When court was openod, Mr. Litnberton, for the defendant put iu legal objections to tho'Oraud Jury that loutid(tho Indictment, In support of which a.number of witnesses wcro sworn, and a long argument followed On Tuesday moralug Judge Pearson rend ered the decision of the court overruling. tho motion, to which the defense took an excep lion. Mr. Herr then moved to -quash tho Indictment .for the same reasons at. before, which was followed by a lengthy icombat of words. between opposing counsel, occupying tiicsvholo'day, and part of Wtdnesday. Judge Pfsreon said that the. judges' bad conferred. together aud bad made .up their miuds before tho concluding argument In the-case and would now deliver their opin loin In regard to tho reir that was d oiUrl before. Concerning the objection that leiiury did not bring the indictment Into court, the court did not consider that al t aether regular, but that fact had done the drUndnnt no Injury. On that account .the Indictment could not be set aside. The rec ord shows that twenty-three were sworn Buf evidence has been offered to show that twenty-four were sworn. In tbat case tbe action was wholly irregular. Suppose that but twenty-three were sworn and there was an Interloper took part In tbe action of th body. Then the case Is worse than before, On either supposition the indictments must be quashed. Tho judge said tbat he to gretted to decide the case on these technical points, because it was not a trial of the case on its merits, WASHINGTON LETTER. - Washliglsi, D. C. Mtr- 84th 1879 THXCOMINO SESSION AND AIAROS BTEET SCENERY SENATOR THUKM AN MAY NOT BETlRE. Although tbe congressional session and social season'will be upon us in a week there Is very little a? this time to indicate their aprlroacb. The city Is not as'fnll of visitors as it'was' list week, when "the Unveiling of tbe'Tbomas Statue attracted' thousands of strangers to Ihe Capital. All "prophesies' are to the' pftjrct (bat we will have an unusually; interestingsesslon, and that vanity fair will glitter with' unwonted splendor. There is little to suggest the approach of the'session except the, scrubbing, cleansing, carpet tacking, going ou in every boarding house, from tbe plain, cheap house, In an unfashionable quarter usually occupied by Southern Congressmen, to the more preten tious pemiont affected by lobbyists and gov ernment clerks. Here and there about the departments, looking after the interests of their fair gov ernment pensioned proteges.or trying to find or make vacancies for more proteges, may be seen a senator or member of tbe lower house, but it takes more than one swallow to make a summer. Tho Washington elite belles, bexx,duen new, and pater familial are re-established In their hospitable homes, and Pennsylvania Avenue is every day, between the hours of three' and five p. m., gay, with a driving, promenading throng of'jaunty gov ernment clerks of both sexes who receive, I do not say earn, $75 to $150 per month ; un uniformed military and naval officer wlio have served their country' on this field for years ; ministers and attaches of foreign lega tions, distinguished for' tbe freshness and perfection of their gloves, (they get them through duty free) their whiskers, high heeled shoes, and tbe ill fitting clothes. The belles from large cities and frontier villages have not arrived. They will not come until after the holidays, when the sea son" with Its vortex of receptions presiden tial cabinet, judicial, official, and non-official will begin to whirl with its sappy or superannuated dandies in black swallow tails and white neck ties with ladlss in trains and demitrains. Correspondents of the different journals have all arrlved.msle and female, young and old, eaeh prepared to describe, as he sees it the social and political panorama tbat pivots in Washington. There is gossip to the effect that Senator Thurman will not be retired to private life as promptly as vas expected, where it was known that bis state had pronounced for a Republican Senator. It is said tbat there Is a movement on foot to return him to the House of Representatives from the Colum bus dltrict,Senator Thnrman was a member of the House just- thirty-four years ago. While it may be considered a descent on the political ladder to step from the Senate to tbe'House there are not wanting Illustrious precedents. President Adams was elected to represent his district In the lower house af ter be had held tbe highest office In the gift of the people. Andrew Johnson was sena tor after he bad been president and Presi dent Tyler.sfter bis executive term.wis hon ored by his Immediate neighbors with the delicate office of overseer of a country road. Senator Thurman Is still in full vigor of physical and intellectual faculties. Should his party in tbe House retain tbe majority be could be elected speaker almost by acclama tion be might lead tho minority with nolens ability and distinction than has characterized bis strongest and most brilliant Democratic leadership in tbe history of the Senate.

