Acquitted. Samuel Bellejeau was brought before the Recorder on yesterday for indulging in seditions talk. The evidence did not prove the conversations in which he took part as being of the kind that would render Bellejeau amenable to law, and the Recorder let him go. One of the witnesses was a gentleman who had been compelled to leave Washington because he would not take an oath to support old Abe's Government, and he expressed the opinion that all Northerners now here who would not take an oath to support the Constitution of the State, should be compelled to leave it. There was a good deal of sound philosophy in the suggestion, but the Recorder said he thought our people would be as lawless as old Abe's, if they carried out any such policy.
