Like him, We are conscious of hav.
ing been just to the accused and just
to the State. With him We feel the
necessity that our decision shall con.
tain no assertion of principle which
cannot be successfully defended. and
We believe we have now placed that
decision upon basis so nnappealable
that the rightfulness Of our judgment
shall commend it to the candid iurist
in every land.
If this court had yielded to the i'm
FASHIONED and Unsuitable zeal of the
prosecuting officer, or had been swayed
by the feeling, natural and spontane-
ons among all good men, of detestation
Of a great crime against free govern
ment and the rights of the people, and
bv reason thereof had permitted, its
judgment to be clouded by passion or
warped by love of applause, or to be
Influenced by any consideration other
than its duty with sedulous care to as
certain the law and with firm purpose
to apply it, it would be unworthy of
the high place it holds in the govern
ment Of the State. 1t would argue a
deplorable state of public morals if it
could be confidently assumed before
hand in case such az this whst the
decision of court would be from the
known political affiliations or antipa-
thies Of its members. 1t would be a
public calamity, the extent of which
could not be measured, if a court
should prevent the escape of an accus-
ed person By torturing the we'll settled
principles of law, applied through long
years to criminal prosecutions with
unvary ing uniformity, and bend them
to the accomplishment Of partisan
desires.
Rather let it be known of all men
that court can consider neither inex
pediency nor policy; that it cannot
shape its Judgment either to realize
the hopes of friends or to quiet the
tears of foes; and that judges ma :
abhor malefactor and yet refuse to
condemn him contrary to law.
1t is therefore ordered that re-
hearing is refused, and that our judg-
meut in this case remain undisturbed.

Trade outlets.

We direct the attention of our mercantile
readers to the following, which we clip from the
Chicago Tribune of the 10th instant. 1t will
be seen that the Western cities In seek
ing outlets for the products of their section. are
giving New Orleans the go-by. and are casting
n their eyes upon South Atlantic ports:
The New York papers do their duty in calling
othe attention Of the business men Of that city to
the DEVELOPMENT of connecting outlets for the
trade Of the West and South. new route ls to
Indies by the way Of Florida. This trade
now goes almost entirely by the way Of
New. York. Its natural path is southwark
by the. Illinois Central and its connections
The West is already the largest CONSUMER
of the products with which the bills of exchange
on London are bought that settle our balances
with the West Indies. TheS,est harbor on the
Atlantic coast. except New York. is that of Port
Royal. accessible to vessels Of all draughts at all
done to equip this fine harbor WIFI the whar Ses
sary to make It d FIRST class seaport When this
is done Port Royal will be more con
yenient for large, part Of TIE country
than New York footrade with Europe, the West
cheaper than 1t can be had of the m,nh watered
New York roads. The Cincinnati Board of
Trade has declared In favor Of Port Royal. and
there seems no reason~to doubt that 1t will,
York This new outlet viii help Chicago as
much as Cincinnati. Every new outlet on the
Atlantic coast gives development to the trade
Of Chicago. which handles the grain and meats
that all the world buys. # this country. Tho
commercial monopoly of New York is nearing
it's end q
