Close THE LADIES FAIR.-This beautiful af-

real satisfaction We visited il in person that

girls telling my fortunes-and know not what else
besides. II reminded me precisely Of the cava-

DIxoE AND ms CAsE.-By our report in another
column il will be seen that Recorder Morris has re-
duced the bail in the of Dixon from $4,000 to
few hundreds, and that this parsonage Is liberated
probably on his own recognizances
Newspapers out Of New York astonished that
the jury could not agree-and that Dixon has es-
capped. 1t IL not Dixons innocence that has saved
him-nor his taent-nor his virtue-nor has any
thing that is his lie has been saved by the erocity
and folly Of his persecutorsby the astounding doc
trnes Of his judges-by the corruption and liberti-
nism OF the society he has attacked That nas been

liberty, the deeency and the dignity of the press.
We ourselves were among those Of whom he wrote
and published the most outrageous things, accusing

facts and circumstances revealing the affairs 81 pri

But this - not all. We see Recorder Morris re- |

minal, after having endeavored 10 explain away the
PLAIN principles OF the Constitution which allows
the truth to be given in evidence on all cases On
