tganatota titalligactr. WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 1867 To the.Demilessey of Pennsylvania. The Democratio State Committee at its meeting, Jauntily 29th, at Harrisburg, adopted the following resolutions : Ist. That the regular Convention of the party for nominating a Candidate for the Supreme Bench be held at Harrisburg on the second TUESDAY of JUNE, 1867, at 12 M., and that the Convention shall be com posed of the usual number of delegates. 2nd. In addition thereto, Penns is recom mended to the Democracy of ylvania to forthwith elect in the usual manner two delegates of recognized position and in fluence in the party for eash Representative and Senator in their respective Districts who shall meet in Moss Convention at Harris burg, on a day to be fixed by the Chairman of the State Central Committee. By order of the Democratic State Com mites, WILLIAM A. WALLACE, B. L. FOSTER, Chairman Secretary, Sale Bills by Mall. We are now constantly receiving or ders for sale bills by mail,printing them most handsomely at the shortest notice, and sending them out, free of postage, by return mail. We do this to accom modate our friends. Rememcer, it is your duty to support the INTELLI GENCER by giving us your work. We do alf kinds of jobbing in the very best style, and as cheap as any other office in the county. Send along your orders. Advertising Sales of Personal Property. Generally our people are wide awake to their interests. They do not let an opportunity for making money slip if they can help it. If they have land or personal property to sell they go to the printer and gethaudsome posters. Gen erally land is advertised in the county papers. He would be regarded as foolish in this day who relied on posters alone to make known the fact that he offered real estate at either public or private sale. In the method of advertising sales of personal property, however, ourcoun try folks are behind the age. In very many counties in this State every man who has a sale of personal property ad vertidis It conspicuously In at least one of the county newspapers. They know the great advantage of so doing. A newspaper is read by ;hundreds who never see the at tractive bills which are posted In the taverns and the store rooms. Every subscriber to a county paper reads all such advertisements carefully. Ile knows who Is selling out and exactly what Is offered for sale. The adver tisements tire a topic of conversation when friends meet, and arrangements are made for attending sales. The re sult is a large crowd, spirited bidding and a realization of ten, twenty or fifty times what It cost to advertise. No money is so sure to return to large profit us that spent on printer's ink. A single additional bidder on u single article will pay all it cost to advertise a sale of per sonal property in a newspaper. Is it not strange, then, that any one should fail to advertise? Let our friends think of the matter. The I NTELl.iti I.:Jul.:it cir culates largely in every neighborhood in t e mutt ty. The handsome posters which we print are in dispensable, but not more so, if you desire to make the most out of your property, (Inman advertisement in the paper. Our word for it everyone who is lunlineed to advertise his vendue liberally, will admit that we were in strumental in putting a handsome sum of money in his pocket. Try it! Br -711(;711hVt, fl Single UdditiOnlll bithkr On single urliclr will MOO Than /nig !la Who Are the Friends of the Working Men. Radical newspapers in this State are _abusing all who did not vote for that bill of abominations, the Yankee tariff swindle, which recently passed the Senate. We have shown up some of its features, by which the most outrageous distinctions are made in favor of the Hell and against the poorer classes. The Democratic party of Pennsylvania have always been ready to support a proper and judicious tariff, but they will not consent to see the masses rob bed, as they will be under the proposed bill, without entering their protest. 'The Yankee monopolists who have crowded the lobbies of Congress have succeeded in forcing through the Senate a bill - which must make the burthens that now oppress the poor still harder to bear without giving them any equiva lent. By this bill Pennsylvania will be forced to pay millions more than she Will ever receive under its provisions, in the shape of bounties to Eastern mill owners and monopolists. 'There was some chance of a decline in goods, such as are worn and used by the poor, even under the high tariff already existing, but (here is now an end to all such pleasing anticipations. The laboring classes of Pennsylvania must make up their minds to he taxed beyond en durance to enable the New England monopolists to declare dividends of from fifty lo one hundred per cent. on their pigantic Investments. How could it be expected that Democrats would favor such a scheme of wholesale robbery? All the benefits conferred by the new tariff on the manufacturers of Pennsyl vania will be insignificant when com pared with the universal and increasing drain which will be made by It on the pockets of the farmers, the mechanics, the laboring classes In general, and all except the favored few. For such a tariff the Democrats can not vote. The ex isting tariff