Circumstances Alter Cases.


Some of our Republican friends are
a good deal more sensitive on the sub
ject Of treason, than they were two or
three years ago
Then, it is well remembered, when
a requlsition was sent en- from Virginia
for one Coppic, Of Harper's Ferry mem.
ory, the Governor of this State took ad-
vantage Of a technical informality in the
papers to save Mr.. Coppic from the
halter. Instead of holding the man,
until the essential corrections were
made, he gave notice to the world that
the requisition was wrong, and gave tho
friends of the desired individual ample
time to spirit him away beyond the
reach of justice.
Members of the Legislature, and
other prominent gentleman, not appre
ciating, as they do now, the heinous-
ness of treason, chartered the Under
ground Railroad and hurried the fugi-
tive out of the State.
How different the case in 1862, when
William Hill of Harrison Co., after dis
charged by the United States Court: on
an Indictment for treason, is informed
by Marshal Hoxie, that Secretary Sew
ard wants him at Fort Lafayette.
How cheering the signs of reforma-
ton in our dear Republican friends for
not even whisper is breathed in Hills
behalf no interposition of technical
ties is prof1'ered by the Governor tho
Underground r. r. Company take no
pity on the victim the Quakers are
seized with sudden stringency in their
bowels of compassion and the majesty
of the law is fully vindicated.
Indeed, their adherence of the mans
of1ense is so extreme, that they de-
nounce as sympathizer with treason
and csemi' sccessionist, whoiasocv
er he may be, who dares TO venture the
opinion that the grounds of Mr.. Hills
incarceration were frivolous and unjust,
the spirit of the act dcspotic and its
tendency unfavorable to the permanency
Of free institutions.
1t gives us pleasure to add, in this
connection, that no Democrat, in the
political history of the State, has ever
yet been found standing in the way of
the enforcement Of the laws, military or
civil.
AS party, we protest against the
criminality Of permitting Coppic to es-
cape but we say, nevertheless, to
Marshal Hoxie,-take your Mr.. Hill,--
we oppose not the powers that have or
dcred his imprisonment,-we have no
railroad facilities for the escape of mur-
derers, horse-thieves or traitors,-we
have no pious sentiments to harbor the
yagab onds of society,-we have pledg-
ed life and treasure for the suppression
of rebellion, and sworn to march, even
if it be to death, under none but the
sacred, full-starrcd banner Of our coun-
try.--Iowa City Press.

7 Il E SA III E OF Il L R III A n,
BY MONSIEUR LIE CONTEUR.

Talking with a friend, the other hight,
about cases Of mistaken identity-the
most singular aad battling of all Difficult
ties that arise in the legal administra-
ton ofjustice-I recalled an old story
told nae by an Old ship ip-carpenter with
who [ once boarded.
The adventure is almost incredible ::
but as the narrator was 4 perfectly hon
est and worthy man, who had no object
whatever in deceiving me, [ believe it
to have been literal statement of facts.
No doubt, too, many of my readers can
remember episodes in the lives Of their
immediate acquaintance, equally
strange and romantic.
Il was about twenty years DID, said
the shlp-carpenter, when I took to fol-
lowing the sea. My first voyage was
to the West Indies, in 6 merchant-ves
sci from New York ; and when I got
aboard Of her, and realized that I was
actually about to part from all my
friends, my family, my home-every-
thing I loved and valued-I was lone
some enough; l can tell you.
II stood looking over the side, where
a tug was making fast to take us down
the bay, when boat came up with our
captain, and new hand-the last one
of our full complement.
:'This fellow was about my own age
as near as I could guess, and much the
same size, build, and temperament as
myself. I fancied, as he came up the
side, that he looked something like me
and when he threw his kit on deck,
felt little startled, somehow, to sec
the name of Andrew Bum on it. J be
gan to think he might be me, and
somebody else !
"Well, from this resemblance Of per
