The Wash, Viney Case.

The case OF w ASH. flney, lnulcted
for the killing of Albert Almond, in
October last, the circumstances of
which are familiar to our readers,
and hence need not to be recited
here, was tried last week. 1t occu-
pied full three days, and was con-
Quoted with great skill by both the
prosecution and the defence. The
case was given to the Jury on Satur-
day, without argument. They were
out but about ten minutes, when
they returned into Court with ver-
diet of acquittal. This was in har-
mony with the evidence, and the
only verdict that an intelligent Jury,
uninfuenced by passion and pre-
judice, could find Indeed, when it
was discovered that the ball which
killed Almond did not correspond
with the caliber of the pistol used
by Viney, it being from two to three
sizes larger than the chamber of his
pistol, even the attorneys for the
State gave up the case, and hence
submitted it to the Jury without
argument.
This case has excited unusual in
terest in this community, from the
fact that it grew out of the exciting
political campaign of last year. 1t
has been productive of much discus
sion, and many unwise, foolish re-
marks. The Journal was the only
paper in the city that did not pre-
judge the case upon mere e.r parte
testimony. We expressed no opin-
ion in regard to either the innocence
or guilt of the party accused, having
long since learned that there are
"two sides" to every question, and
hence, that 1t is unwise to pass
judgment upon our fellow men after
hearing but one side. In all such
eases we prefer to wait for the judi
cial investigation, and then to sub
nit to the judgment of those whose
prerogative and duty it is to decide
according to the claw and the evil.
dence."
1t was an unfortunate affair. Tho
killing of a fellow mortal is always
a sad and mournful thing. Beyond
this, we had no feeling in the mat
ter, one way or the other, except to
see that justice was done, let it fall
where it would.

THE BRAZILIAN MISSION.

Hon. Henry Il. Blow, the New Minister to tho
Court of Dom Pedro.
The President yesterday signed the commission OF
the Hon. Henry I. Blow, Of Missouri, as Minister to
Brazil in the place OF General James Watson Webb,
OF New York. who has held the position, to which he
was appointed by President Lincoln, since the year
1861. The position is one Of the most desirable in
our diplomatic service, the salary alone being $4,000
year In gold. The Senate regarded it as altogether
too good for General Pile, but as the President had
made up his mind that certain locality must fur
nish the material for this office, another Missourian
has secured the appointment. AS Mr.. Blow is de-
cided Improvement upon both Pile and Webb, he
will probably be confirmed by the Senate next
winter.
The new Minister was born in Southampton
county, Virginia, July 49, 1917; removed to Missouri
in 1880, and graduated at the St Louis University;
devoted himself to the drug and lead business
served years in the State Senate; in 1861 he
appointed by President Lincoln Minister to Nene-
zuela, which he resigned in less than year, and in
1862 he was elected Representative from Missouri
to the Thirty-eghth Congress- serving on the Com
mittee OF Ways and Means. He was also a delegate
to the Baltimore Convention of 1854. In 1864 he was
reelected to the Thirty-nnth Congress, serving
the Committees on Appropriation Bankrupt Law,
and Reconstruction Since his retirement from Con-
gress he has not been very active in politics.

THE FRENCH CABLE.
IL is to be Landed at Cape May.

The Cape May ocean Ware is informed by indis-
putable authority that the French Atlantic Cable
Company will land their shore end at point Of the
beach nearly fronting the new stockton Hotel at the
CAPE under the sanction of the bill passed by the
State Legislature at its last session. A company to
connect with them authorized by the same act, was
organized at Camden recently Of which A. W. Mark
ley, Senator Robbins, AttOrney-General Robson,
and other well-known Jerseymen are directors. The
WdUe adds :-''We know not by what means or
through whose nstrumentality the companies were
prevailed upon to land their cable at this point, but
that every eert used to give the control Of this
end into the hands Of a New York corporation we
are fully satisfied; and though money was applied
the plot fell through. OF course there is telling
exactly to what degree Cape May may be benefited
by thus converting it into an important seaport, and
the grand central point from which the telegraph
will radlae north, SOUTH and west but that will
prove advantageous, and immensely so, the merest
numskull will readily perceive. From Cape May
three main lines will deVate, one running across the
bay to Lewes, on to Washington, another direct TO
Philadelphia, while the third is TO extend along the
shore north Of New York. The steamer having
aboard the cable will sail from France in July, so
that we may look for its arrival OH our coast in the
very height OF the season."