Humors are afloat that General Grant shows signs of a malady that is hereditary In his family. It is said that his father, Jesse Grant, was a filleted with softening of the brain before he was fifty years of age, and that during the last yeart.of his life he was little more than an imbecile. Orvil Grant, whose eccentric conduct In California only last year will be remcmbcred,has since been an inmate In the New Jersey insane asylum. It is also said that one of the general's sisters has been af flicted in the same wav. Manv neonle who have met General Grant since his arrival In San Francisco have noticed an occasional strange look in his eye. Often when convers ing with gentlemen, aud oven with old friends, he had stopped short In the mlddlo of a sentence and hesitated, sometimes for a full moment, before completing It. At San Jose he was introduced to a number of sold iers who fought with him at Fort Douelson. Instead of greeting them cordially he turned half round and simply stared at them over bis shotllder. and never said A word. Aeain at Stockton And at Madeira he was present ed to a number of his old' comrades In the Mexican war, but. the general treated them In the coldest manner, and id a way that left the impression on every one present that he was displeased at meeting them. These, and many other instances of his peculiar conduct go to show that it Is a tad probabllt ty that his mind Is' commencing to weaken. While In the Presidential chair, General Grant was noted for his affable greetings to al his visitors, arid' on no other hypothesis call the great change in his manners bo pliced than that there Is something wrong In his mental'facultie's. Perhaps the great strain on him for the fifteen years of his eminent public career has had something to do with7 the change In him that is now so painfully observable. Another evidence of his approaching aflUctlon'ls trie nnevenncss of his conversation. At times he will talk with fluency and ease, and (hen In a few minutes relapse Into an attitude of 'perfect silence, and only answer questions by a "Yes" or a "No." We most sincerely hope' tbat the great calamity of "a mind o'erthrown" may never be visited upon tbe illustrious general and statesman whom SarT'Frincisco and all tbe world has delighted to honor. It would be a national affliction were he to become in capacitated for future usefulness. A flushing Governor. ' Gov. Hoyt has discredited the reputation for pretty good common sense which the public was disposed to concede to him for some of his official acts, 'by tbe telegram seat to a Chicago paper which asked for tributes from 'public -men to the ex-president now swinging round tbe circle. At best such manufactured compliment, furnished to or der and lacking all spontaneity, were of not much .account and we incline to applaud the Southern governors who declined to respond tn;the irresponsible demands of Bohemian enterprise. But Hoyt bit' at tbe bait thrown out He bit hard. This Is tbe dispatch he Bent to the Chicago editor : ' IlABmauuna. Pa., Nov. 1 1. "The people of: Pennsylvania note with pleasure the com pletlon of the circuit around tbe globe by General Grant On his second round, by their acclam, they will arrest blm here on a 'lap'-nntil In 1881 he shall Inaugurate as the chief magistrate of anation, the full pur poses of a free people; and in 1885, 60,000,- 000 of us will bid him "God speed" to the fulfillment of a perfect career. Henry M. Hoyt, Governor of Pennsylvania." Its rather "horsey" tone was, no doubt, intended as a compliment' to Grant. It was enough for Hoyt to join in the clamor of bis party for a third term ; starts the boom of a life tenure for Grant, and anticipates what bas been declared by people pronounced un duly apprehensive to be tbe logical sequence of Grant's election to a third term, viz : that he wilt never leave tbe White House alive. Hoyt does not foreshadow a "good-bye" to Grant in 1885, but a "God speed" on bis "fourth1 round" probably. But if a fourth, why not a fifth I If In 1885, why not in 1889 ? .It is in order for somebody to see Hoyt and go him one term better. tan catter Intelligencer, UO.N. UEORfJK U. JACKSON. Senator Jackson died at his home in Du shore, Sullivan county, on Sunday morning, the cause of his death being dropsy of tbe bea.t. He was burn in Berwick April Kith 1828, and received a good English educa tion. While quite young he settled at Da shore and engaged in the mercantile busi uess which he continued up to tbe time of his last illness. Senator Jackson, was a staunch Democrat, and held t several offices by tbe choice of his party. In 1859 he was elected member of the legislature, and again it 1863. He was elected state sena tor in 1867-8-9 and again In 1878. He was a careful and active business man of a genial and jovial disposition, loyal to his friends and -generous to bis enemies if he bad any. Ills acquaintance was extensive throughout the state and he enjoyed the re epect of all who knew him. As a represen tative he was always active, and worked faithfully and effectively for the interest of bis constituents., Tbe funeral took place ou Wednesday afternoon. It was only the rough roads and long drive that prevented a large delegation from this county from being in attendance, to pay the least homage to the memory of their respected senator.

