Friday Mommy.— Com’th vs. John Col dren, ct al. o. J. Dipkey, Esq., concluded the argu inent in the above case on behalf of the Commonwealth. 1 The charge of the Judge was of such a character as to leave no doubt on the minds of all present that the Court considered that there was not sufficient evidence to impli cate either ’Squire Erb, Samuel E. Keller, or I. F. Bomberger, in the conspiracy, if any existed. Coldren and Weidman were loft in the hands of the Jury, under the charge of the Court. The jury returned a verdict of guilty •as to John Coldren and Aaron R. Weidman,- and not guilty as to Samuel'E, Keller, Isaac F. Bpmberger and John B. Erb.

W. Gara. Indictment larceny. The defendant was charged with baying stolen one 550 coupon note, one $lO bill on the York Bank, and some greenbacks, amounting in all to $ll5 or §125, from a drawer in the sleeping room of one Jacob K ratner, the keeper a public bouse in the village of Paradise. The crime was alleged to have been committed on the 3d day of August last, while the fam ily of Mr. Kramer were absent from the house attending the funeral of one of his children. Some two or three witnesses were exam ined for the prosecution, without eliciting a particle of proof to implicate Mr. Gara, when, owing to the absence of two witness es on the part of the Commonwealth, the Court adjourned until Saturday morning, at (t o’clock. Saturday Morning. —The above case was resumed, and the Commonwealth failed to elicit any proof from its witnesses calcula ted to fasten the crime charged upon Mr. Gara. The defence called a large number of wit nesses, all of whom testified to the honesty and the honorable character of Mr. Gara. The Commonwealth called a number of witnesses with intent to impeach the char acter of Mr. Gara for honesty, but failed to elicit anything in the shape ot evidence to that effect, the witnesses uniting with those of the defence in testifying to his good char acter. The case was given after argument of counsel to the Jury, and the Court adjourn ed till 2 o’clock. The Jury returned a verdict of not guilty. January Term of Quarter Sessions.

Reynolds appeared for the Commonwealth, and Messrs. Aniwnke, Dickey, Brown and Nauman, for the defence. The Commonwealth opening, stated that Eugene Kurtz, John Russel, James Smith, Wm. Minnich and William Bedford, are charged on two indictments—one for steal ing a horse, and the other for stealing a buggy and set of harness—the property of Leman, Murphy A Co., of this city. These persons, who live in Philadelphia, came to Lancaster on a horse stealing ex pedition ; came here in the night and put up i\l Kendig's Hotel, under assumed names ; Russel and Minnich it was agreed should hire a horse and buggy at one liver}’’ stable, and the other three should hire a two horse team at another. Russel and Minnich got their team, but the other three for some reason did not. The whole live were arrested together in Phila- delphia. Kurtz was not placed on account of illness. Russell was allowed to become Ho lestilied that on Saturday afternoon, .September JOtb, Jfcfio, he went into a cellar on North Sixth street, Philadelphia; ob served Minnich, Bedford and Kurtz; they proposed going to Lancaster on a horse stealing expedition that night; Minnich, Bedford and myself went out and got sup per; we returned to the cellar, when Kurtz and Smith joined us ; we then started to the depot, and the whole live of us came to Lan caster on the 11 o'clock train, and went to the-City Hotel ; Kurtz registered our names as follows; Eugene Hawthorne and friend, New A ork ; Alex.

We selected a team and drove away toward Philadelphia ; got there at 10 o'clock ; put up our team at Kith and Coates street; next day about 12 o’clock we met the other boys; one of them said “you fellows raised hell in Lancaster, and we had to say we did not know you;’’ Smith and I went up to ltith and Coates street and got the buggy, drove down to Queen street, between 2d and 3d, to Mr. Brown’s livery stable; afterwards we* took the team to 12th and Vine, to a livery stable. On Wednesday Bedford and 1 \\ient to see Sol.

