GOVERNOR BAKER.-The case of Governor
Baker, accused of the crime of perjury in
taking the test oath, has been dismissed by
United States Commissioner Shannon.
Pending the examination of witnesses a
motion was made by the Governors coun-
sci that the case be sent at once before the
United States Circuit Court, which the
Commissioner declined to grant, took the
case under aavisement, and has at length
arrived at the conclusion that If Govern or
Baker had in anywise committed the acts
which we're alleged against him they were
involuntary. Hence the dismissal of the
suit. The evidence was plain that in
numerous cases Union men, ike AIr. Baker
were compelled by force of irresistible
