The celebrated Emma NINE suit
which has been on trial in the United
States circuit court in New York city
some four months ard a half, was con-
cluded, Saturday, by verdict for the
defendants, the jury finding that there
was no fraud, or fraudulent intent, in
the sale of the mine on the part OF
Messrs. Park and Baxter, or anyone
else. We congratulate the parties, and
the whole people of Vermont, on the
termination of the suit, and trust that
the scandal connected Herewith is
now set at rest forever. MIR. Park
must be particularly gratifed at this
vindication-General Baxter needed
no vindication, for no one ever ventur-
ed even to intimate any fraud on his
part, and if it had been charged it
would have received credence nowhere
received at the hands of a New
York jury, especially when the hostile
attitude of nearly the entire New York
press and the great pains which have
been taken, there and elsewhere, TO-
prejudice him aud his case, are remem
