Whatever may be thought of the Crawford County System, on one side and on the other, of this'fact there can bo no doubt-bunder it every voter has. the privilege of expressing.hia:.prefer ence for every office on the ticket, which he.undoubtedly never did have under the delegate system. In this re spect the ticket at the headdf-our col umns is peculiarly a ticket formed by the people themselves, and will bo elected by the, people, by a triumphant majority; on the second Tuesday of Oc tober. John B. Leidiq, of Silver Spring” our candidate for Assembly, has been largely engaged in business at the New Kingston station, for many years. His extensive business' relation's have brought him into contact with leading men from all parts of the county, all of whom endorse, his integrity, capaci ty and energy. He is an active mem ber .of the religious denomination known'as'the Church of God, and we believe will make a courteous, atten tive andthoroughly Democratic inem ber. William V. Cavanaugh, of Penn, our candidate for Prothonotary, has for many years been engaged in teaching, ig a gentleman of fine attainments, a thorough-going Democrat, and possess es eminent qualifications for the posi tion to which he aspires. He has been sorely afflicted from Ills youth, being so much of a cripple as to prevent his earning a livelihood by manual labor. That sympathy which conduced so largely to his nomination will insure him a handsome majority. The unanimous nomination of Geo. C. Sheafper, of Silver Spring, for Clerk of Courts, under a system which is claimed by some to bring out a multi tude of candidates, is a higher compli ment than words of ours could ' pay him. A young man who has so many elements of personal popularity in him self, that ho one will dare take up the cudgel against him for the second best ofllce on the ticket, needs no introduc tion from us. Somehow George has a way of walking over the track which throws everybody in the shade. Joseph Neely, bur candidate for "Register, is one, of our working Demo crats of Carlisle. Ho is poor in pocketi but sound in principle- Joe complain ed that he hadn’t money enough to can vass the county, and some of the other candidates good humorediy took him with them. Ho attends closely to busi ness, and will prove a careful, attentive mid industrious officer. • Uf.okgk Wetzel, “mine host” of the" Franklin House is our candidate for County Treasurer. “Bossy” has been giving the Democracy of Cumber ‘land excellent feed, and witlial puts himself to such pains to make everybody happy and comforta ble, that they had to go for him neck amt heels. It would have been the basest ingratitude to have done other wise. In t)i/;language of the poet “ho knows how to Joeep a hotel,” and In , the October races will run like—Dox£ ter or Flora Temple. In the nomination of Jacob Rhoads, of West Pennsborough, for Commis sioner, wo have secured a gentleman peculiarly fitted for the position. Ho has had an extensive business experi ence, is liberal and progressive in his views, has a mind of his own which he has a habit of using when occasion, re quires, and is strictly conscientious in the discharge of public and private duties. Jacob.Bhoads is just the kind of a man wo want in (lib Commission ers office. John Umbekoer, our condldatb. for Director of the Poor, is an honest, in telligent farmer of Lower Allen town ship. He comes highly recommended by his immediate neighbors as a gentle man of varied information, sound judg ment and considerable force of charac ter. Ho will make an excellent bfticer. The county will bo fortunate in secu ring the services of Mr. C. V. Kelly, of Newton, as Auditor; Mr. Kelly is one of those gentlemen whose accuracy, fidelity and promptness in business matters secure them plenty of business from their neighbors in the way of settling decedents’ estates and matters of that kind. No bettor man could bo found to superintend the financial af fairs of the county. Wendell Phillips is one of thepe culiarities of the “ Hub,” and one of the most radical of the many Radicals who shed their influence over Massa chusetts, and keep’it loyal to their cause. He is c political gladiator, and periodi cally enters the ring for a fight; and the ■ love to have him do battle for their cause, so boldly and valiantly he' talks; but it is questionable whether they will extract a great degree of pleas ure from the things said in the sitbjoined paragraph. But they cannot complain of the workmanship, so faithfully is it though th)»y may dislike to see ’the picture. As this is by a native ar tist, and true to nature, it will afford, an excellent opportunity of comparing our second Washington with the first Washington, after whom his friends