pie, anxious to see her, thought she
would go back in it. But the Sheriff
had taken the precaution to have an
other carriage drawn up before the
Montgomery Street entrance, and to
that she was almost carried by her
counsel, for she could scarcely stand.
Once in the carriage with them and a
Deputy Sheriff, the blinds were closed
and the party driven in haste to the
Jail. There Mrs. Fair was put in the
room which she has occupied since the
new trial was ordered. The matron,
Mrs. Little, attended to her, and in
about an hour she had regained her
composure; but could not sit up. Her
little daughter was with her and SEEM
ed almost wild with delight. Many
people collected in front Of the Jail; but
only few were admitted to see her.
Much inquiry was made about Mrs.
Fairs future movements, but as she
was again free woman, she concluded
to exercise the prerogative of keeping
Eer own cOupsels upon that point.
Several of the jailers, keepers and de-
putieS, visited her and received her
thanks during her long imprisonment.
The news of the verdict spread
through the city like wildfre, causing
everywhere profound sensation. The
Jurors looked worn out, pale and hag-
gard after their long and tedious con-
flnement. e;-f - Isaciai 80

Mr.. seward liz Lineoln's Cabinet.
The Springfield Republican, in q
sketch of Mr.. Stewards life, says: an
"Few things will put his character in
more favorable light in history than
the motives under which he went, into
,Lincoln's cabinet. We have the au-,
thority of late distinguished Journal
ist of New York city for the statement
that Mr.. Seward apprehended, land with
truth, that Mr.. Lincoln would prefer
not to have him accept the proHered
post of Secretary Of State. But Mr..
Seward, seeing the great contest in
which the nation was to be. involved,
and to which he had il some measure
contributed by creating public. senti-.
ment at,the North, considered his ser;
vices due to the country. He accepted
the post. butnoticed his political friends
that they must except no favors from
him. This was a, fine pointof patrio-
tism-something nobler than Webster
wascapable ofand than opportunity
offered to Clay. In carrying out this
high purpose, this morally grand aim,
Mr.. Seward may have sometimes fal-
tered, he may havedared to temporize,
bat thathe held to it nobIy inthe main,

SIN illustration Of the fact ITSELF we
have heard one or two anecdotes. In
the days when Cameron was holding
his short-lived cabinet Office, he was
teasing the President one day for some
favor, in Mr.. Stewards presence, and
citing the numerous kindnesses aud
support which he had reHdered Mr..
Lincoln. Yes replied the latter, with
his weary, cynical smile, i know, you
and Mr.. Seward here have been great
friends Of mine This was an unkind
cut, but was ofa piece with Mr.. Lin
coins treatment of Mr.. Seward's friends
none of whom, with perhaps the excep-
tion of Charles Francis Adams, were
given Office. One day an intimate
friend of Mr.. Stewards applied to him
for an office, fereign mission. we
can't give it to you, replied the Secre-
tary; 81 has got that, as the reward
for betraying me to Lincoln at Chicago.
We shan't have room for anybody in
the diplomatic service AZ long as those
fellows last 1t was agood quality that
could enable man to go on patiently
! in the harness under these circumstances.
Mr. Lincoln afterward knew his premier
| better, and their association in a com
mon calamity and almost a common
assassination will weld the story Of
their lives indissolubly together"
