' Ti,n Phtimlnlnhln ex-nellccmnn, who w,mummnrlly convicted the ether day Of complicity In the Kensington bank ' robbery of leu years age, en the testi mony of the oclegonarlnn witness who waa then ene of the vrntchmeu, has beer ftcnulttcd ntn new trial which was Riven him. It was shown that the old witness had identified various policemen ns of the robbers, and it was clear enough that his memory was very unreliable, and the probability was that he was cracked." The assistant district at torney, who had drawn up the Indict Indict ment against the man years nge,tcstlflcd that it was only dene ns a matter of pre caution and that the testimony of the old watchman was net then credited. The case shown very rcmiukable de ficiencies in Philadelphia methods of mlmlnlflterlnir Justice, and proeauiy thore Is equal carelessness eisewuerc. The fact is that n man who was entirely Innocent was convicted of robbing a hnnif niiinv vrnra nrovieus, and that the ovldence was entirely Insufficient. The judge neglected his duty in permitting the verdict upon such evidence. The district attorney violated his duty in asking for it. The prisoner was given no counsel because he desired none; he was willing te go te the jail from which he had just been released because, us he said, it waa the best place for him, since he had no money and no friends. It seems that a man who wants te be convicted Is very readily nccomme dated; negligent Judges and careless district attorneys nre ready te make the read very easy. This mau should Imve been tried en the indictments as seen as they were found against him, te have justice prop erly done. Rut when they were found ha wa3 already In jail under sentence for another offense. The law strangely prevents the trial of a prisoner who Is under sentence. That law seems te need amendment sorely. There is no geed reason te be alleged why a convict should net be tried as well during the tsrm or his sentence as afterwards. It i3 nensense te ray tlmt )'s testimony would be of worse quality whlle his sentence was running. Te pigeon hele an indictment awaiting tlie termination of a long term uf imprison' ment is shown by this case te be wrong, ami the slightest attention te the sub ject only la required te make it clear that the law needs amendment which postpones a trial until the witnessed are scattered aud the evidence forgotten. A statutu of limitations should run ajyafnet indicted as well ns unindicted offenses ; and judges nnd district attor neys should understand that it Is their duly le detect innocence as well as guilt, and that the state does net pro pose te support men in ita penitentiaries wee .wk them as houses of refuge, and da net regard them as places of punish, ment. m m Tier, time is nearly at hand again for the yearly meeting of the beard of county auditors, aud yet the labors of this body for last year have never been furnished nor their report made. How ever geed their intentions and te some degree healthful the work dene by the present beard, the beneficial results of it are ulme3tcntirelyl03tbythe lengdrawn out and tedious system of investigations which the beard engaged in ; and the public lins very naturally ceme te regard them as a farc. Moreover, the sur charges by the beard two years age against derelict county commissioners, havonever been pressed in the court ; commissienersand county solicitors ceine and go, but the legal assertion of the county's rights is never made, and its delinquent officials escipa responsibility. There are seme items in thu county statement of the past year which deserve special attention, netnbly the allowance by the court of pay te court house eill cars for arranging the records and papers of their offices which It is the court's duty at the end of every official's term te see are in geed order ; but we des pair of the present beard of auditors ever getting through with the business ul- ready en hand, and even the surcharges seem te be idle when the proper author! ties de net press them te judgment All the mero, however, Is the necessity plain of the people in this j ear of grace exer elslng the greatest care In the selection of county commissioners and auditors TimOhioDemecraticLegisl'ituiohave nominated Pay ,,r senator in place of Pendleton, ancy Imve done wrong in the Judgment of their fellow Demuciats in the country, who will accept the opinion of Judge Thurman naef meie weight limn the decision of the legislat ors. Mr. Pay no was presented by his sons, ene of whom Is tliu head of the Standard oil company. Anether supporter was Mr. Bookwalter, manufacturer of water wheels, who lias achieved a place in Ohie politics by pecuniary expenditure. The third backer was McLean, of the Cincinnati Jiuqitirer, which is a constant thorn in the Demccmtlc flesh by miseu of Its wilds wanderings from decent paths. Mr. Payne is a very respectable old gentleman, and of quite sufficient ability te adorn the Senate. Having roaehedthreo ecore and ten years, and being blessed with great wealth, he will Imve every Inducement te mike a geed senatorial record. But the demon- fltratlen that the party iu Ohie gives tlmt it lina fallen miner the dominion of a disreputable element, is net pleasant te Democrats outside of Ohie. Still, we remember that it is Ohie, and that mod ifies the impression considerably, slnce we nre se accustomed te Ohie wayward