During tho past two weeks, strenuous ■efforts have been made by the friends of Dr. Sohoeppe to secure his pardon. Com munications have appeared. in the city papers from some eminent chemists and toxicologists, who are not satisfied vith the verdict. Meetings have been held in Philadelphia, New York, Baltimore, Louisville, Pittsburg, St. Louis, Nash ville and other places, at which resolu tions have been adopted, declaring that the testimony on which tho Doctor was convicted was insufficient, and the ver dict unwarranted by the evidence. 'Com mittess have been appointed to wait upon the Governor, and the Executive office has been besieged with the friends of the prisoner. Most of these meetings have been respectful and dignified in charac ter, but. as their statements and actions hive been purely ex parte, we have not given their proceedings a place in our columns. At a-meeting held in Phila delphia, however, there wereprqoeedings Which were simply . disgraceful. A speech was made by a lawyer named Dittman, In which be took occasion to rtflsotupon the Court, the Jury, the At torney. General, the District Attorney, and some, of the'.witnesses, and was guilty of Several palpable misstatements. We take metasion here to reiterate our flnh cohvjotion that ail the gentlemen io auy way connected with this celebra ted trial, discharged ;thelr unpleasant tasks under a solemn and conscientious sense of duty and. responsibility; and we feel it incumbent on us to state that these reflections upon the officers of the law find no response In this! 'community where the gentlemen are known. The folio wing letter from District At torney Maglaughlin, in reply to Mr. Dittman, will doubtless be read with Interest. . To the Editor of The Press : Sik: I have noticed the account of the proceedings of the mass meeting held in your city on Saturday night, December I, in reference to the case of Dr. Bcboeppe. Hitherto L* have remained silent, although it was evident to me, from the tone and nature of the newspaper articles on the subject, that the. case has never been properly understood outside of the .community and persons immediately connected with the trial; . I considered my duty as ending with the trial and conviction of the accused, aud have nut sought to Interfere with the efforts uow being made to save the con demned and undoubtedly guilty man from the extreme penalty of the Jifw, Nor do 1 intend now to say anything as to the merits of the case , itself. When the end has come, and final action has been taken, one way or the other, then, Injustice to the court aud Jury before which the case was tried, to myself, and toad parties who have bad official con nection with the proceedings in the mat ter, 1 shall endeavor to place this uow celebrated trial in a proper light before the public, and to show how lac theca; parte statements which have been put forth to excite public feeling are from giving anythingljke a proper conception of the circumstances under which Dr Bohoeppe bus been convicted. . I desire now to notice several state ments made by Mr.- Dittmau in his speech before the meeting above referred to, ' . , . H* says (if correctly reported): “On that day (Nov. 11} the District Attorney ofUnuberiand couoty had the assuruMue ofF. Carroll Brewster that Dr. Bohoeppe would be hung* let the consequences he what they might,”. In reference to this,l can only v «ay Jbat 1 cannot conceive how Mr. Dlumaii could be drawn into a statement of such acharaoieh Certainly Thayer said so to auy one. I have Qyver seen Mf. Brews ter in my life to ray knowledge, and, con sequently,' ne.yer-spoke to him in refer ence to the CQse of Dr. Bcboeppe or auy other mutter, and no intimation by word or otherwise,' was evqr given to me as to t[ie probable, action of the Executive or the opinion of the Attorney General. Again, Mr, Dittman says: “The Dis trict Attorney of Cumberland county was the private counsel for the heirs of Miss Stiuuecke.”, In answer to this I desire to say, em phatically, that I never had, nor have I now, any connection whatever with the estate of Mias SUnuecke, mir have I ever been, in any way, directly dr indirectly, interested for any of her hefts or legatees My sole connection -with the’ cade has been as District Attorney, and in no other capacity.