section Of the came act with having stolen letters
fronth mail and from the Post ofice.
At the same term. the PRISONER was tiied and con-
victed on the rstindictment His coun sci moved
the Court for new trial, on the ground that the
only note OF any real value taken from lette BY
the defendant was . one dollar note of Selden,
Withers & Co., of Washington. the issuing OF
which was prohibited by act Of Congress, and the
passing and receiving Of which were prohibited BY
the statutes of Virginia.
This motion was argued at that term, and again
during the present term-the Court sustained the
motion and awarded the new trial, on two grounds:
LIST, that the note in question was nota "bank
note" or ..promissory note' within the meaning OF
the act Of Congress- because not valid in point of
law; and ID, because such note has no such val
ne as the law win recognize and protect.
The prisoner was tried on the other indictment
on Tuesday last, and acquitted. After the verdict
had been rendered the District Attorney stated TO
the Court in relation to the other case, that the
pr;soner took from the same letter containing the
note of SeIden, Withers 4 Co., another note is
sued by an individual in the city of Baltimo re- in
the form of bank note, at time when the issu-
ing of such notes was not prohibited by any sta
tute of the State of Maryland. The note, howev-
err being of no actual value in the market-and an.
nounced his readiness to enter aolle prosequi, in
case the Court should be of opinion that the steal
ing of such note from letter was no offence un-
der the statute The Court took until yesterday to
consider the question, and on yestf rday decided,
that in order to come within the act of Congress,
the note must not only be valid in point of law but
must also possess some a:tual value in the market,
and that, therefore, the prosecution could not be
sustained. The District Attorney thereupon enter
ed moleprosequi and the prisoner was discharg ed
Both these cases involved legal questions of
much interest andimportance. The point in rela.
ton to the "value" of Seldea, Withers g. Co Is
notes. strikes US as one of great practical conse.
quence, and was admitted on ali sides to be novel
one. For if it be true that such notes have no
"value, in legal sense, how can they be the sub
jects Of larceny under the laws of the State and
if not the subjects of larceny would the stealing of
them be punishable at all

friend writes US from Fayetteville, under date
June 7th, as follows:
81 hasten to inform you, just before the mail closes,
that the citizens of Fayetteville have listened to-day,
for six hours, to the discussion between Reid and
Kerr; and have the satisfaction of saying that David
S. Reid, the champion of Free Suffrage, has fully met
the expectations of his friends, and off victori-
in the discussion, defeating his opponent at every
point and upon every issue. [, as Democrat, am
proud of him leader, and assure you this is the
sentiment of every Democrat who heard the discus
sion. Gov. Reid is plain, modest man, unassuming
in his demeanor, and his countenance indicates that
he is pure and spotless man. if there is earth.
tell you the Democrats proud of their candidate,
and Cumberland, in August next, will sustain him by
a handsome majority.
Mr.. Kerr's speech consisted of mere fourishes and
funny words. for the boys to hurrah and laugh
at. He found it impossible to answer Gov. Reid's
arguments, and SO to make up the deficiency he had
to do something for the amusement of the crowd.
Every Democrat who heard the discussion to-day,
is stronger Reid man than he ever was before.
Tonight Gov. Reid will meet his friends in the
Fayetteville Hail. for the purpose of spending few
hours in social intercourse"

Without reference to the two-thrds rule, word
two the. nature of these proceedings may not
be inappropriate. We but think the effect of
such result the convention. has brought out, en-
inently sautdry in some respects. Its tendency is
clearly to prove to the public mind that Off
cial distinction, official service. devotion to du-
ty, constitute in themselves patent the honors of
the republic For these things, every man receives
man who does faithfully discharge his duty to the
public in high official service. however comparative
Iy obscure may be his name position, may, at
proper time and under favorable circumstances be
called to assume the responsibility and put the
bonors of the Presidency of the United States. A
feature of rigid mpartiality is evolved in this thing
peculiar to our Institutions; and one which must
commend itself to the admiration of all who prop
ery esteem that genuine equality which ought to
prevail in society, subject only to distinction of Po-
siton by fidelity in public service and personal worth
of character. .-f
