The Tichborne Estate

The claimant bas not lost inuch in being deprived of the Tichborne estates, if all that is stated regarding them be true. He would have come into a barrea inheritance, and is likely to live in a far better and an infinitely less embarasaing style whither he has gone than he could have done in the baronial halls for which he made so desperate a struggle. It seems that the estáte will be lost ia litigatioa by reason of the expenses attendant upoa the recent trials. The trustees of the estáte have had to bear the brunt of the legal proceedings, the costs of which amount to over $200,000, which ia more than the value of the property. The Doughty trustees who had charge of a portion of the property, and who were not involved in the suit for ejectment, expressed their willingness to agree to bear a certain proportion of the expense ; but, as the agent of the estáte insisted that they should pay inore than a fair proportion, they now refuse to pay anything. The result will be, either that the eatate will be sold, or that the trustees of the two estates of the infant heirs will enter into a prolonged litigation. Arthur Orton can, therefore, if he cherishea any animosity toward the Tichborne family, hug to his heart the consolation that if he could not have the estáte, his adversarles are in an equal unenviable posiüon. Certainly he is in jail, but even here he has an advantage, since the paternal government has kindly given him a roof over his head, while the Tichbornes are not so desirably situated. There seems to be something radically wrong in that law which permits an impostor to legally destroy those he attempts to plunder, by putting them to ruinous expense in order that they may defend their own against his rascally tnachinations. The moral of the affair seems to be that when a scoundrel cannot gain possession of an estáte that is not his own, he can Bucceed in making it impossible for its rightful owners to keep it. Mrs. Nancy Clem, the Indiana murderos8, who was four times tried and convicted of complicity in the murder of Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Young at Indianapolis, soveral years ago, has at last been released. So much for sharp lawyers and loosoly framed laws.' We presume there isuot a porson in Indiana who doubts the guilt of this woman, and it is a scandalous comraentary upon our system of crimiualal jurisprudence that her lawyers have succeeded in getting four different trials for her, and finally in getting her out of jail " scott free." Most of the milis on the river are in operation. The mili of Chas. Merrill & Co., opposite this city, started up about the lst of April and after cutting 400,000 feet shut down for want of logs. They expect to resume operations on Monday, and will slash out 70,000 feet per doy.-