A jury was empannelled, when the Court adjourned to 2J P. M. The Negro in- the Political Ring— Prof.(!) W. H. Day’s Lecture.—Monday was a bad time for negroes to be engaged in political enterprises. There was nothing tropical about the weather. A fierce snow storm was driving down upon us from the inhospitable North, which no doubt caused many a lately made freed man to sigh for the comfortable home be had left in the genial clime of tho sunny South. The ne gro population of Lancaster city is not yery large. Somehow, in spite of the encourage ment given to them by and the precepts of our representative in Congress, they do not seem to flourish in this good, old-fashioned Dutch Democratic town. But, few though they be, it seems they have got up a negro L nion League, organized to take especial care of the interests of the negro race, in which respect it is an exact coun terpart ol all tho so-called Union Leagues of which we have any knowledge. Tho sensation of the season with them has been a lecture from a certain celebrated negro orator, who goes under the high sounding title ot Pro!. W. H. Day. Agreeably to ap pointment the affair came off in the Afri can M. E. Church last night. Through the blinding snow storm, in company with a couple of friends of opposite political fuith, we made our way Lo the ratherobscure and decidedly notorious part of the city where the church is located. Entering the sacred edifice we found it about half tilled with a crowd of “ free Americans of African de scent,” It was a motley assemblage. Some of them, both men and women, had evi dently been imbibing too freely. The crowd was noisy mid disorderly, and the scene witnessed did not seem calculated to impress any one wifh a very exalted idea ofthe fitness of those assembled to participate in the management ofthe affairs ofthe na tion. The exercises ofthe evening were opened by a prayer from u Brudder Bosting.” The next thing on the programme was the reading of a letter from Stephen Smith and other negroes of Philadelphia to Rob ert Boston, recommending the calling of a public meeting of thenegroes of this city for the purpose of raising money to send a certain darky named William Whipper to Washington as a member of Horace Gree ley's outside (,’ongress. The lecture was gotten up to further that result. The lecturer is a copper colored mulatto with talents sufficient to make him some thing of a notoriety the colored population, and enough for any purpose. He commenced by eongratu laling those present on the great change which the war bad wrought, and assured them that the time was not far distant when they would stand on the high plane of equal lie said the llag was worth loving now; paid a tribute to the memory of Mr. Lincolti; and eulogized Thaddeus Stevens. The iiieii’i ci of t tie name of our represen tative brought down me House, and a good looking wench, wiio had been indulging pretty freely, cried out “go in Stevens bully for you.’’ The lecturer next pro ceeded to speak of nn organization that ex ists among the negroes of tins city, being a branch of the Negro Union League. The Lodge of Lancaster it seems bears the proud title of “ The Old Guard ;’’ borrowed we suppose from the nomenclature of our Republican frieiuls. Its object was de clared to be to further the great object of their obtaining equal rights in the State and the Nation. They had voted, why should they not vote now. Though slavery had been abolished the net work remains; the black man was denied fqual rights; could not ride in the same cars with the whites ; was not allowed to sit on juries; prevented from being a witness in Court; and denied the right to vote. The negroes had fought for these rights and ought to have them.— The lecturer stated that he had enjoyed a conversation with Chief Justice Chase. He was with them in their efforts to secure their rights. The rights of the negro was tlj&bur-- then of the lecture from its commencement tot itsconelusion. The lecturer did not ask than it be granted but boldly demanded We wish every white man in Lancaster county could have been present. We really think very many who have here tofore blindly followed Thad.