o. The conduct of Judge PETIT IN pro-
hibitng the newspapers from publishing the
testimony during the tendency of trial for
murder has been made the subject of criti-
cism. We see no reason why the order
should be confined to cases of murder, not
why it should be made standing ale of the
Court Such an order should be matter OF
sound discretion with the Court, to be exer.
cised, in all ordinary cases, on the applica-
ton of counsel.
1t is necessary for a fair trial, for the due
administration of Justice, that one witness
should be prevented from knowing wha
another witness has testified and all reason
able methods of preventing such knowledge
must be within the legitimate powers OF {
Court The usual plan is TO exclude all wit
nesses, but the one on the stand, from the
Courtroom, and this in olden times wa:
enough. But il, in consequence of short
hand and daily newspapers, the old plan
proves defective, the power of the Cour
must necessarily expand with the improve
ments of the age. The object to be attained
is one essential to the due course of justice.
We have no books or authorities before us
but If our memory serves US Alright, the powe
of court to prohibit the publication of test
mony pending the trial, was very warml!
contested, but very firmly maintained b!
Judge Mclean, at Columbus, in the Mayth'
Washington Case, when Cole, Cummins, His
sane and others were tried for conspiracy
The power of Judge PETIT to make the or
der alluded to may, therefore. be considere'
res adjudicota.
We would especially deprecate any attemp
to make political capital out of question
this sort Judge PETIT has, it is true, been
Democratic politician, but we would not ALLOW
that fact to influence our judgement in tn
slightest degree.

JAMES RARIDEN, Secretary.
JUDGE MCLEAN.

The Court sympathises with the bar in the
loss of one of its distinguished members. Our
social and professional relations in the pro-
gress of time are broken, and this should teach
us how uncertain is the tenure of our earthly
existence. Among all the members of this
bar there was no one who, from his apparent
strength of constitution and healthful vigor,
appeared to have a stronger hold on life than
the friend whose death we now dellore.
Mr.. MARSHALL was a man of vigorous in
tellect and of strong reasoning powers; his
mind had basis of common sense, without
which learning and experience are of little
value. In the strength of his views he more
than compensated for any want of polish III
his manner. He was always sensible often
convincing. AT any bar in the Union his
ability would have been marked, and he
would have been considered, as an antagonist
worthy of the highest efforts. His profes.
sional bearing was elevated and honorable
The loss of such man cannot but be deep
ly felt and deplored by the public and es-
pecially by the bench and the bar, to whom
he was best known.
The Court directed the proceedings presen
ted to be placed upon the record.

The Letter of I.aFay EFT e--The Mora @
and Bishop Spaulding Controv ersY.

1t will be recollected there appeared last
fall in the columns of the Enquirer, over the
signature of cold Line" an exposure of a
stupendous fraud which the Know Nothing
press had been guilty of, in palming off upon
LAFAYETTE a sentiment he never uttered
The expression they attributed to him-"If
ever the liberties of the country are destroyed,
it will be by RomiSh priests"-was dug out
of letter in which he quoted it but TO refute
1t. The original letter was copied by the
Democratic press all over the Union, and was
inserted, due credit being given to us, by
Bishop SPAULDISG, of Louisville, in a certain
work which he published Professor MORSE,
of Poughkeepsie. New York, upon whose
authority the original statemant was made,
finding himself in an unpleasant position. com
menced a controversy with Bishop SPAULD-
ING in relation to the genuineness of our cor
respondents letter. He asserts that no such
book the letter is quoted from is in exist
ence, and that "0ld Line" himself is one of
those dreaded persons called "Jesuits.,-
Now, we assure Professor MORSE, and all in
terested III the controversy, that "Old Line "
is a Protestant gentleman, "staunch in the
faith" by no means bitter partisan, and that
he can prove every statement he made to be
correct. His veracity we believe To be as
good as MoRsE'S; and if the latter will come
to this city, and risk anything upon his i'm
/ parchment OF 1t, the book will be produced
before a committee selected by the parties
/ There is no doubt whatever that Professor
MORSE is all wrong in the matter, or that those
who are quoting LAFAYETTE upon his au-
thority are grossly deceived. We assure the
public that 1t can place the most implicit con-
fidence in the Eagwrer's communication re.
garding the LAFAYETTE forgery Cincinnati
Enquirer.
Weekly Indiana State sentinel. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1853-1861, 1855-05-24

BANE OF THE STATE OF INDIANA.-We
understand that the Commissioners appointed
to devide the State into Bank Districts, and
to locate the Branches, permitted by the law,
created sixteen Districts, and fixed upon the
places designated below. Ii will be seen
that the number of State Bank Districts is
now sixteen, whereas, under the law permit
ing the existing Old Bank, the number was
thirteen The places additional to the old are
LIMA, CONNERsvILLE and JEFFERsONvILLE.
The other places are those containing the
Branches of the Old Bank, with the excep-
ton of La PORTE and PLYMOUTH.
The reasons assigned for changing the loca-
ton in these instances, from Michigan City to
La Porte, and from South Bend to Plymouth,
ale thought by many to be plausible and sat
isfactory. La Porte was regarded, in consid-
ering this case, as the centIe of business for a
larger class of community than Michigan City,
and was selected in accordance with this idea.
This selection seemed Ia involve the necessity,
it was urged, of changing the location of a
branch at South Bend; for the reason that the
branch at either of these places, by the rail-
road connection, will accommodate the same
district of country. Plymouth will be con-
nected, after while, with La Porte, by rail-
road it is true, yet she reaches a district of
country, very rich and rapidly developing,
which has but little connection with either
La Port or South Bend.
These, with a thousand Others, were the
arguments used we are informed, inducing
the following result
