ACCUSED.
Mr.. Horace Resley, clerk of the circuit court
for Allegany county, Md, publishes a card in
the Allegarian, in which he answers the impu-
tations thrown upon his oficis conduct by the
Cumberland Times, which cost the editor Mr.,
Clary, his life. The Times charged Mr.. X esley
with allowing talesmen summoned from Iona
coming $3.50, whereas they were only entitled TO
>'.l5. Mr.. Resley shows that these persons were
by law entitled to $50, which they received
The Times asserted that the talesmen from Mt.
Savage were not paid at ali. Mr.. Resley shows
that the court refused to allow them paw and
mileage when they were discharged, but subse-
quently reconsidered the order, and those of
Ihem who have called at the clerks Office have
'eceiyed their certificates. The Times also
charged that the mOrey for the Homecoming iu-
Iols had been handed over to Mr. Patrick Mnl-
Zen, satellite of the present incumbents for
lisnlbution. Mr. Resley emphatically denies
the charge. He makes no allusion, however. to
me tragic affair which grew out of this most
unfortunate publication.

10 THIS card 1--WE can see nothing in il that

the prisoner was sentenced % four years IN the
states prison st hard labor.
TIE SENTENCE.
Judge Davis, in passing sentence, said: Gin
rendering this verdict, Stokes, the jury have
exhausted, and more than exhausted. all the
m -rcy in your case. No appeA 10 this court can
diminish the sentence from the highest penalty
ahNd by the statute in the degree in which
you are convicted, and that is too light and APP

that sentence cannot be more adequate 10 the
crime whieh rests upon your guilty head The
sentence is that YOU be imprisoned at the state

OF deputy sheriffs, his opinion as To the verdict

business. This privilege has been abused aud
he has used il to declare his deter mination that
he intends 20 save Stokes from the ignominv of
capital punishment. The phrsssosOgy he has
used has not been 80 refined this, but that has
been the meaning Of what he has said. Deputy
Sheriff French, who has had this juror in
charge, states that he and the Juror visited Bry-
ants Mnstrels, the Fifth Avenue Hotel, Reddy
the Blacksmith's, Harry Hills, and other nota-
BILE places where convivial parties congregate.
In the hearing Of a miscellaneous company tn

certain kind OF verdict. This fact has been
substantlsted on the testimony OF more III an

DIVORCES IN MAINE-The Augusta Journal
says that in Maine divorces are steadily on the
increase, the marriage tie seeming % grow less
and less sacred. IL adds: ain Kennebec county
are not ready for trial, the time il devoted 10
the legal separation of man and wife. There
are many cases now pending. In Cumberland
we understand that eighty cases arc pending
and the court that has recently adjourned in
York granted twenty-five divorces. And so it
goes all over the state. We have no doubt thai
very many OF these cases are FASTENED by a mu-
tusl desire Of the parties 20 separate-the natu-
raj sequence of marriages hastily contracted.
drunkenness, cruelty, and desertion come in
for their full share in Fastening divorces, and
ought TO have their due weight in determining
there cases, but still a vast number of divorces
are granted for causes that are trivial, aud that
ought not to lead TO the sundering of the mar
rage relation. Were IL not 50 easy a matter 70
procure divorce, half the grievances that are
assigned would be settled without an appeal 70
