Ike BEDFORD, PA.. FRIDAY JIFF. 8, fSfi.i. Reminiscences of Court Week. Court week is generally a busy hurrying season and all except lawyers and hotel-keep ers rejoice when its worry and vexation are over. The last, though one of less than usu al labor on the part of the members of the bar, presented many features of more than ordinary interest. The most striking were tbo9e brought out by the Reed trial. The re markable psychological phenomena devel oped in the panelling of a jury, are probably unequalled in the history of criminal juris prudence, and present an interesting field for the investigation of the student of mental philosophy. That men should have formed and frequently expressed opinions as to the guilt or innocence of the prisoner and yet when called as jurors have no opinions at all, may seem strange to many, but t must be true, for they testified to the facts. That others who had formed and expressed opin ions, yet felt perfectly confident of their abil ity to try the prisoner impartially, certainly speaks highly for the menta' ability- of the Democratic jurors of Bedford county, as in telligent men everywhere are aware of the great difficulty oflaying aside one's prejudices and judging impartially a case in which those prejudices are involved. Jurors in our Coun ty seem, as testified to by themselves, to be entirely free from these frailties so common to humanity. Still more remarkable, if pos sible, is the case where jurors have also been summoned as witnesses and have lived in the immediate vicinity of the fatal occurrence or been personal enemies of one of the parties, and though utterly oblivious of being sum moned as witnesses, us well as the counsel . who bad them summoned, yet whose memo ries were retentive enough to recollect that they had never even formed, much less ex pressed an opinion on the case, and who felt themselves not only capable, but so eminent ly fit to try the case as to make persistent ef forts to get themselves placed upon the jury. The phenomenon, in the case of the keeu sighted witness, of one faculty or sense ac quiring an extraordinary development at the exposure of some other, is one of more com mon occurrence. The fact that the District Attorney, who never but once before had ad- j dressed a jury, should have felt it to be his duty to make the closing speech, especially when, as he acknowled, his feelings and prejudices were in favorof the prisoner,and he had assistant counsel abundantly able to take care of the interests of the Commonwealth, is a remarkable case of conscience and evinces an extraordinary, though not altogether un accountable tenderness. Altogether, jurors, witnesses, 4c. have proved themselves very apt students, under the Gazettes instructions not to make up their minds on the case, and those,who did not heed the admonition,had no scruples about laying aside former opinions, when their v/ork required it. SNAKES IN COUNCIL! A LECTURE. The remnant of the Copperhead host fearing a failure on the head of the news from New Jersey, thought to avoid tho ig nominy, by calling a meeting of the Key stone Club for court week, instead of the usual mass meeting. They also took care to inform their people that a certain indi vidual by the name of Shunk from York, Pa. would deliver a lecture. The design was to entice enough people, from both par ties, there, under the delusive title of a"Lec ture" to save them from the morticatian of a failure. After repeated ringings of the Court House bell, we, with a few friends, led by our curiosity to see the snakes wrig gle, wended our way to the Court House. The house was cold, the meeting unorgan ized, and scarcely enough copperheads there to fill the bar. After considerable parleying, the meeting was called to order and Mr. Shunk made his appearance and informed the audience that Jie proposed to lecture on "Abolition Yankee Literature. " We were at once struck with the apparent verdancy of the individual. The lecture fully con firmed our first impression. His statement, that the events of the last four years had so busied the minds of the party and its lead ers, with the heavy literature of draft noti ces that they had no time to spare for the higher walks of literature, was fully verified by the style of his so-eallcd lecture. The intimation that ten dajs was a snort notice on which to prepare for glory, death, or (here the speaker seemed to hesitate as to the propriety of adding, or Canada, but in consideration for the returned wanderer* pres ent forbore) fell with chilling effect on the members of the club. The pith of the tirade, for appearance sake dubbed a lecture, was the abuse