The rith Law. i AN IMPORTANT DECISION CF RECORDER DtErERIOK OF WILUiMtrORT. Bolow will be found In full' a decision rendered a few weeks ago by Recorder Die- trick upon the fish question, The recorder joes Into the i subject very minutely, and the decision will be read with great Inter-Mown est. THE DECISION. The Commonwealth vs. Thomas Watson. In the recorder's court, October 10th, 1879. This la a prosecution commenced at the Instance of "Tbe Lycoming Sportmen's Club,' an association formed for tho protec tion of game and fish and tho more rigid enforcement of the game laws of the stale of Pennsylvania, under the act entitled "an act to amend and consolidate tho several acts relating to game and game fish,' ap proved tbe 3rd day of June, 1878, p, 1. pp. 160; which act of assembly provldes.amon t other things, that no person shall kill, or expose to sale, or have In his possession after the same has been killed, any speckled trout, save only during the months of April, May, June and Jnly; and imposes a penalty of ten dollars for every trout caught and killed out of season ; and in case of non payment, imprisonment of not less than one day for each dollar of the penalty Imposed, and Is, therefore, highly penal in Its na ture. The question of protecting game and fish occupied the attention of the inhabitants ol Kurope at an early period of their .history, as well as that or tbe Inhabitants of Ameri ca. Much has been written by the common la writers of both countries and many de cisions, lisvn been rendered by eminent jur ists on the subject, both In the old and -new countries It is an Important question in the Inhabitants' of any country or State. Untlf a recent period little attention has been patd to the protection of game and game fiih In this ftatr, but as population increa-en, and namo diminishes the people befcnmn impressed with the necessity of laws fur their protection. Special 'aws nave from time to timej been pussetl protecting fiiti aud game in certain localities, until the legislature has been Impressed with the netesitj''if u grueral law on th subject. and finally the law nmv under considers' lt'u whs enacted. We believe ft to be the .duty nfcouits to construe this law so as to give the public the benefit Intended, Hut, being a penal statute, It uiuU be strictly construed nod cannot be extended beyond 'tis. iitKin prtiviions i-r llii- loticv f the la.v. It i nti interesting subject to exam ine Ihe mw in re'uttwn to wild game or of animals fent nalune, m tho la-v terms them, hiuI the rights of fisheries; to exhaust tne ulject, whilst it might be ir.teresilnp, can only li- pursued in the case before us so fur m leading principles are' concerned. B!ackstono says, in vol. 2, 411, by the -law of naturj every niau, from the iirinei to tbe peasant, bus an equal right of pursuing and taking to his own use all such creatures a: areerce natural, and, therefore, the proper ty of nobody, but liable to be Beized by the first' occupant. But tbat this natural right may be restrained by positive laws for rea sons of state, or for tbe supposed benefit of tbe community, and that in consequence' of this authority, municipal laws of many na tious have exerted such powers of restraint; have forbidden the entering on another man's grouud for any cause without tie owner's cJnieiit ; have extended their pre tection to such particular animals as ara usi -ally the object of pursuit r aud many rea sons may be given fir this. It is for the encouragement of agriculture' aud improve ment of land, by giving every uiru an ex clusive dominion over bis own soil, and for tbe preservation of the several species of the animals, which would soon be extirpated by geueral liberty; The Roman or civil law, WMlst it Knew no restriction as to. persons or animals, so far regardedthe nrticle tbat it allowed uo man to hunt or sport on anotb er man's ground but b consent of the own er of the soil. Chancellor Kent, In bis com mentaries, which are anmetimes denominat ed "The American Blackstone," treats fully on the rights of fisheries, both as to Kogland and the United States. He maintains tha' it was the Bettled principle of the common law, that tbe owner of lauds on tbe bankBof fresh water rivers, above tbe ebbing and flowing of the tide, had the exclusive righ of fishing, as well as the right of property opposite to their respective lands ad filum medium aqua ; and where tbe lauds on each site of tbe river belonged to the same