The Acquittal of Lets The Wisdom of
Our Juries.
Yesterday afternoon, after fifteen minutes'
consultation, the jury in the case of Thomas
Leis, charged with the murder of George Kller,
brought in a verdict of not guilty, on the
ground of insanity at the time of the commis
sion of the act. The facts of the case are still
too recent to need any extended reference on
our part. Eller was alleged to have committed
a gross outrage on a member of Leis'
family a daughter, about ten years
old. lie was arrested on the charge,
brought into court for trial, and
in the presence of the Judge was shot dead by
Leis, who came armed to the place for the
purpose. It was proved on the trial that the
Accused was not addicted to fits of any kind;
'iat he came with, a deliberate intention
- f killing Eller, secured an eligible posi
tion, ' and calmly and deliberately accom
V iahed his object. With these facts before
im, we are at a loss to see how any sane
. . in could bring in a verdict of not guilty.
L. was evident that the prisoner was insane
o' !y so far as a towering passion may make
s . y one insane; and it required all the pro-
, i bial stupidity of juries to find the verdict
they did.
When we say, however, that the verdict
was wrong, we do not mean to imply that
v.e desired Leis to be punished for mur
der. On the contrary, he has our sincere
.- ympathy, and we would have had him go as
ree as he does by the verdict; but we would
have had the dignity of the law vindicated.
The offense of killing a prisoner in the pre
sence of the Court is one of the most aggra
vated and heinous offenses known to our
laws; and to acquit a man, even when popular
sympathy is deservedly with him, is to expose
ourselves to similar occurrences in the future.
To set a precedent by which it can be thought
that a man is justified in taking the law in
his own hands, is a dangerous act on the part
of men sworn to truly execute the law. The
jury ought to have given a verdict in accord
ance with the facts, with, a recommendation to
Executive clemency, and all good citizens
would have cheerfully joined with that recom
mendation. As the matter at present stands, a
dangerous precedent is afforded, a verdict
rendered which is evidently a wrong one, and
the stupidity of juries fully proved by a ver
diot as erroneous as that in the case of Mary
Ridey.
Concerning Free Speech.
Tub New York World, in speaking of the
riot at Mobile because of the oration of Judge
Kelley, extenuates the offense with a few re
marks, on the subject of the disrespect show
to political speakers by American audiences,
and as a climax of what the people have done,
exclaims:
"Not even the President of the United States
was protected by the dignity of his ollice from
interruptions of the name kind in his noted
tour last year in the iree Worth, which his
enemies called in derision 'swinging round
the circle.' Nobody can have forgotten the
offensive rude news which he encountered at
Cleveland and other pluces, and although, on
one occasion, he seemed, for a moment, to lose
bis temper, he was hurried no farther by his
feelings than to bandy words with the dis
turbers; a condescension which some thought un
dignified, but which was certainly In far better
taste ibnn the Insolent threats indulged in by
Judge Kelley at Mobile. Although the provo
cation was much greater, nobody would have
thought the President Justified in threatening
his auditors with military vengeance If they
reiused to hear him."
From all the facts before us, there is no
doubt but that Judge Kelley was delivering a
peaceable political speech when he was
fired upon, lie was not assaulting any branch
of the Government, as was the President when
lie was interrupted. Anyhow, no one has
accused the Judge of being under the influ.
ence of treason.
Fenians in Parliament.
John Bbiodt presented a petition of certain
Fenian prisoners to the House of Commons
a few days since, and moved its reception,
whereupon a debate ensued, and a Mr. Whal
ley descried a wolf under the sheep's cloth
ing. He said:
Sir, there Is one paragraph in the petition to
which I should wish to cull attention as I
think His worthy of the consideration of the
House, whether it does not of lwelf JuHtify the
motion that has been made. That paragraph
asks that the troops shall be directed to con
duct themselves In a manner becoming the
laws of civilized warfare. I would ask the
House to bear lu mind what I have established,
or have offered to establish namely, that the
late Fenian movement had a deliberate pur
pose, which was that the Fenians should
act in connection wlln the like party
In America, so as to afford grounds for
demanding fiom the Presldeut of the
American Union a declaration that the Fe
nians were a belllgereut power, in wntch case,
as lam enabled to state upon undoubted authority,
very large sums are ready to be embarked in
the enterprise of sending out privateers. If the
llouse accepts this pell Hod, to which their atten
tion Is thus formally called, in which our troops
are described as being in a state of warfare, lu
stead of In putting down alot or freebooters and
soonudrels of every kind and, Indeed, every
kind of origin except the real one 1ms been
attributed to them I ask whether this fact will
noUbe of very material importance in anu future
communication which the brethren olhrse J-Vifan
may think Jit lo inane to me president of the United
States."
To which we have only to reply in a free
translation of Victor Hugo's familiar adjective,
"Bosh!"
Russia Jlatifies.

Uniom Lraoub Ksbayb. Elsewhere in our
paper to-day we publish an advertisement
from the Union League of Philadelphia, offer
ing fllOO in the shape of prizes for the best
essays on the subject of organi.Aions among
the people for the selection of State and
National representatives. The subjeot is a
fertile one, and has for some time past merited
the attention of all publicists. We have no
doubt but that many essays will be written,
butwhether many will contain the requisite
merit is not so easily foretold.
The Pcabody Portrait of the )ueen.
As a slight acknowledgment of his munlfl
cent benefactions to the poor of London, the
Queen of England tendored to George Peabody.