attempted to be heaped upon that New England literature, for want of which, and the intelligence accompanying it, the lecturer related with mournful emphasis, how his ignorant progenitors, were mulcted by sharpers. The would-be-lecturer him self forgot for the titne, that the little Eng lish he managed to get into intelligible shape, had been taught him, in all probability,by a vankee school-teacher, from a Cobb's, Emer son's or some other yankee spelling hook of a later date, that when he used a word he did not know the meaning of, and be did it often, it was all for want of reference to an unabridged Yankee, Webster's or Worces ter's Dictionary. To give an idea of the very ethereal character of his remarks, we give, verbatim, his statement of the effect upon his mental constitution caused by the sight of a wood-cut of old John Brown, he said: "/ mid nothing, but Tgnee utterance to a mild aspiration What that aspira tion, uttered in a moment of speechless sur prise, was, he did not inform his audience. After a general acknowledgment that New Englanders wrote more, thought more, pub lished more books than alLthe country be side, were first to see where an advantage could be gained, in fact wer# the shrewdest people in the land, and were really shaping the policy of the country (we don't mean to intimate that he did this intentionally) until his keepers began to think he had turned abolitionist, he seemed suddenly to recol lect his position and immediately proceeded to warn his hearers, to beware of books, pa pers and periodicals generally, and of Sun day-school books and preachers particularly. He next regaled his audience with a rehear sal of the beauties and virtues of the Har per publications, in the palmy days when they published such charming illustrations of prize fights and other popular pastimes, and were in the front rank of Democratic publishers, warned them against tbe pernicious influence of those pestilential sheet), in these degenerate days when tlmy have forgotten the glories of the prize ring and race-course, and have given themselves to the advocacy of universal freedom. the integrity of the Union, the spread of gener al intelligence, &c. in other words Since they have in reality become " Journals of Virili zation." The spread of intelligence and the love of reading among the people, has play ed havoc with the cops of late years, hence the leaders lift up a warning voice to their followers directing thera to carefully exclude books, papers and preachers.from their fire sides, if the Democracy is ever again to re gain i:- "id ascendancy. The richest joke of tho evening came off, when a meek look ing individual in a corner of' the room rose up, and with becoming solemnity suggested, the propriety of asking a copy of the lec ture for publication. The idea of publish ing a production that had failed to elicit, on its delivery, a single hearty cheer,was so un expected,and of so doubtful an expediency, that it only received about a dozen votes, most "f them from republicans present, the only ones who really enjoyed the "un. A BAR. In some Courts of Justice, there is a sort of charmed circle, or enclosure, embracing the Jury boxes, which is regarded as sacrod to the use of the Judges, Jurors on duty, members of the Bar aud students of law. Bedford County is entirely too democratic to tolerate such exclusiveness: true she has the enclosure but it is no charm ed circle. A tradition still exists, that it al - so partook of this exclusive character in the days ot "Aula Lang Syne" but the barriers have loug been broken down. Fbo rules as gathered from observation by which this very desirable object was accomplished seem to be as follows: with a dignified walk and an air of impcrturable gravity each man or boy as he comes in at the court room door, should fix his eye on the most desirable empty seat either in the jury boxes or among the chairs, Lake possession of it and become a fixture there. When there are no more empty seats, the best plan is to take a position be hiud the chair of some member of the bar, or one of the judges, watch your opportu nity and the moment lie gets up slide into his seat; if he has tho impudence to return and show signs of surprise, you have only to put on an air of indignation at his pre sumption and he will in all probability stand j up or take a back seat in the audience out side the bar and leave you alone in your glo ry. The most trouble.