Thirtbh days have been devoted by the Court of Quarter Seulons to h-ariug the evidence, arguments, and charge la the cane of the Com monwealth againBt George 3. TUcheU Jr There has probably never been a trial In Philadelphia which secured so great a hold on the public Interest. Tue bloody and unnatural orime of which the prisoner stood convicted, the fortune and somewhat iuttaential oonnec tlon by which he wa. b.kJ, and, above all, the belief in the public mind that the poUvnt influence of certain lawyers would, through some device, secure LU acquittal, all caused a painful anxiety to be felt TLe fact that of late oriuie has been on the Increase, and the conviction that if punish ment was not meted out to Twitohell life would become insecure, rendered more momentous the issue. Every device, trick, or quibble of which the case wu BUtoeptibla was resorted to by the defense. TLe prisoner's oounsel numbered among t'aem the two members of the bar bo were, through aome fiotion of imagination, supposed to poj . .v. Tvnnr-r to wluilrt iuaiioe in favor of DOOM tuo - - m their ollent. These gentlemen, wno are sup posed to be the only capable proseoutord iu Philadelphia, were for the Ueteuae, ana a new and untried District Afuruoy, unacquainted from experience with the workings of tue Q aar ter Sessions, with two assistants, well known as gentlemen and civil lawyers, but never seen at the oriminal bar, were all the representa tives of the Commonwealth. The jury, after having all the fact?, and boiog nearly deaf ened with the oratory of the defense, took Just thirty-five minute to consult together, and brought in a verdict of "guilty of murder In the first degree." 1 To this veidict the great voice of public Sentiment has said "Auieu t" From all ohusei has the expression ol the prisoner's guilt gone up. Kvery man seemed couviuoed that be was the real crimiual, yet few believed that he would be convicted. TuU anomalous nnndltinn of afl'airs was due to the belief that the old "ring" iuflueuoe coull reoeive acquit tal on any charge, provided sufficient feei were given. The veidict has shattered that idea, has broken it in'.o jte.J, aud shows how utterly powerless is auy lawyer to corn bat earnest argument, houer-ty, aud zeal on the ai nf the Commou wealth's olliier. We jf - " - would look at the docisiou in two lights: First, as to its justice iu regard to Twitchell himself; Beoondly, in regard to its inilaence on the publlo peace. So tar as the fairness of the trial was concerned, we have heard but nna vnlnn. which commends it as the most fair of any that ever took place in court. The prisoner had every advantage. The Court properly leaned iu bis favor so as to give him the benefit of a doubt, lue prose anting ofiioer took no unfair advantage, and the charge of Judge Brewster was a model of ability and nicely balanced equity. What ever had been the impression previous to the verdiot, we think the people will confirm the deolsion of the jury. It must be remembered that the outside public see as ex parte the value of the evideuoe. We read it iu the capers In that lifeless style in whioh it must appear on paper. A condensation of what is id nfifBsrilv impairs tue tiled, uiu aoove all the presence of the witness, his mauner, air. countenance, and general willingness or unwillingness to testify, are lost to the reaier, but are all watched by the jury. Twelve men sworn to deal justly, aud devoting all their time to the subjeot, and that alone, would eenerally arrive at the truth. Bat when it is remembered that if one out of the twelve fail to be oonvlnoed, the prisoner would be saved, the ohanoes of his escape as against his 00a viotion are at fearful odds. But the publlo opinion in the present case has all leaned iu favor of a oonviction. People read the evi dence for themselves, weighei It, and the ver diot of popular judgment was "guilty." The Ingenuity displayed by Furmaut-heppard, Esq., assisted as be was most ably by Henry S. llagert, Esq , and Richard Ludlow, Eaq., was of a kind to surprise even those who felt most sanguine of his talents. They have by their management of the case shown themselves rare oriminal lawyers, and Mr. llagert ha exhibited a genius as a oross-examiuer which is as remarkable as it is rare. Uuder Mr. Sheppard's administration there will certainly be no lack ef the ability which Is said to lnve been monopolized previously iu thatoourt. Judge Brewster's charge was a model of lm artlalitv. and was of a character whioh we from a iurist of his intellectual fJroV- mm - . -ttnniiArd. In regard to thu second light in which the verdiot must be viewed, uameiy, iu flnnoft on the public peace, we can . .!ma it 1'iioortauoe. There his UOV OVW " r betn an opinion, possibly arising from some cod foundation, that no matter what crime a man was guilty of, if he had enough money to secure the services of certain lawyers he could get off. Among the ruffian, blacklegs, Ramblers, and all that oU of the population, L yea prevailed that 5U00 would secure itu. How it was to be done was not known, bat buoh wa the prevalent . oednn. There U no such murder whioh will gain him $20,000, he will hesitate now before he commits it. The day, if it ever existed, when money could influence justioe, is passed, and all know the faot. In any coma unity it is a great publlo evil, it is a danger of the greatest magnitude, for a feeling to be prevalent that a oriminal oau escape through the legal influenoe of any one manor set of men; and the good people breathed freer to-day than they bad for years as they found the most oonvinolng proof that no oliqne or 00 corruption can delay justioe. The convlot was rioh, defended by all possible influence, and was found guilty. None who are criminals oould unite