THE MANHATTAN BANK ROBBERY.
Some months since, during the trial Of John Hope
for the Manhattan Bank robbery. Oficer John
Nugent. Of the Eighteenth precinct. was identified
In the court room-where he was seated an inter
ested listener to the prooeedings-as of the men
who assisted In the perpetrstion Of this gigantic
robbery. Hope was convicted and sentenced to the
State Prison for twenty years. and after Nugents
arrest he srraigned before Police ustice Murray
who committed him in default Of $4,000 bail.
His counsel. Mr.. William +. Howe, sued out In
Nugent's behalf several writs of habess corpus
and was finally rewarded by the Supreme
Court reducing the bail to $4,000. This bail
was. however. not forthcoming. and the authori-
ties not having brought Nugent to trial Mr.. Howe
yesterday served a notice the District Attorney
that he would make q motion for his clients dis
charge at the opening of the Court of General
stons to-day, on the ground that more than two
terms have elapsed since the indictment Of Nugent
and he has not yet been brought to trial. In addi-
ton TO this proposed motion Mr.. Howe has insti-
tuted proceedings in the Supreme Court in Nugent's
favor against the Police Commissioners for salary
due since his incarceration. This case is in the
Chambers motion calendar for to-day.

Once upon time there was a very
old man, whose eyes we're dim, bis, ears
useless for hearing, and his knees trem-
bled. When be sat at the table be could
scarcely hold bis spoon, and he often
spilled his food on the table-cloth, and
sometimes down. his clothes. His son
and daughter in.law were much yexed
at this. and at last they made the old
man sit behind the oven ina corner, and
gave him his meals in an earthen dish,
and not enough either, so that the old
man grew sad, and his eyes we're mois.
tened with tears. Once his hands trem.
bed so much that be could not hold the
dish and it fell on the ground, and broke
all to pieces, so that the yohng wife
scolded him, but he made no reply, and
only sighed, +, After, that they, bought
bim a wooden dish for couple Of pence
and out of that he bad now to- feed snd
one day as he was sitting in his usua

and always take his meals there, snd
they did not even say anything il hs

THE GOVERNOR AND HOUSTON
RARBLE.

Intelligent, sober, industrious peo-
pie of Houston approve Governor Rob-
erts's exercise of the pardoning power
as it affected two alleged knaves Of
that city. All that newspaper uproar
ia condemnation of his conduct sprang
from the vulgar mob that was herded
there to witness the executions. Igno-
rance and vice organized the throng
and gave coarse expression to its bru-
tai instincts. 1t thirsted for blood. It
was denied the exquisite satisfaction
Of witnessing the death ct uegles of
two helpless wretches neither of whom
may have deserved bis sentence. We
have conversed with some of the best
citizens of Houston who concur in say
ing that G G)vernor Robsrts's interposi-
tion in both cases was eminently wise
and proper. But it was very wicked of
his excellency to deny coarse wrstches,
gathered like csrrion birds that as
sailed the sons Of Mzpsh, the pleas
ures of watching in ecstacv the dying
8 ruggles of the negro and white man.
l is said that three or four thousand
of these depraved people enacted furi-
Gus resolutions of censure, and eight
asses edrraled in the grand jury room
wept over the Governors act, and we
can only say that he doubtless feels
very badly about it.