-ome persons are the aged, grayhaired men, as you are always ex pected to respect gray hairs. The only way to manage these is not to see them; don't let on you are aware of their presence, they may look around a little, but will generally take a back seat in the end. If the dirty faced boys and loafers about town will care fully follow these rules, they can generally obtain a comfortable seat inside the Bar and with a little practice may occasionally secure the Judge's seat. "MORAL ASPECT OF THE REED CASE." Under the above head, and others,the Ga zette of la-t week ventilates the Reed Case after a fashion of its own to the extent of three and a half columns. The tone and language of the various articles are anything but flattering to the moral character of ei ther editor or paper. They are suggestive in themselves, as an index of the morals of the individual who undertakes to discuss the 'ITTORAL aspect of the Reed Case." The moral aspect of the ease will only be under stood, when after a careful study of the ev idence, the Judges charge, and the verdict of the Jury, the facts are taken into consid eration that, of the 60 jurors summoned, 52 were democrats and those not by any means, with a few exceptions, the best men among even the Democrats of the county and fur ther that in panelling the jury the defense not only carefully excluded every union man but peremptorily challenged some of the best Democrats that were called; now all know that peremptory challenges are resor ted to, only when there is no legal object tion to a juror whom the challenging party determines to exclude. Now all the evidence goes to show that the defence did not only not dare to trust the case to a jury upon which there was a single Union man,even foi appearance sake, but that they did not dare trust it to jury of the best Democrats of the county. And, further, we believe that wit! a jury of the best men of the Democrats, Reed would have been found Guilty oJ Manslaughter, at least if not of Murder in the first degree, and that this was the reason that the best men even of the Democrat.' were peremptorily challenged by the dc fence. THE IIAYTIEN REBELLION. HAVANA, Nov. 25. —Jamaica and Gape Haytien advices to the 17th of November have been received by the steamer Carra belh. The ex-Emperor of Hayti, Soulouque, his Prime Minister. Solomon, and twenty four others of his family and suite are pas sengers by the Carrdbdls , on their way for St.Thoruas, having been banished from Ja maica by the British. The insurrection is reported as entirely subdued. Paul Bogie, the leader, forty two years of age, with many others, had been publicly executed, and there are others un der arrest, also condemned to death. Cape Haytien has been bombarded by two British war steamers, the city reduced to ashes, and the ports destroyed. The troops of Geffrard are in possession of the ruins of the city. Many of the Rebels were killed and wounded. This town was the strong hold of the Rebellion, and it is generally be lieved that the Rebellion is at an end, Gef frod retaining the Presidential chair in tran quillity. The British Consul-General. Rob ert Burch, the famous Burch, of Charleston blockade notoriety, has been appointed Charge d'Affaires to the republics of Cen tral America to reside at Guatemala. The steamer Liberty arrived to-day. The Hnulrick Hudson has been repaired, and will sail for Philadelphia to-night. President Johnson, in a proclamation dated Nov. 30, announced the restoration of the writ of habeas corpus in all the States and Territories excepting Virginia. Kentucky, Tennssee, North and South Carolina. Geor gia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisi ana. Arkansas. Texas, the Dirtrict of Colum bia, New Mexico and Arizona. On the l"th ult. a party of Indians in the northern part of the State of Nevada, among the Black Mountains, were attacked and one hundred and twenty of them killed, by 60 California volunteers. One Californian was killed and two wouaded. FROM WASHINGTON.

The re turns of each were considered irregular by the Governor of the State. The caucus proceeded to the selection of candidates for officers of the House, when lion. Schuyler Colfax, of Indiana, was nomi nated for the Speakership, by acclamation, and so was lion. Edward Mc Pherson, of Pennsylvania, for Clerk. For Sergeant at aruis, Midway, of' New Hampshire, was also re-nominated unanimously, Colonel Ingram having withdrawn asacandidate. For Door keeper, Goodenow, of N.

The Democrats, about twenty five or thirty in number, also held a caucus to night in the Judiciary Committee room, Hon. \\ infield iu the chair, and Hon. Samuel J. Randall, Secretary. They bad an interchange of views and decided to hold an adjourned meeting on Monday morning at 10 o' clock, to nominate candidates in opposition to the Republicans. THE OPENING OF CONGRESS.

