The evidence for the prosecution III the case
Of William Fullerton was closed yesterday.
The Hon. Hugh McCullOch testified that he
did not authorize his special agent, Belknap,
10 retain Mr.. Fullerton, but, on the contrary,
directed the former to report all cases to the
District Attorney, Mr.. S. G. Courtney. letter
from Internal Revenue Collector Z. A. Rollins,
informing Mr.. Fullerton that he was not to
act for the Treasury Department, was also put
in evidence. Further than this there were few
facts of importance elected.
Frederick c. Tapley, Government detec-
tive, was examined on an unimpOrtant point,
but the counsel for the defense thought 1T
I'll, time oud tronble to endeavor to dis
ereo;t hia testimony by showing, on his own
admisa on, that ne Dau l."r-.---ed our
ing the war in the old Capitol Prison at Wash
jneton. Mr.ITapley was tried by court-martial
and found guilty cd several charges Judge
Advocate General Holt, in reviewing the testl-
mopy, declared the convection unwarranted by
the evidence, and recommended that the lnhd-
ings and sentence be disapproved, and the ac-
cused released from custody, which was done.
1t was clearly shown, as judge Holt
states, that Mr.. Tapley was the victim
of ga conspiracy based on vindictive mo-
f" tiyes to effect his ruin, to be accomplished
"by false testimony, and devised by CRIMINALS
"wholly unworthy of belief and nearly all
"sufferers at his hands in consequence OF re-
"peated violations of the laws it was his duty
"to enforce" Without any wish to prejudice
the case now on trial, but solely with the view
of doing Justice to worthy and lOng-tred
officer, we give the above facts and extracts.

We must bring to the notice of Congress,
which has been displaying such commend
able determination to improve its manners and
morals, an incident which we have found in
the report of the proceedings at recent meet
ing of the Town Council of Edinburgh. One
of the members having offended another by
calling his speech buncombe," the offended
party peremptorily demanded the withdrawal
of the word. The presiding officer inquired Its
meaning, to which the victim replied he could
not tell, but he knew it was "deiilement and
can abomination." Thereupon the offender
humbly withdrew the obnoxious word which
he had unfortunately used, and the harmony
of the Council was restored After this exam
pie of Scotch style, we cannot OF course call
any of the speeches in Congress. not even the
usual Saturday speeches, "buncOmbe :" but
alas how many of them are a "de6lement and
can abonination.p
