OUa WASHIWGTON CORRESPONDENCE-
Washington, March 7, 1854.
Our uuallv quiet com m unity was on Friday
last much disturbed and shocked by the report
of the death of Doctor Gardner, who had been
on trial the second time, for the last three
months, upon the charge of perjury, committed
in support of a large claim which had been al
lowed by the Commissioners of Mexican Claims.
The doctor, up to the rendering of the ver
dict, had appeared entirely confident of being!
acquitted. A tew minutes before the jury caine.
into court with their verdict, Dr. G. caine to the
office of Air. Bradley, one of his" counsel, nnd
inquired whether the jury had agreed, express
ing a hope that his counsel woud not consent
that the jury should he discharged until they
nad agrei-d. At this moment came a messen
ger to inform Mr. Uradley that the court and
ury waited the pie;vene" of the defendant and
His Counsel, the latter having agreed upon their
verdict. D;-. G. and Mr. B. went immediately
to the court room, the former with a counte
nance somewhat Hushed, yet on the whole ex
pressing a confident hope. The jury werj then
called mer, and asked if they had agreed upon
their verdict ? To which The foreman answered
rli.it tl c- I. ...I !..., tl,.. I
r . -1 1 fr.n liw tin. Or i 1 turn,rl .tp:.tl,lv " I
' i. . t
ind sat down with a look of despair and dis-
vress. Sentence was then pioimunced by the
:ouit, which wis ten years' imprisonment in
the Peniteiitiarv with hard labor.
At the request of .Mr. Bradley, the court i
agreed to postpone the xecution uf the sentence )
or a few davM, to enable him to tile exceptions J
UiJ take the cae to the circuit court. Meantime,
fie prisoner, imw taken inm custody, was ord-r-
d to be taken to the jail, where he immediately
proceeded with the Marshal, accompanied by
:iis counsel and several personal friends. But a
few minutes after entering, indeed almost the
iiooiem he entered the jail, hewasseus d with
'unvulsioiis, and these lasted, intermitted by
nterals of relief, doling whieh bis mind was
erf-ctiy clear, fwi- an hour or more, until he
died.
The physician had not the slightest doubt,
riiiii the s in puuns, that Dr. G.'s death had
ieen effected by taking a very small quantity
if strichniiic. But what must have been the
neii;il angui.sh that urged, him to commit sui
cide? L poo the rendition of the verdict, his broth
r, who is also indicted for the same offence,
vas arraigned to give additional bail, but being
inable tii do so, surrendered himself, and is
iovv in confinement.
Last evening and this morning a report was
i circulation that the young lady, to whom Dr.
5. was engaged, had followed her lover ; having
died in convulsions of the same character 'of
those which carried him off. But the renort
proved to be unfounded The shoek of the
news of her lover', conviction and death was a
terrible one, nnd threw her into convulsions;
but of a diff rent kind from those which; proved
fatal to the Doctor, though not less'severe. She
is still lying in a precarious condition. .Much
yinputhv- is felt lor her, though there is a
itrnng conviction in the public mind that he
.vas guilrv of tin; crime laiU to bis charge.
If cuiitv however, bow ninny are there who
itill go unwiiipt of justice,, who are not less,
juiltv of defrauding the government than Dr.
Gardner? It is hut within a very short lime
that a General and a Judge were charged in
Pennsylvania with "he crime of forging pen
don papers, and obtaining thereon large .sums
f money frmii the Federal government. They
.ver held to bail to answer the chjirge, but pre
ferred escape to trial.
It has become almost proverbial that an un
founded claim stands as good a chance, before
Congress, as one which has the highest meiits;
for the reason, that the reaily meritorious
claims are usually left to stand upon their me
rits, while those that lack that basis are nurs
ed and bolstered up by means and appliances
much more likely to win favor and command
success, than naked unaided merit.
The Nebraska bill, as you have seen, 'finally
passed the Senate by a vote of nearly three to
one. The only Southern men who voted in
the negative were Mr. Bill, of Tennessee,
and Gen. Houston, though Mr. Clayton would
have done so, had he been present.
Mr. B 11 spoke against the bill on Fiiday, for
two hours atid a half or three hours, but w ith
out effect, though fie presented very strong ar
guments and forcible illustrations to bear against
it. But membeis were already committed, and
both consistency and pride of opinion, as well
as the necessity of conforming to the prejudices
and wishes of the constituency they represented,
forbade them from changing. I have, indeed,
long since learned that argument, however
sound, cogent and conclusive, has very little to
do with shaping public measures ; but preju
dices and interests, the ambitious hopes and
longing aspirations of members, have much,
have everv thitiir to do. in these matters. It
sometime happens that the public sentiment of
one's constituents, their prejudices, if you please,
pull one way, while the aspiring hopes of the
member pull another and a contrary way. In
such a case the wishes of the constituency gen
erally kick the beam, and the member is true
to his own interests. All the argument, all the
discussion which now take place upon general
and important questions, is intended to operate
less upon the minus ot those who have to vote
upon the question than on the minds of the peo
ple who sit in judgment upon those wdio give
their votes; arid this has been the character of
the speeches, for they can hardly be called de
bate, in the Senate upon the Nebraska bill.
And vet. how is the public mind to be really
enlightened upon such a question as this, since
those who speak against it send ttieir gpeecnes
to those who already concur with them, and
a V .1 1 A I !
vice versa? ivortnern men senu meir speecuee
to their constituents, and Southern men send
theirs to Southern men.

