misled by an errenous conception of duty.
COL Wheat asked that the prisoners be re-
leased upon such terms as the Court might
see proper to fix.
The Court addressed the Peasants
county prisoners as to the folly of resist
ing the power of tue restored Government.

Pathiser now is to insinuate himself quietly

those who made it. Hethen branches off
upon Abolitionists and Black Republicans,
who, he says, refused to compromise, and
are, therefore, the authors of the war, and

AFTERNOON SESSION.


DanielDuskey and Jacob Warner, convict
ed of robbing themail, were ordered up for
sentence.
Mr.. Caldwell made motion for new
trial, and also motion in arrest of judg-
ment. Mr.. c. assumed the position that
the verdict was not in accordance With the
law and the evidence. He claimed that
the District Attorney had made an improp-
or use of the evidence ELECTED, and that the
offence of which the parties were convict
ed, was not committed with the felonious
intent defined in the law. The parties went
to the post Office to get news to serve their
secession masters. Their object was
secesh and nothing else, and therefore the
felonious intent defined by the law does
not appear, and the parties are improperly
convicted. They have been convicted of
an offence which they never dreamed of,
and which the proof shows they did not in
tend to commit.
Colonel Smith said the parties had gone
to the post office, with arms, scared the
post master away, took the property and
never returned it. The intent must be iu-
ferred from the act. Whether they knew
they were stealing or not has nothing to do
with the question. No man can plead ig-
nOrance of the law. They ouly read the
letters and papers. because they could de-
vote them to no other purpose. That is all
they were fit for.
The Court oyerruled Mr.. Caldwell's mo-
tiou, and the prisoners were ordered to
stand up. The Court remarked that the
evidence in the case was conclusive; that
it was not only the intent of the prisoners
to rob the post office, but to take anything
else belonging to the Federal Government.
They had driven the people away from the
village by fear, and while they may have
intended to do very different thing from
whatthey did do, the jury are the judges
of the act The act was done without rea-
son, ProyocatiOn or excuse. They had had
the benefit of able counsel and fair and
impartial trial, audit only remained for the
Court to do its duty.
The Court then sentenced Warner to
three and Dusky to four years in tho Peui-
Tertiary, at Washington City. The Couri
said that it sympathised with the parties
as much as any man, butt had stern and
infexible duty to perform, and sympatbie.
and feelings must not weigh feather il
the scale of public justice.
