The case Of Judge Stuart has finally been brought
to close, and verdict Of " not guilty rendered.
Probably this has been one of the most baretaced
attempts to injure an innocent man on record.
Judge Stuarts course In the Poole case has had
more to do with this trial than many are aware.
While many in authority were for letting the mat
ter pass off quietly, Judge Stuart was active in
sitting the affair, and having the guilty parties ar
rested. And, as some of those arrested, were
somewhat noted politicians, 1t is not to be wonder
ed at that they should find friends, who would try
to shield them, and at the same time do all they
could to iniure the Judge. But the result of this
trial Is glorious vndication OF his character, OF
which be may well feel proud. s
1t will be recollected that the government gave
the Express company until the 20th of November
to make inquiries and ascertain, II possible, what
had become Of the $4,000, lost on its way from
Dubuque to this city. That time having expired
Yesterday, the full amount was paid over to the
government through the hands Of Mr. Cisco, the
assistant treasurer here As the gold has been
missing since the 18th Of September, it is not likely
ANYTHING will ever be heard of it. III
Burglaries appear to be the order of the day just

store is within stones throw, Of Broadway and
the Park, it is certainly somewhat singular to say
the least, that such quantities Of goods should be
carried of without the burglars being detected.
"A story is geng the rounds that Mr.. Raymond,
of the Times, has sold out his right In that paper.
Such il not the fact; but Mr.. Hooper retired from
the concern some time since, although his name
still appears as one Of the propretors. Having
sunk as much money in this paper as he could con-
yeniently spare has come to the conclusion to leave
it. He loses about $4,000, believe, in the con-

" The following card appears in morning paper.
The Star ought to be more careful about making
charges: a
"A newspaper called the Eyening Star, pub
lished in the city of Washington, in It's edition Of
yesterday, reterates the charge that I have been
engaged in recruiting or retaining men for the
British army, and connects with II the, assertion
that had written despatch to Her Majesty's
government in regard to the ship Maury. Wheth-
the article in question was written by the editor
Of that paper or by one who pandefs to it, beg
to assure the public that both his allegations are
simply and absolutely untrue

In our money market there is better feeling,
and discounts are obtained without trouble. Stocks
have improved for the past week until yesterday,
when slight reaction in the hncies took place.
Your telegraph operator said, "Stocks are lower"
and quotes Virginia stocks at 95. Now, this is
higher, with exception, 10th inst, than that
stock has been sold at for several weeks. merely
mention this to show that the telegraph is not to
be relied upon always.

Widow Bedott Papers, and if you wish to

appeared in Meals Gazette some years since, and
were received with much favor. Although some
