THE "LOYALTY" OF JUDGE BLACK.
One year ngo tins month, Edwin
M. Slnnlon tliuJ, nnd rccuived that
tliriHtion burial which bo had made
merit ofdonyinrj to otli ors both men
and women arhora lie had caused lo
he (tranglod by tbo bands of military
assassins, and smngglcd into unknown
graves. 11 is later career had bricfl a
stormy one, for tbo most part, in open
defiance of the lairs of the land, and
filled with ninny deeds of tvrannv.
and many deeds ol treachery. But
the bolter part of the public who had
been abased by bis insolence and out
raged by his crimes, wcro willing to
commit his body to tbe earth in do
corus silence, nnd leave his questiona
ble character "to men's charitable
speeches." This, however, was not lo
bo.. Itubcspierre had Jriondi Bur
rere had admirers; Judns Iscnriot has
found a defender, nnd evon Stanton
had euloginU. They wore of the clans
who hud profited by his treacheries,
and loved him for his banencss. It
was fit tlmt they should laud him for
infamies, and natural that they
should sock to appenso his shade by
defaming thoso whom ho hud most in
humunlv wronged.
41 r. Hour, then ntlorney general of
mo ur.uca siutes, begun I bo liuxiiieu.
lie mado an oration in tho Supremo
Court, which was in no proper sonso
a euiugy upon nianion, Dut was irom
beginning to end a libel upon other
and better men. Tho substance of it
was that, In iho "hour of national
agony, Mnnlon being n member of
liitthannn's cnbinct. bad saved the
Union singlo-handed, and in doing so
uaa pasou inrouL'li norils at Iho hnnds
of Ins disloyal associates and their
chief. I he nest morning Judgo Blnck
addressed Mr. Hoar a public letter,
telling him that tho story retailed
tho duy before was utterly false, and
desiring him to produce tbo eri-
denco upon which it was founded, if
any ho had. Mr. Hoar sought dilli
gently fur tho evidence j ho wrolo
numerous und pressing letters to"loy.
al" men liko Senator Howard, who
had been repeating and magnifying
the foul lie for years together, but af
tor tho most painful search, stimulat
ed by tho shaino of being branded as
a libeller, be failed to raka together
anything that In tho remotest detrrce
supported his pnblicstalemcnls. Then
Mr. Hoar, being half honest, albeit
thick headed nnd "loyal," gave up his
cnlerpriso in dingtiat, nnd left to oth
ers Iho tank of defuming Buchanan's
cabinet.
Tho ''loyal" wcro now In evil caso;
tho regular attorney had thrown up
his brief, and precious culumny that
tin J dono Ihcm good service through
ten long yonrs was about to dio for
want of one fulno witness. In this
dirts extremity Senator Wilson, as
loynl and as frothy us Hoar, but with
nono of his old fashioned scruples, un
dertook to lufiiso now life into tho
worn out slander, and muko it as per
viccablo as ever. Ho called to bis uid
various senators and ot her parly backs,
and clothing tho old story in a com
nnrulively now dress, decorated with
sundry brilliant inventions of his own,
lie runlied w ith it Into the pages of the
Atlantic Monthly. An answer from
Judgo Black, showing how Wilson
was unwittingly blackening Stanton's
character, and making him a hypo
crit and a criininnl, whilo the con
duct of Mr. Buchanan and his cabi
net shone brighter and fairer with
every word of discOBaion, overwhelmed
lii in with alimiie nnd covered him with
confusion. Whereupon poor Wilson.
borrowed tho old loiters which Hoar
had gathered in his vain buldvsporale
attempt to revive tho snme colnmny,
nnd calling in tbo help of Sumner,
Howard, jiawes, hewsrd, and a dor.cn
or so moro, lie cot up an awkward
document, or siring of documents,
which, for want of something bettor,
ho was compelled to print in reply.
In the previous nrticlo in the Atlantic
ho had appeared nlonc, like Slnnlon
in JiiKlintiBn's cabinet a single, lorn
loyaliht: but here ho was sjmin w llh
eighteen or twenty more, worso Ihnn
tiinisell. ithodt this company, per-
imp nil-ton wotliu linvo teen on.
worthy of furthor notico. Ho stood
before tho world imputing thirty yenrs
of tinpntalleled treachery lo tho' man
w hom ho piofi-ssed lo honor, and even
naming tho particular acts of bnscncM
which rMnblishcd bin character in
coiitoslnlily ns a false friond, a double
and treblo renegade, a conspirator
against the fame, yen, tho very lives
of the fondost benefactors a coarse,
vulgnr rogue,' a spy, a tattler, and a
ruftinn. Unhappily for Wilson, ho
easily proven iiial Munlon
was each
nnd all of these, and thus destroyed i
tho credibility of the only witness" by
whom ho could sustain iho weak ac
cusation he hsd fabricated ngainsl the
i.'uchnnan Administration. This es
say, formiduble only in Its frightful
array of tbe proofsof Stanton's guilty
duplicity, bronght out from Judge
Black, that poer of amazing grace
and power, which we published in our
issue of the 18th in.t, and which
makes it as clear historically, aa the
treason of Judas or Arooli, that
Stanton was jtisl what Wilson's wil
nesfes would make him "fi wosf

