We know some Of these parties person,
ally, and always regarded them as clever,

ply because they are charged with an
outrageous crime, it would be highly i'm
proper in US as well as cruelty unjust to
them and their friends and rclatives,t to in.

arc innocent and the trial will end in their
triumphant vindication, and in their be-

THE PRINCIPAL CoUNTERFEITs
in circulation are fifty dollars Legal Ten.
der notes. ten dollar National Bank
notes, mostly on the Farmers and Me-
chanics' Bank, P~oughkeepsio, N. Y, FIVE
dollar Legal Tenders and fifty cent ILLS,
Of the Lincoln and Stanton heads, and a
small amount of Mexican silver dollars.
The silver is hard to detect, the fifty dol>
lar bills are we'll executed but the five doll
lar bills are poor limitations and liable to
deceive no one when closely inspected.
The fifty cent notes Of the Stanton head
are readily detected by the absence of
the red silk fibre, though a printed imita>
ton of the same appears on the counter
foits.
