THE CASE OF S. E. MAY.
The Trial Concluded and the Defend
ant Acqnitted Applause in the Conrt
Room Congratulations of Friends
Yesterday was entirely taken tip by
the trial of the case of the State vs. S.
E. -May. There was considerable in
terest taken in the case and the court
room was filled with spectators during
the day. The State had several law
yers, chif-f among whom were N. L.
Rutler, Prosecuting Attorney, assisted
by W. W. Thayer of Portland, John
Rurnetl of Renton county, C. G. Curl
of this city, and R. S. Strahan of Cor
vallis ; Judge R. P. Roise, Unfits Mai
lory P. C. Sullivan, Ren Ilayden, II.
Y'. Thompson and N. 15. Knight ap
peared for the defendant. After the
examination of several witnesses on
the part of the prosecution, Mr. Rutler
addressed the jury. He was followed
by Judge Roise and P. C. Sullivan,
and then W. AY. Thayer closed the
argument on behalf of the State.
Judge Iionham charged thejuryina
few words and they were sent ont at
5:45 r. jr., at which time the Court ad
journed. After half an hour's confine
ment they sent word to the Judge
they had agreed on a verdict, and the
Court was again called to order. The
jury filed into tfto room and took their
seats. Judge Ronham asked the usual
questions, and the jury pronounced
their verdict, '"Not guilty of flic
charges found in the indictment."
Scarcely were the words out of the
Foreman's mouth when the eaacr
crowd that had awaited the verdict
broke out into a loud, prolonged cheer,
and it was some minutes before the
Sheriff could restore "order in the
Conrt." Mr. May's friends crowded
around him with congratulations, while
his eyes filled with tears oi gratitude
at these demonstrations of joy on the
part of his friends. The first ballot
stood eleven for acquittal and one for
conviction, and the second ballot re
sulted in a verdict. The trial on the
remaining indictments will be resumed
to-morrow morning. Statesman.
Tun Couxtky Thinks Otherwise.
Mr. Greeley thinks he should be
President. Fortunately the country
knows better than he. Let us see : A
President who would have said at the
commencement of the rebellion, let the
South go in peace. A President who
wonld have ordered the generals "On
to- Richmond" only fo'r defeat. A
President who would have rnshed up
to .Niagara to go through the stupid
farce of negotiating a treaty of peace
between the North and South, with a
scalawag from Colorado as the princi
pal on the Southern side. A President
who would havo gone to Richmond to
go upon Jeff. Davis' bail bond. APresi
dent wlio would have bankrupted the
country by trying to force specie pay
ment. For the people, especially bus
iness men, havo not forgotten how, at
the close of the war, with gold away
up in'ihe forties, Greeley used all the
force of the Tribune to resume at once,
crying daily, "The way to reach re
sumption is to resume." If Greeley
had been where he could have carried
ont his policy then, he would have cost
this country as much by financial dis
aster as the war debt amounted to.
Railroad Failure. Colonel Fre
mont's speculations, as a general rule,
have terminated disastrously.- They
have, perhaps, been on too large a
scale. His latest stroke of adverse
fortune has been in the railroad line.
A Texas paper of May "8th, says con
cerning one of his enterprises, that the
Alemnhis, El Paso ana Pacmc Kail
road, wliich was orignall organized
by him, with all its lands, property,
rights, privileges and franchises, would

NO. 23.
The State of Oregon vs. Samuel E. May.
The third indictment, saya the
Statesman of the 7th instant, against
Samuel E. May, was tried yesterday,
resulting in the acquittal of the de
fendant. In the evening the conrt met
to receive the verdict, and after its
announcement, the remaining indict
ments were all, on motion of the Pros
ecuting Attorney, dismissed. Thus
ended in a fiasco a prosecution begun
for political effect, which came to bean
elephant on the hands of its originators
and an enormous expense to the coun
ty, ending in the utter discomfiture of
those who at first thought it a winning
card in the late campaign. Mr. May
is now a free man, at liberty to return
to his home and family.
The Mercury and Herald havo both
made disgraceful attempts this week,
to prejudico the public mind in the
case of the State vs. S. E. May, against
the defendant, while the trials wero in
progress. We have known such pub
lications to bo held as "contempt of
of Court."
To Purify a Rooir. Set a pitcher
of water in a room, and in a few hours
it will have absorbed all tho respired
gases in the room, the air of which
will become purer, but tho water per
fectly filthy. Tho colder the w.ater is
the greator the capacity to contain
these gases. At ordinary temperature
a pail of water will contain a pint of
carbonic acid and several pints of am
monia. Tho capacity is nearly doub
led by reducing the water to the tem
perature of ice. Hence, water kept in
a room awhile is always unlit for use.
For tho same reason the water from a
pump should always bo pumped out in
the morning before any of it is used.
Impure wter is more injurious than
impure air.
o
What is the most desirable age of
life ? We put this question to a few
friends lately, and received the follow
ing replies, but do not consider any of
them satisfactory : A banker thought
coin-ago the best age ; a tailor, cabb
age ; a soldier, pill-age ; a toper, vint
age; a vicar, vicar-age; a hungry
man, sausage; an ambitious lady, a
carriage; a bravo man, courage; a
dram-drinker, drainage ; a joker, bad
in-age ; a musician, band-ago ; a slave
owner, bound-age ; a laborer, cott-age ;
a Scotchman, poorage, and two silly
fools, marriage.

A True Wife. Daniel Webster
once said : There is nothing upon this
earth that can compare with tho laith
f ul attachment of a wife ; no crcaturo
who, for tho object of her loye, is so
indomitable, so persevering, so ready
to suffer and die. Under the most de
pressing circumstances, woman's weak
ness becomes a mighty power, her
timidity becomes fearless courage, all
hei shrinking and sinking passes away,
and her spirit acquires tho firmness of
marble adamantino firmness when
circumstances drive her to put forth
all her energies under tho inspiration,
of her affection. It is tho bubbling
stream which flows gently, tho little
rivulet which runs along day and
night by tho farm house that is useful,
rather than tho swollen flood or cata
ract. Niagara excites our wonder, and
wc stand amazed at the power and
greatness ot God there, as it pours
from the hollow oi His hand. But
one Niagara is enough for a continent
or the world while the same world re
quires thousands and tens of thousands
of silver fountains and. flowing rivn
lets, that water every farm and mead
ow aud garden, and that shall flow on
every day and night with their gentlo
quiet beauty. So with the acts of our
lives. It is not by great deeds, liko
the martyrs, that good is to bo dono,
but by tho daily and quiet virtues'ot
our life, the Christian's temper, tho
good qualities of relatives and friends.
A story is- told of a soldier who was
frozen in Siberix Ilkjramark wasr
"ex " ho then froze "asslfiTas mar
ble. In the summer of 1BW some
physicians found him, alter having lairj
frozen for one hundred and Jiftcen
years. They gradually thawed him,
and upon animation being restored, ho
concluded his sttntenco with "ceed
ingly cold."