To the Editor of tlie IlrpubUcan :

10 1110 jury scorns to can toreome reply

acquittal. ..So fur from the remit
boing an acquittal. Harder was con
victcd of murder, and as a murderer
was sentenced to an imprisonment of
11 years and u months sepnrato or
solitary connnomeni in tho i'enlton
tiary. 'I Ins was within one month
of tho limit allowed by law in his
case. It is a longer sentence than
has lately been imposed by the Court
in any caso 01 the same kind.
Tbe question before tho jury was,
whether tbe crime was murder in tho
first, or in tho second decree. It is
murder In tho first degree when the
murder is irtltfiil, deliberate and rrr-
mediUitrA, uith the intent to take life.
But if. tho mind from intoxication or
any other cause, is deprived of its
powor to form a design icith deliberation
11 is muruer in tno second degree.
Accordingly when the murderer in
bis sober sciifics, with n sedate, cool
mind, plans and premeditates tho
commission of his crime, as whoro it
is done for money, it is murder in tho
first degree. On tbo other hand most
murders committed on a suddon quar
rel thotish with a deadly weapon.
under the influence of sudden passion,
provocation oroi intoxication, nrc held
to be murder in tho second degree.
In this cuso tho evidence showed
that the quarrel was sudden, occurring
dbout 5 o'clock in tho nflcrnoon, in
tho open street. Tho Defendant hnd
taken at l;;nst fourteen drinks sinco 11
o'clock ot" that duv, mid was certainly
to some extent under the influonco of
liquor; nn assault wns twico made on
him by Dalo who was n man of snpo
nor strength ; nnd whon tho second
assault was mado and Ilardor had
boon struck both by Dalo and Halo's
brother, ho used a knilo and killed
his assailant. Tho knifo had been
tnken ont of his pocket nnd carried
open in Ins pocket after tho first
assault, but in such a public manner
Hint nearly every one knew it, nnd
Dalo Iho deceased was fully informed
of iho fact; and the whole period of
timo mat elapsed between Ihc first
and second assault was only between
o nnu iu minutes.
unnor tuts siato 01 lacls the lury
found a verdict of murder in tho
second degree, nnd in regard to the
verdict we believe it wns such as wns
expected by a majority of persons nf
unbiassed judgment who heard tho
wholo trial. Bosldo this, it corre
sponds with what our Courts nnd
juries havo generally dono in liko casos
under liko ovidoiico.
In tho Morrison case tho Defendant
with very litllo provocation, stiddonly
killed Higcius, nn nnnrmcd man. witli
nn axo. The jury found him guilty
ot inuiiici- in mo second degree, and
the Court sentenced to only nbont 7
ycnrsimprisonmen in thn Penitentiary
In tho Ball case tho Defendant got a
knife and stnbbed bis victim in the
heart, causing instant death, nnd the
vordict of murder in tho first degree
was set asido by the Court, and after
wards by consent, tho Defondnnt
allowed to plead guilty of murder in
tho second degrco, and then the sen
tence of the Court wns considerably
less thnn in Iho case of Harder. Yet
in neither of those cases did We heap
nny word of complnint from tho Editor
or the lirpubltcan ntrninst Court or
jury, or anybody olso.
In tho well known enseof Lawrence
Ullman, Judgo Woodward set nside
tbo verdict of murder in the first
degree, nnd afterwards allowed a plen
of guilty of mnrder in the second
deijreo. Tho Defendant was then
sentenced the full extent allowod by
law.
llockenberry who shot Thompson
publicly at Lumber City, in this
county, somo years ngn, wns con
victed only of mnrder in tho second
degree. His sentence was only about
4 yenrs in tbo Ponitontiary, and I
think ho was pardoned ont before bis
term expired.
Bofuro a man can bo convicted of
murder in tho first degroo the law
requires that every clement of tho
offence bo proved beyond nil reasona
ble doubt to Iho satisfaction of each
juror. Our records show thnt both
judges snd jurors Lnvo been careful
not lo consent to snth a verdict and
judgment while any such doubt re.
nmined. And tho judges linvo been
quito as lender nnd rarefiU on this
point ns tho jurors.
Why then, Mr. Kditor, sinclo out