nese and fully. w mm i Mit. Lucius Roekiis, a local pellll clan of the regulation Cameren type, nnd who has done geed service te theHtal wart faction of his party in this state, has returned te the editorial management of the McKean county Miner, nnd Bim ultuneeiuly that journal dlscovera that Dan Cameren will net boa candidate for reelection, and that Jehn Stewnrt would admirably fit iu that place. "Will you walk Inte my parlor, said the spider te the fly," It may, upon u superficial glance, seem grotesque that the Democracy of Massachusetts, with Gen. Butler at the head of the table, wero the only repre sentatives of thelr party in the country who observed the occasion, of universal celebration formerly, of "Jncksen'a Day," memorializing the character and services of Gen. Jacksen, upon the anniversary of his military victory nt New Orleans. Hut there nre few mero virile party organizations in the country than that of the Massachu Bctts Democracy. Whatever may be thought of Butler, he has rendered Im pertant scrvlce te the parly witn which he new scorns te be fully In accord, in bringing its voting strength from 100,000 up te 150,000 and in making the straight Republican majority in this former clta- del of its power no mero than 10,000, whlle the avemge natural Increase of the Democratic population in Massa chusetts is se much greater than the Republican that it is intelligently calcu lated that by 1SS3 the state will be Dem ocratic. Apart from Butler's inllucuce and organizing skill, there are brains and forceful Influences behind the Massa chusetts Democracy ; and they deserve the hearty sympathy of their brethren in ethT states when they applaud such sentiments as this, with which Butler concluded Ids speech nt their banquet yesterday ; Ly us net inquire who Is te be the stiudard bearer, but inquire where fa the standard, that we may rush te It and sus tain it In every shock of our battle. That is the duty or every patriot ; tint is the duty of every Democrat. Cemjieuce Is certainly ene of the ac tivities which should engage the atten tion of a great people with u country of beuuJIess and varied resources and the future prosperity of which must depend largely en a diversity of industrial ac tlvitit'S. It conduces net only te material pre?penty, but te the moral welfare and popular liberty. There was a time with in the easy memory of the present generation that the United States were the second maritime power in the world. The report of the transatlantic grain trade from New Yerk for last year shows that of 1,100 steamers and 100 sailing vessels which took cargoes of grain from that pert in 1SS3 only two cai . ted the Hag of the United States. An important deliverance en the ques. Hen of the tariff by Gen. A. J. Warner, of the Ohie Democratic delegation, the re puv.l author of the tariff plank iu the Ohie platierui, is glrcn en our first page today. It is a clear .statoment of the differences that exist ever this much mooted question, aud as n defensa of the prii.cipl of encouraging home industries while net festering monopolies merits cuefui perusal. Tin: reported Russian atrocities with which the piess occasionally abounds are, aic.ndiug teC'assin3 51. Clay, the vecerable ex ii) uister te St. Petersburg, a myth invented by nnti-Russian newspapera. lie declares that Russians are generous aud hospitable te a fault ; that want as aeen in Pat if, Londen and New Yerk is unknown in the land of the Muscovite ; whlle Si beria is net half se bad as painted. Per haps the thoughtful studeut, searching for truth, may tlud safe anchorage betwecn the two conflicting opiuiens. Tukhu is probably no place where a display of maudlin sontimentality is in werse taste than in the esse of a oenvictod mur ijrer. It makes the prisoner regard him-elf a martyr, and the warning te evil dxrs iutended iu the convict's publie oucutien is lest in the bibble of sickly Beutimcnt that surrounds him. We en tirely ngroe with our estoemed contempe rary, ihe Yerk Age, that tej much of this style of proeaedlngs has characterised the conduct, of the Ceylo murder case. He has been twlce tried and twice convicted at a total oxpeuse te Yerk county of $',v!09.10, in the second of which trials he was given tin rare privilege of n change of venue.

Tuesday night, whlle a boy named Avery aged 14, was ehoveling snow off n four story heuse iu Pittsburir, he fell from the reef and was se terribly maugled that his death is only a question of a few hours. About seveti o'clock in the even ing another accident happened, which may result fatally.

All the tributaries of the Chcsapoake as far down ns the mouth of the Potomac are blocked with heavy ice. Some of the steamboats which went into them ou Saturday have net yet been able te j;ct out. In the Susquehanna the ice is reported ten inches thiek. In the Chop tank navigation is ontirely obstructed, and at Cambridge oue thousand persens, empleyed in the oyster packing houses, are thrown out of employment. The suf fering of thoie employed en the nmallcr elass el vessels has been very 6evere. The harbor of Baltimore is kept open by the Ice beats, but the river and bay are frozen as far down as Sandy Point, a distance of nearly thirty miles. The heavy storm continues and may break up the ice m the bay, but will have little effect upon the riveis, which gonerallyare well protected.

