REWARDS AND PUNISHMENT. T.-Suppose
Sheriff Brennan has offered a reward Of five
thousand dollars for the apprehension of
Henry w. Genet, and the latter should happen
to fall into the hands of some one who is pre-
pared to return him to the custody of the
Sheriff, could he not in sporting parlance,
''see' that five thousand dollars and "go
something better TO be released? If money
pc the only incentive to the capture of the
Fugitive, it is not at all likely he will be
arrested and delivered up within the ten days
prescribed in the reward offered by Sheriff
Brennan.

rhs Aequitsal o. Ez-M.yor HAN.

Ex-Mayor Hall was yesterday acquitted Of
the charges of malefeasance in Office con-
tanned in the bill Of indictment found against
him by a Grand Jury some time since This
result was reached after o full and patient
trial, in which the highest ability at the COM
mand of the prosecution was employed to
secure a conviction. It is one upon which
a result which he considered SO certain that,
at the commencement of the present triad, he
declined to avail himself Of the privilege of
postponement, although the counsel whose aid
he desired was unable to attend, while, at the
close of the case for the prosecution, he
waived all testimony for the defence and
allowed the evidence on the part of the people
to 60 to the jury uncontradicted, for what it
was worth. The verdict will be approved by
the people. 1t has never been believed that
Mayor Hall was in any manner personally
implicated in the frauds committed by the
corrupt heads of departments who unfor-
tunately held Office during his administration.
No such charge was ever seriously made
against him by those citizens who were
honestly engaged in an investigation of the
municipal corruptions. Political organs,
it is true, denounced him in the
same coarse language which they
used towards the real culprits but this was
only for party purposes, and it is just to say
that their tone towards the ex-Mayor has
recently undergone marked change The
most that was laid to Mayor Halls charge
was a failure to exercise proper care and
vigilance in the discharge of his official duties,
and of this offence an intelligent jury has now
acquitted him. The only hesitation that ap-
pears to have been felt by the jury was as to
whether they could mark their disapproval of
the looseness which had gradually crept into
all official action by verdict of simple
neglect but not finding this within their
province, they promptly declared the accused
''Not guilty."
The verdict is gratifying to the city. 1t
shows that Notwithstanding the extent and
boldness of the conspiracy by which the
people we're robbed of millions, the chief
magistrate of the city had no part in the
crime. 1t would have been q public humilia-
ton if Mayor Hall had been convicted of the
offences charged against him, although they
implied only technical guilt and not moral
guilt As it is we have the satisfaction Of
knowing that although we have been plundered
by bold and reckless men, our chief magis-
trate has not been faithless to his high trust.
There is another view in which the verdict
may be regarded as gratifying to the people.
1t shows that the jury box may yet be relied
upon for honesty, fearlessness and justice.
The conviction of Tweed and Genet gave evi-
dence that an incorruptble jury can be OBJ
tanned who will find verdict of guilty against
wealthy and influential criminal. The
acquittal of Mayor Hall at period of excited
public sentiment proves that jury can be
found ready to do full and impartial justice to
an accused party without regard to popular
clamor.

The WILL OF THE PRESIDENT. According
to the Washington news General Grant re-
mains infexible as to his nomination of Mr..
Williams for Chief Justice. He stated en-
phatically that the nomination would not be
withdrawn, and that he had never contem-
plated such thing. No President ever
talked more about deferring to public opinion
and to the representatives of the people in
Congress, and none ever carried out his own
will more obstinately. This is after the man.
