CRIMINAL CouRT-Chicf Justice Cd,tisr-This
court met at 10 O'Clock yesterday:
THE CASH OF SAMUEL STRONG,
The case of Strong, arrested on a military and
also on civil rcquisition from Virginia, was
again before the court yesterday, and was again
postponed until this morning.
Soon after Judge Cartier took his seat upon
the bench, the District Attorney said be did not

was insufficient. while he did not doubt Its
sufiicicney, yet II the Court thought otherwise

framed As to meet the views OF the Court.

think that the question as TO whether or not this

The district Attorney was moved merely BY A
sense Of duty In desiring to have q full adjudica
ton OF all questions at issue as 10 this important
matter Of acquisitions. lie wanted not to perse.
cute any man, but to vindicate the law, And for
this purpose he wished to have the papers pre-

The District Attorney thought that when an

The court said that the fact was evident that
the defendant never meant to, and never did fee
from Justice. The trouble In these cases was
to surrender upon their requisition merely with
out any other evidence of auilt. Political CON-
sideratlons had done much to becloud this sub
ject, and nothing In regard to II seemed settled
except that the party demanded should have fed
from Justice. As soon as additional authorities
upon the subject had been placed In his hands he
them, and would postpone the case until that
time.

Shabby rr.ss..-~t Of @ soldier.

We announced some over two weeks ago,
that Mr.. J. q. Davis had been appointed Post
master at Rochester. N. H.. which Is one Of the
principal towns on the border Of this county,
joining Lebanon and Berwick. Mr.. Davis, who
Is York county man, received his appointment
and forwarded his bond. Il seems that he has
intimated more than once. however, that Gen'l
Grant would make good President, and that
he would command almost the universal sup
port Of returned soldiers. This was seized upon,
and two or three rank copperheads Of Rochester
posted of to Dover, on the recent visit Of Sim
clair, the ooppcrhcvd candidate for Governor, TO
that city. and read him lecture for recon-
mending Davis, whom they calleda "shaky con-
SENTATIVE" an "uncertain shoulder-strspped
euSs," who had never done anything for the
party, anyway, and who had intimatsd that he
should vote for Grant II he was nominated.
That was enough. Sinclair Immediately sent
word to the afflicted A. J. and the trembling
Randall. that they better "hold up on Davis"
The copperhesds Of Rochester arc chuckling,
and the rankest Of their number d expecting
daily commission with the bold signature Of
Alexander.

member Of the House Of Representatives should
have an estate Of the value Of one hundred
pounds, one-half which 10 b freehold, and the
other half. or $50. might be personal property.
In 1850, though Il was dead letter long before,
H. provision was stricken out. In the conven-
ton Of that year was farmer from the county
Of Grafton. where reside. and this question be-
ing under discussion he said "Under this 10
quirement man, to be eligible to seat In the
House, must own Ave hundred dollars, and ono
half may be personal property. He may have .

The way fheu IoM
We have received copy Of the Savannah, Ga,
advertiser. from which We make few extracts.
In i,s editorial Of the 10th uls, on impeachment
Il says:
"Thc President, under the ban Of impeach-
ment, sits easily In the White House and keeps
",he even tenor Of his way - the Radicals drunk
with imaginary success and kwless power, en-
10y their seeming success and exult over the It'd
Ings Of saivos Of triumph, fired by the msdmen
of their party In various portions Of the coun-
try. every gun which tolls the knell Ofs dying
nation.
In the meantime, the thick-headed Grant,
whose want Of truth and good faith Is only
equalled by his short sighted stupidity, express
g himself with IN arrogance Of power, which on
ly too well evinces the depth Of degradation into
which the Republic has fallen.
Can anything be wanting to show how immi-
nently the liberties Of the people are jeoparied,
unless the masses ofconservstism raise In their
power and crush the lawless powers, military
and civil, which are thus encrosching day by
day ON all that was once most dear and precious
The expressions Of Gen. Grant point 10 mill
tsry depotism and while We would prefer even
that to the present oiious despotisn Of an I'M
scrupulous and yillainous Cougrrss, or in fct
would accept any form Of government which
would bear equally on all parts Of the country
without any sectional discrimination, still, five
are to have shoulder-strapped King, we would
wish some man Of mind and address like Han
cock or Mcclellan or Thomas. and not vile
combination fmean whiskey and stale tobacco
smoke, such rs compose three-fourths Of the
mind and person Of the owl-like Ulysses.
II Is hard to form any opinion Of the time to
come but II the examples Of history are to be
any guide rs to the present state Of affairs, We
are certainly on the verge ofa most disastrous
time. One thing Is evidently plain, that the
President. the last champion Of conservatism,
must be sustained, or night Of the darkest des-
potism and tyranny comes down upon the Tor
tunes, the destiny and the government OF tho
