The Yocum Trial.

On the 25th ult, the case of the
State We. Yocnm, Treasurer of Fair
field County, was tried before Judge
Northrop. The charge against him
was breach of trust and larceny. 1t
will be remembered that Judge Mack
oy's appeal to the Legislature not to
appoint committee to investigate
his official conduct, was based upon
the assertion that it was only scheme
of Yocum's to displace bim and save
himselt--that Yocum was guilty of
the gtossest corruption, and if his
judicial functions wero not interfered
with by legislative Investigation, no
would expose most glaring system
OF corruption, and have Yocum con-
victed and sent to the Penitentiary
This kind of argument had its effect
on majority of the Conservative
members of the Legislature, and de-
foatod investigation. To tho contra.
ry, Yocum asked for q committee, and
thorough investigation. John Lil>
ley, negro, ex-member of tho Legis-
laturc from Fairfield County and a
notorious burglar, who was recently
convictad and sentenced to the Peni-.
tentiary for number of years, was
conditionally pardoned by Governor
Chamberlain, to testify against Yo--
cum. The pardon contained tho fol-
lowing proviso, "on condition that
the presiding Judge shall only deliver
said pardon when he shall certify
under his hand and seal to me That
the said John Lilly has testified in
the trial Of B. G. Yocum fully and in
good faith" Judge Northrop ruled
that it was no pardon at all, as the
witness could not testify until he was
pardoned, and could not be pardoned
until he testified, The jury, after a
thorough investigation, acquitted Yo>
cum. Thero really seems to have
been nothing in the. case, and thus
ends the great trial in which Judge
Mackey promised his Conservative
supporters in the Legislature such
great developments of Radical ras-
cality.
