pressed n preference that Il respite should

icct IF the stay was to afford an opior-
tuuity for the case to bc carried to the
Cuut Of Appeals. jade RArALLO as
signed ~ II reason for preferring that the
prisoner should be respted by the Cover
nor, that in the event of the judgment Of
the court below being affirmed by the
Court of Appeals, there would he no

anew, rs there would be IL stay were
granted. Whether this IL to be taken az

The Court of Appeals ny BIG unable TO
mud any sufficient legal ground ft' grant
in new trial in tho ease Of DoLAN. The
Judges may all believe him guilty, and
very likely he is guilty; yet VIC do not
think he had such II trial rs man ought TO
have whose life is to be taken away.
II is very crcditublc to Mr.. A. Oakley
HALL that he is TO argue this case before
the Court Of Appenli for the poor man
who is unable to make him any pccuniary
confederation. DoLNN is undoubtedly a
thief, and not very improbably murder
cr but we should be sorry to see n man
choked TO death by the cxecutioner in the
city OF New York without a fairer show
for justice than has yet been vouchsnfed
to him.
The murder of Mr.. NOE was cruel and
cowardly; but our intense Indignation at
the character OF the offence should not be
permitted TO weigh, rs we fear it did. to.
ward the conviction Of the man charged
with its comm ission.

II is safe 10 shy that the Rev. Dr. Nrw-

White House, has not been among the ministers
who have preached upon Grantism within the

AMI even the dullest OF his hearers would have
seen that they were one ana the same thing. IT
would have been incouvenieut. therefore, for
DR.. NEWMAN to mention the subject in the pres
ence Of GRANT from the pulpit Of the Metro
politan Methodst Church, especially when It Ia
considered that NEWMAN himeelf has grown fat
and rich as a beneficiary Of Grantsm. True
enough, he has thus shirked his duty; but In
these times, even cereymeD are often guilty In
this respect Here we ale led TO make COM
parisOn and contrast. Students OF history have
read Of not few memorable cascs in which
stern and fearless divines, preaching before un-
rrincIpled rulers and their courts, have bearded
those rulers, denounced their misdeeds to their
faces, warned them to turn from their evil waye,
and urged them to purify their corrupt courts.
Theirs are some noble eEampes q this kind in
the history OF European i6Intries But no such
preacher has appeared during the last seven
years in the Metropolitan Church OF Washing
ton. The Methodist denomination must surely
contain some one man who would not be afraid
to do It, who would be courageous enough to
expose GRANT and the rest Of them To their
faces. denouncc his and their evil courses, and
warn him and them Of the dangers OF wrong
doing. We cannot expect this from the Rev.
DR.. NEWMAN.
