Fidinger, The trial was had before Justice John^ sou Monday and Tuesday, and the jury failed to agree and the case was adjourned to Thursday morning and then continued until Wednes day the 27th of this month, at the same place, at the request of the prosecution aud sajrainst the wishes, of the persons acc-ased who desired an-immediate trial. As the case is not yet disposed of it would seem that any reputable newspaper would withhold comment upon it, espe cially so when thaï comment is un favorable to the persons accused of the offense. One of the attorneys for the prose- cut ion has however openly boasted i si public places io the village of Bmvia, that he- would make a thousand votes by this trial and would write an an icle himself upon it and thus it Is thuat we find the case ai this time in print. We premise our statement oflshe case by the as sertion that we know there is not a member of the democratic pariy that would defend or apologize for any person found guilty of stoning apo litical procession, They will con tribute toward tht prosecution of any such persons at any time and under art y circumstances. What is this ' ‘Yazoo” case. These tTO men were arrested for an alleged assault and battery as we have stated on Geo. Fidinger. They were en titled to a fair trial in a court of jus tice. They empLoyed counsel and their counsel demanded ajtiry trial. This jury was selected at their re quest liberally from the political par ties, and as sworn stood three and three. The evirisen ce npnr* th<> pa-r-t of tiw prosecution showed conclu sively that the prisoners were1 not guilty of the offense charged in the warrant. It appeared that these two persons were walking abreast of the procession alone side by side with 140 men with lighted torches. Some one in the procession shouted out to them “ Now [>ick up stones if you want to” and then each ol the pris oners picked up and threw one each m d only one , one or which passing in front of the banner and one back ■of it, neither of which hit any per son, and then thus v.iliarxt procession of 140 men broke ranks and rushed upon the two with shouts of kill the ----------- etc., etc, While this was transpiring, Fidinger was hit he stat ed with some kimd of missile upon the right side of ins head, at first he stated he was facing west and then south, and upora the whole told such contradictory stories oi the affair that the jury would have been justi- field in disbelieving him, The sim ple naked question was submitted to the jury “ Who threw the missile if any— which hit Geo. Fidinger.\ Two Republicans upon the jury who were in the procession upon the night in question, but not in this company, held that the proof satis fied them that the prisoners did. The other four were not so satisfied, and the jury could not agree. It appeared that back of the place where the youag me» stood was a yard filled with trees in which per sons might hav*e been concealed and that after their arrest two young per sons came out of a lane east of this place a short distance and looked cautiously arotand and then ran rap idly across the road and disappeared. That other stones either two or three were thrown at this procession from the direction of these young men which the evidence of the pros ecution showe:d conclusively they did not throw, This was the case presented to the jury after a two days’ trial and a political stuttep speech thrown in lor the sake of variety and to enter tain the crowd assentbled in such numbers as to fill the court house to it utmost capacity. Who took the case to the court house which was warmed and lighted and cared for by the Sheriff at public expense. Who procured the crowd to attend to listen to counsel “ in the greatest political effort of his life” vve are in formed the defence * did not, and now that all this “ fine frenzy” is wasted, and this great -political ef- foitcouie u nai isht, are the good people of this vicinity to mourn the downfall of such political a~pera- ations. We know not the p jlitics of these young men, and1 do not defend what they did do in, the mat' ter, though under provocation, but when men Are denied a fa.ir trial in a court of justice where jurors are attempted to be bulldozed; into find ing a verdict contrary to their own sense of right, and counsel con demned for doing their ditty simply to further the political asperations of any man or set of men, we think it is time for every hones* man to protest in a way that will make himself understood.

Owing to the severe storm of snow and rain the Republican Mass Meet ing and processions which were to have been held m Batavia this (Sat urday) afternoon and evening, iiave been postponed.

As an illustration of the fact that woman is no longer a raoneniiv in politics, we copy the following from the Troy Standard of Wednesday: “ About a week ago a. communica tion was received at .this office in which it was alleged that the fore man at Cluett's laundry had taken un m measures to influence the political opinions of th^ girls em ployed in that place. It was stated in the communication that the fore man said the girls migh.t pound on the tables as much as they pleased fur Gaifield, but they must not pound for Hancock, and that he even employed a spy to watch their movements. We were waited upon by a delegation of girls from Cluett's shop this morning, who said the above allegations were; false, and that the foreman never tried to iu - fluence the poluica.1 opinions of the girls.” ---------- ‘— K i l l e d at P e n n Van.
