and handed it to Marian.

ewes, when SIZE saw that well-remeuoered
book. Mr.. Hamilton took her hand and
said
Marian, Jimmie has never forgotten

him, aud gave him this book, his life has
had one great aim, and that was to attain
to greatness, aud 10 after years to meet

Was no distinction to wealth and position.

worth alone. She taught her to rever.

tute; and that pheasant words were as

The Beauties of fsIaye-CatchinS Law.

For the last month or more the Gin
cinnati papers have contained lengthy
proceedings in the Y. S. District Court Of
Ohio in the case of William NJ. Connel
ly, indicted for the offence Of aiding in
the escape of fugitive from labor, in
such manner as to prevent his recovery
by his owner After most elaborate
trial, in which the y. s. District Atty.
followed up the defendant with the keen
scent of bloodhound, aided by patriotic
attorneys, aud who were opposed by abe
counsel on the other side, Counolly was
fined ten dollars and sentenced to twenty
two days Imprisonment His counsel
moved for new trial, which motion was
argued for several days, and on Satur-
day last dismissed; so that the sentence
of the court remains in force, and the
defendant must pay the ten dollars, and
20 to prison for the time specified,
Altogether this trial las proved about
the completast farce that has been enae,
ted under the provisions of the Fugative
Slave Law. As the champion of tho
slave catcher, the Federal Government,
has throw itself into the legal arena, arm
ed at all points, and utterly regardless o
expense, 1t has contested the case incl
by inch; brought on to the stand a GROVE
OF witnesses; secured the best counsel il
the market; engaged score or more Q
subordinate agents to 90 its bidding
all at an expense of We don't know how
many thousand dollars, and the result il
as above stated. Such is the practlea
working of the law whose enactment IL

bial for lavish professions Of regard for
rigid economy in the management of the
Government, but somehow the actual
budget is on the most liberal scale Of ex
peuditure. The history of the present
Administration so far, furnishes no ex-
ception to the rule, and its hnanciering
seems to be of the hap-hazard character
When Congress assembled, Mr. Buchan-
an, in his Message, dwelt with great CON-
placency upon the fact of an overlooking
Treasury while the whole country was
struggling in the throes of the reyuision.
Secretary Cobb was SO confident that he
could meet all current liabilities out of
current receipts shortly before the as
sembling of Congress that he benevolent
ly extended help to Wall street by the
redemption of Z. S. securities before
they fell due But both President and
Secretary were mistaken in their calcula-
tons. Hardly week elapsed before it
became evident that the Treasury must
be in some way replenished, and the Sec
retary me destly asked for the issue of $50,
OO0, 900 in Treasury Notes, aud Congress
very promptly granted his request. Then
he felt sure that there would be smooth
sailing through the fiscal year, and for
a while so thought the public. But only
the other day Secretary Cobb, like an
other Oliver Twist, ''a,ked for more, !"
and this time it is direct loan of SIS,
900, 900. .... ."r
