EE _ ER The case of George Hoover, the lad of thirteen. who shot and killed bis sister, Lottie, in May last was tried at Sunbury last week, the trial only occupied a few hours, as the most important witnesses, the boy's mother and sister, refused to testify and left the city. The common wealth did not push the case and the ju- ry acquitted the boy of murder but con- victed him of manslaughter. The sen- tence was deferred. The counsel for the defense gave notice to the court tha they had some evidence which they wish to present to him to mitigate the boy's sentence. le sie wi Those fellows who can not get at Guitean because he is safe behind the bars, are bombarding him at a distance with pos- tal cards. We see his mail the other day consisted mostly of postal cards. One dated Boston, Mass, said: “Will give | vou $800 per night to lecture after you have served eight years in Dry Tortugas, Will advertise you as the Great Unhung, but will not be responsible for the cap- vices of Judge Lynch. A.E” A man of Cleveland, Ohio, writes: “You are wanted in Ohio, dear sir; the Buckeye boys want a shooting match with you, yon unhung wretch.” H, O.D, of St Louis, sends his compliments in this fashion: Charles Guitean, I hope you will be eaten up by rats alive ; the devil is waiting for you." A piece of hemp came tied to one of the cards from Cin- cinnati. On the card wasa picture of the gallows, and the following: “I would like to put this kind of a twice around vour neck and pall it a little four times per day, so that you would die by degrees like a dog: you coward! you vil lian! yon assassin!” in Sr Is the ball about to open?

Judge Hoar very truly says: “The Warden is undoubtedly respon. sible for the safe custody of the prisoner, and should use all proper precautions against escape, but he has not yet been tried or found guilty of any crime, and is, in view of the law, only held for trial Nou man has a legal right to punish him until he has been tried and convicted, and then only by the puaoishment te which he is sentenced. To subject hin to any privation or indignity not requir- ed for his safe-keeping is illegal, and should not escape the condemnation be canse this poor wretch is the object of universal odiom. If he has a friend or relative or wishes to see a legal adviser, why shonld he not be allowed to set them? The District Attorney is the of fier who is to present pablie justice in the prosecution of alleged criminals ‘What authority of law has he to ‘direct 8 jailer upon the subject of indulgence: to be permitted to unconvinced prison- ers?” Tue Delaware County Democrat says, ‘what a lucky thing it is for Judge Hoa that he is a Republica!

The republicans now have two candi dates for the choice of the Cameron and Wolfe of the independent republican state treasurer—Baily, machine, Wiig. A great deal depends upon the life of Garfield. If the President lives nat election, Wolfe will have a larger vote than the nominee of the bosses, because he will have the sympathy of Blaine, M'Veagh as well as of Garfield and his Pennsylvania office holders. If Garfield should die, Arthar's mwigistrati m will throw its influence in favor of Baily and the stalwarts, and Wolfe will uot have a heavy following in consequence. This is a war between the republican ad- factions, and whichever has the adminis tration on its aide will be uppermost Just now it is with the independents, and the bosses wili fiad no sympathy ‘rom that quarter, and their only salva- tion is in the death of Garfield. .

For this fortunate condition of affairs the Re- publican pariy claimed all the credit. In vain was it said that a gracious Provi- dence had so ordered it that the crop was large. The statement was repelled as rank blasphemy against the omnipo- tence of the Republican party. Joho Sherman was quite shure it was all his doings. In Ohio especially was the claim put forth that all the fortunate conditions were due to the reign of the Ohio men, and every stump in Buckeye- dom sounded the praises of the gracious gods of prosperity. This year the ecene changes, Tuere is still a campaiga in Ohio, for, no matter what betide, they will ballot-box in Ohio. A widespread, longeontinued, field destroying drouth has spread over the land, and the har- vester is in despair. So is Mr. Charles Foster, candidate for Governor. He had taught the simple Buckeye that, so long as he pinned his fuith on the Republi- can party, prosperity would be his pro- portion ; for the crops were controlled by the administration, which was Re. publican, aud would see that the faith suffered no detriment in their fortunes, He hastens now to throw the blame of the exceptionably dry season upon Prov idence, but the discontented farmer bids him go to the devil with his blowings hot and his blowings cold, and threateas to demand a change.