de light to call him. ifhe following is the picture drawn bjvfhillips. Look upon this picture, and then upon that. He says Grant Is— 1869. “A Jockey and-seaside lounger; a restless boy, needing constantly to be amused, and so impatient of business that he cannot stay at. his post more than a week at a time. Five months in office, he.has not yet given us an Adminis tration. But, posting a copying clerk here and there, to keep the machine in motion, he hurries ; off to idle a week at a watering place, act Dummy at a monster sho.w, or Helpless at a steam boat excursion. The Presidency must indeed be a sinecure, if, in such an hour as this, a man bred in,a camp and lan yard can properly discharge its duties three hundred Miles from the capital in the intervals of the race-course and the half hours left' after' theatres and con certs.” Amen. When Mr. Buchanan was the last President of the United States, Hon'. Howell Cobb, his Secretary of the Trea sury, inviffed him to a trip on the noted revenue cutter, Harriet Lane. He went, but when he found that the expense of the voyage was to be charged to the government, gave orders to have the bills sent to him for settlement, which they would have boon' hnd nui. Mr. Cobb prevented it by paying them out of his own private purse. Now, the government is mulcted, however,-to the extent of thousands of dollars by, the excursions which, first, President Grant and Mr. Borie, and second, Ad miral Porter and Secretary Bobeson, make hither and thither. The expense Incurred by the Tallapoosa is not great enough to warrant the impeachment of those who junket round in her, but the incident related of Mr. Buchanan shows tho different instinct which a born gen tleman-entertains of his duties from .that held by his latest successor. Hon. George H. Pendleton has been selected by the Democrats of Ohio, as, their choice for Governor, in place of General Rosecrnns, who declined the nomination. Mr. Pendleton has ac cepted the position, and will go into . the canvass with zeal and energy. This Is a movement which will stir the peo ple of Ohio in all quarters. The lender of the Democratic forces is popular with all classes, and will poll thousands of Radical votes. Thoroughly identified with the best interests of Ohio, M*. Pendleton has won the esteem of the masses, as well by his upright devotion to principle as by his commanding elo quence and fearless advocacy of those measures, which, in his judgment, were best calculated to advance the interests of the country, without reference to sec-’ tional divisions. Led by such a chief, the Democrats of Ohio cannot fail to win in the coming State contest. If carpet-big evidence may be be lieved, the President of the United States is openly taking sides in a State election, and putting forth all the pow ers of his high office, to secure the suc cess of those partisans whoso cause he has espoused. Now, to mingle at any time, or’in any manner, in State elec tions 1s a shameful thing for the Presi dent of the United States. But what can bo thought of this deliberate and organized attempt of Mr. Grant to use all the powers of the Presidential office to the perpetuation of disfranchisement, vindictive legislation, and turmoil in the State of Mississippi ? To interfere at all is bad, but to interfere bn the ultra side is a sad commentary on “ Let us have peace-” How can they have pence, those people down there, so long as '‘the administration is in entire accord with the ultra-Radlcal party in the South.” Tiik Royal Visitoh.— Prince Au thor, the third son of Queen Victoria, sailed from Liverpool lijst week, for Halifax N. S. Ho will doubtless pay our plain Republican country a visit, while cn this side of the herring pond and give our nobility-hating popula tion a chance to look upon, and handle another genuine sprig of royalty. He is reported to bo a very worthy young Prince, and should bo worthily receiv ed,. But ho will have to undergo a series of rannworshlp, (like his elder brother the Prince of Wales, when here) which is most disgusting and re pulsive to a person of elevated inind and. accustomed to the usages of real and unaffected gentility. The sicken ing adulation and fawning sycophancy of otir bejeweled coddy and snobby to the titled aristocracy might do for ig norant Hottentot or Fee-Jce-Islander’s, but for American citizens, bah 1 we blush to own them; A RTAHTMNCJ FACT!I Upward* of fi*rcu millon* of Dollars Dl«* appear from m« State TTcaaory In two Year* I* I* Who are the Thiem? The Harrisburg Patriot makes the charge that during the fiscal years 1807 and 1808, upwards of Seven Millions of Dollars were squandered by the* State Government in appropriations outside of those made