The GOVERNMENT AND THE SICKLES TRIAL.
In republishing the opinions of the press yes
terdsy. on the Sickles trial, we preferred to
print unmutilated an article from the Balti-
moro Patriot that embraced gross errors as to
the alleged action Of the Government in con-
neetion with the late trial of Daniel E. Sickles.
The Misrepresentation of the Patriot in the
matter is common, we regret to say, to the
Opposition press generally, which have en-
deayOred to create the impression that the
President interfered to prevent stringent
prosecution because the accused had been his
personal friend. &c. Nothing could be more
untruthful than such an allegation. That fact
will be evident to all who will reflect for an
instant on the facts of the trial, than which no
other American criminal trial was ever more
vigorously prosecuted. The public will re-
member that no other American criminal trial
was ever conducted On the part Of the defence
with 30 heavy an expenditure, and 80 much
outside pressure. So extraordinary were the
exertiOns to clear the accused as that the visOr
OF the prosecution has been in a great measure
overlooked by the country, in the concentra-
tiOn of its observation on tho exertiOns 20 clear
Sickles. The fact that the prosecution was so
vigorous as it was, and that every means to
convict the accused that the Court would per-
nit were exercised. will doubtless prove suf-
hcient to satisfy all reasoning people that this
partisan charge against the Government is
wholly untrue, as it surely is

p6- Criminal Court adjourned Wednes-
lay after session Of some ten days. The
Court was opened during the term several
nights until o'clock. This is the long
est term Of the Court for yesrs-perhaps
since it has been in existence. The reas-
on of this is that there was a large felony
docket--some of which had been tried
once before and it was therefore difficult
to procure jurors who had not "formed or
expressed an opinion"
Two cases were here from Stewart Coun-
ty-viz: State VS.. DR.. Rutland for csus-
ing the death of his wife by neglect of her
during child bearing. At former term
the defendant was convicted by the jury Of
manslaughter and his time fixed in the
Penetentiary at two years. The Judge
granted new trial. On the trial this
time he was again convicted of manslaugh-
ter and the time fixed at nine years in the
Penetentiary. Upon proper af6davits of
surprise and newly discovered testimony
the Court again granted him a new trial,
and the defendant not giving bail he was
committed to jail. The other case from
Stewart was the State against Henry for
shooting DR.. Nolen, at the former trial Gin
Stewart) Henry was convicted and ap-
pealed to the Supreme Court which ruled
out certain testimony of defendants con-
fessions as illegal On the trial here Hen
ry was acquitted.
In the case of the State VS.. Mrs. Hodges
end trial the former one resulting in the
jury not being able to agree) the defend
ant was acquitted. State VS.. Maria "a
slave) was jointly indicted with Mrs.
Hodges Ga severance having been hereto
fore made) was acquitted.
State against Bill Stephens for drawing
a bowie knife, (there being no evidence of
it sufficient to convict but the contrary
the Attorney General (Judge Wisdom
entered mol pros. State VS. Baggett for
betting on cock-fighting g cases) the de-
PENDENT was found guilty and fined S25
and the costs in each case. Several sub
misious and mol pros at defendants costs
were entered. Owing to the extreme diff
Guilty and great delay in procuring jurors
(panels) the Court had large number of
citizens summoned and kept them in at
tendence on the Court, until all the fclonies
were disposed Of
The next term of the Court, is the 4th
Monday, in May next.
We have not learned how many indict-
ments were found by the Grand Jury, but
presume the number was small.
