THE WEEKLY PRESS
A NEW VOLUME I-1861.
THE WEEKLY PRESS will enter upon a New **-
ewe with the New Year.
To say,merely,that our rarer has been insteeasfull
would be to give far too weak and indefuaite an idea
of our uosition—for, not only has
THE WEEKLY PRESS
been established on aniline and permanent foundation,
but it is, in reality, a marveling example of the degree
Of favor Whloh a rightly-conducted
LITERARY, POLITICAL, AND NEWS
JOURNAL
can ritually at the hands of J hberal and enlightened
palate. Our most grateful than... are tendered for the
patronage already bestowed upon us, and we shalk spare
no of whieh may serve to render the paper even
more attractive, useful, and popular in the future.
The POLITICAL course of THE WEEKLY PRESS
need not be enlarged upon here. Independent, dear,
and fearless, It has battled, unwaveringly and zealous
ly, in defence of the
RIGHTS OP THE PEOPLE
against EXECUTIVE USURPATION, and unfair and
tyrannical legislation; ever deolaring and adhering to
the doctrine that POPULAR SOVEREIGNTY consti
tutes the fundamental basis'of our free institutions, and
that the Intelligence and patriotism of our citizens will
always be preservative of a wise, jut, and salutary Gov
ernment. Thetis. are Ithe priseiplos to which THE
WEEKLY PRESS has been committed, and to these it
will adhere.
OUR NEWS COLUMNS
will °patinae to be subject to unremitting care ane
attention, and all diligence be employed to make this
paper a compendium of all the principal events of into
rest which transpire at home and abroad.
The LITERARY oharaoter of THE WEEKLY
PRESS, now universally acknowledged to be of an ele
vated stamp, shall not only maintain its present high
standing, but shall be enhanced by important and valua
ble contribution from able writers. Deeming PURITY
or Kw/0A the great safeguard of private happinessand
pubho prosperity, we shall carefully exclude from out
columns everything which may reasonably be objected
to on the score of improper tendency. The fields of
yore literature afford saffiolent material to make an AC
CEPTABLE FAMILY NEWSPAPER, containing all
the elements of excellence, without a single objection
able line ; and the proprietor of the THE WEEKLY
PRESS may justly claim that no head of a family need
hesitate to let its columns go under the notice of any
member of his household.
The general features of the paper, in addition to its
POLITICAL AND NEWS DEPARTMENTS, will be
roan ' , Sketcher, Biography, and Original and Se
lected Tales, chosen for their lessons of life, illustra
tions of history, depioture o ef manners, and general
merit—and adapted, in their variety, to the tastes of
both sexes and all ages.
COMMERCIAL DEPARTMENT.
pee care will be taken to furnish our readers with
correct and reliable reports of the produce and oattle

In a word. it will be the endeavor of these concerned
to make THE WEEKLY PRESS continue a favorite

of a carefully-prepared newspaper.

RARPEK'S WEEKLY
We have spent half a day, pleasantly and
ptitably, in looking over the fifty-two num
, hi of Harper's Weekly, during the year
60, which make up Vol. IV. In truth, this
dame is not only a record of the year's an
%3ls,but it also contains a vast amount of lite
, try, scientific, critical, and national matter,
he whole illustrated by engravings from the
;'blest artists at home and abroad. Here, in
32.2 quarto pages, is an amount of good, real
'eading equal to some thirty or forty average
rolumes. There is a sprinkling of wit and
tumor, of essays and poetry, of fashion and
able talk, of fact and fancy, which makes a
I ,nelange pretty sure of pleasing all. Among the
'riginal tales, written and illustrated expressly
br this volume of Harper, are Mr. Curtis's
4 Trumps," which we hopo to see republished
'es a book ; Lieut. Wise's cc Captain Brand,"
which has already boon booked in London;
and "The New Partner," by Mr. Ludlow, (a
;story, the head and tail of which we never
'could connect,) and a score or two of capital
tales, eaeli good enough for a first-class maga
zine. Besides, there are, liberally illustrated
too, Charles Lever's "Day's Ride ;" Wilkie
Collins's "Woman in White;" Dickens's
. 1 Uncommercial Traveller, " " Christmas
Story," and cc Great Expectations," and other
foreign works of merit, backed by the agreea
ble amenities of cc The Lounger," and the
hest accounts written or pictured of the Japan
esj-, Anit , ”!-,';a, tiTltrilian War, the Secession
41reine'nt, and the . 'Prince of Wales's Visit.
Thine are nearly one thousand engravings in

