N. GARDNER FOUND GUILTY. SUDDEN DEATH OF
THE PHIsosKR, ETC.
WASHINGTON, Ma .eh 8, 1854
Iha jury In the Gardiner ca,s returned vsraict Of
guilty this morning. after twenty two hours elaboration
and the Court passed the highest sentence allowed BY
law-viz, ten years in tue penitsntiary
Exss1tioa was stayed till two days after the rising
Of the Circuit Court to which the case was to be carried
On bn q exceptions.
DR. Gardner placed in the cusedy Of the Marshall
and died very suddenly shortly Afterwards he Ii sup.
POSED to have poisoned himself after hs conviction
II b net certain, however, that the Ia suicide
ovsrwroasht feeling, 1t s thought may have been the
cause
On satsripg the cell whore Gardner was confined, hs
observed to drink water, throwing his head
back, ana II Ii supposed he took strIchnins PILL Hs
vas ssssd With oonvusons almost imme eaatsy. Altar
giving sttsT to Charles Gardner his brother, he
married that hs going before Judss who would not
prono.ass him guilty and thsn expired in great agony
His corpse remains In the jail
It II not known for whom the letter Was intended.
Hs wss thirty six years cid, had the education and
manners of gentleman, and engaged to bs married
10 lady'h 0sorsstowa.
His eounsss exceptions 10 the bill osntained twenty
nine sount and Of his friends entertain
that the Circuit Court would have granted trial.
Ths end Of the Gsrdner drama has created ths most
profound sensation here 1t is universally sad that the
should turn its attention to the counsel who
assisted Gardner is his before the
missioa. the case was . fraud, Waddy Thompson,
uoswn, 10 should be made to show that they had NO
haad h II, either BY infatng the amount otherwise
Now that GsrdAsr Is dead 1t will be difficult matter fer
The sovrnnsnt to got ssal possession Of the money.
Tie courts can follow it to his heirs, they also to
h eounss and to every man who has received directly
Or Indirectly any portion Of It, The civil suit which was
pending fr the recovery Of tho money certainly expires
with Gsrdner's death.
fhs Ccroasr's jury commenced an investigation this
svsning. and adjourned till the morning, when post
noetsa examination will be made.

SHE ADMINISTRATION ORGAN AND THE NEBRASKA
QUEST1oN-rA0KING ABOUT, ETC.
The UsSss contains article this morning the Ne
hrss LII in whieh the administration organ takes the
Sss task and declares in many words that It does
not new regard the support Of the Nsbraska bill test
Of dsnoerssy or its opposition antsgonistc to the
adninsstoa. This is precisely the betrayal Of the
iutrss Of the South BY the administration which the
HnA1. has al along predicted. II 10 understood the bar

Ho printsr the Union would come ous with article
svowipg in effect that the friends the Administration
ieht oppose the bill they pleased Both sides Of the
bargain have nov been oonsummatsd.
