OF THE REcoRpER.-ln alludrg to the uncomfor-

We deny the "soft impeachment" We are the

We have dore Justice to the Recorder and no
more We have seen him assailed most disgrace
fully by the Wall street prints because he had the
moral courage to pursue a clique Of criminals, who
imagine that their wealth, power, and political in

violating the laws. If, in pursuing these highland

has exceeded his power by seizing Glentworth's

TRIAL OF WALL STREET FINAScIER-kSocK-

LIBERATED fnancier Of the Manhattan Bank, is set
do wn for this afternoon at 4 O. lock
1t will be recolleeted that this trial naturally
crews out of the removal Of the deposites in 1888
and the war on the U. s. Bank, begun by General
Jackson in 1873 Mr.. White, being astuts bank

obedience 10 this advice, lifted uP his right arm,
clenched his iron hand a hickory stick and gave
the U S Bank such thump across the shoulders,
that it fell headlopg in 1897 knocking down all tho
999 banks throughout the land, like one pin knock
ing against and knocking down the other nine pins.
From that time up to last summer, there was no.
thing but knocki down. all over the country. The
SPECTATORS were knocked down-bank stocks were
knock ed down-prices Of building lots were knock
ed down-fancy stocks were knocked down-wheat
was knocked dewn-four was knocked down-cot-
ton was knocked down-Morris Canal was knock
ed down-Jonathan Thompson was knocked down
Robert White Knocked him down and, on this
day. he is to be tried for il according 10 law But
we hope and trust that the Court and Jury will
deal kindly with honest Bob. Ever since General
Jackson began the game of nine-pins, and knocked
down Nicholas Biddle, there has been nothing going
on in the country but knocking down-the last knock
down being the most gigantic Of all. Tippecanoe
has Just knocked down Mr.. Van Buren, ; but on the
4h Of March the business OF knocking up begins.
Jonathan Thompson was not 50 far Knocked down,
but he can be knocked up again, and made as good
as new
Therefore, knsek down gentle verdict TO our
