THE REPUBLICAN Mass MEETING.-Gov
s. P. CHASE, J. r. GIDDrEGs and R. p
SPALDING were here last Saturday and ad
dressed the people. The Republican gath.
ering was not as large as was anticipate
by its friends, owing to two causes. First,
the weather on Saturday morning was not
as pleasant as desired, and second, there il
but small portion o. enthusiasm among TIE
rank and file of the Republican army. The
cry of an empty treasury, of broken promi.
ses and violated pledges, rings constantly in
their ears, and they have become disheurt-
ened.
The largest procession we saw, CONSISTED
OF about dozen wagons. There were one
or two bands OF music. These composed
the most interesting feature of the day. In
consequences of business which required our
attention in Court, we were unable to listen
to all the speeches. We got upon the
ground however, long, enough to hear
portion of, Gov. ,Chnse's speech on Finance.
He affrmed.thatth whole defaIcat on rested
with Breslin--thdt Gibson was as Innocent
,as,a new born babe. This me was compell-
sd to do in open defiance of his own Annual
Message in 1856, the State Auditors Report,
r. W. Taylor's and Alfred KelIy's Report
on Finance, and numerons other eyidehces
which he Republicans have themselves fur
nised of Gibsog's guilt. AS u specimen of
his reasoning to, prove that, BrcsIir was the
rea defaulter, we will allude, briefly to one
portion of his argdMept: He said that Bres-
haL expended $4,000 to, re- aist an attempt
xoGestroy bank charter in. Maryland; that
he had loaned $50 ,ooc to the Newark i
Ssantasky Railroad Compn Z. He did not
1aier 10 item of evidence to show that these
sums had come from the State Treasury,
but simply left tLs audience to ifSs~ that
ahey ca&e frOm that source. This was his

We would not Intentionally do any man
injustice. We cay in all sincerity that Gov.
Chase made a feeble speech. He is evidently
oppressed with the charge Of neglected du.
ties. He knows and feels that his admins.
tration has been complete and miserable
failure. He krowstIrat the people dre ubeut

THE CASE OF EBER M. CoNANT.-The
case of EBER M. CoNAET for Incest and
Rape, has been continued over to the next
term of the Court of Common Pleus, upon
the motion OF his counsel. The reasons as.
signed for a continuance, it seems to US,
were at best barely sufficient, and we wonder
ergetic resistance to the motion. We would
not have any man forced to his trial without
every possible and reasonable opportunity
for preparations; neither would we have an
eejnportant criminal cause continued upon
unnecessary and frivolous excuse. 1t looks
very much as though the main hope Of the
prisoner lay in postponement and delay.
