The Trial of Wlnncmore.
TnR trial of George W. Winnemore for the
murder of Mrs. Magilton, was concluded yes
terday by the jury's bringiug in a verdict of
guilty of murder in the first degree. We
have no comments to make on this verdict,
hut in the interests of justice we feel that
gome comments ought to bo made upon the
manner in which this trial ha3 been con
ducted. We think that no unprejudiced ob
server who has carefully watched the pro
ceedings in this case, has failed to be im
pressed with the conviction that Winnemore
has not had such a trial as every person
charged with a great crime, and whose life is
in jeopardy, ought to have.
In the first place, there has been an undue
and almost unprecedented haste in the trial of
this man. Mrs. Magilton was murdered on
the 25th of April, and on the same day Winue
morewas arrested as the perpetrator. The
next day he was held for trial. Two days
afterwards, on the 29th, the matter went
before the Grand Jury. On the 3d of May the
prisoner was brought into Court, and as he
had no counsel the Court assigned two fiontlo
men to conduct the defense. In despite of the
repeated protestations of the counsel of the
prisoner, he was hurried to trial. Sufficient
time was not allowed to the prisoner to pre
pare a defense, if he had any. IIi3 counsel
were evidently embarrassed and crippled by
want of time, and the defense was only such
as could be made upon the spur of the
moment.
Now, the question arises, why all this haste ?
Why could not a reasonable time have been
given this man and his counsel to prepare his
case f Even if guilty, he was safely confined
in prison, where he could do no harm. Sup
pose his case had gone over to the next term
of Court, where would have been the harm ?
Some months ago a man was shot dead in
open Court in this city, in the presence of the
Court and of hundreds of witnesses. The man
who did that deed has not yet been tried.
Yet his guilt was open, and beyond all ques
tion. Here is a man rushed to trial, and convicted
on circumstantial evidence alone, within two
weeks after the alleged commission of the
offense for which he was tried. If justice did
not demand the immediate trial of Leis, who
murdered a man in open Court, how did it of
Winnemore, who was only suspected of mur
der f Terhaps a new leaf is to be turned over
in our criminal jurisprudence; but if so, we
would suggest that the docket be first cleared
of some of its old cases. Did the District At
torney intend to make Winnemore a sacrifice
to popular impatience with delays in the
past? Perhaps the cue to his course
in this case may be found in his
remark "that if Gottlieb Williams had
been hung at onoe this murder would not
have been committed, and that the surest way
of preventing future crimes was the speedy
execution of the guilty." But the interests
of justice will never be promoted by trials
which do not command the confidence of the
community. The speedy conviction and pun
shment of criminals is doubtless desirable,
but the enjoyment by the accused of all neces
sary facilities for a fair trial is of infinitely
greater importance. We most sincerely
regret that in this case the onvic-
iim uoes not carry with it that
moral weight in the community which is so
desirable and bo essential to anv health v
publio influence. Winnemore may be guilty
we do not express any opinion on that point
. dui me leeiing or a large portion of the com.
munity is that he did not have a fair chance
to make his defense.
It seemed to be assumed from the start that
he was to be held guilty until he proved him
self innocent, instead of the good old rule
that he was to be deemed innocent until
proved to be guilty.
me Luxembourg Question and the
Teaee of urone.
Despite the warlike despatches we lmv lvuor.
receiving for some days past in regard to the
Luxembourg affair, we have definite news
to-day that the London Peace Conference has
agreed to these bases of deliberation :
"First. The territory of Luxembourg to re
main in possession oi iu jviugui nonaua an
Uraud Duke.
cjnAAf1 Wha nai-itrallr.AMnn fir Ihn Un...l
Duchy is to be guaranteed by all the European
powers participating in the Conference,
"Third. The fortress of Luxembourg in to be
razed."
