Ex-Governor Foote got back yester-
day from Knoxville, where he secured
the discharge of Devers, who, while a
Federal soldier, in 1863, murdered a
citizen of Williamson county. Devers
was sentenced to death by the Circuit
Court in that county, after having been
tried by a military commission and par
doned from Washington. His case was
pending in our Supreme Court. Judge
Trigg ordered his discharge on the
ground that the pardon fully covered
the case, and that he could not be tried
twice for the same offense.

THE Washington Patriot in referring
to the late defalcations, suggests that
looseness in the conduct of public bust
ness and the prolonged absence of the
President and Cabinet from the capital
are the chief causes. With ordinary
care and supervision, they conld not
possibly have occurred. Since the first
of June, and even before that time, the
affairs of this great Government have
been entrusted to the hands of subordi-
mates, without responsibility to the pub
lie, and with the worst examples before
them. This criminal neglect has been
followed by its natural consequences.
But the revelations that have accident
alS come to light, are only the first
tokens of an epidemic, whichis destined
to spread over the whole country.