ThURSDAY, JANUARY 24 1861
Napoleon's Italian Poby.
j Europe, by this time, knows Efficient of
! NAPOLEON to understand that he tics not de
termine without mature dellberath, and that
he rarely abandons his resolve. Heeded the,
Italian campaign of 1869 by therreaty of
Villa Franca, the basis of which s'S the Fe
' deration of the Italian States. Sony, no one
step of his, since then, has indicatecny devia.
Lion of his purpose :
! And who dare question aught that Meoldes?
That man of loneliness and mystery,
&area seen to smile, and seldom heard sigh ;
Whose name appals the fiercest of his Ow,
And tints each swarthy cheek with salror hue;
Still sways their souls with that commding art
That dazzles, leads, yet chills the vulgeoart.
What is that spell, that thus his lawlessein
Confess and envy, yet oppose in vain?
What should it be, that thus their faithn bind?
The power of Thought—the roagio of tblind !
Linked with success, assumed and keptth skill,
That moulds another's weakness to its s ;
Wields with their hands, but, still toe's° un
known,
Makes even their mightiest deeds sear his
own."
The last reports from Paris are th in re
ply
to swarms of political agents, unteer
or official, who have arrived there om all
parts of Italy, the Emperor has reatedly
expressed his preference for a Conferation
of Italian States over an United Kinem of
Italy. The plan which Ito is believed
- taller
Is this: "That Austria should be Miami
to give up 'Venetia; that Vicroa. EzAtmEr,
be named King of Piedmont, Lobardy,
Venetia, Parma, and Modena; the ing of
the Two Sicilies to be restored, as so the
Grand Duke of Tuscany ; the Popo i hold
the Patrimony ofSt. Peter, and to gorn the
Legations, the Marches, and Umbriby a
Grand Vicar."
But, per contra, the Emperor of Alma has
positively ordered that his Council oState
must not even so much as mention to hi the
abandonment of Venetia for any pecilary
or political compensation. Tho Neapitans
and Sicilians are indisposed to takeoack
King BOiiiALINO• The Tuscans ropudle re
turning to their allegiance to tho Grand uko,
whom they exiled. And the Pope, olysnate
or firm, will have nothing less than h full
power and undiminished territory.
Therefore, such a Confederation of Ulan
States as NAPOLEON dreams of is impossle—
and perhaps he knows it. Ills fleet aloneave
prevented the Sardinians from attacking beta
from the sea, which would cause its siedy
surrender. What can he mean by thus aow
ing BOLIBALINO to hold on to the last shrl of
Kingly rule t Does ho mean, after al. to

The Sunbury and Erie Railroad.
The advice given by Governor PAOKEIttO
the Legislature, regarding the measures to t
adopted to secure the completion of the Sul.
bury and Erie Railroad, and the interests 4
the State and tho people in that enterprise
deserves prompt consideration. It is of Lb
highest moment to the people of Penns ylvi.
nia that no unnecessary delay should occur
this important busitess.
It would be difficult, indeed, to overran
the importance, immediate or prospective, d
the Sunbury and Erie road. It will be tin
means of raising the sunken foreign trade if
Philadelphia to its former pre-eminence, which
was based upon her geographical position, aid
her natural superiority as a distributing centie
—advantages that have been lost, for a time
only, in consequence of the early enterprlA
and persevering efforts of the people and the
successive Legislatares of New York in esta
blishing improved inland communications, but

