want everybody to be up in time for
|be early train, and then taking the
Allentown route, passing down the Le
jlgb valley, in and out amongst its
iniuklng furnaces and i|s heaps of coal
111 J ore, crossing the Delaware at Eus
lon, with a short run through one Of the
prettiest valleys of New Jersey , we land
at New York in time for a late dinner.—
Then we'll take a ride down the bav and
a plunge in the surf at-Long Branch.—
The ‘lock from which the steamer starts
presents a scene of bustle and cun fusion.
Dozens of draymen are unloading boxes
ami barrels, dozens of 11 baggage smash
en” are plying their vocation, and pass
engers are arriving in a continuous
jfrentn. A baud of music on the vessel
strives, with clangor of horn and drum
ami cymbal, to bring harmony out of the
con fusion. The whistle screams and sets
several of the surrounding bells to ring
ing; and the vessel moves out into the
ilreinn, and takes its way among hun
dreds of craft, which fly the flags of every
nationality; to the mouth of the Hudson.
We take our places on the uft-deck,.that
we may better view the scenery. We
soon pass Fort Lafayette, and Cony Is-
IqikJ with its long white beach glittering
Id tliesuullght. Now weareoutof sight
of land, and begin tdSbotice the gently
undulating motion of the sea-waves'. The
EODPation is something’ like that expe
rienced on a swing; and some of the la*-
dies resort to a vigorous use of their Cam
phor bullies. To us landsmen it is a pe-
culiar feeling to be out of sight of land
The ocean seems to rise all around us
until it meets the sky,.aud the line of the
Jionzon seems to be as high above us the
tans of the mountains which border our
Cumberland valley. The waters seem to
form a funnel, with ourselves ub the bot
tom of it; and as the waves, stirred iuto
constant motion, come down, upon us,
jack one flashes as I fit held a jewel iu its
:rest. Wo almost expect to be enguiied,
jutthe gallant ship buoyantly rises to the
lop of the waves, aud we feel that we are
master of the waters. '
Fussing in sight of the Sandy Hogk
lighthouses, we land at Monmouth, and
i railway ride of twenty minutes along
the sea-shore brings us to Long Branch.
There are half a dozen first class hotels,
each situated wilhiu a hundred yards oi
the beach, and All constructed of frame,
and but two and three stories high to
protect them against the ocean storms.—
They are all surrounded with pleasant
verandas, suitable for promenading even
lu inclement weather. Of course we g»
down on the beach to see the breakers
come in, and hear their sullen ruar.llke
the sound of distant canu mailing. That
cob'efirilow with the white crest looks us
if be would topple over us, but like the
others be breaks iu surf upon the shore
iostiocUyely we are reminded of our own
piiet’s comparison of the ocean to l * the
pulse of the Eternal throbbing on the
shores of time.” _Tnere is a beautiful,
pe«rl-cofored sea-shell, take it and write
your name upon the sand, land cull to
mind these lines o f the lamented Preu-
“ Alone I walked the ocean strand,
A pearly shell was la ray hand;
I stooped and wrote upon the sand
My mime, the year and duy;
As onward from th* spot 1 nussed,.
One lingering look behind I cast,
A wave came rolling high and.tost.
Aud .washed my lines away."
Strolling along the beach for two or
three miles, we encounter three or fom
thousand people, each group enjoying it-
jelf after its own fashion. Here is a sol
Id, well-to-do, well-dnsaed and pleasant
old fellow, the lather of, the lashioimbh
family arcuud him. By his side sits
corpulent and comfortable mater fami’
lias, »uch as one sees at.the Fifth Ave
nue hotel; and the elegantly dressed, at
tenuated ami listless daughters, such as
one also sees at the Fifth Avenue, sur
rounded by dapper youth just let loose
Into society, fragrant with patchouli, and
pantaloons so tight their legs look as.lf
they bad been melted ami poured in.
iwhile the big end of the material seems
Jto have run down into their boots. Here
Bis a middle-aged philosophic looking man
Iffhoyou know has come down “ to the
■Branch’’ to pay the bills and look after
|h(swife’s luggage. Meanwhile the hands,
perched in their summer orchestras, give
us selections from the latest operas ; and
out of compliment to the occasion we
pronounce the music ravishing, though
to bo candid we only base our opinion
upon the fact that tl.e poor fellows work
away at their horns and drums until they
I are wet with perspiration, and we are
j charitable enough to believe tb it such
I hard work ought to produce music of the
I highest order.