Stockton, Senator elect from New Jersey. Mr. Cowan (Pa.) presented the protest of the members of the Legislature of New Jer sey, alleging that a majority of that body had not voted for Mr. Stockton, and he was not therefore, const itutionally elected. The protest was ordered to lie on the table for the present and Mr. Stockton took the prescribed oath. Mr.'Summcr (Mass.) introduced bills of the following titles: Bill to carry out the principles of a republican form of Govern ment in the District of Columbia; a bill pre scribing an oath to maintain a republican form of Government in the rebel States; a | bill in part execution of the guarantee of a j republican form of Government in the Con ! stitution of the United States; a bill on the subject of appronriatc legislation to enforce the amendment of the Constitution and pro hibiting slavery: a bill to preserve the right of trial by jury, by securing impartial jurors in the courts of the United States; a bill to enforce the guarantee of a republican form of government in certain States whose gov ernments have been usurped and over thrown.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 4. The galleries arc densely crowded and much good humor is prevalent among the members. At noon, Mr. McPherson, the clerk of the House, proceeded to call, as required by law, the roll of the members elect. When the roll was being called Mr. Mavnard, of Tennessee, whose name is not on the list, wished to suggest something, but the clerk refused to be interrupted. After the call was completed Mr. Mav nard again rose, but the Clerk again ruled him out of order. One hundred and seventy-five members answered to their Dames. -Mr. Brooks (New York) made a speech characterizing the omission of the members from Tennessee from the roll as unprecedent ed. If Mr. Maynard was not a loyal man, iroui a Union and loyal State, the President himself was not loyal but an alien and a stranger. He charged that the adoption of the reso lution by tbe Republican caucus was design ed as antagonistic to the President's forth coming message. The House took no action on the subject, but under the operation of the previous question, proceeded to the election of a speaker. Mr. Colfax, of Indiana, and Mr. Brooks, of New Vork, being placed in nom ination. The result was announced as follows: Colfax 138; Brooks 35. Mr. Colfax was de clared elected amid applause from the floor and galleries, and was conducted to the chair by Mr. Morrill and Mr. Brooks. Mr. Colfax made a brief but eloquent and patriotic speech.

Mr. Dawson moved to lav the resolution on Die table.

We clip the following sensible article on eight hour system, which is now being dis eased by the press, from Harpern 11< hhj If there could be a law restricting manuel labor to six hours a day and securing i on stunt and ample employment upon those terms, with increased wages to the workman and higher proiits to the capitalist, who would not favor it with all his heart ? So if there could he a law bv which disease could be abolished and the heat of the dog davs and the cold of midwinter mollified, who would be so inhuman as to oppose it? Yet one of these laws is as practicable as the other. All the laws of society are effective only so far as they re-enact the higher law of nature. When they are opposed to them society pays the penalty in suffering. It is useless to legislate against the attraction of gravity or of cohesion, or to attempt to re distribute the oxygen and nitrogen of the atmosphere. The laws of'political economy are not less absolute thai: other laws. They are not de termined by our wishes and hopes, hut by the actual condition of society. The rate of wages will always depend upon the demand for labor. Capital will always invest itself where it can count upon the highest return. Those are axioms or indisputable truths. That capitalists arc often unjust, and labor ers often oppressed, is true; hut that fact docs not effect the great law of the relatiou of wages to the supply of labor and of capi tal to profits. Therefore, in the legal regulation of the lapor question, we mast always bear in mind the inflexible laws which we do not make and which control those that we do. But fortunately Political Economy like all other sciences is capable of development. There are troths already discovered, but there are others which may yet be ascertained. For instance, the exact amount of manual labor measured by time, which may he most ef fectively performed bv the average laborer under certain conditions of climate and oth er ealculabcr circumstances, iE a fair subject of investigation and experiment. But when determined, the result can not he disturbed. It must he accepted and treated as a truth. Now labor is a commodity like cotton or corn. Its price must depend upon its sup ply. Where the supply i.s greatly in excess of the demand the price will inevitably he low—where it is inadequate the price will be high. Every man can understand that proposition. Its truth is not disturbed by the natural desire of every man not to be overworked, and to have time for education and