The Conviction Of Mckee.

a St. Louis specia! to the Chicago
Tribune says s3''ss 2.
St. Louis has had her proportion of
important criminal trials, but. no old
citizen remembers any like circum-
stances to the Mckee trial, which re-
suited at ten o'clock to .night with a
verdict of guilty. The trial has. pro-
crossed for twelve days, and during
this whole time, the interest manifest,
ed by the people has been extra0rdina-
ry, until to-day it resulted in, such
throngs in the streets near the court
room that it was with difficulty that a
passage could be made through the
thoroughfares.
The charge to the jury, delivered by
Judge Dillon, was Of unusual length,
and it bore on its face a survey Of the
whole evidence and the able argu-
ments both for its defence and the gov
ernment. After tho evening papers
were circulated, containing the charge
of the court to the jury, but one senti-
ment seemed to prevail, and that was
acquittal. Indeed, it is apparent that
a current of sympathy for the defen-
dant had been setting it, for several
days past, but it was not believed that
such feeling had reached the jury, as
they We're, during the whole trial, kept
closely quartered III a room at Bar
nunls Hotel, which was specially pro-
vided for their. accommodation.
So confident was Dan VOORHEES,, the
leading counsel for the defendant, Of d
fdivided jury or acquittal. that he had
retired for. the. night at his hotel. No
sooner was the verdict announced than
hundreds of persons visited the Globe
Democaat to express their sympathy
for the defendant. It is quite noticea-
BILE all through this trial that the Dem
ocratic politicians exhibit a great deal
of feeling for the defendant, aud this
particularly refers to the Southern SOL
der clement. This is accounted for
from the fact that Mckee was always
personally friendly to this class Of
politicians. i
The defendant was permitted to de-
part from the courtroom on Ills own
recognizance. Several leading citizens
accompanied him to his residence. I,
is presumed a motion will be made fol
a new trial. It is also thought tina,
the verdict Of the jury is defective II
not being more specific. , s.s $50
At midnight there is great excite.
Fment in the hotels and other public
places. Several of the papers have is.
sued late extras announcing the result
and it is strange sound; to hear The
newsboys breaking the stiffness Of til.
witching hour BY their unearthl,
yells.

Riches.

We would all like to be wealthy
yet the man born TO fortune is moi
so happy as tho e'man who has the
ability to. make one. Unless filled
by some absorbing pursuit, life is O
blank. Any profession which re-
wards man for eSerting his facul.
ties to the utmost is, in the long run
source Of the greatest pleasure IN
life.--Wealth alone does not bring
happiness. once observed
otter looking nt tho house Of q very
rich man, that all this wealth only
excluded one evil--poverty. "a The
remark may not be logically accurate
but il points q substantial trust
Downright want of food and clothes
actual physical suffering caused by
poverty, is an evil so great that no
other service which can be rendered
by wealth is equal TO that of remov-
ing it, After q certain point Of re-
lative comfort is. obtained, wealth
becomes o burden. Every dollar
added to ones income gives less
pleasure than the preceding dollar,
for the simple reason that we nat
urally spend our income on satisfy
ing ur most pressing wants. AS
one by one we have stopped up eve
ry avenue through which discomfort
approaches, we have to tax our inge-
nuity to discover new modes Of posi-
tive qualification. As the human
faculties are limited this becomes
difficult or even impossible, except
at the price of making ourselves
slaves to our wealth. i'
OF course, If q man chooses to
muddle away fortune in aims giving
or gambling, there is no income OF
which he may not disburden him
self. We are simply inquiring how
much he can judiciously spend upon
his own comfort. The list of physi.
cal pleasures is very soon exhausted
A man has but ono palate and but
one pair OF hands. Even il he wore
n new coat every day lac would soon
find that an old coat is far more
comfortable aud the most skillful
cooks will admit that dishes only
become very expensive by being out
OF season or by useless extravaganza.
A house of moderate size is as COM
Portable as palace; aud q few
thousands year will provide the
best dwellings, in good situations
When man has rs good house as
lie cares to inhabit, as good wines,
meats and cigars rs he cares to con-
sumo, as many books as he can read
and as many pictures rs he can en- :
Joy, rs much hunting or fishing or
travelling as he can find time for
and can see his friends as often and
in as much comfort as he chooses, he
has all the happiness that wealth
can give him even though he be the
owner of millions. ,5.t;p.f-..i

Custer and his Greyhound.

A soldier who served three years
under General Custer, relates the
following incident which was char
acteristic Of bis desperate and deter.
mined manner: ttr
at was five or six years ago that
we had a fght with the Cbippewas
on the Washita river. the expedition
being led by Custer For q long
time the General had with him on
the plains three magnificent Scotch
grayhounds, by which he sat great
store, and for which he would accept
no price. Twenty miles from the
Chippewa's village we struck the
trail. Itwas in the evening and boz
fore proceeding on the march, Custer
ordered that tbe grayhounds DO
placed in the wagons which were
not to accompany the detachment.
This was done. We took up our
liue of march aud found the village
on the Washita at midnight, the in-
habitants being wrapped in slumber
and all about the camp silent, Gus.
ter concluded to wait until daylight
10 make the charge, and after COM >
manding silence all along the line,
sat upon his horse like q statue
waiting for the first indication OF
dawn. While sitting thus q slight
psttering on the ground attracted
his attention, aud upon looking down
no perceived through the gloom one
OF his hounds crouching at his
horses feet, tho dog having escaped
from the wagon and followed his
master. The Indian village was
swarming with dogs, and Custer
knew il He also knew that II his
hound emitted the slightest yelp
or bark it would agitate The entire
canine force Of the camp, put the In
|dsus on their guard, and probably
|frdstrate the object Of the expedition.
Slipping gently from his horse, he
grasped the dogs throat With both
and slowly and quietly chok-
ed him to, death So silently aud
quickly wps Il done that in the
| gloom that prevailed only, q few
soldiers, standing in tbe Immediate
vicinity peroeived rthe desperate as'
| tiou. 80
With tbe exception Of his last
fight, the engagement on the WASH

and forty six cents of income tax for

and forty six cents of income tax for
tho year 1862 alone. u clf i' .lg,
Judge Sinnot, in his slabored de-
fence of his client or employer,
takes up seriatim the thirteen items
of which tho 7tvses' statement is
comprised. To all Of them, except
tho iast Il 900 rs salary rs Presi.
dent Of a Dry Dock Company he
puts in, for his principal, the plea Of
not guilty. The Times expresses iis
readiness to meet Mr.. Tilden, or his
clerk, on the issues Of fact present.
ed, and shall with the haste which
the examination of a mass Of legal
and other records admit of, prove
that he attempted to conceal PERU.
ry by falsehood, and to hide fraud
by the arts Of tho pettifogger aud
tho shyster." The Times will, no
doubt, make this promise good,
aud show that this foundering on
the part of Mr.. Tilden and his friends
to escape tho punishment due the
former will only sink him deeper in
tho miro of infamy.
The items from one to nine inclu.
sive, in the Times statement are for
fees, and amount to $4,000. There
is no positive denial of the receiving
of this amount in 1862, but it is
claimed that it was mainly earned in
prior years. This is, toagreat extent
an evasion, but admitting it to be
true, the proportion belonging to
1862, the dates Of payments running
from February 10, 1862 to November
Z, of that year, would be largely in
excess of the amount returned as in
come. Item ten for fees, amounting
to $4,000, it is claimed was not re-
ceived in 1862. aud item eleven for