was supported by the Dem ocratle members of Congress from this State. They voted for It under protest, as the best thing they could get, but we do not see how one of them can con scientiously support this new scheme for robbing their constituents. Penn sylvania would be benelitted to the ex tent of millions by Its defeat. That, however, is not to be expected. The Rump Congress now in session seems to think its duty consists entirely in obeying the dictates or New England. Protecting the Rich and Oppressing the As au instance of the way the new tariff discriminates in favor of the rich and against 3 the consumer of moderate means, may be mentioned the item of woollen coatings. While the duty is raised from fifty-six to sixty-live per cent. on cloth costing $2.40 per yard in gold, it is raised from seventy-three to ninety-seven per cent. on cloth costing but $l.OB per yard ; and on cloth costing $2.60 per yard in gold the duty is sixty nine per cent., while the cloth costing eighty cents in gold has to pay a duty of eighty-six per cent. What-do the laboring men of Penn sylvania think of the kind of protection a Radical Congress is giving them? The " Loyal" Ruffians Taught a Lesson. Jacob Lenhart has lust secured a ver dict in the Fayette County Court, f o r $l,lOO damages against William and Joshua Frantz, and Archibald Boyd. It seems that in August last, when the parties were at a show iu Somerset county, the defendants, hearing it al- leged thatLenhart was a "copperhead," made an assault upon him and beat him. No doubt the rascals were under the delusion that they had a right to abuse any man who differed with them in politics. That is about "played out" as the boys say. • /lar A press of advertising this week prevents our giving as much reading matter as usual. We are sure our pa trons will excuse us under the circum stances. We Are Who can deny that we are making progress? It may not be in the right direction ; it may be in the broad, down ward road to political destruction; but we are certainly advancing.. This is an era of change. This nation is not to re main stationary. The good old days of our wise and freedom-loving fathers are considered entirely too slow for this fast generation. The political theories of such men as Washington, mill Jeffer son, and Madison, are regarded as un suited to the exigencies of the present. The Constitution which they framed is Only fit to be given to the owls and the bath ; the form of government they be queathed to us must be overturned. We have wiser and better men to guide us ; men who are fully up to the require ments of the gigantic present. Who could expect such men as are led by Sumner in the Senate, and by Thad. Stevens in the House, of the present Congress, to be tied down by any writ ten Constitution, to be'restrained by any known laws of political economy, or to be observant of any lessons taught by experience? What is our past with all its glories and its triumphs to them? They live in a grand utopian future. They have conceived of a new and more per fect republic, which is to rest on the broad shoulders of the negro. What a grand idea! How inspiring the thought that soon the last barrier between the races shall be done away with, and all men be placed on a broad plane of per fect social and political equality. The good time Is coming. We hear the stately steppings of reform. It is now a penal offence in Pennsylvania to prevent the greasiest and dirtiest speci men of a negro from forcing himself into the same seat in a railroad or street car, with the most fastidious white lady or gentleman. We have made one step in the right direction. The eye of the American eagle grew brighter as he heard the glad tidings, and WS loud note of exultation rung out from his perch upon the topmost branch of the tallest pine on the highest peak of the Alle ghenies. It hushed the voice of the tide along the Delaware, It sounded louder than the noise of the chaffing ice flood of the Ohio, It drowned the roar of the waves which dashed with fierce strength against the shore of Lake Erie. The noble bird screamed his loudest, and straightway muted. Of course we are advancing. Who Is so blind as not to see It? Mr. quays of BeavCr, Governor Curtin's special friend, has moved tostrike out the word white from the Constitution of the State of Pennsylvania, Soon we shall cease to lag behind Massachusetts. Before many years Philadelphia shall rival Boston, and Sambo shall sit in our legislative halls, and dicker for "diveys" with future imitators of the great Win- - nebugo. The good time 'scorning! Let all loyal men rejolee! Great is Cutry, and great shall be the triumph of the party of great moral ideas ! Thaddeus Stevens, old and spent as lie is, may live to see the day for which his heart longs and yearns. Then he can depart in peace to the place prepared for him from the beginning. The Negro In Our Legislature. 