THE DISTINCTION BETWEEN ONE Ac
CUSED AND ONE CONVICTED.

We desire to make very sharp issue with
the Gazette 1t is this That it is not Just or ft
for any person, and least of all for public jour
absence OF the evidence, the guilt of a person
charged with crime, and that it is further unjust
and unfit to proceed, upon the assumption, to
load the accused person with condemnation and
utter long Pharisaical homilies on his alleged
act.
We raise this issue in reference to the report
cd default in the accounts of Captain Dougher-
ty. The course of the Gazette, on both yesterday
aud Wednesday, is that which we have described
above as manifestly unjust and improper 1t
appears to gloat over the alleged defalcation. 1t
has not been 80 full Of vital energy-it we may
ascribe anything vital to the Gazete-and so
abounding in high spirits, since the election, as
1t is over the presumed discovery that public
official has failed to pay three thousand dollaIs
that he ought to have paid. 1t assumes the
charge to be true, talks of robbery, "crime, :"
and criminal" and is full of evident satisfao-
ton at being able to report the circumstances
which are alleged. We submit that this dis
graces the Gazette. II finds pleasure in the de-
reelection of men in the public service, and it
treats an accused man as if he were guilty
There is said to be deficiency in Captain Dough.
erty's accounts. This is the only fact distinctly
made public. The accusation is known the
proof is not. Until it is, the Gd,1Re should with
hold the exhibition of its Pharisaic indignation
II, indeed,it can, in case where the occasion of
It's neral gush has voted the Republican ticket.
Wilmington daily commercial., 1873-10-24

When we said, the other day, that the inds.
psndent press should point out office-seekers
who want places simply in order to grab, we had
meaning which the Gazette is probably unable
to comprehend, but which certainly was not to
urge that wheneyera person was accused of
crime, he should forthwith be condemned and
spat upon. 1t is true that some people think
this manly course, They always kick a man
when he is down, although they may have been,
while he was on his feet, seeking his favor
There is belief among them-possibly shared
by the Gazets-that kicking mau who is down
does great deal to maintain high average OF
public morality, and that the contrast between
them and the object of their attack adds pro-
digious polish to their virtue. Having never
been conspicuous for uplightness, in compare
son with upright men, their obliquity assumes a
gratifying angle when Joined to one who is, for
the moment at least PROSTATE.

An Opera Singer Gone Mad.

Theodore Formes, the German tenor,
well-known to opera-goers, has gone
mad in Germany, and has has been sent
to lunatic asylum near Bonn. Formes,
it is said, was attached to young lady,
the daughter of wealthy banker from
Indiana. He insisted upon Miss Rey-
nolds becoming his wife without delay,
but her mother was opposed to the
marriage, and she ordered Formes from
her house. He made several attempts
to meet his beloved, but always without
success. He finally wrote Mrs. Rey-
nolds letter, in which he threatened
to kill herself and her daughter.
Frightened, the ladies left Bonn. He
vainly tried to discover their wherea-
bouts, and the fruitlessness of his long
search threw him into paroxysm of ex-
citement, which finally resulted in in
sanity. For days he wandered about
the mountainous environs of Bonn,
without taking any food, and sleeping
in the woods. Some children saw him
lately walking with unkempt hair, rag
ged clothes, and wildly declaiming to
himself. They told some peasants
about the apparition, and the peasants
arrested him. Thrust into narrow
cell there, Formes became raving ma
MAC. Afterward he was sent in the
strait jacket to the asylum.

Gen. Butler III Court,

The long, pending suit of William A.
Britton against Benz. +. Butler was
tried in the United States Circuit Court
at New York. The plaintiff is the SEN
ior member of the banking house of
Britton & Kountz, ,Natchez, Miss. While
Natchez was under the dominion OF the
Confederates, Mr.. Britton's bank gave
customer two drafts upon their New
Orleans correspondents for $15, 900 gold.
The holder of the drafts was captured
while attempting to pass the Confeder-
ate lines and put himself under the pro-
lection of the Union flag, which was
then floating in New Orleans; On the
person of the refugee were found the
two drafts, and they were taken from
him and payment forced by Gen. But
ler.
On the part of the defence it was
urged that the defendant had the au-
tAority of the general Government for
his seizure of the drafts and for COM
pelling the payment that they were
contraband of war, and were turned
over by the General in fact if not in
proper form.
Gen. Butler, testifying in his own be-
Aall, SWore GlldI He Sel2eu lue urdluS us
confscated property, and had made
proper return of the facts of the seizure
to the Government through his subor-
dinates. He denied that he had used
the money fer his own purposes, assert
ing that he had expended the amount
in feeding the poor of New Orleans,
strengthening the Mississippi levees,
and defraying the expenses of his secret
service force. Decision is reserved.

Murdered In his Garden.

Mr.. Philip B. Howard, of Jamaica
South, Long Island, was shot and in
stantly killed by person, as yet un-
known, while near his house. It being
Mr.. Howard's birthday, he had invited
his father and mother to spend the day
with him. About II o'clock ne went to
his cabbage bed, which is but a short
distance from his house, to get head
for dinner. Noticing two men cunning
on his land he turned and was seen to
speak to them. 1t is supposed that he
ordered them from his grounds. From
the house his wife was attracted by
them, and she stepped to the kitchen
door and watched the three. After they
had talked few minutes Mrs. Howard
saw one of the men raise his gun, take
deliberate aim at her husband, and fire
twice in rapid succession. Then the
man turned and spoke to his compan-
ion, and the two hastily jumped into a
wagon that was near and drove away at
full speed. Mr.. Howard fell. Mrs.
Howard ran to him, but he was dead
before she reached him.
DR.. Wood and Coroner Allen were
sent for. They examined the body and
found that Mr.. Howard's left side and
a portion of his breast had been shot
away. Both charges had taken effect.
Mr.. Howard was well-to-do farmer,
aged 40 years. Hewas we'll known and
respected, as is his venerable father,
aged 80, who SO narrowly escaped being
an eyewitness to the tragedy.
