He had nothing in this case but his love OF
justice. Who feels that this girl should be
punished! Why do you want verdict! II
a. J. Burroughs had murdered her by the
most prolonged iendish punishment she would
not have suffered more than she had. When
Judge Mccullough lifted her from her knees,
and went home telling his wife he never saw
real horror and despair before. and when he
went with his wife the next morning to the iai
toknow whether this girl wanted any assistance,
the verdict was made that hour. From that
hour to this there was no clamor for her poor
blood, except the Burroughs and the prose-
cutionr Why is she thus surrounded! Why
has she such counsel as MIR. Bradley Does
crime elicit love and affection of men like him!
The prosecution. says that the people clamor
for an example, and he said no. How many
have assisted her in prison when she was sick!
He would like to mention names. When they
had acquitted the girl see how many clamored
for an example. --'-'
When the SANDER was made against the peo-
pie of this district do not look to it. He repealed
it. When a.prOsecution goes ont of his way to
get into the jury box the impression that the
people were clamoring for conviction, he was
ready to deny it. He waited when they should
bring in the verdict well done good and faith

more in behalf OF one who in q moment of at
Fiction sent upon her directly through mans

PRESENTATION OF CREDENTIALS.

Count Wydenbruck, who has for some time
represented the Austrian Government as Min
lister Resident in the United States, pres ented
his credentials to the President yesterday as
Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipo-
Tertiary. The address of Count Wydenbruck
expresses the assurance that this increase of
rank is token of the high regard entertained
by the Emperor for the President Of this Re.
public. 'as well as a new proof of the desire
entertained by his Imperial Majesty to
strengthen the ties of friendship which bind
the two countries :
President Johnson's reply is as follows:
COUNT WYDENBRUCK: Railways affords me
as upon public considerations. / felicitate you
upon your advancement in the favor of your
sovereign, and with pleasure accept that adj.
Yancement as a new token of the constant good
will and friendship of Austria to the United
States. ...
His Imperial Majesty has been pleased to
invite us to raise our mission in Austria to the
rank of an embassy. While the courtesy which
marks this suggestion is fully appreciated, it
Is perhaps not improper to say that the sen.
nments and habits of this Government incline
us to the practice of simplicityand moderation,
as we'll as OF frankness in International inter.
course; and that for this reason the organiZa.
ton Of our Legations abroad is fixed by laws
which could not be departed from, unless
upon occasions of difficulty, such as l feel as.
sured are not likely to occur in orr intercourse
with Austria or any of the ancient and friendly
German States. ... .....
