OF the Il enosha TELEGRAPH We believe
the paper ,has i beer published thirty
years. without missing number. In its
proprietors it has undergone many chan
ges and perhaps adversities. Of the thir-
ty years, we have been part proprietor
for nearly ntBo years, proprietor for
nearly a year and eight months, and
have had the editorial control for just
one year and two months to-day We
took The editorial responsibility without
a days, without an hours experience or
prepagatienfor the business. Arduous
as the.3a,5ors Of editing and publishing
the 1'EnFGRAPH have been, they have
been nothing compared with the labois
which never should have become .nccessa-
~, atIsil9 from former connections with
Che TELEGRAPH. Under the circumstan-
ces, we havedone the best we could. We
have'aifned to make the TELEGRAPH a
good paper, and to make it entertaining
and Useful to its readers. We are CON
scious'of its imperfections-more con.
scious of them than any other person can
be- But, with all its imperfectiops, we
believe it to be better than it has ever
been before What it has been, and is
now, we leave to the judgment Of its
readers. OF what it IS to be, We shall

opinion as to the guilt or innocence OF
Mcfarland. Some of them never read
the papers and had never heard of the
case. They were intelligent enough to as
certain the voice of the people-the ma
jority of the people-by whom they were
surrounded. The voice Of the people had
decreed the acquittal of Mcfarland be-
fore he was put upon his trial. The
voice of the people is the voice Of God.
And the court and jury were Instruments
in the hands of God to carry out His de-
crees The jury found Mcfarland not
guilty and the court discharged him.
Thus endedlthe trial of Daniel McFar
land for the murder of A. D. Richardson.
But the end is not yet Discussions
arising from it are but just commencing
Marriage, divorce, criminal juris prudence,
and amenibility, must all be examined
anew. For the present, we win only gay
that we are rot sorry that Mcfarland has
been acquitted. We shonld be sorry to
have had him, convicted aud executed.

Trial OF Dauiel Mcfarland for the
Murder of A. d. Richardson

OF this renowned and exciting trial
the TELEGRAPII, till now, has said moth
ing, except to notice that the trial was in
progress, and that it was concluded, and
Mcfarland acquitted. And even now, we
have but little to say. Not so with other
papers generally. They have teemed
with reports OF and articles about the
trial. The best article which We have
seen appears in the TELEGRAPH to-day,
from the New York Standard We COM
mend it to careful reading
We believe Mrs. Mcfarland to lave
been q virtuous woman and true and
faithful wife, unit she had sufficient cause
for separation from Daniel Mcfarland
and dissolution of her relation to him
of wife. We believe that her separation
was great trial to her, and that she, like
other women under similar circumstances
huctuated in her feelings and somewhat
in her course of action, We believe that
Mcfarland was shiftless, visionary, in.
temperate, ,icentious, i'll -natured, abusive
and sometimes violent We believe Rich
ardson was virtuous, sympathetic, impul-
sive and imprndent. --Imprudent in pro
posing marriage when he did to Mrs
Mcfarland. and still more imprudent, in
publishing his intention to marry hel
whenever she obtained divorce from
Mcfarland. M
The trial lasted twenty five days, and
is generally spoken of by the press as q
farce. The New YORK Standard charac.
terizes it as town-meeting with theatri
cal accompaniments. We regard it as q
disgrace to civilization and jurisprudence
AS an outrage upon the forms and the
name of justice, SO great that . it must
become reactionary and ultimately result
in good. Mcfarland was acquitted, but
neither court nor jury could tell tn.
grounds upon which he was acquitted
He killed Richardson He shot him and
tried 20 kill him two years before
During the two years, he frequently
threatened to shoot him. He had long
premeditated killing him, and clearly
with malice prepense.@ He may have
been frenzied at the time of killing, at
the time of attempting to kill, and at
the times of his saying he would shoot

THE HARBoR. The dredge is busily
engaged in taking the loose sand out Of
the harbor. The work was commenced
at the outside of the bar along the south
pier and the sand has been tgken out so
as TO leave depth of twelve feet of water.
In week or less, boats of the largest
size with full load will find no difficulty
in coming in or going out of the harbor.
Before boats now loading at Buffalo can
reach Kenosha the harbor will be in q
condition to give them entrance and exit
without let or hindrance. So we would
say to all boatmen, come on and the har-
Dor will be ready for you.