who had done so heretofore, ile was opposod
'to making hiiv discrimination as to Hiving its

application, at the time of so doing, and the
other half, on the issue of the certificate, by the
person to whom it may be issued: provided,,

MaVEuiroK: The conduct of the leaders of
the so called Democratic Party towards Gen.
Dockerv shews conclusively what they are
He is a man of sterling integrity, strong intel
lect, and great psactical experience, free from
all of those pret aided claims which s i often
characterize poliiiciuus and dates his claim to
the respect and support of the People to the
great fact, that he is the "architect of his own
fortune," ard.Mike many other distinguished
men of the Country, it risen from obscurity,
by his own personal exertions, without the aid
of the rich or powerful. Why should such a
man' be ridiculed or denounced ? Is such a
course of conduct towards him proof of the
spirit of his opponents ? I am a plain man
looking to no political preferment or office, and
I should like to know whether Gen. Dockery is
to be assailed in the coarse and personal man
ner
indicated by the Correspondents of ths
Standard? If so, he will be zealously and am
ply defended by many who, though in party-
matters they will do their duty, in matters oft
justice and right vvl submit to no dictation !
A VOTER OF JOHNSTON.
FOR THE R EGISTER.
Mh. Oai.es : It ftives us, in this section, very
great pleasure to learn, that Gen. Dockery has
been nouiinated for Governor. We all know
him to be a man of the most inflexible integrityi
--the most uncompromising honesty of political
fiurpose, and as true a man to the great princi
pies of his party as can be found in the State.
In, addition to all this, he is much beloved and
respected by his neighbors, and having been
tried in all their distresses, he has never been
called on by- any of them for relief without a
kind and generous response. He is a farmer,
closely and intimately identified with the in
terests and rights of the "bone and sinew of the
State," and is readyatall times todoevery thing
to advane their prosperity. We know him well.
We, wish all the people of our good old State
knew him as well as we do ; then, we are confi

him, arjd they will find he is worthy of such
honor! MOORE COUNTY.

to i.'hureh History, being a new Inquiry into the
true Daces of the Rirth aud Death of our Lord and
S.iviwr .Jesus Christ : and containing an original
Harmony of the Four Gospels, now first arranged

"This: eminently valuable wrk we can conscien
tiously recommend to the Christiau public as em
bracing deeper learning, higher researches, and
greater clearness than we have ever seen united in
a work of which the details are so massive, and the
forms thjit present themselves for inquiry so diff
eult to apprehend. New Qarterly and Colouial
Review. ;
This is a work of far more general interest than
its title imports. The author's professed object
is to institute an inquiry into the true dates of the
birth and death of the Savior, preparatory to an
ecclesiastical history from th times of the Apos
tles to the fall of the Roman empire. The author
has gone back to the original sources for his data,
and has spared no labor to arrive at the truth in
all points affecting the principal fact to be estab
lished, die has shown that the supposed discrep
ancy of ne year between the computation of Yar
ro and some of the public Roman records does not
exist ; while, on the other hand, the deaths of Ju
lius Ciesar, Augustus, and Tiberius are proved to
be post-dated by modern historians. These im
portant facts being established, Dr. Jarvis has care
fully revised and corrected the consular chronology
of the Roman empire, and then proceeds to the
second port of his work, in which die main subject
is treated of in a masterly manner. Dr. Jarvis has
here compiled, from researches the most indus
trious, and sources the most abstruse, a better
chronological history of Christ, aud his passion and
death, tliau can be found in the whole range of our
ecclesiastical writings. Ha has also harmonized
the Gospels in many important parts, where there
seemed to be discrepancies, aud, altogether, has
presented to the Christain public a more satisfac
tory statement of events, dates, &c, connected with
the life ojf our Savior, than has ever yet beeu given
by priesfi or layman. For sale by