the valuable produce of the great Northwest
the world's granary—and thus attracted to her
port the vessels of foreign lands bound for our
shores, and invested her with a monopoly
almost of our foreign trade. She now reaps
the profits of two•thirds of all tho exporting
and importing business of the Union.
Capital and population always tending in
the direction of commerce ; the banks and
brokers of New York do a business propor
tionate to her commerce, and immigration
resorts chiefly to her port, which constitutes
another source of income, besides afford
ing extraordinary facilities for enterprises of
every description. Of 103,000 immigrants
who arrived there last year, bringing with
them some $8,000,000, no less than 44,000
declared their intention to settle in the State
of Now York, while 14,000 only wont to Penn
sylvania. The population of the zcEmpire
City" increased, within the last ten years, at
the rate of 68 per cont.—that of Philadelphia
at the rate of 34 only. In the two respective
States, a similar difference in favor of our
great rival is observable. Since the inaugu
ration of the Erie Canal, New York has rapid-
ly brought under cultivation the vast wilder
ness which, previous to that event, stretched
from Albany to the Lakes and the western
borders of the State. At the completion of
the New York and Erie road the lands inter
sected by that lino rose from $3 to $lO per
acre in value.
In 1825, the property valuation for the city
of Now York was $83,000,000, which has
risen since to $550,000,000. Numerous farms,
villages, towns, and cities, of from 16,000 to
80,000 inhabitants, now cover the area be
tween the Hudson and the lakes, while in the
northwest of Pennsylvania there are yet some
9,000,000 acres of fertile soil almost wholly
uninhabited. It has been officially estimated
that from these lands, which are rich in tim
ber and valuable minerals, the sum of $150,-
000,000 will bo realized by the people in con
sequence of the completion of the Sunbury
and Erie road, and that the State will re
ceive, from this source alone, an additional
revenue of $857,000 annually, more than dou
ble the amount of the interest on the debt
due from the company to the State, which in
terest, however, cannot be paid while the road
remains unfinished. Yet these advantages,
enormous as they are, appear but small when
viewed in comparison with the inevitable
commercial and industrial results of a connec
tion of our seaport with a chain of lakes, the
commerce of which exceeds the 'immense
sum of $600,000,000. The extension of our
foreign commerce and our already very con
siderable mining and smelting industry; the
increased production of the soil by agriculture;
the accelerated growth of population crea
ting farms and new villages, and cities ; the
corresponding increase of the social and po
litical influence of Pennsylvania, and the im
measurable effect this must have upon every
business, large or small, throughout the State,
aro considerations of great moment. That
an enterprise involving such great and com
manding Interests should have been suffered
to struggle on against adverse circumstances
so long, at the loss of millions in money, and
the loss of precious opportunities that might
have been improved in promoting the comfort
and happiness of millions of people, is deeply
to bo regretted.
But mere lamentation will avail nothing.
Action is required. We must go to work
earnestly. Tho road is nearly finished ; let
us not shrink from a last effort upon which so
much depends. The present Legislature, re.
cognizing the full significance of tho Sunbury
and Erio road, will, we trust, in conformity
with the advice of our late Governor, assist
the company to resume their work, and to
carry it to a successful termination, in the
shortest time possible.
TRADE OF GIVOINNATI.—The Cincinnati Ga
zette of Wednesday says there bee been a heavy
falling off in the past day or two in the shipments
for New Orleans, canted by the "war news from
Vicksburg," and a leak of confidence of our mer
chants in the orders for goods which aro sent to
them from the South, as they may be, and are,
countermanded every day. The shipments for
Nashville are not so heavy as during a week or
two past, and it le expected that that trade will be
worth but little in a short time, There is but
little freight going for Pittsburg and St. Louis.

