' JUDOS OF THE Bl'PRKMB COURT,
HON. GEORGE SHARSWOOD,
op rninniLrnu.

It is rumored that (ion. Konsseau,
lata member of Congress from Ken
tucky, but now of the TJ. S. Army,
will succeed Goo. Sickles in Military
District No. 2.
A gang of seven State robbers have
been arrested at llarriuburc for plun-
Vdering th State Library of books,
and' tho Departments of a largo
amount of stationery.
Rather cool businoss this season of
the year, for Democratic paperi, to
publish the prospectus of Forney's
Pros rather a sharp eye to business,
which it may be, but it augurs no good
to Democracy.
lion. Lewis 1). Cumpboll, of Ohio,
TJ. S. "Minister to Mexico, has resign
ed that position The President at
once tendered it to Goo. Stoedman who
refuses to accept.
One of the loyal journals, feoling its
weight, exclaim "simplify taxation."
We think it is nimple enough, as it
takes just about the one tenth annu
ally, which amounts to mild ocn fisca
tioD in a period of ten years.
Horace Davis and Jefferson Greeley
ware both enjoying good health when
last beard from. The former is rusti
cating in the Kingdom of Canada,
and the latter in New York, writing
philosophy for the benefit of his breth
ren of the "blockhead' persuasion.
Dfad. Hon. Isaac Newton, Com
missioner of Agriculture, died at
"Washington on the 13th in6t. The
resident had removed him three
times during the past year, the de
mand being nearly nniverail, but the
liump always rejected the appointees.
"We presume they will row condemn
Fiovidence fur interfering with their
programme.
Tho hero of Vienna and masked
battery exterminator, Gen. Si.hcr.ek,
chairman of the Bliick .Republican
Executive Committco, has issued his
proclamation convening Congress on
tho 1st of July. Wo wonder if he
thinks he is President? If he suc
ceeds no better in this new field than
ho did beyond the Potomac, nobody
will bo hurt only those under bis
command.
The Prcsidont his pardoned the
Confederate General Longstrect, and
thus restored him to full citizenship.
The loyalists have lately fallen very
much in love with this "red handed
rebel and traitor, fit only for tho gal
lows," as they glibly expressed it, bo
bocause he abuses the "copporhcads."
There is no gonuine traitor in this
country from Weodcll Phillipsdown,
bnt doe this same thing North and
South.
. Gone to "tui Hub." President
Johnson, with a party of ladies and
gentlemon, left Washington on tho
21nt, proceeding via Baltimoro, Phila
delphia and Now York, to Boston, for
the purpose of dedicating a Masonic
Temple. Tho Presidential party was
properly received at every city and
village along the routo, except at our
own loyal Philadelphia. As that city
is controlled by blackguards, nothing
bettor could liavo been expected. A
negro stands between them and tho
Chief Executive of tho Nation.
In Trouble. Poor Mexico is still
upside down. Tho mongrels cannot
govern thomeelves, much less a State.
Tho late arrivals from Vera Cruz
bring the intelligence that Santa Anna
recently landed In that city, but was
prevailed upon by the representatives
of tho Lotted States to return. An
other report says that after his return
from Vera Cruz his vessel was over
hauled by Liberal gunboats, he him
self captured, and sentenced to be
shot. A similar fate has been award
ed to Max. and a number of the Im
perial officers. What will really hap
pen no one knows yet
The Surratt trial is still progressing
at a snails pace. Somo of tho wit
nesses are swearing and performing
Handsomely, cqmil to trained veterans
Tho case aiid the evidence has evi
dontly been prepared Jn the "bureau
of military justice." The tracks ol
Holt and Stanton are as plain in the
Court room as In their Jacobin chain
bcrs, but as tho judges were not
train od In tho bureau aforesaid, and
are by education gentlemon, Surratt
may nevertheless get a fair trial, so
far aa they are concerned; but the
testimony has been prepared for the
,-maiket, just as any other wares are,
and when the trial is over the truth
rU, fear, Hill remain undaveloj.ed.
TU JYiflMffry ot (tnrl.
We are well award that Courts and
Juries have rights and opinions that
must be respected ; so, also, have pri
vnte individuals. That which we
concede to tho former we claim for
tho latter, and each in its sphere is
necessary for the proper protection of
both. Ilenco wo intend to filo an
objection, or t:iko exception, to an
act done- by tho Honorable Court on
Saturday last.
