CAN oHE PERSON BE GUILTY OF
CONSPIRACY.

John Black, who was convicted
at Chester, on the charge of hay
ing ccnspired with others to de
fraud the State, and sentenced
to serve in the penitentiaTy tor
period Of FIVE years, pending ap-
peal, has had his sentence COM
muted to pay a tine Of $1,000. We
expect to see great fuss kicked
up by the newspapers about the
acsion of the governor in this
case. but when we take into con-
sideration the fact that the same
jury which convicted Black &C
quilted the parties indicted with
him, one Of whom was a citizen
of Chester, it had the appear
ance that Black was made q
scape- goat Of. and convicted to
crafty a certain clamor. There is
no doubt the State was pilfered
and punishment should have
oteItahen the culpritS. but we
never did think it fair to convict
Black, and let the men go free
whom it is charged he conspired
witt. to swindle the State. There
is one thing sure, if Black did
the things he was charged and
convicted Of. he could not have
conspired with himself, for to
engage in a conspiracy it takes
more than one person. The other
mem bers Of the dlspensary board,
and a liquor agent whose home
is at the place Of trial, were
charged along with Black, yet
Black was convicted, and the
others came OF with a certificate
Of good character. Black may be
as guilty as the jury said, but is
impossible for him to be guilty
by himself, therefore if the other
conSpirators must be set free with
q declaration OF innocence, then
the State ought not complain at
having TO accept tine from the
man whose misfortune was to
have been selected for punish
ment.

has always contended against the

has always stood for requiring
the institutions Of higher learn

in the way of additional build

Browning, who is said to have
guoernatorial aspirations, would
do the State a better service by
withholding himself from the

sembly to convince that body Of
