" , MARY HABRI8? TRIAL CONCLUDE?.
Tho trial of Mary Harris fyr the murder
ol A. J. JJurrougns iu yvasnington was
concluded a few days since. Burroughs
was a man of soino ptanding and intclli genco,
and held an honorable position in
the Treasury Department at Washington.
Mi.s3 Harris, from being so much exasperated
at the treachery of Burroughs, upon
meeting him in ono of the streets of Wash
lngton,shot him. Sho had tho sympathy
of tho populace, and manifestations of joy
nt her acquittal were great. We give below
the Argument of Mr. Vorhees and tho
verdict of tho jury. It will bo found interesting
:
Washington*, July 19. 1805.
To-dav, the twelfth and last of the trial
of Miss Harris for tho murder of A. J.
P.tirroughs, witnessed a larger and more
excited crowd in attendanco than any
which hu.s preceded. Tho sympathy of
.the public, with fow excopt:ons, had in the
x'ourso of the trial been arrayed on the side
of I ho accused, and an intense interest de
Vv'K'j?"I in tlio final result.

AltUCMEST OF MR. VOOUHCFS.
At halfpist ten o'clock Mr. Voorhces
cv?mmonced his ar&ument. Iti (lie course
of it l;c gave the following sketch of the
IltdTOKY OF TUB ACCUSKD.
Seven years ago Mary ' Harris was 'a
Lcaulifi11 and intelligent child of twelve
^ears old i:i the city of jPurlington, Iowa.

When those two parlies to this mournful
tragedy appear first to our view in contact
with each other lie wms a man of mature
years; she was young enough to be his
own child. The man ami the child thus
. .I ihis point started together. I need not
.1 at length to show the isolate pow
*:r which he Ufco'sarily obtained over lier
>oung mind and heart, lie took her by
the hand and taught her that her litu be- |
longed to hi:n. She grew up to woman j
hood in unquestioning obedience to that j
i-lea. It fashioned all her budding hopes.]
it was a part ot all her plana when she
'dreamed of tho sunshine and the joy of
tho future. It was tho solo wealth of her
pure, yoftng.heart, and it was enough, she
was content. He was literally all tbu world
to her. IIo taught her to regard hi in as
her destiny, ller parents, not blindea by
that idolatry jvith vvbich she worshipped,

Uvea besides his own. They disapproved
of his protracted and assiduous attentions.
They strove to sunder the connection aud
to dissolve tho spell by which he held her
eucbanted. They wished her to marry
another. 13ut their efforts were in vain.
' Her being was absorbed .in his; and when
the issue came between obudienco to pa
. rental authority and obedience to his omnipotent
will the result could not be doubt
Tui. lie was to her as the oak to the vine
?her support nnd her life. She clung to
his fortunes. She gave up all. J Lome

jvhu KiiiurcG were icit behind. She went

her when a child. It was thus she
came to Chicago to reside with tho witness,
Mis3 Devlin, in order to .be near him who
.was henceforth to be the guardian and
protector ol all her future years. Aud
who is here to rise up and condemn net
fot this act? You may say that the step
'then taken was the sourco of all her woes
and the cauje of her present imperilled

The testimony of Dr. Nichols waj thon
reviewed by Mr. Voorhees, who insisted
slrongh* on tho skill and expcrienco of the
learned doctor, in whoso study and practice
mental disarrangement had met with a
life's study and experiment, nmJ was finally
supported by llio tendency of every other
physician who testified in tho case, in the
flSSGI'tiiin tlrnf. slin pnmmilfrt-'l lit* M"??
?.v ~ kiiv ucuu till"
tier an insano impulse." Mr. Voorhccs
then alluded to tho snying of the attorney
prosecuting llio case, that "there should be
anexmnplc; and that the whole community
desired an exnmplo to suppress crimc in
this city." But, said Mr.Voorhees, I speak
for this community, rot her, when I say
that they do not want this g:rl mndo an
example, and through their lips and the
I jires?, is uieir ine-.iium ol expression,
they have indignantly repudiated the idea
that they thirst for this girl's blood. Mr.
Voorhcc3 next dwelt eloquently upon the
character of woman, the protection which
j she is enlith'd to at the hands of man, and
upon the fact tl*U woman's crime?, ninetynine
times out of ono hundred, are but the
rebound of man's criminality towards herself,
and that she is ever but tho instrument
of punJShment which ho-has fashion*
cd and create! for tho expiation of his own
gum.
The e'oquent argument of Mr. Voorhees,
to hear which a crowd comparable
only to that which filled the court room
during the Sicklcs trial had assembled, was
listened to with profound attention. Tho
crowd outssdo was as great as that inside ; i
through every available window rows of
faces appeared, and whenever Mr. Voor?
bees readied any passionate passage of
appeal or entreaty the.murmurs of appro- .
bation which the new marshal could not
quell within the house were loudly responded
to by those otitside.

0UTRAGE8 AT NEWBERRY.
According to th? statements of the
Nowfcerry Herald, the citizens arc filing
but badly In tbat town, and it appears tbat
rogues aro doing a profitable business in
tbat locality. Tbe editor of tbo Herald,
in bis paper of tbo 2d iust, thus graphically
pictures the actions of those noctural
visitors: ^
Robberios aro of common occurrence <
and an occasional fire gives a change to
the scene. Meat houses, chicken roosts, I
fee., are swept nightly, and any thing moveable
or looeg is clean gone by morning. 1
If something is not soon done to arrest
these petty "irrepressible" pilferers, the farmer
will Foon be reduced to a pitiable condition.
Law and order aeeins to have departed,
and wo are simply drifting on tho
current. I
Dr. Garmany's office was broken open '
the other night and robbed a numder of
valuable {articlas, among |whieh were sover- |
al setts of valuable surgical instrument*. '
.Mrs. Uiggins' Inrder was entered and plundered
of a quality of lard, etc., and friend
Scot; (ells us that all his bacon was stolen
a few nighl9 ago. Major L. J Jones and ,
Mr. James Caldwell have also had midnight
vlsitfl, sustaining I083.
Wo regret to learn that Mr. Robert Ste- ]
wart's gin house was set on fire and con
sumad, together with its contents, ten bags
of cotton, one hundred bushels of wheat, thrasher,
<fcc., durirg the last week. It
was the work of an incendiary.

(
During his conversation, the General
remarked most sensibly on the existing
slate of affairs. He Eaid it was the true
interest for every man in Georgia lo b?
obedient to the authflHlies and promptly
to acquiesce in the orders issued. To j
willingly accept the (rue status of affairs, ^
and go to work with' a will to restore &
Georgia to the position formerly occupied J
by her. That the quicker Georgia resumed
her old place among the Slates the better
for all. The General also said that there
should be but one party in the State, that 1
there should be no division among the (
people j but that all should do their ut- K
most to accomplish tho great object?the
reinstating of. Georgia.
It affords us much gratification to find
that the leaders in the late struggle feel
inclined so strongly to have everything
adjusted as rapidly as it is for the best in- (
terests of all. Now if the peoplo who listened
to and followed their advice in days
gone by, will only profit by their example
and advice now, there will be no disturb
ance, or jarring, or party discussions in tbis r
State until we get into a position where all f
matters can he safely discussed without c
detriment. I
"Wise and Judicious Counsel.?Noth- t
ing can be wiser and more judicious than j
the advice of Hon. W. W. Boyce, in bis t
late speech at Winnsboro. Id tho courso *
of his speech he said : <
"Uur greatest statesmanship now consists
in paoification with the North. Eva- j

Let us forget the horrible struggle through ?
which we hare passed as fast as we can. "