1 f there should he a single individual in this county who supposes that the negro is likely to be debarred from per fect equality much longer, we beg leave to refer him to the report of the proceed ings had in our State Senate, which ap pears in another column. It will be seen that the Radicals are in dead set earnest about this thing. They have resolved that any railroad company which dares to interfere with the right of a negro to go into what cars he pleases or sit where he pleases in a car, shall be subjected to heavy damages. Even sleeping cars are to be open to them as freely as they are to white men and women. They are not only to sit in the same seat, but to sleep in the same bunk with Sambo and Dinah. We protest against it. But of what avail are protests, when a set of crazy fanatics take it into their heads that the principles of the party of great moral ideas demand that there shall be an end of all distinction on account of color. These are uays of advancement, and wo to all who stand iu the path of progress. White men are fools if they think they are entitled to any privileges which are denied to the negro. That is the Radical creed, and its advocates ex pect to see the people endorse it by their votes. They claim that the election of Geary was au assent of the people of Pennsylvania to such doctrines. It is for those who supported him to say whether that is what they meant. Defeated Again We are glad to know that ThadLus Stevens is to lie again defeated. His 1)111 for establishing a military despotism on the ruins of our Republican Institu tion is meeting with bitter opposition from the more sensible and moderate men of the Republican party in the House. The speeches made by Messrs. Bingham of Ohlo, and Raymond and l;rimwold of New York, were power ful arguments against this infamous measure. It is now said that It cannot pass the (louse by a majority sufficient ly large to save it from being killed by a veto from President Johnson. So much for the last production of the celebrated Reconstruction Committee, which has as yet produced nothing but a succession of political abortions. One after another that body has been de livered of them by Old Thad. Stevens, who has acted midwife ou every occa sion. In spite of his most vigorous nursing they have all perished In his hands. We hope the readers of the Express may be able to bear the disappoint ment they must feel at the signal fail ure of all the confident predictions of the wonderful genius who does the scribbling for its columns. The mag nificently conceived scheme which was so carefully concocted, and Which he assured the readers of that paper was a law at the time they were reading his remarks, is only another dead cock iu the Radical pit. There were not fools enough even in the- Rump Con gress to force such an infamous measure through without consideration, and a very little consideration was enouge to ensure its ultimate defeat. The Extravagance of Congress The New York Tribune says : Congress has a Retrenchment committee, but what expenses are retrenched ? Nearly every day some bill is ,lli:red to help drain the Treasury, ;aid prevent What the people most need—reduction of Lax 111.1011 and liqui dation of the debt. It is fortunate that Democratic news papers are saved from all trou hie of de vis ingaccusations against the revol olio/Jury majority of Congress which Is now ar rogantly setting itself up as " the 140%1.1111- ment. " If we had made the above sweep ing charge of extravagance, it would have been pronounced "a .copperhead lie." When we take it from the leading Radical organ of the country it cannot be denied. It is true beyond a doubt. Never was there such extravagance and corruption as now exist in Congress. The money wrung from the tax-bu rtnen_ ed masses is recklessly squandered by a set of fanatics who are doing all they can to prevent a restoration of the Union and a return of vette° and prosperity. How much longer will the people of the North submit to be made the dupes of such a crew, The Tatteitliadtialleleile. We publish elsewhere the latest plan which has been devised by the Recon struction Committee for the purpose of completing and perpetuating a dissolu tion of the Union. No . man possessed Of ordinary judgment,ean read It *ith out being shocked. It proposes to de stroy at one sweep every veStige of civil government In one-half of the country, and to set up under the exclusive con trol of the Radicals in Congress, a mili tary despotism, pure and simple. Ten . States are to be at once blotted from existence. They are to be reduced, not to the condition of other territories, but to the sad state of hostile provinces. Military satraps 'are to be appointed over them. The people are to have no choice in the selection of their rulers. These arbitrary governors, these mill ions of a military despotism are not expected to rule iu accordance with any known or recognized laws. With their dictates no civil court can inter fere. There are to be no laws through out the South, except the rules of the camp and the will of a military chieftain. In order that there may be no mistake about the arbitrary features of this new form of government, the bill expressly provides that there shall be no interference by any civil author ity with the military control. No court can grant the privilege of a hearing on a writ of habeas corpus without the con sent of some military satrap. Every citizen is made liable to arrest, to sum mary trial, to conviction and execution, by an irrespousibleand unconstitutional military tribunal, from which there is to be no appeal. By this infamous bill war is declared