graceful failure of justice in this city than
occurred yesterday in the discharge of Conk-

tice Solomon Smith. He tried the case and
the functions Of a jury. The only
thing he had to find from the evidence was
whether Conkling killed Haverstck with
deadly weapon. What makes the decision
moro reprehensible is the encouragement it
gives to the shameful and mischievous prac-
tice of carrying pistols.
The Commercial says: The discharge of
Conklipg for numbering Haverstick is simply
disgracaful. The case should have gone to
the jury, and that it did not is o public
scandal.
The Graphic says: Il is very easy to talk,
but this young man Conkling has done pre-
cisely what any live man in his place would
have done, and what any men who love their
women and respect themselves will do as long
as the world gees round.