per son, he had the same exclusive right of fish ing In tbe whole river so far as his lands extended along the same. The common right in fishing in navigable waters is found ed, says Kent, cm such plait) principles natural law, tnal It is considered oy many jurists as a part of the .aw ofnatious. The Eogllsb doctrine as t u i vigable rivers, aud the commou right of fishing, as well as the right of the soil iu rivers not navigable, in the common U sense of the term, have been decUrsJ to be the law iu several of the United States. In 1787 all the British sta tutes deemed applicable to the situation on the subject of fisheries were re-enacted in the state of New York, and In the caso ot the People vs. Piatt, et al., 17th Johnston page 195, It was held by Spencer, O. J. tbat an indictment would not lie against tbe defendant for erecting a dam across the rtv er not navigable, because be owned the ex elusive proierty in the land on both sides o tbe river; there being no reservation of the river, nor any restriction in tbe use of it expressed in the pateut, and tbat therefore the public had no right of fishing in it with in. the bouuds of the patent. That, there fore, the erection of a dam near the mouth of the river, by which Balmon were prevent ed from passing up the river, was not an indictable offense as a nuisance, either at common law nor under a statute of that state for the preservation of fish. The courts in the different states have not entire ly agreed In their views on the Bubject of fisheries. Iu this state we have three decis ions which treat fully on the subject. Tbe first Is that of Carson vs. Blazer, elal , 2ad Blnncy, 476 ; In which it w w determined that the commou law doctriue, that fresh water rivers in which the tide does not ebb and flow, belong to the owners oftho banks, has never been applied to the Susquehanna and other large rivers In Pennsylvania. Such rivers are navigable, although there is no flow or rettow of the, tide ; and that they belong to the commonwealth. No one, therefore, has a right to an exclusive fishery therein on tbe principles of tbe commou law, nor has such a right been granted to any one by tbe proprietaries or by tbe com monwealth. This case was followed by the case of Shrunk vs. Schuylkill Navigation Company, 14th S. & It., 71 ; Tinlcum Fish ing Company vs. Carter, 11th P. F. S., 21. These cases discuss fully the doctrine of fish, eries in -this and other states; and whilst they do not specially touch th case in hand they give ideas from which proper conclu sions may be derived, We come now to the case in hand, tbe facts of which are jhese : the father of the defendant some five or six years or more since, purchased about five thousand acres ot unseated lands on a branch of Bear creek, in this county, as he states, for the purpose of making a private fishery, on which stream he maintains a dam ; and that he Is the owner of the land extending about three hundred Icet below said dam, and owns the land ou both sides ot the stream and Its branches to their sources; that he has placed a screen In the dam, which Is about fourteen feet high, sj as to prevent the fish from either passing up or said stream ; that sumo trout had been put In the dam'; tbat ho had not used tho premises and does not now use the trine for any other purpmo excepting to culti vate fish ; that he bus given notice as re quired by law to prevent otucrs from fish- lug or trespassing upon tbeso premises, and has a family residing there for tbe purpose of watchlug the same. The defendant Is a minor son resldlug with tbe father and had tho permission from tbe father to fish in this dam and stream, the father claiming that the statute under which, this prosecu tion Is commenced did not apply to blm bo far as these premises are concerned. There Is no conflict in tho testimony so far as the facts are concerned ; and, tho law must be applied in accordance with the evidenco lu the case, and in doing so, it becomes neces sary to consider tho object the legislature bad lu vlew.wheu passing the act under which tho prosecution has been instituted. Blackstone informs us tbat tho most unlver sal and effectual way of discovering the true meaning of a law, when the words are du bious, is by considering tho reason aud spirit or the cause which moved the legisla turo to enact it. i'or when tills reason ceases, the law Itself, ought, likewise, to ceasu with It; 1st II., 61. Penal statutes re ccive a strict