I Did you ever see an odder looking
I group than that party in bathing? You
j full to recognize your best friend if y«u
1 meet him or her arrayed for a plunge be
[neath the waves,;, and you w« uld never
imagine that the group we refer to. Is the
Bbue which yesterday dined at the table
adjoining l our’s. * Crimps and silks and
pauiera and double skirts have given
place to straw, hats and woolen suits,
which serve to.shbw up dame nature iu
all her awkwardness and deformity.—
What a queer looking set we would be, if
fadilon didn’t cut our clothes lor us! To
ace a long line of people just emerging
from a breaker at Long Branch, is not.
calculated to inspire us with admiration
for 1 the human form divine.” But dur
day at the Branch isulmost ended—there
is a glorious drive for several miles along
the beach, and In the evening the road is
crowded with fast horses and costly eqi
P a gea, As. the shades of evening full, the
lamps along the road and in front of the
hotels are lighted, forming a grand illu
mluaiiou, in pleasant contrast with the
dark blueofthosea. Then, as theevenipg
is cool, the parlors are soon crowded, the
sound of music is heard, and the sociable
kop” or more formal bull enlLts the
younger portion of the guests, while the
gcuttemeu repair to the billiard saloon or
smoking room, to wile away the hours
i bedilmo. .
Another early start will take us to Now
York iu time for the morning boat up the
' Budaon. There is Singßlug, the Orphan
lAayluinaud Peeksklllou the right bank,
while the Palisades rise in solemn gran
deur oq the 10ft— u perpendicular wall of
“olid rook, rising to the height of several
undred feet above Che level of the river
aod extending nearly ten miles—a grau
*r piece of masonry than was ever
flight by the baud of man. That odd
looking mountain ridge is St. Anthony’s
DotJe » of which every one has heard, iii\d
Which looks about as much like the
“aluta* big toe aa his nose. A railway
tutirtel now inns under the bridge of
Anthony’s mml organ, somewhat aiiir
l*hn; Its profile and gluing it the appuaV
nnce ot uu ugl; case of cancer. Thus does
tepcroauhing' f mar the natural
beauties of tbo [landscape. Farther to t!ho
right is thejamous Sugar Loaf mountain.
A year or so ago it was thought no one
had everclimbed to its top, and auexplo
ing party was organized to do ao. Im
agine their astonishment, when they
renohedstho summit, to find there a hu
man skeleton bleached white*. Who was
it? some adventurous explorer, or some
dibhearfenedold "trump’ who bad climb
ed up there die, in full view of the
glorious Hudson? " Hud he a father
bad ho a mother; had he a sister ; hud
he a brother; or was there a nearer one
still, and a duarerone?" Itcould scarcely
be Rip Van Winkle,, or Washington
In iug, or Joe Jefferson,
/ Just across the river, on a rocky bluff*,
stands. Cozzeu’s West Point Hotel, a
celebrated place of summer resort, com
manding a view of the Hudson for miles.
The river is covbred with sailing vessels
and palatial steamships fitted up .with all
tne elegance and conveniences or first
class hotels. While you sit, in the twi
light. gazing, half in admiration, half in
serious, meditation, upon the wondrous •
scene of beauty lying beneath and
around you, darkness fulls upon the \va :
ters, and you can only distinguish the
vessels which go up and down the'stieam
by the lights at their mast-heads. Here
comes a single light, then a whole con
stellation of stars,.reflected in the water
beneath, and passing noiselessly by. If
your bedroom commands a view of the
river, we would be willing to Jay a wa
ger that you do not retire to rest until
near day-break,, and are out of bed in
time to see the quu climbing over tbe
highlands, pluying'wiih the mists below
>md-tbe clouds above, with.a ray, here,
and a flash, there, and a-shower of jew
els every where.
Afler breakfast we will take a walk uj>
(o West Point. It is only a mile, and
over such a road as would put the streets
of Carlisle to the blush, if their rough aud
dirty faces were capable of such a mani
festation of shame. Now and then we
pause, charmed with the exceeding
beauty of the scene. We.walk under an
arch formed.by uoblo forest trees; up to
our.ieft riseathemountain, while through
the trees on our right wo catch occasional
glimpses of the flashing stream beneath
and the blue bills on its farther side.—
We can imagine no fitter location for a
school for young men than West point,
with its .ever-varying and surpassingly
beautiful panorama of wood aud moun
tain apd river. It ought to be a nursery
for true and brave men, who will stand
for the right when I he heavens totterand
the earth reels. The grey and brown
college buildings,with tlieir varied forms
of architecture, present a picture some
thing like* that we have formed in om
mind’s eye of the old English universi
ties. It is vacation time—the senior
ch'B«ea have gone homo, and the lower
undergraduates are eucamped along the
river. The courteous, trim lookingcadets
iu grey coals and white pantaloons,
politely give you all the information you
desire. Those are the-residences of the
officers; this building, the mess room,
those; the dormitories, and that In the
right the library. But we have no time
lor a close inspection, as the day boat will
be along iu a few miuules to take us up
the river to Albany.
