-THF horse thief, under the as
sumed name of Mouton, who was
tried here at the Spring Term of the
District Court, and by sthe law and
evidence" the clearest case for a So
journ of seven years at Baton Rouge
at the States expense, and who was
acquitted by the jury, has travelled
on in his evil ways, come to grief,
and few weeks since was hanged by
the authority of Judge Lynch. This
occurred in Texas, and plainly shows
that our kind-hearted jurymen here
think more lightly of such indiscre-
tons than the Texans, and must, in
some respects, be considered amen
able for the tragic end Of the afore-
said horse thief.

ALL things considered, the Ma
ryland Democrats in Convention at
Baltimore have done their work we'll.
The platform adopted yesterday
takes a good many words to say a
few simple things, and has a tariff
plank which is as needless as it is
meaningless; but in most other re-
spects it IS sound enough to bear the
weight of an honest party. 1t is a
good deal that the dominant political
organization in Southern State
should take such a. high stand against
imitation and subsidies, in favor of
an early resumption of specie pay
ments and in commentator Of the