If all parties are agreed to this, it is difficult
to see how any further misunderstanding can
erow out of the Luxembourg question. We
may therefore hope that the peace of Kurope
will not be immediately disturbed. The atti
tude of France and Prussia towards each other
la such, however, as to leave but little doubt
that a war between the two countries is not
far distant. Each is straining every nerve to
rrocure the most complete and efiective arm
ing of its people; each is maintaining vast
armies ready to spring to the contest at a
moment's notioe; and, what is more strange
and ominous than all else, the people of each
country are apparently mad with a desire to
Imbrue their hands in each others' blood. It
Is only the prudence and reserve of the rulers
that now keep the peace. The French feel
humiliated and exasperated by the powerful
and commandins; position which Prussia has
attained among the nations of Europe. On
THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, SATURDAY,
the other hand, the Prussians are elated and
intoxicated with their great success in the
Austrian war, and thoir subsequent consoli
dation of the powers of Northern
Germany into one great kingdom, and
are disposed to resist any outside interference
or questioning of their present status, or of
their future development. Moreover, they
have an ancient hostility to France, coming
down from the days of the great Napoleon,
which only needs a fitting occasion to break
out in acts of war. With such a state of feel
ing prevailing between the people of the two
countries, a great war would only seem to be a
question of time. Yet all Kurope is in such a
condition, that a war between Prussia and
France would more or less involve tho other
powers. We do not wonder, therefore, that
the rulers hesitate to light that fearful flame
which, once kindled, may burn so fiercely and
disastrously, and may be so difficult to extin
guish. War is every day becoming moro and
more expensive. Most of the European nations
are already struggling undor loads of debt too
heavy to be carried. A general war of any
great duration would precipitate several of tho
great powers into irretrievable bankruptcy.
There are, therefore, strong influences tending
to the preservation of peace. Let us hope that
they may, after all, prove to be tho more
powerful.
PumrE Rkdivivus. General Franklin Peirce
has left his home in the distant Hast, and has
arrived at Baltimore, on his way to visit Jeffer
son Davis. With one exception, this is the
only time we have heard of his redoubtable
Excellency since the nation was left distracted
by his retirement from the Presidential chair.
The career of the great Peirce is one which
illustrates that we are indeed creatures of
accident. Nobody dreamed of Pierce for
President until he was nominated, and then,
after a temporary rise above his level, he was
once more sent into his native obscurity.
The silence of his life was broken by the
writing of a letter in 1861, which richly
merited hanging for its author. And now, once
more, like a comet, he appears after a periodi
cal absence of five years, and goes to visit Jef
ferson Davis, after which he will once more
vanish for five years more.
Dullness Prevalent in the West. Re
ports that come to us from the Western coun
try indicate a condition in the business world
most threatening. There exists a universal
distress in all the branches of trade. The
heavy overflow of the Mississippi has caused
the destruction of millions upon millions of
property, and has interfered with the river
trade, thus cutting the artery which supplies
the business life-blood to the West. Prices
are high, confidence does not' exist, and un
less something occurs to give life to trade, the
papers of the West say they dare not specu
late on what will be the consequences. Com
pared with theirs our condition is healthy,
and while we repine at our own lot, we ought
not to despair, for by comparison trade is
lively iu our city.
The First Church ok the Seminolks. The
Presbyterian mission among the Crooks and
Seminoles in the Indian Territory .was broken
up when Albert Pike misled those poor peo
ple into rebellion. Since those who are left
have returned to their homes, the missiona
ries have resumed their worlr. It has been
deemed advisable now to organize the Christian
Seminoles into a separate Church. Mr. Ram
sey, the missionary, reports sixty-six mem
bers already gathered in, with nearly as many
more who were prevented by distance and
severe weather from attending his meeting.
