ment for a few days, as the gentleman
who was to act as counsel for him was
absent. Mr.. Hall agreed to an adjourn
ment till Monday next, and moved the
prisoner be confined in the tombs.

'WereI I the President Of the United
States, would pardon this man, on the
ground that nothing but his vanity took
him into the rebellion" On another ap-
plication he endorsed as follows: This

The New York Eresiug Post has very


remarkable leading article, commencing
upon proposition made by Gen. schenck
to disturb the present basis of represen-

Special legislation for particular OF ex-

by special case, ought to be exam ed
