The political juggler, baukiupt of the standing and popularity that would enable him to attain the eminence whither his hungry aspirations for power, and his debauched lust for preferment mount the man that would barter his country, her prosperity, and honor to promote the ends of his own priv ate interest, that would sacrifice her glory to reach the goal of his sordid ambition, has found material in this exercise of judicial power for convincing the world of his lofty patriotism, his love for the people, his affifcUoa for law and good order, and his inflexible hostility to wrong, dishonesty and crime.

And how came this man Engleman to attain higti a place in the e ilend ir ot great names Let the M quel answer. Engleman came to Fort Wayne first ia lhe I year A. D. 18 Id, a ttraner io all alone, he came without; recommendation, and destitute even of a fair exterior lo attract respect : coarse in manners and vulgtr in addre, without the polish of sducetion to interest, or the graces al impudence were the leading traits iu his character, and these had nature hesneM iimenhed ... hvini? characters uoon m . - -r bis countenance. I'hue he came and threw himself

Condemnatory wealthy friends in Germ my. This was sufficient ; no resolutions were offered, indirect insinuations of bribery further evidence of honesty, integrity ami WJtlh were de- were thrown out, corruption and rnalcondurt were openly sired. These very men now so vioient in their deuuncia- charged, threats of pers mal violence arid impeachment Hons, gave him the warm hanu of friendship, and ba le were made, and nothing was left und me to excite prejnhim a cordial welcome, they received hun into strictest , dice and f restall public op nion agsin-t me. At length C nhdence, and thus became the endorsers of his character a committee was appointed to investigate the transaction, to the rest of community they themselves gave hi n cur-; and report to a subsequent meeting of the citizens, the rereney by the warmth and kindness of their attentions. suit of their inquiries, which was effected by an exsmina-

fi ied, and was caressed and flittered by the most respects Die His grossness was aagativsd or more than compensited by the length of his purse, and his faults and vices were transformed into positive virtues under the tal n ic influence of gold. His extravagance and prodigality were eulogised as the tangible illustrations of a gener .u's nature; and in short he received the same homage a-d worship that one might imagine the same persons would extenJ to the great God of their idolatry M Sanson himself, or the for snats finder of the philosopher's stone. Thus flowed the tide, when fcngteman, weaned by the dull monotony and th readbare amusements of a country fown, resdved t . change the theatre of his operations to the city of Cincinnati, where pfeasure would be enhanced by variety, and the facilities for enj lyment inrrfaaed by enlarging the field. So BsThs went, hut his devoted friend ever solicitous for his well being, to preclude the necessity of his submitting to the ordinary test of " riding qu irantine" for a sulficient length of time after his arrival, to prove him worthy, loaded him with letters of recommendation with testimonials of good moral character, and thereby secured him the confidence and respect, which, under other circumstances, is the fruit alone of long and favorable acquaintance. During his absence it was discovered that he (E igleman) was not the man he was supposed to be. Doubts and surmises as to his honesty were first put in circulation. One recollected this strange and mysterious circumstance another that all at once and for the lirt time, some of his drar friends ascertained that he had stolen larqe amounts of money from them, amounting in some instances from one to two th u-and dollars. At length he was charged with having stolen from the post office in Fort ayne a certificate of deposite for some thirty dollars. During his absence it had also been as extatned that instead of being the wealthy heir of wealthy parents, he was ii deed but a poor adventurer wandering in

For the larceny ef these ordere, which were of iL value of I'd dollars, as alleged in the affidavit llled bi lore the Mayor in that behalt, Engleman was again arrested. His counstd waived sn examination thinking perhaps that an examination would be useless, ewtagto the great excitement and prejudue winch prevailed against him, and be was recognised to appear at the next term of the Allen circuit court to answer said lal menlioned oharge, and the amount of his hail fixed at fifteen bundled dollars.