Clerk to Commissioners. —We ne
glected last week to notice the retire
ment of James Armstrong, clerk ol
the Commissioners, and the taking
chaigeof the office by John B. Floyd,
Esq., the new clerk. Mr, Armstrong
(mu held the office fur a number of years,
and-was in; all respects a competent,
faithful and efficient officer. He proba
bly possessed a more intimate acquaint
m ce with county matters than any other
in the county, was prompt
and expeditious iu the discharge of his
duties, and always courteous and
accomodating to those having business
iu the office.
Mr- Floyd gained considerable reputa
tion for clerical ability and'correct busi
ness habits, while in the Recorder’s of
fice, a few years ago. and we feel assur
ed the utiaira of the county will not suf
ler under his management.
Improvements.— Cary VV. Ahl, Esq.,
is building a commodious brick ware
house, ou the South Mountain railroad,
near the engine bouse. It will be two
stories high, and in dimensions forty-five
by thirty feet. 14
A. H. Blair is- also ,erecting a large
frame warehouse, at his lumber yard,
near tbe junction of the Cumberland
Valley uuid South Mountain railroads.
The buainer-s done by the hew road is
attracting the attention of business men
to the lower end of the town, and wo
expect before long to see some handsome
improvements iu that locality.
Public Baths.—What a shame it is
we have no public bath houses along the
Letofl or Couuduguinet. Such institu
tions are essential for pleasure, for clean-
liness and fur health. There is no more
pleasurable excitement than a bath. It
semis the blood bounding through the
veins, and produces a heathy glow over
the whole system. Of course there are
hundreds of private bathing' houses in
town—nearly every commodious house
has Its bath room—but this is no advan
tage to the great mass of the ppople, who
do not get a regular plunge bath from
one year’s end to the other.

Aiter the Red —We are in- '
dcbled to our esteemed friend. Dr. B* G.
Cowdrey, of the United Slates Army,
for a slip from the Leavenworth (Kansas)
Bulletin , containing on account of on en
gagement with the Indians, in which
two young gcnllemcn from this place,
J. W. Sullivan and W. C. Irvine, partici
pated. The letter is dated from Camp
Supply, Indian Territory, and after al
luding to some previous Indian skir
mishes, contains the following:
As an interesting episode in these In
dian encounters, I would like to mention
an engagement which occurred between
First Lieut. John‘A. Bodamor with
twenty-five men of F troop, and a large
number of Indians, near Buffalo Creek,
ou Wednesday, theStbinst.
This officer with his command was es
corting a train to this post, when - the
Redskins made a dash upon the rear. —
They numbered about one hundred war
riors. Appearing suddenly they we’re
not at fl*st- opposed, and succeeded in
cutting oft* three wagons laden with gov
ernment stores. The military instantly
bore down upon them, and a discharge
from their cartiiiifS unseated five-braves
—two killed and three wounded—and
hastened the retreat of the remainder. —
They carried their dead along by fasten
ing tbeir lariats around the necks of the
corpses, the utmost expedition being lm-‘
posed upon them by the lively lire that
was kept up.
Mr. J. W. Sullivan and Mr. W. C.
Irvine, from • Carlisle, Pa., who were
merely along as spectators, and uu their
way to tills post tor a short visit, fortu
nately brought their Henry rifles with
them. Mr. Sullivan succeeded in shoot
ing a bunch of feathers from the war bon
net of one of the braves, which lie now
bus as a trophy* of .Ida Indian service.—
Mr. Irvine ailed one pony, and badly
wounded one Indian who was so close to
him that Me. Irvine made a rush aod ob
tained a spear or lance,saddle and bridle,
and in fact all fhe personal plunder Mr,
Indian had along, and which he values
very highly. Ureat credit is due these
two young gentlemen for their coolness
ami good service during the engagement.
Corporal Jerry Fieeman, and private
Winchester, of F troop, were wounded.
and twenty animals were killed and
wounded, although the Indian profited
none by this, as tie was only too ready to
get away with .his own sea p.
Numerous expeditions have been fitted
out. by the go\ eminent and sent in pur
suit of the Indians, and returned with
out the satistucllon of punishing .them
as much us this little band, who brought
in the saddles, arrows dances, and iu fact,'
a sufficient number of trophies to show
chut tiie Indians were severely punished.
Wo congratulate bur young fellow-
townsmen upon their valor iu fighting
die “ redrskins.” Dr. Cowdrey informs
us that the letter contains “ a very cor
rect account of the . engagement,” aud
we have no doubt it does our young
friends nothing more than justice. If
they go for the “ noble red man” in that
style, Grant had better give them the
contract for settling the Indian troubles.