+ DELIVERY OF FREE PAPERS THROUGH
THE PosT OFFIcE.-An impression with
Post Masters has been somewhat prevail
ent for some time that Post Masters were
not required by law to deliver newspa-
pers to subscribers through the Post Off
ces IN the cities or villages where the
papers are published The reason assign
ed was that the Post Office was not paid
for the delivery. 1t was only necessary
for Post Master, having this view of the
Post Office law, to assume that the paper
had abused him to justify himself in re-
fusng to deliver the paper, thus offend
Ting, through the Post Office, to the sub
scribers. Where the Post Master was
the editor and publisher Of a competing
paper it was not very difficult for him to
feel himself abused. The Post Master at
Waukc gan-editor and publisher Of the
Waukegan Gazette feeling himselfabused
by the Waukegan Patriot refused to de-
Ito subscribers How great the provoca-
tioa was we know not. Of this we felt
IS tisfied from the beginning of the con
troversy, that n" proyocation could Just
ify the Post Master In refusing to deliver
the PARROTS through the Post Office,
much less provocotion arising from the
relation of the Post Master rs Post Mas
ter, or as editor and publisher, to the
Patriot - sa ot siHs Il 81
The Patriot took an appeal to the Post
Master General who decided that the
Post Master was required by law to de-
liver the Pctriots through the Post Office
| We take the following on the subject
from the Waukegan Patriot,
The difference between the Patriot and
the Post Office in this city has resulted
| as we i0timated in our last issue that it
probably would. ~,
The amended Postal Laws of 1868
clearly and implicitly state that it is the
duty OF postmesters to distribute, in cit-
ti@s and towns where published, all weekly
newspapers addressed to regular subscrib
ers, free Of postage.
The Postmaster General has referred
Slr. Cory to this law, and he has notified
us hat the Patriots would be distributed
at his office the same as before this diff
lculty arose, Our city subscribers who
have been accustomed to geceive their
Patriots at the post office Except those
whom we have transferred to carriers
llsts) will, therefore, please call for them
there hereafter. a
: AS Mr.. Cory has stated in his paper
that he had been prompted to refuse to
deliver the Patriot through his office
because We had made personal attack
upon him, we take this opportunity tc
disavow any such intention We have
simply spoken of Mr. Cory in his official
capacity, and concerning his acts as q
: public officer in manner which it i:
E both the privilege and the duty of a pub
t lie journal to do, and we have not intend
8 ed our remarks to have any other bear
ing.
Fhe difficulty which has required tht
intervention of the Postmaster Genera
!, for It's solution, has brought all parties t.
! a better understanding Of the law in thu
case, and we believe to better under
e standing of the relative positions occu
. pied by each other.

We are pleased to observe that Il
good feeling prevails between the
planters and the freedmen, and that
the idea entertained formerly by the
latter, that the interests of the two are
antagonistic, has been nearly oblitera~
ted by the general fair dealing they
have received. It is a good omen Of
the future which not even the teachings
of a few thievish incend iaries have
been able to forestall.

designed making up club for this ex;

more explicit, we will now state that
the Farmer is published at Memphis,

tons upon Farm work, Answers to
Queries, The Farm, Stock. Orchard,

an attractive exhibit, which, we can

the Farmer, as may be inferred from
the fact that its circulation has increas.
cd within the past year to 10000 copies.
Persons wishing to subscribe to the

In this connection, we refer the
reader to an article. in another colum n,

reply to certain charges made against
the Carolina Company by Northern
print. This Company has had fine
SUCCESS in North Louisiana, having
secured great many policy-holders,
without in any instance having failed
to comply with its obligations. Our
investigation into the charges brought
against the Company satisfies US that
its policy holders are perfectly secure
and that the @ ompany is in prosperous
condition.