WORKS OF FICTION
The Cloud with a Golden Border, by Helen
Hazlett, exhibits some talent, but belongs to
a class of novels—the religious—which wo
do not like. Let a story bo a story, and a ser
mon a sermon, but do not turn the sermon
into the story. The main purpose of Miss
Hazlett's book is to show how a Jewish gen,
tieman became a Christian—an occurrence, we
can tell her, which rarely takes place ; for the
ilebrew race cling very closely to their an
cient faith. That Mr. Mordecai, a 4( Hebrew
of Hebrews," should become not only a Chris
tian, but a preacher, is too improbable a di
monement. In real lite, such an incident is sci
rare as only to make an exception to the
rule.
Meta Lander's c 4 Mario% Graham," (pub-
lished by Crosby, Nichols, & Leo, of Boston,)
also is a religious novel, more probable in its
.main incidents than the last. Its moral is a
remark by Thomas Carlyle, that "there is in
man a Higher than love of happiness; ho
can do without happiness, and instead thereof
find blessedness." There aro characters in
this book so well drawn, and incidents so well
related, as to assure us that the writer will
have no small success in fiction, if she will
abandon the sermonizing element which
weakens the present production.
Charles Lover is on the world with a new
novel, called Ono of Them," (published by
the Harpers in their , c Library of Select
Novels,") which, though not equal to Harry
Lorrequer or Charles O'Malley, is yet such
a story as few else could have written. The
scene is a little in England, somewhat more
in Ireland, and considerably in Italy. There
are two capital characters—O'Shea, an Irish
man, and Quackonboss, an American Colo
nel—the latter a noble fellow in his way, who
closes his career, in this book, by volunteer
ing to fight, under Garibaldi, for Italian free
dom.
John Saunders, formerly editor of The Peo
ple's Journal, and author of a play, the name
of which we forgot, which was successful at
the Haymarket Theatre, has given to tho

has made a very neat reprint. There is great

This popular Representative of Philadel
phia has placed himself on the record in favor
of the restoration of peace, *by an honorable
compromise of our present difficulties, as
will be seen by the following short extract
from the debates of the House on Monday
last :
Mr. FtAnnuals. On last Monday, I submitted a
certain resolution embodying substantially what
aro known as the Crittenden propositions, and
moved to suspend the rules to enable me to intro
duce it. In my judgment, that is the first thing in
order altar the expiration of the morning hour to
day. I will defer to the decision of the Chair on
that subject I will not appeal from isle decision
;
but I desire, before the consideration of the special
order begins, that the House shall vote upon a sus
pension of the rules for the purpose of ascertaining
tho opinion of the members upon the subjoot of
the Crittenden propositions ' which, as I have said,
is, in my judgment, now the matter proper before
the Home.
. -
Mr. PhELPS If the gentleman from Pennsyl
vania, on lost Monday, submitted a motion to sus
pend the rules, which motion was pending when
the House adjourned on that day, I think the mo
tion is now beforo the House first in order. Ido
not know what may be the fact ; but if it he,suolt,
that motion must come up in order now.
The SPEAKER. The Chair supposes the special
order moat override everything else.
Mr. PLouElice. Well, sir, I. desire to say that I
hope we may have soon an opportunity of voting
upon what the (wintry have determined is the
proper baste of eetHement of the difficulties with
which we are now surrounded.
Mr. snow. That is the question we are just
about to consider In the special order.
Mr. FLORXERCE. Very well. I only say that
this proposition ought to be presented, and shall be
presented to the House, whenever I can have the
opportunity of presenting it.
The Mississippi River Blockaded.
[From the Cincinnati Gazette of Monday.'
The telegraph despatch announcing that grins
bad been planted at Vicksburg, by order of the
Governoa of Mississippi, to intercept all purling
steamboats, has since been pronounced in the
Boum of Representatives at Vi'rishingten by Mr.
Branch to bo untrue. But the telegraph was right
and Mr. Branoh wrong. The Mississippi river has
been blockaded by order of Governor Pettus, and
all steamboats passing are required to round to and
give an account of themselves. The infamy of
this business neode no commentary at our hands.
We present the following extracts confirmatory of
the statement;
[From the Memphis Avnianolie of January 17.]
Just above Vicksburg, by direction of Governor
Pettus, a battery has been erected, and every boat
bailing from north of Mason & Dixon's lino is com
pelled to round to and give an account of them.

