Null's Trial.
James Nutt hns been put upon trial
In I'ltUbntR for killing N'lchehiB L.
Dnkea, whehad killed Nutt's father,
nnd whom a Jury hml acquitted of the
olmrce of murder. The particulars of
Iho Irasedlen and the events leading up I
Inflitm nm fnmllhir In tint itunnln nf I
Pennsylvania. The acquittal of Dukes
was chained te manipulation of
the jury and was in the face
of a violent and violently expressed
popular prejudice; though It was
nil tee plain that this prejudice nrose,
net be much from the immediate cir
cumstances of the killing for which
Dukca waa tried as from ether Incidents
fresh in the public mind.
New that James IS'utt Is placed en
trial, his case having been removed te
Pittsburg, because of the inability te
get a Tair Fayette county Jury, it was te
lmve been hoped that his friends who
liave been se scandalized by aliened mis
carriages of justice in Western
Pennsylvania, would have con
tributed te the decorum which
should characterize an occasion when
the life of one man Is at slake for his
having caused the death of another. A
wild Irishman and some giggling school
girls, net resium tlble probably for the
significance attached te their conduct,
made young Xutt's trip from one Jail te
another what the newspaper have called
"n triumphal journey." Upen the open
ing of the case in Pittsburg yesterday,
where u Jury lias been secured without
serious (lilllctiHy, the demonstrations of
the prisoner's friends were continued
in presence of these called te try Ins
case. Judge Stewe presiding ever tee
trial, very promptly and pre erly rebuked
them, by saying, when a big bouquet was
sent down from the gallery te the dt
teudaul : " There must be no mere of
that. If I observe any persen bringing
a bouquet into the court room, I will
have him committed "
If young Nutt Is te be acquitted, as
his friends se confidently assert, the
less display mudeuver it the better. It
may be shown that hu is insane, or was
at the time of the killing, and if se,
of course he is net te be held guilty of
murder ; but if any Jury In the com cem com
menwealth can be found 30 regardless of
law us te set the seal of acquittal upon
the act et a private individuil in killing
one ui.ni because he had killed anetht r,
let popular appieval of such a verdict be
checked ; it is only another form of mob
lawuud lynch courts, and they aie a
long step toward anarchy.
President' helm.
As was recommended by Mr. Getten
anticipated by the public and as seem'
te have been the unanimous preference
of the stockholders, Mr. Gee de II.
Ki'lm has been chosen te the presidency
of the Fli.ladelphu and Reading rail
road company. It is seldom that one
retiring Irem such a trust is that which
Mr. Getten has tilled with high ability
and quits with clean hands can commit
it te his successor with the confidence he
has a light te feel in Mr. Keim's ability
te discharge it s itisfactenly. Time was
that Mr. G wun'a retirement from the
read with winch he lias had audi bril
llant count ctien, would haveendaiigered
Us credit, that was net the time, how
ever, that one of his character would
go. Ills retirement is under circum
stances that justify the stockholders in
trusting largely te his judgment in the
choice of a successor, and the direction
he gave te It no doubt largely controlled
Mr. Keini's election ; but thus who
knew both well, their relations with eacli
ether and te the corporation iu the man
ajjeineut of which Mr. K-ini lias been
next te Mr. Gewen, knew very well that
iu the past Mr. Kelm has been no in
coubiderable pait of its direction.

why Iho guilty men weie allowed te

is te be hoped that Mr. Springer will

Betting S31,107 in a year, and Mr. Kcr
$31,877, for their hervices in trials winch
Iiavetims r.ir insulted in the accused
petting eh, has almost taken the peo pee peo
ple'd breath away. As u Republican
paper, suggests for 1111 outlay of ever
5100,000 Ter counsel fees alone we have
had two trials 011 a charge of " censpir
acy" the llrst resulting iu the conviction
as " conspirators" of two men who had
been enemies for yeais, and llrst met In
the prison van en the way te Jail, and
the second resulted in an acquital. When
Mr. Hinjaiiiln Harris Hrewster gives
the congressional committee the inside
of all this, Mr. Springer and thu country
will only begin te realize what a narrow
escape we had from Springer's threaten

As the tlme for the election of coun ceun coun

citizens and taxpayers te glvothe matter

the people of municipalities are coming
te regard the necessity of having their
public affairs conducted en the correct
principle of prlvate business. Men who
are net te be trusted in ether capacities

slightly bristled tllameuts mi the whole,
there i no doubt lu my mind that it is
the fiirr.i of a species i. Citeinc a
family of pied ioieus "wreimd Hectics."
Indeed, ou tinning te pi0 oil, of Prof,

probably, that species. My first
impressieu was that it belonged te the

Although macy or the "Ciuk Hectics
aie weinl beier.s, yet some et them pepu
lailycaled 'wire worms" are sometimes
destructi a te wheat, corn and teb ice .
l'he munt remarkable ptiaise of the sub
ject is that these insect larva sheul I be
leund running ubuut upon thu suew. At
no tune sicce the ground has been ceveiud
with suew (soma days before Christmas)
has the tuuipeiature been sullhieutly geuial

thore were hundred", perhaps theuxamls,

Possibly during a tempeiary elevation
of the temporature these llarpahdan l.irvm
may have been forced abroad in search of