A whito man was sentenced to the
Penitentiary for ono yoar for obtain
ing the sum of 5'-0 under false pre
tences and for following the calling
of a "gay deceiver," of which crime
we are entirely ignorant, and of course
io not pretend to dctui! !h? fiict', but
may find some ono to do so if we are
at fault. On tho other hnnd, a largo
fut negro was sent to jail for eight
months for having taken a razor and
with it well nigh caused tho death of
another "nig," by cutting him about
the head and neck. The inequality
of the sentenco is what we object to,
but presume the equilibrium of the
Court and the ends of juslico will not
be impeded by our veto, but, liko
those of President Johnson, will full
stillborn, while the "machine" is pro
polled by another power. As the
murderous attack was made by a
negro upon a negro, tho Court may
have very properly lowered the stand
ard of justice in accordance with the
position tho race occupies in society
We confess to be a little jealous upon
this point, because the "intelligent
contrabands" have of late boon so
highly favored in this county, in a
"bread and butter" way, that we fear
the disease may spread in a legal
way, too. If color is to bo tho test,
the law must be changed accordingly,
so that the two races may enter the
templo of justice understandingly,
and by well defined metes and bounds.
Col. Foster, the loyal Collector of
the Port of Wilmington, N. C, has
been arrested lor cmbczzeling the
government funds. Wo presumo it
has bceu spent in the ir.tcrest of tho
Bureau, a philanthropic enterprise for
the manufacture of mulatlocs, Anglo
African Amoricnnoes. In loyal ethics,
this of course is no crime.
Dtgtntraty.
The degeneracy of the times, caus
ed by Republican rnlo, is obvious in
whatever direction wo turn in our
Cabinet officers, in Congress, in our
Legislatures, Governors, Judges, Em
Duttsnaors, &c. 11 is strikingly mani
fest in the Grand Juries by which
Aaron Burr and JuflVnton Davis, re
spectfully, were indicted. When Burr
was tried, and tho country was under
Democratic rulo, Federal Grand Juries
were composed ofm(n picked for Inch
character und intelligence cx-Scna-
tors; Judges, ic. ; who had won and
preserved public respect and admira
tion. VI the Jury that indicted Burr
tho illustrious John Kundolph, of Ito
anoko, was foreman. Contrast that
Jury for there can bo no comparison
witn that wbicti indicted air. Davis ;
a Jury made tip of scalliwags and vag
abonds, picked up in the purlieus,
haunts of vico and crimo, in Northern
cities 1 As we remarked, this is but
one instance of a degeneracy which is
universal. Murderers, such as Jim
Lane; blasphemers, such as Ben Wade:
drunken brutes, sueli as Chandler ; and
simpering idiots, such as Spragno, now
congregate in a Scnato where once
were gathered in august assemblage
such men as Clay, Webster, Wright,
Calhoun, Benton, and others, whoso
names, "laminar in our mouths us
household words," sadly suggest tho
lino :
Oods bow ths sent drgrorrate from the lire. !''
But this is only broaching a tonic
which would renuiro columns fur its
full exemplification. Even that Juflgo
in whoso misnamed Court Mr. Davis
is indicted never read so much as one
law book, and is equally ignorant and
innocent of the more ordinary knowl
edge ol intelligent men I "Ago, thou
art ashamed !" Of course, any country
whose biglicst oilieiul places aro tilled
h)' such men as tho republicans have
put in power will drive headlong to
in. juarwn jirmocrai.
Tat Latkht Fashions. Sinco the
invention and successful introduction
of tho Celebrated Duplex Elliptic (or
doublo) Spring Skirt, by J. W. Brad
ley, oi icw lork, tho Indies through
out tho country havo given up tho idea
of discarding the fashion of wearing
noop skirls on account of the peculiar
and graceful manner in which the Du
plex Bkirta adapt themselves to every
exigency and emergency. So gener
ally acceptable have these Skirts be
come that tho ladies regard them as a
special favorite, in view of tho superi
or flexibility, tightness and durability
combined in their Manufacture. They
aisu ooraiuer mem a lar moro econom
ical and comfortable Hoop Skirt than
ever has or can be made for crowded
assemblies, for tho Promenade or
House Dress. Any lady after wear
ing ono oi ineso Skirts, will never af
terwards willingly disponse with their
use. Long experience in the manufac
ture of Hoop Skirts, has proven to the
proprietorof thieinvention, that Single
Springs will alwayo retain that stiff,
unyielding and bungling stylo which
has ever characterized them, whereas
the Double Spring Hoop or Duplex
Klliptie, will bo found free from these
objections. Notwithstanding thoabili
tyofthemnniifueturors, Messrs. Wests,
Bradley and (,'ary, to turn out over six
thousand Skirts per day Jfrom their
largo manufactories in Sow York, they
feel obliged to request all merchants
ordering the Duplex Klliptio Skirts, to
send their orders a low days before
they aro wanted, ir possible, m they
are most constantly oversold some
davs ahead.

In obedience to the requirement of
ftulo 4lh for conducting tho Primary

with the Democracy at tho preceding
general election, or shall be of known
Democratic standing, and no candi
date shall be placed upon the return

COMMITTEE Or VIGILANCE.