- , ; Again, Mr. Dittman- speaks of **i)r. iletman, who was hired to swear away the life of Dr. Schoeppe.” Dr. Herman is a physician of-thftty years’ practice,, rgbognlzed, as a skillful and auccessfu pfa'itl* loner,a man of uul ra pe 'ehuble integrity, and commanding the respect of the whole community. He, was an unwilling ydinesa In the oa«*, and at first deeming that Schoeppe hat been unfortunate enough to h«vp caused "liaaßtinneoke’s death by a - injudicious administering of a ll narcotic, but without auy criminal design, he sought to shield the Doctor; and it was Only by dixit of close and repeated, examination that we succeeded In learning from him his full , knowledge '»f the case* .The attack* upon mm have?: excited the most indignant comment in this community, where he. jsknowu too well and respe ted too much "r anch an to dnnoticed. ibe hired mob to which Mr. Dittman referred as gathered around the jury room and shouting, “Hang the Dutchman,’ 1 is a pure product J of the imagination of .some over-zealous friend of Ur. Sohoeppe, ,'Wbo has reported to Mr. Dittman ’•never occurretl. The jury before whom’!Schoeppe was uMid was notably one of the uiohi i.itcill gmteyer empanelled tu our county, anl was virtual.y of the defendant’s "W», choosing, for although the law gave him twenty peremptory challenges and an unlimited right to challenge for caute, S® °niy used four or five of the challenges' Allowed him. Respectfully, &0., . _ (.'. E. MaglauqhLin, , his mot Attorney of Cumberland county. la deference to the wishes of so many respectable gentlemen as haye interceded Miclf of Dr. Scboeppe, the Attorney General lias consented to the issuing of a Writ of.

This of course suspends the execution o' die death penalty, unfit after that date when a new trial may be granted, or the eeilon of the Court below may be affirm ed, which willdt termluetbe future action ■of the Governor, one way or the other. ■ 'The following Is the petition 'of Dr Sehoeppe and . the. correspondence be Attorney General Brewster und'W.

Carroll Brewster, Attorney-General. December 10,1809., Interview Between Baron Gerolt and' Gov. Geary—What Geary Thinks op. the Case. Special Correspondence of the ihguftpr, Harrisburg, Deo. 11,1869. . The Inquirer correspondent has had a full and very satisfactory conversation with His Excellency, the Governor, in regard to the case of Dr. Paul Bbneppe, convicted in the Cumberland County Common Pleas of the murder, by poison.<: of Miss Maria M. Bteiunecke, atCariisde The Executive bad Just returned from New York, having gone, thitner to pre side over a meeting of the Union League of America. In response to a question as fo the ob ject of the. Prussian Minister’s visit, the Governor an-wered that Baron Gerolt has paid him the compliment of u call on Saturday, and that there bad been a cun : saltation in regard to Dt\ Bhoeppe, last ing until late In the day, in which perfect good feeling was manifested on both sidesi The Baron had been very urgent, but very respectful in bis represei rations to His Excellency, desiring a full pardon for the aiiedged offense of the prisoner. During tne interview the ex pre-sed the hope that this matter might not engender any bad feeling between me States of Germany and the United States, which had so long conttougd on terms of amity aud national, good .will. To this lie Governor had answered ch it he true- ted, on.his part, that the execution of a sentence pronounced in obedience to the solemn verdict of twelve good aud relia b e citizens of Pennsylvania would not serve to alienate the affections or regards of the peoples of two sane and sensible nations ; that the duties of his office, un der his inauguration oath to sdstaiu and to faithfully execute the laws'pf ids State, required that he should carry out the sentence of a court of justice legally and constitutionally constituted,,unless facts were presented. to f ' him which had not be j u presented to the lower court, or upon which the Judge and Jury hud not acted. ,s n. The Baron had then left for Washing ton, promising,, on a request from the Governor, .to communicate in writing anything further which he might have to say in the premises. On the Govern or’s arrival from New York Boron Qer olt’s letter awaited him the original, of which His Excellency kindly consented should be copied for publication .: . Legation of the North German Union, Washington, Deo. 8, 1869. Dear Governor: After my interview with your Excellency in Harrisburg, on the 4th Inst., I returned to Washington.deep ly Impressed with the convioton that the judicial proceedings in the ca»e of Dr. Sboeppe, who bud been accused of having caused the death, of bis putieut, Miss Bteiunecke, by administering to her.pru sioacid, were conducted with impartiality according to the laws of Pennsylvania, and that the statements in the public pa pers, and in private letters addressed to your Excellency, against the integrity* of the jurors and the Crimlnul Court who nave their.verdict of guilty, are without foundation and Justice. I am happy, to say to your Excellency that the