ARGUMENT OF QIDNEY SMITHL Special Dispateh to The Chicano Tribune. Waozzoaw, Iil, Doo. 4.—The fifth end Iast doy of tho trinl of David A. Gage, ox-City Treasurer of Chioago, for falling to pay ovor 508,000 to his sucuessor, bogan gloomily, but endod ohoerfally for tho dofendant, Tho session of the Criminal Uourt oponed at tho usual hour in tho morning,—9 o'clock,—very few poople be- yond those dircotly Intorestod bolug present. Otlwers, however, soon arrived, and, boforo Mr, Bmith hod falrly gotten {nto his argument, the room waa crowdod. .1t wos kuown that tho coe ‘wonld go to tho jury abont 11 o'olock, since Mr. Bmith had told saveral porsous thas he would nok ocoupy ovor two hours. Ifence the increased attondnnco,—tho lavgest durlog any of the soegions. Among tho uumber wero about thirty ladios, who wero all sented fo- gothor, tlo Court giviagy orders to oust the mon who hed tcken posscsefon of the bonches {n order to give them tho bost opporfu- nity to hear, The expoofations with rogerd to Mr, Smith's olosing asgument for the prosecu- tion, though groat, were fully roalized,~his ro- marks being characterized by a romarkablo clear neas of statoment, and apparontly lncontroverti- blo togical deduotions, He eaid the duty that devolved upon him and upon the jury was not a pleasant ono, but, per- lape, the embarrasement under which he la- bored was much greater than theirs, from the fact tbat tho defendant was ove of his porsonal nogunintances. It was nob true, as charged by counsol {n the Lioat of debato, that ke Lad form- erly hud INTIIATE, BOCIAL BELATIONS WITH MN, GAGR ; ho had simply known him loug, as othiers had. Still, had it beon truo that he led hed such rolations with Mr. Gnge, it was oxtromely doubtfal whether it wonld not bave boon his du- ty, when called upon by partios who desired him to anxist tho State’s Attornoy, to act fivmly, fenr- lcaely, and justly, In the celobrated case of Dr. Wobster, Judge Shat, ous of his best friends, sontenced the dofondant to dentl. But ho uad baou aesailed for presuming to appear in his pro- fessiounl capscity. If all things carthly wore to bo closed out by tho first of January,—if all civil goverament was to come to sn ond,—snad it was not necessary to sct a precedent in a ease liko the one uuder considaration, he would say, Rud the Court and the jury would doubtless say, that it was not worthi whilo to proceed further for tho purpose of puniehiag the dofondant for tho offonso Lo had committed; bocauso no onowould bo disposed to pursuc the prosecution for mero persounl considerations, or from maliga or ro- venge. Dut THE PRECEDENT {hat would bo estebiishod by acquitiing the de- fendant would result fu evils which no msn conld colenlate. This sad condition of affalrs in relztion to publie ofiicors throughout the country wns notorious and deplorablo, Tho incroase of corrnption and deroliction was 1nost rapid and alatmiing, ond was on onum{' ten-fold moro dan- gerous than armed rebelllon.

I'hoso wero tho tormblo results of loosio morals wud looso notions in regard to ofticial duty aud intogrity ; and thia country was hastening wit h territle speed to doatruction by this quiot and in- uidlous enomy, avd unless the tide wns atopped this freo republio wonld bo wreoked. Thoso wero gravo and solemn considorations,—consid- erations which tho jury wero calied upon to meot firmty and fenrlessly, It hind now come to o atate of things whote it was frequently re- marked that nothing was loft to rely upon but tho judiclary ; and he foarod that romurk wan too trug, Whon courts and jurles tailod, God preservous !
