Peace Prospect in Europe.

The lately threatening aspect Of affairs
in Europe seems 10 bo passing Off
The various symptoms OF trouble, one af-
ter another, are removed. England, who
it vas said would not go into the Con
gress, has consented to. Napoleon who
has been long suspected of planning an
invasion OF England, disavows, by Let
ter. anv such intention. Garibaldi, whose
military command it was feared would
provoke quarrels with Rome and Naples,
had resigned it. The Central Italians,
who insisted on having temporary Gov
ernment Of their own, are to be allowed
to have it; md Austria, whose hostility
was feared il they did, has become recon
cled 10 the arrangement. The task Of
the coming Congress will be easier than
was expected. Instead Of having to make
Peace, it will only have to preserve it,

Trial of Fx.Treasurer Gibson.

| The trial of Mr.. Gibson revives, some.
what, the history of the great Treasury
, Dedication. We need not recapitulatc.
Our readers know that the late Treasurer,
Breslin, the predecessor Of Gibson, stole
nearly million Of money from the State /;
that Democratic officials knew The fact,
but did not expose it that Democratic
officials aided Breslin in doubling TIE
capos Of July and January interest pay.
days, without a dollar in fact in the
Treasury. although they knew half a
million should be there that under the
lead OF these officials the Democratic
party re nominated Bresln: that party
would have elected him, had not a
political tornado swept Democracy out Of
the State House.
1t happened, in the place Of Breslin,
there was elected Republican Treasurer
Mr.. Gibson-a brother.in-law Of Brcs.
lin there was then no stain or Gibson's
character, and had the Convention known
Of his relationship to Breslin, he would
not have received the nomination. Gov.
Chase came into Office at The same time /;
few weeks divulged the great wrong
that Gibson endeavored to cover up.
Gov. Chase ousted Gibson on the
instant and took the treasury into his own
keeping, leaving it rot until his own
appontce was installed Treasurer.
Mr.. Gibson has had his trial al Colum-
bus and been found guilty, and his
counsel have moved for new tridl on
the following grounds:
Ist. Tha, The vcrdic, rendered in said
case is contrary to the evidence.
3D. That .he verdict aforesaid is con-
trary to law.
81 That the Court erred in its in
stuctions to the Jury.
9TH. That the Jury illegally separated
before rendering their verdict.
9th. That the said Jury was not in
charge OF the Sheriff. or Of any one duly
appointed, qualified and authorized to
take charge Of them.
9Th. That the said verdict is for TIE
plaintiff when, by the laws Of the land,
it should have been for the defendant,
7lh. And for ether reasons.
We are assured that the grounds for a
new hisl are deemed frivolous by all the
lawyers who are familiar with the case,
and that Gioson's conviction must be
certain.
The jury-about whose verdict an in
formali,y is claimed refined, the suppo
silion being that few minutes only
would be necessary for them 10 agree on
a verdict of guilty. After n little they
came in asking further instructions from
the Court, aud again retired. The Court
sent TO know when they might be OK
pected in again, so MS TO govern the ad'
journment accordingly. The officer asked
the foreman, and he joAingly remarked
that the jury would agree probably in six
months. The officer took the answer III
earnest and reported to the Court, where
upon it adjourned for the day. The jury
soon agreed and sealing their verdict,
dispersed untiithv meo.i"s Of Gnutt when
their verdict Of guilty was rendered.
That's about the way The case stands,
and that the only ground for new trial,
which no doubt, will be denied; and Mr..
Gibson go to the P Peniientiary for from
Que 10 seven years. .,.-.. 81. -