more elements iu their favor, but popular and legal judgment alike found him to be the murderer. Every one may at last see in praotioe the poetlo sentiment: T"0' the mills of God grind slowly, Yet they grind exceeding small; Tho' with pjllence He stands walling, VVltn exactness gMwU He all" lleconst ruction nml the Incoming Ad min Ut ration. It is highly desirable that all the issues aris ing out of reconstruction should be adjusted by Congress prior to. the fourth of March. The interest with whioh this subjeot was at one time invested has already greatly diminished, end the whole work is so nearly finished that there is no good reason for procrastination in referenoe to the few details requiring further legislation. Andrew Johnson will rank in history as the head of a reoonstruo- tion administration, and as ono who, while jhamefully negleoting all the general duties tf the Presidential offloe, failed utterly in achieving the objeots which speoially en crossed bis attention. lie virtually tried to fuppress Congress, and Congress in turn, not withstanding the failure of impeachment, has yalsied the arm of the Exeoutive and made residential vetoes as nueatory as De mocratic editorials. The real govern ment of the country has been trans- ftrred to Congress to a larger extent than at any former period of national history, the central subjeot of dispute being reconstruc tion. Although Andrew Johnson is no longer a foeman worthy of the steel of the famous and favorite Representatives of the people, they owe it to their own dignity and to the loyal interests they have espoused, to com plete during his term of office the work they have thus far auspioiously proseouted, so that he may retire to the aldermanio shades of Greenville bo completely foiled at every point that his fate may Berve as aperpetaal warning to traitorous executives who would betray confiding constituencies and antagonize the American people. Very little further legisla tion is necessary, but the new safeguards which are required should be promptly esta blished, and an opportunity should be pre sented to all the States of adopting a uniform Byttem of suffrage. This whole subject should be disposed of whilo the disoussious to whioh it has given rise are fresh in the memory if the publio. It Ehould ba finally adjusted now, because the pressing neoessity for the conslde lation of financial topios will presently foroe it into comparative obscurity. It Bhould be adjusted to complete the victory of Congress, the overthrow of a treacherous President, ana th Trntotion of Southern loyalists. Bat in the public taste. While admitting the foroe of many of the arguments advanoed by the artists, the press of the oountry, almost with out exception, discouraged the Idea of a pro tective tariff on works of art, on aooount of the impossibility of deoldlng by legal enactments on the merits of plotures and statues, and be cause a protective tariff would exolude many meritorious works, aud, without benefiting our home artiste, it would have a damaging effect on Amerioan art. The artists have now started a new protec tive movement whioh we think is in every wsy worthy of enoonragement and support. As the matter now stands, plotures and statues can be copied ad inhaUum, to the serious in Jury of the artist's pocket and reputation, and yet be ean obtain no redress. 8ome months ago Mr. Edward Moran wrote a letter exposing the case of a pirated copv of one of his plo tures, whioh was exposed for sale as original; and this instance is but one among many, the best and most popular artists being the greatest sufferers. When an artist sells a work, it is understood, as a matter of oourtesy, that he does sot cease to oontrol its daplioation, unless there is an express understanding to that effect at the time of sale, but beyond the rule of oourtesy he has no protection what ever. Elnoe the introduction of photo graphy, eppecially, the evil they com plain of has greatly inoreased, and by the pirating of their designs they are deprived of a revenue from their works to whioh they are justly entitled. The chairman of a meet ing held a few days ago in New York to con sider this subject, very forcibly remarked that "the man who invents a new mouse-trap or flvinir machine mav take out a patent for ff r m - every part of his invention, but the painter cannot take out a patent for his ptoture. A soulptor produoes a statue, but he cannot patent it. A photographer oan take a view of the Statue, aud inscribe thereon 'entered ac cording to act of Congress,' and if the soulptor were to take a similar view of his own work he would be liable to a suit for infringing on the patent of the photographer." No reasonable arguments can be urged against the passage of a copyright law for the benefit of artists of every description. No damage to art in general, or Amerlcau art in particular, would result from such a measuro, as in the oase of a protective tariff designed to exolude works of art from the oountry: and as a matter of simple justice, the artists are a3 much entitled to the benefits of legal pro mo tion against the piratioal multiplication of their woiks as the authors are. The copying of pictures and statues by means of photo graphy and ohromo-lithography is getting to be an extensive and important business, aud the aitists oeriaiuly ought to share iu the profits. We hope that those who are in terested will oombine aud push this matter with energy, and wo are oonfidnnt, if it is properly represented to Congress, that a satis- factoiy law will be passed. The newspapers of the country are, we believe, without excep tion anxious to advance the interests of the artists, and, as far as their Influenoe ex tends, will aid in bringing about the desired reform.