Of course she was all right and wont on. The new

[From the Memphis Appeal, of Jan. Ira'
The orders of the Governor of Missls•ippi to
place a battery of guns at Vicksburg, for the pur
pose of hailing steamers and causing them to land,
has been complied with, as we learn from ono of
the clerks of the Simonds, who informs us that
four guns are placed at the foot of the bluff, a
quarter of a mile above the wharf boat; that,
while the &mond. , lay there, on her trip up the
river, blank cartridges were fired to bring to, and
cause to land, the Gladiator, the imperial, and
the A. 0. Taylor, and that it woo understood that
if the summons were not attended to the next gun
fired would be ehotted. The object of the surveil
lance has not been made known.
[From the Memphis Evening Argus or January lel

Railroad Convention
Wasancorow, Jan. 23 —The Railroad Conven
tion of the five East and West trunk lines has ad
journed, to meet at Now York on the 20th of
February.
A schedule of rates for freights between all East
and West points was adopted. This restores the
figures of the St. Nicholas and Saratoga meetings,
with a slight variation regarding passengers.
The first and second sections of the agreement are
reaffirmed, making the fares uniform and dispens
ing with runners.
The foot was developed in the course of the de
liberations that the freight from the South and
Southwest, with the exception of cotton, had great
ly decreased, while the movemeat of produce front
the Northwest and central West, north of the Ohio
river, is unusually large.
All the roads report increased receipts over
January, 1880. The Increase on some of them was
very heavy; and as an Instance, it was mentioned
that the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, the most
southern of the five great lines, and the increase
of which is lees than that of the others, show an
enlargement in revenue on eastward freight of
$25,000 for the first twenty.two days of the present
month over a similar period of last year.
A general falling off is reported in the passenger
receipts and westward-bound freights. Much of
the produce movement is for Europe. All the five
lines are deriving increased business from the di
version of the cotton of the Southwestern States
from the Southern Atlantic and Gulf ports.
The Convention includes the leading railroad
minds from Massachusetts, New York, Pennsylva
nia, New Jersey, Ohio, Indiana, and Kentuoky.
An excellent feeling prevails, and the prospeot of
the Eastward business is regarded as encouraging.
All the parties seemed earnestly anxious for a set
tlement of the national difficulties, and Senator
Crittenden's plan, or its equivalent, mot with gene
ral approval.
The members of the Convention have exerted
their beat efforts with their respective members of
Congress and others to secure conciliation and
peace.