great excitement of the German * population in this country against the sentence of death of Dr. Shoeppe u was caused by the opinion, publicly ex pressed by medical authorities iu Phila delphia, New York, Baltimore, Wash ington, and in other cities, by whom Dr. ■ Aiken’s chemical analysis of the contents of Miss Btcionecke’s stomach had been examined, that the evidence of poison (prussic acid) presented to the jurors and u the ,Criminal Court was. insufficient and doubtful. This uncertainty of the symptoms of the prussic acid in the alorsuid analysis, has since teen strengthened by all medi cal authorities in.this country who have been consulted on the subject, Ou my return to Washington, I tooa pains my self in examining the numerous petitions aud opinions addressed to me from vari ous parts pf the country, and they all agree that the evidence of prussic acid or any other poison having been the cause of Mies Steluueoke’s death is insufficient. From the testimonies of distinguished medical authorities whom 1 consulted, I beg leave to present to your Excellency (the inclosed opinion of the Medical Soii ety in Washington. Upon so many respectable authorities, and in consideration of the existing friendly rolatlona aud feelings between the United states'and Germany, I lud .taken the llber y of addressing your Ex cellency personally at your residence i.u behalf of Dr riuoenpo, with the consent and the kind introduction of the honora ble Secretary ol State of the United Stales. Uuvihg been kindly requested by your Excellency to address jou In wri ting, I have now , the honor to comply with that request, and, together with so many thousands of my countrymen In this country. I beg your Excellency to take Into kind consideration their peti tions on behalf of Dr. Shoeppe, and their appeal to your Excellency, to the exercise of which privilege you are entitled by the Constitution and laws of-Pennsylva nia, as Governor of that Suite, in expressing again to your Excellency my sincere gratitude for.'-the kindness with wbion you have received my visit and my verbal representation on behalf of Dr, Sboeppe, I beg to add that the in formation which 1 have received, since my return to .Washington, of the respec tability of his family and of his profess ional eaucsii m at the principal universi ties In Germany, seem to justlly the sympathies manifested under theoirotim stunees by. his countrymen and many American citizens. X have the honor to be, with the high est consideration, your Excellency’s most obedient servant. Üb. V. Gbiiolt. To His Exoe.l noy, John W. Geaby, Governor of Pennsylvauiu Harrisburg. P, S.—Xf your Excelleucy should deem it convenient to make any use of this oommbUicatiOh, { should have no objec tion to it. Ha. V, Gebo.LT, io tiiiH letter, written in a fair English clerk’s hand, is attached the autograph of the Baron, in German . scrip The opinion of tile Washington Medical Soci ety, to which he alludes, was read at the argument before the Governor, at which Mr. bittmau, of Philadelphia, represen ted the prisoner. The Ba ou, before the interview was ended, toos. occasion to condemn, very severely, the attacks mude up<«n the integjlty ofthe Court and Jury, and hoped that this violence of lan guage would not serve tu shut the doors of clemency. » .Your reporter suggested that the press and the public were i.uxlous to ascertain the views of the Executive in the matter of the pardon of Dr; Shoeppe. The Governor answered, thalj. the mat ter hud presented itself to him somewhat ru this light; He had received* a large numberof applications for pardon, and among them was the case of Dr. Shoeppe. In every instance he bad endeavored to understand the nature ofthe case pre sented, and in this case, considering the excitement raised in the minds of a cer tain class of people in regard to it, he had determined from the start to give tbe mutter a close and impartial attention. On his inauguration as Chief Magis trate, hdhud taken a solemn oath belbre the Legislature, tbejudiciury and the as sembled people, to “take care that the laws be faithfuly executed. The judici ary constitute a co-ordinate branch of the government, whose authority should always be respected. A court of justice hud, after eiglit\duys' faithful examina tion,decided that the defendant was guil ty of thiscrime. twelve jurymen, good and true citizens, had, one by one, put their names to the verdict. Since then no facts had been represented to him in behalf of the prisoner that hud not been presented to the court aud fully delibera ted uj)on. ; The trial being ov*t, after the verdict there was an application for a new trial, which was denied. Then a writ of error was taken