Federal city. We should not have made
this case the subject of remark again, but
for this attempt of the defence to keep (by
means of newspapers before the public,
garbled Misrepresentation of the trial.
All know that the disease of getting
money from the Treasury, by hook or by
crook, is an alarming one. Laws for the
punishment of such offences are of no
earthly avail, unless they are administer
ed according to their true intent; strict
justice being done to the public interest,
as well as to the accused. We are not
disposed to remain silent, while the dis
tant press are pouring out anathemas
against the people of Washington for q
disposition to aid and abet frauds of all
sorts on the Government of the United
States, and while at the same time the
defence in such cases are poisoning the
public mind with such papers as this
