Freeman during the last week-On Saturday and Sunday there was an unusually large number "of callers, anjd Mr. Litis ws obliged to. refuse thetn admittance. On these days the warden is specially forbidden to allow any one to visit the inmates of the jail and if tbjis fact were known, it would not only sate the people a fruitless journey, but lit would alto prevent the Warden from being placed under the unpleasant position of refusing them.

Litts isja rictly conscientious man, and although willing to accommodate the visitors to. a reasonable extent, yet there are certain duties which he must respect, and bounds over which he cannot step. Presents for Children, Man or Maifd, Oliver's is the place to trade. G0-tf. Improvement.

FcxERAL. The funeral of the late Mrs. Crandall took ternoon at 2 o'clock. under the care of the ace yesterday af- The remains were daughters of Re- hecca, of whom Mrs. C.

was an honored and beloved sister, and was followed to her place of rest by a farge concourse of friends. Sho leaves a husband and child to mourn her untimely loss. As- Reported by J. F. Standish, Court or the Jcbt: Samuel W.

Trimmer and Michael Gaughan ar charged with a bijth mifidenfeanor. The indi- tment is drawn under a section of our Penal Code of 1S60, which I will now read to you: if any person shall forgn. deface, embezzle, alter, corrupt, withdraw, falsify or nnlwfuUw aroid any record, charter, gift, grant, conveyance or contract: or shall knowingly, fr-udu-leotly or unlawfully, spa-e, take off, discharge or conceal any fine, forfeited reeotrnizance or other forfeiture; or shall forge deface or falsify any registry, acknowldgment or certificate; or shaU alter, deface or falsify any initiate, book or any proceed ing whatet er of or belonging to anv public office within thi-common wealth; or if any person shall cause or procure any of the -ffeoaes aforesaid tobecont-mlttt-d. or be in anywise concerned therein, he be guilty of a misdemeanor, and on -o-Tiction. sentenced to pay a flne not exceeding two thousand dollars and to undergo an imprisonment, hy separate or solitary at labor, not exceeding setra yea and if a public officer, he shall he removed from said office, and the sim be declared vacant by tb court pausing sentence upon him Gentlemen, this is a rigor us enactment, but nevertheless an eminently proper one.

Public offices are the places wh-re the of title are lodged, where liens aad judgments are to safely kept, where records are where fall those things which are supposed to indicate, eertaiu-ly, and truth may be fyund. and where, ty Btatut'-ry mandate, a sworn officer, first selected by hi fellows, is 'placed as a keeper and custodian. It is more than an ordinary misdemeanor, gentlemen; when an officer, thus chosen and sworn, is placed over so hijth a trust, if iu forsretfulness of hi- oath, in defiance ot his obligations, in reckless disregard of his duties, he enter upn work or forgitg. falsifying or defacing these records, or become inai.ywUecQ cerued th rin. Th man who Koes this is indeed a criminal of high degree, he effects of his criminalitv they ramify tn oueh all the a vein, a of the Social state.

Wben, therefore, we ft 1 such a man, no matter what may have been his previous good character, if he is found clearly guil of the offence, the punishment pre- rised by the statute isnot too great for him. Gentlemen, there ha been during he last ten or twelve years almost an utter disregard of the election laws in some quarters of thia county. More recently h-re has been scarcely a year in which the returns of elections, sometimes fiom ono district, sometimes from another, have not been tampered with on their road to lodgment in the place assigned for them under the law. Contests have.b'-en in ugu rated, great expense h-ve been incurred, but the criminals have escaped. Thousands upon thousands of the money of th people have been consumed in the necessary work of looking into this wickedness, and of tr.ing to adjust and to thwart the evils flowing from this nefarious business.

'The day i at hand when this state of things should have an end. -'the time is before ns when, if it be possible to dis-eqjerthe perpetrators nf.thes and kindred outrages, to bring them to punishmeer, ev- io the extent mentioned by the statute before referred to. i The theory of our government is, that the people shall rule. 'This is atrue of elections involving only county omo-rs as of those involving the highest oihccrs in the land. If the prople of the whole nation give'their attention for a da v-to.

