We are willing, nevertheless, to accord to
to Mr.. Ames an equitable set-of of great SER
vices rendered the country, to counterbalance
the great crime against the purity of legisla-
ton Of which he stands convicted, such as
Macalay comedies to Warren Hastings. He
ranks among railroad builders as Columbus
ranks among navigators. But for him, the
Pacific railroad may have fingered for years,
crushing a series of small capitalists out Of

that grand achievement which cannot but
rank among the greatest known even in these

horse jockey shoots his former mistress dead,
and then tries to kill himself; but this is not
bis first crime of magnitude, either. The fel-
low married some seven years ago. In 1876,
there was shifting of relations without death
or divorce, which ended ia his going through
the form of marrying the girl he has now
kiled--then but IA years old. He was sent

been denied the person holding the Office of
Governor, even if held for a number of terms.

torially declined. 1t is conceded by all that
