8 THE SlESHRRECTIdNISTS. The Chjul of the Graveyards Some JTacts About the Mystic Craft-Inhuman Traffic In Dead Bodies-Method of Conducting the Business-A Celebrated Character " Cemeteries West Exposed to the Sacri legious Visitants. K HtiPTK of "ATfllccI Two ntips,"' a celebrated work, which we have aHays thought was too nti(illy Krenchy and tragic ever to have come from the thoroughly Knirliih pen of arle Die Kens, will recollect a charac ter named Jerry Cruncher. Jerry's me mory will live forever In the dual olrcum ntmees that he resuscitated dead (oiks for a living, and entertained a decided antipathy to Mrs. Cruncher's periodical "flopping." Not with, rtandinir the grotesqueness with which the char acter of the man. is invested, In the charming style cf the inimitable author, Its hideous deformity Is made so conspicuous that we canuoU ontomplate It without mingled feelings of pity end d Isinist pity that any man, ideaj though h; be, should be so debased as to prey upon the dead tor a livelihood, and diegust at ttic thoroughness of his debasement. But in the estimation of the world, however shallow It -may bo, men are only pood or ba-i, worthy to be esteemed or worthy to b? despised, by comparison. The only test ot excellence Is a eliding scale, and the best of men rarely bother their heads to enjoin conformity to an indexible Btandard of morality. In fact, the moral law varies with the latitude and longitude of places; and wnat would be tolerable in Paris would be shocking to the moral sensibilities of Philadel phia. Nevertheless, there are crimes that, throughout the civilized world, awaken, by their recital, a general fceliDg of horror and indigna tion. One touch of conscieuce, as of nature, makes the hole world kin. A crime wfcich has always been held in uni versal detestation and which yet, so far as can be ascertained, has always been practised among civilized people, since the necessities of anatomy first made it "pay" is the resurrection of the dead, which legal enactments have never been able to prevent, thoueh they have so hedged it nbout with danger, that thy who follow it must needs he men of most abandoned and desperate matures, rhilftdclphians have heard or known, that in pa6t years rosiu'rectionifts plied their ne farious trade in this city, vyit,h, cpneidcrable audacity and success. The tales of their' daik , deeds jet live to enliven social conversation, and give a weird attractiveness to the budget of nursery-tales. Iudeed, most of the children are better informed in this department of our loc ul history than the grown-up generation. In the same connection, the traditions of the Almshouse are revived; and the leeling of indig nation and horror which prevailed in the com munity about ten years ago, at the discovery thHt the dead bodit-s ot the paupers had been sold as merchandise to medical and surgical col leges, for anatomical purposes, is still fresh in the minds of the people. How may Philadelphians know or eness that the deeds of the resurrectionists are more thau a horrible tradition? now many of us, in our quaintest dreams, have ever dreamed that Jerry Cruncher, the actual Jerry, alive and in the flesh abides among us; walks through the rtreets of our quiet law-abiding city by day, and prowls like a boast ot prey through our still and MOlemn graveyard by night ? The fact is even bo; but worse than any beast of prey is Jerry Cruncher, for beasts of prey will never harm the dead. The race of resurrectionists, so far as Phila delphia is concerned, is by no means extinct. The number of men engaged in the infamous vocation is, of course, very small. In fact, they scarcely exceed a corporal's guard. Without exception they are men of brutal instincts, lost to all sense of shame, and having no fear bat the fear of the law before their eyes. Without ex ception, too, they are men of intemperate habits with whom the craving for strong drink has overcome every honest impulse, and uprooted every sentiment of self-respect that may ever liave had existence in their natures. It is a singular fact, too, that the "body, enatchers" are, as a rule, a cowardly, supersti tious set of fellows. They never think of paying a nocturnal visit to a cemetery without pre viously fortifying the inner man with "eau de vie;" and they never go on such an expedition alone, but always "in couples and groups," like the dancers at the ball of Mr. Lanigan. All of these men have tales to unfold calcu lated to harrow up the soul and freeze the young blood, and make each particular hair of a super stitious head stand up on end. Of course their marvellous experiences are altogether the effect of a lively imagination distorted by bad whisky, and their narratives are a tisBue of fancy, exag geration, and ofttimes braggadocio. A soulless wretch