 Whilst no guilty man, no matter what his standing and wealth, should escape conviction and prosecution, such efforts to blacken the character of an old and reputable citizen should re- ceive the prompt condemnation of all, not only upon that ground but also because, being we'll calculated Co pre- iudice further proceedings m the case, it is an outrage upon the administTa- tion of justice.

The United States Military Tele- graph office has been removed from the old quarters On Ott street, opposite the Presbyte jan Church, to L. C.. Hughes new building, near the resi- dence of Hon. Hugh Farley. The new quarters are a great improvement over the old, being especially adapted for the purpose of an office. They consist of two comfortable rooms, which have been fitted up by Manager Agey in very neat and attractive manner. In this connection it might be well to say that the business of the office is conducted in a manner highly creditable to NIT. Agey and his assist ant, NIr.