-Stevens and his mottoe of equal rights for the negro, would have beeu so completely disgusted that they would have been ready to aban-. don that political organization which advo cates so odious a doctrine. How much mo ney was realized toward paying the salary ol* outside Congressman Whippor we did not learn. We think he is rightly named as he and his companions are to goto Wash ington to act as whippers in of such weak kneed Republican members of the inside Congress as may not be disposed to come up squarely to the great work of conferring political and social equality upon the 'ne groes. He said the Hattie for equal rights, had commenced as early as 1620, and was par tially won in IS>:>; all they had to do wasto perfect their leagues and continuethestrug- gle, and many ot those present would vet s live to sing the sbng of the jubilee ; and to participate in the enjoyment of the right to vote and ail other rights of a political and social character. The Concert. —The Complimentary Concert on Thursday last, to Prof. William B. Hall was a perfect ovatirffi, Fulton Ilall being crowded in every part by the beijuty and fashion of the city. The Can tata of “ Esther” was repeated, the former amateurs all taking part, with the excep tion of Mr. E. 11. Basi, “ King Ahasuerus,’- who. uuiortuualely, was prevented from doing so by a severe sore throat. Ills place was ably tilled, however, by a gentleman of this city, who is one of the finest Bass singers in the State. Mr. John Hart read the Scriptural parts of the Cantata in a clear and distinct manner. second part of the programme was admirably arranged and carried out. The Misses Bare again sang several pieces with charming effect, and were heartily encored. Messrs. Hall and Ileinitsh, in costume sang the humorous song of “ Billy Grimes,’ the Drover,” amid shouts of laughter and applause. Air. B. F. Shreiner performed a superb solo on the Piano, of which instru ment he seems to be perfect master. Miss Josephine Boyd kindly consented to appear, and sang with exquisite sweetness 44 Robert Idol of my ITeart;” the “ Laughing Song,’-’ and “ Kathleen Mavourneen.” Her full, rich Soprano voice is under thorough culti vation, and her singing fairly took the au dience bv storm. This concert has proved beyond all doubt that we have an abundance of tirst-class musical talent in this city, and the thanks of the entire community are due Prof. Hall for his efforts in developing the same. —The only, thing to mar the pleasure of the occasion was “ that everlasting baby ” the capacity of whose lungs was most vokingly tested while Miss C. L. Bare was singing the touchingly beautiful song of “Aura Lee.” Now, we are somewhat fond of babies (albeit, we are fast approaching bachelordom) when they are in their proper places in the nursery; but are most decided ly opposed to their being brought to con certs and other places of amusement, where they generally prove a great annoyance to those who go to see what is to be seen, and appreciate what is to be appreciated. Died of .his Injuries.— On Tuesday last, as Mr, John Neff, of East Lampeter town ship, this county, was on his way homo from this city, he was thrown from his horse on the Philadelphia turnpike, near the resi dence of Wm. Carpenter. Esq. He was picked up in an insensible condition and carried to Mr. Potts' hotel, at Winner’s bridge, and afterwards removed home; he has since died of his injuries. Mr. Neff was well'known both in the city and oounty, - The 77th. —A Humorous Account or : telexr Trip from New Orleans North ward.—yve publish the following humor ous description of the trip of the 77th Regi ment, P. V. V., from New Orleans, north ward. The author is that well-known character, Alf. Burnett, and it will fairly “split the sides” of all the friends of the Regiment in reading it. It was written for the Pittsburg Chronicle: Editors Chronicle: —It was my good for tune to take passage with this gallant regi ment at New Orleans, and remain with them for over a week. They embarked on board the Emerald, and although the boat was not a fast one, the good nature of the soldiers composing the regiment made everything pass off most delightfully. The boys had a bard time getting from Guadaloupe river. For ten days they tried sand, which is the chief product of a bar upon which the boat ran. That kind of bar didn’t suit the boys—neither could they rel ish the sand—which is —under them. This was called “powder bar,” but as it rained like “blue devils,’’ the simile of dry as a powder horn failed again. There are four full companies from Pitts burg aboard—B, C, D and E. Company F from Blair county, company G from Scran ton, H from Newcastle, I from Harrisburg, K from Lancaster, A from C’b ambers burg. Lieut. Col. Robinson was in command, but Col. R. having bnsiness away—they were under Major J. J. Lawson. There was no lack of fun aboard, for with “ Chess, Crib bage, Euchre, Seven-up, Family Worship, ana stopping at Brown’s Coal Yard, Eating Radishes,” etc., the time passed off most agreeably. At Memphis one hour was given the offi cers to run up town and buy books, “orget a drink.” Nine officers overstayed their time—arrived at the wharf in time to yell out and beg to be taken on—but the Cap tain didn’t heed them—and the boys en joyed the sport and amused themselves at the officers’ expense, by yelling out to them, “Grab a root! Grab a root!” an old war cry of “ langsyne.” When making a charge over a