L'EnEIs-Rosss Trial.

From several short telegraphic mes
sages received this morning at the Office
Of The Sun, 1t is learned by The True
Democrat that in the celebrated case OF
proceedings against Editor Claude L EN-
gle and Associate Editor j. H. Reese,
Of The Sun, both have been acquitted
Of the charges of criminal libel, which
were preferred against them in the
County Judges Court Of HillsborOugh
County.
Both defendants left Tallahassee a
week ago for Manatee County and then
returned to Tampa to appear before
Judge Robes, the cOmplainants in the
case being Peter o. Knight and Wal
lace F. Stovall, the former prominent
attorney in this State and the latter
the editor of The Morning Tribune, of
Tampa. The case, which was prelim-
mary hearing, was commenced Wednes-
day morning and only found It's termi-
nation at 1870 o'clock Thursday night,
when, amidst the intense expectation of
the large assembled audience, Judge
Robes rendered his decision and dis
charged the defendants, Messrs. l. En-
gle and Reese.
That sentiment was extremely in ia
vor Of the two Tallahassee editors, even
III lIC very VI ZIG TWO GOI0DlHlIl-
ants, was evinced by the audience aris-
ing and expressing its approval of the
decision of the judge by indulging in its
approval by applause. But few of the
details Of the case have been received
at the True Democrat, but that il was
case surcharged with interest, and
that the citizens Of Tampa were on the
expectation of denouments and unusual
testimony, is evident from the fact that
the hearing was held by Judge Robes
in the large court room of the Circuit
Court, which was crowded from the be-
ginning Of the case until les end
The institution of the suit for crimi-
nal libel, which has fallen by the way
side, was basd on the publication in the
July Ii issue of The Sun which contain
ed story and q series Of remarkable
kilograms, which the defendants de-
clared were forgeries and which the
editors Of The Sun said were reproduc-
tons Of originals sent and which they,
Claude L'Engle and j. H. Reese,
claimed involved a conspiracy against
the editor of The Sun.
That Messrs. L'Engle and Reese
were prepared 10 meet stubborn fight
when the preliminary hearing came no
is a well known fact in Tallahassee and
they have been busy for weeks and
months In their preparation 10 make
good" their statements and claims.
That they completely and successfully
did 80 Is evident from the result Vt the

hearing in which they have come out
gloriously victorious.
Friends of both editors in this city,
when the result was announced here,
were elated over their success and an
ticipate their arrival home Friday night
with great pleasure.
The word from The Sun Office Friday
morning is that complete and uubias-
ed and detailed account Of the hearing
will be given in the columns of The Sun
and that it will be from the pens of
Claude L'Engle and j. H. Reese.

aWHY rag REPRIEvE7"

The newspapers Of Florida are full Of
criticism of the Governor in bis action
in reprieving the negro dock Mack, "
at Jacksonville last Friday, and the fol-
lowing from the Live Oak Democrat, is
fair sample of it. viii he never quit
such contemptous transactions, which
always gets him further into hot
water:
We have always given Governor
BrOward credit for conscientious fideli-
ty 10 his duty to the people Of Florida
as their Chief Executive. Many of US
have differed from him on many issues,
but that he has always believed himself
to be right and has been sustained by
the approval of his own conscience we
do not doubt. We even believe that he
has that approval in his remarkable
action Just taken in granting a reprieve
for thirty days TO the convicted negro
rape fiend in Jacksonville, sentenced to
be hung today. But in the name of JUS
tice, decency and civilization, what
reason was there for the reprieve ? The
people of Florida are entitled TO know,
for in this matter of criminal assault
upon the white women Of the state by
negro brutes, they are sensitive beyond
adequate expression, justly so; and that
even in slight degree, executive elem
ency should be extended 70 one Of these
venomous reptiles after clear proof Of
guilt and legal conviction, is something
that is incomprehensible to them.
The Jacksonville rape fiend had fair
trial; was legally convicted; able attor-
neys were in charge of his case. which
was taken TO the supreme court, and the
judgment of the court below affirmed.
The Board Of Pardons was next APP
pealed to. and after thorough investiga-
tiOn that body declined to interfere, and
the death warrant was issued, fixing
to-day as the date of execution. Now
comes the reprieve for thirty days and
another appeal to the Board Of Pardons
The people don t understand it, and they
want an explanation. Is the law impO-
tent? Are judgments Of our courts
worthless2 1s there to be no legal pro-
lection for the white women Of Florida
against this hideous danger, this fate
worse than death, lying in ambush every
where around them? Is the bad effect
OF executive indecisi0n, 80 painfully
peated in the case of the negro rape
fiend?
Nobody wants an innocent man hung,
Of course, but in this case the full ma
chinery of the law has been applied,
nothing has been left undOne, the Board
of Pardons has searched carefully for
any undiscovered equities which the jury
might have failed to see, and after all
this the Governors reprieve comes as a
shock TO the whole State, and appar-
emily there can be no excuse for it.
II there is any creature in the wide,
wide world utterly beyond the pale Of
human clemency, for whom the human
heart should never feel throb of pity,
and who should quickly receive the
sternest of human Justice with no weak
and base alloy of human mercy, that
creature, that reptile, that monster of
crime and cruelty, is the negro rape
fiend Of the South; and the people of
Florida want to know why their Gov
ernor has saved one Of them from the
death that was due him to-day.

A WISE BRlfON.
He Half Suspected at the Start That
the Feathers Weren't Edible.

4 Brooklyn man who entertained an
English relative tells this without the
CULVER of an eyelid:
MY cousin from London reached
New York last summer, along with
hot wave. The crowds We're deep be-
fore the soda water fountains on lower
Broadway. He remarked that he did
not comprehend how Americans could
swallow that nasty slush.'
"A mere preference | explained.
We have many curious examples OF
that kind in this country. One Of the
most remarkable evidences of insatia-
bic appetite for froth rather than sub
stance is that of the American poultry
lover who daily advertises in our New
York papers for 1000 feather beds. AS
you may we'll imagine he is said to
| have entirely lost his taste for the
flesh of the fowl
"'Oh, really exclaimed the English
man in quiet surprise. Nothing more
was said till nine months later when
| opened my mail one day and found
n marked copy of the London Times,
which he had sent to me. He called
| my attention to this extract in an
article on mob rule and lynching in
America, 1t can hardly he possible
that the supply of tar and feathers In
the United States will be sufficient nj
the rate the mObs are covering the
bodies of the poor wretches who are

stake

for another purpose and not as yoT
believe, to eat Brooklyn Eagle.