anew, and the whole of the Southern States are made a camp. Under its provisions all courts are sub ordinate to drum head courts martial, and men may be seized, tried and hung in a manner sufficiently summary to satisfy the most bloodthirsty fanatic. To point out the unconstitutional fea. tures of a measure proposed by the revolutionary faction now in power is, we are sorry to say, not sufficient to en sure its defeat in Congress. With the roost brazen and unblushing reckless- ness such wen as Thaddeus Stevens trample the Constitution under their feet, and are applauded for their crimes. The insane fury of their followers ren- tiers th em as reckless as are their info , mous leaders. Possessed by a passion for plunder, and Influenced by lust of power, the leading Radicals are ready to perpetrate every voncelvable outrage In order that they may carry out their mad designs. They blind the masses of the North by exciting them by pas sionate appeals to an Insane hatred of the people of the South. Thus rendered to some ex tent secure against Immediate popular vengeance, they assail the most sacred principles of liberty and deliber ately devise means for the destruction of the very form of our freegovernment. We almost weary with the toil of con stantly exposing the unconstitutional character of the acts of the present mu tilated Congress. It is a labor like that imposed upon Sisyphus. This last plan of the Committee on Reconstruction is more infamous in its character, but not more clearly uncon stitutional than others of the score of abortions which have preceded it. The Central Directory has so far utterly failed to devise any scheme for perpe trating disunion, upon which the Rad ical leaders can agree among them selves. 'They are potent for mischief, but utterly powerless for good. They can destroy but cannot rebuild. The pivot on which this bill for es tablishing a military despotism is made to turn is General Grant. But General Grant must still remain subo'rdinate to . the President. By the Constitution the President is made Commanderin-Chief of the Army and Navy, with power to direct all their movements, to assign to every officer his sphere of duties, and to control loin therein. The idea of taking General Grant and a certain set of officers out of the control of the President is so glaring a violation of the Constitution of the United States, that it can never be executed. The Constitution, again, declares ex pressly that the " the privilege of the writ of " habeas corpus" shall never be suspended, unless when ru cases of rebellion or invasion, the public safety may require it." Will the Radical ma jority of Congress undertake to declare that either rebellion or invasion exists in any part of this country, when it is well known that there has not been a single human being in arms against the government for almost two years? Should they attempt such an outrage the Supreme 'ourt would at once de clare the bill null and void from the beginning. Thus is this last emanation of the Committee of Fifteen shown to be unconstitutional, and in all respects outrageous in its character. We do not expect the fanatics of the Rump Congress to evidence anything like statesmanship. They have given to this nation and to the world repeated evidences of their lack of political wis• don. They know that they dare not permit the restoration of the Union.— The return of peace between the dim severed sections would result in their speedy downfall. Being resolved not to yield their hold on power, they are ready to engage In any desperate scheme which promises a continuance of their rule. Rather than abandon the opportunity of enriching themselves by public plunder, they are ready to ruin the republic. \Vith the busi ness of the nation prostrate, and the whole financial structure trembling about us, they deliberately propose a plan which must destroy the industrial pursuits of the South and throw vastly heavier burthens upon the North. A day of reckoning will yet come. It may be delayed, but every delay will only add to the penalties which will inevi tably be exacted when it shall arrive. No nation can deliver itself up to the rule of a set of fools and fanatics with out paying dearly for its folly. George Peabody's Great GM. George Peabody has finally crowned the long list of his magnificent charities by a gift of over two million of dollars, to be used, as he expresses it in his own noble words, " for the promotion and encouragement of intellectual, moral or industrial education among the young of the more destitute por tions of our Union." So magnificent a charity as this the world has not often witnessed. This fund is put into the hands of a committee of the best and most distinguished citizens of the differ ent sections. That it will be judici ously applied there can be no doubt. A Thing Much Needed. The Radical in Congress have started a Congressional Temperance Society. Wilson of Massachusetts is /President and drunken Dick. Yates of Illinois is reported to be one of the Vice Presidents. 1f the society succeeds in making a sober and decent man of him it will have accomplished a very decided refor mation. There are numerous other itaillonk of the same stripe who ought to be brought within the folds of the orguolzigion.

