Case of Daniel McHe nry.

We publish on our first page the Peti.
ticn and Papers in the case of our worthy
County Treasurer, who was one of tho vic.
Tins Of the military raid upon this county
10 1864, and who, after prolonged impris
obment and most vexa,ous and expen-
sive trial, was honorably acquitted upon
oil The charges made against him. Al.
though tried under circumstances OF great
disadvantage and Inconvenience and be-
fore tribunal unknown TO the laws, his
entire innocence was made SO clear as to
extort his acquitta! and discharge from the
crap Of military power.
But, complete as is the vindication Of
his character and gooi name by the de.
ci.ion rendered, there has been no amends
made to him for the gross outrage and
cruel injustice Of his arrest and imprisou.
ment, nor repayment to him of the enor.
nous expenses incurred in defending him.

back the tide Of defam att, aud falsehood
which threatened to overwhelm him. For
the desire 10 convict him was strong, aud
his trial was kept going OF for two months
and half, one hundred miles from his
home, and adjourned over and over again
by the prosecution when he was ready for
trial, as if to harass and worry him into
submission or crush him under mountain
of expense. The country WIS secured for
witnesses against him, aud every effort
made which malice could prompt or power
command, to secure his conviction. But
the final result was most Dglorious to the
prosecution. Two Infamous will l-ils who

The Progress of Inhumanity.

"Of all the lessons derived from the
history of hDman passions" says Lava,
lettc, "the most important is the utter
imp os.ibiity which the best men will always

into The path of error" If, a few years
before they perpetrated, the crimes of the
Revolution could have been portrayed to

Robespierre would have recoilsd with hor-
ror. Men are seduced in the first instance
by plausible theories they advance, un.
consciously, from errors to faults ,aud from
faults to crimes, till sen,ibility is destroyed
by the spectacle of guilt, and the most
savage atrocities dignded by the namc OF
State policy. II, five years ag,, many Of