who has snatched five or six bodies from their earthy resting-place, and torn from them the clinging cerements, in which per haps loved hands enfolded them, and loved eyes looked upon them, no longer feels a bit of scruple about the business. He does his work as methodically as a sexton, and with as little in ward qualms. He becomes hardened and iru. bruted, and is fit for anything. For the most part, they are only novices in the business who fancy it attended with superna tural revelations. As the thief doth fear each bnfh an officer, so doth the "green" body snatcher dread each rustling leaf as the footfall of a ghost. Apropos of our weird subject, the late Doctor McMuitrie, Professor of Ph sics and Anatomy in the Central High School, used to tell a curious local story. According to the Doctor, a resur rectionist paid a professional visit one midnight to a graveyard, where the body of a gentleman "who had died suddenly, from natural causes, it was supposed, had been interred. The gentle, man had been In affluent circumstances. The unsolved mystery of his death had rendered pos session of his remains, for purposes of dissection, a matter of Interest to some medical student from the "sunny South, who accordingly hired Jerry Cruncher to resurrect it The Cruncher, keeping up his spirits bylpounng epirit down, worked bravely for an hour, with Io.us toward incident. THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH. PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, He had notliif.g to frar, for he was an old band :t the ibvsincHS, and tho "spirite'' in the black bottle thnt ho. placed against a tombstone, and frequently .invoked, kept off all others of a super natural, obcracter. The grave was lresbt the soil wa looseand the sharp spade, in brawny hands, soon made-a clearing to the coffin. The lid learcmoved with as little noise as pos sible. What horror 1 The dead man ri?c in his coffin to a sHMng poetnre ! The affrighted resur rectionist flings spade away, forgets his coat and bottle, and scaling the wall of the cinetery, pale asfthe uncoflincd runn he leaves behind, he flees as for his life. It was a chill September night, and sitting in one's grave-clot he, five feet below Ihe surface of mankind, is decidedly unpleasant. The gen tleman, so the stoiy run, had been buried alive while in a Ptate of trance, and was revived by the combined effects of the cold air and the shock of disinterment. Possibly, too, the dura tion of his death-sleep was at an end at this par ticular moment. At any rate, he went home; and, having no lutcb-key, was compiled to ring up the family. The folks at home w ere, of course, astounded at his resurrection from the dead. At the lime the affair created quite a local sensation. Sub sequently the gentleman made every effort to ascertain the individual who had done him'the good turn, although from motives most despi cable. He even offered in the public prints a reward of five hundred dollars to the "friend in need," if the unknown party would reveal him. But the unknown was too sharp. He feared to disclose his identity, li'ft the law should lay its heavy hand upon his shoulder. So the secret has never transpired. The men engaged in body-Enatchine in this city rarely make an exclusive business of it. Sometimes tor a lortnight, or a month, tbey will not have a job. In the meantime they turn their hand to anything, should necessity compel them. The craft have a recognized boss, who makes engagements, and hires them for the fub fjlment. The "boss" is a character. He goes by the name of "Jimmy," and lives in the benighted region of Bedford Street, above Sixth. He is as blearcd-eyed, unshorn, dissipated a man as ever daylight shone upon. He may be known, in part, by a pair of s hort-legged boots he wears, with the trousers always stuffed into them. It is rarely, too, that Jimmy if, een without his "cudheen." Jimmy has been at this business for years how many Is not known, ne is well acquainted with the ins and outs of almost every graveyaid in the city. It is said that he is on confidential terms with several of tne sextons and superin tendents. Jimmy and his conlreres operate systemati cally. They always choose the dark nteh'.sj if they happen 10 be rainy no matter. As we have aid, they always work by two. One "burker" (in England they art! .called Durkcrs, alter Burke, a notorious body-grabber), effects en trance into the graveyard, and commences Xo dig at the head of the grave a space about two-and-a half feet square. An hour or so suffices to reach the coitin, the head of which is broken in. Then, with a long hook, the body is pulled up, wrapped in a dark covering, and hastily conveyed to a confederate, who has a wagon in waiting. The waou of course has not been kept standing all the time in