We do not, therefore, wonder that the impeachment of the President should be spoken of as if it were a matter entirely similar to the trial of a petty case in the Quarter Sessions of our Coun ty Court. Nor does it surprise us to find that in attempting to set forth the grounds on which the Radicpls intend to base the impeachment of the Presi dent, he should find himself utterly unable to point out a single violation of any known law, .or even a failure to perform aright an official duty. Even at this late day, when every possible ground of accusation against President Johnson has been most carefully can vased, the Express is compelled to con tent itself with the following summing up: If men hereafter are to think that as soon as they reach the chief seat in Washington, they can make incoherent and insulting orations, and swing round the circle, pub lishing their own and theircountry's shame from Maine to Minnesota—that they can empty penitentiaries and fill the federal offices and fat places with unrepentant and defiant rebels at their reckless and intern-' perate will, we are establishing a dangerous and fatal doctrine. From that specimen of balderdash we are able to discover that there are two grounds of accusation against the Presi dent; first, that of a want of dignity, and secondly, a failure to fill all the of fices with Radicals. The military edi tor of the Express is utterly unable to brings single other charge against him. Of the first it may be said that It sounds strangely indeed in the columns of a newspaper which glorifies the name of the man who told in the Presidential Mansion, to miscellaneous assemblages, a multitude of filthy stories which are now constantly repeated as "good things," by the vulgar crowds which assemble in the lowest groggeries and rum holes in our towns and cities. Iff A u drew Johnson Is not always as digni fied us the code of Chesterfield might require, lie has certainly never yet be come a standard authority for the most obscene Jokes and stories which are re lated in brothels and bar-rooms. Just as groundless is the second charge, which Is after all the real cause of offense. Had President Johnson never exercised his constitutional right to remove cer tain Radicals from office, we should never have heard of the movement now being made to impeach him. litter as is the failure of the militar t y editor of the Expre,Ns to advance a single charge against the President worthy of consid eration, he is not worse off than are the Radicals In Congress. Were all the charges which have been made against the President fully proved, they would not constitute, good ground for judicial censure, much less for removal from office. But we did not start out to review the charges made against President John son, or to discuss the right of Congress to arraign him upon them. The Presi dent has no cause to fear any fair and open investigation into his official con duct. He can challenge the closest scrutiny with the assurance that it will only result in the complete confusion and discomfiture of his enemies. To any fair and impartial investigation of his official acts, neither Andrew Johnson nor any of his friends would have the slightest objection. We do not suppose the question of jurisdiction would be raised, though it might very prop erly be with one third of the States unrepresented in the Senate. The Radicals themselves know that any attempt to impeach the Presi dent could only result in great damage to their party, unless they could accomplish their cherished design of deposing him in effect from the moment the trial was commenced. They find that the President and the Supreme Court are insurmountable constitutional barriers in the path which they have marked out for themselves. Their mad schemes cannot be fully carried out until these co-ordinate branches of the general government are destroyed or made subservient to their purposes. They can force unconstitutional acts through Congress by a two thirds vote over the veto of the President, but they cannot prevent the Judges of the Su preme Court who were appointed by Mr. Lincoln from pronouncing their acts to be unconstitutional, void and inorerative. To get rid of the Supreme Court, or to change it, they must get rid of Andrew Johnson. The projected Impeachment is the agency to which they have declared their intention to resort, not with the belief that any fair trial would result in the removal of the President from office, but in order that they may appoint some creature of their own choosing to discharge the duties of his office from the Lour when he Is ar raigned. Such is the revolutionary de sign which alarms the people, and causes an intense agitation in the busi ness circles of our cities. It is this, an I impending coup d'etat, for which the people must prepare. Believing that such a revolutionary change as this could not be effected without the destruction of the very form or the free and Constitutional gov• eminent bequeathed to us by the foun ders of the Republic, the Democratic party would be bound to resist it to the last extremity. The Democratic party has always been a party of law and order. During• the past six years we have counseled submission for the time being to the greatest possible outrages, because we believed that under our form of free government the day would come when these wrongs done to individuals in whose persons the most sacred rights were violated, would all be righted. We have lived to see that done ; have lived to have the Judges of the Supreme Court of the United States appointed by Abraham Lincoln, denounce his acts as unconstitutional, and as the grossest outrages upon the rights and liberties of the people. Can any one doubt what would be the duty...f every good citizen if the Radi cals In Congress should attempt to perfect their coup d'etat, to carry out their projected revolution? Would we be worthy of the name of freemen if we submitted to see the government of our fathers thusbroken up? Would not the very same regard for law and order which led us to submit to outrages upon liberty on the persons of individual citizens, force us to rally as one man to the rescue of our form of free govern ment from certain destruction ? Let not the Radicals mistake the firm temper of that party which could rally under its banners a very large majority of the people. The Democratic party of the North has in Its ranks this day a great pre ponderance of the fighting material of this section ; and to such an appeal as would be made in case the enemies of the country should attempt to carry out their projected plan of revolution, they would respond with a unanimity, an alacrity and a fierceness of resolve, such as was never before witnessed.