The Dog Law.—Dogs are not so plen
ty on our streets as they were previous to
the ordinance passed by the . Town
Council. The demand for muzzles last
week at the hardware stores was quite
brisk, aud about all the valuable dogs iu
towu now have their mouths adorned
with wire nosegays. The police have
taken up.a number ou our streets found
unprotected as provided by law, which
la proving quite effective. The canine
tribe meet with no mercy, but much
justice—at the hands of our town officers,
Indeed, we think the diminution of the
number of canines will be an achieve
ment worthy of annual celebration by
those whose sympathies incline rather to
the human than the b ule creation. '
Lead is undoubtedly, the best proven
live of hydrophobia. Deaths by this ter
rible malady have been alarmiugly fre
quent within a year past, and thus fur
no remedy baa been found. Once attack
ed, the victim is given up by physicians
and friends, the maiu piecautibn taken
being, to prevent him from Injuring those
around him in his.frenzy. It can hard
ly be doubted that all the dogs in the
world are worth much less than one hu
man life, and consequently we expect to
see some day or other a general war of
aggression waged against the curs, both
of high aud low degree. Let every ani
mal exhibiting the slightest symptoms
of hydrophobia he immolated at once,
audio nil cases let the bipeds have the
benefit ol auy doubts which may exist.
Daring Robbery.—On Monday fore
noon (the 4th.) the house of Mr. James
Graham, in Mechanicsburg, was entered
during the absence of the family, and
r bbed of money and jewelry to the
amount of about fifty dollars. Several
sets of jewelry, belonging Ben
net, of Cambridge, Md., who is at present
visiting iu Mr. Graham’s family, were
among the articles stolen, with a heavy
plain gold ring, marked "18 k," and a
sum of money. Several other articles of
jewelry, and considerable money, belong
ing to different members of the family,
were also taken. Entrance was effected
through one of the windows in the back
portion of the house.
Raspberries, largo and luscious, are
now ripe, aud there is a very fair yield
in this vicinity.
• Elderberries.— I The elder-berry is„of
modern growth. *
Blackberries.—From present ap
pearances there will be ah abundance of
blackberries this season.
Huckleberries are plenty and com
mand 12 cents a quart.
Repaired. The First Lutheran
church is undergoing repairs. Btuiued
glass windows are to be introduced, and
some other modifications made, in the
internal arrangements of tbe building.
Harvest.— Tbe grain Is nearly all in,
and the fa. mens will take u.short breath

Good Advice.—A philosopher says, if
you want a pair of boots to last four years,
melt and mix four ounces of mutton tal
low; apply while warm, place the boots
in a closet,and go barefoot-
Holly.—Tne uoLela at Holly have an
unusually good run of custom this year.
Nearly |xll tbe rooms at Muhin’s aud
Geyer’s have been engaged.
Serious Accident. —Ou ibe afternoon
of July 4th, John Simmons, a moulder
iu Bmeyser’s foundry, iu York, while
attempting to leap from a freight train,
fell under the wheels of a ear, and had
his right leg so terribly crushed and
mangled below Che knee that amputation
became necessary.
The Day's Length.— lt ia not quite
dark, now, until nearly hull past 8
o’clock at the night. Iu countries fur

now continues till nearly a quarter past
11; and iu the northernmost purls of

Dear Sirs.— Tliure,bus been. a horri
ble murder perpetrated, very recently,
by a very highly respectable citizen ol
McVejtowu, Mifflin county. " Old
Mother Cumberland county'" beaten most
unmercifully by a very respectable farmer
of said county, with clover 11 feet 9
inches. Whoever heard of such mam*
moth clover before ? Would the fanner
please inform the tillers of our county
soil w hat kind of fertilizers he uses to raise
such mighty tall grass? We are able to
produce a sample of 6 feet s inches, at
any time our neighbor may desire to see
it, and will meet him at any place he
may name to us. I would propose at
Harrisburg, at the 4 United States Hotel,
and if he can beat me fairly, we will have
a friendly old chat on raising tall clover.
I hope the gentleman does not think I
doubt his veracity, but I can doubt wha<j
my eyes do not behold and further, as a
citizen of Old Mother Cumberland, I feel
myself too ambitious to staud such a hor
rible murder os has been perpetrated on
our much esteemed old county. Beaten
to death without any , provocation !
grouse, “ farmers of Cumberland,”
plpqgh a little deeper, pulverize your soil
a little more, and sow your clover earlier
and I think “ Old Mother u certainly
will be restored to life again.