iront of the cemetery, but has been driven up and down, to avoid suspicion. The wagon is driven rapidly away, the grave filled up 89 before, and the job, which pays about fifty dol lars, is completed. The business of resurrecting, however, has seen its best days, and is rapidly passing out of existence. Compared with former times it is quite insignificant in extent and protits. In fact, it is beginning no longer to payjbut In exceptional cases, where persons have died from extraordi nary or peculiar ailments, for which science could not account. The dissecting-rooms can now cenerally obtain all the subjects they desire through the legitimate channels, without en couraging an illegitimate and barbarous traffic. The day will speedily arrive when the resurrec tionist, like the gum-man, the child stealer, and the bounty-jumper, will live PtTy in our local traditions. .1111". DAVIS. Why he Is Held In Confinement, and wby be hits nut bsen Tried Tiie Charges Asralnnt IIliu i Treason, lu citing Asnasalnatlon, and Murder of Union ninoneri-Ke Should be Tried Before a Civil Court In Virginia Ulster Justice Chatte Declines for an Indeii mlte Period to Hold any Court there Attorney-General Mpeed Thinks It Is not Practicable to have snch a Trial at Present Ihe CUarg-es Affalnttt Other Prominent Traitors. Washington, January 10. The Presilent to-day transmitted to the Senate a message in reply to a resolution calling upon him to inform that bodv upon what charge Jefferson Davis is conllnea'and why he is not brought to trial. Tne l'rebldtnt encloses reports from the Secre tary ot War and Attorney-General, and at the same time invites the attention of the Senate to that portion of his annual message which refers to CoDgrees the question connected with the holding of Circuit Courts of the United State within the districts w lie re their authority has been intercepted; Wb Department, January 4, 1806. Sir: In reply to the annexed Sena'.e resolutions, passed December 21, ln(J5, reierred to me by you lor re porl. 1 have the honor to state First. That Jef ferson Davis was captured by United States trooDS in the State ot Ueorgia, on or about the tenth day ot May, 18UG, aud by order of this De partment has been and now is confined in For tress Monroe, to abide such action as may be taken by the proper authorities ot the United States Government. Second. That he has not been arraicned upon any indictment or formal charge of crime, but has been Indicted for the crime of high treoson bv the (Jraud Jury of the District of Columbia, Which indictment is now pending iu the Supreme Court of tne said District. He is also charged with the crime of inciting the assassination of Abraham Lincoln, and with the murder ot Union prisoners of war, by starvation and other barbarous and cruel treatmeut towards thThi'rd. The President deeming it expedient that Jefferson DaviB should first be put uoou hia trial belore a competent court and luryiorthe crime of treason, he was advised by the law officer of the Government that the most proper place for such trial was iu the State of Virginia. That State is within the ludiclal circuit assigued to the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, who has held no court thero since the apprehension of Davis, and who declines for an Indefinite period to hold any court there. The matters above stated are, so far as lam informed, the leasona lor holding Jeffe-son Davis in confinement, and why he has not been put upon trial. Fourth. Besides Jefferson Davis, the following persons, who acted ai officers of the Rebel Governing, are imprisoned, to wit: Clement C. Clay, at Fortresn Monroe, charged among other things with treason, with complicity in the murder of Mr. Lincoln, and with organizing bands of pirates, robbers, and murderers in Canada, to burn the cities and ravacre the com nicrce and coasts ot loyal States on the British frontier. D. L. Yulce at Fort Pulakl, chanred with treason while holding a seat in the Senate of the United States, and with plotting to rap ture the forts and arsenals of the United States, and with inciting war and rebellion against the Government S. K. Mallery, at Fort Lalrtvette, charged with treason, 'and with organizing and setting on foot piratical expedi tions against the United States commerce and marine on the hieh sea. Other officers of the so-called Confederate Government, arrested and imprisoned, have been released on parole to abide the action of the Government in reference to this prosecution, and that for alleged offenses, on their application for amnesty and pardon. Among these are 8. A. Trenholm, Secretary of the Treasury ; John A. Campbell, Assistant Secre tary of War; James A. Scddon. Secretary of War; John II. lteacan, Postmaster-General; It. M. T. Hunter, Senator; Alexander