Revenue Agent Convicted at
Sc LOUIS.

ST. LOUIS, January 18.--The case
of Arther Gunther, x-Revenue
Agent, indicted for obtaining from
Francis w. Schroeder, cigar mani
facturer, 81, 600 as a e ,nsideration
for compromising ID prosecution which
was pending against Schroeder, in
1873, for violation of the revenue
law, was taken up in the United
States Circuit Court to-day. The
evidence showed that the ease was
not compromised; that the prosecu-
ton of Schroeder proceeded, and
that the money received by GuDther
was obtained under misrepresenta-
ton. The jury, after a brief consul
%tation, found Gunther guilty, and the
Court reserved sentence until all the
cases of the kind now pending are
disposed OF, There was another
charge against Gunther Of extorting
$4,000 from the rectifying firm Of
Berrecker Il Engelke, in 1871, as an
inducement for him to obtain the re-
lease Of their house, which was then
under seizure for %defrauding the Gov
eminent, but the evidence on this
charge was not received because the
indictment called him a revenue
agent, hereas, at th5t time be was
only a Government detective. The
prosecution was conducted by Dis
trict Attorney Reddrick.

WE confess no sympathy with that

of this Centennial year, would force
amnesty on a few cor of defiant
rebels who will not avail themselves
of the lenient law by which they a
be speedily pnnOplied with full citi-
zenship, and restored to rights and
privileges which they wantonly aban-
doned.
We believe that it is right and ex-

that now remain on him, and in this

Gus enough 1t is bare ten years
since the war closed, and men are
now in Congress making laws for
the Nation they tried to destroy and

about seven hundred and fifty, all the
thousands who joined in the attempt
to take the Nations life have been
forgiven and restored to citizenship
mot a single traitor has been exc.
cuted for his crime-and there is gen
eral assent that those remaining IN
der disabilities, one man alone excep
ted, NAV be amnestied. Where in tb,
worlds history can such IN Instance
Of elemency be found?' What otheI
nation ever treated its rebellious sub

bellion was conquered the work o
forgiveness began. Sixty ex-rebel,