payriaents on the State Debt. T‘be reports of the Audi tor General for 1867 and 1808, taken in connection with the statements con tained in the Inst annual message of Governor Geary, developed the as tounding fact that during the last two years upwards of Eleven Millions of Dollars have been taken from the State Treasury, only Four Millions of which have been applied in payments on the State debt, leaving Seven Millions to be accounted for in appropriations for the current expenses of the Commonwealth, interest on the State Debt, and other expenditures. . At the end of the fiscal year of 1800, there re . maiued In the Treasury, $1,741,032,27 During the fiscal y ear of 1887; the receipts at the Treasury, exclu sive of the Slate loans, amounted to During the fiscal year of 1808, the receipts at the Treasury were Receipts in two years, Balance in the Trenail- . ry at the end of last fiscal year, Nov. 30., 1868, Taken out of Treasury - in two years, 11,307,487,52 These figures are taken from the re ports of the Auditor General for 1867 •and 1868, and the render is referred to these documents for verification of them. From these statements the fact appears that Eleven Millions, Three HUndred and Sixty Seven Thousand, Sour Hundred and Eighty-Seven Dol lars were taken from the treasury daring the fiscal years of 1807 and 1808. In Governor Geary’s last Annual Mcs sage, transmitted, to the legislature, January 0, 180!), is found the following: "By report of the I oinmissionuis of the Sinking Fund for the year ending September 3, 1807, the loans redeemed amounted to $1,794,509,50, and by their report from September 8, 1807,t0 Novem ber 30,1808, ‘the loans redeemed’ amount ed to $2,414,815,(M, making s total reduc tion of the State debt, in two years and three months, of $4,209,380,14.” By the Auditor Gene- ral’s reports, we have learned that the sum taken out of the- Treasury during the ’ two years of 1807 and 1868 was $11.307,'487,52 By Geary’s message we ascertain that the whole amount of the State debt paid oft during a period of two years and three. ■ months anterior to Nov. 30, 1808, was, 4,209,380,14 Leaving for current ex- penses, &0., $7,158 101,38 It now remains for the defenders of Governor Geary’s administration to show what became of the Seven Millions and.upwards remaining In the Treasu ry after the payments inade on the State Debt. How much of this sum Nvas wasted in extravagant appropria tions? How much of it was squander ed in increased rates of interest on the State Debt ? How much of it was giv en to Radical State officials and a Radi cal legislature; In the shape ofincreased salaries? How much ofit'was stolon by radical pasters and folders and other officials of the legislature who did not render a day’s service to the Common wealth ? , Arid lot it also be explained how it comes that upwards of One Mil lion Dollars are permitted to lie useless and dead in the Treasury, when that sum might be applied' to a further re duction of the State Debt and the sav ing of, a large amount of lirtferest to tho tax-payers of the State. What has become of the Seven Million> t Who gets, the interest on the One Million Where does the money go and who are ? Orniit’N Pasture Field.* The grounds back of the Wbite House have heretofore been kept open for the accommodatin'!! of the public, and many citizens and visitors might.bo seen enjoying the open air there, sitting In groups or singly upon theseats under the trees. Grant has converted tin's National Park into a horse pasture, and policemen are detailed by the Radical Mayor of Washington to keep from in truding upon what was a pleasant pub lic.resort for the people under all for mer Presidents. Grant is not only greedy but mean and parsimonious. The Washington correspondent # of the New York Citizen says: a biped, in the shape of a -workman, gardener, or ostler, can be seen, but always a lot of quadrupeds, with their progeny, grazing upon the very grounds which for so many years had been dedicated to the public use, for the comfort, pleasure and health of our citizens and the numerous visitors which throhg the National Capitol. Much in dignation has been expressed throughout the city by people of all classes and posi tions in society at this unaccountable act of the President's. The newspaper press have scarcely mentioned the fact, for to have done so they must have- in justice condemned the act. Several hun dreds of our families who used every af ternoon or evening to promenade the grounds are bitter in their disappoint ment, and the President and family have rendered themselves, socially very unpopular by the act. QovEßKoirPalmerrofTllinois.Tladi cal, made a State rights speech at Springfield, on Tuesday last. He op posed the surrender of suffrage to the general government, and thus endorsed the Democratic views on this important question. The opposition to the doc trine of State "rights has no line of ar gument which will not lead the nation into anarchy or a military despotism. The latter is the pet scheme of Bout well and Butler, but the people are not prepared to surrender their liberties, and hence in all sections, the more clear-headed Radicals are loaning to wards a platform which will strengthen the States, and check the encroachments of the national government. Governor Palmer is only a step in advance of many other men of his party in the past. What it Costs.