THE GIBSON INDICTMENTS.

Defend ant Tried by n Jury and Found
GuiIty-New Trial Granted but New
er Had-The Prosecution Aband-
Oned.
We mentioned in recent article that the
two indictments against William II. Glib
son, eX-Treasurer OF State, for embezzle-
ment of the public moneys, had been mol
lied, or their prosecution formally aband-
Oned by Attorney General West, at the
late term of our Court of Common
Pleas. As both indictments were on
the criminal docket for the term, we were
not aware that there had been jury trial
upon either OF them. We have since learn
ed from the entries in the Clerks office that
the defendant, Gibson, was tried by trav-
erse jury on one of the indictments, at the
November term, 1859, of our Court of Com
mon Pleas. -..... .-
On the trial the case was managed with
vigor, skill and effect, on the part of the
prosecution, by the then Attorney General,
C. p. Wolcott. The defendant had every
facility for making the best defense he
could, and had the following array of coun-
sci enlisted in his behalf, distinguished
alike for their talents and legal acquire
ments: Messrs. N. H.. Swayne, r. Z. l..
Baber, r. b. Warden and Samuel Galloway.
After hearing the evidence in the case, the
able arguments of the counsel on both sides,
and the charge of the Court, the jury re-
turned verdict, finding the defendant
guilty Of the embezzlement of the moneys
belonging to the people of the State of
Ohio, as charged in the indictment.
But sentence did not, as it usually does
in the case of minor criminals, follow the
verdict of guilty. A motion for a new trial
was filed Dec. %, 1859, and was granted on
the Both of January following. The de-
fendant entered into recOgnizance for his
appearance at the next term of the Court;
at that term he was recognized to appear
at the next term; and so on, at every term,
until at the November term, 1861, by his
non-appearance, his recognizance was for
feited. The forfeiture was respted till the
next term, and that was the last of it,
and of recogniZances on the part of the de-
fendant.
The two indictments against William II.
Gibson for embezzlement of the public
moneys, while acting as Treasurer of State,
were returned to the Court of Common
Pleas by the Grand Jury of Franklin coun-
ty, on the 10Th of July, 1857. The defend
ant is tried upon one of them and is found
guilty by jury of citizens of his own
State. He is granted a new trial, bnt that
second trial never takes place. At last
after delay of nearly nine years from the
time of the finding of the indictments by a
Grand Jury, and over six years from the
time Traverse jury had pronounced the
defendant guilty, the Attorney General of
the State comes into Court and says ne will
not prosecute the accused any further.
Delay is generally as advantageous in the
defense of great criminals, as 1t was to
Fabius Maximus in the defense of Rome
against Hannibal.

Field Day in the House.

Saturday was field day in the House
again for the delivery of speeches on the
Presidents policy. Hon. EBoN c. NIGER
SOIL (Radical), of Illinois, made a most
outrageously abusive speech of the Presi-
dent, the Southern people and the Demo-
cratic party. 1t is exceedingly fortunate
that he has not been invested with the
powers of 0mnipotence; for he would be
sure to visit determination upon the whole
of them. 1t is doubtful whether Republi-
can journalists will condemn the malignity
and bitterness of this speech. If, however,
they hear that Southern lady has spoken
contemptuously of or given a sneering
twist to her nose, or a disdainful curve to
her lip on coming into the presence of a
Republican from the North, they indulge
in indignation that is measured by the
column; and if Southern men shall speak
of any of the Radicals, or of all OF them
in Congress, in a somewhat excited key,
and with profane prefix, it is heralded in
explanatory and Objurgatory sentences by
these same Republican journals. From this
we learn, and the Southern people are ex-
pected to be admonished, that it is perfectly
legitimate for Republican members OF Con-
gress and Republican editors, in every con-
ceivable form of language, to defame the
President, the Southern people and the
Democratic party, but that it is not admis-
sible for them to rejoin. That's the climax
Of audacity.

AaaauIta and Battery.

On Saturday, Constable John Brown ar
rested Charles w. Kent for an assault and
battery committed upon small boy, boot
black, on High street, and took him before
Justice Heyl. The defendant plead guilty to
the charge of assault and battery, and the
Justice, who considered the case rather an
aggravated one, sentenced him to pay fine
of $25 and costs, and to five days confine-
ment in the dungeon of the county jail
The portion of the sentence relating to i'm
prisonment in the dungeon, was afterward
remitted the defendant paid the fine and
costs and was discharged.

Don't Want 10 Hear Any More
SneecheS from 1he President.

The Republican journals, are expressing
the hope that the President will not make
any more speeches. They say that he low
ers himself in public estimation, and pref
udices his ''policy" with the people. If his
speeches have this effect, they should be
glad exceedingly to have him indulge in
much speaking; for thereby the ascenden-
ey of the Republican party would be as
sured. They know better than to believe
that his speeches have any such effect
Theyknow that in every speech he makes he
conyicts the accepted leaders Of the Repub-
iican party with per6dy to their past pro-
fessions and to their constitutional obliga-
tions. 1t is for this reason that they cry
out: "No more speeches, M. President"

The officially proclaimed statement that
Secretary STANTON is heartily in accord
with the President and Numerically op-
posed to the Radicalism of Congress is look
ed upon as nine days wonder by the Re-
publicans. Some months ago we stated
that we had information to the effect that
Mr.. STANTON was then in agreement with
the President, and that the only thing in
which he found fault with the President
was that he did not deal more decisively
with the Radicals.

There were fifteen marriage licenses is

ward tendency; but before the close of the
week all transactions ceased, and not a
single contract was reported. There were
five licenses issued on Monday; three on
Tuesday; three on Wednesday, and four on
Thursday, and none at all on Friday or
Saturday. Perhaps, there will be revival
or an increase of Hymen's devotees this
week, as the season approaches for the pair

Accident at the Menagerie.

At the exhibition of Van Amburgh q
Co.'s Menagerie in this city on Saturday
evening, an accident happened to one OF
the attaches OF the establishment, who was
riding, or rather hanging on the neck and
head of trick mule, whose special busi-
ness it was to throw whoever had the te-
merity to attempt to ride him. The rider
in this case had been thrown off several
times without injury; but at length the
mule by suddenly whirling round, and vi
olently kicking, rearing and pitching,
threw him with such force to the ground
that he was taken up in an apparently life
less condition and carried out of the tent.
We have not been able to ascertain the ex-
tent of the injury.
1t is proper to add that we learn that per-
sons connected with the Menagerie have
asserted the above seeming accident to have
been no accident at all, but part of the
performance. Most of those, however, who
witnessed the scene are incredulous on that
DOint.