Describing the transition, he says:
'It was to our mind a strong evidence of
the reality and power of our blessed religion,
to see men who were once fierce savages, whom
the strong arm of Government could not drive
from their tavonte haunts in the swamps of
Florida, now subdued by the victorious Cross,
sitting weeping at the feet of the Prince of
Peace. Ihe greater part of the noted Billy
Bowlegs' band are now members of our
church. Sermon being over, we proceeded to
baptize the candidates lor church membership,
twenty-iour in numDer, ana nve intants. It was
an interesting sight, which will not soon be
forgotten at the bemmole Agency. We then
proceeded to administer the Lord's Supper, of
which nearly one hundred persons partook,
as many Methodists and some Baptist brethren
sat down with ua."
Recognition Long Delayed. Just fiftyyears
ago William Humphrey, a "seven years' ser
vice man," left the British army, and at
seventy-eight years of age he has just received
a reward from his grateful country. The old
man went through the l'emnsular war, doing
his subordinate duties in a creditable way, and
within the last month he has received his pen-
hiou oi ninepence oauy.

Although there has been a good deal of newspaper
and legal discussion upon this subjeet, yet the general
public do not fully oornprehend the matter In all Its
details. The tallowing plain statement of Iscls will
shed a Unlit upon the whole affair, and enable the
community to Judge for themselvesi-Durlng the
eiciteroent Incident to the Crosby Opeta House
scheme. It occurred to several patriotic gentlemen of
this city and New York that by a similar enterprise
snlliclent rnnds might be raised to erect a' Soldiers
National Home." It was Bellied that the battle-Held j
orGellysburg should be selected as the sile. j
While the matter wasundor discusiloti, theie gentle- .
men heard that during the war a lari;e quantity or
diamonds and oiher precloiiB stones had boon pur- j
chased by different parties In the North from the I
people of theHoutb; and thai this whole valuable col
lection was then In the posfesiion done gentleman In
New York. It was proposed to at once announce
theptoject to the public, purchase these jewels, and

Tlicro were two dllllcullies in the way of mnklug
the scheme a success: Vrf, to find some person or
persons willing to advance the necessary capital to
purchase the Jewels, and thoroughly advertise the
enterprise In every Journal in tue loyal mates, ana
assume all risk- of failure: and. leeond, to secure a
charter for the purpose trom the Legislature of either
New York or Pennsylvania, Two gentlemen volun
teered to provide the capital, provided the enterprise
was properly chartered by the Legislature, and they
were permitted to rctalu a profit for themselves as a
consideration for the risk and labor Incldeut to Its
management. The plan was Immediately laid
before General Meade; lie was Informed of the method
by which the funds were to be raised, that the
gentlemen who undertook the risk were to retain
a prolit for themselves, and that when the enterprise
was omatilxed, Its management was to pass Into the
hnndsof those who had agreed to Incur the expense
of Us conduct. With this distinct understanding,
Ut neial Meade consented to the use of his name as a
corporator. Generals Beaver, Peunypucker, and
isiekel also contented to the use of their names, A bill
was drawn and submitted to Senator McConaughy, of
Uettybburg, who, alter altering and amending It In
many material points, read It In place, and It paised
unanimously. It was afterwards called up in the
House, and, alter considerable discussion, was passed
by that body. Three days afterwards, It was
messaged back to the Senate and signed by the Gov
ernor. Hud It been necessary to tmuggle this bill
through the Legislature, It would, after Its passage,
have been quietly burled, to be exhumed alter th9
aQJourcmeiit. But such was not the case. Thecur
poiators were Immediately noil fled to assemble on
the 14tli of March at 4 P. M. (the bill passed on the
eih), and Generals Beaver and Pennypacker were
telegraphed to also. General Meade was watted upon
peisonally and urged to be present, but was pre
vented by reuson of a previous engugoment to visit
New York, Generals Beaver and Pennypacker
were also prevented from being present, the
lormer by a painful accident. Ou the Htb of March,
at the time appointed, two corporators were present
In person. General Sickel and Mr. Bergen, aud Gene
rai Pennypacker was represented by General Col Us.
under a power of attorney. At this Hrst meeting the
whole object of the enterprise and the means to
accomplish the end were lully discussed, aud Ihe gen
tlemen who were to advance the necessary capital
and assume all the rl'k of success or failure were
elected members of the corporation, and some of
them were appointed a Board bf Supervisor to con
duct the scheme to raise funds lor the erection aud
maintenance of this Institution, as provided for by
the act for the faithful performance ol which duty
they tiled their bonds for l-S.uoo each.
