to twelve months imprisonment and fne;

tho vast H.atn Of money ho has l,oart1ed from

No person, however, can Justly place tho

Judge D1opaErr, In his statement preceding

bility where it belongs. 1io was forced by
the law and tho practice to recognize tho
agreements Of tho Government counsel. IIo
could not ignore tho stipulations they lad

Tho responsibility for this practical defcat
Of Justice, for this overthrow Of tho whole

2l5 towns OF France in possession oia libra
~ containing from ten to twenty thousand
volumes, and more than twice as many with
libraries OF three, four and five thousand
volumes. New libraries are being formed
all over the country. and the Debafs express
es a well-grounded hope that, thanks to the
encouragement furnished by the admin
istration, the day is not far distant when
every village will have Its library. Refer
ring to the contents of foreign libraries.
other than those of Germany, the statistics
of which have already been published, the

The sick boy was taken in the alley where
all the justices of the peace hold out. laid
down 10 an old box, straw packed around
him. and then the nurse made q call at a

The ex-rebels, as all intelligent men
know, have been entirely suited with Mr..
Tilden as their candidate. If they had
not been they would not have permitted
him to be nominated. And they are de-
lighted with some of the evidences of his
sympathy with them during aud after the
war, which his Northern supporters are
careful not to allude to. Thus. the Rich
mond (Vs.) Enquirer, a hot Tiiden and
Hendricks paper, says. in its issue OF
August 25th
at is consolation to know that little
truth is ooIing into the ears of New Eng
land voters. A Mr.. Underwood, who spoke
at Burlington the other night, told the
Green Mountain Boys, in the course OF an
attack on the Democracy, that Tilden once
told him. during the war, that every SOL
der sent by Lincoln'into Virginia was con-
stitutionally guilty of trespass, and justly
liable to punishment under the common
law"