steep hill side, a German officer told his boys to go up—climb! git! grab a root! and save yourselves.' Captain Bell, of Harrisburg, got up a good circus comptlny on board the boat, and en listed quite a splendid company. Captain Skinner was Ring Master. Lieut. Drake, Master of Equestrian Department. Captain Glover, Clown. Doctor Adair performed on the slack wire, and also pulled several teeth with one arm. This delightful and amusing scene was relished by the lookers on more than by the subjects. Dr. McCandless sang “John Brown,” with variations, and concluded bv throw ing a “ coal boat sommersault.” This feat he also performed once before at Vicksburg. Lieut. Rhodes kindly volunteered’to plav “seven-up” for UieJJdrinks for all the “cir cus fellers.” Whilst Lieut. Richards was in the midst of one of his masterpieces of art, standing on his head, the manager an nounced that the door-keeper, Lieut. Coch ran, had run off with the funds—escaped to the hurricane roof. Lieut. Mapes was sent in pursuit and was not heard from till both had spent the money. Lieut. Poritz was introduced as the Wild Indian, and delighted the audience by giv ing specimens of the Texan War Whoop! But wlmt shall we say of Capt. Robacher, the fascinating and graceful Robacher?— When Jus name was announced, thunders of applause showed the high estimation in which he was held. Robacher held in one hand a bottle, in another a glass, and by one of those dexter- ous movements lor which he is so celebrated he, in a moment, changed the position ofthe fluid from the bottle to the glass,and in an other instant the fluiddisapueared. All the officers wanted to try this beautiful speci men of Prestidigitation, but the rules ot the boat were inexorable and they were denied. Adjutant Bennett's trial of strength—lift ing two feather pillows—produced much merriment. The musculardevelopments of this gentleman will soon prove him cham pion of the regiment. * Lieut. Guiserand Lieut. Brook bank’s solo on the jewsharp and fine tooth comb, elici ted groans from the crowd—they were tiie only disgrace to thetroupe; asapublicjour nalist we deem censure just when writing a critical article. The beautiful poetic gem, enftled “Mary hadalittle Lamb,” was well recited by Lieut. Drake. Genera] Rose rose to express his gratifi cation at the entertainment, but thought it more pertinent to call it a Variety Show, than a circus, as the mules were itf the low er state room, and could not be brought up in the ladies' cabin.

Death of an Old l* ri end. —Wo regret to announce the death of Mr. John Eshle man, which occurred on Saturday at the residence of his brother-in-law, Air. Wil liam Johnson, on East Chestnut street. Mr. E. had been a sufferer from that dread dis ease, Consumption, for the last twenty years, but always bore his affliction with Christian fortitude and resignation. He was one of the noblest-hearted men that we ever knew. In his political principles he was a firm and undeviating Democrat, and as a friend was steadfast and sincere. It can said of him that he was “an honest*man, the noblest work of God.” He was one of the best and most intelligent machinists in the country, and the gentle men of that profession to whom bewas well known will learn of his death with much regret. Peace to the ashes of a man whom years ago we learned to respect and esteem. The Samburg grape of Portugal is now cultivated in this country for the prepara tion of a wine unexcelled by the vintages of the choicest port, to which it stronglyas similates in its mellow juiciness, richnessof flavor and brilliancy of color. The fruit has been brought to a perfection never attained in Portugal, by Mr. A. Speer, in his vine yard, New Jersey. Physicians say it is su perior to port for invalids. Clergymen use it for its purity as a communion wine while the most fashionable families drink it as a dinner wine.— N, Y. TYibutie. For sale by H. E.

S. W. Reigart, a very agreeable visit on Friday evening, the 22d ult; Mr. R. has recently gone to housekeeping, and had just taken possession of his house, in Fawn street, when it was besieged by his people, who came with bags of potatoes, sacks of flour, packages of coffee, sugar, tea and other groceries; cans of fruit, baskets of cakes, strings of sausage, turkeys, chick ens, Ac., to start him in housekeeping; One gentleman contributed a car load of coal. Donations in money, amounting in all to forty-six dollars, were also received. All this was very pleasant and creditable to the liberality of the congregation. After the donations had been made, one of the ladies, who were chiefly concerned in getting up the affair, read the following amusing verses, which were briefly, but suitably, re spooded to by the Revereud gentleman : We’re a coming, dear pastor, with greenbacks, and so forti .
