The prompt conviction of W E
Breese; who wrecked the-Firet Na
tional Bank of Asheville, and the
sentence of ten years in ; the peni
tentiary, is a cause for congratula
tion to those whs believe that crim
inals should suffer for their , mia
deeds. No just man will rejoice at
Breese's downfall; but because he
took advantage of his position, his
standing in the community and the
confidence placed in himV to delib
erately rob those who trusted him,
is, the greater reason why he should
Buffer the full penalty of a broken
law. He is a worse man than the
ignorant and vicious criminal,' who
has had none: of ithe advantages
which made Breese a respected and
trusted man and gave him tie op
portunity to steals ! He knew his
duty and did it not and He-should