It was net intended by me te press it te a vote, but simply te suggest whether we should net step nnd think of it. My effort was te suggest the thought, If It was net better te obtain results In some form than te be thrown ever without apportionment. Tlie qui stieti was asked me whether I ndviscd u. My reply was : ' I waut its consider ntun by our poeplo in the Legislature, for 1 fear we are te get no bill.' " When asked if he had advised the extra t'SMeii .Mr. Wallaee said : "I thought tl at the Legislature ought te he called tojielhei, if at all, lu January, 1SS1, for apportionment and rovenue bills tegether. 1 did net knew the day bofero the adjourn ment of the regular nosalen the succeeding day." "Hew did you ceme te protract the length of the extra session '.'" "That was the result of cireumstanccB oejeuti my control, i was placed upon the judicial apportionment committee in that bcssieu. I earnestly labored for the pifsane of a judicial bill, nud many mem bers of the Heuso said that but for my sanction that bill would net have pvsscd. When the Republicans made their ultimatum aud refused te discuss the sub. jeet of apportionment further l believed in the policy of going te the people net upon the issue of tee few congressmen or tee tow senaters, but upon the bread ground that the Republican Souate had closed Its deem ngaiust the representatives of the poeplo and nulhlicd the orderly precesscH et gov gev rmuuiit. I believed that, was a biead sstie upon which we could have wen bofero tin" poeplo, and that we would have thus cstMpcd the charge of remaining at tlarri&burg for our salaries. In the caucus of Democratic members ei both branches, held in the library about that time, I was emphatia and derided in the expression of my opinion te my brother Democrats that we erred in remaiuiug nt ilarrisburg longer; that the coctinuauce of the ses sion was n political mistake, and that we should adjourn te go te the poeplo. I said I did net go into the Heuso te elec tioneer with members, nor would I, but that I had no hesitation iu expressing my porseual views te gentlemen, as I did there emphatically. The result of that caucus was a resolution te contiuue in scssieu, and my advice was unheeded." " Why did net yiu and the gentlemen iu the Souate who acted with you exert your inilueuce iu the Heuso and get enough Demecrats te go with the Ilopub Ilepub licans te adjourn the Legislature .''' " I could net afford te be factious. If I and theso who thought as I did had taken ismie with the poliey pursued in the Heuso it would at ence have produced a divisieu. If we had succeeded in adjourning tbe Legislature it would have been chaigcd upon us that we had provout prevout proveut cd apportionment, aud abeve all, It would have fihewn te our political enemies divided councils. I did net scu the best interests of the Democratic party in continuing iu session, aud much lean in breaking its rauks by factious divisions. .My line aim that of these who aoted with me was te acquiesce in what we deemed nu unwise poliey until the course of cvents demonstrated the falsity or correctness of ou. position, and in tbe mcantime te pre terit a united front " " What have you te aay about the charge that you bargained with the Re publicans upon this biibjcet of preventing apportionment '."' " Such a charge against me is faUe aud ridiculous. Republicans always kuew whero te find me in a contest iu which the principles and success of my party are at stake. During the extra session I was se anxious for apportionment that I often talked with both aides upon tbe subject of concessions, iu order te reach results by compromise" " What have yen te say te the charge tlmt you were an opponent of the admin, istratteu of Govorner Paulsen, nnd were having a Biictit fight with Mr. Cassidy .'" ' This charge is net true ; I have had no contest with cither gentlemen, and the relations between us are pleasant. I did net nt any time in my placp in the Senate or en the stump fail te support the inoas ineas urcs of the state administration by my vete or volce whero noeossary. I differed with them in poliey.ns I did iu my opinion as te political action ; but I recognized the heucst effort et Govorner Pattison te carry out the principles of the new constitution and his right te coustitute his cabiuet an he uaw lit. Whether his action and political poliey have been in the iutoresta of tle Democratic organization it is net for me te say. In my return te the state Souate I had two purposes in view, both of which I accomplished, The first and leading oue wan the liberalization of the railroad laws of my natlve atate, te the end that foreign capital lnlulit ceme hore and aid us in building railroads. The scoend was seme method, or attempted method, for pre von lug the disgraceful boeuou resulting Irem strikes for the laboring olemeut of the state and lookouts by the ompleyoa of labor." With like frankness Mr. Wallaoe said he shared the rogret of all PennsylvauianB at Mr. Randall's dofeat ; he did net think, howevor, that rulu would oemo te the country from CarlisIe'B olcetlon : la willing te trust the patriotism nnd sincerity of the Seuthern and Woatern Dernoeruta ; believes thu Pennsylvania mombers will net unltedly for the intercsts of tholrstate; thinks Tildeu'a health will net pertnit him te be a oandidate ; and favors a Dem oeratie poliey that will contrast with the demoralizing, dishonest nnd dcstriiotlve uses el money nt oleotlona by the Repub. licau party.
