l, will be That he does ask that the fine be re-
funded the ground taken by of his friends that
he is in pecunary struts and difficulties. He has too much
pride to acknowledge that just retbuton has overaken
him. and that portion of that uin which he scattered
broadcast the land, has fallen upon his head
No-hc demands 1t us right lie would have the sen.
cnce OF the Court erpunged, and stigma fixed upon the
character OF the Judge Nothing will his un

man, with back him bu, the Sherf-And vet he
had the the lawess Military Chieftain
from the midst OF his armed rctanc flushed with victory
and TO impose just fine upon him for violating the Laws
and Constitution OF his country and ampng in the dust
the personal rights of American citizens. The only obec
ton had to the was that not ade
quac to the offence imprisonment should have been add

Hail. we would have monument erected his memory.
Why has application been made for cfunding the fine
before ths' Nearly four legal letmes have elapsed and
whisper of dsapprobaon Of the righteous deci-
sion of the Judge has been heard II hash sanctioned
by the silent approval three generations and the band Of
DULLES and mecenaries who always surrounded the Old
Hero never during all this time, opened their lips They
seemed 10 be Of the mind with all the Of
kind, that the military despot off on much better
terms than he deserved.
