The Case of John C. Braine

Application was made to Judge Benedict
in New York some weeks ago to admit
Lieut.. John c. Braine, of the late Confede-
rate navy, to bail The Judge, on the Esd
ult, refused to grant the application
He said, having considered the applica-
ton, which was to admit the defendant TO
bail in a small sum, ne had to say that the
prosecution is founded on an indictment for
murder. The defense is that the offense was
committed while the criminal was acting as
one Of the Confederate rebel navy, the Of
fense charged being the murder Of an Off
Ger of the Chesapeake, a steamer plying at
the time between New York and Portland.
The accused has been in confinement many
months, and the application now is TO admit
him to bail in a small sum, on the ground
that he is unable to procure witnesses to
prove in his behalf that he (Braine) was
/ acting in the matter of the Offense charged
under regular commission. 1t was notvery
clear from the afidavits put In on the part
Of the defendant how his release on bail
would enhble him to procure the attendance
| of witnesses. The court, however, would
/ be inclined to accept the bail in a sum that
would insure the defendants attendance on
! the trial, but he did not feel justified IN ad-
mitting party charged with murder to
( bail in the small sum named IN the apphca-
ton He would therefore deny the motion
/ with liberty to renew the application when
ever it should be made setting forth an
amount Of bail to insure the attendance oil
the prisoner to take his trial whenever the
case MIGHT be called on

The KeHtucEfan, printed at Paducah, re
fers to Sugar Tom
Sugar Tom. sometimes called Tom IIamil-
ton, of Memphis, is a candidate for Congress,
to represent the State at large. As indicated
by his vulgar appellahou, Tom is a sweet
scented cuss 80 called in allusion to bis
activity as Confederate States baiiiH or Pro
vost Marshal in seizing sugar under instrHc-
tions from Confederate States authorities IN
1861. He was then n vigorous, active rebel,
and so sore are Toms sensIHillaes, because
Of the frequency of reference to this episode
IN his history, that he always refuses sugar
IN his n, and takes whisky as be does kadI-
cal chain lightning, straight" Tom IS now
an active member of the Chicago Conven-
Eon. He is a vain, halfeducatedi noisy
impudent fellow, g ft associate OF Logan
and Stokes. Tom never was negro trader
till after the war. He now has his negro
shambies, designated, IN respect to Greeley
! and the rest, as Loyal Leagues, wherein
/ black voters are gathered for bargain and
/ sale.

Rich SILVER MINEs.-We have learned,
says the Athens Post of the 22d ult., that
some rich deposits of silver ore have recently
been discovered in Monroe county, near the
North Carolina line. We are not at liberty
at present to give the precise locality, or the
name Of the fortunate owners, The
original possessors of this section, the Chero-
KEGS, bad tradition among them, almost
as old as their ancestral hills, that silver in
immense quantities existed at several points
In what is now Monroe and Blount counties.
Searches and explorations have frequently
been made, and it is thought that our friends
in Monroe have at least struck one of those
rich deposits

ANOTHER ECARE-The New York WorIGs
Montreal special reports the utmost con-
,sternation and alarm in consequence of the
receipt of information of gathering bodies
OF Fenians at Buffalo and St. Albans. Vol
unteers along the frontier were under arms
all day in anticipation of an invasion. A
battery of royal artillery was ordered to
the front. Barracks for 10000 troops were
erected at St. Johns. Two companies of
the City Guards have gone there. 1t is ru-
mored that many of the volunteers are Fe-
mans, and are ordered by O'Neil to fire on
the officers when engagements occur. Four
of the British soldiers have deserted from
! the garrison at Prescott.