interpretation. Tho general words of a penal statute atiall be retrained for the benefit of him against whom n pen atty is inflicted, Dnarris on Statutes, p 245 ; and another rule is, than an offender who is protected by tho benelit of a statute, cannot be deprived of lis benefit ou the ground that bis case is not within its spirit. Where there Is such an ambiguity as to leave rea onable doubt of its meaning, courts will not inflict the penalty. Again, the purviev or body of an act may be qualified ur re strained by a siving clause in Ibe statute. A proviso in an act is something engrafted upon a preceding enactment; mid whero the proviso is clearly repugnant to the pur view of it, the proviso shall ntaiid and be helda repeal of the purview, because it speaks the last intention of tbe legislature Applying tbese principles to tbe act in ques tion, we snouid be able in iMveita proper construction. The reamn ot tbe enactment was, unquestionably to prevent catching aud killing trout, other Usli and game out of season, as tbe habit has been, and to en courage culture and propagation of tbe same. The reaicJ intended was lo punish persons trespassing on lands fur the purpose ol taking fish from auy private pond, stream o.' spring, afr public notice on tbe part o f the owner or occupant thereof, where the same ire used by the. owners or ' lessees for the culture or propagating of fish or game fish, and for catchiog (hem iu watt is not private, out of season, Tbe provisions in tbe act, relating to speckled trout are .'ound in tho 18th, 19 and 28th sections. Tbe 18th section provides that no persou shall, at auy time, catch or kill any speckled trout with any device, save only with rod, book and line, except for tho purpose of propa gation, under n penalty o I $25 fur each of fence.' Tbe 19th section provides tbat "no person shall kill Or exposo to .sale, or have in his or her possession, alter the same bus beeu killed, any sea salmon or speckled trout, save only during the months of April, May, June aud July, uuder a penalty uf $10 for eaob salmon or trout so killed or had in possession ; but this section shall not prevent any persou irom caicbiug trout with nets in waters owned by b imeelf, to ttoct other walert." Tbe 28th section pro vides that "nothing in this act shall be bo constructed as to prevent any persou in auy part of this state from catching sptckled trout or black bass, with nets in waters own ed by himself, for the purpose of ttocking oth er walttt; provided, tbat nothiug in this act snail be construed to ire vent any pel sou from takiug fish from private ponds or streams, owned by him or them and used for cultivating fish.' We buve then, first, the provision that uo persou shall, at any time, catch or kill any specklc-i trout, with any device, save rod, book and line, except only for tbe purpose of propagation; 2nd, That no person shall kill or expose to sale, or have in his or her .possession, ul'ter the same lm beuu killed, any speckled trout save only during tbe mouths of April, May, June and July ; but no prohibitions is placed upon catching trout with nets iu waters owned by himself, to stock other waters. 31. Tbe act shall be so construed as not to prevent auy person, in any part of this state, from catching speckled trout with nets In waters owned by biuselffor the pur' pose of stocklog other waters, with tbe pro viso, tbat nothing in the act shall be con strued to prevent any person, from taking fish from private ponds or streams owned by bim or them and used for cultivating fish It will be seen tbe privileges of taking trout, "with nets for the purpose of ttocking otl er waters,' in tbe 19th and 28th sections, are alike ; and a plain repetition of words without any apparent necessity, iben fol lows the proviso, which gives permiwiou to auy person for taking fish from "private ponds or streams owned by bim or them, and used for cultivating fish.' The defendant claims tbat this provho protects him against tbe penalty sought to be imposed upon bim. It is evident tbat this proviso was engrafted for a purpose, and that purpose seems clearly to be to protect tbe owners who cultivate fish in private ponds and streams owned by tbem. Did the father of the defendant, Oliver Watson, use this stream lor cultivating speckled trout? If so, we think he could not be re strained from taking fish out of the same, for his use at any time. The word "culti vate'1 is a comprehensive word. Webster