he selection of their rulers, and that choice is thwarted or set at nought by the nan of a forger In a single night, the ruin of oar syst is at hand; utter destruct on ot our institutions is wrought; the fabric of republican g'jvei nment is rent hopeles Iy and foi ever; deopotism wt.h ah its affi lated evils, comes en apce. Reeurr uK now more specially to our county, it is ah alarming tact that ther is a cites of among us who regard elections even as less tb.au mere masters ox form. This is worse than itelusion: it is downright crime Why, the law has thrown around the ballot box almost every possible protection. Elections are solemn acts; they are conducted under ihe superintendence of sworn officers; the records of eir results a regarded by statutory provision an extent cummensurat with their great importance. Shi 11 it be permitted, then, that bef or these results are aggr gated and pro-c attned as the law directs, the hand of the midnight forger snail alter or destroy them shall their custodian, the officer whose sworn duty it is to take care of them, lend himself directly or indirectly to tfco evU purpose of tampering with them To meet au offence so wicked, the vry purpose of the statute under which this indictment baa been drawn.

1 repeat, the punishment-imposed by that statute is none too severe in a where the offender is clearly discovered, and evidence of his crime clearly mada out. But, go- tlemen of the jury, notwithstanding great crimes have been committed in this county, notwithstanding offences ot the character ot the one now before us have frequently leen committed here, notwithstanding the very crime charged this indictment is co'ced on all si es to have b-en done by pomebo-iy. that fact, of itself, will not warrant the conviction of any pers. or persons, unless you shall be satisfied be-ond a reasonable doubr trom the testimony that guilt has been established. Convictions, are not to beb-tsed on suspicions, no matter how strongly they may te; but on the contra- they are to be predicated only upon clear proof of gui-t.

i'lhe testimony iu this case has neeu fairly presented before ou. Twelve re a onable are to take it up and fully examine it. You have been sworn to dispose ot the iaaui according to the law and the evidence; it behooves. uO. therefore, to lay aside the contemplation of everything aot legitimately pertinent to the question involved.

So matter what may your politics, or your religion, or your several stations in life, you are to cons dei not only the office which you fill, nam.ly, that-of juros. You have been sworn to discharge tho du lesof th fcoffice not at the behest 'T bidding of ny man or men, but only according to the law and the evidence. It should be ot no earthly account to you ho is conueruru here. ersonal friendships should be lai-l asid; partisan feeling should be suo-dued: the law and the evideuce alone should guide your dsliuera It is my duty and pleasure, at this point, to say. to you, gentlemen, that there are cases where a good character is of great accou to one charged with Particular is this so when.

Uuder the testimony, thre is a douot. Character then comes to his aid and juries give him the benjeflt'of, it. But. oh the other hand, when th guilt of off ndershas been t-staolished by the proofs beyond a reasonable doubt, then, no matter how good their previous character may have been, it neither answer nor excuse fur the tyime. So far as the present defendants -are concerned, it certainly has been shown that to the charge contained in this indictment, they have borne excellent rep-utati ns; and if there is any douot of th ir guit in your minds, springing from a full and fair consideration of all the testii-ony, hen that doubt, should operate tor their acquital; but, on th- other hand, if the testimony clearly convinces you that they are guiitViiti your sworn duty to return a verdict iu with yur convictions.

Previous good characters cannot them; they are criminals by positive direction of law. Gentlemen, it is not denied that the offense at which the statute was aimed, has been per-petra within the very walls of this building. Forgery and fraud have been busy here. Their rruita have been loist-xt over the threshold of this court. Mr.

Davis, Mr. Edwar s. Mr. Bro-gan. inde-d, all the election officers of the South District of Blak iy towuship, have' been before you.

And here I may remark that although this indictment alUges the perpetration of forgery and fraud with reference to fire or six otnor election districts, and although casual allusion has been mane to that fact during the progress of the trial, still, you will be careful to consider none of them exceot the South District of Blakely. No others have been inquired of; 'no others therefore, should engage y. ur attention. The returns from this district, were brought here by Mr. Davis, the judge of the election He says he delivered the true returns into the bands of the proper ofS cf rs.

Dr. Trimmor. th-. prothonotary, and Michael Haaghan, his chief clerk. The expla nation ef the manner in which this return waa made out by the lection officers, the care that wa observed sealing it together with the ac com pan ing papers, the whole conduct ot the election board, the custody of the official work bef ore it joame away from that district, aU have been stated distinctly and at length' by four or five witnesses the el ction officers themselves.

If this testimony be beli-ved then, there was delivered into the custody of the- defendants, on Wednesday succeeding the election; a true return of the votes polled in that district. What became of it The Couuty Commissioners have provide-1 the Pro thonotary with a safe. It would seem from th testimony th' Dr. Trimmer and his clerks, and other parties casually in the office on the day succeeding the election exercised commendable careover the returns as they came in. At night they weie gathered together and placed in th safe, i That safe had a combination Ir vk.

