Garvin. While we warmly support Mr. Doxonvr for District Attorney, wedo not wish it to be inferred, by any means, that we san tion the violent and uncatled-for denun- cation of Mr. Garvin which Mr, Jon Key indulged in at a recent Tamman, meeting. Judge Ganvrs's deportment in. his office has been uniformly characterized by digni- ty and courtesy, He is always a gentleman; which is something to say when roughness and rudenes ‘o common at the bar. far as we have had an opportunity to observe, Mr. Garvin has discharged his official duties faithfully; and he is a formi- dablo adversary to encounter in the tri of a criminal case, He acquires and pos- sessos, in an uncommon degree, the conti- dence of juries. Judge GAnvin has unquestionably injured himself by permitting the Attor mn py-Gene- ral, as it were, to wipe his feet upon him by installing a party of hiasubordinates, deputies, and assistants over his head. If the Attorney-General were himself @ law- yer of ability and distinction, and wanted to come into court in person and try « particular case, that would be a different thing, Where not a legal obligation it would be a customary ¢ tesy for the District Attorney to yield precedence to him. But th General has done, Indeed know whether the present Attori ene ral ever tried a criminal case, We aresure that he bas been notoriously unsuccessful n drawing civil pleadings. But he nas put men in over Mr, Ganvin who had little of his experience and no show of a reasou for ranking him. Mr. Ganvix has suh- mitted to it meekly asa lamb. This has hurt him, People lose cor dence in those who will not stand up their own rights, Mr. GARVEN possesses a judicial cast of mind and fine judicial manners, A very large number of persons are sincerely friendly to him, and will feel solicitous that his personal prosperity shall not be diminished by his loss of the office which with the exception we have noticed, he has uniformly graced, — The Objections to Noah Davis. The objections to Noam Davis are not so much to himself personally as to. those is not what the Attorney do we not for whom his election would indirectly pro- mote Put Mr, Davis is too bitter a partisan to be au iinpartial Judge, however derirow he might be to act fairly As District Attorney we recollect that in one instance he violation of as recommended atute of the Retorm Ca a fingers United States The True didate.

District Attorney Britton and his assistant, Gen, Cullen appeared for the people, and Messrs, Wm. G avis _and ‘Theodore Edson for the prisoner. The District Attorney in opening the case briefly stated the facta which the people expected to prove, contending that there was in this case a clear intent to Kill, first, from the declaration beforehand ; second, by the providing of a dan- verons weapon beforehand; and third, by the fatal blow. ‘THE TRETIMONY.
