If the onarter Sessions, over which Judge Ludlow
resided, wre guarded by policemen, the purpose
f which precaution was to protect the witness JUc.
Imielilin against any violence that Plight be at
......ntvd upon him by the desperate friends or the
. i'wmI. Counsel for the defense were in attendance,,
and also the detectives who worked up the case for
me prosecution, and preparation was made to begin
the trial of tliiH most Important and interesting case.
The seieetion or a jury was commenced. John W.
Ui'OoneRiil ns railed to the box, but net aside by
the commonwealth without a challenge, cither
m-remntory or lor cause, which was objected to by
llr Casin'v, for the defense. In support of his action
Mr' JJwigh't cited the case of Warren vs. the Com
itt'nwealih, in which Chief -Justice Tliompson de
sided that the custom of the Commonwealth setting
Hirers aide was an ancient and uniform one, con
timed bv the common law and practice in this
Mn'e aiil w"s sustained. The defense answered
that, this wits so only in felonies .the penalty of
which was death, but it was never so in our courts
in felonies of a lower grade.
The .bntfc, In passim? upon the question, said that
the leading authority in this State allowed this privi
lege to the commonwealth, not as a prerogative, but
its i mi Indulgence, which could work no Injury to the
prisoners, or deprive them of any right the policy of
(he law had accorded thctn; and, governed bv this
Minority, he was bound to sustain the District At-
nmer this ruling a number of jurors were called

In exercising t he right of challenge on the part of
the defense, wiinani jj. juunn. t.n'u, enaticngod
Jacob Frank for causo. and asked him If he knew
what case he was called to try, uud lie said he did
not know particularly what, was the case. Air. Mann
challenged him upon the ground of a lack of intelli
feiiee, saying that if, after seeing a batch of police-'
men lining the halls of the court, the I'nited Stales
Jaw officers aiding the District Attorney (Messrs.
Aubrey II. Smith and John K. Valentine were sitiing
beside Mr. Ciblxms and .Mr. Dwlght), and all this
concourse of spectators gathered in court this morn
ing, the juror did not know wliar case was to be
tried, he certainly had not sntllclent Intelligence to
it in judgment upon it. f course, such a challenge
s this was at once overruled, and Mr. Mann was
bilged to resort to his peremptory challenge.
The Judge said that, as in all cases below the
grade of capital the jury would be sw orn together,
he would in lorm counsel for the defense that
they had the right to challenge before the oath was
itibiilmsrered. He would go one ...tep further, and In
struct the panel that, if any one rf Inem luvl formed
n opinion in this case that would incapacitate him
from pitting, it was hm d'.i'y to let i!; be known.

hiid another railed in his place.

During the week immediately preceding the rtth of

ROBESON.
Humored Opposition to llin ( niinriiintlon by
the fennle The Now C liiie.
If we may credit the statement, subjoined here,
there is a lever being placed in position to upset Mr.
Secretary Bobeson. It will b-; seen that personal
spite and personal selfishness are the moving im
pulses which govern some of our aspiring Con
gressmen. Writes the llaulJ correspondent from
Washington:
There Is a story going about here to the effect that
certain Senators, and particularly Drake, of Mis
souri, intend to oppose the coniirmaUon of Secre
tary ltolieson on the meeting of congress. Neither
Robeson iiorHelknap, it will be remembered, have
yet received a Senatorial endorsement, which Is
necessary to their complete appointment. Orimes'
retirement from the Senate leaves tue chairmanship
of tho Navui Committee vacant, and Drake is said
to be an eager candidate for the position. Drake
is a man of strong likes and dislikes, and is
reported to have some personal spite against Vice
Admlrnl Porter. This spite, it is reported, extends
to Kobesou, whom Drake assumes to be Identical
with Porter, lie believes Porter has great Influence
over Mr. Hobeson, and therefore desires to defeat
the lattir's confirmation lu tlie hope of getting in
some one who will throw Porter overiward alto
gether. This is one of the alleged reasons. An
other is that Congress at its last session cut down
materially the estimates for the navy, which econo
mical hint, it is given out, has been disregarded by
the department, which has expended the entire ap
propriation in addition to such sums as were ob
tained from the sale of war vessels.- The cause of
this expenditturc ought to be satisfactory to inquisi
tive Senators. The department desired to place Ms
vessels in proper trim lor use In case of any diM
cuity that might spring out of the Cuban complica
tion", and laid out tlie money to very good purposes.
A third reason assigned for the anti-ltobeson move
ment is the fact that the great State of Pennsyl
vania has no representative in the cabinet, while
the little penioeratie region of New Jersey is I101;
orej with oue. The KeystonerS think that after two
hard struggles, Buccessfullv made, to keep Honubli
canisni iu the ascendant, in their state, they are en
titled to a Cabinet recognition in preference to
Jerwv. On the other hand it is stated that there is
precious little vitality in the auti-Kobcson move
ment. Tlie Nava! Secretary feels quite easy in lii-i
shoes, ami troubles his mind with no tears as
to his confirmation, Drake to the contrary
notwithstanding. On the reassembling of Con
gress Mr. Ilolesoii and his friend Porter may
suddenly loom up into very great importance.
Should the President net as some of his friends
declare lie will regarding Cuba, Senators will very
probably be in no mood to bother either Hobeson r
Porter. These friends of Grant say that iu his mes
sage he will incorporate all that has transpired in
Cabinet and diplomatically regarding Cuba, and that
he will recommend Congress to sustain liioitcpuh
Ueau cause in the '-ever faithful isle," or at. least ex
press himself in favor of recognizing the struggling
patriots. Should Mr. Fish's prediction of a war with
Spain tiieu come true, of course the struggle would
be mainly on the oceau, and Porter would lie the
man of the hour.
"Out ofHU Hide."
Late Wednesday arteruoon a little girl hastily en
tered tlie Coroners' oitlce and desired the attendance
of one of the Coroners upon her father, David Klein,
llvinit ut No. 4:; Pearl street, at the same time
alleging that he had been brutally beaten and kicked
by a merchant named Younjr, dolupr business at No.
41 Walker street, and wa in a danirerous condition.
Deputy Coroner cushman at once waited upon
Sir. Klein, whom he found Buffering severely but not
at all dniifcerous. i'r. Klein stated that with his
lawyer he called to serve a writ upon SoiienMial
lorit, liookkceper for Mr. Young, when, without
irovocation. the latter sensed linn bv the hair of the
head and kicked htm in the abdomen and ba .'k iu
the most brutal manner. As tin ante-mortem ex
amination was unnecessary, Mr. Klein was recom
mended to make a complaint against Ills assailant
before Judee Ilouan, at tho loiubs. The Injured
man has n iudimcnt against Mont, and a suit is
pending between them in the Superior Court. A. )'.