recreation. Suppose that the city of •New York should make a law restricting the working-day to four hours, upon the principal that, if every man in the world did Ins fair share of the work of the world, four hours would be enough, what would be the consequence? The demand for labor in the city would cease, and, with its ceasing, wages would decline. And how could this result be avoided ? Would you pass a law com pelling employers to pay the same wages for four hours'work that" is elsewhere paid for ten? That, you might do, hut the re sult then would simply be that capital would emigrate. Would you undertake to prevent its removal by penalties? Certainly you would not; and even if you did, and enforc ed your laws, the inevitable consequence would be the destruction of capital. \ou may forcibly compel a mail to remain in one spot, but no law can force him to use his sa gacity to his own disadvantage. M ust the laborer then be forever a mere drudge, and shall the great mass of mankind who must always live bv the work ol their hands be hopelessly debarred from intellect ual l xpansion, the delights of art, and of intelligent leisure, which we call mental cul ture? Surely not, unless the world is a to tal failure and the deepest human faith a lie. But there are no short cuts to happi ness. The British laborer is to-day a man who is, in a certain sense, and without any individual responsibility, defrauded of many of his birth-rights as a man. But can- Par liament legislate him cut of poverty and ig norance into comfort and intelligence? The British laborer drudges fourteen hours a day for a pittance. Why? Simply because the supply of labor is in that excess of the demand. Let the laborer see that in this conutry or elsewhere lie can get higher wa ges for a shorter day, and he will coiue here. The result would be that wages would ulti mately rise in England and fall in the Uni ted States. Where, then, is tht daybreak ? In what direction lies hope? It lies, first, in the groaing intelligence of mankind; and, sec ond, in invention and science. As we come to see that the comfort and security of every member of society depends upon the gener al welfare selfishness will be checked, or, if you choose, refined, while invention will at once multiply and raciliate labor. The cure for all social evils lies in the moral elevation of society in the increasing spirit of fraterni ty and co-operation. And that is as sure as it is slew. FROM MEXICO The French Evacuating Sinaloa.—The Juarists training (•round at Matamoras General Espinosa not Killed.—News from Juares' Head-Quarters. WASHINGTON, NOV. 30. —Additional offi cial news has been received by the Mexican Minister, to the effect that not only the State of Chihuahua, but also that of Sinaloa, was being evacuated by the French who could no longer oppose the Republican insurrection. Abandoning Moria, Concordia and Mesillas, they were compelled to embark at Mazatlan where only 000 were left. This retreat had encouraged the patriots, who under the com mand of General Rubi. were getting ready to attack the city, thus putting an end to the French invasion of Sinaloa. XKAV Yoßk, Nov. 30. —The Galveston Btillrfit) of November 15th says the news from Brownsville, brought by Captain Eaton F.Brown, is that the Juarists are gaining ground in the siege of Matamoros, General Espinosa was not killed, as reported. Lieutenant Colonel E. Meyer, late of the United States army, has been made a Gen eral in the Liberal army and Dr. 11. Elloreis, United States Army, has been made a Ma jor in the same army. The Periodica Officio ({ the organ of the i Juares Government), puolished at El Paso ; on November 2, contains several official publications concerning the reoccupation of Chihuahua by the Liberals. On the 30th of October I be military com mandant of the Eastern frontier, in a communication dated at Sauz, officially noti fied Scnor Lordo de Tejada Minister of Foreign and Internal Affairs, of the evacua tion of the town of Chihuahua by the Imper ialists on the day previous. The comman dant had appointed Scnor Luis Terrazas Provisional Civil and Military Governor of the city. This was ratified by President Juarez who had furthermore appointed this Senor Terrazas Govennor and Military Commander of the entire State of Chihua hua. The two officials above mentioned left Sauz on October 30t h in order to take for mal possession of the eitv and provide for the public safety and the re-establishment of order. The Commandant of the Eastern frontier writes to the Minister of Foreign Affairs: — You may be assured by the record of the fidelity of all the inhabitants of Chi huahua while oppressed by the French yoke ; that no trouble will be met with in that loyal | city and its gates are already open and ready I to receive the legitimate authorities who may return to it whenever it may please the su preme head of the nation. "The tew unworthy sons of the State of Chihuahua in the imperial service haveleit, at least the principal ones, to follow the fiag. The people of Chihuahua will salute the national flag, which will be raised during the formal act of