The Telegraph (which is a mighty moody rggue

which he promptly arrested a inan,,known about
Great Bend, Lanesburo and elsewhere-yecently by
thii name of Blake, as we intimated last week.—
He Was not only suspected of belonging to -the
gang, but as he was at the Susquehanna Depot
when the other prisoners were examined, and met
them at New Milford the night they were brought
in, and as some alledge he was seen here during the
firs that night, a suspicion had been fastened upon
hint of setting the fire to Searle's stables. •
In the Mean time a warrant was issued for the
attest of Christopher Wellman. (late of the Rail
way House at Great Bend,) who was suspected of
being connvted also with the gang; and from his
beirig in company with Blake at New Milford, some
thotlit he might have been here at the fire with
bite also. Constable Foster of Bridgewater, ar
rested him on this warrant at his home near Mott's

But the loss Of the dwelling of the old people,
which has been the home of the family for so ma

est stroke of all. The sons. who are industrious

B. Sayre in sustaining this loss of nearly all the ef

PREMATURE JEDGMENT.—IIowevef 4 trongmaybe
the feeling of every citizen against the wrongs in
flicted opal the community by,the making and set
ting afloat 9f liad money. and however vigilent ev
ery citizen should be in detecting nod bringing the
guilty to justice. and breaking up the gang supposed
to infest the country. no• one who is liable to be
called as a juror should cutTer his mind to bombe
prejudiced or his judgment to he prematurely
made up finm what we see and hear around us.—
It seems there was evidence enough found against
the prisoners brought from Lanesbord last week
to induce the .lust ice (l. A. Ward, • )to bind
them ovdr t o Court for trial. But -neither that nor
the various hear-say storie4 that may he afloat,
may be sufficient to condemn them. For aught we
know there may be innocent men among them, or at
least palliating circumstances,which may show some
to be less guilty thiin others.. Each one is entitled
before trial to the benefit of every doubt about
their guilt, and that they may have a perfectly fair
trial, nothing that is published or told about them
before hand should be even thought of by a juror,
but his mind should be left free to decide entirely
upon the evidence as it shall be produced. in Court
I .'So of, the man, suspected of arson. It is a hein
ous,t offence indeed, in the dead hour of night to
light the torch of the incendiary and-thus peril not
only the vast amount of property, but the homes
and the very lives of a whole town of quiet unsus
pecting citizens. A strong feeling of indignation
naturally arises in the mind of every one and ex
cites the whole community againit one who could
thus wantonly cause the horrible ruin and devasta
tion which has been inflicted in this village. 'Such
a feeling could hardly be restrained from visiting
summary vengeance in the shape of Lynch Law
upon the offender or offenders, could it be ce`Piaiu
lsr,known Itjo was at the bottom of it. .But there
is the qu tion. Who is guilty The
.. pri..4nrier
lately committed may be the sole author of a t ll, this
calamity, and he may not be guilty at aIL What
ever the , circumstances which appear sgairist him,
--iekevery mind be uncommitted tilt the day of tri
al.' _Theo if his guilt be clearly proven, let justice
Le done.;
The practice of gambling of which it is alleged
some of lthe prisoners are professors, though tend
ing to notorious evil results and frequently leading
to high crimes, is not conclusive proof that they are
counterfeiters, nor the finding of implement used
for the purpose inc public house sure proof that
the keeper knows how they came there. Nor is
counterfeiting or passing co t unteriett money conclu
sive evidence that those engaged in it would burn
a whole town to facilitate the escape of those ar
rested—much less does it prove that all of the pris
oners must know of the -design, in however much
suspicion it may :involve them. Each one must
therefore stand or fall upon the evidence which
may hereafter be brought against t him individually:
and while the safety of the community against
these depredations seems to require their confine
meat till the day of tfial, fall must deploy the suf
feringp thej must undergoin such a pent. up pris
on dUring the intervening months of hot weather,
y
og dally if it should appear that any. of them are
rea lyinimeent of the crimes charged. • Until jus
tit can be done if possible, therefore, let no feeling
upon the enormity of the crimes charged interfere
to privent justice being done, and let humanity
plead their cause in the meantime.

mercilessly ridiculed by those who have been amus

they are going to try it elsewhere till they find

ate' Subsequent examination, led to the belief
that this calamity was the work of design. The
New-Albahy Ledger says:— • •
Suspicion of having_ been connected with this
dreadful affair. rests on a man living in the neigh
borhood, who had a quarrel with Hanagan. and who
had been heard to say that he, H, should never
become a neighbor of his. When questioned as to
what he knew about the.accident, he gave evasive_
answers and appeared much confused.
It certainly st extraordinary that of ten pet'-
eons, all should be so sound asleep us not to be
aroused by the noise consequent upon the burning
of the house, or to be so drunk as to be incapable
of making their escape from a tenement on time
ground floor. Some of the citizens of Elizabeth
are of opinion that this man drugged the liquor and
then set the building on fire at different points.—
These suspicions, however, may be all unjust, and
for the honor of human nature we hope they may.
This is one of the most horrible catastrophes dm
has ever cometo our knowkalge, and should serve
as a terrible warning to those who are addicted to
the free use of the bottle. -
The Honesdale Democrat in alluding to the ar
rest of a man by the Sheriff of that county on sus
picion of being concerned in setting the fire in this
place, intimates that the late fire in Honesdale
may have been - kindled by some one of the same
company. It says:
There are grounds for grave suspicions, at least,
that the fire in this borough was lighted by the
same Ting of miscreants. Several of them were
here when the fire happened. W hole wagon-loads
of merchandize were taken away during the excite
ment consequent upon Qie devasthtion, and have
not )et been tracked out. One of the guards, sta
tioned by the borough rintherities to prevent plun
dering, was knocked down and terribly stunned
while attempting to step the egress of one of these
wagons from town. His groans attracted attenuen
to his Condition, but no trace of the depredators
was discovered.

FURTHER OF THE CUBA EXPEDITION.—The
Washington Republic Chinks the reports by
telegraph that the Cuban expedition has been
abandoned, are not to be trusted, as they are
only intended to baffle the government in its
designs of suppressing the expedition. A
private later is published, ir. the Republic,
from Jacksonville. Florida, to the effect that
an expedition was certainly on
,foot there,
and was expected to sail on the Bth of May
The Savannah News, of the Ist inst., says :
A few days wilt tell the story of the Cu
ban Expedition. If it should fail, through
the active opposition of our Government, we
feel quite confident that its mission will only
be delayed. A popular movement, so deep'
rooted as this, may be frustrAted for the time,
but it is evident that a spirit is aroused, how
ever unjustifiable it may be, which will soon
er or later effect the emancipation of Cuba.
It is the duty of our Government to preserve
the neutrality of
,the nation, and to discoun
tenance every infraction of our 'treaty stipu
lations with Spain ; but it, is expecting too
much of the administration to suppose that
with all its vigilence it can prevent what has
come to he regarded as the " inevitable des
tiny" of Cuba. The death grasp of imbeCile
Spain itself must release its hold upon the
Queen of the Antilles, even if she is not res
cue(' by the strong arms and brave hearts, at
home and abroad, who are pledged in her
cause.
Capt. Farren; of sell r. Ifaxs'on• Rogers, from

great excitement at Matanigs, in consequence
of a report that Gen. Lopez, with his follow
