broad Scotch accent


"Hie, nun, come here. and gie's a
hand with wi this beast"


The duke walked slowly on, not SEEM

calling for his help. At last, finding
that he could not get on with the cow,
he cried out i'll distress, ''Come here.
nun, and help us, and as sure as any
thing I'll gle ye hag ] get"


The duke went and lent helping

I'm sure o something, Tor the folks at
the big house are guild to a bodies"


As they came to lane near the house.
the duke slipped away from the boy,
and entered by a different way. Calling

forcibly than ever In the case of Lands who

county court, New Jersey, Judge Reed,
presiding, the question of his insanity was
considered. After the examination of Dr..
Wiley and Sheriff Hampton, he was pro.

which the following stinging reply was made
by Mr.. Springer: sa g ''t7 ~>o5s


~ do not know whether the gentleman
has been authorized to notify me that am
to receive social ostracism from tbs mem

count of my efforts to reduce the expendi

have notice served upon me and other gen.
men that we are not to be honored with In
vitations to dine with these gentlemen IN
high places on account of our cour on this
and other bills (because, as the Chair knows
and can assure the House, I have been ex-
ceedingly respectful to every gentleman
here in my social intercourse and relations,
and careful that no personal offence should
be given BY me to any gentleman upon this
aoor), If we are to have such notice served
upon US, If we are to he socially ostracised
oy reason of our efforts to cut down expen-
ditures in this Government, all lhave to say
to the gentleman from Maine 10 that we can
stand It quite as well as they can. More
over, it is no evidence Of mans integrity
or Manhood that he rides on the avenue
with those in high places, or dimes with
those occupying high positions Of power, or
that he is the recipient Of the hospitalities
Of those who have plundered this District
and are now complaining because their days
Of peculation are at an end. Further than
that, let me tell the gentleman that 1t is no
evidence Of mans ability or character
that he is permitted to dine In these high
places with the people to whom he has re-
ferred, because men lately enjoying such
privileges are now serving out terms in the
penitentiaries, while others are on their way
to join them as rapidly As the law can take
them" Laughter and applause.

It is to be regretted that the discus
sion in relation to the New Orleans Pa

personal tone. The question Of the con-

convinced that that is the place for its
determination, and that its further dis
cussion Just now Is calculated to lead to
divisions among our own people. when

quire their complete unity, that for the
present, at least. We must exclude fur

Editor Den,Ocrdt-I cannot resist the
impulse to congratulate you and your
confreres Of the Times and Bulletin on
the thoroughly just and clearly ex-
pressed opinions you have seen fit to
publish i'm regard to the finding of the
jury in the Hardeman case. / approve
every word printed. and | find but one
opinion that Of approvaD in my circle
of acouaintances. There is no doubt at
all that the community is shocked
at the finding of the jury, and it is hard
to imagine the most innocent mans life
safe under such circumstances. Before
truly civilized world we must perforce
bow our heads in shame and offer in
extenuation the single but certainly
not sufficient reaSOn-the demOraliZa
ton consequent on the war.


But take up my pen more especially
to call attention to one grave and i'm
portant point in connection with the
finding of the jury which has escaped
your notice, and which, according to
my observation, always does escape the
notice of the editorial fraternity when
treating Of such occasions.


/ come to offer word in defense OF
the memory of the good citizen Who was
killed and OF the fair character of the
widow and orphans left behind. When
the jury pronounced the accused mot
guilty" they pronounced that VIM. d.
Hardeman did that for which he deserp-
ed TO be hiUed-that his killing was
justifdble. II this be true then, as there
are few acts for which men deserve to be
killed, and as not one of these acts is
reputable, the memory Of Hardeman
is stained, and a deserved stigma is put
upon the character of his family, and
that by the august body known as
jury Of his countrymen and his peers.


But, as you have all properly said, the
great community in which this worthy
gentleman lived says no, no, no, by an
almost single voice. The finding of the
jury is condemned by an astounded
community. and in this condemnation
the widow and orphans, the relatives
and friends, will find safe refuge from
the seorn Of men. Vim. d. Hardeman
sprang from as brave, as courtly, as
generous, as peaceful set of men as
graces any civilized community, and
this community knows, and the world
must know, that, despite the finding of
this jury, he left no stain upon his an
cestry or his posterity


Let the jury who pronounced him de-
servedly killed remember that the fair
name OF the dead Is as dear to the loved
ones he left behind as life or liberty or
character can ever be to those who live.
