FIsst Trial for High Treason in Ten.
neRSees

from inc hno1F1lle " HhlR, Dec, a1.l
An important trial came OF last week in
the Federal Court. John E. Gamble, Of Blount
county, was atralgDed ind tried for high trea-
son against the United States, and affcr flve
days' trial was acquitted by q jury. He was
an enrolling oi3fcer during the laFs Of the
rebel rule, and enrolled the conscripts Of bis
civil district. He was also appointed agent
to collect guns, aud performed some acts un-
der that agency.
intent. It was admitted that he was an en-
rolling officer, and that he enrolled the con-
scripts Of his district, but It was denied that
he did so with the view Of aiding the rebel
lion. On the other hand, it was insisted by
his counsel, o. P. Temple, that he WIS IN
ion man, that he accepted the office by tho
persuasion Of Union men, exercised It in such
them, and that, In fact, he never seized sln-
gle gun, or put single conscript into the
rebel army.
After tho examination Of about thirty wit
nesses md lengthy arguments on behalf Of
the government By G: ". Hall, District At
torney Of the United States, and o. P. Tenn
pie on behalf Of the defendant, the Jury we're
tirlng md consulting, returned verdict
not guilty.
This case was noreI and important, be-
cause It vas the first regular trial for treason
against the United States that had eFer taken
place in tho State, and the first that has taken
place In the Uuited States since the COM
mencenent Of the late rebellion, If not for tho
last forty years. It was earnestly insisted
by the counsel Of defendant that II he could
be convicted 600 known Union men In East
Tennessee, who had held this md si1nil1r Of
fees during rebel rule, could likewise be con-
ricted Of high treason, while tho instigators
and leaders OF the rebellion we're sheltered
aud protected by amnestlcs md pardons.
The defence was based on the broad ground
ofnot guilty in intent, and not on technical
points. The defendant refused to apply for q
pardon, because he insisted that he vas never
guilty ofany crime to b paxaoaed.

Not long since, respectable house in this

SIC, GOO worth Of American three cent postage
stamps. Ncsszs. Nmball {: Co. telegraphed
to their correspondents in New FORK, askin.
whether the stamps could be disposed OF il
that city. The New York brokers applied al
the city post-otiice for information on the
subject. The offer Of 50 large a quantity
Of three cent stamps aroused tho suspi-
eions Of the post-o1ftce people, and they
communicated With the department at Wash
iugton. The first suspicion WAS that tue
stamps were counterfeit. The Postmaster
General sent on special agent to Toronto.
with Instructions to pat himself In commu-
nication with Alr. Thurston, United States
Consul here. A little inquiry showed that the
stamps were undoubtedly genuine; that they
and that they had been IN the Toronto
exact value Of the stamps was u.s.
certaincd to be Sl0,50. Tie unusual
course adopted Of sending the stamps to

the belief that the stamps were those taken
from the Electric Spark. The U. S. Consul,
Mr.. Thurstou, has obtained, through Mr..
Norphv, counsel for the U. 8. Government,
an Injunction staying the sale Of the stamps.
and proceedings have been undertaken lor
their recovery ns the property OF the United
States. Before that question can be argued,
however, time Will be required to obtain afn.
dayits from Liverpool. Admitting the priu-
cip1e that the United States Government is
entitled to recover tho property Of the South
e1n Confedcracy, wherever found, 1t n,ay not
be necessary to trace the stunps to the ori-
gina1 Federal ownership. II they could be
shown to have been held at one time as Con-
fedcratc property, further evidence would pos
sibly be unnecessary. Indeed that will perhaps
be much easier way Of Recovering the stamps
than showing that thoy we're property which
had been stolen from the United States Gov
ernment. Recent decisions in England, In
the case Of the Shenandoah, and in one or two
others, were based upon the principle that
the U. s. Government Is "hefr.atrlawh Of the
tile defunct Confederacy. It is quite possible
that lack Of evidence or other difficulties mav