to the Supreme Court. Here ihe following formula wasobserved : The application was referred singly and pri vately to each without the knowl edge of or any communication with Ids fellow brothers on the Bench, and. the separate reply of each Judge was handed Co the Chief Justice. If there had been a single doubt as to the justice of the pro cee.diugs below, or as to any portion of the charge of the judge to the Jury, an allocatur would, undoubtedly have been grunted. But the Supreme Bench unan imously refused the application, and the relusal was formally.seab d >wu to the ap pellants. The Governor then wrote Judge Gra ham a letter, asking if. everything that could be done for- the prisoner had been done ; if there was anything beyond the evidence presented before the court which could change the aspect ot the case, or palliate the guilt of the uufortu-. nute man. Toe Judge had answered that everything that could he done for him hud been done, and that there was noth ing, in his opinion, that should, change the effect of the sentence of the court, or that could palliate.his guilt. Every one of the twelve jurymen who convicted him still, even now, conscientiously be lieve and asseverated that he was right in his decision. The defence had had every opportunity to be heard,, but they had as yet told him .nothing new—nothing beyond the testi mony elicited before thejury. In view of all this, the question hud repeatedly suggested itself to, the Gov ernor, coulo he do aught else thau'Maith- fully execute the law ?' In regard to the alleged doubt of poison having beep administered, the Governor said that this matter had been passed up on by the Court "nd jury.. Besides, there were other points iu the case which the press had not met. The will cohid scarce ly be ignored. 1 . . The defence had refused to place the father of the prisoner—the only witness of the will dated the day . prior to the death of the deceased—upon the stand to swear to the signutureof Missßudiiuecke. While little or nothing has been-(lone by the defense in disapproval of thjexlinks of evidence, much hud been, represented to him, by men wh-<m he knew !to be ot undeniable veracity, In regard toHchnep pe’s past life, aud in reference to circum stances surrounding this case, which it was hard for him to disbelh'V't or utterly throw asside In his review of the case. ■ The great difficulty with the Uovtruor. seemed to be this s—After all there were comparatively. few who asked for elds pardon —say five hundred or a thommmi people—aud of these probably a very few understood tbe case, certainly not hh it presented itsell to him, with ad the facte; spread before him. besides there being another party directly concerned in (hi* matter, protesting against the'liberation ol the prisoner, and.urging the \indica tion, of justice, there were four or five millions of people whose voices were si lent, who stood calmly aside In expect ation of the execution of the law. Then, too, this case had assumed a somewhat dangerous aspect A particu lar class of people weie asking lor-this, pardon, and the Governor deprecated all class movements, winch bad for its ten dency the ci ncentration of any caste or nationality in a demand for Executive action as Inconsistent with the genius of. our government- The immediate friends of Dr. Scboep pe hud asked for an unconditional libera lion. They had not even asked for a re prieve. This was the tenor, of Mr. Dlt man’s address, and he was authorized to speak directly for the prisoner.. His con cluding words, ptluted iu large caps, were %% death or liberty!'* , - Reporter-r-Aiu J safe, then, In saying that your Excellency is still cotfvincedjof the guilt of the prisoner, or that as . yet nothing baa been developed in favor of the pardon of Dr. Bohoeppe 7 The Governor—You may say what you *i’ll. You have heard just how I feel. I s mil certainly try to do right in this matter. I shall perform my duty to the, best ol my ability, I shall not allow any' mere sympathy to weigh down tbe scales against justice and the interests of socie ty. Murder amL personal violence are but too frequent In this Commonwealth, and law breakers are becoinlng alarm ingly prevalent. lam surprised at the tender compassion so publicly shown for murderers, I feel convinced that my du ty is to think' well before taking any ac tion which has a tendency to lighten men’s regard for crime. Auction Sale op Land.