— Tlio people of the United States are plundered of twenty millions of dollars a year by the tariff on coal, and of twenty three millions of dollars a year by tho tariff on iron. Forty-three millions of dollars a year thus goes straight from tho pockets of hard-working people into tho pockets of only these two classes of monopolists and the Congressmen who conspire to pass the laws which huthorizo the plun dering. - • Reconstruction in nontli Cnrollnn. Soutli Carolina is a .reconstructed State, and how reconstruction works there is shown by the following state of facts:— ■ 'At the present term of the Court of General Sessions, which commenced on Monday of Inst week, out of thirty-one petit jurrorssuinmoned 23 were negroes and only S white men. Of the Grand Jury twelve were negroes and 'seven white. ,As but eighteen of thu petit ju rors answoied to the summons, thirteen extra jurymen, all of them negroes, .ffero drawn from the bystanders. The'first jury was made up often negroes and two whites-, THE SECOND HAD NOT A WHITE HAN on it. Of tlio last mentioned Ju ry ONLY ONE NEGBO WAS FOUND WHf could white his name, and he, by order of the Judge, was appointed fore man. Williamsburg District is adjacent -to. Charleston. Tho war turned over the impoverished planters to the tender mercies of Ignorant negroes, and as, the negfo vote is as two to one, juries im partially drawn—leaving capacity and intelligence out of the question entirely —would oonsistof one third white men. Such, however,- is the Way justice Is manipulated In the Williamsburg Dis trict, that out of twenty-four jurors ul timately selected at the present term of court, only two white men were chosen. .Of course, then, with a .Radical judge on the bengh, and a negro jury before whom cases are to be white man will succeed in his suit, however just it may be. Again, a majority of the cases coming before this court—and indeed before all the courts of South Carolina—are negro cases. The Judge owes to negro votes his elevation to the bench, and with negro jurors, offences for trial become a mockery. Such is reconstruction before the courts in South' Carolina. Republicans of Pennsylva nia, what do you think of it? 5,423,330,57 5,216,049,55 12,380,412,89 1,012,925,37 In view of the fact that the Radi cals express great concern 4est a portion of Mr.. Packer's wealth should be used to carry the election for the Democracy, the question;arises 11 Who are to b e bought?” Democrats, certainly, have no need to bo purchased to support Mr. Packer, and, of course, if there is any buying to be done, it'must be Radical votes that are for sale. ,On this subject the following remarks from one of our exchanges are full of pith:, “ Who is . lo be bought with Packer’s money f— The Radicals, profess to believe that the coming gubernatorial election will be carried by money; that voters are to be bought up by Packer. Who are in the market? It certainly is not the Democrats, for they will all vote " the ticket, the whole ticket, and nothing but.the ticket;” and that without being bribed to do so. Are’ the Radical vo; ters up for sale ? We know that many of the leaders sell themselves as often as a purchaser can be found. Grant was bought up by Stewart, and Borio, and Hoar, and other rich men. Geary was purchased time and again by the lobby and the legislative ring. Thad. Stevens died with two hundred thous and dollars of Papific Railroad bonds in his possession; and to this day his Executors have declined to file and swear to an inventory of his property. The Radical Congress has been repeat edly bought up by whisky rings, rail road rings, Nevy England tariff rings, internal improvement rings, and mul titudinous other rings. Simon Cameron purchased a seat in.the United States Senate two years ago; and last year the Pennsylvania Railroad bought the place vacated by Buck alow for its pet solicitor John Scott. Radical members of our legislature could bo bought du ring the last, session as low as five dol-, lai-s a piece. Wo know the leaders of the