taking possession of the capital Although this event is not the result of a victory won by our arms, still it is a matter of rejoicing as the State is now freed from foreign invaders, which is due to vic tories gained in the interior over our cruel oppressors." The Minister of Foreign Affairs and Gov ernment had issued a circular dated October 28, and addressed to the Governors of the respective States of the Kepublic, setting forth in a lengthy preamble that a number of general and subordinate officers bad left the country and continued to remain abroad without permission from the Government during the time of national peril and that others had obtained permission to pass from one part of Mexico to another by the way of a foreign country, so as to avoid capture on the way but had taken advantage of the said permission to remain permanently abroad ''Both classes," says the preamble, "have abandoned the cause of the republic at a period of misfortune. They have likewise abandoned the national flag a', atime of peril. They have, in fact deserted from the army in tlie face of the enemy." The circular concludes with the following articles: — Article 1. Alt general and other officers arriving from abroad who may be unable to show a permit from the Government to leave the Hunts of the Republic and also such as may have been authorized to pass through a foreign country in order to reach some point of the national territory who have re mained abroad four months after leaving the Republic shall bo committed to prison by the civil or military authorities in any part of the republic where they may be found and a report made to the Government in order that a trial bo held. Article 2. The foregoing article shall in no manner apply to such worthy generals or other officers as may be transported beyond the limits of the republic by the enemy, and who having always remained loyal may re turn to offer their services again. On the contrary these officers shall be treated with all respect and consideration. A communication, dated October 10, is also published in the Period ico, over the sig nature of Senor Mariano Diaz Minister of the War and Navy Departments addressed to General Felipe B. Berriozobal at New York, through the Minister Plenipotentiary of the Republic at Washington calling upon the Citizen' General to return within two months from the date of receiving the noti fication and to report himsJf for active ser vice to the first Governor or general he may meet after touching the national territory. President Juarez has directed the name of the town of Presidio del Norte to be changed to that of "Ojinagft," in honor of the mem ory of General Manuel Ojinaga the late Gov ernor and military commandant of the State of Chihuahua recently killed in defense of the uatioua leause. It was expected that the Government of President Juarez would be reinstalled at Chihuahua early in November. The question of the seizure of French to bacco at Richmond, Va., during the Rebel lion. has been presented for the consideration of the U. S. Government by the French Min ister at Washington and is being investigated. Isaac A. Yan Ambtirgh,. the lion-famer. died in Philadelphia on the liOih ult. He wns a native of Fishkill, N. Y.

WASHINGTON, Dec. j. The Raleigh (N. C.) Standard, of Wed nesday contains the following: Gov. Hidden has received the following telegram from the President, which is laid before the public for information: WASHINGTON, NOV. 27. Hon. IF. W. Jloldcn, Pt ovisional Governor Accept my thanks for the noble and effec tive manner ir, which you have discharged your duty as Provisional Governor. Vou will be sustained by the Government. The results of the recent election iu North Caro lina have greatly damaged the prospects of the State, in the restoration of its govern mental relations. Should the action and the spirit of the Legislature be in the same direction, it will greatly increase the mis chief already done, and might be fatal. It is hoped the action and spirit manifested by the Legislature will be so directed as rather to repair thau increase the difficulties under which the State has already placed itself. (Signed) ANDREW JOHNSON, President FOREIGN NEWS. Some of the English journals denounce as barbarous the manner in which the authorities of Jamaica have dealt with the negro insur rection there.

The king of Italy, accompanied by his Min isters and the Mayor of Naples, recently visit ed the cholera hospitals in that city to inves tigate their sanitary condition. The tone of the English press indicates that the Alabama and other American claims of a similar nature will be amicably settled.

The Washington correspondent of the Lon don Times asserts, 4i on high authority,'' that Secretary Seward has officially taken a very strong position in support of the Monroe doe trine, as against the French in Mexico. Great dissatisfaction prevails in Cuba with the appointment of Gen. Lursundi, a notori ous pro-slavery man, as Captain-General of that Island. The State of Chihuahua has been evacuated by Maximilian's forces, and Juarez is pro ceeding thither from El Paso.