An Appeal to a Generous and
Benevolent Public.— The Society of
the Wesley Zion M. E. Church, pum-
Bering one hundred members, through
a kind and beneficent being, have been
enabled, after many hinderances, to
erect a suitable little chapel 30 by‘46 on
on North street, of brick material, the
building and ground costing about
twenty-seven hundred dollars; twenty
three hundred being , already paid,
leaving a balance of four hundred dol
lars to be subscribed to liquidate the
debt, and one hundred dollars for addi
tional work. The society therefore feel
gratified to their friends who did not
suhsciibe cents, but dollars to assist
this poor but deserving people, who
have only within a few'years been
privileged to worship God.under their
own vine and fig tree. We trust that
the friends of the cause of Christianity
will lend a helping hand in this, our
last struggle to free ourselves of debt,
and God will bless the liberal hand.—'
Each member of the church and sab
bath school- will be entrusted \yith a
book, and will present it to their friends
for contributions.
By order of the Board of Trustees,

Moonlight Pionic.—A number of
our young ladies and gentlemen held a
moonlight picnic, on the grounds of
Danl. S. Hunter, Esq., on Saturday
evening lost. Elegant refreshments
were served, and under the sweet smiles
ol fair Luna everything passed ofT joy
ously. /
Stuuck nyXioiiTNiNQ —Oafe'iday af
ternoon last, the barn of Mr. iieynolds
Wallace, a short distance town,
was struck by lightning, but strange to
say, very little damage Was done it.—
The thunder bolt struck of the
roof, splintering a rafter and crhSMing to
pieces a few boards, but doing no further
injury. barn was well filled with
hay and grain, and It seems singular that
it should have so nearly escaped entire de*
structlon. •
Rebuilding.—lt will be remembered
that some time ago the western end of
the warehouse of Lawton & Co., gave
way from the heavy press of grain
against the walls. A temporary eml was
at ouco thrown up which has been re
moved and a substantial brick wall id
now being constructed on the old foiuufa.-
tion. It is not likely this will fall so
easily as the lirst one as it will bo well
secured in every possible manner.
Tiik Bubble of Affection Bursts.
—One day lust week a resident of the
“Row” had a love-spat with his affec
tionate wife, in Which she attempted to
drive the Hies away from him by break
ing a chair over the happy benedict’s
head and face. His right eye was con
siderably briileed and injured, and upon
examination it was found that the sight
was entirely destroyed. Bet this bo a
warning to those contemplating matri
mony, to mind their I’s I
Harvest Hcwie.— Preparations for a
grand Harvest Home, to' he held at this
place sometime in August or September,
are now contemplated by our citizens.
The project meets with the favor of nu
merous farmers with whom wo have
conversed, and all seem agreed to con
tribute their share towards making the
day selected a joyous and happy one.—
Music cun be secured lor the occasion on
very reasonable terms, and the entire en
tertainment can be gotten up with but
little expense to, each individual, if all
will give their small portion. We hope
it may be a success and the whole com
munity have a grand old fashioned cele
button at Shippeiisburg once again.
Onoe Again—We are under many
obligations to our polished, friend of the
A’ei os for. the advice he occasionally
condescends to suggest as to the manner
in which the matter for this column
should be written, but we must again
decline making use of it. As to his
charges (which are bold enough, but
unhappily lack “the plain truth,” he
protends to have such an affection for)
on our report of the manner in which
the fourth was observed in this place
we have only to say “there is no truth
whatever” in. his assertion, and we' re-
peat . there were a number of street
lights on that day and just because the
Jfetes editor did not happen to see them
he accuses us of prevarication. No “un
just fling at the strangers who were
visiting our Borough” was intended at
all from the fact, that they were all well
behaved and remarkably orderly. That
there was no furious hand-to-hand con
flict among our people and no horrible
butchery of soldiery , we are very ready
to admit, but there was just KHiat we
said and because the News man’s eyes
were eclipsed form a too free use of the
fluid that ho imagined the writer of
these “Items” was laboring under
might be the probable cause for. his
missing them.
The imputation coming from him
that your correspondent was “under
the influence of whiskey” is not only
an attempt to throw discredit upon The
Volunteer, but also an ungentle
manly desire to lead his readers to
doubt the veracity and character of the
writer ofthese articles, apd a base fling
which should be answered by some
thing more formidable than the peri.—
Were it not so petty an attempt to ex
press mortification because The Vol
unteer is able to give the news of this
locality several daysihadvanco him, we
would reply in a less moderate manner.'
We are-above personalities, but should
he again indulge in such a false and
villainous allusion, we will .give him
truth, and probably plainer truth than,
be desires.

[COM 3IUNICATEU.]