But two persons aboui the office knew the bination of thtt lock; one ot them was Michael Gaughan. and the other Mr. Levers. Tne latter has been put upon the vtand. and he says he a a not open it.

inaeea. it na not even been Intimated that Mr. Levers had auything to do with opening the safe on the n-ght in question. Mr. Fenner, tne chief clerk of Mr.

SelbeL the Prothonotarvr who Droceeded Dr. Trimmer, a'so. knew th combination of chat lock, but hi high character ri htfuily shield him from suspicion, from any quarter, of hairing anything to ao witn tnis netanous business. FINANCIAL I. AX KMT BT TKtR GRAPH.

hour for cloning it, as we learn, though on some extraordidary occasions, tho Prothonotary or his ctvrKs were accustomed to open it, ana 10 transact i-usiness there. On the night in question. Mr. Bennett says the office was closed and the gas turned off by Mr. Gaughsn.

titer that evening, if you believe the evidence, Dr Trimmer, the Prothonotary, and his cbie' clerk, Mr. uaughan, were, seen tj enter that office. They remained there until nearly twelve o'clock They then passed, out and went directly to the Exchange There has been no explanation given ot their business there at that hour of the night. Dr. Trimmer did not return again that night; but later still in the night, it tne witnesses are believe Mr.

Gaughan, who Knew the combination of the lock at tached to the safe, in company with another person, ndt now on trial, entered that office again, and remained there; until the early of the They then came out and went again the exchange-Hotel, where Dr. Trimmer wa stopping. If tne witness be correct. Dr. Trimmer was standing in the bar-room of that hotel at the unseasonable hour of thre- o'clocluln the morning, fully dressed except that his hat was off.

Gentlemen i it would been exceedingly gratifying to the members ot this court, personally, and to the numerous friends of Dr. Trimmer, if some explanation had been vouch safed of this extxadrcinary conduct. i At twelve o'clock, noon, of the following day, the judges of th court assembled here the purpose of receiviu opening and counting the. vote polled in tne county, agreeaoly to law. was not present.

1 was hundred-- ot miles away at the timet The reimns w-re produced: they were brought from the Prothonotary 's afhee by the specially sworn officers of the court. They were placed around the i clerk's desk; they were' guarded with scrupulous care, some of the i facers being constantly present during the adjournment of; the court. The bundle containing the return from the South Dis rict of Blakely. which, as Mr. Davis swears.

was delivered the previous day to the Prothonotary and his chief and which contained a true return, was not found, but in its stead there was produced a bundle which contained a forged and falsified return. The latter eame, unquestionably, if you believe the witnesses, from the safe in the Prothonotary'a office. The iniquity which was aoout it, was discovered; the purpose of th forger and falsifier was thwarted, i i Gentlemen, such is a brief summary of the evidence aJduced on i he part of the prosecu. tion but you are not to look alone at this. On the are to carefully examine and weigh the evidence adduced on the part of the defence.

The fact that Dr. Trimmer and hisc erk, Mr. Gaughan. were in th office -on ednesday wljil the returns were coming in, apparently in the faithful discharge, of their duly: the fact that the office was sometimes crowded, and, indeed, that many persons deeply interested in the result of the election, were in and out during almost the entire day all these circumstances are competent for -your consideration jn connection with the case, and particularly since they have been submitted as explai atory of the testimony produced on the part of the.prosecutivil iu support of this indictment. I In if upon a full and fair investigation of all the testimony on the one side and the other, vou are satisfied that these defendants! are guilty in manner and form as iney anq cuarged, tn-n, under tne-solemnity of your oaths, and with the courage becoming reasonable men and jurors, you should say so; if, on the other hand, there is your minds a reasonable doubt of their guilt, not a possibility, but a doubt legitimately springing fiotn the evidence', then, you should have the cour-go to acquit them.

I repeat that, though this is a high misdemeanor and though the like of it' has been y-epeatedry perpetrated still, a conviction in the piesent instance ought not to be had unless you are sai isfied of the guilt of the accused. Under the indictment, you may find one of the defendants guilty and the other not guilty, or you may find both guilty or both net guilty. If you convict, you have nothing to say about Costs; but if you acquit, you will then say whether the county, or tne prosecutor, or the defendants shall pay the coats of prosecution, or ydu may divide tho costs of prosecution between the prosecu-tor and the defendants in such proportions as xou think Heport of inspector ormineav Ma.