— We call at tention to the advertisrnent of Mr. B. 6. Tuyior, who will offer some three thou sand acres of land iu South-East Missouri, at public auction, at the Court House, in this borough, on Saturday next. We spoke of the character and landing of Mr. Taylor in our last week’s issue, and oftho confidence which might he reposed in his statements. We ai*e assured by him that the lauds to be offered* are of a superior quality. He will give full par- ticulurs at the time of the sale. There can be no doubt, wa think, that here ip offered a rare chance for profitable and safe investment. The system of rail road completed and inaugurated in this section of Missouri, cannot fail to bring this fine region into Immediate notice, and must Insure its rapid development.— ■Vmnng the attractive features is the flue, soft climate, wiiiob,added to the superior soil, makes the country very a 1 tractive. However, ds we.bave already remarked, Mr. Taylor will give full particulars on the occasion of the sale. . . Prepare fob It.—Those ladles, and others, who have not yet prepared any thing forthe gallant boys of the “Union,” will bavo a week lunger to prepare. The ladles are In favor of anion, fa ct man, and they will all contribute something. This' Is to remind them that articles ought to be handed in before Christmas eve. . - A bbkstkd.— Several young men who were committing depredations on the propel ty of Mint Dwlu, on East street, on Saturday night, wore arrested by the po lice and bound over foi court. Eab si ebs should have an eye to stable fastenings. Horse thieves are doing a brisk business all through the State. Hock the stable'door before the horse is stolen, Terrible Accident. -On Thursday m-'miog last, Mr. N. C. Woods, residing üboul a mile and n-haif ehst nf Newville, mot with u must painful and shocking accident.. Ho was engaged in hulling oioverseed; pud being himself tire driver, and standing upon a horse-power not covered' with a platform, fell into the large wheels below, where, before the horses could be cheeked, his right leg was caught, crushed aud literally torn off be low tile knee. Dra. Robin son and Hilde man, of Newvllle, were immediately sent for, who, watting about five bouts for a sufficient degree of reaction, ampu tated the limb above the knee. This, In connectiou with other injuries and bruis es' proved too much for a system not very strong nhturally and which bad already been terribly sboo ked. In about an hour after the operation, he began to sink, and in another hour.and half died. The death of this young man about twenty-three years of age, is peculiarly distressing. Since the death of bis fa ther,three orlf.mr years since, ho has been the main support of his mother and younger brothers and sisters. He carried on farming at the old home stead, with more than ordinary energy and success, for one of bis years. And because the accident could so easily have been avoid ed, simply by having a platform upon the horse.-power, makes the recollection of it unusually saddening., He was a moat exemplary .young man and devoted Christian gentleman,loved and respected by all who knew him. Thu "Union” Fair.—The "Union" boys are displaying even more thau their usual activity in preparing for their fai r to be held in Rheem's Hall, duridg the holidays, and if their programme hfcarri ed out as they now anticipate, we have no hesitation in predicting that it will be the most successful fair ever held in thjls place- More than ordinary intefe&t seems to be taken in it by. .the ladies, who' render everything ii"BUCceBß~tbat they uuder'ake; and the display of needle* work'will doubtless be large and hand some. Amongst the articles to be "chanced off” we notice a magnificent trotting buggy, from the manufactory of A. B. Sherk, a large size cooking stove, and a.first class rag-carpet. We wil( r siiy in behalf of the “Union" company, that it is certainly one of the most efficient organizations In our fire department, aud its demands upon the public are probably le-s.frequent than any other couapuny.— Those who patronize the fair will not only get the worth of their money, but will also encourage the firemen, and thereby increase the protection of their property. The fair will open on Christ mas eve, wflen everybody and his wife aud children will be on hand. What Is It For?— Considerable anxie ty bas been .manifested to know what use is to be made of tho one-story hoard edi fice recently erected on the Court House square. Some thought it was for. the ac comodation of the geutlemen who appear ou tlie Court House steps, on the warm sunshiny days; others contended that it was. intended for .the residence of our faithful friend, " thochampion bill post er;" others claimed that ,it was to b© a colored velocipede rink, to be run in op position- to tl*e one in the hall. The hlngjjpew more mysterious when seve ml huge blocks of murblfe were unloaded from the cars, and the boys b gan to whisper of grave yards and ghosts. We take great pleasure in. relieving the public.anxiety upon this momentous question, by stating: that the building is -intended for the. use of the workmen of Richard Owens, who is. po’w rapidly pushing the (Soldiers, Monument on to completion..' Presentations.