It ia a mystery to us why this is
the case. Fiotu our knowledge of

that he lias been led into this diabol

Tltt* Augusta Chronicle and Senti
nel has made some very appropriate
remarks on the arrest and farcical
pretense of giving the above wretch
a trial. We condense from the article,
wnich says, the trembling knees have
ceased to shake and quivering nerves
are still again. Blodgett has been
released on moderate bail, mid there
is no reason to believe that he will
ever he brought to trial. Certain
patriotic hearts swelled with joy when
the glad tidings were received.
The patriots who so loudly cuased
Blodgett iu his exile now say they
think it ’inexpedient’ to b ing him to
trial, aud bowaii the expense of the
proceeding against him. The key
to tho patriot’s mystery is simple.
Mr. Blodgett is tiro possessor ot an
unimpaired memory, a fluent tongue,
and tin Box full of papers. That tin
Box is the lump ol Aladdin; a beli
ever Blodgett touches it ho cau com.
maud what lie desires. The slaves ot
the Box are numerous aud powerful.
Summon them often, Mr. Blodgett.
It lias been discovered that Foster
B odgi it’s pardon is “very full,’’ and
that there is very liulo hope of con
victing him. It might be added that
in Atlanta there is uo hope whatever
ot cither lus trial or conviction. Tli
hope in that oily is all the other way.
I’allies there hope that he will not
ho tried or convicted. Blodgett
knows too many ugly things to make
it altogether sale to have his lips un
sealed, and he is as safe from pun
ishment today as tho rau-t innocent
man i:i the State. It is a little singu
lar, ho a ever, that the extraordinary
• fullness ’’ of this pardon has just
been discovered. It was granted in
January, 187 j, aud published in the
daily papers of the State. But
months utter that lime Democ.atio
committees were exposing Ins unities
and no less a lawyer than Judge Liu,
ton Stephens —clarum nomen et ven
erable— was obtaining indictments
against him. All these things seem
a little singular, and warrant tho
belie! that m/hientiul Democrats in
this State dare not bring a criminal
to justice because they fear the reve
lations he may make concerning thetu.
We have never believed that Blod-
gelt w ould he brought hack to the
S:nte tor trial. We have never be
lieved that r.ny effort was made to
secure hi* arrest. We do not believe
that lie will be tried now. We do
not believ e if lie is tried that his trial
will he anything more than the merest
mockery of justice. Fulton
lior Court is now m session, and the
next move will be to have the ease
continued. \\ hen this is acvompli-hed
we shall hear no’.hli g more id Dloil
