~ N THE spring OF 1876 | was in
Qp Jackson, Alabama, to attend court
OH having been engaged to defend a
ccg young man who had been accused
459 of robbing the mail. l arrived
q early in the morning, and immed-
ately bad a long conference with
my client. The stolen mail bag bad been
recovered, as we'll as the letters from which
the money had been rifed. These letters
were given me for examination, and I re-
turned them to the prosecuting attorney
Having got through my private prelimina-
ries about noon and as the case would
not come off before the next day, I went
into court in the afternoon to see what
was going on. The first case that came
up was one of theft, and the prisoner was
a young girl, not more than seventeen
years of age, named Elizabeth Madworth.
She vas very pretty, and bore that mild,
innocent look which we seldom find in a
culprit. She had been weeping profusely,
but as she found so many eyes upon her,
she was too frightened to weep more.
The complaint against her set forth that
she had stolen a hundred dollars from a
Mrs Naseby, and as the case went on |
found that this Mrs. Naseby, wealthy
widow living in the town, was the girls
mistress. The poor girl declared her in
nocence of the crime in the widest terms,
but circumstances were hard against her
A hundred dollars in bank notes had been
stolen from her mistress room, and she was
the only one that had access there.
At this juncture. when the mistress was
called upon the witness stand, young
man came and caught me by the arm. He
was fine looking man, and big tears
stood in his eyes.
They tell me you are good lawyer" :"
be whispered
Il am lawyer" I answered.
/" Then do save her You certainly
can do it. for she is innocent" +"
g Is she your sister?
No. sir." be added 'but, bu-"
Here he hestated.
Has she no counsel? :" l asked.
None that's good for anything-no-
body that Il do anything for her, Q, save
her, and III give you all I've got. can't
give you much. but can raise something. !"
lrefected moment. / cast nv eyes
towards the prisoner, and she was at that
moment looking at me. She caught my
eye, and the volume of humble entreaty
read in her glance resolved me in mo-
ment | arose and went to the girl, and
asked if she wished me to defend her
She said yes.mI then informed the court
that was ready to enter into the case,
aad was admitted at once. The loud
murmur of satisfaction that ran quickly
through the room told me where the SYM
pathies of the people were. I asked for
a mo1hent' 5 cessation that might speak
with my client. went and sat down BY
her side, and asked her to state eandidly
the whole case. She told me she had
lived with Mrs Naseby nearly two years,
and had never any trouble before. About
two weeks ago. she said, her mistress lost
a hundred dollars.
She missed it from her drawer" the
girl said to me, and asked me about it.
| said I knew nothing about it. That eve

Nasebv that she saw ms take the money

Sanitary Commission.

Sanitary Commission
A meeting of this organization was held
pursuant to notice, at the Council Chamber
last evening. Quite number of the mem
bers were present.
Reports from varions visiting and dis
tributing committees were read; and from
them, coupled with the verbal report of the
Commissary, it appears that the stock of
coats, shoes and pants at the disposal Of the
Commission, is about used up. The cash
also in the hands of the Treasurer has been
nearly all appropriated.
Appeals have already been made to the
public in behalf of this patriotic mission,
yet suggestion or two at this time may
not be out of place. Every man who stays
at home, and all the ladies, too, should re-
member that those who have lost their
health in the camp, or shed their blood on
the battle field, have a claim for considera-
lion that no lover of his country should dis
regard and all such should make it per-
sonal matter to do what they can TO at
least supply the absolute necessities of the
sick or wounded soldiers.
Large numbers are brought to this point,
and iu many cases a regard for even com
mon decency requires that they should be
furnished with clothing before they can
leave the hospital. Let every man and his
wife take an interest in this matter, and
either il cash, or its equivalent, contribute
little. Let those who have not contrib
uted make haste to do so; and those who
of it-aay WE, as though there were an l
in it.
This latter suggestion is also submitted
to some of the members of the Commission,
in connection with their duties as hospital
visitors, SC.

EaS@ The law of Illinois requires that
taxes shall be paid in gold or silver. When
the law of Congress making Treasury
Notes legal tender was passed, a question
was raised as to whether the State law re-
curing coin excluded these notes. The case
was taken to the Supreme Court, aud that
tribunal has decided that the law of Con-
gress does not impair the validity of the
State law, and that Treasury notes cannot
be taken in payment of taxes in Illinois,
~. Il. Ledger.
The charter of the Bank of the State of
Indiana provides that it shall redeem its
Issues in gold and silver. 1t has been de-
cided by the banks, however, that the act
of Congress making the treasury notes a
legal tender, avoids the necessity of re-
deeming their circulation in gold and sill
yer, because the law of Congress is supreme.
Yet it would seem that if the law of Con-
gress does not impair the validity of the
State law in Illinois,, it ought not to i'm
pair the va idity of State law in Indiana.
We know not on what grounds the decis-
ion in the Illinois Supreme Court was
based, unless on the assumption that Con-
gress could not pass law interfering with
the laws of States enacted and in force
prior to its psssage-in other words an
er post faeto law.

was adopted:

What scathing commentary on the
professed loyalty Of that paper is the above
resolutionl Travel where you viii, if you
find q secession sympath zsr iuquiriug for a
daily paper, it is always the Cincinnati
Enquirer. We believe there are some f W
patriots whG read the Enquirer, but they
will soon end that in proportion as they
drink in of its spirit, they will feel their
loveof country grow cold, their sympathy
for the brave volunteers subside, and their
hatred of rebels diminish. The Fremont
tory symptoms are, a continual fault-6nding
with everything done by the Government TO
suppress the rebellion and no words of con-
domination for the rebels seeking its over
throw. These symptoms disguised as
Democracy-are as insidious as the arrful
advances of the consumption. and are sure
to result in the death of every patriotic de-
sire entertained by the individual who be-
comes contaminated with the disease carried
about the country in the columns of the
Enquirer. The old clothes Of smallpox

No greater evidence of the forbearance of
the Administration can be cited than that
the Enquirer is permitted to circulate with
impunity.