—The public school ch i Id ren bad a grand jpll ideation on Mon day morning. If was the beginning of their Christmas vacation, and as usual, they signalized the event by making presents to their respective teachers. — They proceeded to their. several school houses—the boys making things gene rally disagreeable'and noisy by the music of tin trumpets, barmonicuns and cow bells—and there the presentations were had with all due formality. Turkeys* chickens, geese, apples, and things of that “ilk,” seemed, to be the favorites amongst the boys; while vases, table ware, needle-work, &dJ, were presented by the girls. Our teachers will live on the fat of the land during the next two weeks. Harrow -Escape.—bne day last week, while "threshing grain on the separator at Philip Koonlz's, near tills borough, Stephen Henderson narrowly escaped with bis life. Ttappeafs Mr. H was pass ing near the, tumbling shaft, and having a lung coal oh at Uie time, the tail.caught on the shaft.' Mr. Heiulzelman, who was feeding the thresher, and a coloied mau who was driving, botheimultaueos ly saw Mr.‘H.’s precarious position, and in the nhotdest' possible time had the ma chinery stopped.—Mr. Hi escaped unin jured, blit his overcoat was torn from Ids back, and bis other clothing consider ably demoralized.— Shippensburg Nem, . Destructive Fire. -On: Sunday evening last, aboht eight o’clock, the barn belonging to the heirs of the late Sami. X. Smith, hi Hopewell township, a short distance beyond Newville, wa discovered to be on Are. The entire building was soon enveloped in flames, and together with four cows, agricultural implements and a lot of bay, wan eptire ly consumed. A number of hay pud straw stacks adjoining the b-irn were also burned. The Are is supposed to have been the work of an Incendiary, as none of the family had been near the building since before dusk on that evening. Scarcity op Money.— The scarcity of money is the burden of conversation everywhere. Those who have money bold on to It under the impression that times are going to bo tighter. Under the present circumstances the best way to get along and make business better, is to keep the money, in circulation. Let every man who has a dollar keep it moving, and it will eventually come book to him. Money is no account whatever unless it is kept in use: boarded up it is a curse, kept In circulation it is a blessing. Let every map'pay bis debts as fast as be can, and- money will soon beplentier. Another Chicken Thief.— On Sun day night, poiloenieu Swartz & Green, made a descent upon an ancient “Ameri can citizen of African 'scent, 11 who was entering town from the rural districts on the South of the borough, 'with a number of chickens in bis possession— all of them with their necks wrung. He was arrested, and gave bis nameos John son, from the vioinlty of Harrisburg. “Why did Joseph’s brethren put him In a pit?I’asked 1 ’asked a Buffalo Sunday school teacher; and the reply he got was, “be cause there was no room in the family oUqle,J{ ; ' Disastrous Fire in Bhippknsbdro— Judge Blair’s Wareho me and two Sla bleu Burned—A large Quantity nf Oafs and Cjrn Destroyed.—On Monday even ing, about six o’clock, a tire was discover ed in the hay-loft of a stable owned by Mr. Smiley, in Hhlppensburg. The sta ble was situated on the alley running from King, or railroad street, parallel with Main street. The fire was soon communicated to the stable on the prop erty occupied by Hon. Andrew G. Mil ter, our Stale Senator, and owned by Messrs J. & J. B. Beddig. This stable was soon consumed, together with a cow and calf, and a quantity of hay. The flames next seized hold on the ware house occupied by Judge Blair, also the property of the Messrs Beddig, which was also burned to the ground. The ad joining warehouse of Judge Blair was considerably damaged by fire. In the warehouse wjjieb was burned there were about four.thousand bushels of oats and four hundred bushels of corn- There are, two. theories in regard to the origin of tire fire; one is that it was the work of an incendiary, and the other that it was caused by a burning wad from a eun fired, in the neighborhood, by some boys, half an hour before the lire was discovered. ■ Thanks.— During pur absence from home last week, Jobn-B. Leidig, Esq., our member of Assemby-elect, sent to our family a large quantity of superior fresh pork and sausages, for which we return him our sincere thanks. M,r.
