Justice Bcrtholf. of Hackeusack. n. ", has been
severely criticised for putting John j: Berry. who
wrecked the Bank of b crgen County and the Bergen
County SAVINGS Bank. under only Tio'ouV pali'
when the charges against the prisoner was Tor en-
bezzling $4,000. The Justice was atterward m
formed that Berry had stolen an additional S26,oOV
about july ! from the savings bank, ana
he accordingly issued another warrant for his ar
rest on this charge. BeuY's house had been
watched by constableS, aud YESTERDAY morning he
was arrested and taken to the County JAN. lie was
accompanied by his. wife, Joshua a. Clarke hls
father-in-law. w. II. Hail. his uncle. and Judge
Bauta. The prisoner was pale and dispirted. lils
wife brought chair for him. sat down ON ms zap
and endeavOred to cheer him 10y words OF ehcour-
agement. Judge Banta bad previously sent Word 10
Justice Belthof that he would surrender VIC VaiI.
The prisoner was committed TO jail on the thiCe
warrants with an additional bail of S25.OO0: max
ING S35. 900 in all. Berry was placed III the / e.
male Prison as he desired his wife TO remain WIN
him. lie seemed to be thoroughly broken up.

false the rumor hat he had been promised SlO,OoO

Judge Banta for gong on j Iry bal bond was very
strong as he was a Judge IN the Court OF Bergen

Banta is also on the prisoners bond as cashier Tor

STATE AUDITOR.

When that enterprising journal, the
Laudcrdalo Bee, started the enquiry
for Il suitable man for Auditor, the
press III different parts Of the State
promptly answered, and pointed out
the man. Strange as it may appear
he was found nearly three years ago,
and is now faithfully and acccptably
exercising the functions Of that re-
sponsib,e office.
That able and just journalist, DR..
Hunter, of the Crystal Springs Moni-
itor, throws out these remarks on the
subject:
1t must not be supposed that because
the Lauderdale Bee is trying to hunt
up new man for our next Auditor,
that he will succeed in getting II bet
ter one one than the present incum-
bent Captain 5. Gwin. 1t is not too
much to say Of him that no truer,
ADLER, more honest or honorable man
ever held the position. More has been
done during his incumbency to bring
order out of chaos in the land depart
mcnt, and to regulate and classify the
busines of the Office, for the convent
cnce of all citizens of the State who
have business with it, than was done
in quarter of II century previous.
Sherifls and other county officers can
testify to this fact.
We do not think the public inter
rsts are always served by changing
officials. And here is case in which
we candidly believe they would suffer.
Capt. Gwin having introduced impor-
tant reforms in the management Of
the business Of the office, he is the
very best man to see them efficiently
carried out. No word OF complaint
has ever been heard against him-no
cause for complaint has ever been
given. Capt. Gwin occupies the proud
position of knowing that he has dis
charged every official duty honorably,
conscientiously and ably, with an eye
single To the best interests of the COM
monwcalth which he has the honor to
serve, and which we trust he will con-
tinue to serve for many years yet

SENATOR LAMAR AND CHARLES
SUMNER.

Occasionally to this late day there
are found men in the South who at
tempt to east slur upon Senator
Lamar for the eulogy pronounced by
him i'm 1874 upon Charles Sumner,
which was a short and eloquent out
burst of admiration for lofty qua'-
tiles of sterling patriotism in truly
great man who had been Il strong and
persistent political foe. 1t was the
kind of Il eulogy that Gen. Lee would
have pronounced upon the character
of Abraham Lincoln if an occasion had
| ever called il out-the same sort Of
laudation which Horace Grecly would
have given the name and reputation
of Jefferson Davis. 1t embodied
sentiments of true Southern manli-
ness that rose up boldly from out all the
smothering confines of prejudice and
vindictive memories of long and
bitter contest, and went ringing over
the North and West, bringing TO
these sections the gratifying harbinger
of coming impulse in the South,
courageous enough To lift its people
out of the whirlpool of passion, or the
stagnant eddics Of settled hate. Never
were more golden or powerful words
uttered. Never did a man trusted
with high station, and full confidence |
of constituency, better suit the words
to the occasion. Was the subject |
worthy of the tribute? 1t was
Charles Sumner who filled the place |
of Daniel Webster in the leadership of
Northern Senators, and who proposed
early after the surrender measure TO
that body which would have done
honor TO the heart and head Of that
great expOunder of the Constitution.
1t was Sumner who electrified the pa
triotism ofthe country and startled the
narrow of his own party
with the bold declaration i'm favor OF
"thc destruction Of al tags and mot
toes intended to pcrPetu0tc the D'cHi-
orjcs Of the ciCH tCdr." In this grand
conception Charles Summer proved
that he was not only a great but
true and good man. II was, as Jno. w.
Forncy grandly expresses it, stroke
of magnificent magnaHimity the
nroudest act Of his life-worthy Of the
age. and the country, and the great
occasion.

StarLEIlI" College Building a. Card
From Mr. Fucker.

Editor 'ommcruiL, Eicksburg, Miss:
I'm regard to the accident at the
y. X NJ. College, an account OF which
you had among your telcgraphic new $
OF sept. Ith in you paper, ! desire to
say that / have just returned from
| StarkYilIc where | was called by wire
Immediately after the occurrence. at
the request Of Gen. $. d. Lee, the
President OF the College, and ask you
to publish the result Of my investiga-
ton Of the matter.
The down fall comprises not more
tllan one pier ut the north east corner of
the dormltOly building, now in course
Of erection at the College grounds.
The incc-sant rains Of the last week
and half had umdcrwashed the
foundation Of that pier. The wall
beng all fresh, the foundation trenches
open and this small portion Of the
building in Il rudimcntUry and unprO-
tectod condition as yet, it caused the
same to settle, and in consequence Of
which the pier collapsed. Only one
man fell to the ground, but was not
hurt except some slight bruises his
ieIloW-workmcn never fell, and both
are now at work. The safety of the
hulldlhg Is IN no way impaired, and
the whole occurrence would never
have attracted any attention if it were
not for an over Oi1icious telegraph
operator. The amount Of damage
does not exceed forty dollars which
was repaired during my presence
Structures Of such large dimensions
unavoidably meet with more or less
difficulties during their progress and
the fact That although nearing its
completion, not a single instance OF
cVentfuI accident has happened, bears
testimony Of Il careful management Of
the work under construction.
Very respectfully,

his work, when stranger with all

of the crowd. The speech soon caught
him, and lac began TO applaud. At

his hands and roarcd like a fog horn.
No matter whether the speaker "hit

to come down with the applause, and
he carried n good share of the crowd
with him. After the speaker had
finished, and while hc was wiping his