'Facts are stubborn things," and It is to facts
alujie that it is desired to direct the attention of '
the renders of this article.
Many years of severe and thorough practical
trial bye demonstrated beyond the peradventure
of a tlftubt the fact that the medicines prepared

PILLS, SCHENCK S SEAWEED TONIC, and
SCIIENCK'S PULMONIC 85fRUP, have proved '
cxtiiiordLuiirily successful in tho euro of diseases -of

j am fully aware -that there arc many persons
whor-e prejudices rule them so completely that
proofs strong as Holy Writ ' would full to con
vince them of the elheacy of my remedies; and
that there are others who, under no circum

merits, simply because such an admission would
prove detrimental to their particular personal
Intercuts.
Fortunately mr the welfare 01 mankind, tnese
doubting people form a comparatively small
portion of the community at large. They are to -be
found here nnd there, but, compared with the
treat muss of the world's population, their num
bers are so small that I dismiss them, and ad- -dress
myself to those who are willing to listen to
the dictates ol reason, f.od who aro disposed to .
admit the strong logic of well-established facts.
We are told almost daily that G'onnumpfion,
the scourge of iho American people, Is incurable;
that a man whose lungs are diseased must be .
given over to ale; that he must abandon hope;
and that tho arrangement of his temporal as well
ns spiritual affairs should claim his earliest atten
tion. If there were not facia as undeniable as
that the suu will shine In a clear heaven at mid
day to controvert these random and notunfrc
iiucntly harmful assertions, I should feel un
willing to take up the gage of battle against
them; but, fortiliid with results- facts-which
neither theory nor mere assertion can overturn,
I propose to prove that CONSUMPTION CAN
BE CL'KKD, and that iho medicines I prepare
'1 1 1 V. M AN 1 )1! A K E PILLS, SEAWEED TONIC,
and PULMONIC SVKUf will, if used in strict
accordance with tho directions, in a ma.iorlty of
cases effect that which the faculty pronounces
iuipon-ible tlit-v ir-iUwre Consumption.
An ounce ol solid fact Is worth a ponnd ot
theory. Let me, therefore, present the facts
connected with mv own individual experience.
Many veins ago 1 ns a confirmed consumptive,
mid, li'lte ilioiifuuils of other unfortunates, was
idvcu up to die. Eminent physicians pro
nounced mv case a hopeless one, and told me
that if I had anv preparations to muko for the
ilnul solemn event, that I had better make them
M'tcdilv. I believed this just as conildcntly as
did tlie'persons who thus affectionately informed
nie that my days were numbered and that re
covery was "'impossible. M till, the desire to live
liugercd in my bosmu. I was young, aud clung
to life with me same teuaoity that young men,
and old men ton, ordinarily do. I did not feel
w illing to abandon hoi mi as long as a single ves
Unu of it remained. 1 hud full faith In the sad
iulorniaiioii conveyed to 1110 by my physicians,
but still there was 11 lingering belief that some
thing could be done, though 1 knew not iu what
direction to seel, lor iho much-desired rolief.
Let tbc render remember that these aro not
lucre fancied statements. They aro positive
living lucts of which I it 111 the living evidence.
Full directions accompany each of the medi
cines, so Unit it is not absolutely necessary that
patients should see 1110 personally, uuluss they
ilchire to have their lungs examined. For this,
purpose 1 am personally at my Fkincm-ai.