II. Stephens, Vice I "resident; and sundry other persons of lew note. Edwin M. Stantoij, Secretary of War. Attornky-Gknkral's Office, January 4, To the President. Sir: I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt from vou of a copv of the resolution ol the Seuate" of the United States, of date the 21st of December, 18G5. In that resolution the Senate respectfully requests to be informed upou what charges and lor what reasons Jefferson Davis is still held in confine ment, and why he has not been put upon trial. When the war was at its crisis Jeffeon Davis, the Commander-in-Chief of the array of the in surgents, was taken prisoner, with other promi nent Ilcbels, by the military lorcesof the United States. It was the duty of tho military forces so to take them. They have been heretofore, and are yet held as prisoners of war. Thoueh active hostilities have ceased, a state of war still exists in the territory in rebellion. Until peace shall come in fact, and in law, tnej can right fully be held as prisoners of war. I have ever thought that trials for treason cannot be held before a militiry tribunal. The civil courts have alone jurisdiction of that crime. The question thcu arises, Where and when must the trials thcroot bo held ? In thnt claue ot the Constitution mentioned in the resolution of the Senate, it is plainly written that they must be held in the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed. 1 know that many perjonsjof learning and ability entertain the opiuion that tho commauder-in-chlef of the Rebel armies should be regarded as eonstructionally present with all the insurgents who prosecuted hostilities, and made raids upon the northern and southern borders of tiie loyal States. This doctrine of constructive presence, carried out to its loeical consequence, would make all who had been connected with the Rebel armies liable to trial in any State and district into w hich any portion of these armies had made the lightest iucursion. Not beintr persuaded ot the correctness of that opinion, but regarding the doctrine mentioned as if doubtful, constitu tionally, I nave thought it not proper to advise you to cause criminal proceedings to be insti tuted against Jeilersou Davis or any other insur gent; in the States or districts in which they were not actually present during the prosecution of hostilities. Some prominent Rebels were personally pre sent at the invasion ot Maryland and Pennsyl vania, nut all or nearly all of them received military paroles upon the surrender ol the Rebel armies. Whilst I think that those paroles are not an ultimate protection for prosecutions for high treason, I have thought that it would be a violation of the paroles to prosecute those per sons tor crimes before the political power ot the Government has proclaimed that the Rebellion has been suppressed. It follows, from what I have said, that I am of the opinion that Jelicr.son Davis and others ot the insurgents ought to be tried in some one of the States or districts in which they may be charged. Though active hostilities and flasrant war have not for some time existed between the United States and the insurgents, peaceful rela tions between ihe Government and the people in the States aud districts iu rebellion have not yet been fully restored. None of the justices of the Supreme Court have held circuit courts in tnpge states ana districts since actual Hostilities ceased. When the courts are open, aud all laws can be peacciully administered and enforced In those States whose people rebelled auainst the Govern ment, when thus peace shall come in fact and in law, the persons now held in military custody as prisoners ot war, and who may not have been tried and convicted lor ollenses against the laws of war, should bo trauforred to the cus tody of the civil authorities of the proper dis tricts, to be tried tor such hieh crimes and misdemeanors as may be alleged against them. I Ihiuk it is the plain duty of the President to cause criminal prosecutions to be instituted be lore the proper tribunals and at all proper times, against tome of those who were mainly Instru mental in inaugurating, and most conspicuous in conducting the late hostilities. I should re gard it as a direiul calamitv, if many whom the sword has spared, the law should spare also: but I would deem it a more direful calamity still if the Executive, in performing his constitu tional duty of bringing these persons before the bar of justice to answer lor their crimes, should violate the plain meaning of the Constitution or infringe in the lest particular the living spirit of that instrument. I have the honor to be, most respectfully, James Speed, Attorney-General. U TEAS, cVo. Jl E X It Y C II A P M A N, No. 932 ARCH STREET, PHILADELPHIA, IMPORTER OF TEAS. HENRY CHAPMAN.