Republican party sell themselves often, and that they sell themselves very cheap In Pennsylvania ; but ire the masses of the party in this state as venal and as low priced? The tone of the radical press would lead us to be lieve that they can be bought in droves for a trifling sum per head. Perhaps it would be well for the Chairman of the Democratic State Central Committee to examine ■ into this matter. A few thousand dollars might bring us many thousand votes, and that would simpli fy matters amazingly, and insure a majority for Packer and Pershing of just as many thousand as may b 8 deemed desirable. All this blow which Radical newspapers are making about Packer’s money either means that the masses of their party are as venal ms its leaders, or itimeans nothing.” Every Man Should Register;— The existence of the Registry law is an undeniable fact, and will confront you at every turn when the election comes off. However unwise, unjust, and un constitutional it may be considered, it should not deter any man from obeying Its requirements, or keep him from, reg istering. On the contrary, it should awaken to increased vigilance, and in duce every Democrat, native and for eign, to see that his caseis all right, and that the objects of the law, which were to cripple the Democratic vote and throw obstacles in the way of the for eign vote, are defeated in his own case. The law must be obeyed until it is law fully changed, and if every Democrat will do his duty it will be shortly wiped from the statute books, and not a letter be left of this record of partizan infamy. . It must be exceedingly gratifying to the toiling thousands in the State, that an opportunity will be offered this fail to honor with the governorship, one of their own number. Judge Packer is a Mechanic— having served a regular ap prenticeship and followed the profes sion of house carpenter for a number of years. Ho is emphatically a.working man, and the working man’s friend. “All' the Intelligence,” Ac.— The brilliant and intelligent' Chairman of Hie Eadical State Committee, 'Hqik (V) JohnCovode - , recently address ed a letter to one of hie “pals” in Pay ette county, whose surname is Aloxau* dor, the endorsement upon the envel ope bearing the euphonious titieoi “ J®> lick !” A Packer of experience will, salt' down the Eadical party in October The brine will bo procured at the head waters of Salt Eivor, to which place the Eadical herd will bo transported on election day- Wheneveu a public man shows a disposition to act honestly and for tl\o good of the whole country, the Eadical press denounce him as a Democrat.— Such is now ,the case with Chief Justice Chase.

The motion for a new trial in the cpse of Dr. Paul Schoeppe, charged with the’ murder of Maria M.Stinneoke, came ,up : In an adjourned court of Oyer and Ter miner, on Thursday last. The reasons for a new trial embraced the following points: The verdict of the jury was against-the evidence—death from other than natural cause was not proven—lt whs not proper for the jhry to Infer a cause of death, In the absence of positive proof—that one of the jury con versed with persons in the audience while a legal questiop was being argued—one of the jurors went to the post office, with the constable, got a letter and rend it, without exhibiting it to other jurors— that evidence had been discovered since the trial, showing the fallacies in the post mortem examination of X)r. Conrad —that some one said to a juror who was looking out of the window: “ why don’t you hang the damned dutohman, and get out of that.” A number of errors were also assigned to the rulings and charge of the Court, but bis honor sug gested, and. the suggestion was acqui esced in by the prisoner’s counsel, that these were more properly arguments for a ftrit of error than reasons fora new trial, and these latter points were not in sisted on. The case was argued at considerable length and with signal ability by Hon. Samuel Hepburn, Wm: H. Miller, Heu- Newahamand 8. Hepburn, Jr., Esqs. in behalf of the motion, and by District At torney Maglaughlin, and Wm. j. Shear er, Esqs., on the part of the Common wealth., The argument consumed all of Thursday, and Friday morning. At half past two, on Friday afternoon, when court was called, judge Giaham directed that the prisoner be brought in to court, and then proceeded to deliver the opinion of the court, overruling the motion for a new.trlal, as follows: • Opinion of the-Cqnrt_oii the aiotlon for. n Now Trial. We have listened attentively to the' able arguments of the counsel of the pri soner, on the motion for a new trial. The reasons filed, so far as they apply to the law as stated, by the court to the jury, in their charge, and answers