He said that the duty which devolved upon him was an arduous one, and he felt he could not do the matter justice. But the duties of the managers were to protect the people and give the aceused every opportunity to be heard in his defense, for the reason that this trial would be a pre- cedent for the future government of like investigations. It should be-the duty of the court to conduet the trial, consid- ering nothing except the subject matter di- rectly involved in the case. ~ Corruption in office s a disense that should be stopped, no matter how many tender hearts way be Druised.
