Trial by. Jury.

The mockery of trial by which Miss Harris was acquitted, i'm Washington, of the murder of Burroughs, was sad commentary upon the course of justice in our civil courts '.'h'
 Miss Harris shot her faithless lover, in the Treasury building, some months since. She ! was brought for trial before Judge Wylie, the same magistrate who issued the writ of Habeas
 Corpus for Mrs. Sarratt, and before whom the
 friends of Jeff Davis are anxious to bring his case. Her counsel attempted to prove that
 Burroughs engaged himself to her with wicked designs that he endeavored to induce her to visit house of ill fame; and finally that this treatment resulted in insanity, under which she committed the murder: It failed to appear in the evidence, that they were ever really on gagged to be. married the anonymous letters that she received inviting her to the house of prostitution, could not possibly have been writ ten by him there was mo evidence, that we can see, that he had ever treated her dishonor- ably or ungentlemanly; and even her insanity
 was not firmly established before the court. In
 the pleas, the judge allowed her counsel the ut
 most limits in their appeals to the sympathy of the jury, and to the feelings and passions of the
 audience, but the District Attorney was not al
 lowed the most common privileges of advocates
 at the bar. The. court was frequently inter
 rupted with the clamor of the crowd of tspecta tors The jury, without deliberation, pronounced
 the woman not guilty her senior counsel ern-
 braced and kissed her, the crowd cried hi! hi ! and the court, that had made itself contempti-

We may be mistaken, but it is our opinion, that such tribunal is a poor place to look to for justice in any case and if we were to be tried for any crime, We would prefer to place our fate in the hands of q stern but enlightened and digniGed military tribunal, rather than than take our chances of justice before such an intoxicated and irresponsible mob.

1t has been acknowledged by all that the

man heart an instructive love Of charaoter,-

And who enjoys good name or prizes char
acter most, who receives the greatest
injury in being robbed Of the samep 1t is
not the person Of wealth. for their money
the God Of money-oalls around them com
panions and friends, but it is the poor, de-
pendant upon the public patronage for en-
ployment. And how many innocent females
Of the purest hearts have been ruined by vile
slander alone. Could the thoughtless or en-
vious once experience the bitter pangs Of suf-
fering caused by sla 7der | think they would
never again be guilty of low aud mean insin-
uations, or otherwise of falsely representing
the character Of others. Any person who will
wilful and deliberate slander another has
a heart blacker than a murderer. And what
can be worse, Would not most any person
of an ambitious mind choose rather to see
their friends deprived Of life than so wicked
ly stripped Of their character. And what ex-
ouse can there be for the crime, IL we may be
allowed 20 call it a crime-of wilfully and
deliberately and malicious slsnder by which
some innocent young ladies and other per-
sons have so severely suffered. Would to
Heaven that slander, by human law, was
made penal offence for which the most Sc

the enormity Of the crime.
Truth may be stiAed and crushed to the
earth, but it will rise again, and shine with
renewed lustre, for it is eternal.

BY E.P. WALTON

Hon. Paul Dillingham; has had erected at
the grave Of his son, Major Edwin Dilling-
ham, who was killed in the battle near Win
chester, Va, Sept. 10, 1864, one Of the largest
and finest Monuments in the State. Elegance
and simplicity seem to be combined, both in
the design and cutting. 1t is fifteen feet high
and weighs seven tons. 1t is entirely pro-
duction Of Vermont. The marble, Of which it
is constructed, was taken from the Suther-
land Falls quarry, in Rutland and the work
Of cutting and erecting was done by Geo. c.
Arms Of Waterbury. The Sutherland Falls
marble is white delicstely mottled, and ad-
mits Of very fine polish. We think it al
together superior to any Of the white marbles
for rural monuments when we'll executed, as
Mr.. Arms does his work. Specimens may be
seen at his shops in Waterbury and Montpe-

The Herald states that the rebel Brig. Gen.
Mercer has been sent to Fort Pulaski.
One Howell, brother-in- law Of JEFF. Davis,
and three other most insulting rebels were
most soundly thrsshed, in the presence OF all
the guests of the Pulaski House, by Captain
Hussy alone, for making indecent and insult
ing remarks against the President and our
flag.
Subsequently, another rebel puppy received
similar deserts from Capt. Hussy for doubt
ing the ability Of one Yankee to whip four
rebels. Howell and his badly whipped bull
lies we're then taken to the police station.
The Republican says the lesson was sadly
needed, as Union men have been uniformly
insulted Of late there, and the thing was grow

As they already hal two weak ones, il this
one went into operation, that it might be

be made towards locating it before thirty
thousand dollars were secured. or this sum
there is now secured the value Of twenty

shall have been subscribed the committee Of
location, consisting of Rev d. Miner of Bos-

the Hon. Mr. Trssk of Springfield, Mass,
will locate it where, all things being equal, the
interests Of the denomination most demand
it. To expedite the f ling of the subscrip-

is to include an academy Of the very highest

upon which scholarship may be secured may
