The CASE oF SrANGLER learn
that an earnest effort is to be made,
now that the tumnlt and excitement
Of the elections are over, to press up
on the attention Of tie President the
case Of Edward Spangler, prisoner
Of the Dry Tortugas, charged with the
completely in the assassination of
President Lincoln. Both Spangler's
own friends, and many disintercsted
students of the evidence in the case of
the cOnspirators, believe that the con-
victiOn was unjust, or at any rate un-
justified by the testimony, and the in
trinsie improbability Of such a mans
being concerned in the plot is strong
element in his favor. The present ei-
fort is not for the pardon of the con
condemned man, but for a new trial,
which will give him an opportunity of
establishing his innocence before an
impartial jury. The necessity ofsome
action in the case Of this unfortunate
man has been on more than one occa-
sion urged in our columns; and the
wisdom Of some movement such as
that now contemplated will be appa-
rent to all who have given the matter
a consideration.-Bo Boston Advertiser.
