When any such distressing accident as that
which occurred at our pork house on Thurs
day, the 18th inst, whereby James R. Far
rell lost his life, happens, so many different
accounts get into circulation we think it best
to give correct statement of the facts in
this case. They arc as follows: James r.
Farrell, of Cincinnati, Ohio, came to our
place in November, under contract to take
charge -four tanks, which he did to our en-
tire notwithstanding very sober, steady
and exceedingly careful man, always taking
pains to caution, not only strangers, but
those under his employ, against any dan
ger there might be about the machinery or
tanks. Having bsen thus careful, be had
gone through the winter without the most
trivial accident. Having fulfilled his en-
gagement with US, he was expecting to leave
for home on Saturday morning, the 10Th
inst, which caused him, on Thursday morn
ing to be unusually lively, even joyous, un-
der the prospect Of so soon joining his wife
and two little children in Cincinnati. About
eleven o'clock he went to the front OF tank

Of those moments of forgctfulncss, which

render all hope of recovery vain. Three
physicians were Immediately called, and ev.
cry thing possible done for his relief, yet he
suffered extremely from the first he fully
realized his situation, and deeply regretted
the sinfulness Of his past life. Being by ed
ucation Roman Catholic, he desired to SCI

home. He was frequently engaged in sup

measure permitted t, feel his prayers an

resigned to his situation, feeling that the &C
cidept was in the ordering of Providence. :
Although suffering so extremely, no one ap
preached his bedside, but was greeted witt

the lecturer to take the oath of allegiance
Dean squirmed and attempted to dodge
He was unwilling to take 1t from military

house, the oath was read to him and after q
good deal of higgling he finally held up his
right hand and swore allegiance to the
Stripes and Stars. But being also required
to subscribe the oath he again demurred.-
He was very much opposed to putting his
autograph at the foot ofsuch document
But finding he must either subscribe it or

consented.
This matter having been satisfactorily got

proofof treason afterwards appeared to be
insufficient, and such prisoners were soon
released. But in these cases, with scarcely
an exception, the lack was only in sufficient
evidence to convict, while the fact of guilt
hardly admitted of doubt. Indeed, those
released under such circumstances have been
too glad to escape, to make any complaint,
conscious that IA more thorough investigation
would involve them beyond hope of release.
If mistakes have been made, they have been
wonderfully few and far between, and the
circumstances have usually been such as to
afford at least strong suspicion Of guilt.
The necessity for such arrests is now at
an end, except along the line where civil war
prevails and "due course of law" is out Of
tho question. Ifany man or woman has
been wrongfully dealt with by the state de.
partment, or even exposed to unjust suspi-
cion, there are legal remedies to be sought
and obtained when the present crisis IS pass.
ed. But we doubt il there will be single
one of the treason prisoners who will be will
ling to open his "blecdi " wounds to public
scrutiny. The truth is, the government has
been exceedingly cautious in this whole
matter, and instead Of making arrests on
slight or doubtful evidence Of treason, It has
forborne to exercise its power in hundreds
Of cases because Of its scrupulous regard to
individual rights. If the secret history of
some Of the present cavil,ers could DO exposed
we believe il would appear tina. they too owe
q debt Of gratitude to the government for it's
forbearance, rather than hatred and abuse
for its severity to others. There is no doubt
that the exercise of this extraordinary power
is attended with dangers to the liberty Of the
citizen, but in the present case these dangers
are purely Hypothetical. Every American
knows that an administration assuming such
powers to promote its own purposes, instead
Of the general welfare, would be swept away
by an irresistible whiriwind Of popular indig-
nation. That the malcontents have been
unable to raise the slightest ripple Of public
discomfort and alarm. is owing simply to
the fact that the people understand the
whole matter, and know that the cry of wolf
is both false and sinister. There Is no popu-
lation on the globe more thoroughly attach
ed to constitution and law, or more sensitive
to any encroachments upon them, but they
are not to be deceived with the outcry for
law and order when it Is manifestly raised
in behalf Of traitors, Justly dealt with under
the laws 81 war. Springfield Republicans.