to the points presented by the prisoner's counsel, hWe been stated, but not urgently Insisted upj. on, because; as properly remarked, any error in law canno't prejudice the prison oner ; it will be corrected by a superior tribunal, if any error exists. But it is urged with great earnestness that the jury erred, and that the verdict of. the jury is. not justified by the evi dence. We will not review the mass of evi- , denco In-this-pasof-but state the rules of law established by the Supreme Court in motions for new trials. In Common wealth vs. FlanaganX 7 W & 8., 421- Judge Rodgers quotes the language of the late Chief Justice QUbspn, as follows: “ Motions for a newtriafare to be receiv ed. with caution, because there are few cases tried in which something new may not be hunted out, and because it leads very much to perjury, to admit new evi dence, after the party who has lost the verdict has had an opportunity of dlsoov ering,his adversary’s strength and his own weakness.” To this Judge Rodgers adds: “ If this is to be feared in ordina ry cases, where the right of property on ly is concerned, how much more would it be dreaded in a case such os the pres ent, involving memo or a human being, and where such extraordinary means' have been resorted to to save him from • the perilous situation lu which hp is un fortunately placed.” * * “Cumula tive evidence, by which is meant addi tional evidence to support the sdme point, or where it is of the same character as ev idence already produced, is not sufficient to induce the court to.grant amew trial.” * “ But aalde from theae ob jectiops there are other reasons which in my mind, are decisive against the mo tion. Granting new trials does not de pondontho whim or caprice of tbejudge, tut upon well-established and funda mental principles of law. In the trial of, issues of fact, the . court- judges of. the . competency, the Jury of the effect of. the' testimony. But after verdict,’when the' motion for a new. trial is considered, the court must judge, notonlyidf.the compe tency, but of the effect of evidence. If with the newly discovered evidence be fore them, the jury-ought not to come to the same conclusion, then- a- new trial may be granted; otherwise . they, are bound to refuse the application. And it is ruled ih considering the motion, the .court will not inquire whether taking the newly-discovered testimony, in connec tion with that exhlbitedJom, the, trial, a jury might be induced to give a'different verdict, but whether the legitimate ef fect of such evidence would require a dif ferent verdict. The question is, supposing all the testimony, new and old, before another jury, not. whether they might, but whether they ought to' give a different verdict... It is manifest, therefore, iitbesemrinciples are correct granting a new trial would be almost if not-quite,.equivalent :to,a verdict of ac quittal.” . - Applying these legal principles to the present case, the new.ovidence ia entire ly cumulative, and it is not after-discov ered evidence, for it was as accessible to the prisoner before as after the trial; and we, may further add, that a careful review of tbeevidence, and the argument of tho prisoner’s counsel on the motion for a new trial, have failed to satisfy us that the verdict of the jury is not sus tained by the evidence. We therefore over-rule the motion for a new trial. District Attorney Maglaughlin then court for Judgment in favor of the Commonwealth, and that the sen tence of the law be pronounced upon the prisoner, , The court asked the prisoner if he had anything to say why the court ought hot to proceed to judgment and execution against him. ~ , Dr. Paul Schoeppe then arose, and "amidst breathless'silence, made the fol lowing remarks, in a clear and distinct voice: “ The jury can take my life, but the jury cannot make me a criminal and a murderer. I have, been convicted of a' crime which never has been' committed. This is not only my opinion, which by itself would be worth nothing before this tribunal, but this is the opinion of all the eminent and experienced physicians of this country, who, free of prejudices, carefully and attentively, examined my case, and who are alone competent to an swer the question: ‘ what was tt#cause of the death of this lady ?’ And therefore the right and the truth are on my side, and the right and the truth cannot be killed by taking my life. If people just now do not see this, yet time will come When every people will see it—perhaps when my bones will, already long time have moulded in the grave.”