anxious than othersi few were even ex'

It has been asCertpined that the parties
who live here, aud who were named by
Clair as connected with the operations Of
the PARTY, have before been under sls'
piCIon by certain Of the authorities, but
that, though the evidence Of their guilt

Clair said was Trustworthy to the minutest

were not known to the publ,

been CorroholEted, The case is {
plain one, and will doubtless be- followed
out by the authorities from the G!ueI