TRIAL OF THOMAS J. ARMSTRONG.
THIRD DAY
The trial of Thomas J. Armatrong for the mur
der of Robert Crawford, proceeded yesterday,
and was oharaoterised by the same excitement,
the same crowd, and the same indifference on the
part of the prisoner. The testimony on the part of
the Commonwealth still continued to be but a re
petition of that befftkthe coroner, except in the
case of James Garvin, re testified as follows :
r live second and Girard avenue ; I know the
prisoner; we have been raised together, and am
intimately acquainted with him; 88W him the
night of the murder ; he was at the corner when I
came up; it was about 7 o'clock; can't recollect
the conversation we had ; he asked me for the pis•
tol; I got it for him ; went into the house to got it,
and I gave it to him, and told him that it was
loaded with powder and ball ; it was loaded ; I
had loaded it myself with a marble bullet.
Mr. Mann. Did you say that before the coro
ner?
Witness. You did not aek me.
Mr. Mann. Did you not say before the coroner
that you loaded it with a hall?
Witness. Yea ; I call a marble a claylall.
Mr. Mann. Did you ever call a marble a 'clay
ball before?
' Witness. No, sir ; don't recollect telling him to
be careful; loaded it about a week before; can't
say where I got the marble from.
Mr. Mann requested the witness to mark on a
piece of paper the size of the marble.
Witness continued said nothing about this
before the coroner nor - before the grand jury;
never told you when you asked me about it; did
not recollect it ; recollected it the other night while
lying in bed ;loaded. the .pistol to shoot cats • the
pistol was capped as well as loaded ; ho retained
the pistol , the next (Saturday) night, discharged ;
no cap on it; saw the pistol at the station house;
my father gave it to Air. Soblemm ; I identified
it; there were stains on the pistol when I loaned
it z_ cannot ell whether wore blood Maine;
before the coroner I said there was no blood on
it to My recollection; said then that there was
rust on it; nave told persons that the pistol was
loaded with a marble; did not mention it to the
prisoner
Crossexamined.—l am positive it was loaded
with a marble when I loaned it-;• I-have younger
brothers who. use, marbles; .T. - have been in the
habit of ‘leaning it to him for three or four years
bank; he borrowed it to kill a oat; the hammer
of the pistol is broken; think Armstrong had a
mixed coat on ; I noticed nothing peculiar In his
manner when he borrowed the pistol nor when he
returned it; a year before this occurrence, I
burst a cap on this pistol, and a piece of it went
into my finger ; think I loaned the pistol to other
persons besides Armstrong; I go to the same
church with him.
Professor Leidy, who examined the blood, testi
fied as follows : I am professor of anatomy in the
University of Pennsylvania; I have a pistol given
to me in the early part Of October by the coroner;
the pistol is in very much the same condition as
when I received it, except that I took out blood
stains on the lett side of the cook ; also blood on
the babk of the trigger ; also on the upper surface
of the guard beneath the trigger; also in the " pro
cess" or upper book part of the guard ; there were
also some minute drops on the barrel ; some small
scattered drops within the lock ; a dash of blood
upon the inner surface, forming the left side of the
breech; I removed a portion of that for examina
tion; upon the iron the blood is very apt soon to
rust it, and becoming mingled with the rust it is
not easy to distinguish It; a portion of blood on
wood, if in a dry atmosphere, will remain un
changed for years; the ordinary characters ware
those of blood ; that is their color.
Dr. Leidy now entered into an illustration to
the court, of the character of blood, and the
data upon which he - formed his judgment. The
blood sta:ns found on the pistol underwent an
examination, and the corpuscles corresponded
with a corpuscle taken from the body of the
witness, and found them to compare in shape;
a piece of oitoloth taken from the bottom of
the wagon was also subjected to tests, and from all
the tests was positive that it was not the blood of
a chicken, or any bird, and it was so like that of
man that the doctor was unable to tell the differ
ence; the corpuscles corresponded with one taken
from his own body.
Cross examined.—Quite positive that it is not
the blood of a cat, horse, ox, or a sheep ; not able
to tell the ago of blood ; cannot distinguish the
corpuscles of menstrual blood from that taken
from any other part of the body ; there is no dif
. ferenoe that os.n be detected between the corpuscles
of the old and the young ; I will not ewoar that
this is the blood of a man, a dog, or a rabbit,
where the life of a man is in jeopardy.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
Dr. Leidy recalled.—The blood in the look of
the pistol appeared to have got in through the cre
