perhaps more decisive evidence may be
brought.
1t must be the wish of all honorable
minds that this case will lead not oddly
to the discovery and exposure of the
guilty, but to the enactment Of laws
| which will prevent or severely punish
offenses of this character Whoever be
guilty in this case, right-thinking men
everywhere must look upon the act as
an appalling crime, wholly ut war with
the safety and sanctity Of the popular
government Fortunately, no comm ;

no party fealty is strong enough to liz

most criminal in this case may not be
reached by the hand of justice, but they
will find no party willing to bear and
share with him the just measure of in
fanny and scorn that awaits them. If
they have failed in their guilty pur-
pose, so they will fail i'll securing the
| approval even of them for whose sue
cess they have done the guilty work 1t
will be small consolation to know that
they have gained by this forgery a few
useless electoral votes, melted an infu-

offending human beings and caused a
few of their own agents to suffer for
perjuries and misdemeanors.

may be found against him When
Judge Davis closed by announcing that
he should hold the prisoner, General
| Pryor put the question as to the
amount of bail The Court said the
bail could remain as air ady fixed, S.

would be accepted At the sugges-
tion of Mr. Brooke, the Court consent
ed to adjourn the preparation of the
new bond until Monday next, at IL NJ.
The counsel for Mr.. Hart rose and
said: The witness Lindsay, in his
confession, had alleged that he, (the
| counsel when conversing with him,
| before the witness testified, remarked,
"That is all you will have to swear
to-" The counsel denied this, and de-
clared that he only said to witness,
that will do;" meaning that the in
terview was ended.
Judge Davis said he had nothing to
do with this but exculpated the counsel
from any charge of improper behavior
in the public proceedings. He referred
to the latter's conduct in securing the
production of th Morey letter and en-
veIoped in Conrt, and the counsel ex-
pressed his thanks for the Courts re-
marks. The Court was then vacated.
EPLZOOT7C AND ITS CA USES.
The causes of this affection have a
close relation to the state and peculiar
tiles of the atmosphere and to the sea-
son of the year The prevalence Of
east winds or rapid changes in the tenn
perature, such as hot close condition
being quickly succeeded by cold, damp
foggy state-is almost certain to be
followed by the prevalence of the epi-
zootic. Additional predispesing caus-
es may be summarized as follows: An

of care will exempt them from it, as it
appears in all stables alike. Few hor-

during one season; many cases relapse,
but one attack in no degree protects
against another at some future period.
