ment of yesterday have thus re-asserted their SUI
premacy, and more than mere party victory has
been achieved. Without any disturbance or undue
excitement an improper bias TO misrule and anarchy
has been efficiently checked, and the City Govern,

No one interested in the citys prosperity and re-
putaton can fail to rejoice at this result apart from
the satisfaction which the Wing party are entitled
to feel at their restoration to political power and
influence. .@

WASHINGTON, March u, lS47.
fragrant of transgression against public law,
has of late painfully interested our community,
employing once the precousness of moral ntegri-
ty, and the danger of yielding in unguardcd mo-
ment to the temptation to from it's straig ht
line Hosea Hildreth Smith, young lawyer, a lead
er ia the choir of one of our churches, and lately
teacher of youth, has. it seems, been carrying
system of fraud and forgery, by which he obtained
possession Of certain unclaimed dividends in the IT,
s. Treasury. Many excellent people felt great anx-
iety for the result of the trial, hoping that the inno
resolutely asserted by himself, would be
tablished. All these fond Dreams however, were
quickly dsspated by his conviction on the second in
dc.ment the usual plea of insanity having been
put in. Seeing it impossible to escape, Smith plead
ed guilty in technical sense, to the remaining in
dctmens he decla red while asserting his real in
nocence. His counsel prayed the Court to postpone
the sentence until a pardon could be obtained from
the President. The Court, of course Indignantly re-
fused Judge Crawford then addressed the prisoner
the nature Of his offence, reminding him that his
respectable and trusted position in society aggravated
his crime, although the community seemed generally
to reserve their sympathes for genteel criminals
while the poor culprit, who without moral restraints
and moral instruction, offended against the laws and
who was really the most to be pitied was left to suf
fer without sympathy and relief Judge c. then
commented severely on the idea that man, because
he respectable" or 'srespeciably" connected
should, IN consequence of the misfortune of convic
ton, of course be pardoned. All this was said with
mingled kindness and frmness in fact, in manner
worthy Of the most excellent and upright Judge He
might well say what be did, considering how gently
Jurors ereabouts handle the respectable scoundrels
they sworn to try. The bank robber Turner has
just escaped Maryland Penitentiary, through one Of
the technicahty holes, and the infatuated audience in
Court loudly appauded the verdict of snot euiltv,"
which Turner's own counsel admitted to be false. in
admitting that he morally guilty, and of course
merited punishment.