In accordance with tho rules gov
erning the Democratic party of Clear
field county, the County Committo
have solocted and appointed tho fol
lowing named gentlemen to act as a
Committee of Vigilance, for the re
spective boroughs und townships, tho
ensuing year. Until last year tho
committee consisted of but three per
sons, and it has often been demon
strated that through causes impossi
bio to control, a majority of this num
her could not always be present, to
uischargo the duties enjoined upon
them, and thus tho duty of holding
tho Primary Election devolved upon
inoso not designated. 1 lie County
Committee deeming it no violation of
our rules, havo enlarged tho commit
tco, selected seven persons in the largo I
districts, and live in the small. They
would suggest tho propriety of these
committees to hold a meeting a few
days previous to the day of tho elec
tion, and scloct and designalo threo
of their number to attend and hold
said election, and at the same '.imo
appoint tho return judge, so that
each may understand his duty, when
the time of action arrives It is hoped
that all will tnko a lively interest in
maintaining and upholding tho rules
and organization of the only party
that has, and will, govern this coun
try nccording to tho Constitution, and
tho laws enacted in harmony there
with, and thereby restore Union and
prosperity to our distracted country:

The Stnltiifc.
Lena Miller.who has been convicted
and confined in our Jiiil for homo lime
past for poisoning her husband, was
brought into Court on Saturday morn
ing last, for tho purpose of receiving
her sentence. After being requested
to stand up, his Honor Judgn Linn
proceeded to fulfill the demands of
tho law,aB follows, viz. :
ConnofwriLTU Ho the Oyer and Terminer of
v. Cliartkld county,
l.m Mn.La. J Indictnunt, Murder.
Motion fur a new trial, and in arrest of
jutamcnt.
Tho determination of this motion has
been postponed from timo to time, fur
several reasons: first, because of tho al
leged pregnancy nfthcdofuiiduntai the
timo the verdict wus rendered, which
has turned out. In tin n mistake : und
nflt-rwards it was further postponed,
ut the instance of tho prisoner, because
a bill hud been introduced into the
Legislature, which provided for con
ferring upon tho Governor the power
to commute tho death penalty to im
prisonment. Under such circum
stances, we doomed it humane to post pone
our decision until it should be
known whothcr the bill al'orcsnid
would becomo a law, and thus allow i
the defendant the oportunity of
availing herself. of its provisions, if it
should puss fitfully and bo approved.
Tho ucl did puss both houses of the
Legislature, but w huve recently re
ceived ofliciul notice that it will not
be approved by thi Governor j so thut
now there remains no rouson or ex
cuse fur further postponement, and
tho timo has therefore arrived when
tho solemn duty devolves upon us of
determining whether thero is or is not
ground for granting the defendant's
motion,
We will dispose of the several rea
sons proposed for a new trial und in
urrest of judgment in tho order in
which they oecur in the motion filed.
They are us follows :
First. That the Court erred in their
charge to the jury in giving them
positive directions in regurd to the
degree of murder which they must
find, and ulso in other directions given.
We have carefully reviewed our
charge iu the light of tho very able and
eurnest argument of the counsel for the
firUoner, and regret to say that we
lavo been unublu to discern any
error. We still think, as we did upon
the trial, thut in cases of murdor by
poison, tho jury must either find the
defendunt guilty of murder in the first
degree, or render a verdict of acquit
tal, and that it is the duty of the Court
so to instruct the jury. It affords us
great relief, however, to know that if
wo have committed tho error alleged
in this reason, it is so palpublo and so
broadly stated in tho language used
in tho charge, thut tho prisoner will
havo no duliculty in reversing our
judgment in the Supreme Court. In
a case of this character, wo shall cer
tainly not feel disobliged by such a
a reversal.
Second. There were improper asso
ciates and interference w ith tho jury
on tho part ol the persons having them
in charge, and on the purt of others,
so as seriously to inU'iA-ru with the
jury in their deliberations as jurors
and the discharge ot tlieir duty.
1 hero has teen no evnlonco offered
in support of this allegation' and wo
therefore passu ly without particular
remark.
27ii'rJ. Tho evidenco at tho trial
was all consistent with the iniioccuco
of tho defendant, and fell short of
what is required in such cases to secure
a conviction of murder in the first de
gree. According to tho views we entertain
of tho law applicublo to this case, if
the defendunt can bo convicted at all,
it must bo of the crime of murder in
tho first degree, and wtf aro far from
agreeing with tho statement made in
the reason, that tho evidence full
short of what is required in such cases
to secure a convietion of murder in
tho firt degree ; on the contrary, after
having listened to tho entire body of
the evii1cr.ee, it seemed to us that the
human mind could scarcely resist tho
conviction that iho delmidnnt is guilty
ot tho enmo alleged in the indictment,
As to tho fourth, tilth, sixth and
seventh reasons assigned, thero was
no evidenco offered in their support ;
and we therefore dismiss them without
particular remark.
