From the New York Tribune.1
The young man who ties himself to the

year of penitence and shame. He will
see the party OF his choice trampled into
the mire by the exposure of the most in
famous things ever done under free gov
eminent. As samples, three may be men,
toned: the cipher dispatches. the Chisolm
massacre, and the vote of the last demo-
cratic Congress for repeal of the Resump-
ton act. In every respect and at every
point the democratic party has dishonored
and disgraced itself as far as it was posi-

Blair's AcOuittal.

The scene attending the acquittal of JOS
eph Blair of Newark, on the charge of muir
der, is described as follows in the New York
Times
Blair, followed by his wife, walked from
the ante-room to a seat by the side Of ex-
Judge Ellsworth, his counsel, and the jurors
came in with faces affording no indications
of the news they brought with them. They
stood shoulder to shoulder in front of Judge
Depue's bench and facing the court.
The prisoner was directed to stand, and
Blair arose. The jurors were directed to
look upon him.
Gentlemen" asked DR.. Smith, the County
Clerk, "have Won agreed upon a verdict"
"We have" responded the foreman.
There were suppressed EXPLANATIONS of
surprise in all parts of the courtroom. Blair
turned his eyes upon them with keen glance
of astonishment. That expression quickly
gave place to one of anxious apprehension.
GLOW say you. gentlemen" continued the
Clerk, sis the prisoner at the bar guilty, or
not gulty?"
"Not guilty" was the foreman's answer.
| Mr.. Blair was evidently staggered by the
unexpected good news. For a moment he
seemed scarcely able to realize it. Then his
long pent-up hopes and anxiety gave way in
moaning he threw his body forward upon a
pile Of law books resting on the table in front
of him, and, his face buried in his hands,
cried loudly. Then sinking to his knees, he
rested his head in Judge Titsworths lap and
continued to cry, but more quietly. His
at his side sobbed convulsively, and ex-
Judge Ellsworth hid his eyes, flooded with
tears, behind his handkerchief Judge De
pue was meanwhile endeavoring to bring the
audience within the bar, who had broken in
to loud applause when they heard the YER
diet, to order. The jurors contemplated the
tons.
