Tom Mcclellan.

Tom MEG chan is not likely to dwell
in peace in Hamilton. He was acquit-
ted, after several trials, but the people
of Hamilton are perfectly satisfied oil
his guilt. Extraordinary pains were
taken to fix u jury for him There are
scoundrels who lurk about court hous-
es in other counties than this of Ham
ilton, whose trade is to prepare juries
The eternal vigilance Of the people is
the only safeguard of justice. There
is no reasonable doubt that Mcclellan
was one Of the gang that deliberately
murdered Thos. S. Myers. There new
er was a more dastardly murder com
mitted. The theory that Myers shot
himself is foolishness. 1t never would
have been invented if the defense Tad
not been driven to desperation. The
gambling den where the murder took
place was crowded. Some of those
| present must have seen the murder,
but they are afraid or ashamed to tell
it. Many believe that the murder OF
| Myers was contrived to conceal swim
| dies in which some of the gambling
crowd had partaken. They hold thai
Myers knew too much for the comfort
of some rings of rascals, and, there
fore, was trapped and murdered. Some
of the witnesses are afraid to tell what
they know. They have guilty secrets
of their own, and dare not whisper
Then there is the gamblers honor, OF
which we hear-so much among the men
ofprey. 1t is part of this code moi
to speak outside of that which trans
pires in a gambling-house. If it is
murder=why, so much the greater the
obligation not TO talk. There had beer
q good deal of ruffianism and blood
shed in Hamilton. A sheriff who per
formed his duty in hanging a bloody
wretch, was regarded as phenome
non. 1t seemed in that case ques
ton whether the gang of criminals
who were organized for mutual protec
ton, would be able to bully the law
abiding people. Yesterday McGehai

Mcclellan.

The people of Hamilton regard the
acquittal of Mcclellan, the murderer of
Myers. at that place, as the greatest
outrage upon justice that has been
committed for many a day. A large
meeting of the citizens of that place
was held on Monday evening last. at
which the following preamble and res
olutions was reported and unanimous
ly adopted, expressive of the sense of
the people of that city:
WHEREAS, Thomas Mcclellan has
been acquitted in the face of the most
incontrovertiblc evidence, in our opin-
ion, of his completely in or actual per
petration of the murder of Thomas S.
Myers on the oath of December, 1870,
therefore,
ResOlUed, In view of the verdict of
acquittal in the case of the State OF
Ohio against Thomas Mcclellan, we
feel that our courts of justice, so call
ed are a failure, and need radical re-
formation and that we will earnestly
seek to secure this object in the com.
SOuN
ReSOiUed, That as a community, we
consider that we have a right to de
mand that the man who is regarded
almost unanimously as the leader il
the startling murder committed one
year ago in our midst, should no long
er remain amongst us. And we, th'
citizens of Hamilton, demand that Ia
shall seek a residence elsewhere.
j. r. NICKEL, Chm.
G. S. SIMEs, Scc'y.
The meeting then adjourned, an
the citizens quietly dispersed.
There is great excitement in eonse
quence of the acquittal of this MAJ
r and it is not to be wondered at Frol
the beginning it has been apparer
that no means would be left untrleC
:, no odds how vile and unjust, to l.
:, this man loose upon the county.
There was too much money in IL
defense of this case for justice to hay
an equal chance. Without the aid ar
influence of money Mcclellan wou
. undoubtedly been convicted.

The Wheeling Intelligencer says
A young lady now i'll with the small
pox in this city, recently received a
letter from a sister in Pittsburg, who
wrote that she WAS then sick with the
smallpox. Exactly eleven days after
she received the letter, the young lady
was taken with the disease. She was
not exposed to it in any other way,
and there seems to be no doubt the
contagion was communicated by the
letter.

The case OF Tom Mcclellan,
charged with numbering Myers at
Hamilton, last Winter. which has been
undergoing examination at Dayton,
has finally terminated. The jury in
the case after being out two hours on
Saturday last, brought in a verdict of
not guilty. There is no boubt but
Myers was killed in q drunken spree,
but il may never be known exactly
who made the fatal shot, or exactly
. how it was made. Whisky was the
origin OF the feud, and to that cause
all the fatal results and immense cx-
Penditure of money and mental grieve
anccs can be traced. Ought not g
trafc that causes so much trouble,
misery, and the least of all, so much
time and money, be prohibited Il
