a MALICIOUS OR 1HOUGHTLESS
! PRosECUTIoN.-S between
the middle and last of November, a
man by the name of Foster, who is
at work on the Mississippi Central
Railroad extension, called at Red
wines Hotel, and wanted to pawn
common watch for five ($5) dollars,
with Mr.. Charles O'Bryan the ten
der of the Bar. Mr.. O'Bryan told
him that he could not loan the mon
ey as it would be a violation of the
rules of the house, but that there
might be some one in the Office of
the Hotel that would accommodate
him. Foster then went into the of
flee, accompanied by O'Bryan, to
raise the loan. A man, that O'Bry-
an had frequently seeu about the
saloon, proposed to take the watch
and advance the five dollars, which
Foster readily accepted. On Satur-
day or Sunday last Foster returned
for his watch, and paid O'Bryan
81 90 to redeem it with-O'Bryan
promising to get the watch for him
if he could find the man who had it,
whose face he knew but whose name
he could not remember. In the
mean time the man who had the
watch had called once or twice at
Redwine's Bar to deliver it up; but
the owner was not there to receive
it. Further, il seems that some four
dollars repairs had been done on the
watch, and hence O'Brysn could not
redeem it from the holder with the
seven dollars placed in his hands by
the owner without advancing that
amount which he declined to do
On Mon ay Foster, inspired by
whiskey, or bad passions had O'Bry-
an arrested for fraudulently holding
or disposing Of his watch. The tri-
al came OF before Esq. Person on
Tuesday, Col. Hogan prosecuting
and Capt. J. B. Caruthers defending.
The evidence so overwhelmingly
proved O'Bryan's innocence, that
he was promptly discharged, and
the prosecuting attorney apologised
10 the defendants counsel for having
appeared in the case, alleging that
he was deceived by Fosters state
ments, but was satisfied on hearing
the evidence that O'Bryan was per-
feetly innocent. Mr.. O'Bryan's
only guilt was in trying to accom-
modate an unknown and drinking
stranger. But he is a young man
of great kindness Of heart, and
through his kindness, but for fortu-
nate circumstances, he would have !
been made an innocent sufferer. Of
Charles O'Bryan we cheerfully say
that his character for homes ty in this
city is above reproach. Mr.. TamoH
and Mr.. Redwine, in whose service
he has been since he came among us,
testify to his character as an honor
able trustworthy young man, and |
both of them were prompt in offer
ing him every necessary assistance.
He came out unspotted from the tri-
al, but the prosecution bears the
odium of an unjust, malicious or
hasty prosecution. We hope that
we will never agsin be called upon
to detail an affair so unwarranted
and uncalled for. The character of
young man, like the virtue of wo-
man, is above all price, and the man
who will ruthlessly or hastily assail
it deserves unmeasured censare.

A FALSE ALARM.-Bad news always
travels faster than good, and false alarms
are much more easily started than stopped.
For several days past it has been currently
reported that there was small pox in che
family Of 1ir. B. f. Gates, Of this city, and
while there was no truth, whatever, in the
report, yet it has been difficult to stop 1t.
There is not, nor has not been case Of
small pox in Jackson, yet during the week
many good people have been on the very
verge Of stampeding: We warned the peo-
pie TO provide for the worst, on account OF
the existence Of this loathsome disease in
Memphis and other places I'm West Tennes-