Messr.s Editors:— Having' noticed an
article in the Journal of Mechanics
burg, attacking several of the officers m
thia county; who have been placed in
their respective positions, by the good
faith of the majority of this county, we
have selected your paper as the medium
through which to correct their errors
and answer their attacks. The mHn
lonued gentlemen call loudly- for the
boobs and acts from which the laws for
levying and collecting taxes are obtained
For the benefit of the ignorant busy
bodies, intermeddlers and vyould-be law
givers of M., also, for the benefit of the
law abiding citizens of Cumberland
county, we give us follows the several
laws: Act of General Assembly, 1844,
’page 601, Sec. 40, will e»Jightepine mind
of the enquirer on the subject or the duty
<f County Commissioners. Sect 1 41, will
show him how the collection of certain
taxes is to be enforced ; Sec. 42, will
show him that the abatement of 5 pei
cent, is allowed to the county, instead oi
the individual tux payer of state taxes-
See General laws of 1853, Act No. 104.
This law was made for Franklin county,
authorizing the county treasurer to col
iect state, taxes with abatement of 5-per
centum. Bee General laws of 1804. page
220, Act No. 210, Bee. 7. This law repeals
tue abatement made in 1853, and adds
t,he 6 per centum, if the tax is not paid
before the Ist of August of each year.—
See General laws of JSO7, Act 7UG, will
be seen to he an act Cum
berland county, so much of the Franklin
county Act, as relates to the collection
of state taxes, us U then was with abate
ment repealed. This we think sufficient
to correct the error the Elitor of the
Journal so loudly calls for correction. It
must 'he remembered by the would be
lawyers that the state of. Pennsylvania,
has nothing to do whatever with the
levying and collecting of the taxes of
Cumberland County, other than such as
is levied for state purposes on persona)
property. And it is optional with the
Commissioners to allow an abatement,
or noton county taxes. -Men possessing
the bruins and stability as most of the
enterprising citizens of M., should be
careful how they allow themselves to be
gulled aud ruled by a ring of weoklings
. who possess no bruins atult. or if any but
poorly developed. hut 100
plainly show the extent of their knowl
ege, or the amount of law they know.—
We have hut to recall several* incidents
of the past; us the hissing of a tnnuof
culture, who would deign to look upon
those who performed that shameful and
and ungenllemnuly act, or the attempted
banging of u loyal D -mocrat from York
county. Buch facta should be sufficient
to convince a peaceful community of this
riug’s usefulness,, or uoeleaauess. We
ihfSk we have said enough to awaken
the minds of peaceful men to the dangers
and turlhoila these giddy weaklings are
constantly immersing - them. Tne su«-
pUdousjof which the gentleman speaks
but forerunners of what the guilty .:
‘minded men who could suppose such an
outrage would do were tjie.v-tfp possess
the management df affair*,
and offered an opportunity to practice
.their tile suppositions. No! genilt*mi*n
come. Visit our supposed “ infernal
.machine,from which is extracted “the
corruption or secret service lund”< of the
Democratic party, and we will enlighten
your minds with regard to tuxes and
appropriations. As to the remarks made
of J. A., they are not only uncharitable,
but malignant. Aud tie smiles in devis.
ion at the gentleman’s sickly inference.

OPINION OF THE SUPREME COURT.
Judgment of the Court of. Cum
merit.ml Couulj AlUruicd.
THE DEATH PENALTY TO BE INFLICTED
The famous Schoeppo case seems to bo
finally disposed of, so fur as judicial pro
ceedings' cuu affect it.. The Supreme
Court, in banc, at Philadelphia, on Fri
day last, announced their decision affirm
ing tfie action of the Court b.elow, which
places the defendant iu the position he
was after the sentence o| the court was
pronounced. Whether sentence of
the law shall be executed now depends
entirely upon the action of Governor
Geary. The following is the opinion of
the Court in fuff :
I*AU» Sciioepi'b, Writ of Error
- flalutl/T m Krror, , | Court of Oyer
v.t. }• mid Terminer
Tljo Commonwealth, I of
Dcfcnduut in Error. J Cumberland Co,
The opinion of the Supreme Court was
,deUvered b> Aguew, j.