informs us tbat it signifies "to bestow at tention, care and labor with a view to valu able returns ; to direct special attention ; to devote time aud thought to." We think this definition covers the case in question, for tbe testimony discloses tbe fact that Mr. Wutsou, the father of the defend ant, purchased this land with a view of making it a, private fishery; tbat bebestow ed labor, thought, money aud attention to the same ; that he put some.fish in It ; tbat he placed a screen In tbe dam to keep the fish from escaping, and has a man residing on tho premises to watch tbe same. It is true be does not pay special attention to feeding the fish, but claims tbat the insects on the trees surrounding tbe pond and along the stream, dropping into the water, are tbe natural food upon which trout feed, and that the place was selected and prepared with this view, Tbe case has peculiar fea tures. It is not putting an obstruction in the streitn to prevent full going from tbe confluence up the stream over the land own ed by others. Nor Is It tho case of occupy ing the middle of tbe stream where other persons onu lands above and below, over which the stream passes. But owns be all tbe land over which the waters pass la which tbe taut are, from tbo plsce of the obslruc- tton (the dam) to the source of the stream and Its branches. All the stream below Is left free and unobstructed! It would scarco ly be doubled that a person could tnako private ponds on his land and cultivate fish in them, and take them out at his pleasure for use. If this be true, may he not do tho same In a private stream owned by blm and used for the same purpose. Tho legislature, In the proviso referred to, certainly places ponds and streams on tho same basis. Wo Bee no reason why a person may not with tho same right cultivate fish on his own lauds appropriated and prepared for the purpose as In this Instance, and take them at his pleasure, with tho same right that he may cultivate chickens or other creatures on bis premises aud take thorn for bis use at any time. Who is Injured by what has been done in maintaining this private fishery, or what policy of law has been contravened? We confess we aro unable to sco. Whilst wo feel Inclined to aid the Lycoming porte meti's Club to a more rigid enforcement of the game laws, and theroby benefit and pro tect the rights of the people, we must, bow- evor, oe careful that wo do not encroach upon private rights. The question is not of much Importance so far ns tho amount is concerned, as it has been conceded on tbe part of the prosecution, that Inasmuch as thero was a falluro to prove how many trout the clefoudant caught, that therefore thy, penally cannot exceed lliat ot catching one. But while the penalty is small the question Is of Interest to the community. For tea sons given, we are of the opinion that this prosecution cannot be sustained, and tbe defendant is therefore discharged. Tbe widow of Charles Dickens died re cently in England.

THE SUN FOR 1880. The Sun will deal with the events ot the year lsso In Its own fashion, now pretty well understood by even body. From January 1 until December silt will be conducted as a newspaper, written In the -English ldnguage, and printed fur tbe people. ah a newspaper, tha Hun believes lu getting all the 'new not the world promptly, and predeotltig it in the most Intelligible shapethe shape that will enable Its readers to keep well abreast of the ago with the least unproductive expenditure of time. Tho great est interest to the greatest number tbat Is, tho law controlling Its dally make-up. It now has a clrcul i tlon verr much larger thau that of any other Ameri can newspaper, and enjoys an Income which It H at all times prepared to spend liberally for thebenetlt of its readers. 1'eople of all conditions of tire and all ways ot thinking buy and read the Hun; and they all derive satisfaction of some sort from Its columns, for ihey keep on tmj lng and reading It, In its comments on men and affairs.

It hates Injustice and rascality even more than It hates un necessary words. It abhors Irauds pities tools, and deplores nincompoops ot every species. It will con tinue throughout the year lwi to chastise thellrst da?, Instruct the second, and discountenance the third. All bonest men, with honest comlctlons, v, nether sound or mistaken, are In Us friends. And The Sim makes no bones ot telling the truth to Its rrtend whene'er uccuslou arises tor plain speak ing.
