, ingenuity, and means employed in the perpe traon of criminal offences throughout the country, as very few persons would have believed to exist. The trla so far, has been of great interest," which all that for the present we say about it."

The lace ot the com represents full length figure of Liber y, seated rock, wiih the classic emblem of inc paseas or liberty cap surmourting spear held in the left hand. The right hand rests on the American shled, with its thirteen stripes, crossed by scroll on which IS the word liberty The reverse represents the American eagle on the wing, drawn accurately from nature all the heraldc appendages of the old coin be- ng discarded. Over the field are irregulary twenty six stars; the entrance of Michigan into the union. having been, 1t seems, anticipated.
 The design of the face of the coin was drawn by Mir suY and that of the reverse by Mir Titan Peae; both under instructions from the director of the mint. The dies were executed by Mr. Gobrecht, one of the engravers of the mint.
 This emission of dollars is the first coined at The mint since the year lSo5 It is intended to adopt the same design in the other cons as soon as it is prac,. cable to do so.
