AN ABLE AND ELOQUENT DEFENCE
Our citizens remember venerable and
courtly looking gentleman, who occasional
ly is seen in attendance on the Circuit and
Supreme Court at this place. That gentle
man is the one alluded to below BY the
Charlottesville Chronicle of the 5th-whose
appearance ana demeanor reminds us Of the
pure old Virginia stock
cat the last term of the Nelson Court,
Fox, the murderer of Mrs. Harris, was con-
victed and sentenced to eleven years con-
fiEement in the penitentiary. The speech
OF John 3. Spice, Esq, Of this county, it
is said: saved the prisoners life. It was
pronounced the best ever made by that gem
tleman during his long professional career,
Astounding in solid argument, imprisoned
e;oquence, gems of original poetry and tears
OF sympathy. He was warmly congra.ula-
ted by the members of the bar at tile close
OF his mastery effort, and during the deliv.
cry OF the speech Judge, jury and specta-
tors were spell-bound by the splendid rhet-
orc of the venerable orator pleading for the
life of the prisoner at the barr

of Reputation and Dishonor. Better would
be ignorance than enlightenment purchased
at such fearful price. alsd
In conclusion will repeat here the utter
ance of the unanimous voice of this Court in
the homestead cases az Grattan, 301), when
it declared that 'no State and no people can
have any real and enduring prosperity ex-.
cept where public faith and private faith are
guarded by laws wisely administered and
faithfully executed. The inviolability of
contracts, public and private is the founda-
ton OF all social progress. and the corner
stone of all the forms of civilized society
where an enlightened system of jurispra-
dence prevails. Under our system of gov.
eminent it has been wisely placed under the
protection of the Constitution of the United
States, and there it rests secure against all
invasions'' f,.
1t only remains for me to say that the De.
titioner has the right under the law to dis.
charge the fine imposed upon him by the
Hastings Court with coupon ofa bond of
the State, which the State has agreed to re.
ceive in payment Of ''az tares, debts, dues,
and demands due the State,' and that he be
discharged from further custody. fn

PlScatOr1al.

The Russians claim that the sterlet,
found in perfection in the Volga and
other streams tributary to the Black and
Caspian seas, is the most delicious fish
that swims. 1t is a kind of sturgeon,
and usually commands so high price
that Only persons of means can afford to
eat it. The Russian restaurateur keeps
it, as he does other fish, in tank; his
customes picks out such fish as he APP
proves; whereupon it is taken out, kill
ed and cooked. Being served fresh, on
which so much of its flavor depends, it
is very appetizing. In the opinion of the
Nea0 York Times: eve should do we'll
to initiate the Russians in this particu-
lar; for an ordinary fish, if fresh from
the water, is as good as an extraordinary
fish that is a little stale. The finest
caviare is made from the sterlet, and is
counted such delicacy, and is so dear,
that it is generally reserved for the i'm
perial court. Most of the caviare is
made from the roe of the common stur-
geon. Aztrakan being noted for its pre-
paration. Over 100000 pounds of ca
Ware have been made in a single year in
the Caspian fishery. Fond as the Rus
slams are of it, it is not much liked ex-
cept there and in France and Italy.
Shakspeare's phrase, "'Twas caviare to
the general" put into the mouth of
Hamlet, still has significance, for most
persons in England and America have no
more relish for caviare to-day than the
subjects or Elizabeth had in the poets
time. The Anglo-Saxon palate rarely
relishes cayiare."