The Complexion of the Next Conirresm The following is the political character of the Congress which will assemble on the sth of March : In the Senate there will be but five demo crats, proper; Messrs. Saulsbury and Rid dle of Delaware; Mr. Hendricks, of Indiana; Mr. Guthrie, of Kentucky, and Mr. Buckalow, of Pennsylvania. The democrats, on national questions, will, how ever .he reinforced by seven conservatives, Messrs. Johnson and Swann, of Maryland; Davis, of Kentucky ; Norton, of Minnesota; Patterson, of Tennessee; Doolittle, of Wis consin, and Dixon, of Connecticut, making twelve in all. The radical strength will be forty, and adding Nebraska, forty-two, thus giving them much more than a three-fourths majority. In the House, which, excluding the Southern States, is composed of 191 members, there will be 29 vacancies in consequence of no elections having us yet been held In several of the States. It will stand on the 4th of March, 129 radicals to 37 democrats, giving the republicans more than a three-tourths vote, and if the present repeesentation in the States to elect is not changed, the radical strength will not be diminished. It wilt thus be seen that the radical party for the next two years will have absolute control of the government. The Enlistment of Boys In the Army General Grant, in a circular recently is sued from the headquarters of the army, says that hereafter boys under twenty-one years of age will not be enlisted excepting for the purpose of learning music, and even then the enlistment will only be made after authority is obtained from the Superintend ent of the Recruiting Service or the Adju tant General of the army, and written con sent is given by the parent, guardian or master of the boy. When this cannot be obtained boys will not be enlisted. Radical Love for the Soldiers- Private Miles O'Reiley, General Haipine of New York, writing to his paper from Washington City, says: The Senate, in its eagerness to slaughter Mr. Johnson's proteges, is making a mighty bad record for itself with regard to " Our Boys who Wore the Blue." It has rejected scores of noble and deserving soldiers for no other reason than that their names had been sent in for various places by the Pres ident—as if, because Mr. Johnson may be wrong in some points, his sins were pos sessed of so foul a contagion as to blast and sully the brightest record of men who did gallant service during the war. Take the case of young Major Howe, formerly of the "Bloody Sixth Massachusetts," and for years a confidential and trusted staffofficer of Maj. Gen. Sedgwick ; yet even he, when sent in for Collector of the Eighth Massa chusetts District, is rejected! So also with Gen. Pratt, of Brooklyn, who travels round at this writing with a minie ball somewhere hidden in his neck, and whose record can not be surpassed. So likewise with Gen. Eagan ; and so on with nearly two score of faithful and patriotic appointees, distin plashed graduates of the army, who have been kicked by the Senate off the ladder upon which Mr. Johnson strove to place their feet. A Lull record of these rejections is now being prepared by Mr. Hanscombe, of the .Repubitean—the personal and army history of each officer being given after his name; and when this shall come to be pub- Relied and used oratorically as a campaign document, it certainly will do the reverse of good to the Radicals as represented in the Senate—the reverse of injury to the • President.

On last Thursday a German music teach er, who was passing along a road in Wash ington township, York county, was killed by the fall of a tree which two men were cutting near by.

Whether this phenomenon is general, or only confined to particular localities, wo are not able to state. Mr. H. S. Morse, who resides on Centro ?area, caged several and brought them to our office. They were as live ly as in mid-summer. The grass in his yards is filled with thesostirnmer vb.:Hants. Who has seen winter grasshoppers elsewhere?" They have had two suicides at York within the past week. A resident of the Borough named David Jacoby shot him self ou Sunday afternoon last, at the house tenanted by him in North Water street, while Constable Smith was making a search in another room for articles alleged to have been stolen. He placed the muzzle of the gun under his chin and discharging the weapon by his foot or otherwise, the load passed up through his head, causing immediate death.