F.sq., the order of knighthood. But Mr. Peabody
still considered himself an American citizen,
and for years had been looking forward to the
time when be should return to his nativo
laud to end his days In peace and quiet. lie,
therefore, felt obliged to decline the offer of
knighthood from her Majesty, who, respecting
the motive which prompted him to do so, was
(.till Inclined to manifest in a substantial man
ner her appreciation of bis generosity. This
was the occasion of her presentation to Mr, Pea
l odyof a portrait of herself and the act was
not without significance, as It was the first In
stance In which she had conferred such a favor
upon a private citizen.
The portrait arrived in this country some time
since, and was formally presented to Mr. Pea
body at the residence of the British Minister In
Washington, just previous to the recent depar
ture of the former for England. We published
yesterday a correspondence between several of
our most prominent citizens and Mr. Peabody,
relative to the exhibition of the portrait in this
city, the response of Mr. Peabody consenting to
the proposition, on the condition that one-half
of the proceeds should be .devoted to the
Southern Relief Fund, while the committee
having the matter In hand were authorized to
designate such local charities as they might
deem proper as the recipients of the remaining
portion. In accordance with this programme,
the portrait has arrived in this city, and we
had the pleasure this morning of examining It.
To-morrow it will be thrown open to the public,
between the hours of 9 A. M. and 5 P. M. ouly,
as It Is to be deposited In the vault of a bank
during the remainder of the time.
The place of exhibition Is the second-story
front room of the establishment of Messrs.
James S. Earie & Sons, at No. 81GCbesnut street.
The room is appropriately draped In dark
brown colors, the stand which supports the
portrait being placed opposite the window,
where there Is an excellent light. The back
ground of this stand is ot dark red silk, with
stripes of blue and of white, blue and red, radi
ating in alternation from the centre. It Is sur
rounded by a loose drapery of red silk, with a
blue band near the margin, and a heavy
Iringe of silver. The drapery is looped, above
uud below, with a red rosetie and Bllver cords
and tasBels, the upper corners being decorated
with the American and British flags. Sur
mounting the whole is a large cushion of red
silk, on which rests the imperial crown, In gilt.
On either side of this Is a heavy gilded mace, the
two being connected with a chain of medallions,
the lower one of which bears the Inscription of
"Jioni soil qui mat ypense." From this depends
a gilded figure of St. George and the Dragon
Grenl credit, indeed, is due to the Messrs. Earle
lor the manner lu which they have arranged
these surroundings of the famous portrait, and
the taste they have displayed renders them
iully in keeping with the central object of
attraction.
The portrait has frequently been described in
the newspaptrs, but not one of these descrip
tions has been written by one who has seen It,
and they have all, therefore, been more or less
In the wrong. The Queen is represented at a
little more than half length, in a sitting pos
ture, with a background of panel work, ana
a small table at her left. The entire painting
is but eight inches In width, and ten in length,
but It is sufficiently large to permit the
arliEt to give what has been pronounced
by herself to be the most perfect likeness
aken of her In late years. She Is arrayed in
the only robes of state which she has worn
since tho death of the Prince Consort, being
those in which she appeared at the recent
opening of Parliament. The dress Is of black
silk, trimmed with spotted ermine, and a long
train of black velvet, similarly adorned. A detnl
crown Is worn over her Marie Stuart cap, tho
Koh-i-noor and a rich jewelled cross, a present
from Prince Albert, constituting her only orna
ments. Over the entire costume is thrown a
white widow's veil, and altogether the royal
personage has Imparted to her a very queen
like presence. On the lower margin of the por
trait, to the left, is the name of the artist who
executed It Frederick Arnaud Tilt with the
date, 1S67, annexed.
The frame in which the portrait Is set is
thirty by thirty-two Inches In dimensions, and
displays the most costly material and the most
elaborate workmanship. There are several
circles of pure gold, richly chased, surrounding
the portrait, and Inlaid with light blue vel
vet and two shades of maroon of the same
material. Ou either side, encircled by an
open wreath, Is a representation of the
rose, thistle, and shamrock, all wrought
in pure gold. Above the portrait Is the
coat of arms of the House of Uuelpn, the
four quarters of the shield displaying a harp,
one Hon rampant and six lions passant, with the
motto, "XNeu et Mon Droit." Above this shiold,
which Is likewise of solid gold, Is a golden
crown, in high relief, of the same material, below
the portrait there is another gold shield, bear.
ing an Inscription In red and black, designated
by the Queen, and containing the following
words:
"Presented by the
liU KEN
to Okobiik PkaHOPY, Ksq.,
the lieueiactor of the Pour ot
Just below the inscription Is a monogrami
consisting, of the Initials V. R. and G. P. adroitly
Intertwined.
The entire cost of the portrait, Including the
material and the workmanship, was $12,000,
and not 875,000, as has been currently re
ported. Tho painting Is done in enamel, on
a slightly convex panel of pure gold. To
bring out the brilliancy of all the colors
in such a work of art, It requires
to be subjected five or six limes to a heat Just
below the fusing point of gold. The utmost
cure Is necessary in preventing the painting
from heating or cooling too rapidly, as in
either case the enamel would crack. A small
furnace was prepared for the express purpose,
and the heating was accomplished with so
much success that the result was what Is proba
bly the most perfect, as well as the most exqui
site, enamelled portrait rm prouueed.
