ticular fj'iilitics may accord with our taste.
Further than this we make no distinction

cur fo-uier communication upon which
the reporter grounds his declaration, feel -

Certainly the "circuit preacher," if in
standing with his brethren, is a "respecta

just men, and we are confident that this
class cf ministers would as likely second
Mr. llazlett's mauccr of abuse as they
would second the peculiar form of civili

his friouds. The reporter's deficiency iu

He now passes our "brain spawn,"
through the "fires oi analysis," but
strance indeed as it opnears. ins'.rrad of
coming out of this Cry ordeal, a charred

said appears more clearly, by contrast
with tho dross, of his cwn base metal in

markable that amidst so much veibiage.
nothing appears to acquit Lim from the
charges that Justice made, and which
every hotiet liberal man felt to be true,

chiefly iu them, to that kind of abuse,
characteristic, of prejudice and bigotry.

meanness, he tells us that he said nuiuiug

A CONSCIENTIOUS LAWYER
.
The Danville (N. Y. ) Express tells a
capital story connected with a prominent
lawyer of that village, who has distin
guished himself iu the defense of crim
inals, as well is in connection with
other trial?, having frequently, thrcugli
his skill, aided the most hardend criminals
to escape from justice. Some time ago.
while he was attendingCourt in an adjoin
ing county, Lc was applied to by a si ngu
htr specimen of humanity charge! with;
grand btteenny, to defend him. The
lawyer very naturally inquired what
crime he was aesusei ot. The party ac
cused replied that somebody had been
mean enough to charge him with stealing
SioO in bank notes, and had got him in
dicted. "Aie you guilty ?" asked the
lawyer. "That's none of your buisne.ss,"
! replied the accused, ' They ssy that
makes no difference with you ; whether a
man is guilty or cot, you will contrive to
dig him out in jome way. So don't talk
any more about the guilt until you neat
what the jury says." "Well, whttt about
the pay?" said the lawyer. "You
jn.it hold on
give L (the
till the
trial is
over ;
cotaplslaaat , 3i i oa lue
orosa csrtmination, and that other fellow ..
he has tt to back hira up, and you'll
have no trouble about the pay." The
trial commecced and proved to be a some
what protracted and exciting one. The
District Attorney proved that the money
in question was composed of tffo ?S0 billd
on a certain bank, and the remainder all
in vlO bilk, all of which were wrapped up
iu a piece of oil silk. The jury, after
Imcuing to the counsel ia the cate, and
...
recc:TlnS t,,c C"WA t'-0 JuJ rC'
tired, and soon returned with a verdict of
not guilty. The accuse 1, who was great
ly elated with tlis result of tho trial and
tho effort of his counsel, iuited tho lat
ter into one of the vacant, jr.y rooms.
As soon as they were alone ho slapped
his counsel on the sLvMer, aul explain
ed: 'Free as water, ain't I ? What's the itsa
of trying a man for stealing when you'io
around 1 Now I supposo you war.t pay V
' Yes j have you got anything to pay
with ?" said the lawyer. ' Lend mo
your knife aud we'll see aljut that."
The lawyer, slightly .-tattled f.t such a
proposition, rather reluctantly complitd
tho accused iuimediuUly commenced rip
ping aud cutting away -et the waistband
of his pantalooas, and ejn produced the
roll of bills for the stealing of which ho
hud just Inn tiied, wrapped up ia tho
identical piece cf oil silk described by
the witnesses for the prosecution, aaJ
throwiug it down on the tab's before tho
astonished lawyer, crschtiuied : "There,
take your pay out of that : I gujss thera
is enough to pay you tolerably well."
'"Why, you villain! you stole that
money after ait," said the lawyer.
10
that
you expect I can take
of
tnoacy?'' ''S'olo that money! liidn't
them twelve men up stairs ther just say I
didn't steal it ? What's the ue of try
ing to raise a question of conscience after
! twclro respectable men Lave given their
opinion on the subject? Tuke your pay
out of that and ask no (i-rstiocs. Don't
be modest in taking : I got it easy
enough, aud you've worked hard enough
for it." Our informaut docs not stato
how much the lawyer took, but we pre
sume the chap didn't have much chauga
left after our friend hal satisfied his "cm
science" iu the premises.
END OF A NOTOrjOI'.S r.rsinvHACKEC-A
CAREER OF CRIME PKOlUHT 10
A CLOSE.
Sr. Eons. March 5. The D, nocral
has the following special, this morning,
from Warrcnsburg :
The grand high pticst cf desperadoes,
Bill Stevens, has met his just dues, and
i: is reported, was killed this morning nt
Jay liuEt, by some horsemen who Lad
surrounded his house, and called on Lim
to explain certuiu threats made whilo iu
town the day after the hanging of San-
dors.
This man, Stevens, Las been the terror
of the country and State, he being at tho
head of all villainy and crime, and wio
was it to any person who thwarted him
in his views. One of his sons was killed
at the Blair meeting last fall, and was a
chip of the same block. Another of Lis
sens, a well known horse and cattle thief,
who has by his act3 made himself liable
to arrest, and ry Lis daring Lad alwa3
escape!, has several times been shot at 1 y
the sheriff, but Dick Turpin like, escaped.
This sou is blamed for being counceled
with the gang that murdered Mr. Switzcr,
and was waited upon, but succeeded iu
escaping, along with his pal, Morse An
drews, across the river. Polk Adams and
J. Starky, both members of the sama
gang, were waited upon by the commit
tee at the house of Adams' father, ou
Friday night, but thvy succeeded ia es
caping by running the gauntlet through
two hundred horicmen. who were armed
to the teeth and had surrounded the
house. Adams is reported wounded in
the arm, and both he and Starkey are
now in Kansas or Ntbraska, bid away by
their friends. All these men are kuowa
to every person who has owned a gojd
horse or ox for tho past two ycar.i.
So the work goes bravely on, and era
the leaves come out by tho warmth of the
.May sun, Johnson county and Western
Missouri, will be as safe a pl.ice fr tho
peaceable emigrant as any of the Eastern
States. A strong cfi'ort is being made
by there vagabonds to cry out rebels and
rebel persecution ; but this game is "play
ed out," aud the committees are legion,
and are known to be from all parts, hav
ing only one issue involves eternal cs-
tirmiuatica to ail murdering thieves aai