The act provides that before exercising any of the
privileges conferred by the charier the corporation
shall pay Into the Slate Treasury the sum of fio.uoo,
which Is to be at once applied to the preservaliou of
the baltle-lleUI, When this amount was paid lu by
the Board ol Supervisois, General Sickel was directed
In writing by "George G. Meade, President," to pay
over said amount to the Mute Treasurer, lu coinpli
ai wlih the act; but the State Treasurer declined to
nwarve tiie money, and In this be was sustaiued by
the Honorable Benjamin Harris Brewster, Attorney
General. In consequence of published letters of the Attorney
General, a second meeting of the corporators was at
once culled at which M the original corporators
were present, and the minutes of the previous meet
ing were adopted ut this meeting General Meade,
the President, slated that "he fully understood that
tbefuues for the erection of the institution were to
be raised by 'gift distribution,' that be knew that the
parlies who undertook the management of the enter
prise would realize a profit tfcr themselves, and that
be knew tbe management ot the affair was to pass
Into other bands upon the organization ot tbe
corporation. But be objected to tbe proba
bility of the Board of Supervisors reaping "a
large and unlimited prolit for themselves." He then
tendered bis resignation, which was accepted, statlug
that tbe Attorney-General bad Informed him that the
scheme was Illegal, and, therefore, be considered it his
duty to withdraw: to which, of course, neither the
Coiporatiou nor the Board of Supervisors could object.
Geneiai James A. Beaver, who has lost a leg in bis
couutry's service, was, with hit full consent. Immedi
ately elected to fill the vacancy, and General Sickel
was, with his full consent, retained as Treasurer. Gen
tral Pennypacker, wbo had received orders to report
ut Nashville, on that account, and on no other, resigned
bis membership, first entering upon the miuutes bis
ratification of the action of General Col lis under bis
power of attorney. So much for tbe allegation that
tbe Corporators bave repudiated tbe enterprise.
Tbe foregoing is the history of the conception,
design, aud organization of this Enterprise. Now a
few words as to tbe iiimicnsb profit to be realized
by tbe Managers. Tbe Board of Supervisors having
already Incurred heavy expense, have based their ad
vertisement for their "First Disposition" upon their
'utenilon to reimburse themselves tor large expenses
of printing, engraving, aud advertising, which will be
materially lessened wueu the enterprise Is thoroughly
known aud appreciated, aud therefore bave beeu com
pelled to ask lor 80,000 subscribers at Aj each. These
subscriptions will be received by about 20UO agents,
and, when the books are ordered 10 be closed, in least
lu.dOti certificates will remalu undisposed of, scattered
umongst these different agents aud even this will be
esteemed a grand success.

Tbe attacks of the I'lihlic Ledutr agaiust this com
mendable enterptlse would lead ihe public to believe
that the building of tbe "Soldiers' Home" wan made
entirely u u vondury consideration by the managers of
this enterprise. The public will now readily see that
a project to realize even a comparatively small
amount requires an Immense outlay of ready
money. There are at present. In a flourishing
condition, several "Institutes" lp this country
built by one of the "Board of Supervisors" of
this project by somewhat similar means
to tbose adopted In this Instance, but In those cases
tbe managers were not discouraged oy Insinuations
against tbelr honesty of purpose. Tbe gentlemen wbo
bave undertaken to build tbe "Gettysburg Asylum
for Invalid Soldiers," mean to do it, and make It
crtdlt to tbe nation, and a lasting monument to the
berotc deeds of tbose wbo will be Its bonoied Inmates,
and especially to tbose wbo gave tbe first real crush
ing blow to tbe Bebellion upon (lis Held of Gettys