. The court then addressed the prisoner as follows; Pan! Schoeppe:—After a patient and protracted trial before a jury of your own selection, and defended by able and zeal ous counsel, you have been found guilty of murder in the'first degree. Our laws require that the crime of will ful and deliberate murder be punished with death, and this is in accordance with the Divine mandate which declares “ that whosoever sheddeth man’s blood bv man shall his blood be shed.” ’ We will not detail or recapitulate the evidence which satisfied ttejuiy of you r guilt, but the arguments of your learned iand zealous counsel have failed to satisfy the court that the verdict is not Justified by the evidence. , - " .. , j Yog ore a man of education'and label licence, andean fully appreciate and re alise |£j(» ppajtionin which your crime *>}/”'SV oe “ ydjj; and we do not consider (I'tieiMsary tp.addreßa you in the lun gdageof adnlonitjqn or warning. TYour, viotlmljvaSj jlfaria M. Steuuecko, apd old lady of;wxty-llvo years of age, and at tbe time a boarderin one ot our hotels, who was possessed of an estate of about $40,- 000. You gained her confidence so far as to correspond with her, and-obtain from her $l,OOO, Emboldened by your success, you determined to .possess.her entire es tate,, land 46; wept, 'your .purpose, you wtoto a paper' purporting, to ije the will «trMatla4MT:SteßnBobß,'tradpnrporting to be B|gned,byiher, lp -which you are the sole legatee, bnd to this 1 paper your name and the name of your father are attached as witnesses. That this paper is false and forged, cannot be doubted, for your father who. was examined as a witness by your counsel, was not even asked whether the paper was genuine. But to consummate your purpose the death of Miss Stenneoke was necessary. This the jury have found you soon- afterwards ef fected by administering to her poison.— The arguments of your pursuasive and eloquent counsel, on tbe motion for a new trial, having failed to satisfy the court that the verdict of the jury is not sustained'by the evidence, it becomes our solemn but imperative duty to pro nounce the sentence of the law upon.you, which is; That you, Paul. Scboeppe, bo taken hence by the Sheriff of Cumberland county to the jail of said county from whence you came, and from thence to the place of execution, within the walls or yard of said jail, and that you there be hanged by the neck until you are dead.” The Judge then addressed the usual prayer: “And may God have mercy on your soul!" We have received the following letter from Ur. Schoeppe, with the request that w t give it a place in our coluipns, and do not feel disposed to deny the request of the unfortunate man. We must, however, take occasion to say that his comments upon the remarks of his honor Judge Graham are entirely uncalled for- as the will itself was given iii . evidence—and his assertion,that his honor manifested any feeling against the prisoner, or en deavored to excite any prejudice against him, is entirely unanstained by the facts, ,ga every person who wit uessed the trial lh aU its stages will be willing to testify.. Wo give the letter for what it isswortnV , ■ JoAugust 21ef,i.1869. WM.KENNEDYiESQ;, Atlortify/Mt Edit)ft Dear hir .■-—His honor. Judge Graham made, before he pronounced tbfe death sentence upon me, some remarks con cerning the •will to which my father is a subscribing witness. He said that this will is a forgery was beyond a doubt, 1 became we had hot examined F. Shoeppe, the subscribing witness, in regard to his signature when he was on the .witness stand.?’ I hereby protest against such proceedings of the Court. It is not for tiie court to decide whether the will is a forgery or not, The decision of this fact belongs to a jury. Secondly, the reason why this will, in the opinion of Judge Graham, is a forgery, is too ingenious to make a long remark necessary, That we, fn a case of murder, did not examine a witness in regard to his signature under a will, shall be evidence that this will is a forgery. Thirdly, What connection had the question of the genuineness’of the will witir the sentence of death to be passed upon me? I cannot but believe that his honor Judge Graham, by the words which he made use of in regard to this will, only wanted to giye the preju dice which exists in certain circles against me, a pretended legal basis. lam a man under sentence of death, whose life is forfeited, if he cannot, find justice before a higher tribunal, and there fore a zero and a nothing against Judge Graham. But such proceeding of the Judge who tried me, shows too clearly his feeling against me to allow me to omit it by silence. I leave it to every h oneat man to judge whether I am wrong or not. • You would oblige me very much, Mr. Editor, if you would please publish these few words by your distinguished paper. . Very respectfully yours, > Dr. SUHOEPPE.
