Mrs. Lloyd's Trial Closed.

This case has reached its conclusion, and
We express the sentiment of the entire COM
munity, when we state we are rejoiced that it
is disposed Of and the excitement incident to
the trial has ceased. Mrs. Lloyd is now re-
leased from her imprisonment, and has the
endorsement Of a jury of her couptrymen as
to her innocence of the terrible charge upon
which she was tried The verdict of the jury
was such as was anticipated by those who
heard the trial; and public sentiment will
surrender its opinion to the final decision
of the tribunal which by law, has been cloth
cd with the power to finally dispose of such
cases.
The case was given to the jury about half
past 5 o'clock, aud in about twenty minutes
they returned verdict of not guilty.
Judge Keith told the jury that he thought
the verdict was warranted by the evidence,
and the prisoner was discharged from custody
Mrs. Lloyd received the verdict with much
smiling graciously when the fact
was announced that she was free from the law,
and proneunced innocent of the charge by the
jury. She remarked to an acquaintance" it
Is just as told you it would be, was inno-
cent, and they could not prove otherwise. -
She remaised at the Jail during Thursday
night, and on the following morning went out
to battle alone, the universities and trials Of
life, without the strong arm Of friendship up
on which to lean, or the counsel of relatives to
guide her footsteps a'ight.
Early on Friday morning, she repaired to
the Cemetery, where her children are buried,
to view again the graves of her lost ones, which
had been disturbed and disfgured by the sx-
hsmation of the bodies. She will then doubt
less again eudeavor to adorn and beautify
them with the same care and affection she dis
played for them before her trial commenced -
She requested of Prof. Tourey the plate which
had been taken from the coffin Of ltte Maud
which was returned to her-whcther she de-
signs having it again placed upon the coffin,
we are not advised. Whatever may be said
or thought Of this unfortunate woman, this
marked evidence of mothers affection, is as
beautiful as it is touching and cannot fail to
move the hearts Of those who respond to the
Affections Of those upon whom misfortunes
have fallen.
The speeches Of counsel in this case were
very able-each did his whole duty. 1t is
rarely that criminal case in this country has
elected more legal learning and research in
its trial than this.-Leesbwq Washinqtonian

The Election.

The great battle is over anS we are not VIC
tori sus. Indeed our defeat is more general
and signal than even the most desponding had
anticipated It is Idle now to speculate as to
the causes. Some are vary apparent and some
are hidden, but the disagreeable fact is con-
frontisg US that there is to be no change in tie
policy OF administration Of the national 90
ycrnmeat for the ensuing four years; that cor
ruption is to continue and 70 increase in the
civil service that bitter hostility and rsleut-
less persecution against the helpless and plum
dersi people Of the South are to be perpetual
ted that the Central Government is 10 wax
aud the Stats governments to wane in power
andindependence. All this the election means
and the future is not cheering TO contemplate.
But one thing at least We can still resolve, and
that is that we viii not desert our principles
or relax il our efforts for their success. Let
not this defeat dsmoralzs or dismay rs. Cur
contest is not for to-day or for ourselves; on
it depends the perpetuation Of free govern
ment and Of complete civil liberty, boons not
to be won in a single fight or to be preserved
without dauntless resolution and eternal vigi-
lance. Our enemies are strongly entrenchcd
in power, aud cs1 be dislodged but with inf
mite difficulty and magnanimOus patience
They resist US with eur own resources Of
which they have despoiled US, government with
them is but the rule Of party, and the burdens
Of government that bear with such unequal
force upon the people, are but the private per-
quisitss and rewards Of those who serve. not
their country, but their party But success
itself may prove their overthrow. 1t will be

The Horse Epidemic in Baltimore

The full extent Of the horse epidemic was
more plainly evinced yesterday than upon any
previous day since it began, because of there
being fewer vehicles upon the streets drawn
by horses, whilst the number drawn and push
ed about by men showed visible increase
The interruption to travel was unchanged
there being no cars run upon any except the
Halls Spring line to barley Park. The side
walks were crowded with pedestrians during
the entire day. 1t was expected that the City
Passenger Railway Company would resume
business this morning, but Mr.. Tyson, presi-
dent Of the company, after a careful examina-
ton Of the several stables, yesterday decided
that it would be injudicious to attempt to work
the horses yet, ndlhereforc announces that
no cars will be rug pm the company's routes
until Monday next. Que horse died at the
stables yesterday, and several others are seri-
ously affected majority Of the sick horses
seem to be convalescing, but with some re-
lapse has set in. They are being carefully
treated, however, and no fears of any extreme
fatality are entertained But Sun, 9Th.

THE HORSE DIsTEMBER.
Rapid Spread of the Disease.

The epizootc continues to spread through
Baltimore and the surrounding country, and few
horses have escaped its ravagrs. The effect
yesterday on business was disastrous, and it
was impossible 10 get transportation for the
ordinary wants of tade Horses and drays
and horses and carts, were in demand every
where, and the few teams unaffected by the
disease were kept busy all the day at high
prices. Funerals could only be sent in part,
aud then only with horses suffering slightly
from the general sickness 1t was a sad sight
to see the suffering animals at work, but it
could not be avoided Milkmen with few ex-
ceptiens were unable to serve their customers,
and the hotels sent baggage to and from the
depots in wheelbarows and hand carts These
modes were also adopted for the delivery of
goods The streets appeared quiet and de-
serted and the contrast in the business streets
was remarkable.
THE CITIZENS PASSENGER RAILWAY.
No cars were run on the City Passenger
railways, except Halls Springs road, aud no
cars will be run on the City or Citizens Pas
senger railways until t"-morrow, when it is
expected travel will be resumed. The horses
of these lines are all more or less affected. The
Gainesville road has forty horses in its stables,
all of them affected On Sunday no cal at all
were run, but yesterday mornin. Colonel Hol-
land, the president, ran in two cars from
Gainesville at and A. NJ, and two out at
and p. NJ, for the accommodation of bust
ness men residing along the line Of the road
He expects to run the same trips to-day, more
on tomorrow, and in few days to resume the
regular trips of the road, most all the horses
showing marked improvement from the rest
and nursing of the past two days.
THE FIRE DEPARTMENT

fiicted, and the commissioners have taken
proper steps to provide for the necessities of a
time Of fire. Ropes have been attached to the