Upon tli© trial of an indictment for
murder or voluntary, manslaughter, the
defendant may, under the act of 31st
March, 1800, except to any decision of the
court upon a point of evidence or law.—
He may also require the Court to give an
opinion upon any ■ point submitted in
Writing to reduce the answer in writing
and file it, and the point of record. The
act then allows a writ of error but pro;
vicies that no such wiit shall be allowed
unless special application be made there
for and cause shown within thirty days
.after sentence is pronounced, to (ho Su
preme Court, if sitting iu Band or to
ajudge in vacation. This is a wise ami
salutary provision to guard the interests
of the public against unfounded wri(s of
error and all the consequences of dilatory
punishment, and at the same time to
protect the defendancaga'nst unjust con- 1
victibn. The writ must therefore he es
pecially allowed, and if the defendant fall
to* make his ujqdicution within thirty
days, or if the cause shown be iusullicleiiL j
the case is at an end under the act of 1800,
the (dlls of exception fail and thojudg- ,
ment stands for execution. 1
. In this case a special application for a
writ of error was made within thirty I
days *' to Chief Justice Thompson; who, j
after conference with Heed and Shuts- i
wood, J. J. (they concurring with him},
found no sulhclent cause to allow the
wplt’oferror, and it was therefore refused.
The prisoner's counsel then applied to
the Attorney General for hi« eminent to
u writ of error under the 33d section of
the act of 1880. This section applies to
writs of error in all cases of indictment In
the courts of quarter,sessions, and oyer
tod terminer, and does not embrace the.
cases of murder and voluntary man
slaughter especially provided iu the 57th,
58th and 59th sectious of the same act,
confining the allowance of the writ to
the Supreme Court as before stated. The
act of 1880 Is a revision of all the criminal
Jaws of the titateby a learundcominission,
headed by that emenent crßhinal lawyer.
Judge King. It cannot be supposed they
intended the several parts of the act to
conflict with each other. The limitation
to thirty days and ,to cause shown to
the court in banc or one of its judges, is
.incompatible With the issuing of a writ
of error upon the mere consent of the
Attorney General at any lime afterward.
Ihe attorney General, however, from
,nolives of humanity, and the point not
naving before u'riaeii in practice, gave
ills consent, and the wiit of error wa<
issued aqd heard before us at Philadel
phia. Bill the defendant having failed
to’ bring on his hills qC exception under
Lhe 5911 i section of the act ot IHGO, it be
came evident that the writ of error then
Drought befoie us brought up nothing
out the common law record, in which it
was not pietehded there was any error
The Judgment ofthn Court ot Oyer ai
'fcsrixiiner was of course affirmed. Thus
he case imased into final judgment for
ihe affirmance; being, by the higheat
court iii the State there could be uo writ
of error to it. This judgment being
rendered, the record was remitted fo the
-■ourt below ou the 14ui day of February,
1870. '
On the loth of February, 1870, a Jaw
was passed allowing writs of error in
cases of murder and voluntary munslaug
ter as a matter of right, without u speclu
application under the aet of 1800. The
case of Paul IScboeppe having been de
cided before the passage of the act, he
mis obtained e secmid writ of error from
me prothonotury, claiming it as a matter
»f right under-the late act, and this writ
is no,w before us. Tl\e Commonwealth,
relying on the judgment of ullirmunce
under the former writ, has pleaded, that
judgment* in bar of this writ. The act of
iB7O applies only to future writs of error
and to,those pending in tins court when
Lite law 'was passed. Final judgment
having been rendered, and the record re
mitted on the 14tb of February, the case
was not pending .before us on the 15ih,
when the law was passed. The plea in
uup must therefore prevail. The defend
ant's counsel perceiving this unavoidable
result', has moved us to open the judg
ment of alllrmunce, given in the former
wpit of error, in the hope, that we may,
•m opening it, treat the case as a writ
pending at the passage of the law. in
tending then to apply to it, the provisions
•»f the act of 1870. This motion is also
beiore us and involves two questions, one
upon the power of. the court to open the
lormer judgment after the term had ex
pired, and the other upon the the appli
cability of the act of 1870 to the case if
the judgment should be opened.
II is not necessary to decide the ques
tion of power, but it is opposed by au
thority and some strong reasons. The
Commonwealth vs. Mu Joy, 7, P. F.
