The only reason why the Jacobins
refuse to allow ten States to be repre-
scented in Congress, is the fear that
they. united s0ih other States, would
then control the action of the Gov
eminent. They don't want a majority
of the United States to rule, and hence
they keep it divided.

The First Trial for High Treason.
A CASE IN TENNESSEE,

The Knoxville Whig, of December 20, says:-
"An important trial came off last week in the
Federal Court. John Z. Gamble, OF Blount
county, was arTaigned and tried for high treason
against the United States, and after five days
trial, was acquitted by Jury. He was an en-
rolling officer during the days of Rebel rule,
and enrolled the conscripts OF his civil district
He was also appointed agent to collect guns,
and performed acts under that agency.
1.-THE defense was that there was no guilty
intent 1t was admitted that he was an enroll
ing officer, and that he enrolled the conscript'
of his district, but it was denied that he did so
with the view of aiding the Rebellion. On the
other hand, it was insisted by his counsel O. p.
Temple, that he was a Union man, that he
accepted the Office by the persuasion OF Union
men, exercised it in such a way as to favor
Union men and protect them, and that, in fact
he never seized a single gun, or put single
conscript into the Rebel army. After the exami-
nation of about thirty witnesses, and lengthy
arguments on behalf of the Government by G.
W. Hall, District Attorney of the United States,
and o, P. Temple on behalf of the defendant,
the jury were charged by Judge Trigg, and who,
after retiring and consulting, returned verdict
of not guilty.
This case was novel and important, because it
was the first regular trial for treason against the
United States that had ever taken place IN the
State, and the first that had taken place in the
United States since the commencement OF tae
late Rebellion, If not for the last forty years. 1t
was earnestly insisted by the counsel of defend
ant that If he could be convicted, three hundred
known Union men in East Tennessee, who had
held this and similar offices during Rebel rule,
could likewise be convicted OF high treason,
while the instigators and leaders of the Rebellion
were sheltered and protected by amnesties and
pardons The defense was based on the broad
ground of not guilty in intent, and not on techni-
cal points. The defendant refused to apply for a
pardon, because he insisted that he was never
guilty of any crimeto be pardoned."

The members of this organization met this
morning at 10 o'clock, in their Chamber, at the
Atheneum Building, Sixth and Adelphi streets.
Nathan Hilles, ESQ.,, was called to the Chair, and
w. G. Haines appointed Secretary. The certih-
Gates of the election of the various Sections were
read. The roll was then called. William M.
Levick appeared as Controller from the Twelfth
Section.
Two certificates were presented, one OF James

motion, the latter certificate was laid upon the
table.
Messrs Cushman and Nebinger were appointed
a Committee to wait upon the Mayor and request
his attendance, for the purpose OF administering
the oath OF Office to the members of the Board.
In few minutes Mayor Henry arrived, and
the ceremony OF swearing in the members was
proceeded with.
Mr.. Freeborn moved that the Board proceed
to the election of President, whereupon Edward
Shlppen was chosen unanimously. Upon taking
the Chair Mr.. Shippen made the following re-
marks:-
Gentlemen of the Board of Controllers: s:-Allow
me to express my acknowledgements for the
honor you have conferred upon me in calling
me, for the third year, to preside over your
deliberations. In accepting the duties OF the
office, and In assuming Its responsibilities, am
happy IN feeling assured of your earnest desire
TO hold up our coordinate branch of City Gov
ernment as a model. and to further the cause of
education by an earnest and active zeal in its
behalf
We see from year to year the noble structure
of public education becoming more and more
firmly rooted in the affections of our people,
and yielding in due season fruits which can be
measured by no financial scale, harvests
of such abundance and great national
value that the crowned heads across the waters
are even now through their ENJOYS sedulously
lnquring into the causes of the intellectual pro-
gress of our people, and these envoys unerringly
point to the Public School as the man spring of
our prosperity.
!. But vet. gentlemen, while we may proudly
realize the truth of all this, we must bear in
mind that the institution is III its infancy, and
still needs teader care and judicious culture at
our hands.
Let us well and duly measure every step we
take, aud carefully avoid hssty legislation, al
waye unwise, and rarely producing the need
ed reform. Let us preserve the good telling
among ourselves which has marked the
past, and II have in any degree earned your
confidence, give it TO me still, with the assur-
ance on my part that will continue TO perform
the duties OF the high Office with which you have
