which terminated last night in ver.
dict of guilty,..w conducted with d
vigor and ability which reflect the
highest credit on the District AttOt

confidence of the people in the eff

judiciary.
The defense was an exceedingly able,
ingenious and eloquent one, being con-.
Quoted by three or four of our ables
lawyers. 1t has heretofore been re.

in this city, and the defendant in this
case had the support of large mum.
Der Of friends, and of supposed large
means. Nevertheless, a verdict Of
good and intelligent citizens, charged
by a Judge who seized and expounded
thepoints of law applicable to the facts
with great clearness and elaboration,
has determined that he embezzled and
defrauded the depositors of the bank
of which he had charge.
1t is an incident worthy of record
and mention, as calculated to produce
a most wholesome effect in arrestng
the spoliations and frauds which have
been SO extensively practiced in this
city by banks and other trustees Of

There is an Honorable A. j

lana from Claiborne Parish, and
there is an Honorable A.. J. Lewis
in she Legislature of Mississippi,
from Claiborne county. We vi
derstand that the louisiana Lewis
is tombstone man. Years ago our
Lewis dealt also in monuments and
marble. This is a remarkable tissue
of condolences in names, residen-
ces and professions, but ii don't
stop here. Both the Honorable
Lewises are lawyers, both married
men, and both Democrats, and both
poets and orators. And their inspira-
tions frequently take precisely the
same shoot. A remarkable instance
of identity in the intellectual waves
which pass over these Solons occurs
to us of very recent date Last
week the Mississippi A. J. introduced
IA bill for the relief of Married Men,
and, In order to secure its friendly re-
ception and passage, he clothed the
sections in poetry. The bill was print
ed in THE COMET on the 18th, begin
ing:
"Be it by the State of Mississippi en-
enacted" etc.
And the Louisiana Lewis, two days
after, had an attack of the very same
nature for the Married Men Of our
sister State, and presents in the City