Eiahlh. The jury were improperly
allowed to havo communication and
acclurulion mncio Dy a witness, in
tended for tho Courtulono, to tho
effect that the defendant had admit
ted she wus guilt', or said she was
guilty, and that the declaration
was reported at the time by the
counsel for the Commonwealth, and
wus, with other declarations thus
mado, of such a diameter as to im
press tho jury and influence them in
milking up their verdict, and did so
influence them.
This refers to certain atatoments
made inadvertantly by a witness,
named Win. McCaity Thompson, and
which it is alleged had an improper
and injurious intluenco upon tho pris
oner's defense. When this witness
wns first culled, he proceeded to rclnto
certain fads which wero clearly evi
dence, and to which no objections
wero mado.
The Conimonwonllh then intro
duced a written offer, proposing to
provo by this witness certain confes
sions made to him whilst he was con
veying her to jail. This otTor was
objected to by counsel for the prisoner,
and the Court thereupon proceeded to
henr evidence as to whether tho con
fessions wero voluntary and kucIi as
could be received according to tho
rules of law applicable to confessions.
In the course ot this examination, al
though tho witness was instructed by
the Court as to what ho should or
should not rclnto, perhaps ignor
anlly, stated In his evidenco to the
Court, part of tho alleged confessions
mentioned in the offer j and this the
prisoner complains of, and alleges has
a ground for a new trial.
We have most thoroughly and cau
tiously considered this reason, and
have examined it with Hut degree of
care which the solemnity of the inter
csls involved in this case imperatively
demands; and after a full considera
tion of nil the facte and the arguments
of counsel, we are constrained to aay,
notwithstanding the life of the pris
poor i at iteke, w do not dpem thi
a valid ronsoii fur granting a new trial
in this ciise.
Immediately after the expressions i
hud bc;i Uncle tl .it lire eumnhiiiu'd
of, o tonk eeii-duii to explain to tli
jury, in a full and explicit Itiunner, that
they wero not to regard tho evidence
tillered to tho Court lor the purpose of
determining whether the oiler irade
was admissible, but that they must
carefully exclude it from their con
sideration. This explanation and di
rection was, as we t!iinlc,so full, clear
and explicit, that we cannot presume
Unit, uny jury, mileh less a jury coin
posed ot twclvo as intelligent, upright
men as wore impiinneled in this case,
eotua mistake our directions. Jt is.
fair to presume, on tho contrary, thut
those instructions wore duly regarded,
even though this bo n cupitul caso.
These instructions woro, by wuy of
caution, again repeated in car iburgs
to the jury ; and wo, moreover, took
occasion to say to them emphatically,
thut if they believe the witnesses who
testily as to tho churacter of McCart
ney for truth, it would bo their duty
to disregard his testimony in tola.
With all these cautions and aiifeguurd,
wo cannot believe thut any injury was
dono to the defendant ly the inadvcr-
tant expression mado use of by this
witness in his evidence to the Court,
nuowi til I V nu iv A WMrMnl 1 1n'. rvrlirirA
in the cause, independent of anything
.J. J . . . -
this witness said, sutllciciit to produce
strong conviction ol tlio prisoners
guilt.
Jlappy indeed would we liavo teen
to have our minds led to the convic
tion that any of thene reasons, taken
separately, or all of them taken to
gether, would be sufficient to warrant
us in granting a new trial to tho un
fortunate defendant constantly with
our conscientious convictions of duty.
lint, alas, our minds are forced to the
conviction that they are insufficient,
and we aro thus compelled to over
rule the motion.
The motion for a new trial is over
ruled, and the motion in arrest of
judgment is discharged ; and judg
ment is ordered to ho entered for the
Commonwealth on the verdict.
Whereupon tho Court proceeded to
pass judgment, as follows:
It is considered and adjudged by
the Court, that Iycna Miller, the pris
oner at tho bar, ho taken from hence
to tho jail of tho county of Clearfield,
from whenco she caino, and Irom
thence to the place of execution, and
that she be there hanged by tho neck
until she is dead.
She remained standing during the
delivery of tho sentence, and received
it probably moro coolly than her mar
riage ceremony, manifesting neither
joy nor griel, but a stoical indiffer
ence that was truly amazing. Every
person in the Court room seemed af
fected except tho culprit herself. On
being remanded to prison, her counsel
at ouco mado a motion, which whs
entertained by tho Court, lor a writ
of error to romovo tho caso to tho Su
premo Court. This will occupy at
least six months' timo. tVhut tho re
snll will be, no ono can tell ; perhaps
a new trial will be granted.