Smith, decided against the exercise of this
power by the Courts of Quarter Suasions
anu Oyer and Terminer, after the expiru
of the term, notwithstanding a rule has
been entered to show cadle against the
-»entunce. The same reasons therein
given would seem' to apply as well to
this court. The fact that' we act as a
court of review to correct the errors of
lower courts does not seem to justify a
reviaiotuof our own final judgments.—
The law requires an end of litigation,
Mini admitting the power, litigation may
never come to an end ; for the same pow
er will enable us to renew the judgment
■of review, and so on loiics quolics, The
English authorities are against the pow
er, ami there appears to be no good reason
for its exerciso'in tins State that does not
<ycist elsewhere. The porter being ad
mitted after the first term Ifas passed,
(here is no limitation of time, and the
doors of prisons and penitentiaries may
lie opened at any time before sentence is
finally executed Tin's clearly would be
an Inlringemeut of the pardoning power
in our case as much as it could be uilimi
ed of me judges of the Inferior courts.—
In times of high excitement a change of
judges .would often be the signal lor a
change in judgments upon cases exciting
the popular mind. But grunting the
existence o/.tbe power, for we do not de
cide It at tbla'lnne, it is very clear It can
lie exercised by us only where we have
made u mistake or committed an error
which justice requires us to rectify. Ju
dicial discretion is not the pleasure of the
court, nor the arbitrary result of our will,
hut in goverened by sound judgment
Jpunded on good reason aud controlled
"by u ouiscieiitious conviction of right.—
In this case there has been no mistake
made, no error which bur sense ol Justice
calls upon us to conect. It cannot be
preb mied that our judgment on the
former writ of error was incorrect. We
are now as lirmiy of opinion as then,
that (he defendant had his day under
the net of 1860, and no remedy remained
to him under that act* Wo are now. as
iirmly of the opinion us then, that the
writof error consented to by the Attorney
General was iinprovidentiy Issued, and
brought up with it nothing but the com
mon law record. If, therefore, we should
now open tlie judgment in timt case, it
would be an uctof questionable power in
Die first place, and one of mere sympa
thy iu the second; and not the exercise
of a sound judicial discretion.
- But should wo permit sympathy to
override j udgmeut how Is the ,defendant's
situation bettered. Thb former writ of
error was unt ponding ut the passage of
the net of 1870 and therefore not then
within its terms. If not then within the
law, nothing bill another law can plaeu
It there.. Ours is not the power of legis
lation, and the uiomput wo determine
Judicially, os wo must, that the case was
not within the law, no act of ours, or tif
fed of ours can bring it within the la\|v.
If not then pending the fact of opening
the judgment and making it a writ now
pending Joes not draw it within the folds
of the law by any retro-operation of ours ;
but we are merely sent back to the case
us it stood when final judgment was ren
dered belore the presage of the law Wo
can have before us nothing but what we
then hud before us, and that was the
common law rcqord* If wo open it to
consider It anew, we consider it not by
force of the act of 1870, for that did not
embrace it. but by force only of our Judi
cial discretion, which can remit us oniy
to that which we passed upon before, in
order to consider it again,
, Having then no ground of error or mis
take in .our former judgment, the act of
18.70 having no application* and the de
fendant being in no belter position by
the opening of the judgment, we .are
compelled to decline opening U.
It is. nut improper before doing so to
say a few words in reference to the acfof
1870, to draw attention .to some of its de
fects and to, the radical change in our
criminal jurisprudence* it will produce.—
It was passed for this case, but owing to
the Governor's veto it came too late. It
is another evidence that laws which are
the offspring of feeling are seldom widely
framed. It commands this court to re
view the evidence and (o determine
whether the ingredients to constitute,
murder in the ilrat degree were proved to
exist, and yet in forgetfulness of the for--
mer law it- provides no means to take
preserve and bring up the evidence. This
ttie first attempt to act under it proves its
inelllciency, the judge -
pur certiorari that lie was*not able'to
makp the return. He is not bound by
iaw to take the testimony or to certify to
it. A bill of exception Drinks up only so
much of the evidence as may be required
to explain ttie point of Jaw contained in 1
lit* bill.
The effects of this law seem not to
have excited attention. It has changed
tile whole doctrine of the criminal law
as to the speed and certainty of punish
ment, and left to the felon both the hope
and a door of escape, not only from tlie
taw's delay but by prison breach, and all
the various means of avoiding retributive
justice. At this moment two cases occur
to ray memory of Convictions ol rtnmler
in Allegheny county, delayed by dilatory
motions, where the prison doors opened
by unknown means and the prisoners es
caped, forever. ‘ • Any murderer may,
under this law—though like Pfobst he
may have murdered a whole family—take
out his writof error, without limitation
of time or condition, whether in prison
under sentence or stepping upon the trap
of the gallows, with cause or without it,
and suspemljjis case until the next term
of the cJupreiile Churl. No one could
condemn, him, if, the death- warrant not
preventing, he should wait till the term
if trie Supreme Court be passed, and thei
take out this writ of error to delay the
execution of his sentence lor a whole
year. That only security to the public,
the examination of the cascand allowance
of the writ, lor cause, is’repeulej. To us,
as judges, it makes no dlllorence, for to
us it is immaterial whether we have civil
or criminal cases. Indeed, it is more
easy to decide on the . merits of .the evi
dence in a criminal case than upon a
dillicuit and abstruse question of law in a
complicated civil case.
The motion to open the judgment in
the former writ of error is refused, and
this writ of our own judgment is given
for the Commonwealth on the plea of
lormer judgment, and the record is
ordered to be remitted.
