Morrissey) was indicted
for an assault with intent
to kill. In the April
term of 1849 he was in
dicted for burglary, and
at the same time indicted
for an assault and bat
terry, and at that same
term convicted and SEN
fenced to Jail for sixty
days, having been tried
on the two indictments
for assault and battery
and burglary. In the city
of Albany, on the 18th
of July, 1851, ne was
convicted Of a breach of
the peace, adiudged to be
fined $50, and sentenced
for a term in the Albany
penitentiary at hard labor
in case of non-payment.
He spent nine months in
the Albany penitentiary
in serving out his term.
In 1857 he was indicted
in this county for an as
sault with a dangerous
weapon upon Thomas Fl.
Bulmer with intent to
kill him. In the same
year and on the same day
he was indicted for a
felOniOus assault upon
William P. Conway with
intent to kill him. On
the same day he was in
dicted for a felonious as
sault upon John f. A.
Daget, with intent to
kill him. These last three
indictments were found
while A. Oakley Hall
was District Attorney for
this county. During the
whole of that time and
up to a very few years
past he has been a pro-
fessional prize-fighter and
q public gambler, a pro-
prietor and owner of

resort of thieves and per-
sons of the worst charac-
ter. Perhaps one of the
worst faults which can
fairly be attributed to me
is having been the means
of keeping his gambling
houses protected from the
police. AS an organizer
of repeaters he had no
superior, and at the time
when the, ring was in
power such capacity was
always recognized. 1t is
hardly fair that respect
able papers should copy
his criticisms upon me as
an inducement to public

FRIENDLESS PATTERSON.


II Senator Patterson, OF South Caro-
lima. and the other eX-oiicers of the state
associated with him in the indictments
lately found, are innocent of the
charges, they ought to be able to estab-
lish their innocence without difficulty.
They are not TO be tried by caucus or
hostile legislature, but in open court
where evidence will be allowed Its full
weight. There was vast amount OF
plunderlng going on In high quarters
from 1865 to 1872. The state lost heavily.
The legislature was from year to year,
a nest OF foul corruption. Some of these
men who are indicted must have known
how il was. We hope they may be able
to clear their own skirts. But the tact
that they were Republicans at that time.
and are still so "stalwart" as to look
upon the president as traitor, will not
help them. Ii will be difficult even for
a colored iuryman to see what that has
to do with it, anyway.

THE st. Louis Republican gives the
following summary 0. the latest war
news: There can be no doubt that the
Russians have met with most disastrous

guns and large amounts of ammunition

ian troops northeast OF Pleyna have
met with a serious defeat and
heavy losses. Such is the tenor of news
from Turkish sources. Other dispatches
would seem to impair confidence in the
report of such uniavorable results, but
there is little doubt, as stated, that the
Russians are meeting with serious and
unexpected reverses. The Greek GOV

GOVERNMENT SAVINGS BANKS.
(N. Y. Tribune
Some savings banks are ill-managcd;
therefore let the government take charge
OF the savings of the pople. Such is the
easy logic by which many reach the
conclusion that system of postal say
ings banks is desirable. TO objections
on the score of excessive Capitalization
OF power, they reply that Great Britain
is at least sufficiently jealous OF paternal
supervision by government, and yet the
system has been adopted, and has
worked well in that country. Vast
difference in territorial extent, in the
habits of the people, in the civil service
OF the two countries, and especially IN
the demand for capital. are not taken
into account in these reason!ngs.
