When Judge Dibb!e was iudict-
cd last spring. for emb. 2z'ement Of
he pnbIic money. Why did not Sher-
man and his contederates raise !
loud on'cry and denonace the pro-
coedi3g os violation Of faith?
Judge D,bbic, we believe, int:;na~
ted that in his view &c prosecution
was a d'pal ture from the spirit o!
,he % called amnesty resolution OF
the legislature ; ba: the idea re-
ceivcd no encouragement ans whore.

was Infinitely moe worthy. com-
vavativeIv. Of confederation and
protection than the returning Of

Gaze were taken almost immediate-
after the ras-age Of the amnesty
eso!utions, and at n tine when the
circumstances under which thosa
resolutions were adopted were yet
fresh in the public mind. But it
never occurred to- Sherman then to
charre he authorities Of Lonisiana
with re. Edy. Now he suddenly
discovers tha, faith has been vioia-
ed. and vexes the weary car OF
he country with prolonged ard
dismal how!s. WY ? Because
he knows shat searching inquiry
INTO the Ru'uSning Boarc. would
show that John Sherman was the
cont,ive, and the srt'ticer Of fraud
