slanderet the people aud the courts of Penn

sons could not have fair trial in this State,
oush, 10 be as prompt 10 remove this unjust
impu,alion, as The jury has been toshow thai
il was undeserved. Nothing has ever occur
ed 10 the judiciary history oi Pennsylvania to
warrant any such simpulation. The courts
faithfully perform their duties in.all questions
at issue between the ciilzens OF the respect.

hence the postage letters to Foreign countries when

No change has taken place in the position of affairs

ships to open the Nicaragua route again. It
is our impression that the report will be

business for any line just The transportation OF
