ANOTHER TREASON CASE.

The Norwich (Conn.) Courier is publish
ing the report of case wherein the prisoner
(Republicanism), is under indictment for
treason. The evidence chiefly relied on by
the prosecution is document in writing
found on the prisoners person, contain
ing the mystic words -
"Tote early and then induce your nsighbor
to rote."
The New York Satanic was first called to
the stand, sworn, (until after election, and
testified, that the llarper's Ferry instruction
began at Rochester a long time since. Had
always said that the beginning would end
in something or other. Was quite clear on
this point. The words ''irrepressible con-
fict," IN the Scottish Gaelic, meant ''nigger
Instruction." Would swear to that until
after election. Knew the prisoner endorse
! since his infancy. Had once worked for
him earnestly, but had left his employment
for the chance of Il Job in Paris. Knew his
hand writing: the document relating to
voting early was of his production. 1t was
reasonable until after election.
On cross examination witness said be
once, he believed, owned a conscience: that
he was a better judge of pay than of prin-
cip!es that he had never experimental
with honesty; that he never looked Truth
or anybody else straight in the face: that
he had been several times publicly kicked.
and rather liked it; that Plum cutting and
squash raising were his rational amusem cnts:
and that he was not afraid of the devil, but
that the name of W. II. Seward frightened
him almost to death.
Henry A. Wise was next called He
appeared as if in the cold stage Of an ague
fit. His teeth ratified like castauets, and he
could not utter a word of testimony. He
carried case of duclIing pistols with the
motto
core buIIrt goes true

witness because Of his severe attack Of

gallery having sh outcd out $50 it Boues.'
