Third. That it dees not appear 011 the record that upon the evidence at the trial the Court should have declared the juror, Sanford, incompetent. Fourth. That the admission of Johann Most's letter and the cross-examination of Spies, which counsel foi prisoners maintained virtually compelled them to testify against themselves, were not objected to in the trial Court, and that theref >re nc foundation was laid for the exercise of this Court's jurisdiction. Fifth. That t lie questions raised i>\ Gen.

The fidelity to his memory which wprears a monument to perpetuate it in the State that witnessed his unreal achievements will call forth a sympathetic interest in all parts of the I'nion. By so much as his melius added to the dilliculty of com'pierino the Confederacy, l>y so much is tli" fame of the achievements heightened and the marine jrlory f>f the whole country increased. The soldiers of the North as well as the soldiers of the South know howto value the stoutest champion of the lost cause." This is indeed a pleasing evidence of what has been accomplished by the lapse of time since the surrender at Appomattox, with the opportunities thereby oivon fur a calmer view of things in tjonenil. To <n> back no lartber than twenty, or even but fifteen years, we should find a state of feeling at t lie" North -nowhere more pronounced than in the (,'ity o* Br ?t!?erly Love -which would have made it impossible, and perhaps unsafe if possible, for any paper in that section to write words in praise of Robert K.