vices; it seemed as if it had been wiped off or
washed off, leaving no blood except on the promi
nent parts of the pistol. [A email leaden bullet
was exhibited to witness, and he stated that it
would readily enter tho pistol. This ball is a very
small one I
Officer John Lamon sworn.—l am one of the de
tectives; I saw the prisoner on Tuesday after the
murder; I went to his residence in company with
the coroner, and invited him to go to the Nine
teenth-ward station-house with me; I asked him
to give an explanation; the coroner said he would
require him to give an explanation in regard to
the wagon; I asked him when he bad been to Mr.
Crawford's, and he said on Thursday; asked him
if he was not there on Friday, and he said no;
asked him what business he had there ; said he
went to colleot a balance on a quantity of yarn
which be bad sold to Idr. Crawford; did not aek
. .
at that time whose yarn ; raid he had sold yarn to
buyinglaril. -times_ ; he said it was Mr. Stinson's
in a man and womaicattifewLassas in the habit of
they had asked him how far he weirgettigNaken
told them he was going as far as Coates street, and -
they asked him to give them a lift, as they had a
good distance to go; the man said the °Wakens
had been killed about an hour, but the blood was
still dripping from them ; be allowed the man and
woman to get in ; the man and the chickens were
on the book seat, and the woman on the front seat;
at Broad and Coates streets they got out, and
thanked him; he then drove down Coates to Se
cond, up Second to Thompson. down Thompson to
Hancock, down Hancock to Otter, across Otter to
Germantown road, down Germantown road to New
Market street, and to the stable; he then went
' home; I did not make search far the man and
woman; the order was given to the lieutenant;
from all I could learn, the man and woman could
not be found ; ho said he took a ride on Broad
street, and be said he drove out Girard avenue ;
did not recollect the road be took to get there;
ho wont down Broad to Prime, where the road
branches off, and took a road to Point Breeze, and
drove down about two miles, and than came back,
. without stopping at any place; he said the ohiek
oris had feathers on, but he could not tell whether
their heads wore off or not; he said there were
eight pairs.
Cross-examined—lre said he had been to Mr.
Crawford's on Thursday morning; I understood
him the Thursday preceding the murder.
Officer Ed. Schlemm sworn.—l made an effort to
find the man and woman mentioned by Armstrong;
I hired a horse, and in company with the coroner
drove down the Neck to Lafferty's; and the
truckers down In the Neck went all around the
farm houses about there and inquired if chickens
had been stolen; found out nothing at all; search
ed a whole day; I saw Armstrong at the Central
Station ; I asked him if he had sold yarn to Mr.
Crawford, and without his brother-in-law's (Stin
son's) knowledge ' and he said be had ; I tint this
piece of oil cloth from the back end of the vtagon;
I don't think it mime up to the back seat; the
bloody part was the under part; the blood had
run down at the back end of the wagon and had
run to the bottom of the wagon, and towards the
front, under the oil-cloth, and had then run out
through a arack.
Cross examined.—l examined his clothing, but
found no blood; can't recollect the color of his
' clothing; at the Central Station he had on dark
clothing and a black hat, 1 think.
Lewis Bull sworn.—l went up Chestnut street to
a toy store, and purchased the smallest marble I
' could End.
This was objected to by the counsel for the de
fence. The fact that this store bad no smaller
marble then this, was no evidence that no smaller
one was ever made.
Mr. Mann desired to show a small marble taken
from a stook in a wholesale store, and then com
pare it with the bullet that fits the pistol, and then
show that it is much larger than the bullet. (The
marble is two or three times as large as the bullet.)
Mr, Kelley insisted that the Commonwealth bad
no right to contradict its own witness
The court ruled that this was not the best evi
dence to be produced, and sustained the objection.
Mr. Schlemm recalled.—Mr. Armstrong had on
a new pair of boots, and be said he had bought
them from Mr. Robinson, and paid for them with a
$5 note on the Kensington bank
i . -
Mr. Robinson testified that he sold a pair of
boots to Armstrong on Saturday, the day after
the murder, and received a $5 gold piece in pay
ment.
The Commonwealth here closed, and the defence
will be opened this morning.
TnE Lynn Reporter states that orders for
boots and shoes continue to be received in that
oity from various Southern cities. They are usu
ally accompanied by a request that, if the manu
facturer has any doubts of the solvency of the
parties ordering, he will please to signify and con
sider the order countermanded Buyers from New
Orleans were in the oily last week.
